Crypto news

The action kicked off with tiny transactions, whispering from the shadows of the old “1…” legacy wallets-probably trying to get in shape for their next big move. Last spotted in February 2021, these wallets decided to air out their dusty holdings with a series of microscopic transactions-because nothing says ‘I have something to hide’ like a parade of digital dust. Then, just like in all good thrillers, 33.7 BTC was whisked away through an intermediary hop, only to land in Coinbase Prime’s waiting embrace. Fancy, right?

And it wasn’t just Bitcoin-altcoins jumped in the chaos, probably trying to escape too, which helped push liquidations past the staggering $400 million mark. That’s a lot of financial heartbreak in just a single Friday afternoon, enough to make even the most hardened trader consider early retirement or a very long vacation on a beach somewhere that doesn’t accept crypto.

The legislative kabuki revolves around a proposed bill-an attempt to let pension funds peek into the glittering but treacherous crypto abyss. The labor unions, with the solemnity of ancient prophets, warn that such an act is akin to handing over grandma’s savings to a lady with a crystal ball-predictably capricious and likely to vanish in a puff of digital smoke. “Cryptos are too wild,” they cry, “and no one should gamble their golden years on this carnival of chaos.”

At CryptoMoon’s latest LONGITUDE event, these fine folks delivered optimistic forecasts, following a year of positive shifts, especially in the United States. You can practically hear the collective sigh of relief from the crypto community as they talk about how things are finally looking up. 🙌

The Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) has handed out no objection certificates like confetti at a party, letting Binance and HTX set up shop. 🎉 AML policies? Oh, they’re just a fancy way of saying “don’t steal too much.”

Capital A Berhad, the folks who make AirAsia soar (or crash, depending on the day), and Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia have teamed up to launch a ringgit-backed stablecoin. Under Bank Negara Malaysia’s watchful eye, they’re turning fiat into pixels with the flair of a circus act. 🎪

But fear not, investors! Tether promises “liquidity” through share buybacks and tokenized equity-because nothing says stability like turning corporate shares into a blockchain slot machine. 🎰🔗 Imagine: a buyout orchestrated by robots, all while the CEO giggles into a spreadsheet. 📊😈

However, new reports reveal quietly growing positive signals. These signals form the basis for analysts to predict that the price may soon break above $100.

Picture this: Ripple’s main wallet, “Ripple (50)” (sounds like a Bond villain’s offshore account), lobbed 75 million XRP to a smaller wallet, which then tossed it to Binance’s “rpxh7h” wallet. It’s the blockchain equivalent of a shell game-except the shell never moves to a new table, and everyone’s just hoping no one’s holding a short straw. 🙃
