🚨 Top Blockchain News of the Week: 18th August 2024 🚨 1. The #FBI responded to a #FOIA request about #Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto with a "Glomar response," neither confirming nor denying they have records on him. The response intriguingly refers to #Satoshi as an individual, sparking further speculation about his identity. 2. $600M in bitcoin from the Silk Road case was sent to a #Coinbase wallet, per #Arkham. The U.S. #DOJ had earlier seized these funds, which are part of a broader $2B confiscation. 3. Recent 13F filings reveal increasing hedge fund #investments in #BlackRock’s bitcoin #ETF, with major players like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley showcasing significant positions as of June 30. 4. #Binance has resumed operations in India after successfully registering with the Financial Intelligence Unit (#FIU-IND) following a seven-month block. CEO Richard Teng highlighted this as a key milestone, aligning Binance with Indian #regulations. 5. #Dubai's court endorses #crypto for salary payments, reflecting a progressive approach to #Web3 and #digitalcurrency integration in UAE's employment contracts.

Who's in #Toronto next week?? 🇨🇦 We're gearing up for Blockchain Futurist Conference, Canada's largest web3 event! Toronto's crypto scene is vibrant and rapidly growing, anchored by a strong #blockchain community and key industry players, including the co-founders of #Ethereum. It is home to innovative startups, academic research, and a progressive regulatory environment. With its active ecosystem and global influence, Toronto is a significant hub for #web3 innovation. So we're excited to pay another visit! Maral Nouri will join Jordan Anderson (Newton.co), Mansoor Madhavji (Blockchain Founders Fund), and Michael Rabkin (DV Chain) on stage to explore the future of #crypto and #DigitalAssets. This is a crucial conversation, especially given the current ambivalent and highly volatile market sentiment. Our team will have a booth at the event, so come and say hi if you are around 👋 See you soon in Toronto! #Futurist24

🚨 Top Blockchain News of the Week: 4th July 2024 🚨 1. Despite a 13% drop in #BTC this month, indicators like the 180-day call-put skew remain positive, suggesting a #bullish outlook. This skew measures the demand for call options, which are bets on price increases. 2. U.S. spot bitcoin #ETFs recorded $168.4M in net outflows amid market fluctuations. #Grayscale’s #GBTC led the outflows with $69.12M, while its newest #bitcoin trust saw $21.81M in inflows, reflecting diverse investor responses. 3. #NFT artists are suing the #SEC over vague regulations, arguing that just as traditional artists like Warhol or musicians like Dylan didn't face such scrutiny, digital art shouldn't be treated as #securities. They claim this ambiguity hinders creativity. 4. Centralized #crypto exchanges are losing traction as #DeFi platforms gain a larger share of the market. #DEX volume rose by 34%, from $133.5B in January to $179.5B recently, showing significant growth in preference for decentralized trading solutions. 5. #Elon Musk's #Neuralink successfully conducted a second human trial. The implant, with 400 electrodes, aims to enhance human capabilities, according to #Musk's #podcast revelation. Check here for more information: https://lnkd.in/dYQDnsky
