WEBVTT 00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:18.300 Hey there, welcome to today's show. We've got 00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.160 some exciting news to share in the world of Bitcoin. 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.480 It's back up above $30 ,000 in USD. That's definitely 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.679 a reason to celebrate. But hold on, it's not 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:29.640 all rainbows and sunshine in the Bitcoin world. 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.320 Rumor has it that Bitcoin is dead again and funeral 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.619 arrangements are being made. If you feel like 00:00:35.619 --> 00:00:37.700 sending flowers, Warren Buffett is the guy to 00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:40.439 contact. I wonder what kind of flowers he likes. 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.659 Moving on, let's take a trip down memory lane. 00:00:43.869 --> 00:00:46.369 Remember that moment when someone held up a sign 00:00:46.369 --> 00:00:49.329 saying buy Bitcoin during Yellen's testimony 00:00:49.329 --> 00:00:53.170 to Congress? Ah, good times. It's always nice 00:00:53.170 --> 00:00:55.929 to reminisce about those pivotal moments. Breaking 00:00:55.929 --> 00:00:58.590 news alert, we have reached a new all -time high 00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:00.929 in the number of addresses holding at least one 00:01:00.929 --> 00:01:03.929 full Bitcoin. How cool is that? It just goes 00:01:03.929 --> 00:01:06.150 to show the growing interest and adoption of 00:01:06.150 --> 00:01:08.450 this digital currency. Let's keep those numbers 00:01:08.450 --> 00:01:11.310 climbing. Today, we have an interesting development. 00:01:11.969 --> 00:01:15.269 Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz has some insider info. 00:01:15.909 --> 00:01:18.069 Apparently his contacts at Blackrock and Invesco 00:01:18.069 --> 00:01:20.269 have assured him that the approval of a spot 00:01:20.269 --> 00:01:23.909 Bitcoin ETF is not a matter of if, but rather 00:01:23.909 --> 00:01:27.930 when. That's huge or is it? The timeline for 00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:30.209 approval is projected to be around four to six 00:01:30.209 --> 00:01:33.269 months. So fingers crossed and let's hope for 00:01:33.269 --> 00:01:35.540 some positive news in the near future. Block 00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:38.040 Inc., a major player in the industry, has just 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.920 announced their Q2 Bitcoin revenue, which soared 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.659 to a whopping $1 .16 billion. That's a 39 % increase 00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:48.840 compared to last year. Talk about growth. It's 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.099 clear that Bitcoin is making some serious moves 00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:53.739 and gaining traction in the market. Here's a 00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:55.939 fun little tidbit. Did you know that there's 00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:58.780 a German bakery accepting Bitcoin? That's right, 00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:01.599 folks. You can now satisfy your sweet tooth while 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.239 embracing the world of cryptocurrencies. It's 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.340 great to see businesses embracing this innovative 00:02:06.340 --> 00:02:09.280 payment method. And now let's dive into the world 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.620 of podcasts. American Hadiel recently sat down 00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:14.919 for an interview on the What Bitcoin Did podcast. 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.719 During the conversation, he shed light on how 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.099 the fiat system can be seen as a slave system. 00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:22.840 It's an interesting perspective that challenges 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.580 our traditional understanding of currency. Next 00:02:25.580 --> 00:02:27.860 up, we have Samson Moe sharing his thoughts on 00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:29.939 grassroots initiatives and their impact on the 00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:32.919 adoption of Bitcoin by nation states. It's fascinating 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.360 to see how individuals and grassroots movements 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.979 can contribute to the wider acceptance of Bitcoin 00:02:37.979 --> 00:02:41.680 on a larger scale. Every step counts on the path 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.159 to realizing that there is simply no second best 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.740 to Bitcoin. Before we wrap up, let's give credit 00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:50.319 where credit is due. The Bitcoin therapist has 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.719 been providing insightful content on Twitter. 00:02:53.210 --> 00:02:55.150 If you're looking for some thought -provoking 00:02:55.150 --> 00:02:57.789 discussions around Bitcoin, be sure to check 00:02:57.789 --> 00:03:00.310 out their page. And that's a wrap for today's 00:03:00.310 --> 00:03:02.949 show. Thanks for tuning in and remember, Bitcoin 00:03:02.949 --> 00:03:05.870 is always full of surprises. Stay curious, stay 00:03:05.870 --> 00:03:07.990 informed, and stay tuned for more updates on 00:03:07.990 --> 00:03:14.129 the world of cryptocurrency. Let's dive in. So 00:03:14.129 --> 00:03:17.289 guess what? Bitcoin just hit $30 ,000? Yeah, 00:03:17.349 --> 00:03:20.729 that's right. The price is skyrocketing coincidentally 00:03:20.729 --> 00:03:23.069 shortly after the US Federal Reserve announced 00:03:23.069 --> 00:03:25.530 a new oversight program for Bitcoin and crypto 00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:29.210 activities. Can you believe it? It's pretty exciting 00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:31.789 stuff. And that's not the only big news today. 00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:35.310 Core Scientific, a major Bitcoin mining firm, 00:03:35.509 --> 00:03:38.169 is making moves too. They've decided to exit 00:03:38.169 --> 00:03:40.330 bankruptcy proceedings with a sweet deal worth 00:03:40.330 --> 00:03:45.020 $77 million with Bitmain. Here's the deal. Bitmain 00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:47.439 will acquire a stake in Core Scientific worth 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.020 $54 million. And in return, Core Scientific will 00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:54.479 hand over 27 ,000 Ant miners. It's a win -win 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.860 situation for both parties. I have to say, this 00:03:57.860 --> 00:04:00.219 news might just be the perfect way for Gen Z 00:04:00.219 --> 00:04:02.639 to get interested in Bitcoin. I mean, who doesn't 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.039 love a juicy business deal? It's definitely an 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.960 attention grabber. But wait, there's more. In 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.229 case you missed it. Binance, one of the biggest 00:04:10.229 --> 00:04:12.490 cryptocurrency exchanges out there, has been 00:04:12.490 --> 00:04:15.509 granted not one, but two licenses in El Salvador. 00:04:16.129 --> 00:04:18.189 They got a Bitcoin services provider license 00:04:18.189 --> 00:04:20.790 as well as the first non -provisional digital 00:04:20.790 --> 00:04:23.449 asset services provider license in the country. 00:04:24.129 --> 00:04:26.209 This means that Binance is officially the first 00:04:26.209 --> 00:04:29.009 fully licensed exchange in El Salvador. Talk 00:04:29.009 --> 00:04:31.889 about making history. Now let's talk about the 00:04:31.889 --> 00:04:34.509 correlation between Bitcoin and U .S. equities. 00:04:34.610 --> 00:04:37.189 It seems like Bitcoin is breaking free and charting 00:04:37.189 --> 00:04:40.379 its own path. According to James V. Stratton, 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.819 a Twitter user with some interesting insights, 00:04:43.459 --> 00:04:46.180 Bitcoin continues to decouple from U .S. equities. 00:04:46.579 --> 00:04:50.079 You know what that means? Before 2023, Bitcoin 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.060 would have been in the red if it had been following 00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:55.980 the stock market. But it's not. Despite equities 00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:58.720 trading high for the past three months, Bitcoin 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.579 has been holding steady. It's like a breath of 00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:04.339 fresh air, really. Now, until we see what happens 00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:06.319 in the future, it's important to hold on to your 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.879 Bitcoins, or should I say HODL? And hey, while 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:10.680 you're at it, take some time to study Bitcoin 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.000 too. You never know when a little extra knowledge 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.240 might come in handy. So there you have it. That's 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.740 all the exciting news for today. Bitcoin hitting 00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:21.899 $30 ,000, CoreScientific and Bitmain striking 00:05:21.899 --> 00:05:24.600 a multi -million dollar deal, Binance becoming 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.120 El Salvador's first fully licensed exchange, 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.220 and Bitcoin taking its own path away from U .S. 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:33.259 equities. It's all happening, my friend. So buckle 00:05:33.259 --> 00:05:43.500 up and enjoy the ride. Shiba Inu whales are making 00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:46.079 waves in the cryptocurrency market, and there 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.360 could be a compelling reason behind their actions. 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.839 The accumulation of trillions of Shiba Inu tokens 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.500 by these whales has caught the attention of many 00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:57.180 observers. But what is driving this phenomenon? 00:05:57.860 --> 00:06:00.699 Let's dive into the world of Shiba Inu and explore 00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:03.240 this question. In the world of cryptocurrencies, 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.399 whales are individuals or entities that hold 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.089 a significant amount of a particular token. They 00:06:09.089 --> 00:06:11.490 have the power to sway the market with their 00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:14.350 buying or selling activities. The accumulation 00:06:14.350 --> 00:06:17.370 of Shiba Inu tokens by whales suggests a high 00:06:17.370 --> 00:06:19.730 level of interest and potential confidence in 00:06:19.730 --> 00:06:22.990 the future of this cryptocurrency. Shiba Inu, 00:06:23.129 --> 00:06:26.050 often referred to as the Dogecoin killer, has 00:06:26.050 --> 00:06:29.449 gained popularity in recent times. It is an ERC 00:06:29.449 --> 00:06:32.870 -20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain, inspired 00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:36.319 by the Shiba Inu dog meme. Like Dogecoin, it 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:38.379 has captured the attention of many investors 00:06:38.379 --> 00:06:41.500 who see potential in its decentralized and community 00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:44.920 -driven nature. One possible reason for the accumulation 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.680 of Shiba Inu tokens by whales is the perception 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.920 of a future surge in value. The cryptocurrency 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.939 market is known for its volatility, with prices 00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:56.420 often experiencing significant fluctuations. 00:06:57.180 --> 00:06:59.300 Whales may be positioning themselves to benefit 00:06:59.300 --> 00:07:01.600 from a potential price increase in Shiba Inu 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.439 tokens. especially if there is rising demand 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.660 and adoption. Another factor driving whale accumulation 00:07:07.660 --> 00:07:09.720 could be the belief in the long -term growth 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.620 of the Shiba Inu ecosystem. In recent times, 00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:14.740 we have seen an increase in the number of projects 00:07:14.740 --> 00:07:18.240 and initiatives centered around Shiba Inu. This 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.600 growing ecosystem could potentially drive the 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.459 demand for Shiba Inu tokens and increase their 00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:27.240 value over time. Furthermore, the presence of 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.860 whales in a cryptocurrency can create a sense 00:07:29.860 --> 00:07:33.000 of stability and confidence among retail investors. 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.279 When whales hold a significant portion of a token 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.079 supply, it suggests that there are influential 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.100 individuals or entities who believe in its future 00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:44.959 potential. This belief can attract more investors 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.000 to join the ecosystem and contribute to its overall 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.139 growth. As with any cryptocurrency investment, 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.839 it's important to note that the market is highly 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.060 speculative and subject to risks. While whale 00:07:57.060 --> 00:07:59.339 accumulation may indicate positive sentiment, 00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:02.139 it doesn't guarantee future price appreciation. 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.980 Investors should conduct their own research and 00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:07.319 consider their risk tolerance before making any 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.879 investment decisions. Moving on to Ethereum, 00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:13.120 the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, 00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:15.839 it has recently achieved a significant milestone. 00:08:16.459 --> 00:08:18.740 The number of non -zero addresses holding Ethereum 00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:21.829 has surpassed 100 million. This doubling in the 00:08:21.829 --> 00:08:24.430 number of addresses between 2021 and now is a 00:08:24.430 --> 00:08:26.389 testament to the growing interest and adoption 00:08:26.389 --> 00:08:29.829 of Ethereum. Ethereum, known for its smart contract 00:08:29.829 --> 00:08:32.990 capabilities, has become the foundation for numerous 00:08:32.990 --> 00:08:36.529 decentralized applications, DApps, and decentralized 00:08:36.529 --> 00:08:40.379 finance, DeFi projects. The increase in non -zero 00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:42.720 addresses suggests that Ethereum is attracting 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.340 more users and developers who are utilizing its 00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:47.980 network for various purposes. This milestone 00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:50.419 is significant because it showcases the widespread 00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:54.039 participation in the Ethereum ecosystem. It indicates 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.759 that Ethereum is not solely held by a few whales, 00:08:57.100 --> 00:08:59.360 but is being utilized by a large and diverse 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.620 community of individuals and entities. This broad 00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:05.179 adoption strengthens the network and paves the 00:09:05.179 --> 00:09:08.120 way for further growth and innovation. However, 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.679 Ethereum is currently facing a critical test 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:15.379 at the $1 ,800 level. Over the past few weeks, 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.340 its price has been steadily dropping, approaching 00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:21.539 a crucial support level. The way the market reacts 00:09:21.539 --> 00:09:23.539 to this level will be crucial in determining 00:09:23.539 --> 00:09:26.759 the price action in the coming weeks. Technical 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.279 analysis suggests that the daily chart for Ethereum 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.940 shows a gradual decline in price. This downtrend, 00:09:32.940 --> 00:09:35.820 if it continues, could challenge the $1 ,800 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:39.120 support level. A break below this level could 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.940 signal further bearish sentiment and potentially 00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:45.100 push the price down even further. On the flip 00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:48.360 side, if Ethereum manages to hold above the $1 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.500 .8k support and reverse the downtrend, it could 00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:55.259 regain bullish momentum. The market's reaction 00:09:55.259 --> 00:09:57.399 to this make or break level will provide valuable 00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.559 insights into the short -term future of Ethereum. 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.320 While Ethereum is experiencing its own challenges, 00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:05.980 Cardano, ADA, is seeing heavy accumulation by 00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:08.659 whales. the growing ecosystem and activity in 00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:11.639 the decentralized finance DeFi space on the Cardano 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.059 network are driving this accumulation. Cardano, 00:10:15.299 --> 00:10:18.139 known for its emphasis on security, scalability, 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.080 and sustainability, has been making significant 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.539 progress in its development. With the recent 00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:26.000 launch of smart contract capabilities on its 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.779 blockchain, Cardano is attracting developers 00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:31.820 and projects aiming to leverage its network for 00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:34.480 decentralized applications. The accumulation 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.820 of ADA by whales suggests confidence in the potential 00:10:37.820 --> 00:10:40.379 of Cardano to become a prominent player in the 00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:43.179 DeFi sector. As more projects and activities 00:10:43.179 --> 00:10:46.179 emerge on the network, the demand for ADA tokens 00:10:46.179 --> 00:10:48.860 may increase, potentially driving their value 00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:51.940 higher. Shifting gears, let's talk about an interesting 00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:54.980 development at Tesla. The company's chief financial 00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:58.100 officer, CFO Kirk Horn, who was also given the 00:10:58.100 --> 00:11:01.240 playful title of Master of Coin, is resigning. 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.700 Vaibhav Taneja. Currently, the chief accounting 00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:06.799 officer, CAO, will be taking over as Tesla's 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.480 new CFO. This change in leadership may have implications 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.120 for Tesla's financial strategies and future plans. 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.299 As a key figure in Tesla's financial management, 00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:19.559 the CFO plays a crucial role in decision -making 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.639 and ensuring the company's financial health. 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.580 In the world of cryptocurrencies, the legal battle 00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:26.740 between Ripple and the U .S. Securities and Exchange 00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:30.700 Commission, SEC, continues to unfold. John Deaton, 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.740 a lawyer representing XRP holders, has expressed 00:11:33.740 --> 00:11:36.240 his confidence in the outcome of the SEC's appeal 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.519 against the recent ruling in the Ripple case. 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.019 Deaton is even willing to bet a significant amount 00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:43.759 of money on the outcome. This demonstrates his 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.379 conviction in the strength of Ripple's arguments 00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:49.080 and the potential for a favorable outcome for 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.440 the company and XRP holders. While the legal 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.600 proceedings are complex and can be protracted, 00:11:55.769 --> 00:11:59.129 they have far reaching implications for the cryptocurrency 00:11:59.129 --> 00:12:02.549 industry. The outcome of this case could set 00:12:02.549 --> 00:12:06.269 a precedent and influence the regulatory landscape 00:12:06.269 --> 00:12:09.950 for other cryptocurrencies and blockchain projects. 00:12:10.629 --> 00:12:13.590 In other news, Bitstamp, a prominent cryptocurrency 00:12:13.590 --> 00:12:16.450 exchange, has confirmed its plans for international 00:12:16.450 --> 00:12:19.269 expansion. However, rather than being up for 00:12:19.269 --> 00:12:22.129 sale, the exchange is focusing on raising funds 00:12:22.429 --> 00:12:24.970 through strategic investors to accelerate its 00:12:24.970 --> 00:12:28.629 operations. This approach highlights Bitstamp's 00:12:28.629 --> 00:12:30.730 commitment to expanding its presence in the global 00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:33.409 market and catering to the growing demand for 00:12:33.409 --> 00:12:36.429 cryptocurrencies beyond its current reach. By 00:12:36.429 --> 00:12:38.789 securing investment from strategic partners, 00:12:39.250 --> 00:12:41.809 Bitstamp aims to strengthen its position and 00:12:41.809 --> 00:12:44.129 enhance its offering to customers worldwide. 00:12:44.970 --> 00:12:47.750 Moving on, let's discuss the recent exploit of 00:12:47.750 --> 00:12:50.450 the Cypher protocol. The team behind the protocol 00:12:50.450 --> 00:12:53.669 has paused operations after an exploit resulted 00:12:53.669 --> 00:12:56.230 in the loss of a significant amount of funds. 00:12:56.889 --> 00:12:59.450 They are currently working on patching the vulnerability 00:12:59.450 --> 00:13:02.789 to prevent future breaches. The incident raises 00:13:02.789 --> 00:13:05.110 concerns about the security of decentralized 00:13:05.110 --> 00:13:07.929 protocols and the potential risks associated 00:13:07.929 --> 00:13:11.389 with their use. As the cryptocurrency ecosystem 00:13:11.389 --> 00:13:14.389 continues to develop, security measures become 00:13:14.389 --> 00:13:17.029 increasingly important to safeguard users' funds 00:13:17.370 --> 00:13:21.090 and trust in the system. Switching gears to cybersecurity, 00:13:21.610 --> 00:13:23.990 a recent report reveals the efforts made by the 00:13:23.990 --> 00:13:26.490 Lazarus Group to penetrate the coins paid systems. 00:13:27.070 --> 00:13:29.110 The hacking group spent six months attempting 00:13:29.110 --> 00:13:31.629 to find weaknesses in the systems to facilitate 00:13:31.629 --> 00:13:35.450 money laundering using stolen funds. Coins Paid, 00:13:35.830 --> 00:13:38.250 a payment provider specializing in cryptocurrency 00:13:38.250 --> 00:13:41.490 transactions, recognized the importance of blockchain 00:13:41.490 --> 00:13:45.090 scoring in combating money laundering. Unfortunately, 00:13:45.419 --> 00:13:47.740 the effectiveness of their scoring system was 00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:49.840 found to be lacking in this specific instance. 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.840 This highlights the ongoing challenges faced 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:55.820 by cryptocurrency platforms in protecting user 00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:58.919 assets and preventing illicit activities. On 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.419 the topic of adoption, Circle's CEO Jeremy Allaire 00:14:02.419 --> 00:14:05.919 estimates that the majority of adoption for USDC, 00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:09.080 a popular stablecoin, originates from beyond 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.240 US borders. This observation reflects the growing 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.019 trend of international markets embracing cryptocurrencies, 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.820 particularly stablecoins, for various purposes 00:14:18.820 --> 00:14:22.639 such as remittances and digital payments. Circle's 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.120 focus on expanding its presence in international 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.440 markets aligns with this trend. By catering to 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.820 the needs of users outside the United States, 00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:33.740 Circle aims to facilitate the adoption of digital 00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:36.340 currencies and drive their integration into global 00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:39.519 financial systems. Switching gears to traditional 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.960 finance, Moody's, a leading credit rating agency, 00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:45.980 is considering downgrades for top U .S. banks. 00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:49.360 The agency highlights funding risks and warns 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.779 of weaker profits for these banks along with 00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:53.779 reduced availability of credit for commercial 00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:57.120 real estate, CRE. This assessment underscores 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.179 the challenges faced by traditional banks as 00:14:59.179 --> 00:15:01.600 they navigate an evolving economic landscape. 00:15:02.090 --> 00:15:04.590 The rise of cryptocurrencies and digital finance 00:15:04.590 --> 00:15:07.289 disrupts traditional banking models and presents 00:15:07.289 --> 00:15:09.629 both risks and opportunities for the financial 00:15:09.629 --> 00:15:13.230 industry. In regulatory news, blockchain .com, 00:15:13.370 --> 00:15:16.509 a popular cryptocurrency wallet provider, has 00:15:16.509 --> 00:15:19.669 obtained regulatory approval in Singapore. This 00:15:19.669 --> 00:15:22.789 new license allows blockchain .com to offer digital 00:15:22.789 --> 00:15:25.750 token payment services to institutional and accredited 00:15:25.750 --> 00:15:28.820 investors in Singapore. Singapore, known for 00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:30.899 its crypto -friendly regulatory environment, 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:34.019 attracts businesses in the blockchain and cryptocurrency 00:15:34.019 --> 00:15:36.860 space. Obtaining regulatory approval in this 00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:40.340 jurisdiction positions blockchain .com to serve 00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:43.360 a broader range of customers and expand its services 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.480 to institutional players. Shifting our focus 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.269 back to cryptocurrency movements, Let's talk 00:15:49.269 --> 00:15:52.169 about the recent price surge of Pepecoin. In 00:15:52.169 --> 00:15:55.190 the past 24 hours, Pepecoin has skyrocketed by 00:15:55.190 --> 00:15:58.330 over 8%. This significant increase in price has 00:15:58.330 --> 00:16:00.690 caught the attention of many investors, leading 00:16:00.690 --> 00:16:02.929 to speculation about the cause behind this rally. 00:16:03.669 --> 00:16:06.090 One possibility is the influence of a whale who 00:16:06.090 --> 00:16:09.929 has bought almost 1 trillion Pepecoin. Whales 00:16:09.929 --> 00:16:12.570 with their large holdings have the ability to 00:16:12.570 --> 00:16:14.870 impact the price of a token through their buying 00:16:14.870 --> 00:16:17.730 or selling activities. the presence of a whale 00:16:17.730 --> 00:16:20.769 accumulating Pepe coin in this case could be 00:16:20.769 --> 00:16:23.809 contributing to the surge in price. Investors 00:16:23.809 --> 00:16:26.110 and traders in the cryptocurrency market closely 00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:28.730 monitor whale activities as they can provide 00:16:28.730 --> 00:16:31.509 insights into potential price movements. However, 00:16:31.710 --> 00:16:33.610 it's important to approach these observations 00:16:33.610 --> 00:16:36.690 with caution and consider other factors that 00:16:36.690 --> 00:16:39.529 may be driving the market as well. On a related 00:16:39.529 --> 00:16:42.230 note, Bitstamp, the cryptocurrency exchange we 00:16:42.230 --> 00:16:45.230 discussed earlier, has made the decision to delist 00:16:45.230 --> 00:16:48.730 several major tokens, including SOL, Sand, and 00:16:48.730 --> 00:16:51.629 Matic. This move comes as the exchange continues 00:16:51.629 --> 00:16:54.669 to evaluate its listing offerings and refocus 00:16:54.669 --> 00:16:58.250 its services. Cryptocurrency exchanges regularly 00:16:58.250 --> 00:17:00.710 review their listings to ensure compliance with 00:17:00.710 --> 00:17:03.309 regulations and maintain the quality of assets 00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:06.750 available for trading. Delisting tokens can have 00:17:06.750 --> 00:17:09.869 various implications, including reducing liquidity 00:17:09.869 --> 00:17:13.250 and trading opportunities for those tokens. To 00:17:13.250 --> 00:17:16.170 wrap up, let's discuss the recent price analysis 00:17:16.170 --> 00:17:20.329 of PepeCoin. In the past two days, PepeCoin has 00:17:20.329 --> 00:17:23.089 shown a bullish trend which could signal the 00:17:23.089 --> 00:17:25.509 beginning of a significant rally. Key support 00:17:25.509 --> 00:17:30.980 levels to watch are 0 .00000105 dollars, while 00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:36.460 key resistance levels are set at $0 .00000123. 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.579 Technical analysis suggests that Pepe coin has 00:17:39.579 --> 00:17:42.160 broken out of a falling wedge pattern, which 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.480 is generally considered a bullish signal. The 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:50.180 resistance at $0 .0000012 could turn into support 00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:52.839 if the price manages to hold above it, further 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.880 supporting the bullish case. As with any price 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.500 analysis, it's important to consider other factors 00:17:58.500 --> 00:18:01.200 that may influence the market. such as overall 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.980 market sentiment and broader trends in the cryptocurrency 00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:06.920 industry. This analysis can serve as a starting 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:09.079 point for further research and assessment of 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:11.279 PepeCoin's potential future price movements. 00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:13.839 And that concludes our discussion of the recent 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.799 developments in the cryptocurrency space. From 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.700 Shiba Inu whales accumulating tokens to regulatory 00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:22.700 approvals and price analyses, the crypto market 00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:25.140 continues to evolve and provide opportunities 00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:28.299 for investors and enthusiasts alike. Stay tuned 00:18:28.299 --> 00:18:31.140 for more updates on the exciting world of cryptocurrencies. 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.160 Hey there! Today we have some interesting news 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.460 from the world of cryptocurrency and technology. 00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:42.339 Bitcoin has been making quite the splash recently, 00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:46.299 as it topped $1 .30k in value. However, it wasn't 00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:48.920 able to maintain that level for long. On the 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.220 other hand, Shiba Inu, Shibi, has been soaring, 00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:55.519 with almost a 10 % increase daily. Let's dive 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.089 deeper into these stories. Bitcoin had a moment 00:18:58.089 --> 00:19:00.210 of glory when its price briefly surpassed the 00:19:00.210 --> 00:19:03.230 $1 .30k mark. However, it quickly went back down. 00:19:03.690 --> 00:19:06.410 The surge in price led to over $80 million in 00:19:06.410 --> 00:19:09.309 liquidations. In fact, Bitcoin trades accounted 00:19:09.309 --> 00:19:11.849 for more than 50 % of the total liquidations. 00:19:12.309 --> 00:19:14.289 That's quite a significant number, showing just 00:19:14.289 --> 00:19:16.769 how influential Bitcoin is in the crypto market. 00:19:17.349 --> 00:19:20.250 Now let's talk about Shiba Inu. In the past 24 00:19:20.250 --> 00:19:23.569 hours, Shiba Inu exploded by 10%, following a 00:19:23.569 --> 00:19:26.519 broader market upswing. This significant increase 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:28.579 might make you wonder if there's more to it than 00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:31.740 just market trends. Is there another reason behind 00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:34.559 this rally? Well, it's hard to say for sure, 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.380 but there could be some interesting factors at 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:40.839 play. Moving on to regulatory news, the Federal 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.680 Reserve recently launched a new program. This 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.160 program aims to oversee the crypto activities 00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.059 of banks. The U .S. Central Bank has provided 00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:51.920 additional information on what it calls novel 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.519 activities in the banks it oversees. It's interesting 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.960 to see how regulators are stepping up their efforts 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.099 to monitor and manage the fast -growing crypto 00:20:01.099 --> 00:20:04.359 industry. Now, let's shift gears and talk about 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:06.920 future predictions. There's a lot of speculation 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.799 surrounding the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.640 traded fund, ETF. According to Mike Novogratz, 00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:16.619 who has contacts at Invesco and BlackRock, the 00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:19.799 approval of a spot BTC ETF could be just four 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:22.450 to six months away. If this happens, it could 00:20:22.450 --> 00:20:24.650 have a significant impact on the crypto market 00:20:24.650 --> 00:20:27.890 and open up new investment opportunities. In 00:20:27.890 --> 00:20:29.990 other news, even the Pope is feeling a bit nervous 00:20:29.990 --> 00:20:32.650 about artificial intelligence. A message was 00:20:32.650 --> 00:20:35.150 released as a prelude to an upcoming homily titled 00:20:35.150 --> 00:20:38.029 Artificial Intelligence and Peace for World Peace 00:20:38.029 --> 00:20:41.890 Day on September 21st. It seems that AI is making 00:20:41.890 --> 00:20:44.430 its way into various aspects of our lives, including 00:20:44.430 --> 00:20:46.789 religion. It will be interesting to see what 00:20:46.789 --> 00:20:49.529 the Pope has to say on this topic. Now, let's 00:20:49.529 --> 00:20:52.329 shift our attention to some legal matters. Elon 00:20:52.329 --> 00:20:55.569 Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is facing a Dogecoin 00:20:55.569 --> 00:20:59.269 insider trading class action lawsuit. His attorneys 00:20:59.269 --> 00:21:01.970 recently filed a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed. 00:21:02.609 --> 00:21:05.769 It seems that Musk's silly Dogecoin tweets are 00:21:05.769 --> 00:21:08.369 causing quite a stir in the legal world.
