🇺🇸 U.S. Regulators Do Have Some Control Over Stablecoin Tether: JPMorgan
Tether’s (USDT) dominant position as the largest stablecoin is vulnerable due to its dependence on the American market and pending regulations, JPMorgan (JPM) said in a research report Thursday. Despite Tether not being based in the U.S., regulators are able to exert some control on the stablecoin issuer’s offshore usage through the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the report said.

💰 Bitcoin whales on the rise as numbers hit three-year high as ETFs join cohort
The Bitcoin landscape has witnessed a significant uptick of Bitcoin whales—entities holding 1,000 BTC or more. Their numbers have surged in recent weeks, coinciding with Bitcoin’s rise from $38,000 to $51,000. Currently, there are 1,602 Bitcoin whales, a considerable uptick from 1,482 in January. This surge not only eclipses the March and April 2022 peak of 1,601 whales, but also marks a three-year high unseen since March 2021.

💰 Craig Wright Fails To Name Anyone He Sent Bitcoin To As “Satoshi”
The computer scientist said his memory fails him in naming one of the hundreds of supposed recipients of “Satoshi’s” Bitcoin. The seventh day of the COPA v. Wright trial kicked off on Tuesday, exposing a glaring weakness in the latter’s argument to convince the court that he is the creator of Bitcoin. When pressed by prosecutors, Craig Wright failed to name a single person outside of the public domain to whom he had sent Bitcoin under the name of Satoshi.

💰 Why This Year’s Bitcoin Halving Is “Actually Different”: Grayscale
Bitcoin ETFs, Ordinals, and a developer renaissance mean this year’s halving cycle may not play out like the last, the crypto fund claims. The upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) halving is likely a bullish development, but a slew of outside factors mean it likely won’t play out the same as in previous years, according to Grayscale. Last month, the company successfully converted its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into the world’s largest Bitcoin ETF. The introduction of such ETFs, according to Grayscale, may impact Bitcoin’s price as if it were a second halving within a single year.

💰 Lower Bitcoin miner revenue after halving will be bolstered by Ordinals fees: Grayscale
About two months from now, in mid-April 2024, Bitcoin will undergo a massive change, halving its reward for miners that successfully complete a block. Known as "halving" or "the halvening," the event is often seen as bullish for Bitcoin, as several halvings in the past have been followed by sustained increases in the price of Bitcoin. This suggests that while scarcity does sometimes influence price, other factors also play a role," the analysts wrote, citing broader macroeconomic conditions as one factor.

🏦 Coinbase unfreezes Debt Box assets amid SEC controversy
Coinbase has lifted the freeze on Debt Box’s assets after discovering discrepancies in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) representation of its case against the firm. According to Grewal, Coinbase challenged the SEC’s order because the regulator “sat silently” instead of “immediately pulling its order after admitting that it deceived the Court.” The exchange attempts to get an explanation from the authorities proved futile as it was met with “more silence.”.
