📈 We are going down.
Volatility in the market continues to amaze - it is not. The main negative from the Fed's rhetoric is already in the price. The head of FTX is in prison, and loud statements are unlikely to be made before NG.
On Saturday, the OKX exchange stopped its work. The cause was said to be a server failure. The work has been restored. Against this background, Elon Musk unsubscribed from the exchange's Twitter account (OKX was the only crypto exchange in Musk's subscriptions).

🤖 FTX systems gave Alameda a secret advantage in transaction speed - CFTC statement
According to the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Alameda Research had a secret speed advantage when executing orders on the FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
Alameda was able to bypass parts of the exchange's trading architecture and bypass some of its automated verification processes, the CFTC said in a complaint filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan.
"These benefits were not publicly disclosed" and provided a "significant speed advantage," the CFTC said.
"Alameda's trade orders arrived a few milliseconds faster than orders from other API users," the CFTC said.
In the high-frequency trading sector, this is a significant time advantage.
Looking forward to the second part of the film Operation Hummingbird?

⛵️In 2022, the creators of OpenSea earned a fee of $1 billion
This year, the NFT industry has been debating endlessly on royalties, whether they should be paid, and who should provide them. This is not surprising given how much is at stake in terms of royalties.
According to Shiva Rajaraman, VP of Product at OpenSea, in 2022 alone, creators in the popular market have earned around $1 billion in royalties. This was based on data recorded between January 1 and November 23, 2022.
This revelation was made in a recent blog post that details how royalties have unfolded this year. For example, about 80% of this amount comes from NFTs that are not in the top 10 collections, highlighting the importance of royalties for smaller contributors.

🇺🇸 Squeeze of the US Federal Reserve meeting
Of course, they moderately raised the rate, but their mood is aggressive and does not smell of easing in the near future - they will increase their impact and, according to Powell, the peak will be higher than previously predicted ‼️
A few quotes:
- Our target is 2% inflation
- We still have a lot to do
- We do not focus on short-term changes in financial conditions
- The emphasis is not on short-term changes in financial conditions, but on permanent changes
- the point is to keep rates at their peak until we are really confident that inflation will come down in a sustainable way

But, if inflation slowdown expectations are justified, then Jerome Powell's speech is likely to be soft, which will have a beneficial effect on the markets.
And when Changpeng Zhao #CZ convinces everyone that FUD around him and #Binance is a dummy, and everything is fine with them, this can become a real impetus for a significant growth of the entire market

📈 Stable. Crypt in the morning
All of yesterday's daily gains were thrown into disarray after the Fed entered the scene. However, the rigidity of the forecasts did not hit the market, which is so dependent on monetary policy, much.
Now the market is still considering the potential risks of Binance insolvency. Billions of dollars are withdrawn from the exchange every day, and this is a great stress test. If Binance passes this test, the credibility of its products will instantly increase.
Against this background, #BNB (a token that allows profitable trading on the stock exchange), #BUSD (one of the main stablecoins in the world) and #TWT (the token of their non-custodial wallet) will sparkle with new colors. After all, the use of each of these tokens and products in general is based on trust, and there is little of it in the industry now.

🚀 Is the #SHIB U-turn nearby? Token started burning again
The last few months have not been the best period for Shiba Inu. Much of the problem was related to the decline in flaring, which contributed to the recovery of #SHIB in the market.
Fortunately, the situation is finally changing. The volume of incineration in the network has increased dramatically.
The latest data shows that the number of SHIB burned has risen by 910% in the last 24 hours, one of the highest numbers in the past few weeks.
The main burn address took more than 5 million tokens out of circulation on the network, the largest contribution to the number of Shiba Inu burned in the last 24 hours.
Unfortunately, the huge percentage spike in flaring did not have a corresponding effect on the market. Shiba Inu is constantly moving below the local resistance level reflected on the 21-day moving average.
U.Today analysts attribute this to the outflow of investors and traders from the market, due to the protracted crypto winter.
