💰 Bitcoin price could potentially rise above $50,000 in early 2024: CryptoQuant

A CryptoQuant report predicted Bitcoin could potentially exceed $50,000 early in 2024, from its current price of $43,000. The prediction is based on analyzing Bitcoin’s user activity, using the Metcalfe price valuation band metric, considering factors like market capitalization, transaction volume, and user activity. The report suggested Bitcoin’s target price range could be $50,000 to $53,000 early next year.

"Bitcoin may be targeting $50,000 to $53,000 based on the network activity valuation perspective," CryptoQuant analysts said. CryptoQuant analysts noted that Bitcoin’s supply in profit is above 88%, and sell pressure may be increasing as a significant portion of circulating supply is in profit. The report, therefore, cautioned of potential short-term corrections, noting that high levels of circulating supply in profit often align with local market tops. The report referenced the “bitcoin bull-bear market cycle indicator,” indicating a current bull market but nearing an “overheated bull phase” which historically aligns with price rally pauses or corrections.

📊 Crypto mining firm Phoenix rises 50% on first day of trading after $370 million IPO

Crypto mining and blockchain technology firm Phoenix Group saw its shares soar by around 50% on its Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) debut today, following an initial public offering (IPO) that raised $370 million. Phoenix (PHX) rose to 2.20 United Arab Emirates dirhams ($0.60) in early trading, up from an IPO price of 1.50 dirhams ($0.41), before falling back. PHX is currently priced at 2.02 dirhams, according to TradingView data.

Phoenix’s IPO marks the first public listing of a crypto-related company in the Middle East and was 33 times oversubscribed, according to the firm — some $12 billion worth of orders. Phoenix made 907,323,529 shares available at 1.50 dirhams per share (a 17.6% stake of the company's share capital), with particular interest from retail investors, who oversubscribed by 180 times. Professional investors oversubscribed by 22 times. The company’s post-IPO valuation is estimated at approximately $2.5 billion. The listing was moved back a day after the UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation marked Dec. 2 to Dec. 4 as public holidays for the private sector.

💰 Ripple's CLO Says SEC Is Anything But Infallible — Advises 'Don't Be Intimidated When They Come Knocking'

Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, slammed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on social media platform X on Thursday. Quoting an article published in the Wall Street Journal stating that the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled against the SEC in recent years, Alderoty stressed that the securities regulator is “anything but infallible,” noting that the agency is “bloated, broken, and beleaguered.”

Commenting on Alderoty’s statement, lawyer John Deaton shared: “I remember when I sued the SEC and some people said: ‘You’re crazy.’ Why? The SEC is only good at one thing: intimidating people because they have the unlimited resources of the American taxpayer. And some people also get intimidated because maybe fighting the SEC will mean the SEC calls the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] on you as well. This country was born fighting against government oppression and intrusion. It is most American to fight back!”. The securities regulator recently lost several legal cases against crypto firms. Last month, Alderoty highlighted three consecutive wins for Ripple Labs against the SEC, including the July 13 decision ruling that as a matter of law XRP is not a security.

💰 Celsius starts to open crypto withdrawals for holders of some claims

Celsius, a crypto lender that filed for bankruptcy last summer, is starting to open withdrawals to some users. Customers of the Custody Program, who are holders of "Class 6A General Custody Claims' and/or Class 6B Withdrawable Custody Claims," can start withdrawing their funds from the platform "on or around" Nov. 29, according to a court document. They have until Feb. 28 to make the transactions.

Qualifying users will be able to withdraw 72.5% of their crypto, minus transaction fees, if they didn't previously participate in a custody settlement. Customers who voted to reject the reorganization plan will not participate in this distribution, and their funds will be pooled in a segregated wallet and managed by the Litigation Administrator over the following six months, the document says. Some users have already tried to withdraw and complained they had trouble logging in, according to posts on X. Around 58,300 users hold what the court classified as "custody assets" worth about $210 million, according to a September court filing.

Cosmos-based Layer 1 dYdX Chain has begun distributing DYDX +
rewards accrued from trading activities to users, following the commencement of full trading on the decentralized derivatives trading protocol, which was greenlit by a decisive governance vote. The beta mainnet of dYdX Chain was launched on November 14, initiating "active trading" across more than 33 markets with leverage of up to 20x. During the beta phase, although staking rewards were active.

Since the launch of the beta stage two weeks ago, the protocol has seen over $1.86 million in total trades across roughly 14,000 transactions, as reported by the dYdX Operations subDAO, which manages the decentralized infrastructure of the dYdX Chain. Initially, just four markets are available for full trading: BTC/USD, ETH/USD, SOL/USD and LINK/USD, with more markets to be added over the coming weeks, the dYdX Operations subDAO said. The alpha mainnet for dYdX version 4, along with the debut of its Cosmos-based blockchain, was launched on Oct. 26, signaling a notable transition for the leading decentralized derivatives platform to become a standalone Layer 1 on Cosmos after previously relying on Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution StarkEx in version 3.

🟠 Binance Founder Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao Isn't a Flight Risk, His Attorneys Say

Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao poses "no risk of flight" and should be allowed to return to the United Arab Emirates for now, a Thursday filing said. The partially redacted document pushed back against a U.S. Department of Justice filing, arguing that Zhao should not be allowed to leave the U.S. ahead of his February sentencing after pleading guilty to one charge of violating the Bank Secrecy Act. Zhao has already demonstrated he won't be a flight risk by the very fact that he came to the U.S. to enter that plea.

"Based on all the relevant facts, including Mr. Zhao’s voluntary self-surrender, his intent to resolve this case, and the sizable bail package he proposed, Judge Tsuchida found that Mr. Zhao presents no risk of flight, even while residing in the UAE," the filing said. Binance pleaded guilty to multiple charges alongside Zhao earlier this week, agreeing to pay a massive $4.3 billion fine, appoint monitors to oversee its compliance program and review its past transactions and accept Zhao's resignation as CEO. Former Binance regional markets head Richard Teng has taken over as CEO. Still, his attorneys and the DOJ have been arguing over whether he can return to the UAE, where he is a citizen and where his family lives, or if he must stay in the U.S. If Zhao returns to the UAE.

🏦 Kraken co-founder says crypto ‘more fair’ after historic Binance settlement

Crypto exchange Kraken is “playing the long game” even as “new threats to the industry's reputation continue to emerge,” its co-founder said today — hot on the heels of the U.S. Department of Justice's historic criminal settlement with Binance and just days after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a fresh lawsuit against Kraken itself. In a post on X, Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell said the game “feels a bit more fair today” in reference to the Binance settlement.

“The last 12 months have answered 2 nagging questions from shareholders: 1. How are they going so fast? 2. How are they getting away with it?” Powell wrote. “It's hard to keep faith while your market share dwindles and the only enforcement that's happening is against the good guys.” Powell added that new threats to the industry's reputation continue to emerge. “Each dodgy operation represents an opportunity for governments to scapegoat crypto and tighten the noose.He also brought up Coinbase and Ripple in his post, saying that Kraken and these firms were all the SEC’s “easy targets” sitting right in their backyard.

🟣 Kraken says products remain unaffected amid SEC’s new ‘disastrous’ lawsuit

Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken says its operations are not impacted after the U.S. securities watchdog filed an “incorrect” and “disastrous” lawsuit against the firm on Monday. Kraken’s comments follow the filing of a lawsuit by the Securities and Exchange Commission against the firm's parent companies, Payward and Payward Ventures. In its blog post, Kraken said that the lawsuit has no impact on its products and that it remains “fully committed to our U.S. and global clients and partners.”

The suit follows similar actions against Coinbase and Binance, which the SEC alleges operate unregulated securities exchanges. Separately, the U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly seeking over $4 billion from Binance as part of a deal that could end an ongoing investigation, according to a Bloomberg report on Monday. Specifically, the crypto exchange pointed out that the SEC’s argument that its products were investment contracts was “incorrect as a matter of law, false as a matter of fact, and disastrous as a matter of policy.”, In the lawsuit, the SEC argued that Kraken has at times held customer crypto assets valued at more than $33 billions.

💰 Fake filing for BlackRock XRP Trust caused brief price spike

A fake filing that was designed to look like BlackRock was setting the stage for an XRP ETF caused a temporary pump in the price of XRP. The filing was submitted to the Delaware Divisions of Corporations and published on its website. It contained details matching similar BlackRock filings, including the name and address of its registered agent. It was similar to previous filings for bitcoin and ether, but naming XRP. This means BlackRock is not currently preparing to launch a spot XRP ETF.

The price of XRP rallied briefly on the fake news of a potential Blackrock XRP ETF on Monday.The firm denied the authenticity of the Delaware entity filing that caused a fuss. Yet a BlackRock spokesperson confirmed to The Block that the filing has no relation to the asset manager. This means BlackRock is not currently preparing to launch a spot XRP ETF. The filing, first spotted by users on X, was followed by a 12% hike in the price of XRP over the next 30 minutes after the first posts. It was similar to previous filings for bitcoin and ether, but naming XRP. Once it was reported that the filing was fake, the price returned closer to the previous level of 66 cents per token, according to Coingecko.

💰 Bitcoin Fees Climb 150% in 3 Days as Block Space Grows More Expensive

The demand for space in Bitcoin’s ledger has witnessed a sharp rise, compelling miners to face a daunting 429 megabytes of data backlog, equivalent to approximately 229 blocks. At block height 815,999, there is a logjam of around 201,646 transactions awaiting confirmation by miners. Only three days ago, the fee to expedite a transaction with high priority was pegged at $3.38; since then, it has soared over 150% to its present price of $8.46 per transaction. This is in the wake of a staggering 4,000% hike in BTC fees the previous month.

Archived data from mempool.space shows that sending a bitcoin transaction without priority costs $0.74, while a low-priority transaction comes with a $6.51 fee. Medium priority transactions stand at approximately $7.56 as of Thursday. Bitinfocharts.com reports that the average bitcoin transaction fee is 0.00019 BTC, or $7.17, with the median fee at 0.00011 BTC, or $4.34 per transaction. The spike in costs for block space can be attributed to the recent surge in bitcoin’s value, which approached $38,000 around 9:50 a.m. Eastern Time on November 9. contribute to the growing backlog and the escalating fee market

👀 FTT rallies over 80% after Gary Gensler's nod to possible FTX reboot

The token associated with the defunct FTX cryptocurrency exchange has experienced a price surge of over 80% in the past 24 hours. The rally comes after U.S. Securities Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler hinted that he would be open to a rebooted FTX — as long as its done "within the law." FTT is now changing hands for $2.27, gaining over 80% in the past 24 hours, as of 6.55 a.m. ET, according to CoinGecko.

The news comes after it was reported that Gensler said FTX could be revived under new leadership. According to CNBC on Wednesday the SEC Chair gave his views on reports that Tom Farley, a former president of the New York Stock Exchange, is among a short list of bidders attempting to buy the bankrupt FTX exchange. "If Tom or anybody else wanted to be in this field, I would say, 'Do it within the law,'" Gensler said at DC Fintech Week. "Build the trust of investors in what you’re doing and ensure that you’re doing the proper disclosures, and also that you’re not commingling all these functions, trading against your customers. Or using their crypto assets for your own purposes," Gensler added.

Representative French Hill, vice-chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and chair of the Digital Assets Subcommittee, outlined the committee’s plans regarding crypto regulation for next year.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) the necessary tools to exert oversight over the cryptocurrency market.

Hill blasted the lack of action from the SEC on the FTX case, criticizing SEC Chair Gary Gensler for not working with Congress in issuing a regulatory framework with a legislative background as was recommended in a Biden Administration executive order signed last year. According to Politico, House Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry is in conversations for these two crypto bills to be included as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). However, if this is not achieved, the committee intends to bring them to the floor before the end of this year. “I think it’s something that will benefit institutional and individual investors,” he concluded.

🇦🇪 Paxos expands to Abu Dhabi with two new in-principle approvals

Crypto firm Paxos continues its international expansion, now snagging two preliminary approvals in Abu Dhabi. Paxos has received two in-principle approvals from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in the Abu Dhabi Global Market to issue stablecoins and offer crypto brokerage and custody services, the company said Wednesday. The preliminary approvals are for two new entities of Paxos within the ADGM.

The full approvals are expected in the first half of next year, a Paxos spokesperson told The Block, adding that those will allow the company to issue new USD-backed as well as other currency-backed stablecoins from Abu Dhabi, although Paxos is currently focused on a new USD-backed stablecoin. The Abu Dhabi expansion plan comes two weeks after Paxos received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore for its new local entity that will launch a new USD-backed stablecoin in the country. Paxos was founded in 2012 and is backed by high-profile investors, including Bank of America, Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and Coinbase Ventures.

📣 KyberSwap recovers $4.7 million after exploit

Decentralized exchange protocol KyberSwap has recovered $4.67 million in funds following a recent security attack. A hacking incident resulted in a loss of $47 million from Kyber's concentrated liquidity pools last week. A portion of funds' recovery was completed yesterday through negotiations with the operators of front-running bots, which extracted about $5.7 million in crypto from KyberSwap pools on the Polygon and Avalanche networks during the hack, the team said.

The bot operators agreed to a deal in which they would return 90% of the funds they had taken to a specified KyberSwap address on the Polygon network, with a 10% bounty as their incentive. This negotiation is distinct from the main event’s hacker, who had previously indicated a willingness to negotiate. While the team offered a white hat bounty, that negotiation has seemingly not yet progressed. The hacker had targeted KyberSwap’s Elastic pools, impacting funds across multiple blockchains, including Arbitrum, Optimism, Ethereum, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain. The vulnerability exploited by the hacker was linked to an issue with the tick interval boundaries in Kyber’s concentrated liquidity pools.

The token has risen from $0.31 on Nov. 21 to its current price of $0.63 today, according to The Block's Price Page. The token's price is also up 150% over the last month. Blur’s Season 2 rewards program, designed to incentivize usage, concluded on November 21. This airdrop was aimed at rewarding those who utilized the Blur marketplace from May to November.

According to a Dune dashboard, 43,000 users have claimed 269 million tokens ($169 million) so far. This represents 87% of the total number of claimable tokens. The majority of the tokens were claimed in the first few hours of the airdrop going live. Three users claimed more than 10 million tokens ($6.3 million) each, with one of them — with the ENS name hanwe.eth — netting 22 million tokens ($13 million). A pseudonymous crypto individual known as Machi Big Brother claimed 6 million tokens ($3.8 million). Earlier today, Binance announced that it was listing Blur, with trading starting a few hours later. This corresponded to an immediate jump in the token's price.

🟠 Binance ex-CEO Changpeng Zhao says he’ll ‘deal with pain’ in internal memo

Changpeng Zhao, who stepped down as Binance’s CEO on Tuesday, said in an internal memo to staff that he will have to “deal with some pain but will survive.” “I needed a break anyway. And now I got it,” Zhao said, according to a screenshot of the letter first reported by crypto journalist Colin Wu. Two sources familiar with the matter confirmed the memo's authenticity. Binance is expected to hold a company-wide town hall meeting — at which Zhao and his successor Richard Teng are expected to speak.

Zhao pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act and stepped down as the CEO of the world’s largest crypto exchange. As part of the plea deal, Zhao agreed to pay a $50 million fine. Binance, the company, will pay a $4.3 billion fine for violating money transmission laws and U.S. sanctions. Zhao will also pay a $175 million personal recognizance bond and must agree to appear in court in Seattle on February 23 next year for sentence hearings, a court filing showed. The world’s largest crypto exchange saw a significant uptick in withdrawals today. Data from DefiLlama showed that Binance’s 24-hour outflows topped $1 billion as of 3:30 p.m. Hong Kong time on Wednesday. The exchange's net outflows over 7 days amounted to $703.1 million.

🟢 Tether Freezes $225M Linked to Human Trafficking Syndicate Amid DOJ Investigation

Stablecoin issuer Tether has frozen $225 million worth of its own stablecoin following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) into an international human trafficking syndicate in Southeast Asia. The investigation was ongoing for months and used blockchain analysis tools provided by Chainalysis. It marks the largest-ever freeze of a stablecoin, a press release said.

The crime syndicate is related to the "pig butchering" scam, which the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said cost U.S. citizens $3.3 billion last year. The frozen tokens were being held in self-custodied wallets and did not belong to Tether customers, the press release added. "Through proactive engagement with global law enforcement agencies and our commitment to transparency, Tether aims to set a new standard for safety within the crypto space,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. Tether also froze 32 crypto addresses linked to terrorism and warfare in Ukraine and Israel last month.

🚨 Stars Arena Incident Causing Community Disturbance Confirmed Not A Hack

The friend.tech clone project on Avalanche Stars Arena is once again facing security concerns following a recent incident that has caused damage to many users’ assets. The project has responded by announcing a key migration to enhance security measures. According to the project, a thorough investigation by its engineering team has found no evidence linking the recent claims of funds draining to an exploit affecting the wider platform.

The project’s response comes amidst growing concerns among users who have reported missing funds. On November 17, 2023, an account named “GiganticTip” shared on-chain data retrieval findings indicating that many users had their assets drained, with AVAX tokens being transferred through the FixedFloat mixer to obscure the hacker’s identity. Despite the project’s assurances and plans to continue development, the Stars Arena incident has further eroded users’ trust. The incident raises questions about the project’s security measures and the potential for further vulnerabilities. The upcoming key migration will be closely watched as the project seeks to regain user confidence and address ongoing security concerns. The attacker later returned the funds, keeping 10% as a bug bounty.

🪙 Paxos to issue new USD-backed stablecoin in Singapore

Crypto firm Paxos has formed a fresh entity in Singapore to launch a new USD-backed stablecoin in the country. Paxos Digital Singapore Pte. Ltd. received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Paxos said late Wednesday. The new entity will issue a USD-backed stablecoin that will comply with Singapore's recently finalized stablecoin regulatory framework before the legislative amendments take effect.

In August, MAS finalized its framework for regulating stablecoins, applicable to single-currency stablecoins pegged to the Singaporean dollar or any G10 currency, including the U.S. dollar. Crypto firms aiming to recognize their stablecoins as "MAS regulated stablecoins" must comply with the framework. "Paxos is one of only two companies, alongside StraitsX, to get this approval from MAS," a Paxos spokesperson told The Block. "We will issue a new stablecoin with all new branding. That's because it is done from Singapore." Paxos does not yet have a name or specific details for the new stablecoin, aside from it being USD-backed and issued by the firm's new Singapore entity, the spokesperson said.

💰 Grayscale's Solana Trust Trades at 869% Premium as Institutions Flock to SOL

Grayscale's Solana Trust (GSOL) is trading at a premium of 869% to its underlying assets amid a surge in institutional interest in the cryptocurrency industry, CoinGlass data shows. The trust's shares are priced at $202 following a 653% rise since the start of September, while the SOL token trebled to $58 from $19. CoinGlass shows it holds 115,900 tokens ($6.78 million) on behalf of its clients. The widening premium comes after the underlying asset, SOL, surged 20% on Friday.

Positive sentiment continues to build after FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty on seven counts of fraud earlier this month. The token was dubbed one of the "Sam Coins" before the exchange's collapse because it had invested millions into the ecosystem and built Serum, a decentralized exchange, on the Solana network. Institutional interest in crypto has experienced an uptick over the past few months, with CME, the venue that is preferred by institutions, overtaking Binance in terms of derivatives market share. The increase can be attributed to optimism around the potential approval of a spot bitcoin ETF, something that the SEC has consistently denied over the past few years.

📣 SafeMoon CEO John Karony’s bail postponed while courts assess level of flight risk

According to court documents dated Nov. 9, a judge has partially granted U.S. prosecutors’ request to counter the bail of John Karony, the CEO of crypto platform SafeMoon. A filing from New York prosecutors indicates that a Utah magistrate judge, Daphne A. Oberg, issued Karony’s release order on Nov. 8. Karony’s bail included a $500,000 bond plus conditions of house arrest and restrictions on financial activities. Prosecutors for the Eastern District of New York said the Utah judge did not consider Karony’s finances and his ability to flee.

Specifically, they said that Karony had millions of dollars of assets that the court was not aware of, including a Utah home currently being sold for $1.5 million, various expensive items, and money in an unnamed company. The Nov. 9 filing states that Karony’s release order will be stayed (paused) until the matter is resolved. That filing is signed by District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall for the Eastern District of New York, where Karony’s criminal case is proceeding. Prosecutors noted that Karony has “shown a desire to remain abroad” since working on SafeMoon. Specifically, they said that Karony took twelve trips to Europe in just over two years. Most recently, they said, Karony was outside of the U.S. for five months before returning on Oct. 27. He planned to stay in the U.S. for just weeks.

📊 KuCoin and Gate exchanges to list BRC-20 memecoin Sats

Crypto exchanges Gate and KuCoin are planning to list Sats — a memecoin based on the Ordinals BRC-20 token standard — on their platforms soon. Gate opened deposits for Sats at 4 a.m. EST earlier today. Meanwhile, KuCoin said will enable deposits, with trading estimated to start at 5 a.m. EST on Nov. 9, provided the token deposits meet the liquidity requirement, per its announcement. The trading pair SATS/USDT will be available on KuCoin, the exchange added.

Sats is a memecoin created on Bitcoin through the Ordinals protocol, named after ‘satoshis,’ the smallest unit of Bitcoin. The token is currently trading at $0.00000012 with a diluted market capitalization of $270 million. Unisat data indicates that Sats is held in 39,000 user wallets on the Bitcoin network. Memecoins constitute the majority of tokens created using the Ordinals protocol, and are designated as BRC-20 tokens. This term is named in analogy to the ERC-20 token standard on the Ethereum blockchain, although their mechanisms differ. Introduced by developer Casey Rodarmor in early 2023, the Ordinals protocol allows developers to assign a distinct identity or file onto every satoshi within the Bitcoin network, a process called inscription.

🪙 Evmos plans to deprecate Cosmos transactions, signals Ethereum alignment

The core team at Layer 1 blockchain Evmos, which facilitates the integration of Ethereum smart contracts within the Cosmos network, is planning to discontinue support for Cosmos transactions to focus exclusively on Ethereum-based transactions. This means the core network will support only Ethereum-based wallets and tools instead of those designed for Cosmos. The transition to a single transaction format is expected to streamline the development workflow and improve the efficiency of Ethereum wallets on the network.

Evmos’ team has grappled with the dual challenge of maintaining compatibility for both Cosmos and Ethereum clients, according to the team. The network currently supports distinct transaction hashes for each ecosystem, a complexity the team plans to eliminate. The strategic move to an EVM-centric transaction approach will allow the Evmos team to focus on simplification. The change is also anticipated to ease the workload for developers of wallets and blockchain explorers by removing the necessity to support two transaction formats. While Cosmos transactions cater to essential network operations like staking and governance, Ethereum transactions facilitate interactions with dApps via the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Evmos.
