    Bitcoin and Ethereum Dip 7% as Crypto Markets Cool

    Bitcoin fell below $41,000 and Ethereum below $2,200 on Monday as crypto markets took a dive after having rallied for the better part of two months. Bitcoin is currently trading at $40,758, down 7% in the past day. This is after the market already saw $330 million in crypto futures contracts liquidated on Monday morning as BTC fell below $43,000. Total liquidations have now reached $516 million, according to CoinGlass. Still, the 1-day dip is relative. It's still 5% higher than it was at the sta...

    Decrypt's 2023 Person of the Year: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink

    No topic has done more to bring hope to the crypto faithful in 2023 than the prospect of a spot Bitcoin ETF—and no one person has done more to make that dream a reality than BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. A Bitcoin ETF, which could open the floodgates for billions worth of institutional assets to flow into the market, has eluded crypto investors for more than a decade. It’s been the most highly anticipated event in crypto since Decrypt was founded in 2018. But following rejection after rejection from...

    SEC Is Talking to Bitcoin ETF Contenders—Here’s What It's Likely Saying

    The Securities and Exchange Commission appears to be having fruitful discussions with spot Bitcoin ETF applicants. In late November, both crypto asset manager Grayscale and Wall Street titan Blackrock confirmed having meetings with the SEC to discuss their respective Bitcoin ETF applications. Both firms have since submitted amendments to their applications in the form of S-1 filings. And though these amendments aren’t quite the same as having a transcript of those meetings, they do provide some...

    Grayscale: Bitcoin ETF Approval Is a 'Matter of When, Not If'

    Digital asset manager Grayscale continues to say it's just a matter of time before a Bitcoin ETF is finally approved. That includes the possibility that the digital asset manager will get approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)—currently an open-ended trust available on the OTCQX Market—into a spot Bitcoin ETF. If converted to an ETF, the firm is aiming to have the fund listed on the NYSE Arca exchange. And to that end, the firm ask...

    Bitcoin ETF Approval Window Opens Soon—Here Are the Dates to Watch

    As Bitcoin ETF decision deadlines loom, there's growing interest in figuring out when, exactly, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will make its announcement. There's a handful of spot Bitcoin ETF applications pending with the regulator. The SEC missed another window for a decision, choosing instead to extend all of its deadlines. But but there's also been word that the SEC has met with Grayscale and BlackRock in the interim to discuss amendments to their applications. To be clear, the...

    Coinbase Law Enforcement Requests Have Tripled in Just Three Years

    Crypto exchange Coinbase received three times as many law enforcement requests this year as it did in 2020, according to its new transparency report. Nearly half of those requests came from the United States. Germany accounted for another 15% of the 13,079 requests for information, followed by the United Kingdom and Spain. Almost all of the requests, 96% of them, were related to criminal investigations. The remainder had to do with civil or administrative matters. “Where necessary, we will seek...

    Another Bitcoin ETF Hopeful Enters the Race

    Swiss digital asset manager Pando Asset AG today filed an application with the SEC to offer a spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. The Pando Asset Spot Bitcoin Trust would offer investors shares backed by Bitcoin with Bank of New York Mellon as the administrator and Coinbase Custody as the fund's custodian. A genuine Bitcoin ETF, one that directly tracks BTC and not just derivatives, has so far eluded U.S. investors. But the idea is this: shares in a Bitcoin ETF would gain and lose value as Bitcoin's pr...

    Coinbase Stock Is Soaring—What Does That Mean for Crypto?

    There’s been no better time this year to take profits on Coinbase shares. As of this writing, COIN shares—which trade on the Nasdaq—are sitting at $128.46. That’s the highest Coinbase has seen its shares trading all year, beating the previous high of $110.15 the company set in July after a ruling in favor of Ripple spurred optimism that Coinbase would be successful in its own SEC lawsuit. The current highs also bring the San Francisco-based crypto exchange’s shares level with prices it last saw...

    Former Binance CEO CZ Can’t Leave US Until Court Decides If He’s a Flight Risk

    Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, former CEO of crypto exchange Binance, must stay in the United States for now, a federal judge ruled Monday. This comes after Zhao pleaded guilty last week to violating the Bank Secrecy Act. The decision puts on hold an earlier ruling that would have allowed Zhao to return to his family in the United Arab Emirates while awaiting sentencing in February 2024. Prosecutors argued Zhao poses a flight risk, given his wealth and the lack of an extradition treaty with the UAE. Last...

    Binance Moved $3.9B in Tether From Cold Wallet Days Ahead of DOJ Settlement

    Crypto exchange Binance and its CEO pleading guilty to money laundering charges sheds new light on why the company may have been moving billions worth of stablecoins in the weeks before the settlement was finalized. A $3.9 billion Tether (USDT) transaction, completed on November 9, is uncannily close in value to the $4.3 billion penalty that Binance agreed to pay as part of its settlement. Most of the money moved out of one Binance cold wallet (Binance-Cold 2) into another of its wallets (Binanc...

    Binance Must 'Completely Exit' From US as It Settles Years-Long Criminal Investigation

    Binance will exit the U.S. market and pay $4.3 billion—one of the largest corporate penalties in U.S. history—to settle anti-money laundering and sanctions violations, the Department of Justice today said. The exit and penalty are the result of a years-long criminal investigation into the company and its leadership. CEO Changpeng Zhao has also stepped down after pleading guilty to anti-money laundering violations and agreed to pay a separate $50 million fine. The settlement also prohibits Zhao f...
