This Week on Crypto Twitter: Bitcoin Halving Anticipation to Elation—Then Back to Work

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt It was a rollercoaster week for Bitcoin and the broader crypto landscape, with most eyes fixed on the quadrennial Bitcoin halving finally executing early Saturday morning, on 4/20. Monday brought an encouraging rebound after a weekend dip. As expected, Hong Kong joined the digital asset ETF party, approving Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. Latest on HK spot Bitcoin ETFs: They have been approved to exist but not launch (yet). Rumor has it launching nex...

This Week In Crypto Twitter: Meme Coins and Base are Booming While Solana Strains

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt Degens and crypto fans were spreading good vibes at the start of the week, which closed out the prior month setting an all-time monthly high for Solana activity across decentralized exchanges (DEXs). March saw over $58 billion traded, blasting past the prior monthly high of $28.5 billion in December. Memecoins were the wind beneath Solana's wings: whimsical tokens like Dogwifhat (WIF), Bonk (BONK), Book of Meme (BOME), and Slerf (SLERF) drove signific...

This Week on Crypto Twitter: Courtroom Dramas for Coinbase, Sam Bankman-Fried

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt Legal intrigue was the theme of the week, keeping Crypto Twitter perched on the edge of its seat—booing and cheering in equal measure.  On Monday, a federal judge declined to dismiss the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) ongoing lawsuit against Coinbase, finding most of the regulator’s key arguments “plausible” and generally concurring that the SEC has jurisdiction over much of the crypto industry. Coinbase’s leadership quickly dismissed the...

This Week on Crypto Twitter: An Eye-Popping Meme Coin NFT Sale As Ethereum Legal Worries Grow

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt This week saw several surprising developments for the crypto ecosystem—some positive, some troubling.  On Monday, an Ethereum NFT of the photo that inspired the Dogwifhat meme and eventual multi-billion dollar meme coin phenomenon sold at auction—for a whopping $4.3 million worth of ETH.  Congrats, Achi! On Nov. 17, 2018, Achi's owners captured him in an endearing hat on camera. On Mar. 18, 2024, that photo, Achi, dog wif hat, became our second highe...

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt The Bitcoin spot ETF hangover has dissipated, and the tall, frothy mug of Ethereum spot ETF buzz is still being poured, leaving a lot of space at the crypto bar for talking, arguing, and the occasional brawl. We were probably overdue for an Elon Musk-related pump, and the eccentric tech mogul indirectly delivered on Monday when a new gold checkmark-toting Twitter account popped up with the username @XPayments.

This Week on Crypto Twitter: ETF Fever Won’t Break

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt ETF fever has taken over the body of crypto—and now appears to have a grip on markets and discourse so all-consuming that it likely won’t let up until the verdict is in.  This week on Crypto Twitter, already heated speculation about the eagerly anticipated financial product reached new highs, as rumors and predictions rattled both spirits and crypto prices.  The big shock to the system came Wednesday, when an ominous report from digital asset manager...

This Week on Crypto Twitter: New Dog, Old Tricks

For weeks, a dog-themed Solana meme coin relentlessly dominated Crypto Twitter discourse, with no end in sight. But it would finally appear that BONK fever has broken—thanks to… another dog-themed Solana meme coin.  Dogwifhat (WIF), an upstart meme coin depicting exactly what you’d think it would, rocked Twitter this week after climbing a ludicrous 227,000% in less than a month. WIF holders and Solana ecosystem enthusiasts giddily basked in the absurdity of the coin’s success this week, attempti...
