In a surprising turn of events, the burn rate of the meme-inspired CRYPTOCURRENCY Shiba Inu ($ SHIB ) has skyrocketed by an astonishing 940% within 24 hours. This surge in the burn rate translates to over 164 million SHIB tokens being sent to “ dead wallets ,” effectively removing them from the circulating supply . According to data obtained from the burn tracking platform Shibburn, these substantial burns took place across 50 transactions, with one particularly noteworthy transaction incinerating a staggering 100 million SHIB tokens, significantly contributing to the surge in burn rate. This surge in burn rate coincides with heightened activity in the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s layer-2 scaling solution, known as Shibarium. The network has recently witnessed a surge in transaction levels, achieving a new all-time high shortly after its reactivation. Data from Shibarium network explorer Shibariumscan reveals that the Shibarium network’s transactions have surpas...

The recent Bitmain WDMS conference featured discussions among publicly listed Bitcoin miners who challenged the prevailing sentiment that Bitcoin miners selling their rewards is bearish for the cryptocurrency. Analysts, traders, and influencers often use miner behavior as a sentiment gauge for Bitcoin’s price direction, with the belief that miners sending rewards to exchanges signals impending sell pressure and miner distress. At the conference, Jeff Taylor, the Executive Vice President of Data Center Operations at Core Scientific, shared his company’s strategy. He highlighted that Core Scientific follows a “hodl strategy,” amassing a significant Bitcoin hoard during a previous bull market. However, this approach led to financial difficulties. Consequently, they now sell their Bitcoin production daily to stabilize profitability. Taylor emphasized the importance of cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and financial innovations in a miner’s strategy...

A renowned crypto strategist has recently put Chainlink (LINK) under the microscope, suggesting potential upward momentum . Kevin Svenson, who boasts a following of 70,700 YouTube enthusiasts, believes that Chainlink might soon see the end of its prolonged downward stride. Significantly, this assumption comes after LINK surpassed a pivotal long-term marker. Svenson elaborates, “We’ve ascended above the 500-day SMA, which is the longest moving average we’ve observed. This crossover by Chainlink is telling. Typically, transcending these extensive SMAs indicates an overarching shift in dynamics.” Besides this, Svenson interprets Chainlink’s current movement as a preliminary reversal signal. Consequently, he speculates a situation where this Ethereum (ETH)-anchored altcoin retains its optimistic vigor in the imminent future, soaring towards its overarching resistance. However, Svenson remarks that LINK probably requires an extended period before genuinely adopting a ...

Péter Szilágyi, a prominent software engineer known for developing Geth, a widely used Ethereum client, has weighed in on the ongoing debate about Ethereum’s processing speed. Contrary to the belief that Geth’s dominance is the primary factor behind Ethereum’s perceived slowness, Szilágyi argues that several factors influence the platform’s performance. Geth’s Prominence in Ethereum Geth is the most popular Ethereum client , commanding over 55% of the total client market share, alongside competitors like Nethermind and Erigon. This client allows users to interact with the Ethereum network and facilitates the deployment of full nodes.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) flouted calls from four congressman to ”immediately” approve spot Bitcoin ETFs and delayed until early next year a decision on an application by ARK 21 Shares. It also deferred a decision on a Bitcoin ETF application from fund manager Global X until at least November, indicating that the regulator is also likely to delay decisions that may have been made as early as next month on applications by BlackRock, WisdomTree, Invesco Galaxy, Valkyrie, Bitwise, VanEck and Fidelity. That would be a big setback for the crypto industry, which is banking on the approval of spot crypto ETFs to boost demand and help pull prices out of a funk. There was growing optimism of an early approval after Grayscale Investments won a landmark victory over the SEC when a judge called the regulator’s decision to approve Bitcoin Futures ETS, but not spot Bitcoin ETFs, ”arbitrary and capricious.” Former SEC chair Jay Clayton says t...

The Terra Classic community has decided to halt the minting and re-minting of USTC. The Terra Classic community is taking steps to re-peg USTC to USD. Terra’s former CEO is facing legal trouble after SEC charges. Terra Classic USD (USTC) will no longer be minting or re-minted, according to a recent vote by the Terra LUNA Classic (LUNC) community. A proposal was published on September 14 that suggested the cessation of all minting and re-minting of USTC without the approval of the Terra Classic community. Moreover, the proposal suggested the elimination of “loopholes,” such as converting xUST to mint USTC. Furthermore, the Terra Classic community has voted to pay Algo Quant, an algorithmic trading firm, to re-peg USTC to USD. USTC was an algorithmic stablecoin that lost its peg to the American dollar after its $44 billion collapse in 2022. Another term on the proposal was that the Terra Classic community would participate in the burning of USTC to fac...

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci expects the launch of a Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) to act as a catalyst, driving the coin’s price higher . Scaramucci suggested that a spot Bitcoin ETF may be approved as soon as the first quarter of next year. This development could spur a bull market into action, he explains. Here’s what the former White House Communications director recently told The Wolf of All Streets’ Scott Melker: As a Wall Streeter, products on Wall Street are sold, they are not bought. And so there’s going to be tens of thousands, if not a 100,000+ people at these Wall Street firms selling these products to their traditional investors. So people that are in Bitcoin understand the finite supply of Bitcoin, understand the nature and the quality that Bitcoin has. This will push Bitcoin up and of course, it will have a dramatically positive effect on the altcoin market because it will lead to more capital into digital properties. Sk...
