Federal Reserve Leaves Interest Rates Unchanged in July 2024

Image
In a meeting that is massively important, the Federal Reserve has opted to leave interest rates unchanged at 5.25%–5.50% in July 2024. The US central bank has kept rates at its current 23-year high for more than a year. However, they are expected to begin cutting those rates in the coming months. The Fed has been consistent in its position regarding those highly anticipated cuts. It has held firm to its 2% inflation target, while adopting a wait-and-see approach to that figure coming into view. With inflation cooling and job gains slowing, those cuts are likely to happen soon.

Hamster Kombat Promises Biggest Crypto Airdrop In History, Targeting Uniswap’s Massive $6.4 Billion Record

Image
Telegram clicker game Hamster Kombat is looking to surpass Uniswap’s $6.4 billion UNI airdrop with what its team claims to be the “largest airdrop in the history of crypto.” Data from the market tracking platform CoinGecko shows that UNI’s airdrop, which took place in September 2020, still holds the title for the biggest token distribution event. The token also holds a comfortable lead over the next biggest airdrop, which belongs to Apecoin (APE) at about $3.5 billion. Hamster Kombat Breaks Records With Turbocharged User Base Growth Overtaking UNI’s airdrop will be a monumental task. However, Hamster Kombat’s team may be up for the challenge given the game’s viral success. Within just 5 months, the Telegram mini game has rocketed past the 300 million players mark.  Hamster Kombat has also set a new record for the quickest time to reach the 100 million users milestone after achieving the feat in two months. Now, the game might be on track to set a new Guinness World Record. de

Data Reveals US Government Is A Shiba Inu Whale As SHIB Rival PlayDoge Closes On $6 Million In Presale

Image
Recent data from Arkham Intelligence reveals that the US government holds $13 billion in crypto, including approximately 54.89 billion Shiba Inu ($SHIB) tokens. Meanwhile, the up-and-coming rival PlayDoge ($PLAY) is rapidly closing in on $6 million in presale funds. This data underscores the significant role of meme coins in the market. PlayDoge, which has more to offer than $SHIB – including its soon-to-launch P2E mobile game with ’90s nostalgia – could soon replace Shiba Inu as the new major meme coin holding of the Feds. For investors who have not noticed the smart money moving into the PlayDoge presale, there’s still a chance to grab the token at $0.00524. However, the price is expected to rise to $0.00525 within the next two days as PlayDoge ends its current presale stage. Given the attention PlayDoge has already garnered, it’s unlikely that the price will stay at these levels for long. The growing interest suggests more bullish activity once it’s liste

Bitcoin Tumbles Below $67K As US Government Moves $2B Silk Road Tokens Despite ”Never Sell” Donald Trump Pledge

Image
The Bitcoin price plunged after a US Government transfer of $2 billion in seized Silk Road BTC in a move that followed Donald Trump ‘s vow to “never sell” US government holdings of BTC. A wallet tagged as “U.S. Government: Silk Road DOJ” moved 29,800 BTC on July 29 to an unlabeled address that has no transaction history, according to Arkham Intelligence . Thereafter, the address performed transactions of 19,800 BTC and 10,000 BTC to two different addresses. The transfers spooked crypto investors, who quickly dumped their holdings in the leading crypto due to fears of an impending selloff. Bitcoin slumped 4% to trade at $66,639.72 as of 2:45 a.m. EST. US Government’s BTC Might Have Been Sent To Coinbase  Analysts at Arkham suspect that the transfer of 10,000 BTC, worth $670 million, was a deposit to an institutional custody or service.

Gemini confirms 15,000 customers impacted by banking breach

Crypto exchange Gemini has warned users to monitor their accounts for unusual activity after it confirmed that around 15,000 of its customers might be affected by a breach of its banking partner.  As reported by Bleeping Computer, Gemini began contacting affected customers last month to tell them that its unnamed automated clearing house provider had been breached. It informed the California Office of Attorney General last Thursday.  According to Gemini, “an unauthorized actor gained access to an internal collaboration tool on the bank partner’s system, which may have resulted in the potential disclosure of certain transactional data between June 3 and June 7, 2024.” As a result, “a subset of some Gemini customers’ banking information was potentially impacted as part of the incident.,” the exchange added.

Summary of Trump's Speech and Why the Market Reaction Was Tepid

Image
By: Hu Feitong Translated by: WuBlockchain The Bitcoin 2024 Conference is the largest Bitcoin event, and this year it was particularly notable due to the participation of Trump and his team. On the afternoon of July 27th, U.S. time, and in the early hours of the 28th, Beijing time, Trump delivered a nearly 50-minute speech that was quite impactful, explicitly supporting Bitcoin and digital currency innovation. The summary of his speech quickly spread through social networks, and most people have probably seen it. However, what is interesting is that despite such positive news, the entire digital currency market reacted very calmly, with prices barely fluctuating. First, let’s look at what Trump said, and then we’ll discuss why the market remained so calm. Summary of Trump’s Speech Many of the summaries people saw were distilled based on the interests of the Web3 industry. However, after watching the entire speech, you would understand that its main purpose was still to garner votes. Si
