The Bitcoin slump didn't last long! After sliding to $90K on Nov. 26, the past 24 hours have been more positive and there are signs we've seen the local bottom. As Bitcoin approaches that hallowed six-figure price tag, many portfolios are way up, and Pantera Capital's rivals any of them, as shown in a blog post by its CEO.

This week, spot Bitcoin ETF options went live, Gemini expanded into France, Ethereum ETFs recorded trading volume and big new venture rounds for Zero Gravity Labs ($40M) and Wyden ($16.9M). 

Although Bitcoin is pushing higher and higher, all eyes were on US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which saw eye-watering numbers. BlackRock posted $1.1B in inflows yesterday, with all 11 ETFs bringing in $1.34B — a number that surprised even the most seasoned ETF analysts. After a Bitcoin rundown, we go through a complete overview of Ethereum as it stands, why it is currently thriving and perhaps even hinting at a "monster rally." Then we will look at an uncomfortable emerging trend as yet another prominent crypto figure is kidnapped.Further reading:BTC price sets fresh all-time high near $77K amid 'long squeeze' fearsBTC investors pour $1.1B into BlackRock ETF as Bitcoin marks another highEthereum set for a ‘monster rally' as price nears $2.9KEthereum deploys nearly $500M to ecosystem projects in 2022–23: ReportEthereum fees poised for rebound amid L2, blob uptickEthereum holder turns $38K into $30M after 8 yearsWonderFi CEO kidnapped and forced to pay $1M ransom: ReportRise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

With mere rumblings of a Trump victory in the US presidential election, Bitcoin soared to an all-time high. Now, with Trump's win confirmed, there is a lot of bullish sentiment as he was seen as the crypto voter's favorite, but what does that really mean? What does Trump's victory mean for crypto? What will we see in the months after he takes office? What will change and what won't? In a special episode of the Rise'n'Crypto podcast, I'll take you through what happened with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours and everything you need to know about the impact of a Trump victory on crypto.Further reading:Bitcoin hits new $75K high as Trump takes early election leadBitcoin shorters ‘are getting rekt' after new $75K highBitcoin heads to the moon — Watch these BTC price levels next from $75KBlackRock's Bitcoin ETF sees 6th ever outflow on US election day2024 US elections live: Trump elected US president for a second timeTrump makes big promises about crypto in US — But can he deliver?Rise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

Many expected heavy volatility in the lead-up to today's US presidential election, but the past 24 hours have been quiet in what's being called a "calm before the storm" by Bitfinex analysts. So much hinges on the outcome of this election, though there are differing opinions on what the impact might be. Elsewhere, Coinbase is hit with allegations from big names in the crypto space that it is charging exorbitant fees to list tokens, and Microsoft may risk a shareholder lawsuit if it ignores Bitcoin and the price rises.Further reading:‘Calm before the storm' — Bitcoin volatility stalls ahead of US electionBitcoin price outlook hinges on 2024 US election outcome — AnalystsUK-based pension scheme makes 3% Bitcoin allocationCoinbase hit with $300M token listing allegations by Sun, CronjeMicrosoft risks shareholder lawsuit if it ignores Bitcoin and prices rise — NCPPR2024 US elections live: Crypto on the ballotRise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

I said yesterday that the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US have gone parabolic, and they continued on that trajectory, surpassing 1M BTC held collectively, primarily courtesy of BlackRock, which achieved record inflows. This has worried some analysts though, as ETF FOMO has previously marked local tops. Elsewhere, the venture capital firm, Paradigm, released a public opinion poll that showed 5% of US voters see crypto as the decisive factor in who they vote for, and in a tight election, that could make all the difference. So, for all of this and much more, grab yourself a coffee and stick your headphones on for 10 minutes!Further reading:Bitcoin investors pile $875M into BlackRock fund amid crypto rallyBTC price risks new 'FOMO' top as Bitcoin ETF inflows near $1B daily5% of US voters identify as single-issue crypto voters — Paradigm pollEx-FTX exec sentenced to time served after guilty pleaParadigm October 2024 Public Opinion PollRise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

We might not have seen a BTC/USD high at the time of recording, but Bitcoin all-time highs were set in various other currencies as things heat up. This heating up is seen clearly when looking at US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which are having a billboard week with a buying frenzy underway. However, some are already looking to take profits, and one whale doing that is Bhutan's government. Outside of Bitcoin, the FTX estate sues KuCoin over frozen funds, dYdX and Consensys make mass layoffs, and Visa and Coinbase partner for instant buying and selling of crypto with a debit card.Further reading:BTC price sets 68K euro all-time high as Bitcoin bulls eye gold next'FOMO confirmed' — BlackRock Bitcoin ETF clocks biggest trading day in 6 monthsBhutan gov't moves $66M of Bitcoin stash to Binance as price tops $71KFTX estate sues KuCoin to recover over $50M in assetsdYdX lays off 35% of staff shortly after major Consensys cutsVisa and Coinbase partner for instant crypto buys with debit cardsRise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

The past 24 hours have seen Bitcoin pushing within a few percent of all-time highs set in March as analysts highlight just how bullish a setup we're seeing. Bitfinex analysts say we're in a "perfect storm." Outside of Bitcoin, Coinbase continues to rehabilitate crypto company sponsorships of sports with three new partnerships, the exchange's CEO wants the next SEC chair to apologize for damage done to the industry, and Solana flips Ethereum in daily fees as the network's growth continues.Further reading:Bitcoin in bullish setup ahead of election: VanEckBitcoin headed for ‘perfect storm' to new all-time high — BitfinexBitcoin's path to $80,000 fueled by bullish derivatives trendsCoinbase to sponsor NBA team in aftermath of FTX collapseCoinbase CEO wants next SEC chair to apologize for ‘damage' doneSolana flips Ethereum in daily fees, surpasses $2.5M in 24 hoursRise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

Bitcoin saw a 3% correction yesterday as predictions that BTC would hit $62K or lower came rolling in, but not all were spooked. For example, investors in BlackRock's IBIT bought the dip to the tune of $329M in inflows and the latest data on retail demand suggests it may be mirroring the lead-up to March all-time highs. Elsewhere, Transak was hit with a data breach exposing sensitive information of 92K users and Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari made more anti-crypto comments and was slammed as a result.Further reading:Bitcoin drops 3% as US sellers spark sub-$65K BTC price targetsBlackRock's IBIT investors throw $329M into ETF as Bitcoin dips 3%Bitcoin analysis sees 'lower risk aversion' as retail demand adds 13%Transak hit by data breach, 92K users exposed‘Being this wrong should be illegal' — Crypto pundits slam Fed's KashkariRise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

Bitcoin has seen a dip or two in the past 24 hours but it's still battling away to capture $68K and hold it, and while some traders are hoping for a heavy correction to scoop up more Sats, BTC is on the precipice of a major breakout as it turns around a seven-month slump. Elsewhere, the FBI has finally arrested the person behind the SEC X account hack in January that gave a false start to the spot Bitcoin ETFs getting the green light. Worldcoin rebrands to just “World” and launched a layer-2 network that prioritizes verified humans. And finally, are we in a memecoin supercycle? (And what is it?!)

The weekend saw some stability in BTC's price after a few strong weeks of gains, but a lot of the conversation concerns renewed retail interest and what it really indicates. Elsewhere, Binance founder CZ, walked free from prison, having served his sentence; those owed by FTX are getting only about "10-25% of their crypto back," according to one creditor, and CryptoQuant's CEO calls for "smart regulation" of the sector for it to thrive — but not everyone agrees.

The massive success of the recently approved spot Bitcoin ETF showed tremendous interest from large institutional players. Even despite negative takes in public appearances, behind the curtain, more and more ‘smart money' accumulate $BTC, either directly or through ETF shares. The same is to be expected for Ethereum, yet uncertainty still looms due to its proof-of-stake consensus model and, ultimately, staking yield. While crypto natives quickly embraced both ETH staking as well as liquid staking, institutions could not justify the higher risk profile and lack of regulatory compliance. Alluvial and Liquid Collective seek to change this and provide ultrasound infrastructure for enterprise-grade security in liquid staking. Topics covered in this episode:Mara's backgroundETH 2.0 and the current staking landscapeLiquid CollectiveETH ETF and staking concernsThe risks of adjusting staking emissionsRestaking and new opportunitiesInstitutional staking and risk optimizationEpisode links:Mara Schmiedt on TwitterAlluvial on TwitterLiquid Collective on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, and Tarun Chitra chop it up about the latest news. This week, they are joined by Laura Shin, the host of Unchained, to discuss the latest post from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who argues that crypto needs to get back to its idealistic cypherpunk roots. Is Vitalik the Pope of crypto, as Haseeb argues, and is there even a need for such an exemplary-type figure? And how do other influential crypto folks like Solana's Anatoly Yakovenko and Tron's Justin Sun fit into this dynamic? The gang also discusses the likely imminent approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. and what it might mean for Bitcoin's price and Ordinals Inscriptions. Show highlights:  Who won the group's bet on what the circulating supply of PayPal's stablecoin, PYUSD, would be at the end of the year The Orbit Bridge hack and how the potential involvement of North Korea could be a problem for the industry How Vitalik's post urging for a return to the cypherpunk ideals sparked a debate within the community Whether Vitalik is like “the Pope of crypto” and whether there's even a need for one Why it's so important to keep the cypherpunk ethos, according to Tarun Why Tom believes, after reading Vitalik's post, that the wrong lessons are being learned How Vitalik and Solana's Anatoly Yakovenko could represent the religious leaders of two different approaches Whether Justin Sun is the “inverse of Vitalik” How GBTC holders are the most impacted ones given that the spot Bitcoin ETFs will be created and redeemed in cash Whether the SEC is picking favorites in the Bitcoin ETF landscape What could happen to the price of BTC if the ETF is approved Whether the rise in Bitcoin's price will increase fees so much that it crowds out Ordinals Inscriptions Hosts Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly  Tom Schmidt, general partner at Dragonfly  Tarun Chitra, managing partner at Robot Ventures Guest Laura Shin, journalist, author of ‘The Cryptopians,' founder and CEO of Unchained Disclosures Links Cypherpunk ideals Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again by Vitalik Buterin Quotes on Vitalik's post on X Business Insider: 'Heed these words of warning:' Ethereum founder threatens to leave if the crypto community doesn't grow up The Block: Solana Labs CEO: It ‘doesn't really matter' if the network goes down again Spot Bitcoin ETF Unchained:  77% of Financial Advisors Are Waiting for a Spot Bitcoin ETF to Offer Their Clients How Much Money Will Flow Into Bitcoin ETFs?

Financial advisors in the US control $8 trillion in assets. Here's why 77% are waiting for spot Bitcoin ETFs.According to surveys of financial advisors, only 12% are currently recommending that clients invest in Bitcoin, while 47% of advisors personally own Bitcoin and a whopping 77% say they are waiting for a spot Bitcoin ETF to become available so they can offer it to their clients.

The SEC decided not to appeal its court loss against Grayscale, which means GBTC's conversion to a spot BTC ETF is likely on its way. Also, multiple spot Bitcoin ETF applications appear to be inching closer to approval.James Seyffart, market analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, and Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, feel quite certain a spot Bitcoin ETF will launch in the next few months. First, the SEC decided not to appeal a court's rejection of Grayscale's application to convert its Bitcoin trust to a spot ETF. Second, there's been a change in the way the SEC has been treating the many other spot Bitcoin ETF applications—requesting minuscule tweaks in disclosure language. And even though other legal hiccups are occurring—the NY Attorney General's lawsuit against Grayscale parent company, DCG, the SEC's potentially renewed vigor in the Ripple case, and Cointelegraph's incorrect tweet about a bitcoin ETF—the SEC needs a PR win right now. According to them, this means good things not just for spot Bitcoin ETFs but also, shortly thereafter, Ethereum ETFs.

This week's emphatic ruling in favor of Grayscale in its suit against the SEC to convert its massive bitcoin trust into an ETF generated plenty of hopium among the bitcoin faithful that a spot bitcoin ETF will get approved soon and open a flood of investment in bitcoin. What are the odds of that truly happening now, though, and if it did, how much additional money could wind up being invested in bitcoin as a result? Also, which companies' applications would get approved first and how would the various products compete with one other? Bloomberg's senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas separates the hype from the reality in answering these questions and more. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform. Show highlights: why Bloomberg increased the likelihood of a Bitcoin ETF being approved this year from 50% to 75% how the ruling exceeded the expectations of the legal analysts at Bloomberg why it's important that the ruling was a bipartisan decision whether, from a legal perspective, it's "weird" to deny a spot ETF but approve a futures one how a spot Bitcoin ETF would act as a bridge for Baby boomers to invest in crypto what the two most likely SEC responses to the ruling are what the likely timelines for an SEC spot Bitcoin ETF approval or disapproval would be whether Gary Gensler's agency will approve Ethereum futures ETFs in the U.S. why BlackRock's and Fidelity's ETFs are more likely to be approved first, according to Eric how the different ETFs would compete in the market why spot Bitcoin ETFs pose a serious threat to crypto exchanges' businesses Eric's estimate of how much additional money would pour into Bitcoin if a spot Bitcoin ETF is approved Thank you to our sponsors!
