Weekly Wrap: 16th October - 23rd October gm When I began compiling this week's newsletter, Bitcoin was sat at just over $31k and we're now sitting at $34.5k. I think it's fair to say the bulls are back in the room! There is definitely a lot of excitement about the potential for a Bitcoin Spot ETF on the timeline. Some developments suggest things are moving along behind the scenes. However, Bitcoin isn't the only crypto to see a boost. In fact, both $LINK and $SOLANA are up...

gm Today was certainly a good morning for some with Bitcoin briefly bouncing to 30k but it was a horrible morning for Coin Telegraph who shared the fake news that a Bitcoin ETF had been approved. Even though mistakes do happen, this isn't a great look for the maturity of the crypto market and its press. The single post led to mass liquidations as people acted on the information. You can almost guarantee that regulators will be looking at what happened here and considering the implication...

Weekly Wrap: 31st October - 6th November gm Whether it is the announcement of ArcadeDAO last week, the upcoming Blur airdrop or just the general buoyancy of the crypto markets, there is definitely some excitement back in the NFT market. NFTFi volume in particular has exploded by more than 40% in a week even as the number of deposits remained dropped. This suggests to me that farmers are definitely eyeing up this opportunity but it looks like they are gunning for ETH volume over transaction nu...

Weekly Wrap: 25th September - 2nd October September gm The timeline is practically bubbling with excitement at the prospect of "Uptober". This is based on the fact that 8 out of the past 10 Octobers have seen positive price action for Bitcoin. Things got off to a good start with the crypto majors both jumping about 3% in a matter of minutes at the start of this week. Although things have cooled off a little since then. This week has seen the launch of Ether futures ETFs in the US and that no ...

Weekly Wrap: 18th September - 25th September gm This week's "hot take" from the Rolling Stone is that NFTs are now officially "totally worthless"... This is based on a study that looked at 73,257 collections and established 69,795 have a market cap of zero. That leaves 3,462 collections worth at least something by my calculations in a sector that barely existed a few years ago. Not to mention, this is like saying that cryptocurrencies are dead because at least 40% have been deactivated a...

Weekly Wrap: 11th September - 18th September gm I've mentioned Nouns DAO a few times in this newsletter because I think it is an interesting experiment. Once per day, a new NFT is auctioned at nouns.wtf with the funds going to a treasury. Every Noun owned is membership within the Nouns DAO and equal to one vote. Anyone can submit proposals to the DAO to request funding for projects that spread the Nouns meme. With the sheen of the bull market fully worn off, Nouns NFTs were trading below...

Weekly Wrap: 2nd October - 9th October Darklays by OSF.art gm After an initial boost last week, "Uptober" has been more of a "Choptober" so far with very little change to Bitcoin and a small drop in the price of Ethereum after the Ethereum Foundation sold $2.74 million of ETH on Monday 9th. No news on the ETF front either. Mostly the markets seem to be sitting and waiting for the next big move. There are certainly a few potential catalysts in play right now. One less than optimistic take come...

gm Still no news on the Bitcoin ETF, but a surprise Ethereum ETF filing from Blackrock saw it jump 10% in short order. This saw Bitcoin dominance fall back and it looks to be settling with the BTC/ETH price around 0.0565 at the time of writing this. Outside of the crypto majors, Solana has definitely been the star of the show recently, having jumped almost 200% from $21.37 since the beginning of October to over $63 dollars within the past week. This has seen some spillover focus on the NFT ma...

Weekly Wrap: 23rd October - 30th October gm The Crypto majors seem to have settled around their new heights. The biggest winner is Bitcoin which is up over 15% on the week and is now firmly overweight in the dominance charts at 51%+. This is no surprise as one of biggest narratives has been around the potential approval of a Spot Bitcoin ETF in the US. But also more broadly, Bitcoin is the gold standard of crypto and tends to lead the market in many ways. Could we have reached a bottom? I can...
