The Weekly Spin. Sixteenth Edition. This week was a tough one for the markets, as Bitcoin held support at $26k but overall liquidity in the market remained low. In the spotlight was Binance, who are facing battles on all sides – with the EU regulators increasing their scrutiny causing the announcement halting SEPA transfers late September, card services for LatAm shuttering, and severing their partnership with Mastercard.

**The Daily Spin. Ramadan Thursday Edition.
**LFG! The FED raises interest rates for the 9th consecutive time, yesterday by 25 basis points, and stands by the narrative that “isolated bank failures” could lead to contagion and that they acted swiftly and decisively – but that the economy is strong, the banking system is strong, unemployment is low – and oh let’s not mention the $300B added to the balance sheet, the BTFP and the stealthy delay of the shit hitting the fan when bailout treasury swaps are due one year later… meanwhile, the report from Biden attacks crypto for speculation and for ESG, paving the way for a US CBDC to reveal itself as the solution – which was shrewdly opposed by Republican leaders in both Texas (Sen. Ted Cruz) and Florida (Gov. De Santis).
Then, as if with hive mind mentality, the SEC unleashes a barrage of regulation by enforcement attacks aimed at Coinbase who received a Wells Notice, Justin Sun, SushiSwap, and a bunch of other suits at influencers in connection with promoting FTX. You know what, I’ve created an entire new section devoted to this grift with the US Government entitled, “US Coordinated Regulation Failures.” It’s really starting to ratchet up as Bitcoin holders are 72% in profit, dominance approaches 48% and the eye of the storm seems to have just passed over.
As previous cycles have shown in unison with current technical analysis, when BTC hits 48% dominance the ETH/BTC trendline breaks out and then the market takes their profits and fires it into what is affectionately known as “Altcoin Season.” To summarize, the BTC 4-year cycle has come to fruition once again, leading up to the halving, and it is with more confidence that the bottom has passed – but that we’re in a new, bull run with some uniquely differentiating qualities. This time, people are in the green and moving to self-custody. The macroeconomic environment is in the gutter as the global lockdown comes to bear, the banking system is collapsing around us as we speak, and there’s been more division in politics than ever before. There is even the real possibility that the US Dollar loses its status as the world’s reserve currency – Xi, Putin and the leaders of the BRICS nations might have something to say about that. For many who have been in crypto for long enough, who have foreseen these problems come to a head and coined what is known as “The Great Flippening.” It has begun.
Now let’s get to brass tax about the other headlines of the day… Coinbase executives have been running for the door for over a month, selling shares and shouting “the British are here!” at the top of their lungs. Ethereum puts its Shanghai-Capella hard fork upgrade to April 12th. Arbitrum’s token $ARB launches today at Ethereum block 16890400, one of the most anticipated L2 events of the year. Ontology incubates a new layer 2 solution, “The Goshen Network.” A Circle executive (USDC) gets their Twitter account hacked. Crypto firms flock to Swiss Banks (read: UBS) after Silvergate and Signature collapses. The SEC names 6 altcoins they believe to be securities traded on Coinbase’s exchange: AMP, LCX, POWR, RLY, XYO, and DDX. XRPL is rallying in anticipation of a favorable SEC vs. Ripple outcome.
Elsewhere, Hong Kong is to release virtual asset licensing details in June. The South Korean DAXA releases guidelines for listing and relisting crypto assets. France is looking to ban crypto promotion, as their petrochemical workforce sets fire to the infrastructure and mobilizes against Macron. And concerns surface about the Venezuelan Central Bank as they no-show their economic data report, amid allegations of corruption in high political offices around crypto.
In Thought Leadership today, we talk about Bank fuck-ups, Elon Musk chimes in about the current antiquated financial system, and Arthur Hayes writes a beautiful prose on the current day crises in an article appropriately entitled, “Kaiseki”… here is our round-up of curated news and opinions (surely biased) from the world of Blockchain, keeping you informed into the market news with the most trending, in-the-know, and controversial topics. In the name of transparent, dissemination of information to keep you curious, inspired, and clinically sane…
