# The Coinweb Daily Spin

\*\*The Daily Spin. _Hotel Tuesday Edition._ \*\*Most charts continue to show red as the markets consolidate before the PCE index report due on April 28th, however analysts have noted that support levels for Bitcoin are holding strong with positive expectation to the upside as we approach the end of the month. Early May will see the next FOMC meeting, with a 25 bps hike anticipated and priced into the market as of current conditions. Bitcoin’s price continues its volatility as questions concerning the US debt ceiling rise to the front of the narrative. 

Dorian Nakamoto speaks out about his past involvement with government contracts, further extending the mystery and shroud around the tale of the true creator of Bitcoin. Stablecoin demand drops contrary to industry expectations. Is memecoin season over – as Floki Inu posts 50% gains alongside testnet launch and Binance.US listing? Bitget token $BGB also announces listing to BitFinex, adding to its total liquidity and outpacing gains in the exchange token sector as of yesterday.

Speaking of exchanges… KuCoin’s Twitter account was hacked; OPNX becomes kryptonite; Binance launches ChatGPT powered “Sensei” bot; VISA is aggressively looking to hire a crypto engineer for their co-pilot AI development; Bitcoin inscriptions surge in supply without equivalent demand; Ordinals Finance rugs for over $1m; the first NFT insider trading lawsuit has been launched; Coinbase files legal action against the SEC for clarity on regulations; and the US’ regulatory environment failures have brought Russia up to the 2nd ranked country for crypto mining, as well as causing crypto entities like Gemini to leave the jurisdiction for better pastures outside the purview of the US legal system. 

China ramps up its push for CBDC adoption. Trust Wallet announces that it was recently hacked and has opened claims for reimbursements. The hack was identified from a vulnerability in its WASM code, and the firm asserts no relation to the ongoing MetaMask exploit that is currently being investigated. And in TL, the creator of Aptos weighs in on the most likely industry verticals that will usher the next wave of adoption and an analyst claims that Ethereum whales and institutions are using ETH bulls as exit liquidity as the price of ETH rejects back from major resistance levels… 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…
