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 Coinweb Monthly Spin. Seventh Edition. Hello Coinwebbers! In this edition of the Monthly Spin, we are announcing the depreciation of The Daily Spin newsletter – into a weekly version, which will begin publishing next week. So for all of those who have been following our Daily Newsletter column, whether by Reddit, Mirror.xyz, or any other channel… I would like to sincerely thank you all for the support and kind words of encouragement over the months. Barring weekends and holidays, we have managed to publish around 250 editions over the last year – and it has been my pleasure and hope that it has created much value for everyone involved. You guys know where to find me!
So April! Has been a month of steady gains in the crypto asset sector, despite a flailing macroeconomic environment and ever-concerning regulatory environment concerns in both the US and around the world. Bank failures have continued to make landfall due to interest rate shock, as FED Chair Jerome Powell takes the steepest measures to attempt to curb the largest rise in inflation of our generation, meanwhile coming up with creative solutions to keep control of the FED Balance Sheet. The EU has been under tremendous pressure from the issues that have been taking center stage; whether from government wages, retirement and pension fund management, to energy crises and corruption. But one very positive thing has come out of the EU – the approval of the MiCA regulatory framework for digital assets promises to be a beacon of standards that the rest of the world should look to follow. Conversely, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has issued enforcement actions on every major crypto player Stateside while maintaining the lack of clarity needed to regulate the industry or have companies come into compliance – prompting an embarrassing intervention from US Congress and ongoing migration of the biggest innovators out of the jurisdiction for good. Meanwhile, the Asian central banks have been pursuing the opposite policy of expansion vs. tightening, as China DGAF and the BoJ remains geared for more growth in their financial markets and liquidity. And to sum it all up, Total Crypto Market Capitalization has been steadily growing past $1.1T dollars, BTC and ETH have hit their local highs, and the Altcoin cycle has spun around faster than a bottle at your typical unsupervised high-school party.
Two more things that must be mentioned in any newsletter format of these days: The explosion of AI into the public sphere, its ultra-fast and independent recursive iterations compounding the tech’s scope and impact faster than anything we’ve ever seen in history. And the second being its direct impact on the capital markets, private equity and venture capital allocations. The banks are really, really fucked. Been a long time coming, too. But as CZ points out, that is not a prerequisite for the success of cryptocurrencies. So without further ado, let’s get into our review of happenings for the first month of Q2!
The Monthly Spin is the newsletter dedicated to our progress as a fast-moving, exponentially-growing project that is committed to being high-touch with our community and providing value in as many ways as we can. So, every month you can find not only our progress, but also general value in the form of blockchain affairs, adoption, education, as well as a thought leadership section for your own personal exploration. You can no longer find The Daily Spin, but now The Weekly Spin, every Monday on our subreddit for curated news and opinions from the world of Blockchain, designed to keep you informed of the most trending, in-the-know, and controversial topics. We strive to keep you informed, connected, curious, inspired, and of course… clinically sane in these crazy yet exciting times that we share today.
