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.

**The Weekly Spin. Seventh Edition.** Another eventful week goes by in the crypto industry, never a dull moment. After the U.S. SEC went for the two biggest players in the industry, Binance and Coinbase, they sought for an injunction to freeze Binance.US assets – and were promptly denied by the court. Hearings were held at Congress, and a controversial SPAC exchange “Prometheum” represented the crypto industry defending the SEC regarding their lack of regulatory clarity; the speakers were exposed as political insiders and crypto twitter had a hay day about it. Rumors of the largest stablecoin provider by market capitalisation, Tether (USDT), depegging from parity with the dollar caused markets to panic; simultaneously, the founder of Curve.fi was reported to have sent the majority of the protocol’s tokens for liquidity via Aave, causing speculators to heavily short the token amidst extreme volatility and negative market sentiment. It appears that the industry is under a full-scale attack from the US government and the financial-industrial complex, as we saw the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum dive further into the red despite positive inflation data and the FED pausing interest rate hikes for the first time in over a year.
Nonetheless, Coinweb staged a massive recovery surging past year-long high levels and led the market for a day this week – following strong performance and the start of a highly anticipated equity raise round. The world’s stock markets have been on a tear, from the NASDAQ gaining over 40% and the Nikkei showing the best performance since pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, China has started to provide stimulus into their economy, and Hong Kong’s attractiveness as a global crypto hub has started to manifest as the rest of the world (RTW) opens its arms to the fallout victims of the American financial regime collapse.
A lot of coverage in the TL section this week, as many opinion leaders took to the press about the various advances and shifts in the industry and neighboring verticals… 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…
