Coinweb.ioThe Coinweb Weekly Spin
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. Meanwhile, a report by hedge fund Brevan Howard claims that stablecoin ...

The Weekly Spin. Twelfth Edition. This week the major event in the industry was the 6th ETHCC, held in Paris from the 17th-20th – it took the headlines as more than 8 top-tier crypto protocols made major announcements (there’s a special section devoted to the Conference in this edition). Looks like everyone was trying to get the attention of the prom queen, who of course was Vitalik Buterin himself. L2s on Ethereum were the main narrative, as well as blockchain interoperability. The markets saw a flurry of price action in the Altcoins, with SOL, XLM and LINK leading the pack. FedNow launched its payment system with the support of major finance players of the likes of JPMorgan and WellsFargo, meanwhile the Hon. Gary Gensler extended his hand for more money to the House Appropriations Committee and was deliciously roasted. Highly satisfying to watch, perfect with some popcorn and a nice bottle of red to keep you warm.
As for Coinweb, we are getting closer to our Wallet’s Alpha Release by the day – the latest version being v1.0.12, which is not currently available to download for the UK as of yet.
