💲💴💵 ETF approved. Exhale 😬

🤡 At night, the SEC tweeted that spot ETFs were accepted. But it turned out that the account was hacked - the regulators sat in a puddle as much as possible, without turning on 2-FA authorization. They even launched an official investigation.

✅ Crypto exchanges began to be blocked in India — Binance, Kraken, Kucoin, Huobi and other applications disappeared from the App Store. According to regulators, all of them operate without registration — and Hindus thus avoid crypto taxes that were introduced last year.

🌐 Looks like Twitter is ending support for NFT avatars. There was no official announcement yet, but the functionality is being quietly removed. Nobody needs those NFT 🤷‍♀️

Good day - January 11.

The SEC tweeted that spot ETFs were approved... 😳
..But immediately Gary Gensler wrote that the twitter was hacked, the tweet was unauthorized, and the ETF was not accepted.

The market is expected to jump from such clowning 🤷

✅ Everyone is frozen in anticipation of news, the market is at a record level of "greed", and 90% of all Bitcoin addresses are now in the red.

☝️ Who is going to trade the new XAI token, which was listed on the exchanges today - be careful, they had a huge airdrop of $70 million, which means that sooner or later the fixes will start.

❌ The American branch of Binance US will delete BOND in a week — the token has dropped by almost 10%. On the global Binance, it is marked with the "monitoring" tag, which means that it may also be delisted soon.

🌐 Twitter should launch p2p payments on the platform already this year. Whether this will include cryptocurrency or not is unknown, somehow Musk has cooled off recently. But the Doge still got a little excited 🤷

Issuers of spot bitcoin ETFs have disclosed details of their cryptofunds' financing

Issuers of spot bitcoin ETFs have revealed the details of the initial funding of crypto funds preparing for launch.

According to the documents, the VanEck company intends to invest $72.5 million in the new product. It is about direct investment.

BlackRock, for its part, is ready to fund its spot bitcoin ETF for $10 million.

Bitwise Asset Management indicated in the updated form S-1 information about the provision of investment in the amount of $500,000. At the same time, it is ready to be supported by Pantera Capital with a potential contribution of $200 million.

✅ Bitcoin again pleases longists. Over the course of a day, BTC jumped by almost 8%, setting a new high of this season — 47k 🎉

🤔 The reasons for the growth have not changed - they are just fueling more and more hype in the topic of spot ETFs. Latest news: According to CNBC sources, a decision should be made as early as Wednesday. Among the experts of our community, 57% are sure that they will accept, against 20% that they will not 😬

✅ "Crypto is not a means of payment," says the Deputy Head of the NBU of Ukraine. "We do not consider crypto-assets as a means of payment. It's not money. In this matter, our position coincides with the opinion of colleagues from the IMF." And changes, he says, are not on time.

🌔 Bitcoin and Doge don't seem to be going to the moon. Today, after a long wait, the rocket with BTC and DOGE finally launched to the moon - however, a few hours ago the team reported a critical problem and it looks like we can't wait for the landing ☹️

✅ Bitcoin has been hanging around waiting for news - the entire news space is now completely filled with speculation about spot ETFs. Insiders are added three times a day, there is no more energy to write about them here, but everyone is at a low start 😬

✅ But here's an opinion from one of the crypto users: isn't it surprising that so many "insiders" are published? It's as if FOMO is specially heated. If someone really knows something, isn't it easier to buy and sit quietly?
https://twitter.com/Bitfinexed/status/1743298040432034199?t=7N3GFld39jxUYW-iLfBvQQ

✅ Binance has converted all BUSD balances on user balances to FDUSD stables 1:1, so don't panic if you can't find your BUSD.

✅ Today, Certik, a crypto-security company, wrote about Uniswap's vulnerability — alleging that hackers are stealing money. It turned out that Certik's Twitter account was hacked — and a phishing link was published, which somewhat damaged UNI. Who can be trusted in the crypt at all? 😨

Stock exchanges met with the SEC to discuss spot bitcoin ETFs

Employees of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held a meeting with representatives of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).

During the meeting, the parties discussed the details of a potential launch of a spot bitcoin ETF on stock exchanges. The SEC asked the exchange to review and revise the 19b-4 filings filed on behalf of the issuers.

✅ Before we had time to enjoy the growth, Bitcoin suddenly spilled over and took the entire market with it. BTC dipped below $41k but quickly bounced back to $42k. In a day, longists liquidated up to $600 million — ouch.

✅ Meanwhile, Michael Saylor is only happy about the drop, saying he will sell 5,000 shares of MSTR every day for four months, and use all the money to buy BTC. That's about 10,000 bitcoins.

✅ The fall may have been triggered by an article by Matrixport analysts that ETFs will not be accepted again. Yes, the same Matrixport who said yesterday that ETFs would be accepted literally days later lol 🤡

Bitcoin is celebrating its 15th birthday 💵

Exactly 15 years ago, on January 3, 2009, a person or group of people under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto launched the Bitcoin mainnet by mining a genesis block of 50 BTC.

Today, miners receive 6.2 BTC, and 105 days after the halving, they will receive 3.1 BTC for the same activity.

Happy Birthday Bitcoin, we wish you to grow to $100k 🥳

Bitcoin closed December with a growth of 12.1% — the fourth month in a row closed in the positive:

• September: +3.9%
• October: +28.5%
• November: +8.8%
• December: +12.1%

Bitcoin is trading at ~$45,700 amid warming ETF adoption (closer to January 10th) and rumors that Tesla may start accepting BTC again.

How will Bitcoin close out January?
🐳 is a plus
🤡 - in minus

✅ Bitcoin immediately started the year by renewing the highs of this cycle — during the last day, the price rose by 7%, above the $45k mark. Setting the trend for the new year of the bull?

✅ Hype around the adoption of ETFs seems to be at its maximum right now - yes, Matrixport analysts believe that they will be accepted these days, and bookmakers give 89% acceptance by January 15. If they don't accept it, there is a possibility of sharp temporary disappointment in the market.

✅ Solana's popularity is breaking new records - yes, in the last seven days, the blockchain has become the most popular network for transactions with stablecoins, surpassing even Ethereum and Tron. The cost of transactions on the Ethereum network remains moderately high.

I congratulate everyone on the new year, it's already interesting here 😬

👩‍💻 What does the year in the crypt begin with? Well, of course, from another hack. Orbit Bridge hacked for $80 million (mainly stables) — bridges are a popular target as always.

🫠 Tellor arranged an unforgettable New Year's Eve for both long players and short players. Within hours, the TRB token rose to $600+ and touched $120, painting a holiday tree on the chart.

💵 Tether started the year by purchasing another 8,888 bitcoins, becoming the tenth largest bitcoin holder. Previously, they promised to buy bitcoin for 15% of the income.

🎄 Vitalik Buterin congratulated Ukrainians on the New Year: "I wish you happiness, health and peace with justice. Glory to the heroes," he tweeted. We join in the wishes ❤️

New York Judge Jed Rakoff ruled in favor of the SEC in a lawsuit alleging that Terraform Labs and its co-founder Do Kwon offered and sold unregistered securities.

Rakoff ruled that assets such as UST, LUNA, mLUNA and MIR are securities "because they are investment contracts."
