    Every Crypto Project Must Reckon With the SEC's Howey Test

    Nearly five years ago, SEC official Bill Himan stood on stage at a Yahoo Finance crypto summit in San Francisco and delivered a prepared speech that concluded that Ethereum (ETH) is not a security. A footnote on the SEC's website clarified that the speech "expresses the author’s views and does not necessarily reflect those of the Commission," but it was nonetheless taken exactly that way. Hinman's speech came just one week after then-SEC chair Jay Clayton said that the SEC does not view Bitcoin...

    I was one of the 18,000 people to enter the Grand Palais Éphémère, a huge domed exhibition hall facing the Eiffel Tower, for NFT Paris three weeks ago. The event has stuck with me more than most crypto conferences do—and I attend a lot of crypto conferences.

    Crypto Market Rallies on FDIC Banking Intervention, USDC Regains Dollar Peg

    The market cap of all cryptocurrencies is back above the $1 trillion mark. After a joint statement from the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury, and FDIC declared that all depositors of now-shuttered Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank will be able to get their funds out on Monday, the battered crypto market turned green. Late on Sunday night, Bitcoin (BTC) was up to $22,300 and Ethereum (ETH) was at $1,596, both up around 8% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap price data. Top-30 coin...

    US Dollar Coin, the No. 2 stablecoin by market cap, designed to remain always priced at $1, is currently trading at 91 cents, according to data on both CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. It fell as low as 87 cents overnight, below its prior all-time-low of 89 cents in May 2019. On Saturday morning, it had begun to recover.

    The US Government Wants You To Know It's Cracking Down on Crypto

    The jokes wrote themselves. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice declared ominously that it would hold a live press conference at noon to announce an "International Cryptocurrency Enforcement Action." Crypto Twitter panicked, and so did crypto prices. Bitcoin and Ethereum each fell nearly 5% in just a few minutes, amounting to a flash crash. Which big player was caught in the DOJ's crosshairs?

    Crypto had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year in 2022. Coins began tanking at the start of Q2 and never rallied; Terra collapsed in May, leading to the bankruptcies of Celsius, Voyager, and Three Arrows Capital; the Feds sanctioned Tornado Cash in August; FTX collapsed in November, leading to the bankruptcy of BlockFi and warning signs from Genesis and Digital Currency Group.

    What Is Bitcoin?

    Bitcoin started it all. It was the first cryptocurrency, and it launched an industry that now includes thousands. But who invented it, how does it work, and why is it so important? What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin (BTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency whose transactions are logged on a public, decentralized, immutable ledger. This ledger, the blockchain, allows everyone to be witnesses to the transactions and to how they are verified. The first official purchase using Bitcoin was for pizza in May 2010....

In an official announcement, the New Jersey-based company said it "will focus on recovering all obligations owed to BlockFi," but that "recoveries from FTX will be delayed" due to the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings at the fallen crypto exchange.

He chatted onstage with Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, and Gisele Bundchen. Posed for selfies with admirers. Interviewed Tom Brady about the art of winning—and found time to make some TikTok videos with him. Brady has since deleted those videos amid Sam's total public disgrace.
