    Genesis Sought $1B Bailout From Investors Before Halting Withdrawals: Report

    Crypto lender Genesis tried to raise a $1 billion loan from investors to avoid a “liquidity crunch” driven by the fallout from crypto exchange FTX’s collapse, according to a Wall Street Journal report. According to a Genesis document seen by the WSJ, Genesis needed the credit by 10 am EST this past Monday, but didn’t get it. On Wednesday morning, Genesis then announced it would suspend withdrawals from its lending arm, blaming FTX’s collapse for “abnormal withdrawal requests which have exceeded...

    February Vote for MiCA Crypto Bill Is ‘Tentative’: European Union

    Europe’s landmark Markets in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA) won’t be implemented until next February at the earliest, as EU lawmakers pushed back voting on the regulation due to the text’s length and complexity, an EU spokesperson told Decrypt. Lawmakers had previously set a tentative date of December. The delay will likely hold back regulation that would have introduced greater protection for retail crypto investors and certainty for the industry. The text for the bill was approved in June, wi...

    Kraken, the world’s sixth-largest cryptocurrency exchange, is launching its new NFT marketplace today, even as sales for digital collectibles continue to drop.  The exchange is hoping to entice current and would-be NFT collectors with its promise of gas-less transactions on Kraken—a sweet incentive likely aimed at cost-conscious buyers amid record worldwide inflation, which, coupled with crypto’s penchant for volatility, has left the industry in tatters.  But Kraken is not daunted, with a compan...

    Bitcoin and Ethereum have recovered all losses from yesterday, following their plunging in response to the release of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index (CPI), which was up 8.2% from last year’s numbers. The leading cryptocurrency is trading at around $19,649 by press time, or up as much as 3.4% since yesterday’s low of $18,347.67, per CoinGecko.

Zk-rollups are a much-hyped layer-2 scaling solution that promises to dramatically enhance the Ethereum blockchain’s performance by “rolling up” collections of transactions, which are then presented to the blockchain as a single block. This cuts costs and speeds up transactions, as the blockchain only needs to...

    Investors Flee Gold and Bitcoin, Pushing Correlation to New 12-Month High

    Bitcoin’s correlation with gold has just hit its highest level in the last 12 months this week, as investors have been lured by a strong dollar amid rising interest rates. While Bitcoin has long been hailed as a “digital gold” and a hedge against inflation, like the yellow metal, it appears that investors disagree. Over the past few months, as inflation soared, both Bitcoin and gold have seen big drops in value, leading to a year-high correlation of +0.4, according to Kaiko Research. A correlat...
