Typically, Bitcoin stands as the unyielding anchor, the lodestar in portfolios across the world. Yet Upbit, in its enigmatic wisdom, has chosen to dance to a different tune, a rare and rebellious deviation that whispers of winds shifting in the cryptographic wilderness.
Those Bitcoin blocks? They’re 4.63% tougher to mine now, thanks to this latest difficulty shenanigan. As of 2:35 p.m. Eastern time Friday, the hashrate is cruising at 1,016.17 exahash per second (EH/s), breaking the 1 zettahash (ZH/s) barrier like it’s a piñata at a party. At block height 915,264, it even hit 1.13 ZH/s-briefly, of course, because who can keep up with that tempo? Average block time? A cool 9 minutes and 1 second. Not too shabby, eh? 🕺
Apparently, the key to surviving the crypto rollercoaster is…wait for it…planning. I know, shocking! Hilton recommends that every XRP holder should know three basic things: how many tokens they own, the average price they paid for them (which, let’s be honest, is probably “too much”), and the price at which they want to sell them. This, he says, is the foundation of a strong investment plan. Without these three nuggets of wisdom, you’re just going to panic every time the market hiccups. So, instead of crying over every dip, you’ll be able to say, “Eh, I knew this was coming.”
Tether, whose USDT roams the foreign lands like a nomadic coin, now seeks to conquer the U.S. with USAT-a token so pure, it meets every regulatory whim. 🧼✨ Unlike its sibling USDT, whose reserves are a mere 80% compliant, USAT shall be the paragon of virtue!
As the vast and bewildering realm of crypto continues its unabated expansion, with smart contracts weaving ever more intricate webs of application and utility, one fears Bitcoin may find itself relegated to the humbler role of a mere repository for value-akin to a governess forever confined to the nursery.
This fund, once a mere shadow called the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, now struts as the first multi-asset crypto ETP in the U.S. It dangles access to the five crypto titans: Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. A feast for the speculators, no doubt, but will it feed the hungry masses? 🤔
In a *very* exciting X post (because nothing says “exciting” like a tweet-turned-video), crypto guru John Squire shared a clip where a SWIFT exec proudly announced that they’re going to integrate ISO 20022 for their payment services. You know, for all those *extra* value-added products and services banks can offer. She was basically saying, “Hey, let’s make our payment rails *super* interoperable with everything else!” A bold move, given how Ripple has been strutting around with XRP like the popular kid at school. 😏
Imagine this: hundreds of side events, dinners, networking summits, and afterparties turning Singapore into a wild, relentless experience. Doesn’t that sound electrifying? But, oh wait, don’t rush to RSVP just yet – unless you’ve got a calendar as precise as a Swiss watch, you might find yourself overwhelmed. But fear not, dear reader, BeInCrypto has prepared this handy cheatsheet for you to prioritize the events that will make your crypto life *truly* unforgettable.
Bitcoin’s illiquid supply hits a staggering 14.3 million BTC – a new record! 🎉
Our dear Ethereum finds itself stubbornly perched near $4,500, neither forward nor backward, as though held captive by a drowsy suitor too bored to propose. Since the dawning of August, its price has held a most languid flatness, momentum as absent as a polite suitor at a ball, whilst volume declines with the enthusiasm of a governess at a masquerade.
