TGIF, Zingernation! Bitcoin’s correction is finally over, analysts say, but between the blessed land of $70,000+ and now lies one very important obstacle.

Today, we look at why one Ethereum co-founder calls Donald Trump’s DeFi project “scary”, the biggest crypto crime cases of 2024 and more.

MARKET SNAPSHOT

TOP STORY

Donald Trump is “scary”?

True or not, that’s not news, we’ve heard that before from some people.

But Donald Trump’s crypto ambitions being scary?

Now we got a story.

One Ethereum co-founder thinks they are and they’re not good for the industry.

Why that is?

QUICK N DIRTY

Pepe has slowly and steadily outperformed its memecoin rivals Dogecoin and Shiba Inu over the past month. And some say, we are “not bullish enough” on it.

Bitcoin’s correction has ended, says 10x Research, and it could go to $70K. The obstacle on the way? A very important mid-way target.

Arthur Hayes lost $790,000 trading an Ethereum-based altcoin. Happens to the best, it seems. How exactly and why he’s still calling for $1M Bitcoin.

FINTECH FOCUS

Just two days ago, the perpetrators of a $243M crypto heist were busted by the FBI.

But as you would have guessed, that’s not the only and not even the biggest crypto crime case of 2024.

It’s been a good year for crypto criminals (at least those who didn’t get caught).

The biggest case of 2024?
