Here's a really interesting chart I just found.
Comparing the amount of stablecoins on exchanges relative to Bitcoin's market cap gives what I'm calling "Dry Powder Ratio"
Currently at an all-time high, this shows there's a lot of dry powder ready to be deployed.

Fed heads are no longer officially allowed to trade in cryptocurrencies
Until recently, officials holding high positions at the Fed had no right to trade only stocks, currencies, bonds and other financial instruments.
From now on, due to new rules coming into effect on May 1, cryptocurrencies will be added to that list.
Officials will have exactly one year to get rid of all assets.
Previously, many high-ranking officials have been caught insider trading on more than one occasion, after which they had to resign.

Unregulated mining growth threatens energy markets β Fitch
Experts estimate that cryptocurrency ecosystems consume about 04-1% of global electricity. Such figures stem from the fact that electricity accounts for up to 90% of the financial costs of cryptocurrency mining.
Analysts believe the uncontrollable growth of demand in the cryptocurrency market could disrupt the energy sector.
However, Fitch doubts whether mining can further develop in the international arena without regulatory pressure.
Thus, according to experts, the crypto market in the long term will gain mass acceptance, leading to the predictability of the movement of quotations.
In this case, many aspects, including mining, will fall under strict control of regulators, summarized in Fitch.

Why Bitcoin dropped, what does Ukraine have to do with it and what should investors expect?
On the evening of February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees "On Recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic" and "On Recognition of the Luhansk People's Republic."
Technically, the decision means Russia's recognition of the DNR and LNR's independence from Ukraine. News of this appeared on the Kremlin's official website.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky responded to the Russian authorities' decision with a statement that the country under his control would remain within its internationally recognized borders.
Participants of the cryptocurrency community noticed that the growing tension in the political arena has a negative impact on the dynamics of digital assets.
As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalated, major cryptocurrencies repeatedly went into decline.
Also amid the escalation of the political conflict, Russians faced a depreciation of the ruble against the U.S. dollar.
Now it is better to wait out the storm and avoid selling at a loss, nevertheless I won't even repurchase, as there may be a chance it's just the beginning of a fall.

Georgia may become one of the world's top mining centers in the future
Analysts claim already nearly 200 000 citizens are involved in crypto-mining in one way or another, and the global giant Bitfury has been successfully operating in the country for more than 5 years.
Experts highlight several key features for the future of the country's mining boom: not extra expensive electricity, environmentally friendly energy sources, sane regulation and not too high political risks.
Especially relevant at a time of mining in Kazakhstan β itβs not that tough to transport equipment to Georgia.
