πŸš€ Austria's $16 Million Crypto And Real Estate Ponzi Scheme Leads To Sentencing

According to PANews, a $16 million cryptocurrency and real estate Ponzi scheme in Austria has resulted in the sentencing of five individuals. The scheme defrauded 40,000 victims, with the perpetrators spending large sums on luxury cars, private jets, nightclubs, and even a shark tank. The case, tried over 60 days in the Klagenfurt Regional Court, is one of Austria's largest fraud cases to date. Eleven suspects from Austria, Croatia, and Italy were involved, including the 24-year-old stepson of an unnamed celebrity, who reportedly spent €100,000 (approximately $108,000) on sex services. Police revealed that the criminal group used plastic bags to transport cash, hid money in shoeboxes, and transferred funds through crypto platforms, making it extremely difficult to trace the money. Currently, five suspects have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from 18 months to five years, while five others have been acquitted.

πŸš€ Crypto Market Sees Second-Largest Liquidation Day In October

According to Cointelegraph, crypto bulls who anticipated a continued market rise experienced the second-largest day of liquidations in October. The market has now stabilized after Bitcoin's drop affected the prices of major cryptocurrencies. On October 23, total crypto liquidations reached $261 million, with over $203.5 million coming from long bets. This is second only to the $450.8 million worth of crypto longs liquidated on October 1 when Bitcoin (BTC) dropped by around 5%, according to CoinGlass data.

Ether (ETH) long bets faced the biggest liquidation, with over $77 million wiped out in the last 24 hours, followed by approximately $58.3 million in Bitcoin call options. Traders were optimistic that Bitcoin could continue to rise as its price neared $70,000 on October 21, its highest in three months. However, it failed to sustain momentum and fell to a low of $65,500 on October 23 before recovering to $67,386, up 0.5% over 24 hours.

ETH posted the biggest loss among the top ten cryptocurrencies, down 1.7% on the day to $2,552, falling from a 24-hour high of $2,620. It had climbed to a two-month high of $2,750 on October 21 before its decline. Onchain data indicates that Ethereum's high transaction fees are discouraging activity on the blockchain, reducing the demand for ETH staking and potentially dampening investor optimism.

Despite Bitcoin's volatile day, institutional investors remained undeterred. The 11 United States-based spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a joint net inflow on October 23, as reported by CoinGlass. The funds collectively saw $198.5 million in net inflows, driven by a $323.6 million inflow to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT). However, this was offset by outflows of $99 million and $25.2 million from the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), respectively.

The US Bitcoin ETFs experienced a seven-trading day inflow streak from October 11 to October 21, during which nearly $2.7 billion was added to the funds. However, an $87.9 million net outflow on October 22 broke the streak.

πŸš€ Beige Book Fuels Speculation Of Fed Rate Cuts In November And December

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin has surged above $67,000 following the Federal Reserve's latest Beige Book survey, which presented a subdued economic outlook and strengthened the case for potential rate cuts in the coming months.

The Beige Book report, released on Wednesday, indicated that nine out of twelve regional banks reported stagnant or slightly weak economic activity since early September. The report highlighted a decline in manufacturing activity and signs of moderation in consumer demand across most districts.

Inflation, or the cost of living, showed signs of moderation as selling prices increased slightly or modestly in most districts. Employment saw a slight increase, with hiring primarily focused on replacement rather than growth. Additionally, several districts noted slower wage increases.

Overall, the sluggish economic outlook contrasts with the hotter-than-expected September jobs report, paving the way for further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Bitcoin has rebounded from overnight lows under $53,500 to trade 1% higher at $67,300 at press time. Meanwhile, the dollar index (DXY) rally has stalled, pulling back to 104.30 from an overnight high of 104.57, according to TradingView data.

ForexLive noted that the Beige Book comments captured market attention and solidified the belief that another 25 basis points cut is likely in November, with a high chance of an additional cut in December. The dollar's turn was observed across the board following the report.

Several Federal Reserve officials, including Chairman Jerome Powell, cited the Beige Book's dour outlook as a reason for cutting the benchmark borrowing cost by 50 basis points to the 4.75%-5% range in September. Markets quickly priced in an additional 75 basis points of easing by the year's end. However, these hopes were tempered by the upbeat September jobs data and the hotter-than-expected September inflation report.

πŸš€ Vitalik Buterin Proposes Selective Gas Fee Reductions for Ethereum

According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts on the X platform regarding gas fee reductions. Buterin suggested a deep yet selective approach to lowering gas fees, aiming to enhance the network's efficiency without compromising critical metrics.

Buterin proposed reducing the gas costs for all EVM opcodes currently in the 2-5 range to 1 and those in the 6-10 range to 2. Additionally, he recommended decreasing the gas cost of log operations by four times and lowering the gas costs for precompiled contracts, except for those planned for deprecation. He believes that these changes could potentially increase the transactions per second (TPS) by 1.5 times without negatively impacting key worst-case scenario metrics such as calldata size and IO.
