🐋 Another ancient Bitcoin miner from 2010 has awakened and transferred 2000 BTC ($140,000,000) to an unknown wallet.

This is the second such "pensioner" to awaken from slumber in the last 10 days. Now that's what I call HODLers, to wait 10 years or more! 💪

🚀 ‘Asia’s MicroStrategy’ Soars to the Top of Japanese Stocks

🌐 Metaplanet, a Japan-based investment firm following MicroStrategy's Bitcoin (BTC) strategy, has become the highest gainer among all Japanese stocks, with its shares skyrocketing 158% over the last week.

👀 The share price surged to 93 Japanese yen, prompting the Tokyo Stock Exchange to halt trading twice in the past week due to the rapid rise. Currently nearing a $1 billion market cap, Metaplanet’s shares jumped 127% in just two days.

💲 Since announcing its Bitcoin investment strategy on April 8, Metaplanet has accumulated 117.7 BTC, now worth $7.2 million. This move has driven its stock up by 389%, aiming to hedge against Japan’s debt and weak yen.

✔️ Meanwhile, Bitcoin is up nearly 190% against the Japanese yen over the last 12 months and hit new ATH few day ago.

Ethereum surpasses $3900 amid anticipation of possible ETF launch

🇺🇸 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has begun discussing Form S-1 in applications for the registration of spot Ethereum ETFs. This is reported by The Block, citing sources.

👤 The insider added that he does not expect the approval process to be canceled but remains cautious.

📈 Amid the news, the price of Ethereum surpassed the $3900 mark. Over the week, the asset added 31.7%, 🤷 outperforming Bitcoin, which increased by only 5.6%.

👀 For full approval of an ETH ETF, the regulator must first approve Form 19b-4, after which the registration statements on Form S-1 must take effect.

🗒 On May 20, the media reported that the agency asked potential issuers to update Form 19b-4. Today, May 23, is the deadline for considering requests from VanEck and Grayscale.

🕵️‍♂️ Bloomberg exchange analyst Eric Balchunas suggested that the SEC might publish a notice around 4:00 PM GMT-4 (8:00 PM UTC).

Will TON be listed on Binance soon? 🧐

New tokens have been discovered in Binance exchange wallets, and it turns out to be your beloved Toncoin. 🤩

⚡️ The spot Ethereum ETF has been approved!

Bloomberg confirms the approval of the Ethereum ETF but has not yet seen the document on the SEC's website - citing a very reliable source (PhoenixTrades).

Initially, the SEC postponed the decision on launching the spot Ethereum ETF for several hours.

Ethereum immediately reacted, dropping sharply down to $3500. However, it has already managed to fully recover its position on the positive news and is now trading around $3900.

To the moon? 🚀

Main Points about Ethereum ETF

🗒 Form 19b-4 has been approved for all 9 issuers on the list of candidates for launching an ETF.

Next, the S-1 form needs to be agreed upon and approved before the ETFs can start publicly trading on the stock market. 🧐

Bloomberg Analyst: Approval of the S-1 form may take a couple of weeks, but it could take longer! Only then will the Ethereum ETF start trading.

Eric Balchunas: It is quite possible that the S-1 form will be approved (and Ethereum ETF trading will begin) by mid-June. But this is just an assumption.

👀 Other authoritative figures have expressed opinions on whether Ethereum should be considered a security:

Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase: The SEC has officially recognized ETH as a "commodity" by approving spot Ethereum ETFs.

Cinneamhain Ventures: The SEC's decision on the ETF means that most other tokens, in addition to ETH, are also NOT "securities."

ConsenSys: ETH is NOT a "security," a fact signaled by the SEC's decision on the ETF.

Total Stablecoin Capitalization Exceeds $160 Billion

💰 The combined market capitalization of stablecoins has surpassed the $160 billion mark.

📈 This increase signifies the influx of "new money" into the segment and a growing demand for stablecoins, according to analysts at Nansen. They believe this is a 🐂 bullish factor.

👀 Experts at Coin98 noted that since the beginning of the year, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has increased by $30 billion. Specifically: USDT — +$19.7 billion, USDC — +$8.7 billion.

🥇 In the segment, USDT from Tether remains the leader with a capitalization exceeding $110 billion. The corresponding figure for USDC is $32.5 billion. In third place is DAI from MakerDAO with $5.2 billion.

The World's Oldest Weekly Magazine Considers Bitcoin a "Threat"

▪️Bitcoin is a classic zero-sum game.

▪️Bitcoin is a technical reimagining of a Ponzi scheme.

US House of Representatives Supports Bill Against CBDC

🇺🇸 The US House of Representatives has passed a bill prohibiting the Federal Reserve (Fed) from issuing Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) without congressional approval, as announced by House Republican Leader Tom Emmer.

🗞 The bill was passed with 216 votes in favor and 192 against.

👀 According to the bill, the government can issue a CBDC "only with the permission of Congress." Emmer emphasized that the digital dollar should not be used like e-CNY and must be open and not a surveillance tool.

✋The Fed is prohibited from using CBDC for implementing monetary policy and economic control.

✔️ Since 2021, Emmer has advocated for the digital dollar design to exclude the possibility of financial oversight over citizens.

Bitcoin Flag on Top of the World!

💪 23-year-old crypto entrepreneur Dadwan Yusuf unfurled a flag with the logo of the first cryptocurrency at the summit of Everest, the highest point on Earth. 🏔

Well, the top of the world is a fitting place for Bitcoin! But it is definitely not its peak in terms of its price.😉

Altseason is near!

📉 Bitcoin's market dominance has broken downward from an ascending wedge, potentially heading towards 45%, signaling the approach of altcoin season.

This scenario seems logical if:

▪️ BTC consolidates in the $60k-$70k range.

▪️ The SEC does not delay the start of trading for an Ethereum ETF, boosting ETH and pulling up altcoins

📊 A trader predicts a sharp surge to $100k after BTC finishes its consolidation. This event could accelerate the growth of altcoins, as they gain strength after Bitcoin hits a new ATH 💸

Bloomberg: FTX Concludes Sale of SOL at Below Market Prices

🏦 The bankrupt exchange FTX has completed a series of auctions selling $2.6 billion worth of Solana (SOL) tokens at significant discounts to market prices, according to Bloomberg.

👀 Sources indicate that Figure Markets participated in the auction and purchased a lot of 800,000 SOL at approximately $108 per token. On the market, the token trades near $167.

💲 During the auction, an undisclosed amount of the asset was purchased by Pantera Capital, though sources declined to reveal any figures. Earlier this year, media reported that Pantera Capital had specifically raised $250 million to buy SOL from FTX.

The tokens owned by the exchange are subject to a four-year vesting period, but gradual unlocking will begin in a few months. 🧐

Coinbase Pushes to Appeal SEC Case, Citing FIT21 Vote

📰 Coinbase is making another attempt to appeal a judge's decision in its case against the SEC, citing recent congressional developments.

🇺🇸 The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) with a 279-136 vote, showing bipartisan support. This bill limits the SEC's authority over crypto, favoring the Commodity Futures Trading Commission instead.

✔️ Coinbase argues this legislative move highlights a disagreement over the SEC's jurisdiction. They aim to challenge whether the SEC can regulate digital asset transactions as "investment contracts" without formal contracts. The SEC opposes this appeal.
