๐ Standard Chartered predicts Bitcoin could reach new highs by August, potentially hitting $100,000 by the U.S. presidential election in November.
Geoffrey Kendrick, head of forex and digital assets research, anticipates a fresh all-time high for Bitcoin in August, contingent on Joe Biden remaining in the race. ๐
Kendrick suggests a positive correlation between Bitcoin's price and the electoral prospects of Donald Trump, whom he views as favorable for Bitcoin due to potential regulatory and mining policies.
๐คท However, if Biden exits, Kendrick speculates a dip to $50,000-$55,000, highlighting August 4 as a pivotal date. Kendrick maintains bullish long-term forecasts, aiming for $150,000 by year-end 2024 and $200,000 by 2025.
๐ It's worth noting that after Joe Biden's widely recognized poor debate performance, the odds of him withdrawing from the election race have sharply increased. Betting markets on Polymarket now estimate this possibility at 60%!

๐ The most common way cryptocurrency users were scammed was through the honeypot scheme. ๐ฏ๐งธ In this scheme, investors are lured into buying useless and illiquid assets that cannot be sold. ๐คท
Scammers create a smart contract and entice victims with promises of high returns, aggressively pushing them to buy. After purchasing the asset, users see the price rising and are in no rush to sell.
However, when they eventually decide to sell, they discover that selling the tokens is impossible. The scammer then withdraws the victims' funds. Even experienced investors often fail to recognize honeypot schemes. ๐ค

Mt Gox Wallets Make Bitcoin Moves Ahead of Repayments
๐ Arkham Intelligence reports minor transactions from Mt Gox wallets just before the scheduled $9 billion bitcoin repayments. Over the past few hours, three wallets associated with the defunct exchange moved small amounts, with the largest being just $24 worth of bitcoin.
๐ One intermediary wallet, previously consolidated with significant funds, sent $24 to Bitbank's hot wallet, with the rest moved to a new wallet. Bitbank is among the five exchanges designated to handle Mt Gox repayments, including Kraken, Bitstamp, SBI VC Trade, and Bitgo.
๐ฐ These repayments won't be directly to bitcoin holders but through these exchanges, which will make the funds available to their customers within up to 90 days.
Given the minor amount transferred, it's unclear if this was a test for larger transactions. The trustee announced repayments would start from early July, but exact dates remain unknown. ๐ง
