Due to its predictability, cryptocurrency investors often overlook Bitcoin (BTC) supply inflation. Understanding that predictable inflation still has economic effects can leverage investment results in this market. In particular, Finbold looked into Bitcoin’s supply inflation from a different perspective. We aimed to understand the practical effects of these economics and provide valuable insights for BTC holders. This is achieved by calculating the exact price Bitcoin would trade if it ever hits its highest market cap.

Each cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, has its unique economic structure. Notably, Bitcoin had an all -time high market cap of $1.302 trillion on November 10, 2021, according to TradingView ’s index. Meanwhile, BTC was trading for as high as $68,789, as registered by CoinMarketCa

Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart believes that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could approve all applications for the instrument at once in Jan. 2024. In his opinion, this is indicated by the collection of opinions on the application to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF by Franklin Templeton and Hashdex, meaning that every applicant needs to be lined up for potential approval by the Jan. 10, 2024 deadline. Okay. This delay on @hashdex all but confirms for me that this was likely a move to line every applicant up for potential approval by the Jan 10, 2024 deadline. https://t.co/ZKmVSOQExk — James Seyffart (@JSeyff) November 28, 2023 The expert posted an update on the filing noting that while the SEC was very early on the Franklin case, in fact, they were not supposed to make a different decision until Jan. 1. Additionally, it is notable that Franklin is the only issuer that has not yet filed an updated S-1. You might also like: Best crypto ETF by performance in 2

Traditional Web3 wallets, such as MetaMask, imToken, and TokenPocket, often operate independently of centralized trading platforms. However, with mainstream trading platforms introducing built-in Web3 wallets to seize future user traffic, the boundaries between centralized exchanges and decentralized Web3 are gradually becoming blurred. The launch of Web3 wallets by platforms like OKX and Binance signifies the integration of Centralized Finance (CeFi) and DeFi as an industry trend. However, while breaking down the barriers between on-chain and real-world assets, it also shortens the path for cryptocurrency criminal groups, reduces the cost of trust-building, and exacerbates fraud risks.

Hex and PulseChain founder Richard Heart was scheduled to appear in court via teleconference on Tuesday, November 28 as part of a billion-dollar lawsuit by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — but a Sunday filing says the SEC has yet to properly serve him.

According to the commission, Heart and PulseChain defrauded investors by misappropriating funds — using at least $12 million to buy personal luxuries. Heart, PulseX, and Pulsechain have also been accused of committing a variety of legal violations, including offering unregistered securities to US investors. Heart was meant to be served via the Ministry of Justice of Finland, since he resides in Helsinki. At press time, however, the SEC still hasn’t heard back. “To date, the Commission has not received confirmation of service of process on Defendants in Finland pursuant to the [Hague Service] Convention,” a recent filing by the SEC
