And what these potentially informed investors have been up to in the last day or so has been acquiring, in a non-negligible way, a number of tokens that are tied to some rather particular trends: meme tokens, artificial intelligence (AI) tokens, and gold-backed crypto assets. The Rise of Memecoins and AI Tokens Smart money wallets have become much more active in the space of memecoins, especially over the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin Market Sees Massive Liquidations as Bearish Momentum Drives $2.57B in Short Liquidations

The #Bitcoin Exchange Liquidation Map for the past week shows a stunning amount of liquidations in the cryptocurrency market. Long liquidations came in at an astounding $887.96 million, while short liquidations were even higher at an incredible $2.57 billion. This huge imbalance indicates that traders are predominantly placing bearish bets and that, if anything, the downtrend in the market is being intensified. https://twitter.com/CoinEdition/status/1905997878310351044?t=nS9pmo_QPLd-ssTiUBFtMA&s=19 The liquidations occur as Bitcoin and the larger cryptocurrency market keep having a downturn that seems never-ending, which is causing traders who are on the wrong side of the market a whole lot of grief. Long traders have suffered some relatively huge liquidations, but it's the short traders who have taken the biggest hits. And here's where it gets juicy: the liquidation charts for short traders, which are reaching record levels, suggest that even the traders who […]

Michael Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital Settles Lawsuit Over Alleged LUNA Price Manipulation for $200 Million

The firm at the heart of the suit, Galaxy Digital, has reached a settlement over allegations that it manipulated the price of the LUNA cryptocurrency. In a lawsuit filed by the state of New York, it was charged that Galaxy Digital engaged in activities that helped to artificially inflate the price of LUNA in 2020—a boom that helped enrich Novogratz personally, as his firm’s assets were heavily invested in the revelatory altcoin. The state sought $500 million in damages; under the just-announced terms of the settlement, Galaxy will pay $200 million and concede no wrongdoing.

Nasdaq Seeks SEC Approval for Grayscale’s Avalanche Spot ETF, Marking a Milestone for Crypto Adoption

A significant move for the cryptocurrency world has been made by Nasdaq, which has applied to list Grayscale's Avalanche Trust ETF. This step could bring cryptocurrencies further into the mainstream, but it requires the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to give a green light. If approved, the Avalanche Trust would move from being a futures ETF to becoming a spot ETF, which is a much more effective product for both Grayscale and the investors in and around the crypto markets. https://twitter.com/SwftCoin/status/1905640343288131658?t=nV1upWNkC5IFMYpjQr1NYw&s=19 The Potential Impact of Grayscale’s Avalanche ETF Leading digital asset manager Grayscale has been a pioneer in offering investment products tied to cryptocurrencies. Its latest move, an ETF tied directly to Avalanche's $AVAX token, could be a step toward much-touted but still elusive mainstream adoption of actual cryptocurrencies themselves in the financial markets.

Hyperliquid Blockchain Upgrade: Empowering Decentralized Delisting via Onchain Validator Voting

In a major move to bolster the governance of the Hyperliquid network, an important upgrade has been made that brings fully onchain validator voting for asset delisting to the Hyperliquid blockchain. This mechanism represents a significant shift in how asset delisting decisions are made on the network—moving from offchain coordination to a transparent, direct-to-chain process that is decentralized and, one hopes, somewhat more democratic. The upgrade was included in an addition called HyperCore. Hyperliquid's new assets voting system allows community and validator stakeholders to more directly control what assets are listed on Hyperliquid. It is a move toward genuine decentralization—a crucial trend if blockchain platforms are to avoid integrity crises. Meanwhile, as you might suspect from the above description of features, the new Hyperliquid governance system is also step No. 1 on the path toward tokenomics for the Hyperliquid platform. […]
