    Avalanche Shooter 'Off the Grid' Becomes Top Free Title on Epic Games Store

    Following the early access release of Off the Grid earlier this week, the Avalanche-based battle royale shooter is rising the ranks of the Epic Game Store.

    Wall Street Is on a Bull Run—It’s Nothing Compared to Bitcoin

    As the S&P 500 rose to a record high Friday, a bull market in U.S. equities was set to mark its two-year anniversary. Though enthusiasm has been muddled in the crypto market for months, the window also shines a light on just how much Bitcoin has gained during that span. As highlighted in Opening Bell Daily, a financial newsletter, the S&P 500 has climbed more than 60% to around 5,800 points since a bear market in equities petered out two years ago. Over the same period of time, however, Bitcoin’...

  • FTX Exec Ryan Salame Headed to Prison After Tucker Carlson Video Derails 'Dog Bite' Claim

    Former FTX executive Ryan Salame was given hours to report to prison Friday, ordered to surrender after U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan questioned his ongoing dog-bite narrative. Earlier this week, Salame asked for more time to receive medical treatment, stating that he is still recovering from injuries sustained alongside a dog bite in June. When he first asked the court for a postponement months ago, that request was granted, delaying Salame’s scheduled surrender. In U.S. District Judge Lewis...

    Ripple Labs Files Cross-Appeal as Battle With SEC Rages On

    Fintech company Ripple Labs moved Thursday to cross-appeal a federal judge’s decision in its years-long legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over XRP sales. In a one-sentence filing, Ripple informed the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that the firm would appeal a ruling delivered by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in August. The case will move to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Judge Torres ordered the San Francisco-based f...

    FBI Made a Profit From Ethereum Token Created to Catch Fraudsters

    The most discussed coin on Crypto Twitter over the past day arguably isn’t Bitcoin or some novel asset rocketing to new heights—it's an Ethereum token created by the FBI to catch scammers, and one that made the agency a profit before trading was disabled. The Department of Justice (DOJ) unveiled a sweeping criminal case against 14 individuals and four crypto firms Wednesday. Gotbit, ZM Quant, CLS Global, and MyTrade were all accused of misconduct related to market manipulation—inflating tokens’...

    To Doxx or Not to Doxx: Crypto Sleuth Reignites Fiery Debate

    Crypto Twitter was engulfed in a familiar debate Wednesday, with many traders and industry participants conflicted about whether the pseudonymous blockchain sleuth ZachXBT had possibly wronged a meme coin booster. After delivering a 20-minute speech at a crypto conference in Singapore weeks ago, Murad Mahmudov has recently gone viral for predicting a “Meme Coin Supercycle,” turning him into something of a “main character” on Twitter with a growing reach.

    Bitcoin Holders Lock Up $1.4 Billion as Babylon Staking Expands

    The Bitcoin staking protocol Babylon pulled in roughly 23,000 BTC on Tuesday during its second staking round—a much larger sum than the first wave, and a much smoother experience for network users since Bitcoin fees did not surge this time around. Babylon co-founder and Stanford University professor David Tse, who helped launch the staking startup’s mainnet six weeks ago, told Decrypt that the round dubbed Cap-2 went “pretty well.” Having users delegate $1.4 billion in Bitcoin to the protocol wa...

    Meme Coin Trader Who Turned $800 Into $10 Million Roundtrips Unreal Gains

    When a meme coin based on a viral baby hippo in Thailand notches dizzying gains, those fortunes can melt away rather quickly. Simply look at an anonymous trader on Solana who has round-tripped millions of dollars in value these past few days. It’s the kind of luck that degens dream of: After investing $800 in Moo Deng, an allotment of 30.2 million tokens had swelled to $7.5 million in value late last month. The value of those tokens peaked at just over $10 million on September 28 when the price...

    Crypto Betting Has Turned HBO's Satoshi Nakamoto Reveal Into a 'Sporting Event': Director

    An HBO documentary dubbed “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery” will soon try to answer the longstanding question of Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity. And as its debut approaches, the hype has been heightened by a bevy of on-chain speculation, according to director Cullen Hoback. “Polymarket turned 'Money Electric' into a sporting event,” Hoback told Decrypt in a statement Monday. “Even I’m refreshing the betting pool to see how high the total volume gets.” Wallets linked to Bitcoin’s creator still h...

    Moo Deng Knockoff Skyrockets as Ethereum Creator Vitalik Buterin Sells 10 Billion Tokens

    Vitalik Buterin boosted the profile of a meme coin based on Moo Deng—the viral baby pygmy hippo from Thailand—on Monday, selling billions of the Ethereum tokens for a charitable cause. And that led to the price of the asset skyrocketing, even if it's still currently playing second fiddle to the better-known Moo Deng coin on Solana. The Ethereum co-founder said on Twitter (aka X) that he had swapped a substantial sum of the Ethereum-based meme coin to fund “anti-airborne-disease tech.” Meanwhile,...

    Why Bitwise Is Combining Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Into a ‘Momentum’ Fund

    Asset manager Bitwise is streamlining three of its futures-based crypto ETFs, set to fold the products into a single offering in December, according to documents filed Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Dubbed the Bitwise Trendwise Bitcoin and Treasuries Rotation Strategy ETF, the fund’s strategy entails periodically shifting exposure between Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts and assets like U.S. Treasuries. Those changes are motivated by “a proprietary signal,”...

    The price of Bitcoin climbed higher Friday, rising over 3% to a daily high above $62,300 earlier after a blowout jobs report helped assuage fears of an imminent economic slowdown in the U.S.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that employers added 254,000 jobs in September, far surpassing economists’ expectations of 140,000 jobs gained. Meanwhile, employment data was revised up for July and August, painting a rosier picture of labor conditions that had supposedly weakened as the Fede...

    The price of Bitcoin wavered Tuesday as dozens of missiles descended on Israel, according to news reports. The U.S. had warned earlier that a ballistic missile strike from Iran was being prepared against the foreign ally. Later, the Iranian Mission to the United Nations said on Twitter (aka X) that Tehran's response “has been duly carried out.” Bitcoin’s price fell 3.2% to $61,300 amid the volley, hitting its lowest price in two weeks, though it has ticked back up to $62,200 as of this writing....

    Why Tornado Cash Co-Founder Roman Storm’s Free Speech Defense Was Rejected in Court

    Code is protected speech? Not so fast, a U.S. district judge ruled last week in the high-profile case around Ethereum coin mixer Tornado Cash. Judge Katherine Polk Failla rejected developer Roman Storm’s motion to dismiss his case in the Southern District of New York last Thursday. Over a year after the Tornado Cash co-founder was arrested on money-laundering charges, Failla ruled that his case could proceed to trial. While Failla found that Storm had been adequately charged, Storm argued in his...

Speaking at a conference held by the National Association for Business Economics, Powell discussed how the U.S. labor market has remained solid as inflation cools.
