    NJ County Sells Bitcoin Seized in Drugs Bust for 250% Gains

    A county in New Jersey has liquidated Bitcoin seized over two years ago in a drugs bust, netting 250% profits.

    Korea’s Bitcoin Premium Returns After Falling to Zero

    Korea’s so-called Kimchi Premium has returned after falling to zero last week, with Bitcoin currently selling 6% higher in South Korea than in the rest of the world. The Kimchi Premium is the difference between the price of Bitcoin in Korean markets and the average price across all other countries. The reason behind this discrepancy is the tight Korean capital controls that make it hard to arbitrage the difference. A few weeks ago, the premium was as high as 22%, according to data from CryptoQu...

    More than 1,000 wealthy investors have accumulated large sums of Bitcoin over the last three months, wrote Chainalysis chief economist Philip Gradwell yesterday in his weekly market intelligence report. In the report, Gradwell used blockchain data to analyze the prices at which Bitcoin was bought and held. His analysis considered how long the investor held onto their Bitcoin after they acquired it. Gradwell found that, when Bitcoin was worth around $54,500, a group of 1,200 investors bought 450...

    Bitcoin’s Share of Crypto Market Drops to 51%

    It’s been a tough day in the cryptocurrency markets: Bitcoin’s price has fallen below $50,000 and almost every other cryptocurrency is deep in the red, too. Most coins are down between 10 and 30%. But beyond the current price crash, Bitcoin’s share of the cryptocurrency market has also fallen slightly. It’s part of a trend that’s persisted throughout the year: Bitcoin’s dominance has dropped from 69% at the start of the year to its current value of 51%—its lowest value since April 2019. While B...

    Citi Analyst: Bitcoin Could Lose Out to Other Digital Currencies

    While the digital asset industry is set to grow as a whole, Bitcoin could see its dominance decline over the next decade, according to an analyst at investment bank Citi. “Bitcoin’s value is going to be buffeted, is going to be affected by the usefulness of other cryptocurrencies,” Ronit Ghose, global head of banks at Citi, told Decrypt. Ghose’s comments come on the heels of Citi’s newly released "Future of Money" report. The report analyses how cryptocurrencies and fiat money might evolve in t...

    Would Coinbase Ever Launch a COIN Token?

    Coinbase went public last week, meaning retail investors can now buy its stock on the Nasdaq. Meanwhile, crypto enthusiasts can also buy tokenized versions of the stock on specialty exchanges like FTX and Binance—the token is backed by actual shares of the stock. But one thing would-be investors still can’t do is buy a tokenized version of the stock issued by Coinbase itself. This is a frustration for many: not only would a native Coinbase token delight crypto fans, but it would also improve li...
