Bitcoin is priced at $71,000, Ethereum at $3,600.

🚀 On the night of May 20th to 21st, the cryptocurrency market experienced a vigorous recovery! Digital gold increased by more than 6% in a day, and Ether by 17%.

📈 It seems that Ethereum was the driver, given its incredible one-time surge yesterday, with one candle jumping from $3,100 to $3,400.

🥳 This happened after Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart published a tweet about the increased probability of spot ETH-ETF approval in May from 25% to 75%.

💪 Currently, ETH is trading around $3,600, having crossed the $3,700 mark.

What do you think will happen sooner? Ethereum to reach $4000 - 👍, Bitcoin to reach new ATH - 🔥.

Latest news around Ethereum and potential approval of spot ETFs:

▪️Open interest in Ethereum futures contracts is at a record high of $14.83 B. This surge in interest signals a strong market confidence in Ethereum’s future performance

▪️CryptoQuant recorded an ATH demand for long positions on Ethereum, with $530 M in just a few minutes. This unprecedented demand highlights the growing bullish sentiment among traders

▪️The SEC is asking exchanges to update their 19b-4 filings for Ethereum ETFs on an expedited basis. Potential issuers also need to approve their S-1 filings before the products can start trading. This could indicate that the regulatory body is moving closer to approving Ethereum ETFs

▪️The Director of Research at Galaxy stated that the SEC may acknowledge that Ethereum itself is not a security, while staked ETH is considered one. If this differentiation is officially recognized, it could have profound implications for how Ethereum and its staking are regulated and perceived by the market

Gala Games Hacked for ~$200 Million

🤠 An unknown hacker breached the Gala Games project and minted 5 billion GALA tokens worth approximately $236 million.

🙀 The hacker managed to exchange GALA for 5913 ETH (not bad considering its price now huh? 😁)

Later, Gala Games froze the hacker's wallet. The hacker still holds 4.4 billion GALA worth $186 million 🧐.

👀 The company is currently in communication with the FBI, the U.S. Department of Justice, and other authorities.

Another analyst from the Ethereum Foundation, Dankrad Feist, announced that he has become a consultant for Eigenlayer and acknowledged that he will announced 💰 a large number of $EIGEN tokens.

😁 He stated that he still believes restaking carries significant risk but may bring benefits to individual stakers.

Yesterday, Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation also revealed his role as a consultant for EigenLayer. 🧐

So, how many secret consultants for Eigenlayer are among you? 😄

The owner of the Incognito Market drug market was detained in the USA

👮On May 18, New York law enforcement arrested 23-year-old Taiwanese citizen Rui-Xiang Lin, the alleged mastermind behind the largest darknet drug marketplace, Incognito Market.

🚨Operating as Pharoah and faro, Lin ran the market from October 2020 to March 2024, facilitating the sale of at least 364 kg of cocaine, 295 kg of meth, and 92 kg of MDMA. Sellers paid up to 5% of each sale, and the platform even had its own "bank" for crypto transactions.

🙈 Lin’s lucrative empire raked in over $100 million, with him pocketing millions. As the kingpin, he controlled everything—employees, suppliers, customers, and final decisions.

👀 Now, Lin faces multiple charges, including drug possession and sale, conspiracy, and money laundering, with a potential life sentence on one count alone.

Bitcoin ranks 9th in market capitalization among all global assets!

👀 Ethereum, meanwhile, is in 26th place.

For Bitcoin to enter the top 5, it needs to be priced at $111,000. 😍

Like 👍 if you think this will happen this year!

When I decided to fix a profit on the crypto market 🤣

Fidelity Removes Staking Clause from Its Ethereum ETF

🗒 Fidelity has amended its S-1 filing for the spot Ethereum ETF, specifically removing the clause about ETH staking.

✏️ This aligns with previous information suggesting that the SEC may recognize that Ethereum itself is not a security, while staked ETH is considered one.

👀 It seems the chances of Ethereum ETFs being approved in May are increasing daily. Previously, ARK 21Shares also made a similar change. The SEC has a deadline of May 23 and 24 to decide on ETF applications from VanEck and ARK Invest.

Are you ready for the Ethereum rally? 🚀

📈 With the crypto market on the rise, the "Fear and Greed Index" has shifted into the "Extreme Greed" zone – indicating that people are eager to buy crypto.

Hmm, is it time to sell? 🤔

Hype Around Potential Ethereum Approval is Growing

👀 In Twitter reports that Standard Chartered predicts the approval of spot ETFs for Ethereum this week, with an influx of $45 billion in capital over the year.

📝 Additionally, there is information about an SEC request to NASDAQ and CBOE exchanges to make amendments to their ETF applications.

✔️ There are increasing arguments in favor of approval, but let's not lose our heads. The Bitcoin ETF saga was full of fakes, and this could repeat. 🧐 In case of a positive decision, ETH could break the $4,000 price ceiling and easily reach 🚀 $5,000 on momentum. However, if the ETH ETF is rejected, Ethereum's price could fall back to the $3,000 level or even lower.

Hacker Returns Stolen ETH to Gala Games!

Former Gala Games President Jason Brink announced that the hacker has returned the stolen ETH.

The unknown individual transferred 5913 ETH back to the compromised address.

Today is Bitcoin Pizza Day!

🍕 Exactly 14 years ago, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.

At that time, he spent just ~$40, but now those BTC are valued at $700 million. 🤷

The transaction of 10,000 BTC for pizza delivery went down in history not only for its shortsighted nature but also because it became the first commercial transaction in Bitcoin history. Before that, no one had purchased goods or services with cryptocurrency. 🧐

How much do you think these two pizzas will be worth in a year?

▪️$1 billion - 👍
▪️$2 billion - 🔥
▪️ Less than today - 🤯
▪️ I don't like pizza, I don't care 😎

SEC Labels Liquidity Pool Tokens as Securities!

🦄 Uniswap Labs has responded to a Wells Notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stating that it does not qualify as an exchange and therefore cannot be regulated by the SEC.

👀 According to the company, the protocol is a passive technology and was not designed for trading securities.

✔️ The firm also revealed that the SEC, in its Wells Notice, labeled the Uniswap wallet as an unregistered broker and the liquidity pool tokens as securities.

The ticker for VanEck's spot Ethereum ETF has appeared on the DTCC website!

🏢 The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) handles clearing for NASDAQ trades.

👀 The DTCC list includes both active and potential ETFs (there is NO 100% guarantee of listing).

However, before the listing of spot Bitcoin ETFs, their tickers also appeared on the DTCC site — this is part of the ETF market launch process.🧐

🤷 It seems that the abandonment of staking is a key condition for the launch of the Ethereum ETF:

▪️ Valkyrie (already an issuer of a spot Bitcoin ETF) decided not to apply for a spot Ethereum ETF, citing the staking ban as the reason.

▪️Grayscale also removed staking in their updated application for a spot Ethereum ETF.

Joe Biden Enters the Race for the Attention of the Crypto Community! - TheBlock

Two weeks ago, the SEC was against the Ethereum ETF, but suddenly there was a 180-degree turn. 🧐

This is likely a political decision, as the current president and the Democratic Party desperately need the votes of the younger generation in the upcoming presidential elections.

The Biden administration's stance on cryptocurrency seems to be softening. The US Senate voted to repeal "SAB 121".

👀 Biden is shifting his aggressive rhetoric towards the crypto industry to a more friendly tone . The Ethereum ETF is the first sign of this. He doesn't want to lose voters in a tough race for the presidency.

Meanwhile, Trump has started accepting donations in crypto 😁

The net inflow of ETH to crypto exchanges yesterday was 81,840 ETH ($306 million) – the highest since January 23, 2024.

🐃 ETH is experiencing the most bullish sentiment from the crowd since September of last year. Sentiment in BTC and SOL is slightly bearish, according to Santiment

46% of BTC trading volume in 2024 occurred during US market hours - this may be a consequence of the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs trading on US exchanges.
