Weekend Roundup May 31 - June 6

Weekend Roundup May 31 - June 6

It’s our weekly roundup. Let’s dive into what caught our attention over the past week.


First up, let's talk about Sarah's new nails – a rainbow of colors. She’s got her own unique style going, and it’s honestly the simplest nails she's ever done. When I asked if she did them herself or went to a Korean salon, she surprised me by saying she goes to a Russian one. Always full of surprises, Sarah.


Anyway, let’s get into the news. On Friday, Sarah highlighted PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, launching on Solana. Previously limited to Ethereum, this move could boost their market dominance despite their current low market share. Sarah’s skepticism about the need for another stablecoin, given the dominance of USDT, USDC, and DAI, made for a great discussion. With Tether reporting a $6.2 billion profit in 2023, it’s clear there’s big money in stablecoins.


On Monday, Sarah passed the mic to me to cover Biden’s veto of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, which was a guidance on crypto custody by companies. Congress felt the SEC overstepped, but Biden backed the SEC, signaling potential anti-crypto sentiments. This move seemed more about supporting his appointed SEC chair rather than a direct stance against crypto. It’s a classic case of office politics in action.


Tuesday was all about Roaring Kitty, the man behind the GameStop frenzy. He revealed he holds over $200 million in GameStop shares, causing the stock to surge 48%. This raised questions about market manipulation, but as Sarah and I discussed, it’s more about his influence and less about any foul play.


By Wednesday, Bitcoin was back in the spotlight, crossing $71,000 with $880 million in ETF inflows. Fidelity, BlackRock, and ARK were major players, while Grayscale saw outflows. We debated the potential for Bitcoin’s value, with predictions ranging from conservative to wildly optimistic. The real question is, can the market sustain these high valuations?


Finally, on Thursday, we discussed the innovative vision of Carl Pei and the Nothing Phone. Pei’s idea of integrating AI deeply into our phone usage could revolutionize how we interact with technology. The challenge will be balancing convenience with privacy concerns, as AI would need significant access to personal data to function effectively.


That’s a wrap for this week’s review. Thanks for tuning in, and we’ll see you next time. Happy HODLing!

Next, Avitrum surpassed $150 billion in transaction volume on Uniswap. Is this good news for Avitrum? Investment firm Vaneck has created a meme coin index using six different meme coins, and while it's just for fun, it's worth trying out as an actual investment strategy.

May 9: The SEC is Unhinged

May 9: The SEC is Unhinged

This week's developments in the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence arenas highlight a series of engagements, controversies, and innovative uses impacting the sectors. Robinhood has proactively met with the SEC 16 times in a bid to foster transparency and compliance, as stated by their CEO. These meetings underline the complexities of navigating financial regulations for crypto-related services. In contrast, Binance faced criticism for dismissing an investigator who allegedly uncovered market manipulation by one of its clients, DWF Labs, which raises concerns about the integrity and oversight within cryptocurrency markets.On a more cultural note, AI has dramatically influenced the music industry by intensifying the rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, showcasing AI's growing role in creative content generation and its impact on the entertainment industry. Politically, former President Trump has reiterated his support for cryptocurrency at an NFT event, linking crypto advocacy to his political campaign and influencing meme coin markets. His explicit endorsement and subsequent appearance at a crypto event led to a surge in Trump and Biden-themed meme coin prices, indicating how political figures can sway market dynamics significantly. These events collectively paint a vivid picture of how technology, politics, and market governance are increasingly intertwined, influencing public perception and investment behaviors in the digital age.________https://substack.com/@dcndailycryptonewsNews Links 👇https://decrypt.co/230035/robinhood-met-with-sec-16-times-in-good-faith-ceohttps://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/05/09/binance-fired-investigator-who-uncovered-market-manipulation-at-client-dwf-labs-wsj/https://decrypt.co/229948/how-ai-supercharged-drake-kendrick-lamar-rap-beefhttps://decrypt.co/230023/trump-supports-crypto-at-nft-event-boden-meme-coinhttps://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2024/05/if-youre-in-favor-of-crypto-youd-better-vote-for-trump-says-the-former-u-s-president/https://decrypt.co/230029/trump-biden-meme-coin-prices-surge-after-ex-presidents-meeting-with-nft-holders———***NOT FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR TAX ADVICE!

May 8: GOP or Dems Better for Crypto?

A significant development for former FTX users is that 98% of the creditors are set to receive about 118% of their claims, marking a notable step towards resolving the fallout from the FTX collapse. This payout is critical for restoring trust in the crypto exchange ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Japanese crypto exchange Coincheck has successfully completed its listing on Nasdaq, a move that highlights the growing integration of cryptocurrency businesses within mainstream financial markets and potentially opens up new avenues for investor engagement.In other news, the privacy-focused Monero exchange, LocalMonero, is winding down its operations, signaling the challenges facing platforms that emphasize anonymity, especially amidst increasing regulatory scrutiny. In the realm of political betting, odds on platforms like Polymarket are showing an interesting shift with Michelle Obama and RFK Jr. emerging as significant figures in the presidential race speculation, reflecting public interest in diverse political outcomes and their potential impact on markets including cryptocurrencies. Additionally, a resolution in the U.S. House could affect how crypto custodians are regulated, pointing to ongoing legislative efforts to define and stabilize the crypto custody sector. Lastly, a report by Standard Chartered speculates that a Trump victory over Biden could be favorable for Bitcoin, indicating how presidential elections might influence cryptocurrency valuations.

May 6: Stablecoin Transaction Volume Fake?

May 6: Stablecoin Transaction Volume Fake?

Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF has seen inflows for the first time since its January debut, indicating a possible resurgence of investor interest in cryptocurrency as an investment vehicle. This shift could suggest a broader trend of returning confidence in the stability and potential of digital assets. On the regulatory front, a new report claims that less than 10% of stablecoin transaction volume originates from "real users," raising questions about the actual utility and market manipulation within the stablecoin segment, which might prompt closer scrutiny by regulators concerned about transparency and fair trading practices.Additionally, the Bitcoin network has reached a monumental benchmark, surpassing one billion transactions. This achievement not only underscores Bitcoin's robustness and enduring appeal but also highlights its significant role as a foundational technology in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. These developments collectively reflect the dynamic and evolving nature of the cryptocurrency market, characterized by investor re-engagement, regulatory challenges, and technological milestones that continue to shape the industry's landscape.________https://substack.com/@dcndailycryptonewsNews Links 👇https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/05/04/grayscales-bitcoin-etf-sees-inflow-for-first-time-since-january-debut/?_gl=1*a9tbjm*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTA0OTk5Mjk0Ni4xNzE1MDAwMjc5*_ga_VM3STRYVN8*MTcxNTAwMDI3OC4xLjAuMTcxNTAwMDI3OC4wLjAuMjEwMzkzOTU0Mw..https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2024/05/06/less-than-10-of-stablecoin-transaction-volume-coming-from-real-users-report/https://forkast.news/bitcoin-network-surpasses-1-billion-transactions/———***NOT FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR TAX ADVICE!
