První australský bitcoinový burzovně obchodovaný fond (ETF) na australské burze cenných papírů uzavřel svůj první den s objemem obchodů 1,3 milionu dolarů, což je zlomek debutu amerických bitcoinových ETF za 4,5 miliardy dolarů. Navzdory rozdílům ve velikosti trhu zůstává VanEck ohledně růstu ETF optimistický. Firma zaznamenala velký zájem ze strany retailových a profesionálních investorů. ETF, VBTC, otevřel na 13,24 USD a uzavřel na 13,34 USD s 96 476 zobchodovanými akciemi.

Podle údajů z IntoTheBlock rezervy bitcoinových těžařů dosáhly nejnižší úrovně za více než 14 let a 19. června klesly na 1,90 milionu BTC z 1,95 milionu BTC na začátku roku. Událost snížení na polovinu, která každé čtyři roky snižuje odměny za těžbu, vytváří tlak na marže těžařů, což je vede k výprodeji zásob. Navzdory poklesu držby bitcoinů zůstává dolarová hodnota těchto rezerv vysoká, což naznačuje, že těžaři se přizpůsobili měnícím se podmínkám na trhu. Odborníci předpovídají nárůst hashrate bitcoinu v roce 2025 po poklesu po polovičním snížení, protože výrobní náklady rostou kvůli klesajícím odměnám za bitcoiny a zvýšené konkurenci. Tento trend je považován za normální pro současnou tržní fázi, protože těžaři se přizpůsobují vyvíjejícímu se prostředí těžby kryptoměn.

V roce 2023 jsem se zúčastnil více než tuctu konferencí, včetně hostování některých jako MC se zaujatostí pro bitcoiny.

Tato událost zanechala trvalý dopad a podnítila úvahy o globálních problémech a síle slov při řízení změn. Navzdory ponurému uznání bojů lidstva fórum také zdůraznilo odolnost a radost ze společného úsilí o lepší svět. I když se nejedná o událost zaměřenou na kryptoměny, nabízí Oslo Freedom Forum jedinečnou perspektivu, která přesahuje tradiční konference, takže je povinnou návštěvou pro ty, kteří hledají inspiraci a smysluplná spojení v kryptoprostoru.

The president of Signal, a messaging app, has criticized a revised European Union proposal aiming to monitor encrypted chats under a new name. The EU Commission initially introduced the Chat Control law in mid-2022 to compel messaging apps to create a backdoor for end-to-end encrypted messages. Despite the EU Parliament committee rejecting mass screening of encrypted communications in November, a revised version of the law proposes an alternative method called 'upload moderation' to combat online child sexual abuse material. Signal's President, Meredith Whittaker, argues that 'upload moderation' is a ploy to undermine encryption, making private chats vulnerable to exploitation by hackers and hostile entities. Whittaker stresses the importance of protecting end-to-end encryption as a crucial privacy tool in an era of extensive surveillance. The proposed Chat Control law would require telecommunication operators to implement 'upload moderation' to combat child exploitation material, a move criticized by Whittaker and encryption experts as creating security vulnerabilities.

The European Union's new parliament is expected to uphold its favorable stance towards the cryptocurrency sector. Following the recent elections, the EU faces a transformed political landscape with shifts in representation and ideologies.

Tracking the movements of Bitcoin (BTC) whales, individuals holding significant amounts of Bitcoin, may not provide valuable insights, according to traders. Despite being a popular way to speculate on market sentiment, Glassnode lead analyst James Check, also known as “Checkmatey,” advised against relying on this metric for generating 'true alpha.' While it is believed that whales can influence the market, interpreting their actions can be subjective. For instance, dormant addresses with large holdings becoming active could indicate selling, but not always. Pseudonymous crypto analyst TXMC cautioned against making hasty conclusions based on whale metrics, as these entities may have complex wallet management strategies. Although social media posts on whale movements attract attention, analysts like Viviek Sen still use them to predict market trends. However, the accuracy and reliability of such data remain questionable in the volatile world of cryptocurrency. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
