🚀Marathon Digital Holdings is making waves in the crypto world, mining a whopping $15M worth of Kaspa (KAS) since September! 💰

• Marathon's strategy to diversify its mining operations is paying off big time. They've mined about 93M KAS, making Kaspa the 5th largest Proof-of-Work (PoW) crypto asset. 📈

• Kaspa is similar to Bitcoin in terms of decentralization and open sourcing but uses a BlockDAG for simultaneous processing of multiple blocks. This means more chances for miners to earn rewards. 🎁

• Marathon's got some serious hardware in play, with 60 petahash of KS3, KS5, and KS5 Pro ASICs. They're already running 30 petahash of Kaspa mining ASICs in Texas, with more coming in Q3 2024. 💪

• Marathon's CGO, Adam Swick, says mining Kaspa creates a revenue stream diversified from Bitcoin, directly tied to their core competencies in digital asset compute. 🖥️

📣 Hey, crypto enthusiasts! 🚀 The BTC market might be on the rebound, according to CryptoQuant's latest data.

• Bullish momentum is on the rise 📈
• BTC demand is picking up steam
• Stablecoin liquidity growth is speeding up

The Bitcoin Bull-Bear Market Cycle indicator suggests we're in the least bullish state since the 2023 banking crisis. But with BTC around $61k, we need more bullish momentum to recover.

• BTC demand growth needs to match Q1 levels
• Permanent Bitcoin holders are buying at a monthly pace of 72k BTC
• Bitcoin’s ultimate price support level is $56k

Positive on-chain unrealized profit margins could signal incoming rallies. Increased BTC flow to Coinbase indicates a rise in U.S. investor demand.

• Stablecoin liquidity growth is crucial for price increases

🎉WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is free after 5 years in UK prison! 🙌 He's long been a vocal supporter of #crypto, even using it for global fundraising campaigns.

In a 2014 video, he called #Bitcoin the "most interesting intellectual development on the internet" since 2009. He praised its cryptographic backing and multi-jurisdictional nature, making it a tough nut for any power group to crack.

Bitcoin's not just for payments, it's a tool for freedom, according to Assange. It can "defend itself or the people who use it against even the full might of a superpower." 🌐

He also highlighted Bitcoin's ability to "break Orwell’s dictum" with its unalterable ledger of events. It's been used to bypass sanctions and fund movements, like the Canadian Trucker convoy. Assange himself raised over $54M in ETH via AssangeDAO while jailed.

📢 ECB's digital Euro update: Privacy & data protection are top priorities but some features raise eyebrows 😲

🔹Crypto entrepreneur Daniel Batten points out potential issues: easier surveillance, deplatforming, account freezing, and limits on holdings.

🔹The ECB aims to moderate the digital Euro's use as a store of value, preserving banks' role in credit provision.

🔹Offline functionality offers a cash-like privacy level, but critics argue that it still requires the central bank's database, compromising privacy.

🔹A decision on the Euro CBDC will be made post-EU legislative process & preparation phase conclusion.

🌍 Globally, 3 countries have deployed a CBDC, with 36 pilots ongoing.

📣 IntoTheBlock's latest report reveals the smartest ways to earn yield in the DeFi world! 🚀

1️⃣ AMM Liquidity Provisioning: Deposit assets into AMM pools for various trading pairs. Earn yield from trading fees every time a user swaps between two assets using that pool.

2️⃣ Recursive Lending: Supply and borrow the same asset, profiting from the difference between borrowing costs and protocol incentives.

3️⃣ Supervised Lending: Use an unproductive asset (ex. BTC) as borrowing collateral, then use borrowed funds to buy a more productive asset that earns yield.

4️⃣ Leveraged Staking: Stake assets like ETH or SOL for yield to secure their respective blockchains.

Remember, as more capital enters the pool, expected returns decrease. So, consider the initial size of the pool relative to the capital deployment.

📉Crypto markets are a bit under the weather today, with Bitcoin flirting with the $60K mark and altcoins feeling a pinch. But hey, it's the weekend, and trading volumes are usually lower. 😎

• Bitcoin is down 1.3% in the last 24 hours, making it a 6% loss for the week.
• Altcoins are also in the red with ETH down 1.8%, BNB 1.6%, SOL 2.5%, and others following suit.
• Meme coins are not spared either, with the group down over 3% in the past day.
• The worst performer? Lido's LDO token, down 15%.

🚀 Polkadot (DOT) is on the move! 💹 The crypto has seen a surge in buying activity, bouncing back from a $5.5 support level and breaking above a multi-month triangle's lower boundary.

📈 This bullish retracement suggests an uptick in market interest. The $6.3 resistance level is the next hurdle. If buyers can push past this, we could see a climb towards the 100-day moving average of $7.2.

🔍 A closer look at the 4-hour chart shows a break above the descending price channel, hinting at a revival in demand. If DOT can reclaim the $6.3 resistance, we might see a shift in market sentiment and a sustained uptrend.

📉 But, if the price faces rejection at this level, a short-term consolidation phase within the $6.3-$5.4 range is expected.

📉 Bitcoin's price is on a slide, folks! Can't seem to break past that $75K barrier. But hey, don't sweat it. Is it a market pause or just a blip? 🤔

• Daily chart shows a dip below $65K, but $60K is holding strong.
• 200-day moving average is around $57K, could be our safety net if $60K crumbles.

4-hour chart had a brief scare, dropping below $60K, but bounced back quick. Classic fake-out, right? Could be a sign of a rally to $65K. 🚀

But, RSI is under 50% - sellers might still have the upper hand. A drop below $60K could still be on the cards.

On-chain metrics show Bitcoin whales are making big deposits, possibly to sell. If this keeps up, we might see prices drop further due to excess supply.

"🚀 Ripple's case against the SEC could be a game-changer for the crypto world! If Ripple wins, could XRP hit $10? 🤔

ChatGPT, our AI buddy, weighs in:
- A win could boost investor confidence & buying pressure, positively impacting XRP's price.

🚀📈 The recent presidential debate may have missed the crypto talk, but industry insiders are buzzing anyway! They believe a Trump re-election could mean a big boost for Bitcoin & Co.

Why? Bitfinex analysts point to Trump's support for crypto, hinting that his administration might set up a clear, supportive regulatory framework to promote innovation and investment in the sector.

This could lead to:
- More adoption of digital assets 📲
- Stronger integration of cryptocurrencies into the financial system 💰
- Further growth in the industry 📈

Big names like the Winklevoss twins and Kraken founder Jesse Powell have shown their support, donating millions in Bitcoin to Trump's campaign.

Trump's recent public endorsement of Bitcoin and acceptance of crypto donations show a shift from his previous critical stance, earning him the nickname "CryptoPresident".

Analysts predict crypto could become the primary 'Trump Trade' in this election cycle, as Republicans see a pro-crypto stance as a way to attract voters and secure campaign funding.
