🎉Hey there, Bitcoin enthusiasts!🎉 Let's talk about the power and challenges of self-custody in the crypto world. Remember, "Not your keys, not your Bitcoin."💡 Self-custody is the heart of the crypto industry, allowing us to take full control over our funds without relying on centralized third parties. But, it's not without its intricacies and risks. Enter hardware wallets, the superheroes of self-custody!🦸‍♂️ Today, we're chatting with Matej Zak, CEO of Trezor, the manufacturer of the world's first hardware wallet. Trezor's growth from a 30-person team to nearly 200 is a testament to the increasing need for self-custody.🚀 Trezor introduced the world's first hardware wallet, the Trezor Model One, back in 2014. Since then, they've released a range of devices aimed at making self-custody easier, less risky, and more convenient.🔐 But how do you store your crypto the right way? Zak shares some crucial tips for beginners. Understand what self-custody is about, how crypto storage works, and write down your seed phrase, keeping it 100% offline. Trezor even guides users through the onboarding process.👍 Lost your keys? No worries! Trezor has integrated methods of seed phrase recovery. And as we've just gone through Bitcoin's halving, Zak acknowledges the four-year market cycle theory but reminds us that history isn't always an indicator of future performance.🔮 So, are you ready to take control of your Bitcoin? Trezor is prepared for the next all-time high! Let's embrace the power of self-custody together.🎉🚀

🚀🚀 Get ready, BTC enthusiasts! The crypto markets have been pretty chill recently, trading sideways with a tiny mid-week dip. But hold on to your hats, because we're about to see some action! 💥💥 On May 10, approximately 18,280 Bitcoin options contracts are set to expire. This could stir up some volatility in the market. The notional value of these expiring contracts is around a whopping $1.15 billion, according to Deribit. 📈📈 The put/call ratio for this week's BTC options is 0.64, meaning more long contracts are expiring than shorts. The longs are also ruling the roost in open interest (OI) with almost $700 million at the $70,000 and $100,000 strike prices. 🎯🎯 But wait, there's more! The OI for put contracts is also starting to rise, with around $360 million at the $50,000 strike price. Overall, the OI for Bitcoin call options is more than double the OI for put options, indicating a bullish trader sentiment. 🐂🐂 Trading firms like QCP Capital and Paradigm have noticed a renewed demand for upside call options. Some buyers are even closing existing positions to roll into higher strike calls expiring in July and September. 🔄🔄 Besides Bitcoin, 276,000 Ethereum contracts are also set to expire. These contracts have a notional value of around $840 million and a put/call ratio of 0.74. Ethereum derivatives traders seem to be bullish too! 🚀🚀 As for the crypto market outlook, it's gained 2.1% on the day to reach $2.45 trillion in total capitalization. Bitcoin dipped below $61,000 on May 9 but has bounced back to tap $63,000 during the Friday morning Asian trading session. 🌏🌏 So, buckle up, BTC lovers! It's going to be a wild ride! 🎢🎢

🚀Buckle up, BTC enthusiasts! A recent WSJ report alleges that Binance, the crypto exchange behemoth, dismissed an investigator who uncovered market manipulation by DWF Labs, one of its clients. But hold your horses! 🐎 Binance has denied the allegations, asserting its strict market surveillance program that doesn't tolerate market abuse. 🚫 🔍According to the WSJ, Binance's VIP clients, who accounted for two-thirds of the company's total trading volume in 2023, were involved in wash trading and pump and dump schemes. One such VIP client was DWF Labs, which was accused of the same crime in 2023. 💰DWF Labs, which made a minimum of $4 billion in trades per month, supposedly proposed to its clients that it could "drive up" token prices and create "artificial volumes" on the exchange and other platforms. The Binance investigators found that DWF Labs manipulated the price of the Yield Guild Game (YGG) token and six others, processing $300 million in wash trades in 2023. ⚠️However, when the surveillance team reported DWF's activities to Binance, the crypto exchange fired the head of the project one week later. A Binance executive told WSJ that the investigator was dismissed after an internal inquiry found the allegations against DWF Labs were not "fully substantiated." 🔈Binance and DWF Labs have both refuted the WSJ report. Binance emphasized its intolerance to market abuse and its commitment to ensuring healthy competition in the industry. DWF Labs, on the other hand, called the allegations "unfounded" and a distortion of facts. Stay tuned for more updates! 📡
