In a Jan. 24 X post, Anthony Albanese, chief operating officer of Andreessen Horowitzās crypto arm, said the firm had been encouraged by āenthusiasm for crypto building and adoptionā in the UK but still planned to close its office. According to Albanese, the venture capital company intended to focus its efforts on the US market based on Trumpās actions during his first week in office.
āThis doesnāt change our confidence in the UKās growing role in crypto and blockchain,ā said the a16z Crypto chief operating officer. āWe will continue to invest in great entrepreneurs no matter where they are in the world, including the UK. We also remain ready to help the UK with its ongoing crypto efforts.ā

š©āš¼ Women in Crypto Earn More Than Men: š°šš
The #crypto industry is breaking the traditional gender wage gap, with women earning 15% more than men based on median base salaries. šøš According to a Pantera Capital survey, this trend is driven by women's experience and mid-level to senior positions in the field. š©āš¼š©āš§
#Women in crypto are lindy, meaning they've overcome hurdles and possess unobservable qualities like resilience and high competence. šŖš§ This, combined with their time in the industry, results in higher pay. š°š
While more research is needed to understand the underlying factors, the crypto industry is setting a new standard for gender equity. š„

š¢ IMPATIENT CONCLUSIONS
In recent days, the global news feed is literally teeming with news about the correlations between #cryptomarket and the main political event of the last four years.
Undoubtedly, the US President Election 2024 is the main political event and naturally affects the financial and macroeconomic environment of the whole world.
But the question arises, does this also apply to #cryptoindustry ?
We think NOT, and that some "experts" and media resources are biasedly exaggerating the correlation between cryptocurrency prices and election results.
Both candidates have expressed support for the crypto industry in almost equally positive terms (not counting the more theatrical methods of one of the candidates). That is, it can be assumed that any outcome will not be negative.
The 24-hour chart $BTC shows that most participants in the crypto market have reached this conclusion as well. The chart is gradually leveling out towards an increase.
So, gentlemen awaiting #bullrun , we suggest not to deviate from the already chosen course.

Crypto Industry Pushes Back Against Renomination of SEC Commissioner
The United States Senate Banking Committee is set to vote on December 11 to determine whether Caroline Crenshaw will be renominated as Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a position she has held since August 2020. If approved, Crenshaw will remain in office until 2029. However, if the Senate rejects the renomination, the incoming President will have the authority to appoint her replacement.
In contrast, the crypto industry has responded enthusiastically to the Presidentās recent nomination of Paul Atkins as the next SEC Chair. Atkins, who previously served as SEC Commissioner from 2002 to 2008, is known for his market-friendly stance and focus on simplifying financial regulations.
---
Why Crypto Opposes Crenshaw
Crenshawās tenure has been marked by strong opposition to cryptocurrency initiatives, particularly her resistance to approving spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In her dissenting letter opposing the SECās potential approval of such ETFs, Crenshaw described the decision as āunsound and ahistorical.ā She wrote:
> āI fear that today we are paving the way for tomorrowās failure. Investors bear the burden of this decision, as they will ultimately pay the price.ā
Her stance has earned her criticism from prominent crypto figures. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart described Crenshaw as āeven more aggressively anti-cryptoā than current SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who is already regarded as a tough regulator in the space. Seyffart highlighted her alignment with Genslerās policies, portraying her as a staunch ally in the SECās efforts to tighten crypto regulations.

CLEAR PICTURE OF CYCLES š š š
What does the long-term chart show us?
It seems that there has been a certain lack of attention from participants #cryptoindustry and the media towards $ETH lately.
By studying the cryptocurrency chart #Ethereumā , we find that since April 2017 the asset has demonstrated 2 bullish cycles, each lasting from 1.5 to almost 2 years.
As the chart shows, at the moment $ETH is again in a bullish cycle, which started in October of last year.
Since we already have historical data on previous cycles, we can assume that this cycle will last at least 2 years. This means that the third cycle will last at least until the first half of 2025.
As practice has shown, my publications already contain several accurate forecasts.
So, I have every right to assure that this forecast will come true as well. š
