🔔 MARKET MOVING NEWS! (26/04/24) 1️⃣ Consensys Sues SEC Over ‘Unlawful Seizure Of Authority’ Over Ethereum 🔍 Ethereum developer Consensys has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleging that the regulator had orchestrated a campaign “to seize control over the future of cryptocurrency” with enforcement actions aimed at regulating Ether (ETH) as a security. Consensys also revealed that it had received a Wells notice from the SEC on April 10, indicating its intention to bring an enforcement action against the company for violating securities laws via its MetaMask wallet product. Consensys has denied that it acts as a broker, stating that the wallet is “simply and interface” and “neither holds customers’ digital assets nor carries out any transaction functions.” It now seeks a federal court declaration that ETH is not a security and alleges that any investigation of ConsenSys based on the idea that ETH is a security "would violate" the company's fifth amendment rights and the Administrative Procedures Act. 2️⃣ Bitcoin 'Epic Sat' From the Halving Sells for $2.1 Million 💸 ViaBTC, the mining pool that mined the first block after the Bitcoin halving on April 20, has reportedly sold the "epic" sat it mined for 33.3 BTC ($2.13 million). An epic sat refers to the first satoshi mined in the first new Bitcoin halving block. Given there’s been four halvings, only four of these rare sats exist. The auction of “epic sat” 1,968,750,000,000,000 was hosted on the crypto exchange CoinEX. CoinEX stated, CoinEx's partner, the ViaBTC mining pool, has officially mined the 840,000th block. This milestone not only signifies Bitcoin's fourth halving but also includes a block identified as an epic 'Rare Satoshi' by the Ordinals numbering system. The general public has a keen interest in collecting valuable items. Given that satoshis are assigned unique identifiers, they inherently possess higher collectible value. As periodic events occur within the Bitcoin network, some more frequently than others, scarcity is naturally promoted. 3️⃣ Franklin Templeton Enables Peer-To-Peer Transfers For Its On-Chain US Government Money Fund 💰 Asset management firm Franklin Templeton has reportedly enabled the peer-to-peer transfers of tokenized shares in its $380M Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX). This means that investors of FOBXX will be able to transfer the fund's BENJI token to each other without any intermediary. The BENJI token, available on the Stellar (XLM) and Polygon (MATIC) blockchains, represents shares in the fund that holds government securities, cash and repurchase agreements and pays out a steady yield to token holders. 4️⃣ Stripe Bringing Back Crypto Payments, This Time With A Stablecoin ⚡️ In a recent keynote address at Stripe’s Global Internet Economy conference, the company’s co-founder and President John Collison announced that the payment service is bringing back support for crypto in the form of stablecoin payments.

Notably, the new powers for law enforcement agencies, which came into effect earlier today, are the result of the U.K. Parliament passing a specific crime bill last year. Police in the country will no longer be required to make an arrest before seizing crypto holdings. The police have stationed crypto tactical advisors across the country and have already seized hundreds of millions of pounds worth of crypto.

🔔 MARKET MOVING NEWS! (21/04/24) 1️⃣ Grayscale's Planned Mini Bitcoin ETF Will Have a 0.15% Fee, the Lowest Among Spot Bitcoin ETFs ⚡️ According to recent filings, Grayscale’s new ETF product, the Bitcoin Mini Trust, will be listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker BTC and charge a competitive fee rate of 0.15%.
