As tensions rise, the market has shown its hand. Is this the final stand, or will we go lower? In today's news:
Read on! | | 24h Hot Searches Worldwide ๐ฅ | | CoinGecko 2024 Q1 Crypto Industry Report | | After a strong 2023 Q4, the total crypto market cap continued rallying by +64.5% in 2024 Q1, reaching a high of $2.9 trillion on March 13.
In absolute terms, the growth of this quarter (+$1.1 trillion) was almost double that of the previous quarter (+$0.61 trillion). This was largely driven by the approval of US spot Bitcoin ETFs in early January, sending BTC to a new all-time high in March.
Our comprehensive 2024 Q1 Crypto Industry Report covers everything from the crypto market landscape to analyzing Bitcoin and Ethereum, deep diving into the decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystems, and reviewing how centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX) have performed.
Check it out here to get the full scoop! | | | Aptos, Azure, and AI ๐ฆ Aptos Labs, the creators of the eponymous Aptos blockchain, are teaming up with the big boys for their next big project, known as Aptos Ascend. The team has just closed new partnerships with Microsoft, Brevan Howard, SK Telecom, and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to develop Aptos Ascend, a digital asset management platform for financial institutions.
The product will utilize Microsoft Azure as well as the Azure OpenAI large-language model for generative AI applications built on top of Aptos, while SK Telecom will provide wallet services. Additionally, the team will also tap into Brevan Howard and BCG's expertise in consulting and guiding financial institutions in offering digital asset management services to clients.
Aptos Ascend claims to offer precise control and flexibility for digital asset management, allowing for the issuance of customizable tokens and enhanced transaction privacy through zero-knowledge proofs.
Institutions who are interested in utilizing Aptos Ascend can start applying to become a partner. However, the announcement has had little impact on the price of the network's native APT token, which has remained flat at around $9.50. Editor's Take:
Typically, when crypto projects announce their 'partnership' with big tech and finance firms, the truth is a lot more lackluster and disappointing, whether it's just a small integration or joining an accelerator program. However, this time, the partnerships seem to be deeper than that and should pave the way for more meaningful alliances between protocols and traditional institutions. | | | Catch up with important market updates, Bitcoin, Ethereum developments, and more. | | | Guilty as charged! ⚖️ More than a year later, justice has been served.
Avraham Eisenberg, a once popular CT influencer and crypto trader, has been convicted of exploiting the DeFi perpetual protocol Mango Markets and taking over $110M of crypto assets in October 2022.
Eisenberg fled the US with the funds and was apprehended two months later in Puerto Rico and has remained in federal custody since.
The 27-year-old has now been charged with commodities fraud, commodities manipulation, and wire fraud.
Eisenberg faces up to 20 years in prison for each of his charges, but the New York District Court has yet to decide on the sentencing.
Just hours after the exploit, Eisenberg wrote an anonymous proposal to the DAO, which has since been removed, promising to return $67M in exchange for letting him keep the remainder of the funds and not press charges.
Unsurprisingly, his proposal was swiftly rejected by the DAO. | | | | Celebrate CoinGecko's 10th Year Anniversary with us with weekly giveaways in April, and learn more about our anniversary partners, Zeebu, Polkadot and Pixels! | | | |
