📉 Binance's reign in Bitcoin trading outside the US is waning, with its share dropping from 81.3% to 55.3% in a year. Smaller tokens & altcoins also saw a dip from 58% to 50.5%. 📊

Rising stars Bybit & OKX are gaining ground, with their shares surging to 9.3% & 7.3% respectively.

Binance's decline is partly due to the end of its Bitcoin zero-fee promo. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's 4th halving event caused a stir, but its long-term outlook remains positive. 💪

Despite legal challenges, Binance is rebuilding its reputation under new leadership. It's tightening token listing criteria & has formed a board of directors.

Bitcoin's value dipped 6% in April, while traditional safe-haven assets like gold & the US dollar rallied.

🚀 Bitcoin's 4th halving is history, but don't let the controversy dampen your spirits! There's plenty of bullish news to get you excited. 🎉

• US SEC greenlit nearly a dozen spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year, led by BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC, attracting billions in BTC. This led to a price increase and a new all-time high for BTC. 📈

• BNY Mellon, a long-time crypto supporter, disclosed exposure to some of these ETFs. Morgan Stanley is also considering allowing its brokers to recommend clients to purchase spot Bitcoin ETF funds. 💰

• Outside the US, Hong Kong is gearing up for its own Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, expected to create a "massive ripple effect" across Asia. 🌏

📉 Bitcoin miner revenue from transaction fees has taken a nosedive, now making up 35% of total income, down from a whopping 75% on April 19. What's the scoop? 🧐

- The 4th Bitcoin halving event slashed miner block rewards by half to 3.125 BTC, causing daily issuance to fall from 900 BTC to 450 BTC. 💰
- On halving day, miner revenue spiked to $100M, thanks to a surge in transaction fees. The Runes protocol played a significant role in this spike. 🚀
- However, within 24 hours, transaction fees returned to lower levels and have stayed there. Total miner revenue now hovers around $50M. 😮

Despite the dip in transaction fees and BTC struggling to breach $64K, it's too early to predict the long-term effects of the halving on the network hashrate. Miners seem to be holding their ground.

What are your thoughts on this? Will the lower transaction fees force some miners to quit? Let's chat in the comments! 💬 #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #DeFi

🚀Bitcoin (BTC) is back in the game, folks! After a bit of a bearish phase, BTC is now trading close to $64K. It's been a rollercoaster ride, with the price dropping to $62,300, then bouncing back up by nearly $2K. 🎢

Altcoins aren't being left behind either. Ethereum (ETH) is leaping over the $3,300 mark, while Solana (SOL) is back at $140.

BTC's market cap is nearing a whopping $1.260 trillion, but it's dominance over the alts has slipped to 50.1%.

Meanwhile, the total crypto market cap, which had dipped by over $150 billion a few days ago, is now above $2.5 trillion, gaining $60 billion overnight.

🚀 Upbit, South Korea's crypto giant, is dominating the game with over 80% of the country's trading activity. It's now among the world's top 5 exchanges by trading volume! 💪

But, it's not all smooth sailing. Upbit's dominance has sparked concerns as new legislation is set to roll out in July. The Virtual Asset User Protection Act aims to protect investors with stricter requirements for crypto exchanges.

Some fear these changes could solidify Upbit's position as the undisputed leader in the Korean market. Smaller competitors may struggle to meet the new standards, widening the gap between market leaders and the rest. 📈

Despite these challenges, South Korea's crypto craze isn't slowing down. Over 10% of the population actively trades crypto, and the won is becoming the most traded currency against crypto-assets globally. 🌏

🚀Crypto love is soaring in Canada! 🇨🇦 A recent KPMG survey shows a big leap in institutional investors dipping their toes in the crypto pool.

📈39% had some form of crypto exposure in 2023, up from 31% in 2021. Half of the financial services respondents even started offering crypto services, up from 41% in 2021.

💰One-third of these investors allocated 10% or more of their portfolios to crypto assets. Why? They're looking for hedges against inflation and rising US debt.

🔍The reasons? A maturing market, improved custody infrastructure, and increased client demand.

🏢Canada's becoming a crypto hub, with companies like Coinbase expanding there due to friendlier regulations.

🎉The approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in the US was a "milestone moment" that boosted the appeal of crypto for Canadian investors.

📊Half of the surveyed investors have exposure to crypto through Canadian ETFs or other regulated products. 58% have exposure through the stock market, and 42% through derivatives markets.

🔍Scam Alert! SlowMist & imToken have unearthed a new crypto scam that targets offline transactions using USDT. Here's how it works:

1️⃣ Scammer convinces you to download the legit imToken wallet.
2️⃣ They gain your trust by transferring 1 USDT & a bit of ETH.
3️⃣ You're then asked to redirect your ETH RPC URL to a node controlled by them.
4️⃣ They falsify your USDT balance, making it seem like you've received funds.

💔But when you try to transfer the USDT, you realize you've been duped & the scammer's vanished.

💡Understanding RPC is key to avoid such scams. Wallets usually connect to secure nodes, but untrusted nodes can lead to malicious modifications & losses.

🚩MistTrack's analysis revealed the scam's depth, with multiple addresses flagged as "Pig Butchering Scammers" involved in repeated fraudulent activities.

🚀 Bitcoin's daily transactions hit a new record of 927k, smashing the previous 724k record set in Dec 2023. Thanks to the launch of Runes, a new token standard on the Bitcoin blockchain, interest in crypto is soaring! 📈

Runes has been dominating since its launch, accounting for over 2/3 of all Bitcoin transactions. That's a whopping 68% of the total!

But it's not all smooth sailing. After hitting a high of 750k transactions on April 23, Runes saw a significant drop the next day.

The jury's still out on whether Runes will be a sustainable revenue source for Bitcoin miners. Some critics argue that the block space Runes transactions occupy deviates from Bitcoin's original vision.

📈💡 Bitcoin's growth seems to be tied to Spot Bitcoin ETFs, says a new Ecoinometrics report. These funds, which accumulated 200k BTC from Jan to mid-March, have stopped collecting coins, stalling Bitcoin's price surge.

🔍 Wondering why Bitcoin's stuck in the $60k range? The answer might be the ETFs' inactivity. But don't lose sight of the big picture!

🏦 Bitcoin remains the best bet against debasement, outperforming gold and the NASDAQ with a 44-fold increase in value over the last decade.

🚀Bitcoin's rollercoaster ride continues! After a brief dip to $62,400, it's back around $63,000. Altcoins? Not so lucky, most are seeing red today. 📉

• BTC's journey post-halving has been a bit of a yawn. Despite some recovery after the Iran-Israel incidents, it's been struggling to reclaim its glory above $65,000.
• ETF outflows? They're not helping. BTC's value has been on a downhill slide, culminating in today's dip.
• Altcoins are feeling the heat too. Solana's down 5%, with Dogecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, Shiba Inu, and Polkadot not far behind.

But hey, it's not all doom and gloom! Tron's native token is up by 3%. 📈

Crypto market cap is down $150 billion since Thursday, but we're still standing strong at $2.450 trillion.

🚀 Bitcoin's liquidity is on the rise, folks! 💪 This could mean a steady climb in BTC's price.

Liquidity, or how easily an asset can be bought or sold without affecting its price, has been on the up since the FTX collapse. This is great news for Bitcoin as it can help to reduce price volatility and the impact of big sell-offs.

Since the halving on April 20th, Bitcoin's market depth has grown from $323.91 million to $419.97 million. 📈

But, there's a catch. Weekend trading activity has historically been a challenge for crypto markets, causing a decline in Bitcoin's weekend trading volumes.

Despite this, the optimism surrounding the spot Bitcoin ETF approvals, improving liquidity conditions, and higher transaction fees is high.

However, macroeconomic uncertainties still exist. Previous Bitcoin halvings have coincided with periods of low-interest rates and stable inflation, supporting bull runs.

Moving forward, the halving alone won't fuel a sustained bull run. Bitcoin needs to attract new investors, likely through the U.S. and upcoming Hong Kong spot Bitcoin ETFs.

What do you think? Will improving liquidity and demand boost Bitcoin's value? Let's chat in the comments! 🗨️ #Bitcoin #DeFi

🚀 Bitcoin's hanging tough at $64K despite some ETF outflows. Altcoins are chillin' too, with SHIB up by 3% and NEAR making a 7% leap to over $7. 📈

Last week, Bitcoin had a wild ride due to Iran-Israel tensions, dropping below $60K. But hey, it bounced back to $65K after the dust settled. It even hit a local peak of over $67K! 🎢

Sure, it slipped a bit yesterday to below $63K, but it's still above $64K now. The market cap's just $30 billion shy of $1.3 trillion, and Bitcoin's dominance over alts is nearly 51%.

Most altcoins are pretty steady, with ETH, SOL, TON, ADA, and BCH slightly down, while BNB, XRP, DOGE, and AVAX have made small gains. Tron and Shiba Inu are up by about 2.5%-3%.

NEAR Protocol's token is the star performer today among the top 50 alts, soaring by almost 7% to over $7.2. The total crypto market cap's just under $2.5 trillion.

🚀 BitcoinOS is making strides to bring rollups to Bitcoin, promising "unlimited smart contract functionality" and scaling. The BitSNARK and Grail system aims to bridge Bitcoin to Layer2 rollups and blockchains in a trust-minimized way.

🔍 BitSNARK builds on BitVM, discovered by Robin Linus, and enables cheap, efficient, and secure bridges. No softfork, upgrades, or new op-codes needed, says Edan Yago, one of the paper's authors.

⚖️ Unlike existing Bitcoin Layer2 systems, Grail uses BitSNARK to generate SNARK proofs for Bitcoin and rollup transactions, allowing secure asset transfers between L1 and L2 rollups.

🔐 The Grail bridge requires at least two operators but theoretically, any number could be supported. The trust assumption works unless all parties collude, making it robust.
