According to PANews, a spokesperson for BlackRock has confirmed that the company did not directly participate in the decision by Archax and Ownera to tokenize BlackRock's ICS Treasury Fund on Hedera. The spokesperson further clarified that BlackRock has no business relationship with Hedera and has not chosen Hedera Hashgraph to tokenize any BlackRock funds.

The market data shows that the price of the HBAR token has fallen to $0.1182, a 24-hour drop of 29.73%.

Previously, a misunderstanding was caused by an announcement from the HBAR Foundation about the 'tokenization of BlackRock funds'. It was widely misunderstood that BlackRock was involved in the development of Hedera, which the company has now clarified is not the case.

Sui's DeFi TVL (Total Value Locked) has also seen a significant increase of 1,459% over the past two quarters, reaching $786.6 million. This growth was driven by incentive programs, with several top protocols including NAVI, Scallop, and DeepBook launching or announcing tokens in the first quarter of 2024.

During the on-chain gaming task Quest 3, the average daily active addresses for Sui were 151,000, peaking at 453,000. Excluding this period, the average daily active addresses for Sui over the past two quarters were 24,000.

According to Foresight News, a survey conducted by KPMG, a multinational professional services network, has revealed that the exposure of Canadian institutional investors to cryptocurrency is set to increase significantly by 2023. Nearly 40% of the institutional investors surveyed reported that they will have direct or indirect exposure to crypto assets in 2023, a rise from the 31% recorded in their 2021 study.

Furthermore, a third of institutional investors have allocated 10% or more of their investment portfolios to crypto assets. This proportion was only a fifth two years ago. The findings indicate a growing interest and confidence in digital assets among institutional investors in Canada, suggesting a potential shift in investment strategies towards more diverse and digital portfolios.

According to PANews, the European Parliament has passed new regulations, officially requiring cryptocurrency companies to conduct due diligence to combat money laundering. The Parliament voted on Wednesday to pass a series of laws that will partly strengthen 'due diligence measures and checks on customer identity,' including so-called crypto asset management companies. They will also have to report suspicious activities to the authorities. The new law will affect crypto asset service providers (CASPs), such as centralized crypto exchanges, and many other institutions, including gambling services.

Patrick Hansen, EU Strategy and Policy Director at Circle, stated in a post on X that the voting result was expected. 'The bill will now also officially be approved by the EU Council and will take effect three years later,' Hansen wrote on the X platform. Last month, Hansen refuted rumors that the new law would ban anonymous crypto wallets and self-payment methods. He stated that the new law would apply to CASPs already regulated under MiCA (Crypto Asset Market Regulation), which need to follow standard KYC/AML procedures, such as customer due diligence (CDD). This is not something new, as all EU cryptocurrency exchanges and custodial wallet providers have already complied with these obligations under the current AMLD5 regulations.

Hansen stated that overall, the final version is a 'great achievement' for the crypto industry. The previous version of the proposed AMLR suggested a stricter approach, which meant carrying out KYC on self-custody initiators/beneficiaries, but due to the industry's efforts, it was finally agreed to adopt a risk-based approach and various options.

According to BlockBeats, Morgan Stanley is reportedly planning to introduce a Bitcoin ETF to its clients through its 15,000 brokers. This information was revealed by insiders and reported by AdvisorHub on April 25. Since receiving regulatory approval in January, Morgan Stanley has been offering a Bitcoin ETF, but it has not been actively promoted. Clients still had to consult their advisors about investing in it.

This situation is expected to change, as insiders claim that Morgan Stanley plans to introduce the Bitcoin ETF to every client in a controlled manner. This move by Morgan Stanley is seen as a significant step in bringing cryptocurrency further into the mainstream financial world. However, the details of how this will be implemented are yet to be disclosed.

According to PANews, blockchain game developer InfiniGods has successfully raised $8 million in a Series A funding round. The funding was exclusively invested by Pantera Capital. This follows a seed funding round in 2022 where InfiniGods raised $9 million, led by Pantera Capital with participation from Framework Ventures, Jefferson Capital, Animoca Brands, and Double Peak.

InfiniGods is known for creating web and mobile games that incorporate elements of mythology. The gameplay includes puzzles, strategy, and city-building. Co-founder of InfiniGods, Owen O'Donoghue, has an impressive background with 11 years of experience at Meta. During his tenure, he assisted in the development of Meta's gaming department and helped game developers in launching, monetizing, and expanding their games.

According to PANews, the trading volume data for Bitcoin spot ETFs on April 24th has been released by HODL15Capital. The data shows that BlackRock's IBIT had a trading volume of $1.17 billion, Grayscale's GBTC had a trading volume of $523 million, Fidelity's FBTC had a trading volume of $486 million, ProShares' BITO had a trading volume of $275 million, ARKB had a trading volume of $173 million, and BITB had a trading volume of $101 million.

This data provides a snapshot of the trading activity in the Bitcoin spot ETF market for that day. It is important to note that these figures can fluctuate significantly from day to day, depending on a variety of factors including market conditions and investor sentiment.

The Bitcoin spot ETF market is a relatively new and rapidly evolving sector of the cryptocurrency market. These ETFs provide a way for investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to buy and hold the cryptocurrency directly. They are traded on traditional stock exchanges, making them accessible to a wide range of investors.

According to PANews, Meta's first quarter earnings report, released on Wednesday, revealed that its metaverse division, Reality Labs, generated a revenue of $440 million. This figure represents approximately 1% of Meta's total income, marking a year-on-year growth of about 30%. However, Reality Labs reported an operating loss of $38.5 billion for the same quarter.

Since the end of 2020, when Meta began reporting this business division separately, Reality Labs has accumulated losses exceeding $45 billion. During the company's earnings call, Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, stated, 'As we increase our capital expenditure and energy expenditure on artificial intelligence, we will continue to focus on efficiently operating the company's other businesses. In fact, even as we shift many existing resources to artificial intelligence, we will meaningfully expand our investment scope before we derive substantial income from these new products.'

On Monday, Meta announced its plans to collaborate with third-party hardware companies to develop new VR headsets, using the same Meta Horizon operating system as the Quest headsets.

According to Bloomberg, a yellow legal pad with 'Buy Bitcoin' scribbled on it, which was flashed by an intern during a 2017 Congressional testimony, has been auctioned for $1.027 million. The sign, which was displayed during then-Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's testimony, became a symbol for the burgeoning community of cryptocurrency developers and investors. Since that time, Bitcoin's value has skyrocketed from approximately $2,300 to a record-breaking nearly $74,000 in March. This surge has been fueled by financial giants like Fidelity and BlackRock endorsing the digital asset, and retail investors returning to the crypto market after years of instability and fluctuating prices.

The sign was auctioned off by Christian Langalis, a former intern at the Libertarian think tank Cato Institute. Langalis was seated behind Yellen during her appearance before the House Financial Service Committee in July 2017 and quickly wrote the message on the pad. After the sign was seen on television, Langalis was promptly escorted out. The auction site, Scare City, described the item as an 'Ink Drawing on Legal Pad' that weighs half a pound and includes Langalis's notes from the hearing. The page with the sign was removed from the notepad shortly after the hearing and has since been reattached with clear archival wire.

The winning bid of 16 Bitcoin was made by an anonymous buyer. There was a brief confusion during the final minutes of the bidding when an error made it seem like $6.4 million was bid. However, this was soon recognized as a mistake, and the price was corrected. Langalis intends to use the proceeds from the auction to fund a Bitcoin software project.

According to CryptoPotato, Nubank, a São Paulo-based fintech, has introduced a new feature that enables Bitcoin and cryptocurrency withdrawals and deposits. This development allows customers to send and receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana through the Nubank app. The withdrawal and deposit options are currently available for users to explore on the app's main crypto screen.

The launch initially supports three cryptocurrencies, but Nubank intends to expand this offering soon. Users are advised to consider several factors before completing a transaction. Withdrawals may incur variable fees depending on the chosen network, and crypto transactions could take around 60 minutes. Users must also ensure that the selected network and currency are compatible with the Nubank wallet. The bank stresses the importance of sending assets to supported networks and correct addresses, as errors could lead to irreversible loss of funds.

This new feature from Nubank is expected to further stimulate Brazil's burgeoning crypto environment. As the largest fintech bank in Latin America, boasting a customer base of 80.4 million in Brazil and millions more in Mexico and Colombia, Nubank's foray into cryptocurrency marks a significant stride towards mainstream acceptance. This move follows closely on the heels of Itau Unibanco, Brazil's largest bank, which entered the cryptocurrency exchange market in early December 2023.

Brazil is among the top Latin American countries in terms of cryptocurrency adoption. It is one of three nations demonstrating strong 'grassroots adoption' and ranks within the top 20 on Chainalysis' Global Crypto Adoption Index.

According to PANews, the co-founders of cryptocurrency mixing service Samourai Wallet have been arrested. Prosecutors claim they are suspected of laundering $100 million from Silk Road and other illegal markets. Keonne Rodriguez, the CEO of Samourai, and William Lonergan Hill, the CTO, were charged with operating the Samourai Wallet.

Prosecutors stated that Samourai is an unlicensed remittance company that participated in 'over $2 billion in illegal transactions, and provided over $100 million in money laundering transactions for illegal dark web markets including Silk Road'. Rodriguez was arrested on Wednesday morning and will face trial in Pennsylvania. Hill was arrested in Portugal, and the United States is seeking his extradition.

The prosecutors also stated that Samourai's web servers and domain names have been seized, and the application can no longer be downloaded from the Google Play store in the United States. Rodriguez and Hill are charged with money laundering and unlicensed money transmitting business, with maximum sentences of 20 years and 5 years respectively.

According to PANews, data from Coinglass reveals that the cryptocurrency market experienced a total contract liquidation of $193 million in the past 24 hours. This liquidation affected 85,846 individuals.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) were significantly impacted, with liquidation amounts of approximately $43.60 million and $38.72 million respectively.
