Summary
Bitcoin holds near $79K as Kraken’s parent completes a landmark $550 million acquisition of Bitnomial to gain full CFTC derivatives capabilities. Strategy pauses Bitcoin purchases ahead of earnings, while North Korean terrorism victims obtain a court order to seize $71M in Arbitrum-frozen Kelp DAO ETH. Ethereum ETFs see continued inflows, XRP Ledger emerges as a $3.6B tokenized energy hub, and fake HSBC stablecoin scams are spreading. Markets remain cautious but supported by institutional developments and regulatory progress. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
