  • Crypto Expert Turns Bullish On Bitcoin, Predicts Quantitative Easing Will Begin Soon

    May 3, 2024 | 14:00 pm

    Crypto expert Michaël van de Poppe has made a bullish case for Bitcoin as he alluded to macroeconomic factors that could soon play out in the flagship crypto’s favor. In line with this, he urged Bitcoin investors to take action with a parabolic surge on the horizon.  An Imminent Quantitative Easing Would Be Good For Bitcoin Van de Poppe suggested in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Bitcoin will rise on the back of a Quantitative Easing (QE), which he anticipates is “close.” He noted that the Fed has already started to “unwind Treasury buybacks and is reducing QT [Quantitative Tightening].” He claims this is happening because the economic data has worsened, which puts the US at risk of a recession.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Out Of Descending Triangle Like It Did In 2021, Analyst Sets $6 Target Therefore, the Fed seeks to avoid this recession by buying back long-term government bonds and injecting liquidity into the financial system. As the crypto expert predicts, this could be good since it will force the Fed to take a more dovish stance and possibly lower interest rates, boosting investors’ confidence to go all in on risk assets like Bitcoin.  Van de Popper further predicts that this Quantitative Easing will become evident in the data released in the coming months. In line with this, he advised investors to long Bitcoin. It is worth noting that Bitcoin dropped to as low as $57,000 ahead of the latest FOMC meeting, with many investors seeming to have anticipated a hawkish stance from the Fed.  However, as the crypto expert noted, the rates remain unchanged, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell raised the possibility of a rate cut as early as June. Given Bitcoin’s price recovery since then, this development looks to have already revived a bullish sentiment among investors.  What To Expect Going Forward In another X post, Van de Popper revealed his expectations for the crypto market going forward. He stated that Bitcoin will consolidate and go sideways (possibly ahead of the QE which will boost its price in the coming months. Meanwhile, he also expects Altcoins to “heavily outperform and rotation kicks in.” Related Reading: Crypto Prediction Website Reveals When The Cardano Price Will Reach $45 The crypto expert had previously echoed a similar sentiment when he stated that he expects altcoins to bounce in their Bitcoin pairs while Bitcoin faces a period of consolidation that he doesn’t expect to change in the “coming months.”  Back then, he also mentioned that there would be a narrative shift to Ethereum, and he reaffirmed this belief in a more recent X post, stating that he expects a lot from the second-largest crypto token by market cap.   At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $59,100, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  BTC bulls reclaim control of price | Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview.com Featured image from Seu Dinheiro, chart from Tradingview.com

  • Bitcoin Bottom In? Retracement From $73,800 Is Deeper And Took Longer To Form

    May 3, 2024 | 13:00 pm

    Some analysts were frightened by the recent drop in Bitcoin prices. Though the coin is showing signs of strength, multiple leveraged longs were liquidated early this week. In a post on X, one analyst thinks Bitcoin might have just found support, bottoming up after the contraction this week, pushing it lower from the multi-week range established in mid-March through to the better part of April.  Bitcoin Retracement Is Deeper And Took Longer: Bottom In? Expressing confidence, the analyst cited a historical pattern. Based on a price action assessment in the weekly chart, the analyst notes that whenever Bitcoin posts a deep retracement, there is usually a higher probability of the coin bottoming up and shaking off weakness. Related Reading: Bitcoin Update: $120 Million Futures Liquidated As Price Takes A Beating At the same time, prices tend to recover after a retracement that takes longer than expected.  Building on their historical pattern observation, the analyst applied it to the current BTC situation. The trader said up to the current level, the retracement from an all-time high is deeper and also took longer than usual, spanning several weeks. As a result, the analyst projected a high likelihood that Bitcoin prices might have found a bottom.  While confidence abounds, it is still challenging to pick bottoms. Bitcoin and crypto assets are volatile, with prices moving quickly in either direction. At spot rates, Bitcoin is trading above $60,000, reversing losses of May 1. Even though this might cement the analyst’s position, BTC remains within a bear breakout formation, defined by the wide-ranging, high-volume bear bar of April 30. Moreover, the coin is still boxed away from the April trade range, suggesting that weakness remains. Should there be a conclusive close above $62,000, the trend will likely shift in favor of bulls, reversing the losses of April 30. Related Reading: Why This Crypto Bull Run Might Not Live Up To The Past: Analyst Before then, aggressive traders might be unloading at higher prices, aligning with the current bearish formation. Market Forces Will Shape BTC Prices Despite the bearish outlook, most analysts are bullish, expecting a sharp price recovery. One of them took to X, suggesting that buyers will likely take charge if prices recover from spot rates and return to the horizontal range of March to April. The pace and direction at which prices move going forward lean on market factors. So far, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers are decreasing their holdings. At the same time, the United States Federal Reserve is tracking inflation and other metrics as they tune monetary policy. If inflation drops, the USD will likely strengthen, heaping more pressure on the world’s most valuable crypto. Feature image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView

  • ASIC Scores Legal Victory: BPS Financial Found Guilty in Qoin Wallet Case

    May 3, 2024 | 01:31 am

    The Federal Court has found BPS Financial Pty Ltd (BPS) guilty of engaging in unlicensed conduct concerning the 'Qoin Wallet', a non-cash payment facility utilizing a crypto-asset token known as 'Qoin.' The judgment was delivered by Justice Downes in proceedings brought by ASIC.Further Proceedings Ordered by the Court The court determined that BPS, from January 2020 onwards (with a brief exception of a 10-month period), violated the Corporations Act by lacking an Australian Financial Services Licence. Furthermore, BPS was not authorized by any licensee to issue or provide financial advice regarding the Qoin Wallet. Justice Downes also found BPS guilty of misleading or deceptive conduct and propagating false representations about the Qoin Wallet.Among the misleading claims, BPS falsely asserted that the Qoin Wallet was officially registered or approved, misrepresented its usability for purchasing goods and services from Qoin merchants, and misled consumers regarding the exchangeability of Qoin tokens for other crypto-assets or currencies. The court disclosed that prior to November 2021, the only digital currency exchange accepting Qoin was BTX Exchange, which had affiliations with BPS and did not facilitate independent exchanges of crypto assets. The court has mandated the involved parties to discuss further proceedings, including penalties, to address the remaining issues in the case. These deliberations are slated to occur later in 2024.The Federal Court has found BPS Financial engaged in unlicensed conduct over a non-cash payment facility which used a #crypto asset token called Qoin https://t.co/tHQkU9lUpQ pic.twitter.com/2bWhGGyhej— ASIC Media (@asicmedia) May 3, 2024Legal Scrutiny over Sales Practices of Payment FacilityBPS aggressively promoted Qoin tokens to both retail consumers and business owners, colloquially termed 'Qoin Merchants,' as a method of payment for goods and services. As of September 30, 2022, the Qoin Wallet had been issued over 93,000 times, with BPS accumulating over $40 million from Qoin Token sales. Justice Downes affirmed that the Qoin Wallet constituted a financial product, specifically categorizing it as a non-cash payment facility.Joe Longo, ASIC Chair, said: “Crypto assets are highly volatile, inherently risky, and complex. This makes it critically important that providers have the appropriate licences and authorisations, and that investors are provided with clear and accurate information. This case is an important reminder that many crypto products are financial products and that providers need to hold a licence.” This article was written by Tareq Sikder at www.financemagnates.com.

  • Coinbase Rides Bitcoin ETF Wave as Profits Soar past $1B in Q1

    May 2, 2024 | 16:36 pm

    Coinbase has released its first quarter report for 2024, showcasing a substantial 72% quarter-on-quarter increase in total revenue to $1.6 billion. This surge was accompanied by a notable net income of $1,176 billion, representing an increase of 1,588% YoY. This figure represents a turnaround from a net loss of $79 million in the same period last year. Compared to last quarter, Coinbase's net income surged 331%.The cryptocurrency exchange experienced an uptick in its market share across US spot and derivatives trading, along with reaching record highs in Coinbase Prime usage and USDC market capitalization. According to the company, notable international operations significantly contributed to the overall growth.Impact of Bitcoin ETFsCoinbase mentioned: "While we cannot attribute the increase in market capitalization to a specific driver, we believe this increase was influenced by a variety of factors, such as the launch of the Bitcoin ETFs, which have experienced over $11 billion in net inflows so far in 2024."Adjusted EBITDA increased from $324 million in the previous quarter to $1.014 billion, compared to $287 million reported in the first quarter of last year. Looking ahead, Coinbase anticipates continued momentum in Q2 2024, with robust projections in transactions, subscription, and service revenue.Recently, the crypto exchange secured registration as a restricted dealer from the Canadian Securities Administrators. This achievement marked an important moment in Coinbase's global expansion efforts, positioning it as the first international crypto exchange to attain registration in Canada. The approval in Canada added to Coinbase's growing list of registrations in key countries worldwide, including France, Spain, Singapore, Italy, Ireland, and the Netherlands. Meanwhile, in the United States, a federal judge in Manhattan recently permitted the US Securities and Exchange Commission to proceed with a lawsuit against Coinbase, albeit dismissing one claim.Navigating Regulatory HurdlesSpeaking about these regulatory challenges, Coinbase said: "On the legislative front, we are seeing a step change among key leaders in Washington DC aligning on the need for stablecoin legislation, which we believe is a hopeful sign that broader crypto legislation will eventually materialize in the US." The SEC sued Coinbase last June for violations of securities regulations related to the trading of certain crypto tokens. Central to the legal dispute is the interpretation of crypto assets as securities, with the SEC relying on established legal precedents to support its case.

The cryptocurrency exchange also indicated significant growth in USDT and ETH user assets since January 2024. The latest report arrived more than a week after the Bitcoin halving event.Exceeding $2.7B in ReservesBitget's PoR report disclosed a total reserve ratio of 176%, with that of ether reaching 229%. According to the crypto exchange, this update strengthens its commitment to transparency and financial stability. The exchange has implemented additional measures, such as a protection fund and monthly valuations, to mitigate risks.Gracy Chen, the Managing Director at Bitget, mentioned: "Bitget is unwavering in its commitment to transparency and financial stability. Our latest PoR update reinforces our dedication to safeguarding user assets and upholding the highest accountability standards. With a total reserve ratio of 176%, Bitget continues to lead by example in the cryptocurrency exchange industry."On April 22, 2024, Bitget's total reserves exceeded $2.7 billion.

This move occurred after Bitfarms reported its lowest monthly earnings over two years.Bitfarms, like many other miners, experienced the impact of the Bitcoin halving, with its April earnings hitting a concerning low. Despite earning 269 Bitcoin in mining rewards and transaction fees, this figure was 6% lower than the previous month and 29% lower year-over-year.

  • ‘Bitcoin Jesus’ Arrested in Spain for Evading $48 Million in US Taxes

    Apr 30, 2024 | 22:25 pm

    Roger Ver, an early investor in Bitcoin and now an advocate of Bitcoin Cash, was arrested last weekend in Spain on US-brought criminal charges of mail fraud, tax evasion, and filing false tax returns. The authorities in the United States will now seek his extradition.According to an announcement by the Justice Department yesterday (Monday), Ver evaded at least $48 million in taxes in the United States.The Face of Bitcoin CashVer is a vocal crypto advocate who even gained the title of “Bitcoin Jesus” in the early years of cryptocurrency adoption. However, he disagreed with the majority of the Bitcoin miners who opposed changes to the blockchain, leading to the creation of Bitcoin Cash. Ver became a strong advocate for Bitcoin Cash.According to the latest announcement, Ver obtained citizenship from St. Kitts and Nevis in early 2014 and renounced his US citizenship. However, he continued to own MemoryDealers and Agilestar, two US-incorporated companies that sold computer and networking equipment.An Early Bitcoin InvestorThe US authorities allege that Ver began acquiring Bitcoins for himself and his companies as early as 2011. However, he failed to pay an “exit tax” allegedly during his expatriation. He is even accused of concealing information from a law firm he hired, resulting in the filing of false tax returns.“As a result of his expatriation, Ver allegedly was required under US law to file tax returns that reported capital gains from the constructive sale of his worldwide assets, including the Bitcoins, and to report the fair market value of his assets. He was also allegedly required to pay a tax – referred to as an “exit tax” – on those capital gains,” the Justice Department noted.The estimates of the US authorities show that Ver and his companies owned approximately 131,000 Bitcoins when he obtained St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship. The two companies held 73,000 of those Bitcoins.“Ver allegedly provided or caused to be provided false or misleading information to the law firm and appraiser that concealed the true number of Bitcoins he and his companies owned,” the Justice Department added. “As a result, the law firm allegedly prepared and filed false tax returns that substantially undervalued the two companies and their 73,000 Bitcoins and did not report that Ver owned any Bitcoins personally.”Furthermore, Ver sold “tens of thousands” of Bitcoins in November 2017 for about $240 million in cash. According to the US authorities, he needed to report the gains to the IRS and pay tax on the dividends he received from the two US-incorporated companies.“Ver’s 2017 individual income tax return did not report any gain or pay any tax related to the distribution of MemoryDealers’ and Agilestar’s Bitcoins to him,” the Justice Department noted. “In total, Ver is alleged to have caused a loss to the IRS of at least $48 million.” This article was written by Arnab Shome at www.financemagnates.com.

  • Breaking: Binance's Changpeng Zhao Handed Four Months in Prison

    Apr 30, 2024 | 12:45 pm

    Binance's Founder, Changpeng Zhao, has been sentenced to four months in prison after pleading guilty to charges related to allowing money laundering on the cryptocurrency exchange, the Financial Times reported. The sentence, handed down in a Seattle federal court, marked a significant development in the ongoing legal battles involving Binance and Zhao. Plea Deal and SentencingZhao's sentencing occurred after he struck a deal with the U.S. government in November to resolve a longstanding investigation into Binance. As part of the settlement, Zhao agreed to step down as the exchange's CEO. The sentence issued is less severe despite federal prosecutors seeking a three-year prison term. The defense had advocated for five months of probation, while sentencing guidelines suggested a term of 12 to 18 months. Zhao was convicted of willfully failing to implement effective anti-money laundering programs on Binance as required by the Bank Secrecy Act.Additionally, he is convicted of allowing Binance to process transactions involving proceeds of unlawful activity, including those between Americans and individuals in sanctioned jurisdictions. As part of the resolution, Binance was ordered to pay $4.3 billion in fines last year. Zhao agreed to personally pay a fine worth $50 million.Binance’s former chief Changpeng Zhao sentenced to 4 months in jail https://t.co/vySulvvr7W— Financial Times (@FT) April 30, 2024Pending Legal BattlesBeyond Zhao's sentencing, Binance faces other legal challenges. The exchange was separately sued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over allegations of mishandling customer assets and operating an illegal and unregistered exchange in the US.Early this year, a federal judge rejected Zhao's request to travel to the United Arab Emirates. The judge denied the plea due to concerns about flight risk despite Zhao offering substantial collateral, including his equity in Binance.Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the Philippines recently took action against Binance. According to the regulator, the leading crypto exchange has continued to operate without the required license despite warnings dating back to November 2023. The SEC's action includes a formal request to the National Telecommunications Commission to block Binance's website and associated web pages.Binance's regulatory woes are not limited to the Philippines. Regulatory bodies worldwide have intensified scrutiny of the exchange's activities, citing investor protection and compliance concerns. Binance has encountered regulatory hurdles from France to Nigeria, comprising warnings and lawsuits. This article was written by Jared Kirui at www.financemagnates.com.

  • Australia Gears Up for Bitcoin ETFs: ASX Leads the Charge

    Apr 29, 2024 | 07:23 am

    Australia is preparing to join Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) bandwagon. The country's primary equity exchange, ASX Ltd, is anticipated to approve the launch of Bitcoin ETFs following similar approvals in the US and Hong Kong, Bloomberg reported. Australia Prepares for Crypto ETFsThis year, US Bitcoin ETFs accrued an impressive $53 billion, reflecting a growing interest in cryptocurrencies among investors. Notable players like Van Eck Associates Corp. and BetaShares Holdings Pty are expected to introduce ETFs in Australia. The firms seek to capitalize on the crypto resurgence that recently pushed Bitcoin to a record high of over $70,000.ASX, responsible for most equity trading in Australia, is reportedly evaluating applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs. Although the exchange has not confirmed the exact timeline, insiders suggest that approvals could come before the end of the year. This move marks a significant milestone in Australia's crypto investment landscape. It could potentially create investment opportunities for institutional and retail investors. Australia's $2.3 trillion pension market is poised to play an important role in driving inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. Individual investors can diversify their portfolios because a substantial portion of retirement assets are under self-managed superannuation programs. These self-managed funds could emerge as significant buyers of spot-crypto funds as interest in cryptocurrencies surges. Pensioners are expected to tap into the potential of digital assets as alternative investments.Australia Renews Push for Bitcoin ETFsWhile the surge in applications for Bitcoin ETFs marks a new chapter for Australia's crypto market, it is not the first time the country has attempted to launch crypto ETFs. Previous endeavors, such as Cosmos Asset Management's spot-Bitcoin ETF in 2022, experienced low uptake and were eventually delisted. However, the industry is optimistic due to the success of US Bitcoin ETFs and the evolving market dynamics.Last year, Australia introduced a proposal to tighten regulations for cryptocurrency trading. Under the proposal, crypto exchanges operating in the country must obtain licenses from the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. This initiative seeks to address concerns about consumer protection and the need to mitigate risks associated with the expanding crypto market. Exchanges holding assets exceeding US$ 3.2 million (AU$ 5 million) or managing funds totaling more than US$ 946 (AU$ 1,500) per individual must obtain the licenses.

  • Thailand Restricts Introducing Brokers to Only Promote Digital Token Services, Not Cryptos

    Apr 28, 2024 | 22:30 pm

    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Thailand has warned digital asset exchanges that their advertisements and the organisation of introducing broker agent (IBA) events might violate local regulations, Bangkok Post reported today (Monday). The regulator clarified that IBAs can only promote digital token services to avoid speculation on cryptocurrencies, which are categorised as high-risk assets.Clarifying Rules for Investors’ BenefitsIBAs are local companies or agents that onboard clients in a local market for their partner digital asset exchanges for commission. These practices are standard for exchanges or brokers that do not operate directly in some markets.The warning came as the Thai regulator is reiterating the operations of digital asset exchanges in the country to ensure their compliance with local business standards and to focus on benefiting investors and protecting their interests.Cryptocurrency exchanges are legal in Thailand, but they must obtain local approval. Last month, the country even allowed asset management firms to launch private funds to offer bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), but only to institutional and ultra-high-net-worth investors.However, the country banned the sale of cryptocurrency lending products and also mandated that exchanges display a risk warning message.Companies Must Be HonestThe recent cautionary order confirms the Thai regulator’s priority to ensure the advertisements and sales promotions of the crypto exchanges comply with specified criteria and also eliminate false, exaggerated, distorted, concealing, or misleading information. It further highlighted the mandatory warnings about investment risks for investors in all advertisements and promotions.“When operators organise sales promotions by offering rewards to entice people to use the service, this could encourage use of the service without considering the investment risks. This is especially the case for cryptocurrencies,” Anek Yooyuen, Deputy Secretary-General of the Thai SEC said in a statement. “The SEC is asking business operators to strictly comply with the rules and be careful when organising IBAs, advertising and sales promotions, following the relevant rules and guidelines. If there is any violation, there will be punishment according to the law.” This article was written by Arnab Shome at www.financemagnates.com.

  • Worldcoin Defies Regulatory Challenges: Seeks Partnership with OpenAI

    Apr 26, 2024 | 11:07 am

    Worldcoin is eying a potential partnership with artificial intelligence research firm OpenAI, according to a report by Bloomberg. This latest development arrives despite the regulatory challenges facing the digital identity platform over privacy concerns. Through its parent company, Tools for Humanity, the cryptocurrency project plans to expand its services.Navigating Regulatory Challenges Recently, Spain and Portugal raised concerns over the inclusion of children in the project's iris scanning initiative, prompting regulatory action. Previously, the project collaborated with cybersecurity firm Okta Inc. to offer an authentication service. Worldcoin's identity systems support solutions for validating individuals in the digital world dominated by AI. With the rising adoption of AI, the need to distinguish between humans and bots is important. Sam Altman, the Co-Founder of Worldcoin, is renowned for his involvement with OpenAI. Currently, he serves as the company's CEO. Amidst regulatory challenges, Tools for Humanity is enhancing its product. The firm is planning to launch a layer-2 blockchain called World Chain and improve the orb device.However, despite a successful fundraising round last year, Tools for Humanity is reportedly facing uncertainty in tapping into the crypto market for additional funding. Market volatility and pricing fluctuations have prompted a reevaluation of planned token sales.Driving Growth of AIMeanwhile, OpenAI recently hosted top executives from Fortune 500 companies in major business hubs like San Francisco, New York, and London to pitch AI services. At the center of this initiative is OpenAI's enterprise-grade chatbot, designed to cater to specific industry needs ranging from finance to healthcare and energy.OpenAI is proactively reaching out to corporate clients to offer customized AI solutions while assuring data security. Altman and COO Brad Lightcap emphasized the importance of personalized services and direct engagement with the AI firm.Beyond corporate clientele, OpenAI is targeting Hollywood with video creation tools and offerings like ChatGPT Enterprise and the Sora video creation tool. However, there are concerns regarding AI's reliability and copyright implications in content creation. This article was written by Jared Kirui at www.financemagnates.com.

  • Consensys Sues the SEC: Calls Its Authority over Ethereum “Unlawful”

    Apr 25, 2024 | 22:01 pm

    Consensys, a United States-based blockchain firm, has initiated legal action against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a bid to deter the regulator from overseeing the Ethereum blockchain. Filed yesterday (Thursday), the lawsuit termed the efforts of the regulator a “campaign to seize control over the future of cryptocurrency.”A Strategic LawsuitThe lawsuit argued that if the SEC continues to exert its authority over Ethereum, it would bring the blockchain to a halt, “crippling one of the internet’s greatest innovations.”Consensys revealed that its actions against the SEC followed its receipt of a Wells Notice on April 10, indicating that the regulator is preparing to bring enforcement actions against the company over the services of its MetaMask wallet. The company highlighted that MetaMask is not a broker and “neither holds customers’ digital assets nor carries out any transaction functions.”Today, Consensys took an important step towards preserving access to ether and by extension the Ethereum blockchain in the U.S. We are suing the SEC and fighting back against its overzealous regulatory overreach. You can find more of my thoughts here: https://t.co/VmvOsrCxjw… https://t.co/5IubZo69FW— Joseph Lubin (@ethereumJoseph) April 25, 2024Clarifying RegulationsWith the lawsuit, the blockchain company is seeking the Texas federal court’s ruling that Ethereum is not a security and not under the authority of the SEC. Furthermore, it needs the assurance that any investigation into the company on the premises of Ethereum as a security “would violate” its Fifth Amendment rights and the Administrative Procedures Act. Additionally, the lawsuit seeks the ruling that MetaMask is not a broker and that the staking services offered by the platform do not violate securities laws.“The SEC’s unlawful seizure of authority over ETH would spell disaster for the Ethereum network, and for Consensys,” the lawsuit noted.The status of Ethereum hangs in the balance as the SEC’s Chair, Gary Gensler, earlier said that many digital currencies are unregistered securities and fall under the regulator’s purview. Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that the regulator considers a commodity, giving its regulatory rights to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.Meanwhile, Coinbase sued the SEC over the clarification of crypto-centric rules. However, the regulator took action against a number of crypto companies over lapses in regulations and is now fighting legal battles with multiple big names like Ripple, Coinbase, and Binance.

  • Crypto Mining Company Argo Reduced Losses by 85% in 2023

    Apr 24, 2024 | 23:58 pm

    Argo Blockchain (LSE: ARB; NASDAQ: ARBK), a cryptocurrency mining company, has released its 2023 financial results, revealing a year marked by strategic adjustments amidst industry challenges. However, despite achieving a modest gross profit, net income was negative for another consecutive year.Argo Blockchain Tried to Weather Crypto Storm, Cuts Debt by 63% in 2023The company mined 1,760 Bitcoin throughout the year, averaging 4.8 Bitcoin per day, despite facing increased global hashrate and network difficulty.Annual revenues reached $50.6 million, a decline of 14% from the previous year, as the mining margin decreased to 43% from 54% in 2022. However, Argo made significant strides in optimizing its operations, increasing its hash rate by 0.3 EH/s through the introduction of ePIC BlockMiners at its Quebec facilities and generating $7.2 million in power credits through strategic energy curtailment at the Helios location.The company reported a net loss of $35 million for 2023, a substantial improvement from the $229 million loss in 2022. This was largely due to a reduction of 49% in interest expenses, achieved through debt management efforts. By year-end, Argo had reduced its debt owed to Galaxy Digital to $23.5 million, with a total debt standing at $66.2 million."Despite a turbulent market, we have worked hard to strengthen our balance sheet and reduce Argo's debt burden by $22 million, or 63%, and improve our cash positions,” commented Thomas Chippas, the CEO of Argo. In early 2024, Argo successfully raised $9.9 million through a share placement with institutional investors and sold its Mirabel, Quebec data center for $6.1 million, using the proceeds to reduce debt further. Preliminary Q1 2024 results show continued growth, with 319 Bitcoin mined and revenues nearing $17 million.Mining Operations Post-HalvingAs the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve after the recent halving, Argo Blockchain remains focused on navigating challenges, optimizing operations, and positioning itself for long-term success in the competitive mining landscape.“We exited the Bitcoin halving with a stronger balance sheet and leaner operations, and we are optimistic about the ongoing growth and development of Argo with a clear objective of delivering shareholder value,” Chippas added.However, the new operating environment is not easy. After the fourth halving, Bitcoin recently underwent its initial difficulty adjustment, experiencing a rise of 1.99% and elevating the mining difficulty to a new record. The network’s difficulty level increased from 86.39 trillion to 88.10 trillion. This article was written by Damian Chmiel at www.financemagnates.com.

  • US Prosecutors Recommend 3-Year Prison Sentence for Binance's Changpeng Zhao: Report

    Apr 24, 2024 | 05:55 am

    US prosecutors have proposed a 36-month prison sentence for Binance's former CEO, Changpeng Zhao. According to a report by CNBC, the prosecutors argued that such a sentence, which is double the advisory guidelines, reflects the seriousness of the charges against Zhao.The recommendation, outlined in a sentencing memorandum filed with the Western District Court of Washington, highlights the severity of the accusations against Zhao, who stepped down from his position last November following a plea deal with the US Department of Justice.US Prosecutors' Charges against ZhaoUS prosecutors said a 36-month custodial sentence is necessary to underscore the seriousness of the charges against Zhao, which include failure to implement anti-money laundering measures as mandated by the Bank Secrecy Act. The memorandum emphasized Zhao's alleged role in allowing Binance to process transactions involving unlawful activities, including those from sanctioned countries. The case against Zhao occurs amidst a backdrop of legal challenges for Binance, with the exchange facing lawsuits from both the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Allegations include mishandling customer assets and operating an illegal, unregistered exchange in the US. Authorities have also ordered Binance to pay hefty fines, with Zhao agreeing to a $50 million penalty as part of the plea deal. However, he has not publicly commented on the recent developments. Zhao's official sentencing is scheduled for April 30.Binance CEO's Legal StruggleIn January, a federal judge rejected a travel request from Zhao to visit his home in the United Arab Emirates for a family emergency. The judge deemed him a significant flight risk due to his immense wealth and ties to the UAE, despite offering to post his $4.5 billion equity in Binance as security for his return.In November, Zhao pleaded guilty in a Seattle federal court to failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering program at Binance. As part of the case, Binance agreed to pay $4.3 billion in penalties. In a letter to Judge Richard Jones dated December 22, Zhao's lawyers requested permission for him to travel to Abu Dhabi on January 4 for one to four weeks due to a family emergency. However, federal prosecutors did not consent to Zhao's request, leading to a hearing on December 29, when Judge Jones denied the travel bid.

  • Dubai-Based CoinW Unveils Rebranding and Prop Trading Product

    Apr 24, 2024 | 05:21 am

    CoinW Exchange, a notable presence within the digital asset trading domain, is undergoing changes as it observes its sixth-year anniversary. Situated in Dubai, the exchange has revealed an exhaustive rebranding effort alongside the debut of its Proprietary Trading (Prop Trading) product. Introducing Prop Trading for Profit OpportunitiesHaving cemented its position within the digital assets trading industry, CoinW Exchange is now set to enter a fresh phase of development. A centrepiece of its transformation is the launch of the Prop Trading product, an offering aimed at providing traders with expanded avenues for profit optimization. This new product is set to play a role in CoinW Exchange's strategic outlook for the future according to the firm.According to Sonic, the Director of CoinW PropTrading: "We have a host of exciting plans in the pipeline that promise to revolutionize the way digital assets are traded. We hope CPT can bring more opportunities to talented traders who are short of fund. CoinW will be the place that they can truly shine."Challenges and Opportunities: UAE's Crypto JourneyA recent survey by KuCoin sheds light on the growing cryptocurrency landscape in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as reported by Finance Magnates. Despite challenges, 59% of UAE crypto users view it as a long-term investment and 35% use it for portfolio diversification. Additionally, 29% see crypto as a more convenient asset storage method than traditional banks, and 22% use it for daily transactions. Challenges include market volatility (52%), trust issues with crypto platforms (48%), and a lack of education (26%). However, the UAE benefits from strong financial infrastructure, cultural openness, regulatory favorability, access to capital, a skilled workforce, and global networks, positioning it as a promising hub for crypto industry growth.Amidst escalating tensions, MetaQuotes is reportedly tightening restrictions on the use of MetaTrader platforms, although no official confirmation has been issued. This has led to the abrupt termination of partnerships between many proprietary trading firms and their brokerage partners. The primary concern appears to be the presence of active US clients onboarded by these platforms. Proprietary trading has been predominantly linked with unregulated entities. However, regulated brokerages such as OANDA, Axi, and Hantec Markets have recently ventured into this space, keeping their services outside the US jurisdiction and under offshore regulatory entities.
