Mike Novogratz: Bitcoin poised for flight over ATH on spot BTC ETF approval

Mike Novogratz, Galaxy Digital CEO, opined that Bitcoin could swiftly race above its 2021 all-time high once the SEC greenlights spot BTC ETFs.  Bitcoin (BTC) proponent Mike Novogratz predicts a return to all-time highs (ATH) followed by exponential growth for crypto’s king token after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issues approval s for spot Bitcoin ETFs, a development widely expected by January 2024.  Prices are set on the margin, so that’s all new money.

Cardano founder clashes with XRP community again

After the co- founder of Cardano (ADA), Charles Hoskinson, hosted an AMA session on his YouTube channel, during which he expressed disappointment with the treatment of cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin (BTC), an X user accused him of hypocrisy and trying to discredit the XRP community for years. As it happens, user Mr. Huber posted links to Hoskinson’s recent video, as well as one from over a year ago with YouTuber BitBoy Crypto and a slightly older one in which the Cardano founder accused the XRP crowd of spreading conspiracy theories and harassing him. Accusations against Hoskinson According to the X user, who spoke directly to Hoskinson, the Cardano pioneer for two years “did everything you could to make the XRP community look ridiculous and embarrass us in public,” then offering peace, “only to come out of nowhere and call us crazy conspiracy theorists again.” I'm sorry, @IOHK_Charles , but for two years you did everything you could to make the #XRPcommunity to look

Dogecoin's DOGE-1 Mission Cleared by NTIA

In a noteworthy achievement for the cryptocurrency community, the DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon, funded by Dogecoin, has received approval from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). This regulatory endorsement marks a pivotal progression towards obtaining the final Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license, a prerequisite for overseeing communications in the X-Band and S-Band for the satellite. Journey to the Moon The forthcoming mission, Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission One, scheduled for launch on Dec. 23, is positioned to transport the initial physical Dogecoin token to the lunar surface. This ambitious endeavor is a collaborative initiative involving contributions from distinguished entities, including NASA. The NTIA’s approval signifies a critical juncture for Dogecoin’s DOGE-1 Mission, facilitating seamless communication during the lunar expedition.

Dogecoin would trade at this price if DOGE hits its all-time high market cap

Cryptocurrency investors sometimes might overlook the economic dynamics of a coin’s supply inflation. Understanding how these economics affect cryptocurrencies is a relevant edge to have in the crypto market. In this aspect, Finbold gathered public market data from leading indexes to understand Dogecoin (DOGE) supply inflation. Interestingly, we analyzed the economic effects of this inflation by calculating DOGE’s price if Dogecoin ever hits its all-time high market cap. Any digital asset needs more demand to keep its value, facing an inflationary supply. Both supply and demand influence whether a cryptocurrency’s price rises or falls. Notably, Dogecoin had an all-time high market cap of $98.473 billion on May 8, 2021, according to TradingView ’s CRYPTOCAP index. Meanwhile, the token traded for as high as $0.7376 on the same day, as registered by CoinMarketCap . An inverse calculation suggests a circulating supply of around 133.504 billion DOGE at that time.

Ripple CTO Says Even Arts Qualifies as Security Per SEC’s Definition

Ripple CTO David Schwartz argued any asset could qualify as a security under the SEC’s investment contract test.  Schwartz argued that arts, baseball cards, and houses could qualify as securities since buyers purchase in hopes of future price increases.  Promoters exert influence on the price of the assets by controlling their demand and supply, according to Schwartz. Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz recently stated that a broad range of assets could qualify as securities under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s investment contract test, echoing growing demand for changes to the securities law in the country.   The investment contract test, also known as Howey’s test, is what the SEC uses in determining what qualifies as a security. The test has also been the subject of many of the regulator’s actions against crypto firms, most notably Ripple.  Schwartz noted these concerns with the SEC’s interpretation of the test in a debate on

The ex-CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, admitted last week to a violation of the Bank Secrecy Act.

SHIB would trade at this price if Shiba Inu hits its all-time high market cap

Image
Analyzing tokenomics is a fundamental part of cryptocurrency investing. Supply inflation or deflation plays a meaningful role in the performance of cryptocurrencies. With that in mind, Finbold looked at Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokenomics from a different perspective. Public market data from leading indexes can demonstrate the effects of an increased supply inflation. It is possible to calculate the exact price SHIB would trade if it ever hits the all -time high market cap. A token needs more demand to keep its same value, facing an inflationary supply and less demand facing a deflationary one. These two factors influence whether a cryptocurrency’s price rises or falls. Each cryptocurrency, including Shiba Inu, has its unique ‘tokenomics’ structure. SHIB had an all -time high market cap of $249.833 billion on May 11, 2021, according to TradingView ’s CRYPTOCAP index. According to multiple sources, Shiba Inu started with a circulating supply of 1 quadrillion SHIB, suggesting a price
