Bitcoin Prediction: Will Bitcoin Rise Even More in 2023?🤑🤑 You've got to give Bitcoin advocates credit where it's due – the cornerstone cryptocurrency asset is resilient. Case in point: With U.S. securities regulators bearing down on the cryptocurrency sector after a scandal-ridden 2022, especially with the spectacular collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX exchange, Bitcoin (BTC) was on the ropes. By Nov. 22, 2022, Bitcoin's price had hit a two-year low, falling to $15,480 during the trading day.

Panic Mustn’t Be Allowed to Spread After SVB Collapse: EU Lawmaker🏦📝 Germany’s Markus Ferber said there needs to be a review of interest rate and sovereign bond exposures. Regulators should seek to stop panic spreading after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, an influential European Union lawmaker has said. Markus Ferber, a German who represents the leading center-right party in the European Parliament, said EU bank supervisors should check if European lenders could be vulnerable to interest rate shocks similar to those that felled the California bank on Friday.
Euler Finance flash-loan attacked for an estimated $197 million🚨🚨 Lending protocol Euler Finance was hit by a flash-loan attack, resulting in a loss of $197 million, according to security firms BlockSec and Pack Shield. The attack occurred at 4:50 am ET, allowing the perpetrator to borrow large amounts of funds and drain them from the protocol. They drained $136 million of staked ether (stETH), $34 million of USDC, $19 million of wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) and $8.7 million of DAI, BlockSec noted in a document. Euler Labs, the developer of the protocol, said it was working with security professionals and law enforcement and will release more information later. Flash loans are a popular tool for attackers looking to exploit vulnerabilities in DeFi protocols, as they allow borrowers to access large amounts of funds without providing collateral. However, they come with a high level of risk since the borrower must repay the loan within a short time frame.
USDC bounces back toward null peg after Fed announcement🤑🤑💲💲 Positive developments concerning Circle's $3.3 billion worth of reserves held at Silicon Valley Bank and its new banking partners have seen USDC climb back toward its null peg.
Bitcoin, Ether surge over 10% in trade, experts say correlation between digital assets and broader financial markets increasing🤑🤑 The US Government's decision to provide a safety net for SVB depositors has led to a surge in the value of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether and Dogecoin and the market capitalisation breaking the null trillion ceiling. Market participants and industry experts opine that the surge in cryptocurrency prices reflects the growing correlation between the broader financial market and digital currencies. Experts suggest that this correlation is expected, given the impact of hundreds of billions of dollars, where investors tend to rush towards safer havens, such as gold or cryptocurrencies, in such cases. However, this event cannot be seen as a singular factor to derive the correlation between cryptocurrencies and the broader financial market, according to them
Circle to ‘Cover Any Shortfall’ in USDC Reserves, Sparking Stablecoin Rally📝 The company plans to use corporate resources to fill the gap, including external capital. By Danny Nelson Circle Internet Financial said Saturday it will “cover any shortfall” in the assets backing its stablecoin USDC in the event it does not receive the entirety of a $3.3 billion cash reserve it was holding at Silicon Valley Bank. In a blog post, Circle said it “will stand behind USDC and cover any shortfall using corporate resources, involving external capital if necessary.” The pledge came as crypto traders fretted over the value of USDC, a stablecoin meant to be pegged to the U.S. dollar but which fell in value after Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse. Circle was holding $3.3 billion of USDC’s cash backing at Silicon Valley Bank when the FDIC seized the bank’s assets on Friday.

Bitcoin, Ether Drop Over 5% in Massive Sell-Off as Market Continues to Digest Silvergate Bitcoin plunged to $22,277 and Ether hit null,563 as crypto tumbled during the opening hours of East Asia's trading day. Major digital assets plunged as the business day began in Hong Kong on Friday. Bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) both dropped more than 5% as customers fled crypto bank Silvergate, whose stock tumbled 58% during U.S. trading Thursday. Most of the other 10 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap saw declines similar to BTC and ETH's. "Institutions are a bit jumpy as Silvergate seems to be having issues," Nick Ruck of ContentFi, a Web3 venture studio, said in a note to CoinDesk. Ruck also pointed to the release of some of Mt. Gox’s bitcoin, which would increase its circulating supply, as another source of volatility.

The SEC’s Crackdown on Ethereum Staking Has a Silver Lining💫 The SEC’s recent actions shut down centralization staking services, but not individual staking and decentralized staking services. That could increase decentralization and help restore crypto’s original mission. While this year’s price performance of the two largest cryptocurrencies has been impressive, with Bitcoin up over 46% YTD and Ethereum up over 37% YTD, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been aggressively pursuing increased regulation on cryptocurrencies and has sued large cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians. Earlier this year, Kraken, a US-based crypto trading platform and custodian, settled with the SEC and agreed to discontinue their “Crypto Asset Staking-As-A-Service” program and to pay a $30 million fine.
🎶🎶Spotify Is Testing Token-Enabled Music Playlists🔂🔂 The pilot is currently only available for Android users in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Music streaming Spotify is testing a new service called "token-enabled playlists," which allows holders of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to connect their wallets and listen to curated music. Currently, the service is available to token holders within the Fluf, Moon Birds, Kingship and Overlord communities. The curated playlists will be actively updated during the three-month testing period and can only be accessed by community members via a unique link.
XRP Ledger Proposes Cross-Chain Bridge to Increase Network and Token Utility📝 The proposal defines how changes to an account's transaction sequence can be made on the XRP Ledger to ensure the movement of tokens between XRP Ledger and associated sidechains. Developers at XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ripple development lab RippleX have proposed a new XRPL standard for a cross-chain bridge that would enable interoperability between different networks. The XRPL Standard provides specifications and guidelines for developers to build applications on the XRP Ledger, ensuring compatibility and communication across the network. As posted on GitHub, the proposed standard would allow tokens from one blockchain to be locked in a smart contract on the XRP Ledger, while an equivalent amount of tokens is issued on another blockchain – increasing the use cases and adoption of the XRP Ledger.
Crypto Analytics Firm Messari Cuts 15% of Workforce as Part of Restructuring The crypto intelligence firm, which is led by Ryan Selkis, had closed a $35 million Series B fundraising round last year. Crypto intelligence firm Messari has cut 15% of its employee base as part of a restructuring effort, the firm told CoinDesk. "Messari reduced our global workforce by 15% as part of a restructuring. This was a difficult, but long-term focused realignment that will help us better serve our customer’s data needs in the rapidly evolving economic and tech climate. We are grateful for the contributions of the employees we have parted ways with, and have provided them with a separation package to ease the transition." Messari CEO Ryan Selkis told CoinDesk. Messari is the latest in a string of prominent crypto companies announcing job cuts in an effort to weather the crypto winter that started last year. Both Coinbase and Ethereum scaling platform Polygon Labs had cut 20% of their workforce in the past few months.

Crypto Industry Booms: Report Shows 100% Increase in Developers in Two Years📰📰 The crypto industry has seen a significant surge in the number of developers working on various projects, according to a new report by Electric Capital. The firm, which has invested in several early-stage Layer-1 platforms and crypto startups —like Bitwise, Gitcoin, dYdX Near Protocol, and Inmunefi— found that the number of developers in the crypto industry has doubled over the past two years. Electric Capital obtained its data by identifying 250 million code commits across open-source repositories, which shows exponential growth in the number of developers joining the crypto ecosystem as time goes by. Despite the harsh crypto winter of 2022, the numbers didn’t stop growing. The Number Of Crypto Developers Has Doubled Since 2020 According to Electric Capital, the number of monthly active crypto developers closed at 23,343 in December 2022. This figure represented a nearly 100% increase from the beginning of 2020, when there were less than 10,000 active developers. There are now 23,343 monthly active developers in crypto
10 Predictions for the Future of Crypto in 2023🤑🤑 Think back to one year ago. Bitcoin traded at around $50,000, you couldn’t watch sports without seeing a crypto advertisement, and you could get rich – or at least it felt that way – by minting a non-fungible token (NFT) of your left nostril. At the time, who could have predicted the collapse of Celsius Network and Voyager Digital? Or that Matt Damon would become a crypto punchline? Or that the space’s golden child, Sam Bankman-Fried, would turn from Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader? This article is part of CoinDesk's Crypto 2023 series. This is all preamble to say that there are no crystal balls. Predictions are often wrong. Trends can change on a dime. But then again, perhaps after the FTX-flavored gloom of the last two months, speculating on 2023 is exactly what we need to cleanse the palate. “As we enter 2023, what happens with crypto funding in Q1 will be critical as to whether we stay in a sustained bear market,” suspects Jamie Burke, CEO and founder of Outlier Ventures. On the one hand, he notes that “the strength of the venture market has persisted, with billions of funding still pouring into the space and high levels of capital waiting to be deployed,” and that “we have seen a record number of applications in our most recent cohorts for 2022.”
The Need for Cross-chain NFTs in a Multichain Ecosystem🤑🤑 For a multichain ecosystem to thrive and crypto to evolve, cross-chain non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a must. In the face of recent events, there’s a lot to be said about centralized, non-transparent entities. We’ve been hit with disaster after disaster over 2022 – the collapse of FTX being the freshest in our minds. People are growing distrustful of crypto and are looking for a remedy. Amidst the chaos, there’s a sector that’s been gaining massive traction: NFTs. And it’s not just crypto giants like Binance who are showing confidence, but real-life adoption is gaining speed as well. Luxury brands like Gucci, sports icons like Ronaldo, and even social platforms like Reddit and Twitter have been integrating NFTs at a rapid pace. There’s a problem, however. NFTs are siloed by singular blockchains while we live in a multichain ecosystem. Thus, there’s a case to be made for cross-chain NFTs.
How the Biggest Money Experiment in Human History Will Impact Global Payments The potential impact of a global blockchain payment system has been the focus of many recent discussions. Some might argue that the glass is half empty. However, through countless studies, researchers are proving that the glass is in fact half full. Deloitte’s recent study points out that payment transactions through blockchain technology are not only 40% to 80% cheaper than traditional processes but are also ‘astronomically quicker than conventional cross-border transfers due to being near-instantaneous’. Similar to telephones, which evolved from PSTN lines to copper lines to 4G and now 5G, the world of payments is undergoing a transformation as it adapts to using blockchain technology to meet the scalability and borderless demands of a fast-growing global economy
There Will Be No Lessons Learned From FTX As a new year gets underway I know that I don’t need to buy anything for the crypto-skeptic in my life. As an industry we’ve already bought them, at a cost of billions of dollars, a gift that’s genuinely priceless and always in style: the smug self-satisfaction of knowing they were always right. After all that happened in 2022, it would be nice to know that we’re busy learning all the right and important lessons. Don’t count on it. Thanks to the miracle of confirmation bias, those advocating proof of reserves, auditing or just the end of the crypto will see the events of the year as confirmation that we need to do whatever it was they were already pitching. I’m no exception: ya’ll need more audits. Paul Brody is EY's global blockchain leader and a CoinDesk columnist. This op-ed is part of CoinDesk's Crypto 2023 package.
Would a Clear Out of Crypto Moguls and Their Centralized Companies Be Good for the Digital Asset Class? As more and more crypto companies face scrutiny – and some throw in the towel after a rough bear market - questions are being raised whether that could be a good thing for crypto after all. Latest among the crypto entrepreneurs that are facing scrutiny now are Cameron and Taylor Winklevoss, the twins who founded Gemini exchange. The twins have been in the spotlight recently as a feud between them and fellow crypto entrepreneur Barry Silbert has unfolded over Gemini’s interest-paying “Earn” program. The partner Gemini worked with for its Earn program was Genesis Global Capital, a subsidiary of Silbert’s Digital Currency Group (DCG). But when Genesis in November last year halted redemptions for its clients, Gemini’s clients also became unable to withdraw funds held on Gemini Earn.
Will Ethereum’s Bear Market Continue in 2023? 6 Key Considerations That goes for foreign central bank fiat currencies (traditional finance – or TradFi ) as well as for major, liquid digital assets like Ethereum. So as a result, Ether which trades against USDs and USD-pegged stable coins will depreciate in some value against the dollar.
'Crypto winter' won't end in 2023 — Bitcoin advocate David Marcus It will be “another tough year” for crypto in the wake of the FTX scandal, suggests the former Meta executive turned Bitcoin Lightning Network advocate. Bitcoin BTC $23,557 and crypto will need until at least 2024 to “recover from the abuse of unscrupulous players,” says one of the industry’s best-known names. In a blog post released on Dec. 30, David Marcus, CEO and founder of Bitcoin firm Lightspark, disappointed bulls with his outlook for the coming years.
