- It’s #phairdrop time! 🪂🪂🦄 Introducing Season 1 criteria for Phavercoin $SOCIAL with up to 1:1 Points to Tokens ratio. Check your allocation at www.phairdrop.com and learn how to still earn before the snapshot. 📸 👀
Read below for more updates👇
Today we launched the awaited Level 5 at 3000 Cred. 🎉 To qualify for the 1:1 phairdrop, users need either L5, Creator badge or a Phaver-Up NFT. Phaver-Up holders automatically qualify for same tier as Level 5 in the Phairdrop if one is connected during the snapshot. Each Phaver-Up now earns 300 Points and 50 Cred daily. More perks to come!
We’ve also updated posting rewards: Phaves from all your daily posts are now combined for one reward, increasing daily winners.🔥
Remember that $SOCIAL is not yet available to buy or trade anywhere and anyone requesting you to connect a wallet for airdrop purposes is a scammer.
Stay safe and beware of scam links. Always verify through our official channels. 🫡
- Gm Frens, as we’re gearing up for a major announcement, our systems flagged that some malicious actors and bots have been exploiting the Phaver KYC by Galxe and the Kleoverse Github Passport to unfairly gain levels in the app.
To ensure fairness and to enhance our bot-protection, these two will no longer earn Cred + Points. Since real users are also impacted by the change, we’re compensating by enhancing the value of Anima NFT. Now, each Anima will earn 5 Cred, up from the previous 3.
In order to continue receiving Cred for Anima, please redo the verification every 30 days via the Cred Dashboard. The Verification works both on mobile and desktop.
For further details about Anima, visit our guide: https://phaver.gitbook.io/phaver-help-center/phaver-points-and-cred-score/anima-proof-of-personhood
Rest assured, bots will not receive Phaver tokens. Thank you for your cooperation frens ❤️
- $ 60K-$ 70K Range… 😳☹️
https://news.bitcoin.com/former-bitmex-chief-expects-bitcoin-to-trade-within-60k-70k-range-until-august/
- Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust Halts 78-Day Outflow Streak With $ 63M Inflow
Statistics indicate that after a prolonged period of 78 days, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust has ceased experiencing outflows, observing an infusion of $ 63 million on Friday, equating to around 1,030 bitcoins.
GBTC Sees First Inflows After 78 Days
For the time being, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) appears to have halted the depletion of bitcoin following its public debut as a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Jan. 11, 2024. Unique among its peers, GBTC has existed since 2013 as a private, open-ended trust catering to accredited investors via the OTCQX over-the-counter market.
GBTC offers investors a pathway to gain exposure to BTC without the necessity of direct acquisition. In its initial years, investors accepted a premium to hold shares in GBTC. In 2017, the premium for GBTC shares skyrocketed to 132%, and by Dec. 2020, it stood at 38.57%.
This premium shifted to a discount on the net asset value (NAV) by the end of Feb. 2021, maintaining this trend until it commenced public trading in Jan. 2024. By Dec. 2022, the discount deepened to more than 48% against GBTC’s NAV.

CARV Raises $ 10M 💰Series A to Build the Largest Modular Data Layer for Gaming and AI
CARV, the largest modular data layer for gaming and AI, today announced a $ 10M Series A on the heels of its recent strategic funding round. With this new backing from industry leaders, CARV will double down on building the largest modular data layer for gaming and AI, maximizing data innovation while ensuring individuals can share the value created in a user-owned internet.
The Series A was led by Tribe Capital and IOSG Ventures, with participation from key investors such as Consensys (developer of MetaMask and Linea), OKX Ventures, Fenbushi Capital, No Limit Holdings, Draper Dragon, Arweave, LiquidX, MARBLEX (the web3 arm of Netmarble), and more. This adds to the notable investors already on CARV’s cap table, including HashKey Capital, Infinity Ventures Crypto, and Temasek Holding’s subsidiary, Vertex Ventures.
"The backing from these top investors underscores their confidence in our mission to reshape data ownership and value distribution," said Victor Yu, CARV co-founder. "For too long, users’ data has fueled economic growth without them sharing the value created. The AI boom has increased demand for high-quality data for model training, but brands face challenges targeting users and ethically sourcing data amid tightening regulations. CARV empowers users to own, contribute, and monetize their data, capturing opportunities from the adtech reshuffling and AI revolution by putting them back in control."

- A16z Exec Blasts Meme Coins: They Make Crypto Look 'Like a Risky Casino'
Eddy Lazzarin, CTO of A16z Crypto, one of the largest cryptocurrency-focused venture capital funds, has criticized the meme coins’ effect on the broad appreciation of the cryptocurrency market. Lazzarin stated that meme coins undermined the “long-term vision of crypto” that has maintained some actors in the space, making it look “like a risky casino.”
A16z Crypto CTO Blasts Meme Coins, State They Hurt the Crypto Industry
Community coins, commonly known as meme coins, are under the spotlight of large cryptocurrency institutions. Eddy Lazzarin, CTO of A16z Crypto, a cryptocurrency-based venture capital (VC) fund with over $ 7.6 billion in assets under management, has criticized the effect that the recent rise of meme coins has on how outsiders view the cryptocurrency industry.
Answering a social media post that delved into the relationship between VCs and meme coins, Lazzarin disregarded any positive traits they might have. He stated:
Besides undermining the long-term vision of crypto that has kept so many of us in the space, memecoins aren’t very technically interesting. It shouldn’t be a surprise that they’re not attractive to builders.
Furthermore, Lazzarin stressed that meme coins affected “adoption, regulation/laws, and builder behavior,” stating that they caused real damage to the ecosystem. He noticed that their functionality and usability were also relative, given that serving “as a casino” to a small population was not exciting, and that it might have a “net negative effect.”
Creators and investors in the crypto industry have mixed feelings regarding meme coins. Ava Labs CEO Emin Gün Sirer has embraced the value behind them, with the Avalanche Foundation acquiring some of these tokens for its treasury.
Solana Labs CEO Anatoly Yakovenko had a negative view of the phenomenon, preferring meme coin holders to “do something good” instead. Lazzarin leans towards Yakovenko’s POV, concluding that meme coins make the crypto industry look “like a risky casino. Or a series of false promises masking a casino.”
Whether positive or negative, meme coins command a market cap of over $ 54 billion, according to Coingecko.

- Blackrock Bitcoin ETF Sees 70 Straight Days of Inflows — Holdings Near 274K BTC
The world’s largest asset manager with $ 10.5 trillion in assets under management, Blackrock, has seen 70 consecutive days of inflows into its spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This achievement places Ishares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has amassed approximately 274K bitcoins since its launch, among the top 10 ETFs with the longest daily inflow streaks.
IBIT: 70 Consecutive Days of Inflows, 274K Bitcoins
Blackrock’s spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Ishares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), has seen uninterrupted inflows for 70 consecutive days. IBIT stands at the forefront of the U.S. spot ETF landscape, commanding a dominant position among the 11 funds approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Jan. 10. In its first-quarter earnings release, Blackrock reported record assets under management of $ 10.5 trillion.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on social media platform X Monday morning that IBIT was just one day away from joining the top 10 ETFs with the lengthiest daily inflow streaks. Following an inflow of $ 19.7 million on Monday, IBIT now enjoys 70 consecutive days of inflows.
Since its launch, IBIT has accumulated 273,892.57 BTC, amounting to an approximate notional value of $ 18.18 billion.The amount of bitcoin held by Blackrock’s Ishares Bitcoin Trust is close to that of Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). GBTC has witnessed significant bitcoin outflows since its transition from a trust to a spot bitcoin ETF in January. As per Grayscale’s website, GBTC’s bitcoin holdings as of Monday totaled 304,220.4615 BTC.
Blackrock CEO Larry Fink recently expressed that he is “very bullish on the long-term viability of bitcoin.” He emphasized that Ishares Bitcoin Trust is “the fastest growing ETF in the history of ETFs,” adding that nothing has accumulated assets as swiftly as IBIT in ETF history. Fink also admitted to being pleasantly surprised by the remarkable retail demand, stating, “I’d never have predicted it before we filed it.”
- Venezuelan State Oil Company to Accelerate USDT Adoption for Settlements; Tether Vows to Uphold OFAC Sanctions
PDVSA, the state-owned Venezuelan oil company, would be preparing to migrate more of its payments portfolio to USDT, a dollar stablecoin, to avoid being affected by the restitution of U.S. sanctions. Reuters reported that the company started receiving payments in USDT last year and will accelerate its adoption. Tether, nonetheless, stated it will uphold OFAC sanctions when needed.
Venezuelan Oil Company PDVSA to Rely on USDT to Keep Ongoing Contracts
Venezuela is preparing to increase the reliance of one of its main industries on crypto and stablecoins payments. According to reports received by Reuters from three undetermined sources linked to PDVSA, the Venezuelan state-owned oil company, the government would be prepared to increase the amount of payments received in USDT, affected by the reinstation of unilateral U.S. sanctions against the country.
General License 44A, issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on April 17, provides the framework for companies with contracts with PDVSA and other Venezuelan gas and oil companies to wind down their joint business. The license established that these operations must be completed before May 31.
Reuters states that since last year, the company has started using USDT, a dollar-pegged stablecoin with a market capitalization of over $ 100 billion, as part of its accepted payment currencies. However, the upcoming reinstation of sanctions by the U.S. government has accelerated this process, with PDVSA shifting to a contract model that now demands more than half of each shipment’s payment to be made using USDT.
In addition, PDVSA would require companies adopting this kind of contract to register into its internal database and offer proof that they have the cryptocurrency needed to complete the payments, according to another source.
These precautions could derive from the recently uncovered money laundering and embezzlement scheme involving crypto payments for unregistered oil shipments. The scheme involved several former high-level members of the Venezuelan government, including former oil minister Tareck El Aissami and Joselit Ramirez, former head of the Venezuelan cryptocurrency watchdog Sunacrip, both currently arrested
While there is still no information on the amount of money embezzled and then laundered using crypto as a tool, earlier reports indicate that at least $ 20 billion was subtracted from the public treasury.
The alleged usage of USDT to sidestep U.S. sanctions has stirred the cryptocurrency community for its implied consequences. However, Tether vowed to uphold U.S. sanctions when required.
A spokesperson from Tether stated:
Tether respects the OFAC SDN list and is committed to working to ensure sanction addresses are frozen promptly.
This, however, might be difficult, as experts signal that the use of USDT for these payments might imply the intervention of intermediaries outside the traditional organizational structure of oil companies. A trader told Reuters that these transactions “don’t pass any trader’s compliance department, so the only way it works is to work with a broker.”

- Chinese Embassy Advises Citizens in Angola to Avoid Crypto Mining
The Chinese Embassy in Angola has cautioned its citizens residing in the African nation to refrain from mining cryptocurrencies, as this activity is now considered a criminal offense. The embassy has also urged its citizens to be vigilant of virtual currency schemes that exploit users’ aspirations for rapid wealth and assured returns.
Violators of Angola’s Anti-Crypto Mining Law Face Prison Time
The Chinese Embassy in Angola has warned its citizens and institutions operating in the African country against engaging in virtual currency “mining” activities, as prescribed by a recently passed law. The embassy also advised its citizens to understand that virtual currencies are not legal tender and to abstain from any transactions involving digital assets.
The warning from the Chinese Embassy, issued on April 12, came just days after Angola’s law prohibiting the mining of cryptocurrencies took effect. According to a statement, Angola’s law against crypto mining has classified cryptocurrency mining as a crime, punishable by up to 12 years in prison. Furthermore, the law stipulates that any person found in possession of mining devices could face up to five years in prison.
Chinese Citizens Involved in Crypto Mining Detained by Angolan Authorities
As previously reported by Bitcoin.com News, the Angolan legislature unanimously approved the law outlawing cryptocurrency mining and related activities in late December 2023. At the time, Otoniel Dos Santos, the Southern African nation’s Secretary of State for Finance and Treasury, justified the move, stating it safeguards Angola’s monetary policy sovereignty.
Santos also claimed that the environmental impact of crypto mining and its perceived threat to Angola’s energy security were other factors that necessitated the enactment of the law. The Chinese Embassy similarly highlighted the impact of crypto mining on the environment and the health of a financial system. The warning added:
The Angolan government has also cracked down on this. Since last year, several Chinese citizens in Angolan have been held legally responsible for engaging in virtual ‘mining’ and suspected of illegal use of electricity.
The Chinese Embassy has also advised its citizens to be wary of virtual currency schemes that prey on users’ desires for wealth and guaranteed returns. The embassy further encouraged citizens to protect their personal information and mobile devices.

The NFT Passports will be available to purchase using $CHMPZ tokens, providing exceptional utility.
In addition, all $CHMPZ tokens used to purchase an NFT Passport will be burnt, removing them from circulation.
As a result, the total $CHMPZ supply could fall from 8 billion tokens to just 3 billion $CHMPZ if all of the NFT Passports sell out.
Furthermore, with the majority of $CHMPZ tokens already staked in the ecosystem (5.7 billion are currently staked), traders believe that there’s a massive potential for a supply shock on the open market, meaning newcomers might struggle to buy $CHMPZ tokens at low prices.
Therefore, traders expect upward bullish pressure on $CHMPZ in the lead-up to the NFT sale – with further price hikes expected following the $CHMPZ burning.
Overall, the Chimpzee NFT Passports will be a game-changer for the wholesome Web3 project and will likely sell out quickly.
- Bitcoin Miners Ramp Up Hashrate as Halving Nears, Network Hits 653 EH/s Record
Just before the upcoming block reward halving, with only 72 blocks left until reaching block height 840,000, bitcoin miners have significantly boosted their hashrate. As of 8:50 a.m. EDT on April 19, 2024, the hashrate soared to a record 653 exahash per second (EH/s).
Bitcoin Hashrate Achieves New High as Halving Approaches
Just hours ahead of Bitcoin’s fourth halving, the network’s hashrate has set a new peak, reaching 653 EH/s on Friday—a 12 EH/s increase over the highest record set a week earlier. BTC miners are vigorously pursuing block height 840,000 to collect as many 6.25 BTC rewards as possible before they halve to 3.125 BTC.
141 EH/s.
Despite a spike in mining difficulty last week coupled with a notable price decline, the hashrate has persistently risen. Observers note that at its current growth rate, the hashrate might propel Bitcoin into the zettahash era within this cycle. One zettahash per second (ZH/s), or one quintillion kilohash per second (KH/s), is equivalent to 1,000 EH/s.
As of Jan. 1, 2024, the total network hashrate stood at about 512 EH/s, having climbed by 141 EH/s over recent months. In just the last three days, 438 blocks have been mined, with Foundry USA securing 126 of them.
Currently, Foundry holds a total hashrate of 187.59 EH/s, up from 140.26 EH/s in January—gaining an impressive 47.33 EH/s in the past 96 days. At the year’s start, Antpool led with 147.40 EH/s, now at 154.84 EH/s, showing a growth of 7.44 EH/s in the same period.
Viabtc’s hashrate stands at 89.33 EH/s today, up from 68.94 EH/s at the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, F2pool’s hashrate slightly dipped from 74.89 EH/s to 71.46 EH/s. Binance Pool experienced a modest increase from 22.58 EH/s to 23.82 EH/s, whereas Mara Pool’s hashrate decreased from 21.4 EH/s to 19.35 EH/s.
Should the hashrate maintain its current trajectory, the network could hit 1 zettahash per second around Dec. 11, 2024. Nonetheless, this halving and subsequent adjustments in mining difficulty could potentially temper the hashrate’s advancement.
