Hong Kong Approves First Wave of Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs for Trading

//

Hong Kong’s financial regulator, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), recently greenlit the debut of spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs), scheduled to commence trading on April 30, as per a Cointelegraph report.

The approved ETFs, spearheaded by China Asset Management (ChinaAMC), are poised to offer investors, both retail and institutional, a regulated avenue for delving into the world of digital assets.

Thomas Zhu, head of digital assets and family office business at ChinaAMC, emphasized the allure of these ETFs, stating, “The in-kind feature also attracts coin holders by offering the ease of converting coins to fully regulated ETFs managed by professional fund managers and regulated custodians.”

Hong Kong’s approach stands in contrast to the cash-centric model seen in the United States, with a focus on in-kind creation models that facilitate the generation of new ETF shares through BTC and ETH.

Rebecca Sin, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, highlighted the significance of this strategy, noting, “Hong Kong is aiming for in-kind creation of the ETF, unlike the US, where the transaction is cash only — in the US, it’s cash in, Bitcoin ETF out, while Hong Kong aims for Bitcoin in, ETF out.”

Anticipation surrounds the potential for a fee competition among ETF issuers in Hong Kong, with James Seyffart, another Bloomberg ETF analyst, suggesting, “A potential fee war could break out in Hong Kong over these Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.”

Harvest, in particular, is set to shake things up with a full fee waiver and a meager fee of 0.3% after the waiver.

Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, expressed optimism regarding the lower-than-expected fees for the initial ETFs, deeming it a promising indicator.

He observed, “Fees are 30bps, 60bps, and 99bps which is on average lower than we thought, good sign.”

The impending debut of these ETFs in Hong Kong not only marks a milestone in the region’s financial landscape but also signals a significant step forward in the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies within a regulated framework.

/

Starting Wednesday, New Yorkers gain access to trade Shiba Inu (SHIB), Avalanche (AVAX), and Compound (COMP) on Robinhood, expanding the platform’s offerings for Empire State residents to a total of 11 cryptocurrencies.

The move signifies Robinhood’s extension of trading opportunities for New York residents.

In a recent announcement, the platform unveiled the addition of Shiba Inu, Avalanche, and Compound to its list of tradable tokens in the Empire State, joining the existing options such as bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), dogecoin (DOGE), bitcoin cash (BCH), chainlink (LINK), litecoin (LTC), ethereum classic (ETC), and aave (AAVE).

The revelation came through an email sent to New York residents, as reported by The Block.

Robinhood’s decision to expand its cryptocurrency offerings in New York echoes its previous moves in the space.

Last June, the platform made headlines by delisting three token cryptocurrencies — Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), and Solana (SOL) — following a declaration by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding their status as securities.

Following the announcement, the prices of AVAX, SHIB, and COMP experienced slight declines, according to data from The Block.

AVAX is currently trading at $37.48, with SHIB and COMP priced at $0.000026 and $58.35, respectively.

Despite the minor dips, the addition of these tokens to Robinhood’s New York offerings opens up further avenues for trading and investment for Empire State residents.

In summary, Robinhood’s decision to enable trading of Shiba Inu, Avalanche, and Compound for New Yorkers marks an expansion of its cryptocurrency offerings in the state, providing investors with access to a wider range of digital assets on the platform.

Australia Hits Milestone: 1,000 Active Bitcoin ATMs Now in Operation

//

Australia has reached a significant milestone in the realm of cryptocurrency, now boasting 1,000 active crypto-fiat machines, making it the third-largest hub for Bitcoin ATMs globally.

This achievement, as of April 24, marks a notable growth in the country’s crypto infrastructure.

Coin ATM Radar data reveals that Australia joins the ranks of the United States and Canada in surpassing the 1,000 mark for Bitcoin ATMs.

Currently, Australia represents 2.7% of the global Bitcoin ATM network, showcasing a steady rise in adoption and accessibility within the country.

The United States, leading the global landscape, hosts the majority share of Bitcoin ATMs, accounting for 82.8% with a staggering 31,170 machines.

Following closely, Canada holds 7.8% of the global market share with 2,918 crypto ATMs.

Australia’s journey to becoming a prominent player in the crypto ATM space wasn’t always evident.

Historically considered an inactive market, the country experienced a surge in adoption since the latter part of 2022, largely fueled by the involvement of private enterprises.

By April 2023, Australia had surpassed Asia in Bitcoin ATM count, a region encompassing major economies like China, Japan, Singapore, and India.

\With the current installation pace, Australia is on track to outpace Europe, which currently holds 4.3% of all active Bitcoin ATMs, totaling 1,617 machines.

Among other countries with notable crypto ATM presence are Spain (261 machines), El Salvador (215), Poland (211), Germany (194), and Hong Kong (157), showcasing a global trend towards increased accessibility to cryptocurrencies.

In a recent development reported by Cointelegraph, hackers who previously disclosed El Salvador’s Bitcoin ATM database have now released a portion of the source code for the country’s state-operated Chivo Bitcoin wallet.

The hacker group, CiberInteligenciaSV, shared the code on a public forum, emphasizing its origin from a government wallet and its availability for public scrutiny.

Local cybersecurity project VenariX issued a warning on April 22 regarding the impending leak, referencing announcements made by CiberInteligenciaSV’s Telegram channel regarding their plans to release the source code.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Burns Bright: Surge in Burn Rate Ignites Bullish Optimism in Crypto Market

/

Shiba Inu (SHIB), hailed as the purported Dogecoin challenger in the meme coin arena, has sent ripples of excitement through the cryptocurrency market today, with its burn rate skyrocketing by approximately 2200%.

This surge in burn rate, occurring amidst a notable market uptrend reflected by the token, has set ablaze a bullish sentiment among crypto enthusiasts, sparking speculation about a potential upward trajectory in its price.

As of the latest update, SHIB has been trading positively, although it experienced brief dips into the red territory within the last day.

Nevertheless, buoyed by a significant increase in its burn rate, coupled with several other bullish indicators, SHIB has shone brightly with optimism on April 24.

Observers in the crypto community anticipate a strengthened price movement for SHIB, despite its recent sideways trading around the $0.000027 mark.

According to data from Shibburn, the burn rate of Shiba Inu surged by a staggering 2211.89% over the past 24 hours, resulting in the incineration of 1.84 million coins.

This surge is perceived as a bullish development, as it addresses SHIB’s supply concerns, thereby influencing the token’s market dynamics.

Remarkably, the Shiba crypto community has witnessed the destruction of an astonishing 410.726 trillion SHIB tokens to date, primarily attributable to the token’s burn mechanism.

Consequently, the current circulating supply stands at 582.86 trillion SHIB, underscoring the meme coin’s innovative cryptographic endeavor aimed at curbing excessive supply and enhancing demand and price.

At the time of writing, Shiba Inu has noted a 0.92% upswing in the past 24 hours, settling at $0.00002704.

Despite experiencing lows and highs of $0.00002629 and $0.00002796, respectively, SHIB has largely maintained a sideways trading pattern.

However, in conjunction with today’s price surge, derivatives data has reinforced a strong uptrend in the SHIB market.

Coinglass data reveals a 9.53% increase in the meme coin’s open interest, accompanied by a 29.04% rise in derivatives volume, indicating growing investor interest and bolstering SHIB’s optimistic outlook.

Furthermore, an analysis by CoinGape Media highlights key market dynamics for SHIB, suggesting a potential price target of $0.000036 should bullish sentiment persist.

Additionally, a significant on-chain whale transaction for Shiba Inu between unknown wallets today further supports the narrative of heightened investor interest in the asset, painting a positive outlook for SHIB’s future, albeit with a cautionary note on the volatile nature of the crypto market.

DAO Maker Faces Backlash Over Unfulfilled Compensation Promises Following $7M Hack

//

DAO Maker, a crypto fundraising platform focused on Web3 projects, is distinct from the MakerDAO stablecoin protocol and aims to raise significant funds in 2024.

Despite this initiative, the platform is under scrutiny from victims of a 2021 hack who claim they have not been fully compensated for their losses, despite promises from the development team.

The hack, resulting in a loss of approximately $7 million, was attributed to a compromised private key, which victims allege stemmed from developer negligence.

Initially, DAO Maker responded to the August 2021 breach by distributing 500 USD Coin per affected user and promising further compensation through a new IOU token named “USDR,” scheduled to be redeemable within a year for the platform’s native DAO token at enhanced rates.

However, victims told Cointelegraph that they were never able to redeem their USDR tokens, and the promised redemption process was reportedly canceled following a governance vote influenced by DAO Maker using its substantial token holdings.

Adding to the controversy, a decentralized finance (DeFi) researcher from SOMA Analytics reported that DAO Maker might have manipulated the governance vote to abandon the USDR redemption and attempted to erase evidence of this decision.

Victims of the hack remain uncompensated, and the USDR token has become nearly worthless, with no active market or exchange possibilities.

One investor, speaking under the pseudonym “Red Drac,” described receiving 500 USDT immediately after the hack and 1,500 USDR later, which they were unable to redeem or sell at full value.

They discovered a liquidity pool that offered the USDR tokens at a substantial discount but chose not to sell, leaving the tokens in their wallet.

Another affected user, “Zztelecom,” also highlighted the inability to redeem USDR, buying them at a discount in the hope of future gains that never materialized.

SOMA Analytics further detailed how a specific proposal on the DAO Maker platform to adjust the USDR redemption terms was passed by just six wallets, suggesting potential manipulation.

This proposal reduced the redemption value of USDR significantly, contradicting earlier commitments.

Despite the DAO vote favoring a 50% redemption rate, no compensation was distributed, and the tokens were made unredeemable for anything other than DAO Power on the platform, effectively rendering them useless in the secondary market.

The situation has left many investors with tokens that offer little more than the potential to participate in future token offerings without guarantee of profit.

As DAO Maker continues to operate, servicing Web3 startups and maintaining a significant market presence, the unresolved issues from the hack raise ongoing concerns about governance and compensation practices within the platform.

Cointelegraph’s inquiries to DAO Maker for comments remained unanswered at the time of publication.

$60 Million in Tether Issued on The Open Network (TON) in First Days

//

Since Tether began supporting The Open Network (TON) on April 19, $60 million worth of Tether has been issued on the platform.

This places TON as the 11th-largest blockchain for Tether among the 16 that currently support the stablecoin.

The announcement of this initiative was made at the Token2049 crypto conference in Dubai, signifying a strategic collaboration between the stablecoin issuer and the TON Foundation.

Alongside Tether, the firm has also introduced the gold-pegged Tether Gold (XAUT) stablecoin on the TON blockchain.

The Open Network team emphasized the efficiency of this new offering, highlighting that cross-border payments can be made instantly and without fees, as simply as sending a text message to any of Telegram’s 900 million users.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expressed optimism about the partnership’s early results, noting in a social media post on April 21 that $35 million in USDT had already been issued on TON within the first two days.

This figure has since increased to $60 million according to the latest Tether Transparency report.

The integration with Telegram allows users to send money seamlessly through direct messages without the need for blockchain addresses or additional applications.

The platform also supports fully integrated on-ramps for most global fiat currencies at launch, and plans are in place to introduce global off-ramps that will facilitate withdrawals directly to bank accounts or cards.

Despite these developments on TON, the majority of Tether’s $109.8 billion circulating supply remains on the Tron network, which hosts $57.8 billion.

Ethereum follows with $51 billion in circulation, although this figure has been decreasing as Tether expands to other blockchains to mitigate high network fees associated with Ethereum.

Other blockchains supporting Tether include Solana, which ranks third with $1.9 billion issued, and several others such as Avalanche, Omni, Cosmos, Tezos, Near, EOS, and Celo.

In the broader stablecoin market, Tether maintains a dominant position with a 69% market share of the total $159.5 billion stablecoin market capitalization, as per data from CoinGecko.

Circle’s USD Coin, the nearest competitor, holds a 21% market share with $33.7 billion in circulation.

Following the announcement, the price of Toncoin spiked by 22%, although it quickly reverted to its prior levels. As of the latest update, Toncoin is trading down 1.6% at $6.13.

ZKasino Faces Backlash for Misusing $33 Million in User Funds, Sparking Fraud Allegations and Investor Outrage

//

The blockchain gambling platform ZKasino has faced significant criticism after diverting $33 million in investor and user funds to the staking protocol Lido.

This move, disclosed in a blog post on April 20, deviated sharply from the initial promise to return these funds.

According to ZKasino’s announcement, its network had successfully launched, attracting over 10,000 users who transferred a total of 10,515 Ether in exchange for the platform’s native ZKasino (ZKAS) tokens.

Contrary to expectations, the platform converted the bridged ETH to ZKAS tokens at a “discounted rate of $0.055” on a 15-month vesting schedule, a change from the original plan.

ZKasino described these changes as “done as a favour” to ensure a “seamless transition” to its chain, which does not utilize ETH.

This led to user concerns, especially after the company altered its website to omit previous guarantees of ETH returns.

Further scrutiny arose after an on-chain analysis revealed that ZKasino had transferred all the user’s ETH to Lido. Adding to the controversy, an anonymous developer identified as “cygaar” criticized the technological underpinnings of ZKasino’s blockchain.

According to cygaar, the blockchain was merely an “Arbitrum Nitro chain that took 2 minutes to deploy” and did not incorporate the promised zero knowledge or EigenDA technologies.

Outraged users have voiced their concerns on X, with some accusing the project of being an exit scam and sharing personal details of ZKasino’s founder, known as “Derivatives Monke,” to push for legal actions.

READ MORE: Pro-XRP Lawyer John Deaton Advocates for Coinbase Users in SEC Lawsuit, Sets Sights on Senate Seat

The situation escalated with Venture capital firm Big Brain denouncing the project.

In an X post dated April 21, Big Brain clarified that it “never invested in ZKasino” despite previous claims by ZKasino of securing a Series A funding at a valuation of $350 million from notable firms including MEXC and Big Brain Holdings.

In response, MEXC, a crypto exchange implicated as an investor, distanced itself from ZKasino’s actions.

On April 21, TechFlow reported MEXC’s statement emphasizing that the exchange was “just one of the investors” and also a victim of ZKasino’s decisions.

Meanwhile, both ZKasino and its founder have remained largely silent on the backlash, except for minimal updates and responses to criticisms on X.

Despite the turmoil, Derivatives Monke continues to engage minimally on the platform, indicating a commitment to “keep building,” reflecting a possible attempt to maintain a facade of normalcy amidst the growing controversy.

Crypto Analyst Credible Crypto Offers Mixed Outlook on Dogecoin: Forecasts Short-Term Decline with Long-Term Rally Potential

/

The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant bull run since October 2023, marked by a strong Bitcoin (BTC) rally.

This surge has propelled both old and new meme coins, with many achieving new highs or approaching their previous peaks.

Amidst this upbeat market atmosphere, Dogecoin (DOGE), the first meme coin ever created, has been the subject of many optimistic forecasts suggesting it could soon exceed $1.

However, a prominent crypto analyst known as Credible Crypto on YouTube and CrediBULL Crypto on X has a nuanced view on these bullish predictions.

He recently outlined a strategy for shorting DOGE, signaling a less optimistic short-term outlook for the coin.

According to him, Dogecoin has not yet established a clear uptrend as it lacks consecutive higher highs and higher lows, and seems to be at a distribution top.

Credible Crypto’s analysis suggests that while DOGE’s price might rise for a while, it is expected to reach a critical zone between $0.19 and $0.20, which it will likely fail to maintain.

He plans to take a short position once Dogecoin hits this price range, anticipating a drop to major support levels, likely around $0.09-$0.10, and possibly even as low as $0.05.

READ MORE: Cryptocurrency Users Settle with Ex-FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried in Class-Action Lawsuit

Despite his short-term bearish stance, Credible Crypto remains optimistic about the long-term prospects of meme coins, including Dogecoin.

He predicts that the broader crypto market’s current corrections are just part of a cycle that will eventually lead to a ‘meme coin megafinale’ featuring a significant Dogecoin rally above $1.

He suggests that the expected decline to $0.05 could provide an excellent entry point for a long position in anticipation of this rally.

This approach reflects the mixed performance of DOGE, which, while showing significant gains over the past year, has also experienced substantial volatility.

Over the last 52 weeks, Dogecoin has seen an impressive 100.27% increase, with a 77.68% rise in 2024 alone.

However, it has recently faced some resistance, with a notable 8.27% decrease over the past 30 days but remains slightly positive on the weekly chart with a 1.88% increase.

As of today, the price of DOGE stands at $0.1587, having dropped by 0.86% in the last 24 hours.
