1. Crypto Market Last Week
Last week, Bitcoin did not experience significant fluctuations as its price remained stable between $90,000 and $100,000, currently trading around $96,000. While Bitcoin seemed “quiet,” the crypto market was buzzing with two major events that shook the community.
The first was the memecoin LIBRA scandal involving Argentine President Javier Milei. The revelation exposed numerous shady connections behind the scenes, along with suspicions of insider trading amid the recent memecoin frenzy, causing negative repercussions for related projects. Additionally, the Bybit exchange announced that hackers had stolen $1.46 billion worth of Ethereum from its cold wallet. This is considered one of the most devastating hacks, not only in crypto history but globally.
Meanwhile, FTX has also begun refunding users who had their assets frozen following the exchange’s collapse in 2022. After two years of waiting, this marks a significant step forward for the affected community.
