📢 Weekly TL;DR

Every Monday morning, we cover the latest developments and trends in the dynamic and ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency. From price movements, industry news and our favorite resources, we strive to provide our readers with a comprehensive overview of the crypto landscape.

Last week was undoubtedly a tumultuous one in markets and across the board. As you may have heard, a couple of banks instrumental to the crypto industry folded up shop. This and the appointed Chairmen of the Federal Reserve and the Securities Exchange Commission fared no better:

  • Jerome Powell was grilled by politicians on both sides of the aisle in  Congress.
  • While Gary Gensler’s SEC lawyers were challenged in court, where Judges sided with opposing counsel in not one, but two separate judicial proceedings (DCG/Grayscale and Binance/Voyager).

  • Silicon Valley Bank, the 16th largest in the US and the 2nd largest failure of its kind in the country’s history. (See News items below)

  • NFTs continue to make headlines:
