Image
On-chain sleuth ZachXBT noted 213 million XRP tokens moved through almost a dozen addresses to centralized exchanges in an apparent Ripple hack. The XRP tokens worth roughly $112.5 million started moving on Jan. 30 before being laundered on platforms like Binance, Gate, HTX, HitBTC, Kraken, and OKX, according to ZachXBT’s investigation.  Shortly after ZachXBT reported the incident, Ripple co -founder and executive chairman Chris Larsen said there was unauthorized access to some of his personal XRP accounts.  Larsen stressed that the tokens were not controlled by Ripple as a company, adding that exchanges and law enforcement had been informed about what may be a hack. Yesterday, there was unauthorized access to a few of my personal XRP accounts (not @Ripple) – we were quickly able to catch the problem and notify exchanges to freeze the affected addresses. Law enforcement is already involved. https://t.co/T3HtKSlzLg — Chris Larsen (@chrislarsensf) January 31, 2024 You might

Hedge Fund Manager Anthony Scaramucci Predicts Bitcoin Will Soar To $170,000 After The Halving

Skybridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci predicts that Bitcoin might surge to $170,000 after the halving event in April. “Go back and look at Bitcoin halving cycles,” Scaramucci said i n an interview with crypto influencer Scott Melker. “ The day that Bitcoin halves, multiply it by four 18 months later and it’s been uncanny that that’s been the price of Bitcoin.” The hedge fund veteran said that BTC skyrocketing to as high as $170,000 following the upcoming halving in April would not be out of the ordinary, based on historical patterns, and his prediction is based on a conservative forecast for the Bitcoin price of $35,000 in April.   Anthony Scaramucci Says BTC Might Even Hit $240,000 Scaramucci did not rule out the possibility of the king of crypto trading at a much higher price after the halving event. If BTC reaches $50,000 in April, it could soar to $200,000. If the market leader’s price hits $60,000 come the halving event, the subsequent target would be as high as $240

Issuers are monitoring SEC staff signals for willingness to engage on Ethereum ETF applications, similar to spot Bitcoin ETFs.
