Here’s what happened in crypto today

Need to know what happened in crypto today? Here is the latest news on daily trends and events impacting Bitcoin price, blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and crypto regulation.

Today in crypto, Arizona state lawmakers have advanced a Bitcoin strategic reserve bill, analysts say leveraged memecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) filings show issuers are testing Trump-era regulators, and MicroStrategy is raising additional capital for Bitcoin acquisitions.

Arizona Senate moves forward with Bitcoin reserve legislation
Arizona lawmakers have advanced a Bitcoin strategic reserve bill, which seeks to deploy the world’s first cryptocurrency as a savings technology for the state.

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act (SB1025), which is co-sponsored by Senator Wendy Rogers and Representative Jeff Weninger, was passed by the Arizona State Senate Finance Committee with a five to two vote on Jan. 27.

The bill will now move to the Senate Rules Committee for final debate and amendments. Approval by the Senate would advance the bill to the House of Representatives.

The bill would allow up to 10% of a government entity’s or public fund’s capital to be invested in Bitcoin

and other digital assets. It also opens the door for pension funds to allocate resources to Bitcoin, potentially increasing public interest in cryptocurrencies.

Tuttle’s 10 leveraged crypto ETFs filings show issuers testing limits
Tuttle Capital has filed for ten crypto-based leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including some for memecoins, which analysts say show issuers are testing the limits of Trump-era regulators.

Tuttle’s proposed ETFs include funds that are two times leveraged long on memecoins, including Official Trump (TRUMP), Melania Meme (MELANIA) — launched by Donald Trump and wife Melania — and Bonk
BONK
$0.00002501
.

“To be very clear here. This is a case of issuers testing the limits of what this SEC is going to allow,” Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said in a Jan. 27 X post.

Tuttle’s filings follow bids from Osprey Funds and REX Shares on Jan. 21 to launch ETFs for several memecoins, including TRUMP, BONK and Dogecoin
DOGE
$0.3234
Seyffart added he expects the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new crypto task force led by crypto-friendly Commissioner Hester Peirce to “be the lynchpin in determining what’s gonna be allowed vs what isn’t.”

Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said on X that Tuttle’s filings are “unusual,” but unless the SEC knocks them back, “they could be out and trading in April.”

MicroStrategy proposes 2.5 million share offering to fund Bitcoin purchases
MicroStrategy has proposed a stock offering to raise cash for “general corporate purposes,” including acquiring more Bitcoin
BTC
$101,989
, signaling its intent to continue accumulating the digital asset.

According to a Jan. 27 announcement, MicroStrategy intends to offer 2.5 million units of its perpetual strike preferred stock,

which is a type of stock that has a liquidation preference and pays dividends at a fixed rate. Holders also have the option of converting it into common stock.

According to MicroStrategy, its offering will have a per-share liquidation preference of $100. Dividends are payable quarterly, beginning on March 31.

In the announcement, MicroStrategy described itself as the “world’s first and largest Bitcoin Treasury Company,”

signaling that its business intelligence software is no longer its primary business.

In its fiscal third quarter, the company’s revenues declined 10.3% year over year to $116.1 million. Its gross profit margin also fell to 70.4% from 79.4% for the third quarter of 2023.

Tokenization, AI and real-world adventures: The next wave of crypto engagement

An airdrop with IRL claiming lets players unlock NFTs and rewards while exploring cities, blending real-world adventure with blockchain technology for an interactive gaming experience.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) emerged as a fundamental change in how we perceive ownership and value in the art world. Leveraging blockchain technology, NFTs enabled enthusiasts to be the sole owners of digital art while also allowing traditional art to be carried onchain.

As the blockchain space matured, NFTs gained new functions and extended their applications to gaming, event access and community engagement. For example, token gating, which limits access to events,

content or services based on token ownership, has gained traction. This model has been adopted for exclusive events and digital assets, emphasizing the versatility of NFTs as tools for engagement and monetization.

Collecting NFTs in cities worldwide
Belong is a platform for tokenization and AI-powered events, properties, and engagement campaigns. It exemplifies how Web3 technologies can reshape engagement and community building.

The platform enables users to manage NFT-based event access, loyalty programs and rewards directly from their mobile devices and participate in gamified experiences.

Cointelegraph Accelerator participant Belong provides a seamless way for communities to use NFTs for social engagement and exclusivity, fostering a deeper connection between projects and users.

Chain Atlas, a recently launched initiative by Belong, is a crypto game that transforms real-world cities into interactive game boards. At its core, Chain Atlas simplifies crypto engagement with a gamified experience.

Unlike traditional airdrops requiring complex tasks, players can mint geo-based NFTs by simply stepping outside and visiting iconic city landmarks.

Describing the initiative, Jay Jidelov, CEO of Belong, said:

“Belong’s Chain Atlas redefines onchain engagement by merging blockchain with real-world exploration. This geo-based crypto game lets users mint gas-free NFTs, earn Proof-of-Location tokens and complete AI-guided missions while connecting crypto and non-crypto communities.

Backed by SKALE and XDAO, the first season of Chain Atlas transforms cities into game boards, blending gamification with blockchain innovation to drive global adoption and collaboration in Web3.”

Ether ETFs surpass $2.5B as ETH positions for $3.5K breakout

Ether ETFs surpassed $2.5B in inflows, signaling optimism despite a 10% price drop and resistance at $3,500.

Institutions like VanEck predict a $6,000 cycle top for Ether price during 2025.

Ether may be poised for a breakout, bolstered by the Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) surpassing the $2.5 billion milestone.

The United States spot Ether
ETH

$3,491.11
ETFs surpassed $2.5 billion worth of total inflows on Dec. 24, when the ETFs received $53 million in cumulative net inflows, Farside Investors data shows.

Despite the positive ETF inflows, Ether’s price was down almost 10% on the weekly chart, trading at $3,475 at 1:00 pm UTC on Dec. 25, Cointelegraph Markets Pro data showed.

Ether’s price may see more upside momentum once it flips the $3,500 psychological mark into resistance,

according to crypto analyst Satoshi Flipper, who wrote in a Dec. 25 X post:

“ETH breaking out as expected, price now trying to flip the $3.5k level from resistance to support.”

Round psychological numbers like $3,500 invite increased retail investor attention, but investor sentiment could take a hit if Ether cannot cross the mark.

Ether to $4,000 before Trump’s inauguration: analyst
Crypto analysts are optimistic about Ether’s price trajectory leading into 2025.

Ether’s price may be on track for a rally above $4,000 before Jan. 20, when President-elect Donald Trump will take office, according to a Bybit spokesperson, who told Cointelegraph:

“Bybit analysts see $4,000 on the horizon for ETH before Jan. 20.”

Coinbase wrapped Bitcoin deploys on Solana, aimed at growing DeFi market

The deployment will allow utilization of Bitcoin in Solana’s burgeoning DeFi ecosystem, according to Coinbase.

America’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, deployed its version of wrapped Bitcoin on the layer-1 blockchain Solana as it seeks to expand the adoption of the asset in decentralized finance (DeFi).

“This is the first token Coinbase has issued on Solana, and with it, we’re excited to bring easy access to BTC,” the company said in a Nov. 7 post on X.

Coinbase added that cbBTC will take the form of a Solana Program Library (SPL) token, a Solana-based token that can represent both fungible and non-fungible assets.

“The token is backed 1:1 with Bitcoin

and allows users to utilize Bitcoin in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem,” it added.

It listed several Solana-base decentralized exchanges and DeFi protocols that cbBTC will be available on, including Jupiter,

Meteora, Kamino Finance, Raydium, Phoenix, Jito and Drift.

“Bitcoin is king, and the vision is for Kamino to be one of the largest cbBTC venues in DeFi,” said the team behind the Solana-based lending, liquidity and leverage protocol.

Coinbase’s country director for Singapore, Hassan Ahmed, announced plans to launch cbBTC on Solana at the Breakpoint event in September.

The firm has already deployed 135 cbBTC worth about $10 million to Solana, according to the Solana blockchain explorer Solscan.

Additionally, cbBTC fills a gap left by soBTC, a previous Solana-based wrapped Bitcoin asset that depegged and failed during the collapse of the FTX exchange.

The Coinbase asset is not the only version of wrapped BTC on Solana as it joins a growing number of programmable Bitcoin variants on the network, including Threshold’s tBTC,

Zeus Network’s zBTC and WBTC via Wormhole, the Solana team said on Nov. 7.

Coinbase’s wrapped Bitcoin asset has seen its market capitalization surge to more than $1 billion since its launch in mid-September.

Geopolitical tensions, US elections favor Bitcoin ‘debasement trade’: JPMorgan

If Donald Trump wins the United States presidential elections in November, the trend could accelerate, according to the report.

Investors are turning toward gold and Bitcoin
BTC

$62,276.05
in a so-called “debasement trade” as they brace for a “catastrophic scenario” amid rising geopolitical tensions, according to an Oct. 3 report by JPMorgan.

“[R]ising geopolitical tensions and the coming [United States] election are likely to reinforce the ‘debasement trade’ thus favoring both gold and Bitcoin,” according to the report, which JPMorgan shared with Cointelegraph.

The so-called ‘debasement trade’ refers to a spike in gold demand caused by factors ranging from “structurally higher geopolitical uncertainty since 2022,

to persistent high uncertainty about the longer-term inflation backdrop, to concerns about […] persistently high government deficits across major economies,” among others, JPMorgan said.

Spiking open interest on BTC futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) suggests

“speculative institutional investors such as hedge funds might see gold and Bitcoin as similar assets,” according to the report.

Net open interest on CME BTC futures has risen from approximately 10,000 contracts at the start of 2024 to upward of 40,000 as of Oct. 1.

“In addition, the fact that Bitcoin [exchange-traded funds] started seeing inflows again in September after an outflow in August suggests that retail investors might also see gold and Bitcoin in a similar fashion,” according to the report.

Cryptocurrency ETFs saw inflows of more than $20 billion in 2024, according to data from fund researcher Morningstar.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) greenlighted spot BTC and Ether
ETH

$2,431.17
ETFs in January and July, respectively.

The “debasement trade” could become even more pronounced if Republican US presidential nominee Donald Trump prevails in November’s elections, claimed the report.

“A Trump win in particular, apart from being supportive of Bitcoin from a regulatory point of view, would likely reinforce the

“debasement trade” both via tariffs (geopolitical tensions) and via an expansionary fiscal policy (“debt debasement”),” the report said.

Trump has courted the crypto industry with promises to “fire” the SEC’s chairman, Gary Gensler, and make the US the “crypto capital of the world.”

Some pro-crypto Trumpers suggest he ‘lost their votes’ after token launch

Though many Donald Trump supporters said nothing would stop them from voting for the Republican candidate, others didn’t seem pleased by his latest crypto lending project.

Less than 24 hours after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced plans to launch a token through his World Liberty Financial project, many crypto users criticized the move through social media.

In August, Donald Trump and his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, began teasing a decentralized finance (DeFi) project through X without many details regarding its purpose.

The Republican candidate made headlines on Sept. 12, announcing that he would host an X Spaces discussion about World Liberty Financial on Sept. 18.

In the lead-up to the X Spaces event, some pro-crypto Trump supporters expressed skepticism about the idea.

Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter reportedly said the project was a “huge mistake,” claiming his campaign was “cashing in on his recent embrace of crypto in a kind of naive way.”

Mixed response after launch
The X Spaces event revealed few details about the project besides the leaders’ plan to launch a WLFI token,

which they did not consider a security under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s purview. Some crypto users took to social media to suggest that Trump had lost their vote by associating himself with the project.

“Trump launching a sh*tcoin may have been the final straw to lose my vote,” said Mitchell Askew on X. “It’s one thing for him to be ‘pro Crypto’ instead of just ‘pro Bitcoin’ – not everyone is a maxi,

I get it. But it’s another thing to drop a 70% pre-mined token on his followers 7 weeks before the election. This just adds to a growing list of unforced errors from the Trump Campaign.”

Others on X who seemed to support the Republican candidate did not explicitly say they wouldn’t be voting for him in November but suggested that the timing of the WLFI project was bad and

potentially risky. The project’s launch came less than a week after many pundits said Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris won a televised debate with Trump, tightening what will likely be an extremely close election.

“[…] before the voter who is not a staunchly single-issue Bitcoin or, more broadly, crypto voter, there are so many other issues […] I can’t say that there’s proof of pivot,”

Penn State Dickinson Law Professor Tonya Evans, the author of Digital Money Demystified,

told Cointelegraph. “Those who are not single-issue voters have to take a second look at the reality. [Trump] did not speak clearly or well [about] the logistics of the plan. This was built up as the moment that we get a plan and not ‘concepts of a plan.’”

Bitcoin ‘could very well catch fire’ as next generation of investors mature

Economist and podcast host Suze Orman is bullish on Bitcoin but said ETFs are the way to go.

Financial adviser Suze Orman, a best-selling author and host of the Women & Money podcast, recently discussed why everyone should own Bitcoin and how the next generation of investors could define the future of cryptocurrency.

Orman’s comments came during a recent interview with her former employer, CNBC. She hosted the Suze Orman Show from 2002 to 2016, which was among the network’s most highly rated finance-oriented programs.

During the interview, Orman bucked the trend set by her contemporaries in the financial advisory industry and recommended that everyone invest in Bitcoin

In he interview, Orman said:

“As younger people make more money and mature, [Bitcoin] will be one of their investments of choice, and that will cause it to go up.”
Semi-bullish
While her bullishness extends to having Bitcoin in her own portfolio, she did show some trepidation, stating that she’s only invested via Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

“I don’t think it will ever be a currency or a store of value,” Orman lamented, “but because the younger generation has a fascination

with it — and you see the energy — a whole lot of people having interest in it,” she added, “eventually it could very well catch fire.”

Orman explained that she feels better owning an ETF “because I would never want to see an FTX happen again.” Orman added that she’d “never understand how the wallets work and how if you lose your passcode, you never get it again.”

Ultimately, however, Orman’s message was clear. As she told CNBC, “Everybody should absolutely have exposure to Bitcoin.”

She does, however, caution that holders “gotta be OK with losing that money” and advises that traders only invest as much as they can afford.

The 25Healthiest Food to Eat Every Day

All too often, seemingly healthy snacks are secretly loaded with sugar, saturated fat, and carbohydrates. That’s why we handpicked the healthiest foods to eat that are delicious and incredibly easy to cook.

After all, rule number one for sticking to a smart meal plan is to not get bored, and these healthy ingredients will keep you on your toes (promise!).

You’ll notice something that all these healthy foods have in common: each one is a basic ingredient, such as a fruit, vegetable, grain, or dairy product. That means no pre-packaged products with a laundry list of strange-sounding ingredients.

You can use this as a rule of thumb when shopping: if the food is simple, wholesome, plant-based, and minimally processed, you’re in good shape. (Literally.)

Now, on to the healthiest foods to eat list.

Oatmeal keeps cholesterol in check, helps fight against heart disease, and keeps you full until lunch, thanks to its soluble fiber. Look for old-fashioned or steel-cut varieties.

Try this: For a savory breakfast, drizzle cooked oatmeal with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan, or try this oatmeal recipe with spinach and poached eggs.

You’ll get nearly 20 percent of your daily dose of fiber in one 1/2 cup serving of avocado, plus cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fats.1

Try this: For a side dish, halve an avocado, drizzle with soy sauce and fresh lime juice, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Or try avocado toast.

Walnuts are a solid source of omega-3 fatty acids—the fats that lower the bad-for-you cholesterol (LDL) and raise the good-for-you kind (HDL).

Try this: For a healthy on-the-go snack, pack a handful of walnuts with some dried figs and a few anise seeds. (As the ingredients sit together, the anise releases flavor.) Or try this Corn Salad With Feta and Walnuts recipe.

Meaty and filling, as a stand-in for beef, mushrooms can slash up to 400 calories from a meal.

Try this: Sauté sliced mushrooms and shallots until tender. Add a splash of white wine and cook until evaporated. Serve over roasted fish or chicken. Or try Mushroom White Pizza.
