Tether has published a statement on its website addressing The Wall Street Journal. Company representatives described the journalists' publication about the investigation against Tether as "irresponsible," calling the accusations baseless and based on rumors and unnamed sources.

The WSJ article deliberately ignores documented facts of Tether's cooperation with law enforcement and instances of criminal wallet blocking, Tether noted.

The Bitcoin ETF from BlackRock attracted a record $872 million during the October 30 trading session, surpassing inflows seen when BTC reached its price peak in March.

In the past two weeks, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have received around $5 billion, with over half of this amount going to BlackRock’s fund. Only 10% of all existing ETFs have ever reached such capital volumes.

BlackRock bought another 12,127 $BTC ($877.17M)!

#BlackRock currently holds 429,185 $BTC ($31.04B).

Changpeng Zhao made his first public appearance since being released from prison.

The founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), attended a public event for the first time after his release from prison. Zhao shared his vision for Bitcoin’s future during his speech at Binance Blockchain Week.

At the end of 2023, Binance agreed to replace Zhao as the head of the platform and pay a $4.3 billion fine to settle U.S. Department of Justice charges related to money laundering and sanctions violations. Zhao was sentenced to an additional $50 million fine and a four-month prison term, and he was released at the end of September.

Zhao mentioned that during his time in prison, several guards asked him which cryptocurrencies to buy. While he declined to make short-term price predictions for Bitcoin, he expressed confidence in its growth, citing the four-year cycle: Bitcoin typically hits a new peak, corrects, recovers to the previous high, and then climbs to a new record. According to Zhao, 2024 is a year of recovery.

In September, Binance announced that Zhao was permanently barred from managing the exchange. He stated that he does not intend to return to management and will instead focus on investing in blockchain projects, AI, and biotech.

In mid-October, six Thai police officers broke into a Chinese citizen's home, accused him of document forgery, and demanded 10 million USDT.

Donald Trump's chances of winning the election and the Bitcoin price chart

The head of Coinbase spoke about the 'most pro-crypto Senate' in U.S. history.

On November 5, presidential elections were held in the U.S. Alongside the president, one-third of the Senate and the entire House of Representatives of the American Congress, as well as governors of 11 states and two territories, were elected.

According to Brian Armstrong, head of the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, more than 200 'pro-crypto' candidates have already been elected to the Senate and House of Representatives. In a post on X, Armstrong thanked everyone who 'stood up for crypto':

'Today, crypto voters spoke strongly — across party lines and in key votes nationwide. Americans, more than others, care about the issue of cryptocurrency and want clear regulatory rules for digital assets. We look forward to working with the new Congress to bring that to fruition.'

Armstrong refers to data from the site standwithcrypto.org, which catalogs American politicians, collecting their positions or statements for or against the crypto industry.

Santiment: The crypto community is celebrating Bitcoin's new all-time high.

Over the past year, wallets belonging to whales and sharks holding at least 10 BTC have accumulated a total of 234.15K BTC (currently valued at $19.76 billion). The cryptocurrency's ascent is largely due to the continuous trust and accumulation from these key large-scale participants.

However, ongoing FUD, capitulation, and inconsistent faith among the broader crowd in cryptocurrency (allowing whales to buy at lower prices) have also contributed to this historic rise.

Currently, euphoria is high (though it hasn’t reached the levels of mid-March when Bitcoin was at previous cycle highs).

Expect prices to rise as long as whales keep buying more, and retail traders continue to sell them their cheap coins during minor dips.

$IBIT has reached $40 billion in assets (just two weeks after hitting the $30 billion mark) in a record 211 days, breaking the previous record of 1,253 days held by $IEMG.

It now ranks in the top 1% of all ETFs by assets, and its age (10 months) surpasses all 2,800 ETFs launched over the last TEN years.

In October, the average dormancy time for #Bitcoin exceeded 5 years for the first time.

This metric, reflecting the average holding time of coins, now accounts for ~1/3 of Bitcoin’s total lifespan.

Historically, high average dormancy often preceded price jumps, according to Ark Invest.

Meme coins are outperforming other cryptocurrencies from the top 100 in terms of growth rates.

The leaders are PEPE, following its listing on Coinbase, Robinhood, and South Korea's Upbit, as well as PNUT and ACT, which Binance recently added to the spot market.

Whales significantly increased their purchases of DOGE – in the last 24 hours, large wallets have bought 140 million tokens, according to Santiment data.

Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $515 million last week — an all-time record since their launch.

Bitcoin ETFs recorded an inflow of $1.8 billion for the week.

More than 60 publicly traded companies have already adopted a Bitcoin strategy — and the number of such small private companies is estimated to be in the thousands.
