🚀BTC new ATH🚀 Bitcoin Mining Difficult100T 🛠️Tether.io’s Q3 Attestation report ❗SEC vs Immutable (Wells notice served) 🔥OpenSea new improved platform
🚀hashtag#BTC has reached a new ATM as President Trump is leading the election race + The FOMC meeting by the Federal Reserve Board takes place on the 7th of November
🟠Bitcoin’s mining difficulty hit a record 101.65T, with the hashrate reaching 755 EH/s. This increased difficulty, which adjusts every two weeks, puts pressure on smaller miners who may need to sell Bitcoin to cover costs. In October, the hashrate surged nearly 12% in a day, and miners are now producing about 450 Bitcoin daily. Miners’ reduced sell-side pressure recently suggests overall stability, though higher difficulty challenges remain. Check out Blockchain DXB episode for today,we share our commentary on this
🟢Tether's Q3 2024 report, audited by BDO, highlights record-breaking financials with a $2.5 billion quarterly profit, bringing its nine-month profit to $7.7 billion. Tether's assets now total $134.4 billion, including $102.5 billion in U.S. Treasuries, making it one of the top global holders if treated as a nation. The company reached an all-time high of nearly $120 billion in USDT circulation, a 30% increase this year. Tether also grew its reserve buffer to over $6 billion and expanded strategic investments, such as renewable energy and Bitcoin mining, reinforcing its commitment to stability and innovation. CEO Paolo A. emphasized Tether.io’s focus on transparency and liquidity amid these milestones

🔥 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a Wells notice to Immutable, an Ethereum-based gaming platform, signaling a potential enforcement action. This notice also went to Immutable's CEO, James Ferguson, and Digital Worlds Foundation, which was involved in the issuance of Immutable’s IMX token. Although the SEC did not fully clarify the alleged violations, Immutable believes the issues relate to its 2021 IMX token sales. Info via Decrypt https://shorturl.at/RDY5c
- James Ferguson, CEO of Immutable, and Digital Worlds Foundation, which helped issue Immutable’s IMX token, also received letters detailing the alleged violation
🚨 Devin Finzer, Co-founder and CEO of OpenSea mentioned via Twitter /X that they are building a new OpenSea from the ground up. What services could they offer that could be a game changer? Maybe agentic AI customer services?

🚨 Coinbase has partnered with Visa to enable real-time account funding for customers in the US and EU using eligible Visa debit cards. This integration with Visa Direct allows users to quickly deposit funds into their Coinbase accounts, enhancing flexibility for trading in the fast-paced crypto market. Customers can now transfer funds, purchase crypto directly, and cash out to bank accounts in real time. This feature aims to bridge traditional finance and blockchain technologies, providing a seamless experience for Coinbase users. Official info here https://shorturl.at/ZQFDn
👀 Chainlink has introduced the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), aiming to enhance blockchain application development by providing a unified platform for cross-chain operations. Announced at Chainlink's Smartcon event in Hong Kong, CRE is compared to significant programming environments like Cobol and Java for its potential impact on integrating traditional finance (TradFi) with Web3. Key features of CRE include:
- Modularity and Flexibility
- Rapid Development:
- Privacy for Institutional Transactions
- Chain-Agnostic Design
- Phased Rollout
❗ The HBAR Foundation Foundation Joins Chainlink Scale, With Chainlink Data Feeds and Chainlink CCIP Being Integrated on Hedera
🟣This integration allows Hedera developers to build secure, feature-rich DeFi and cross-chain applications using Chainlink’s high-quality data sources, secure Oracle nodes, and a decentralized network structure. Chainlink Data Feeds are already live on Hedera’s testnet, while CCIP will be rolled out in phases, providing tools for seamless token and message transfers across chains. This partnership aims to foster the growth of scalable, secure dApps and drive wider adoption of Hedera. Info here https://shorturl.at/vyhgR

🟠 Bitcoin Rights Bill - Pennsylvania. 💯Chainlink Integrates with Bitcoin 🟢 Kraken - Ethereum Layer-2 Network "Ink" ⛏️Microsoft to add BTC to Balance Sheet?
🟠 Bitcoin Rights Bill - House Bill 2481
💯 The Pennsylvania House passed a bipartisan bill, HB-2481, providing regulatory clarity for digital assets. Known as the "Bitcoin Rights Bill," it protects residents' rights to self-custody digital assets, use Bitcoin for payments, and establishes tax guidelines. It passed with strong support (176-26) and now moves to the Senate and Governor Josh Shapiro for approval.
🟠 Crafted by the Satoshi Action Fund, the bill is part of a broader effort to push state-level Bitcoin legislation, with similar laws passed in 20 states. Pennsylvania has 1.5 million crypto owners, amid ongoing federal uncertainty over crypto regulation.
🎙️ Check out today's Blockchain DXB episode we share our commentary on this. We also discuss how this could impact the upcoming US election
👀 Chainlink has integrated with Bitcoin for the first time through the layer-2 network Spiderchain, built by Botanix Labs. This integration brings Chainlink’s oracle services to Bitcoin, enabling smart contracts and cross-chain token transfers via its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Spiderchain aims to enhance Bitcoin’s functionality, making it compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) layers, allowing Ethereum smart contracts to be deployed on Bitcoin. This move aligns Bitcoin with advanced features found on other blockchains, such as Ethereum. via CoinDesk https://shorturl.at/5c6Io
💯 Kraken Digital Asset Exchange is launching "Ink," an Ethereum layer-2 network built on Optimism’s OP Stack, which will go live on testnet in November. Part of Optimism's "Superchain," Ink will offer wealth management tools and facilitate interoperability among nearly 30 layer-2 chains, helping to prevent fragmentation. The network will share revenue and governance with the Optimism Collective, aiming for a full mainnet launch in early 2025. Ink will support fast transactions for activities like decentralized lending and futures trading, following in the footsteps of Coinbase's Base network. More info on Ink is here https://inkonchain.com/
🛠️ Microsoft shareholders will vote on December 10 on a proposal to assess adding Bitcoin to the company's balance sheet, according to an October 24 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Nigeria has dropped money laundering charges against Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, who had been detained for over seven months. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) withdrew the charges, stating that Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen, was merely an employee and not in a key role at Binance. The decision, announced at a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja on October 23, may have been influenced by Gambaryan’s deteriorating health. His lawyer had repeatedly argued that Nigeria’s healthcare system couldn’t adequately treat his condition. Info via Bloomberg Law https://shorturl.at/tCpoT
