Bitwise‘s Hougan says Q3 charts point to ’crypto spring

Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan says Q3 may have been “one of the best quarters in cryptos history,” arguing a sharp rebound in crypto prices and growing onchain markets point to the start of “crypto spring.”  In its quarterly market review published Thursday, Bitwise reported a 46.4% quarterly gain in its large-cap crypto index, along with $6 billion in US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows that brought year-to-date net flows back into positive territory.  The growth extended beyond the price of cryptocurrencies. The value of tokenized equities rose 65.5% to nearly $3.2 billion, while open interest on decentralized perpetual futures hit a new record near $26 billion, with a growing share tied to stocks, commodities, foreign exchange and pre-IPO shares.  “Page after page after page, it‘s all the same: The most recent part of the chart is turning sharply upwards,” Hougan wrote. “That’s exactly what you want to see if youre looking for the start of a crypto spring.”  Crypto analysts have been debating whether the market slump is finally over. CryptoQuant said in September that technical and onchain indicators confirmed a new Bitcoin bull market, while Bitget chief analyst Ryan Lee told Cointelegraph that more indicators were needed to confirm a cycle bottom.

Ledger asks resellers to halt sales in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong

Ledger has requested sellers and distributors of its devices in six Southeast Asian countries and Hong Kong to suspend sales and remove its hardware wallets from shelves as it investigates reports of tampered devices.  In a post on X on Tuesday, Ledger said the request covers resellers in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Hong Kong.  “To be clear, as the investigation continues, the only confirmed incidents remain contained to Southeast Asia. We have not verified a drain linked to a device bought elsewhere,” said Ledger.  “The investigation is ongoing to determine who tampered with these devices and where in the distribution chain it happened,” it added.  The wider sales suspension request expands on Ledgers earlier request for reseller CryptoBilis to stop sales and shipments. The investigation became public on Oct. 9 after reports of stolen crypto linked to devices purchased through the reseller.  Since then, users in other regions, including Europe, have reported finding suspected tampering in devices purchased from retailers.  “We have no indication that Ledgers infrastructure, systems or services or direct sales channel have been compromised,” the company said.

How AI Killed This $5 Billion Picture Company

Getty Images, which has sold photos to newsrooms and advertisers for three decades, will file for bankruptcy and go private. The business will keep running, but public shareholders stand to lose almost everything.  Getty was valued at about $4.8 billion on its 2022 return to the stock market.

Wall Streets $110 Billion Bond Warning: What It Means for Stocks and Bitcoin

Wall Streets next selloff could start in the bond market. Veteran strategist Harley Bassman warns that if 20-year US Treasury yields hit 6%, trading rules could unleash pressure equivalent to $110 billion in bond sales.  Stocks and Bitcoin could feel the impact as investors shift toward safer government debt.  Sponsored  Sponsored  Why Is the 6% Treasury Yield So Dangerous?
