COINBASE VS THE SEC š„
BREAKING: US SEC is ābent on chokingā the crypto industry ā Coinbase
The battle between Coinbase and the SEC continues.
In a recent filing the US Court of Appeals, Coinbase stated āThe SEC is serious about the destruction of digital assetsā.
Coinbase argues that the SEC is unwilling to sit down and discuss regulation for the crypto industry.
Theyāve already made their mind up - and it doesnāt seem like anyone can change it.
Coinbaseās chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, had this to say:
āThe SECās says ā over and over again ā that it doesnāt matter if the industry can comply with the rules. The SEC is bent on choking the digital asset industry, and is refusing to provide the necessary rules the industry has requested in order to tighten the squeeze.ā
The SEC also claims that itās current rules are āworkable enoughā as it has sued many for violating them.
But those violations arenāt clear enough. (SEC claims many tokens are securityās)
Coinbaseās request is a simple one:
Make the rules and regulations clear for the digital asset industry.
Whyās that so hard? š¤

CAN BITCOIN GO THIS HIGH? š¤Ø
Bitcoin could hit as high as $1 million this cycle.
Thatās the latest prediction out from Jack Mallers.
Jack Mallers is the CEO of Strike, a Bitcoin investment and payments company.
In his latest interview, Jack explainās why Bitcoin is simply the best.
In todayās world people can buy stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, the list goes on...
So why should they buy Bitcoin? š¤·āāļø
Hereās how Jack answers that question.
āItās the best expression of fiat debasement. It is the antithesis of fiat currency. It has no central bank. It has no government. Its monetary policy is fixed. Its supply is capped. Itās everything that fiat isnāt. So if your problem is fiat debasement, then itās best expressed through Bitcoin.ā
Bitcoin is everything that fiat isnāt.
Bitcoin is a bet against the existing system.
Jack then explains that if your problem is fiat debasement, then Bitcoin is your only option:
āTraditionally youād try and find that through something, gold is kind of closeā¦ Bitcoin is the only instrument in your portfolio that we humans created to solve this exact problem. Everyone has their own interpretation of the white paperā¦ Satoshi said ācentral bankers, I canāt trust themā. And so this is the best expression of the problem at handā
Basically it all comes down to:
Number go up
Bitcoin outperforms everything. And this makes it extremely appealing to Wall Street. (as weāve seen with the ETF demand)
āWhat that means is that it goes up the mostā¦ Why does Wall Street want it? I have been more performant than Ken Griffin for 10 years. Thatās why they want it. You either have to work 10 times as hard to outperform a Bitcoin holder or you just own Bitcoin.ā
Ken Griffin is the CEO and founder of Citadel - the most successful hedge fund of all time with annualised returns of 19.6% since 1990.
Bitcoin has 110% annualised returns since 2012.
Thatās a big differenceā¦
But some have speculated that the age of HUGE returns is over for Bitcoin.
Itās simply gotten too big.
But Jack doesnāt subscribe to that way of thinking:
āI think weāre still so early in the Bitcoin storyā¦ I think Bitcoin hits $250,000 to $1 million in this cycle. So now I'm speaking in the next 10 to 18 months. Thatās a lot of percent.ā
Now, weāre not as confident as Jack is with Bitcoin hitting $1 million this cycle.
But $250,000?
That sounds reasonable. š
ETHEREUM EXCHANGE BALANCES āļø
Today weāll be taking a look at the amount of Ethereum available for sale on exchanges.
This metric is super simple but extremely useful.
As always, hereās how to interpret the chart:
Decreasing exchange balances: Bullish indicator as it signals a shift towards long-term holding š
Increasing exchange balances: Bearish indicator as coins being transferred to exchanges are more likely to be sold š»
Currently there is only 12,658,362 ETH available for sale on exchanges.
Thatās ~10.57% of the entire circulating supply. And it effectively puts this metric at an all time low.
(itās been hitting new all-time lows every week forever)
In fact, as a percentage thereās even less Ethereum on exchanges than Bitcoin.
Thatās insane, considering Bitcoinās exchange balances are already exceptionally low.
And like Bitcoin, there just isnāt that much ETH available for sale.
It just goes to show how good Ethereumās supply dynamics are right now.š
CRACKING CRYPTO š„
Lawmakers urge Biden administration to reconsider veto for SAB 121 repeal. The lawmakers called on President Biden to either sign the resolution into law or collaborate with the SEC to revoke the guidance.
El Salvador's pro-Bitcoin President Nayib Bukele sworn in for second term. On June 1, El Salvador's pro-Bitcoin President Nayib Bukele was sworn in for another five-year term at the National Palace in San Salvador.
Bitcoin just had its best May since 2019 despite 'predatory' 3% BTC price dip. Bitcoin bulls fail to flip key $69,000 resistance to support into the monthly close amid predatory BTC price moves.
US SEC is ābent on chokingā the crypto industry. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase believes that giving the SEC another opportunity to explain itself is āboth pointless and exquisitely undeserved.ā
