Options on BlackRock's popular iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) began trading on the Nasdaq Tuesday, ushering in a new way to trade and speculate on the price of bitcoin. IBIT traded 73,000 options contracts in the first 60 mins of trading Tuesday, Nasdaq told CNBC, placing the fund in the top 20 of the most active nonindex options. The market for options contracts on major ETFs can be extremely active, and are widely used by more sophisticated traders. The launch of the bitcoin ETF options will likely also lead to new funds that incorporate those options, said Todd Sohn, ETF strategist at Strategas. And then we're going to get buffers, and then we're going to get whatever other trend-following-type strategy that folks think of.

The price of bitcoin hit an all-time high this weekend, a rally that started shortly after Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election. From March to November, the price has been mostly confined to a range of $50,000 to $70,000. Trump's election has been heralded by some as a positive sign for the prices of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Investors may also be responding to fears of inflation resurfacing under Trump, after months of price increases settling in at a more subdued pace. Robinhood, the app-based trading platform that allows for crypto trades, was also set to hit an all-time high.

Cryptocurrencies were among the hardest assets hit this morning as bitcoin slid 15% toward its worst day since June 2022. The turmoil has investors wondering, once again: what happened to the narrative that bitcoin is a store of value, and a hedge against uncertainty? For short- and even medium-term traders it may not be, since it trades so closely with risk assets. "That's, in a way, why [it] tends to have a more solid floor than other risk assets like equities … because of the diversity of their narrative." Before this weekend bitcoin was supported by a strong floor of about $55,000 and has struggled to break through its $70,000 ceiling.

GameStop and fellow meme stock AMC Entertainment are each up more than 160% over the past two days. "This isn't 2021 when the world was locked down and awash with liquidity," said Antoni Trenchev, cofounder of crypto exchange Nexo. To be sure, there's a world of cryptocurrencies beyond bitcoin that includes meme coins. Noelle Acheson, economist and author of the "Crypto is Macro Now" newsletter, added that the meme stock run was "more of a revving of engines than a full take-off" and that macro issues are still pressuring bitcoin. Sylvia Jablonski, CEO and chief investment officer at Defiance ETFs, added that although bitcoin was "lumped into the meme stock category" in 2021, the market is starting to show signs of being taken more seriously now.

Because in a quirk of geography and history, Hawaii is not technically covered by the NATO pact. Mengshin Lin/AP“People tend to assume Hawaii is part of the US and therefore it’s covered by NATO,” he says. The exception is spelled out in the Washington Treaty, the document that established NATO in 1949, a decade before Hawaii became a state. It also says any island territories must be in the North Atlantic, north of the Tropic of Cancer. Hawaii, Guam, Taiwan and North KoreaSome experts say times have changed in the decades since the Washington Treaty was signed – and argue today’s political situation in the Indo-Pacific might require a rethink.

The court decided the case was moot after the plaintiff at the center of the dispute, Deborah Laufer, dropped her lawsuit. We are not convinced, however, that Laufer abandoned her case in an effort to evade our review,” Barrett wrote. Jackson reiterated her concerns about when the court should and should not vacate lower-court rulings when a case becomes moot on appeal. Though the justices weighed that question during oral arguments, they spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out if they should resolve the issue at all. The defendant’s website, everybody agrees, is now in compliance with the ADA,” liberal Justice Elena Kagan said during oral arguments.

Shares of bitcoin miners - whose profitability improves as bitcoin climbs - including Riot Platforms (RIOT.O), Marathon Digital (MARA.O) and TeraWulf (WULF.O) rose between 1.7% and 4%. "Higher crypto prices should lead to a boost in transaction volume and transaction revenues for Coinbase as we enter 2024," said CFRA Research analyst Michael Elliott. However, Elliott cautioned the crypto exchange faces both legal challenges and new regulations that are likely to take time to play out and will continue to result in volatility for the stock. The ETF approval bets have helped counter latest concerns after Changpeng Zhao, the founder of the world's largest crypto exchange, stepped down and pleaded guilty to breaking U.S. anti-money laundering laws. Among other gainers were U.S. software developer and bitcoin investor Microstrategy (MSTR.O), up nearly 3.5%, and ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO.P), which added 2.1%.

The expansion of the Canadian government-owned Trans Mountain oil pipeline advanced to a new construction stage, in Acheson, Alberta, Canada December 3, 2019. REUTERS/Candace Elliott/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 24 (Reuters) - The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) has ordered the company building the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion (TMX) to appear at an oral hearing on Monday, as the regulator weighs whether to approve a variance request from the project. Trans Mountain had asked the regulator to make a decision on the variance request by Nov. 30 to "advance the timely completion" of the expansion project. In September, the CER approved a route deviation request from TMX for a section of pipeline near Kamloops, despite opposition from local Indigenous groups. The CER said no other parties had expressed concern about TMX's latest variance request.

WASHINGTON—The classified-documents scandals that have rocked the current occupant of the White House and his immediate predecessor have revealed the startling extent to which top officeholders of both major parties stretching back decades mishandled secret papers. Documents marked secret were found in papers donated by former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger, Edmund Muskie, Madeleine Albright, Dean Acheson and Cyrus Vance, along with about a dozen members of Congress, former ambassadors and leading scientists, according to notes released by National Archives and Records Administration, the agency that preserves important documents including of the Declaration of Independence.

The United States Supreme Court building is seen as in Washington, U.S., October 4, 2023. At issue before the Supreme Court was whether Laufer has such standing. President Joe Biden's administration agreed with the hotel in the case that Laufer does not have standing in the case to sue. "This is, like, dead, dead, dead - in all the ways that something can be dead," Kagan said. A federal judge in Maine threw out the lawsuit, finding Laufer did not have standing, but the Boston-based 1st U.S.

He went online and made a reservation for a room accessible for people with disabilities. Returning to the front desk, Stramondo learned the room was accessible — for people with hearing loss. Acheson Hotels and the business interests supporting it argue that Laufer's admission that she wasn't planning to visit the hotel should end the case. In the context of disabilities, testers can't sue for money, just to get facilities to change their practices. And the best one that I’ve seen is testers,” Stramondo said.

REUTERS/David 'Dee' Delgado/ Acquire Licensing RightsOct 3 (Reuters) - The global cryptocurrency market remains badly scarred following the tumultuous collapse of crypto exchange FTX and other big players last year, with crypto prices, volumes and venture capital investment well below their 2021 peaks.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Bitcoin's gains from a U.S. court ruling that bolsters future prospects for retail investor-friendly funds have rescued the original cryptocurrency from a dismal month, offering new optimism over its longer-term outlook. The win for Grayscale is likely to now factor into the SEC's future decisions for spot bitcoin ETFs filed by several major financial firms this year, including the world's largest asset manager BlackRock (BLK.N), investors said. Any advent of spot bitcoin ETFs could help the crypto industry tap a glut of previously untapped retail investor cash, in turn bolstering the price of bitcoin. Still, bitcoin's prospects remain tied to the performance of wider markets, some investors said.

Over 50 cryptocurrencies worth over $100 billion in total and making up about 10% of the overall market, are now viewed by the SEC watchdog as securities, according to CCData. Among major players, for example, solana , polygon and cardano have sunk between 23% and 32%. Bitcoin and ether weren't named in the SEC's lawsuit, nor were stablecoins such as tether and USC Coin. By contrast, bitcoin investors who have held their coins for more than five months appeared relatively calm and accounted for just 1.9% of deposit volume. Investment products tracking altcoins have seen positive - albeit small - net inflows this year, in contrast to bitcoin and ether, Coinshares data showed on Monday.

June 6 (Reuters) - It's a tense time for bitcoin investors. The capricious cryptocurrency's been uncommonly quiet over the past four weeks, bound in the range of $28,452 and $25,800. Bitcoin's volatility index is near 64, well below the 2023 peak of 116.5 touched in January, according to CryptoCompare. "Trading volatility, buying options in the absence of a price move, that's what people might do in this market." Market positioning indicates the maximum pain level for the June 2023 options expiry for bitcoin is at around $24,000, which could act as a support or resistance level, according to analysts at Bitfinex.

Bitcoin is track to post a 8% loss, which would be its worst month since November 2022. If it ends the day in the red, that will make May its worst month since December 2022. Bitcoin fell on Wednesday and was on track to post a down month as optimism around the debt ceiling rally fizzled. Crypto moved in line with the major stock averages, which were all lower as investors awaited the House vote on the tentative deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling and avoid a default on Wednesday. Crypto prices initially climbed over the weekend after House Republicans reached a tentative deal with the White House to address the debt ceiling.

Litecoin and XRP were each higher by about 5%, according to Coin Metrics, while the Sandbox token jumped 4%. On Wednesday Ripple, the global payments company behind XRP, announced its acquisition of Metaco, a Swiss crypto custody services firm. Still, realized 30-day volatility for both bitcoin and ether are off their record lows of the year, according to Glassnode.

Bitcoin and ether continued to hover around the flat line Wednesday at the $27,000 and $1,800 levels, respectively.
Experts have analyzed a pile of severed hands found in a 3,500-year-old temple in ancient Egypt. Their study suggests soldiers took the hands of slain enemies and presented them to their ruler. But archaeological records have suggested that severed hands were presented to kings after big battles. The severed hands could prevent the soldiers from fighting in the netherworld, for instance, per Bietak. Hands were likely removed soon after deathA colorised images shows the hands in the soil.
Market participants say that with all the uncertainty out of the way, ether may finally catch up with bitcoin. After Shanghai Investors can now withdraw staked ether from the network for the first time ever: This is one of the biggest attractions of the Shanghai upgrade. This Merge ultimately made more liquidity available to ether investors and stakers. "Dominance" measures how a crypto asset like bitcoin is performing relative to its peers in the crypto market. That correlation has declined, however, in part because market participants have favored bitcoin over ether ahead of the Shanghai upgrade.
The price of ether climbed on Thursday, after investors put uncertainty surrounding the long-awaited Shanghai upgrade behind them. Ether rose more than 4.5% to $1,989.02, according to Coin Metrics, while bitcoin gained more than 1%. After a two-year lock up period, Ethereum staking withdrawals were enabled by the Shanghai upgrade around 6:30 p.m. Investors were optimistic but cautious in the weeks leading up to Shanghai, also known as "Shapella." Noelle Acheson, an economist and author of the "Crypto is Macro Now" newsletter said she's skeptical the sudden move higher in ether isn't entirely Shanghai-driven.
Bitcoin's market dominance has been climbing in March and is now up to levels not seen since June. Investors use it to determine which parts of the crypto market are outperforming or underperforming relative to their peers. When bitcoin dominance climbs, it implies that bitcoin is doing well, but more specifically, it means its outperforming altcoins. Bitcoin dominance has risen steadily since March 8, the day after Silvergate Bank announced its voluntary liquidation. "That's reflecting a view that a lot of macro investors have, that we're either at or very near the bottom of this macro cycle."
