▼ + stars: | 2024-11-27 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Bitcoin on Wednesday climbed back above $95,000, recovering slightly from a pullback this week that knocked it from record levels. The broader crypto market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 index, gained 5%. Although bitcoin is widely viewed as a store of value and a digital alternative to gold, the cryptocurrency often trades in tandem with the stock market. "The bitcoin bull market has legs," Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital, said in a report Wednesday. Bitcoin is up 124% for the year and is still widely expected to reach the $100,000 milestone before the year is over.

☆ Crypto market sheds $180 billion in a day as bitcoin slides further from $100,000 milestone
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The price of Bitcoin price retreated further from the psychologically important $100,000 milestone, as investors booked profits from the token's post-U.S. election gains. The world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was trading down 6.2% at a price of $92,446.38 as of 5:55 a.m. Ether, the second-biggest coin, fell 4.2% to $3,346.86 while Solana's sol token dropped 8.9% to trade at a price of $231.88. The entire crypto market capitalization — calculated by multiplying total coins in circulation by price — dropped $182 billion to $3.35 trillion. However, optimism around Trump's pro-crypto policy platform in the leadup to the vote has reignited buzz for digital currencies.

☆ Jim Cramer defends cryptocurrency support: 'National debt worries are never going to go away'
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday defended his stance on cryptocurrency, saying he endorses owning some as a hedge against government spending and a ballooning deficit, as "national debt worries are never going to go away." Some on Wall Street believe that due to cryptocurrency's fixed supply, it will be a solid asset in the event that continued excessive federal spending — and a widening U.S. national debt — devalues the dollar. However, he acknowledged that cryptocurrency is also fairly new and doesn't yet have a proven track record. Cramer expressed skepticism that the government will be able to solve the debt issue any time soon. "I think bitcoin, ethereum and maybe even some other cryptocurrencies deserve a spot in your portfolio, too," Cramer said.

And while these larger social media platforms still dwarf Bluesky, the startup now has more than 22 million users and is not showing any signs of slowing down. Bluesky had experienced a previous surge in July 2023 after X, then still named Twitter, temporarily limited the number of posts users could read per day. Just days before Musk officially took over Twitter, the Bluesky team publicly unveiled more details about their project and rolled out a waitlist for the Bluesky app. Despite Bluesky starting as a side project within Twitter, the startup has lost its last connection to the original micro-blogging app. Bluesky is looking for ways to support the users "who are actually the ones making the network awesome and fun," Wang said.

AdvertisementJose Palafox used a DST 1031 exchange to defer taxes on his Portland rental sale. In the summer of 2024, Jose Palafox took advantage of a little-known tax strategy called a DST 1031 exchange, which allows investors to avoid capital gains tax on the sale of a rental property. Palafox was ready to sell his Portland rental, which had become more of a headache than a cash cow. Executing a DST 1031 exchange, in which you sell a property and reinvest the proceeds into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), not only allowed him to defer capital gains tax — it also released him from landlord responsibilities. To do a DST 1031 exchange, you have to be what's called an accredited investor.

CNN —It’s been two weeks since Hawaii woman Hannah Kobayashi went missing after she did not board a connecting flight to New York City during a layover at Los Angeles International Airport on November 8.

The British financial services watchdog on Tuesday set out a plan to implement a wide-reaching regulatory regime for the cryptocurrency industry by 2026. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which oversees banking and investment products in the U.K., unveiled a timeline detailing key dates and milestones it's working toward on its regulatory roadmap for crypto. In the fourth quarter, the regulator will launch discussion papers on the rules governing the issuance and custody of stablecoins, as well as admission and disclosure processes and how to tackle market abuse. In the first half of 2025, the FCA said it plans to launch papers on trading platforms, intermediation, lending, prudential crypto exposure and so-called staking rewards offered by firms on users' token holdings.

CNN —The morning after Donald Trump was reelected president, Justices Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan began jousting more than usual. More than other justices on their respective sides, conservative Alito and liberal Kagan are sharp-tongued strategic questioners. As usual, Alito and Kagan began referring to each other’s questions but with barely a glance toward the other at their elbow. Skeptical of the litigants’ case, Alito asked their lawyer Deepak Gupta why Huang would have put out financial information that could be quickly exposed as wrong. Then Alito said, “Well, I don’t want to derail … Justice Kagan had a number of hypotheticals, but I don’t want to interrupt that.”Kagan seemed miffed, but only slightly.

CBOE Global Markets is also set to list its first cash-settled bitcoin ETF options on Dec. 2.

Bitcoin hit a new record high last week, with prices climbing above $99,000 for the first time. CNBC asked analysts for their take on why bitcoin has so far failed to breach the widely-watched $100,000 mark. "There's a ton of leverage in the system right now," Novogratz, a longtime crypto investor, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Friday. Novogratz added that he's advocating investors buy "straight bitcoin" rather than bitcoin-exposed plays, such as MicroStrategy which owns a huge, multi-billion-dollar pile of bitcoin in its corporate treasury reserves. Deutsche Bank's Laboure said she thinks the idea of a U.S. national bitcoin is still far off, practically speaking.

Conventional wisdom holds that Musk — the world’s richest man and key Donald Trump ally — and his friends are just joking. But Musk’s posts are adding to the anxiety that MSNBC staffers are feeling about the reelection of Donald Trump and the recently announced spinoff of Comcast’s cable channels. I learned that more than one benevolent billionaire with liberal bonafides has already reached out to acquaintances at MSNBC to express interest in buying the cable channel. Instead, he is moving MSNBC and a half dozen other cable channels into “SpinCo,” a pure-play cable programming company. I have sensed quite a bit of enthusiasm at MSNBC about “SpinCo,” actually, because the new structure should allow for more investment into MSNBC, CNBC and the other brands.
