crypto exchange FTX is prepared to spend billions of dollars to buy stakes in other companies as it looks to grow the suite of products it offers customers, according to the firm’s chief executive officer. Billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, who’s also the firm’s co-founder, said on Friday that recent rounds of fundraising by FTX and its US entity — totaling more than $2 billion — could be used to bankroll the moves. “FTX is a profitable company,” he said in an interview. “You can look at the amount that we’ve raised over the last year or two — it’s a few billion dollars. That gives maybe a sense of where we are in terms of cash that was explicitly viewed from a potential acquisition angle.”

Paul had a message for his 6 million Twitter followers: He was «all in» on a new cryptocurrency called Dink Doink. According to the project's creator, Dink Doink investors would receive shares of a cartoon character, entitling them to a portion of the proceeds if the googly-eyed figure ever appeared in a TV show or movie. Last June, Paul, a 27-year-old boxer and social-media influencer, praised Dink Doink on Twitter and in a public Telegram chat, before endorsing it again on his podcast, «Impaulsive.» But by mid-July, the price of Dink Doink had plummeted to a fraction of a cent, and Paul was facing an online backlash. In his endorsements, he had failed to mention some relevant information: He and the project's creator were friends, and they had come up with the idea for the cryptocurrency together. He had also received a large allocation of Dink Doink coins when it launched.

Bitcoin is regaining its dominance of the cryptocurrency universe. It now accounts for 44% of total crypto market value, the most since October, just before the latest bull market peaked, based on data from CoinGecko. Bitcoin’s renewed hegemony is a reflection of how the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin earlier this month has ravaged smaller tokens like Avalanche and Solana.

Terra debacle, Terraform Labs is all set to launch Terra 2.0, the so-called revival of the blockchain. The previous token has been renamed as Terra Classic (LUNA). Terra's ecosystem has imploded as terraUSD (UST) algorithmic stablecoin was dragged from $1 earlier this month. This had also jittered the sentiments for other stablecoins as well, with some still struggling to get re-pegged. UST is now renamed TerraUSD Class, with a price of merely three centas as its value nosedived more than 50 per cent in the last 24 hours. Terra Classic (LUNA) dropped close to another 20 per cent, with a sharp fall in volumes.

sleepy corner of the crypto-economy, the value of an obscure coin called Enzyme was tumbling downwards along with its peers earlier this month — but then something unusual happened on May 15. Enzyme, also known as MLN, rocketed from 30 cents to 47 cents in just minutes and daily trading volumes exploded from around $3 million to more than $100 million, according to CoinGecko. A few hours later, it crashed back down to 35 cents.

Cryptocurrencies are the exact opposite of a prudent investment: They’re volatile, have little practical use beyond speculation and crime, often get lost or stolen, and lack the real-world cash flows that underpin the values of stocks and bonds. It should thus go without saying that they have no place in a retirement savings plan. Unfortunately, it appears to require saying. Increasingly, financial institutions are seeking to get crypto into the employer-sponsored 401(k) plans where workers set aside pre-tax earnings for retirement — and which, as of December, contained about $11 trillion in assets. Last year, the plan provider ForUsAll announced a partnership with Coinbase that would allow employees to put as much as 5% of their accounts into cryptocurrencies via a so-called brokerage window.

crypto wallet MetaMask has inked a new strategic partnership with Asset Reality, an end-to-end solution for recovering, managing, and accessing seized crypto and complex assets. MetaMask is a ConsenSys product and among the leading self-custody wallets. MetaMask and Asset Reality will be helping victims of scams recover their digital assets where possible. The support will be available for all MetaMask users globally who have been victims of scams across MetaMask’s most active markets in the United States, the UK, the Philippines, India, Vietnam, Brazil, France, Germany and Nigeria.

US-based electronics retail company GameStop has launched a non-custodial crypto wallet, as a beta version, that will facilitate gamers to buy and sell their crypto-assets and NFTs without having to leave the game. A crypto wallet is where users can store all their virtual digital assets, including crypto tokens, coins and NFTs. Unlike MetaMask, GameStop is a non-custodial wallet, exclusively designed for gamers only. However, for crypto investors, especially newbies, it might be interesting to understand what are the key differences between custodial and non-custodial crypto wallets and which should one use.
