🏦 Coinbase unfreezes Debt Box assets amid SEC controversy
Coinbase has lifted the freeze on Debt Box’s assets after discovering discrepancies in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) representation of its case against the firm. According to Grewal, Coinbase challenged the SEC’s order because the regulator “sat silently” instead of “immediately pulling its order after admitting that it deceived the Court.” The exchange attempts to get an explanation from the authorities proved futile as it was met with “more silence.”.

💰 Why This Year’s Bitcoin Halving Is “Actually Different”: Grayscale
Bitcoin ETFs, Ordinals, and a developer renaissance mean this year’s halving cycle may not play out like the last, the crypto fund claims. The upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) halving is likely a bullish development, but a slew of outside factors mean it likely won’t play out the same as in previous years, according to Grayscale. Last month, the company successfully converted its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into the world’s largest Bitcoin ETF. The introduction of such ETFs, according to Grayscale, may impact Bitcoin’s price as if it were a second halving within a single year.

💰 Lower Bitcoin miner revenue after halving will be bolstered by Ordinals fees: Grayscale
About two months from now, in mid-April 2024, Bitcoin will undergo a massive change, halving its reward for miners that successfully complete a block. Known as "halving" or "the halvening," the event is often seen as bullish for Bitcoin, as several halvings in the past have been followed by sustained increases in the price of Bitcoin. This suggests that while scarcity does sometimes influence price, other factors also play a role," the analysts wrote, citing broader macroeconomic conditions as one factor.
