This important level has held back the leading cryptocurrency for days after the GBTC ETF sell-off. But will we enjoy a bull market before the halving? Arthur Hayes predicts prices could nosedive to $30k this year if equities crumble. Then again, he would welcome such a discount to buy more. So let's cover that story in detail in our newsletter today! Along with Arthur Hayes’ prediction, we will cover: - SEC delays decision on BlackRock’s spot Ether ETF to September - Spanish Telecom company taps Helium network for wireless expansion - North Korean hackers stole less crypto in 2023 - Memecoin Dogwifhat soars 50% after exchange listing - Hong Kong charts 3-year roadmap for fintech innovation Time to dive into the forces rocking crypto today! Here we go...   Crypto Billionaire Predicts Bitcoin Crash Bitcoin could nosedive to $30,000 this year, warns celebrity crypto investor Arthur Hayes. The former BitMEX founder made the forecast in a blog post this week. He believes Bitcoin could tank as traditional markets face turmoil. "I think Bitcoin will find a local bottom between $30,000 and $35,000," predicted Hayes. But what reason did he give to support this prediction?

The carrier will integrate decentralized hotspots from Helium's crypto-powered network to stretch coverage in Mexico City and Oaxaca. Helium nodes validate wireless traffic while providing connectivity, enabling Telefónica to offload data during peak congestion. Users get smoother performance switching between cellular and WiFi. It may open doors to onboard more telecom companies in the future.

According to Chainalysis, DPRK hackers pulled off 20 major exploits last year, up from 15 in 2022. Yet they netted around $1 billion in crypto, down from nearly $1.7 billion. With DeFi protocols tightening security, North Korean groups focused more on phishing campaigns on centralized platforms. Social engineering and targeting employees emerged as preferred vectors. Meanwhile, hackers spent more time lingering within exploited networks, signals the need for increased monitoring and rapid incident response. Did regulatory scrutiny help?
