Even if you forgot what you ordered. And we'll start with the best news of the day: Bitcoin hit $30K+ for the first time in 10 months! Nothing better than waking up to the sweet, sweet smell of green crypto prices. Here's what else we're serving up today: - Numbers of the Day ð¢
- BTC Breaking Records in its Sleep ð¤
- Ordinals Pass 1 Million Inscriptions ðª Prices as of 9:30 AM ET Today's edition is brought to you by [Arch](, a secure way to borrow against alternative assets like cryptocurrencies. NUMBERS OF THE DAY ð¢ ~$750M - How much Ethereum users paid in fees over the last 6 months Thatâs more than double what Ethereumâs closest competitor TRON generated ($282M.) [Source: Token Terminal]( So what? Users pay these fees every time they complete a transaction of the blockchain. More fees = more people using the network. We like the m-word around here: mass adoption. And this numberâs a good way to measure which blockchains are actually being used, though Ethereumâs high cost per transaction could be a big part of why itâs so high. Itâs also not surprising. Ethereumâs blockchain is the hottest place to build dApps - always has been. And although Bitcoin might be the dominant cryptocurrency, it generated just ~$80M in fees in the last 6 months. $3.3M+ - The amount of funds stolen from SushiSwap (DEX) A hacker stole the money thanks to a bug in a smart contract. It tricked people into approving a bad contract that allowed the attacker to stealthily snatch their funds. The majority of funds were stolen from one user: Sifu. The infamous co-founder of QuadrigaCX had ~1,800 ETH (worth $3.3M) taken from him. Anyone who swapped on SushiSwap within the past four days may be in danger. Users should remove their approval on all the chains that the bad contract was deployed on (you can check if your addresses are safe [here](.) But thereâs good news! SushiSwapâs gotten most of the money back thanks to white hats (hackers that steal funds legally to either recover them or warn about vulnerabilities.) The heroes we need⦠$10M - How much CryptoGPT raised CryptoGPT is one of the 289,670,086 ChatGPT knock-offs that have sprung up like weeds. But this oneâs all the buzz right now⦠It wants to let people earn money by sharing their data with AI companies to train their models. Itâll use zero-knowledge (zk) tech to transfer that data - that means the sender & receiver of a personâs data know itâs legit without having to reveal more personal info about them. The Milk Manâs translation: âWe know ZKs, layer 2 solutions, AND AI are hot right now so hereâs this thing with all three, give us cash.â Itâs got investor interest though, clearly. Its token, GPT, spiked 11% on the news and now has a market cap of $250M. $1.4B - Total funds recovered by FTX so far The bankrupt exchange and its debtors released its first report Sunday. The biggest detail? The FTX team has so far recovered $1.4B of the ~8B in digital assets it owes creditors. Theyâre still trying to recover $1.7B more. Baby steps. Other highlights from the report include: - 35 FTX Group entities used Google Docs, Slack, Excel sheets, etc. to track its finances
- FTX stored private keys to its crypto wallets on AWS and in unencrypted plain text ð¤¦
- SBF joked at one point that âsometimes we find $50M of assets lying around that we lost track of; such is lifeâ
- FTX had no idea who all worked there when it filed for bankruptcy Thereâs such a thing as too much chill, Sam⦠[GET CRYPTO-BACKED LOANS WITH ARCH]( Trying to find a traditional lender that understands crypto can be more difficult than the final level of Super Mario Bros.

[GET STARTED ON ARCH NOW]( GRAPH OF THE DAY: BTC SUPPLY DORMANT FOR 2+ YEARSð¤ Another day, another record broken by Bitcoin⦠The latest record? 53% of Bitcoinâs circulating supply has been dormant for 2+ years. No movement. No selling. Nada. Itâs been locked down like the Krabby Patty secret formula. [tw profile: Pomp ðª] Pomp ðª @APompliano [tw] More than 1 out of every 2 bitcoin in circulation has not moved in the last 2 years. We hit a new all-time high of 53% today. Apr 10, 2023 863 Likes 126 Retweets 129 Replies The craziest part? 29% of the supply hasnât moved in the last 5 years. Thatâs over $150B of Bitcoin. And they say hibernating is only for bears⦠Whatâs causing this? 2 things: 1/ Itâs estimated that ~20% of the total BTC supply is either lost or held by a wallet that cannot be accessed. Pour one out for the guy with [two guesses left]( to access his BTC holdings worth >$200M. 2/ Holders see potential from the recent developments on the Bitcoin network (i.e. [Ordinals](, etc.) and are looking ahead to the widely anticipated [halving]( next year. Bitcoinâs halving occurs every 4 years and cuts the rate of new supply in half. This has historically led to substantial price increases, with all 3 previous halvings bringing new ATHs a year later. This is big because: Holders prevent selling pressure, and this shows people are holding tighter than ever. It also shows that investors are becoming more comfortable with price fluctuations and increasingly see the long-term potential of Bitcoin. Satoshi would be proud.
