It was another sideways 24 hours for Bitcoin. BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF saw only its second day of net outflows since it launched on Jan. 10, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele talked about his disappointment at the level of BTC adoption in El Salvador, and a solo Bitcoin miner bagged an almost $200,000 block reward with just 0.012% of the hashrate. Elsewhere, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has been charged and released in France, Elon Musk and Tesla have succeeded in having a Dogecoin manipulation lawsuit thrown out, and millions of dollars have been lost to a fake memecoin posted by the hacked account of superstar footballer Kylian Mbappé. It’s a busy Friday, so grab yourself a coffee, and let’s get into it!

As always, it’s been another busy 24 hours in crypto. Bitcoin may have slipped back below $60,000 as it wrestles with the range it appears to be stuck in, but some interesting data suggests that long-term Bitcoin holders are on the rise. Staying on Bitcoin: miners have been suffering from slashed block rewards since April’s halving, but they may be able to cash in on AI to help boost their profits. Elsewhere, Ethereum whales may be indicating that the bottom is in as they go on a four-day buying spree, a new memecoin clogs up TON, causing a network outage, and did Binance seize Palestinian crypto funds?
