After spending a few minutes above $50,000 on Tuesday, Bitcoin smashed through this all-important price barrier on Wednesday. Veteran trader Peter Brandt says BTC is currently undergoing its third parabolic advance in 10 years, describing this as "extremely rare." Blockstream CSO Samson Mow has declared that "$50,000 Bitcoin is the new normal." Here's the latest.

JPMorgan has poured cold water over the narrative that institutional investors are fueling Bitcoin's rally.

The auction is the latest sign that the market is getting overheated, with $100 million in NFTs sold over the past 30 days. Read more.

Coinbase Opens ETH 2.0 Waitlist 🙌

Coinbase has opened its waitlist for ETH 2.0 staking. The exchange is allowing users who are interested in locking up some of their Ether to sign up, meaning they will be "first in line" for staking rewards. It could end up proving popular, especially among crypto investors who don't have the 32 ETH required to launch their own validator node. Read more here.
