Wednesday Crypto News Recap

The cryptocurrency world was buzzing on Wednesday, with crypto news and developments spanning from market concerns to regulatory shifts.

Shiba Inu’s ecosystem remained in the spotlight, with revelations that a single whale now controls a staggering $2.5 billion in tokens, raising alarms about the centralization of power within the community. At the same time, Mint Club made a bold move by integrating Shiba Inu’s Shibarium blockchain into its platform, hoping to capitalize on the growing demand for scalable, low-cost transactions.

In a positive moment for the Shiba Inu community, The Shib, the official publication of the Shiba Inu crypto project, released its 51st edition, titled “Bone Army Rises.” The latest issue highlighted the ongoing movement within the Shiba Inu ecosystem where the Bone Army started executing strategic moves to bring BONE into major crypto exchange platforms.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin broke through the $97,000 price threshold, reaching a new all-time high late Wednesday, fueled by growing discussions surrounding the creation of a U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve.

But not all the news was positive. The crypto space continued to grapple with scams and frauds. Deepfake technology was increasingly being used by cybercriminals in sophisticated crypto scams, with fraudulent videos featuring public figures like Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump, luring unsuspecting investors.

At the same time, a romance scam targeting crypto investors was uncovered by the FBI, resulting in over $5 million in losses. Meanwhile, South Korean crypto platform Haru Invest declared bankruptcy following a $1 billion fraud scandal, underscoring the lack of regulation and oversight in some corners of the industry.

On the regulatory front, former President Donald Trump’s potential pick for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Teresa Goody-Guillen, sparked considerable attention. With her extensive background in financial regulations, her appointment could significantly influence the future of crypto oversight in the U.S.

Adding to the regulatory conversation, Coinbase made headlines with its decision to delist Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) from its platform. The move, which came amid growing scrutiny, has raised questions about whether it was a response to increasing regulatory pressure or part of a broader strategy to strengthen its market position.

As the crypto market continues to mature and face mounting challenges, Wednesday’s news highlighted both the excitement and the risks that investors and platforms alike are navigating.
