The president died, and then didn’t die

Before he dropped out of the presidential race, crypto enthusiasts were convinced that Joe Biden had died. Of course, a wave of meme coins flooded the blockchain, but they were outdone by a token that predicted the exact date of his death and reached a market capitalization of $660,000. All these tokens plummeted in value once the rumors were debunked. As of this writing, Biden is still alive.

Bitcoin ETF

In January, an official tweet from the SEC's account claimed that all 13 Bitcoin ETFs had been approved. However, the SEC account had been hacked, and none of them have been approved yet.
