Ethereum has talent
Cryptocurrency conferences are typically serious events filled with lengthy discussions about the technical details of blockchain and the inevitable adoption. However, at Token 2049: Singapore, Vitalik Buterin decided to spice things up with a little crypto song, reminiscent of his rap from 2019.
“It’s mathematics. No more double spending, everything is encrypted,” he sang on stage. “A new form of wealth is beginning.”

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.
