Tether, MicroStrategy bought billions, yet bitcoin keeps falling

With the price of bitcoin down 10% and global crypto markets losing half a trillion dollars since the start of the year, investors are questioning the mainstream narrative that institutional demand would drive up the price of bitcoin. This year, giant companies like Tether, MicroStrategy, and Blackrock have been gobbling up tens of thousands of bitcoin, yet their efforts have not stopped its declining price. Once upon a time, tether (USDT) supposedly pumped the price of bitcoin. In years past, according to researchers like John Griffin and Amin Shams, the minting of the world’s most popular, intermittently backed, stablecoin empowered market manipulators to induce demand for bitcoin. Despite the uncertainty of this theory, the idea of Tether’s power has remained popular.

U.S. politician makes super suspicious crypto trade

Lawmakers in the United States have an informational edge over the public — and their committee assignments mean that they, quite often, regulate the industries they invest in. There’s no shortage of suspicious stock trades being made — but the sighting of a suspicious crypto trade on Capitol Hill remains a much rarer and more interesting occurrence. While U.S. politicians still trade and invest in crypto on a much smaller scale than equities, there has been a notable uptick in activity since the start of the Trump presidency.
