Ulbricht’s arrest in 2013 and subsequent sentencing in 2015 marked a significant U.S. prosecution, coming just a few years after the advent of popular cryptocurrency. The Silk Road platform was a hotspot for drug dealers and others engaging in unlawful activities.The presidential pardon, announced on Tuesday, fulfills a campaign promise made by the Republican president. In a statement on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump criticized those involved in Ulbricht’s conviction. He referred to them as “the scum” and linked them to what he described as the “modern day weaponization of government” against him.This pardon clears Ulbricht of his charges, making it both full and unconditional, according to President Trump’s statement.This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.

The news boosted confidence that Trump will deliver on his promises of crypto-friendly regulation, sparking gains across the sector. The President’s recently-launched memecoin, $TRUMP, also rose, although it traded well below its post-launch highs.Crypto markets had initially fallen after Trump’s inauguration, as the 47th President made no mention of crypto in a flurry of executive orders issued on his first day in office.Bitcoin rose 4.3% to $105,683.7 by 01:01 ET (06:01 GMT). The world’s biggest cryptocurrency hit a record high of over $109,000 just before Trump’s inauguration, but failed to hold those levels.The SEC- under the leadership of acting Chair Mark Uyeda, who was appointed by Trump, said on Tuesday it had created a task force to help draft a regulatory framework crypto.The task force will also help other government agencies draft crypto-related legislation, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Trump is also expected to issue executive orders that will reduce regulatory scrutiny of crypto, while bolstering the adoption of digital assets.The President had campaigned on a pro-crypto stance, promising to make America the “crypto capital” of the world. Trump’s leadership is expected to see the SEC drop its long-running lawsuits against several major crypto firms, including Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Ripple. Trump confirmed that he was behind the recently launched $TRUMP memecoin, but brushed off questions asking him about the token’s wild performance since Friday.Speaking at a White House event, Trump told a reporter that he was not sure about the memecoin’s performance. When asked about the billions of paper gains it had added to his personal wealth, Trump said “several billion? That’s peanuts for these guys,” although it was not immediately clear who he was referring to.While $TRUMP was initially received positively by traders, its subsequent volatility, and the less well received launch of $MELANIA sparked questions over the ethics of Trump using his influence to sway speculative assets in his favor. Broader crypto market volatility also increased sharply after the launch of the memecoin. $TRUMP traded up nearly 28% at $43.068 on Wednesday.Broader crypto prices advanced in lockstep with Bitcoin. World no.2 crypto Ether rose 3.1% to $3,323.10, while XRP rose 4.5%.Solana, Cardano, and Polygon added between 5% and 11%, while among memecoins, Dogecoin rose 9.1%. More

Responding to questions from a reporter about the memecoin, Trump confirmed that he had launched the memecoin, but claimed to not have too much knowledge over having personally benefited from its performance.“I don’t know about benefited, I don’t where it is, I don’t know much about it other than I launched it, I heard it was very successful,” Trump said in a White House event on Tuesday. When responding to a reporter telling him that he had made “several billion dollars” from the memecoin, Trump said “several billion? That’s peanuts for these guys,” although it was not immediately clear who he was referring to. $TRUMP launched to trader fanfare last week, coming just days before Trump’s inauguration on Monday. The token surged to a market capitalization of over $14 billion at its peak, netting Trump, who is a major holder, billions in paper gains.But the memcoin swung wildly in volatile trade, raising some questions of potential price manipulation, especially amid rumors that Trump had sold some of his holdings.  $TRUMP steadied at $41 after racing to a peak of nearly $80 after its launch. But the memecoin’s success, and the subsequent, less positively received launch of $MELANIA, spurred trader concerns over the ethical issue of Trump using his influence to sway speculative markets to his favor.Trump also made scant mention of crypto policy in his first two days in office, denting hopes that he would immediately dole out pro-crypto policies through presidential decrees. Bitcoin- which had surged to record highs over $109,000 ahead of Trump’s inauguration- tumbled from these peaks in volatile trade. Broader crypto markets also saw increased volatility after the launch of $TRUMP. More

Increased network activity and intense speculative interest in meme coins based on the Solana blockchain helped SOL reach its most recent peak of $295. But the momentum stalled, and SOL is currently trading close to its 50 EMA at $238. A breakdown below this level, which is currently at $240, could expose SOL to additional downside risks, but it also acts as immediate support. The Solana meme coin rally played a major role in its bullish run, drawing speculative inflows to projects that took advantage of Solana’s low fees and high throughput. Bearish pressure is being created, though, as the same liquidity that drove SOL higher is now leaving as the hype fades.Because of this change, Solana is now vulnerable, underscoring the dangers of relying too much on transient speculation. Recovering the $260 resistance and holding the $240 support level are necessary for SOL to get back on track. Restoring bullish momentum with a move above $260 might retest the $280-$295 range. On the downside, if SOL is unable to hold onto $240, it may fall toward $213, which is in line with the 100 EMA and a crucial support area from the consolidation in December.The slowdown in institutional inflows is one important contributing factor. Institutional investors made a substantial contribution to Bitcoin’s recent surge. But as the market euphoria wanes, this momentum seems to be fading. Additionally, the general enthusiasm for meme coins and altcoins that drove this rally’s early phases has diminished. Because of this, overall liquidity and inflow into Bitcoin have lagged, resulting in a period of consolidation for the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is currently trading just above its 50 EMA, which has served as a support level in this upward trend. Even so, the trading volume is down, indicating that traders are unsure of their next course of action. The fact that the RSI is still neutral suggests that there are neither overbought nor oversold conditions at this time, but it also suggests that there is not enough momentum to move higher.It will require fresh buying pressure for Bitcoin to exit this range, possibly brought on by a resurgence of institutional interest or a fresh market catalyst. Bitcoin runs the risk of retracing to retest lower support levels like $98,000, which corresponds to the 100 EMA if it is unable to clear $105,000.The general enthusiasm of the market has also been affected by the slowdown in the meme coin’s performance. Earlier in the rally, Bitcoin benefited indirectly from the influx of new players brought in by the meme coin’s explosive growth. Now that there is less speculative activity, Bitcoin is in a more difficult situation.Since Dogecoin has dropped 20% from its most recent peak, investors are beginning to wonder where the meme coin will go. There are still grounds for optimism regarding DOGE’s overall market position and possible recovery in the upcoming weeks, notwithstanding the decline. During its most recent rally, DOGE reached a high of $0.50 before dropping to a crucial support level close to $0.36. This retracement is consistent with the market as a whole cooling off after a period of increased volatility, especially in the meme coin space. With its current price hovering around $0.38, DOGE is exhibiting stabilization as it continues to hold above the rising trendline that has sustained its rise since October.Additionally DOGE’s relationship to Bitcoin and general market patterns implies that any recovery in the price of BTC may have a favorable effect on Dogecoin. If the general mood of the market improves, DOGE may gain from fresh inflows as long as institutional interest in cryptocurrencies remains stable.In the near future, Dogecoin’s price is probably going to settle into a new base around the $0.36-0.40 range. The next significant price movement may be indicated by a breakout or breakdown from the $0.40 resistance and $0.36 support levels, so traders should keep a careful eye on these levels.This article was originally published on U.Today More

Fartcoin, a digital currency created in late 2021, has seen an incredible rise from a nominal value to over a billion dollars. The hedge fund manager highlights that despite its lack of obvious utility beyond trading and speculation, Fartcoin has become the latest meme coin sensation, following in the footsteps of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency created over a decade ago with a similar aim to mock cryptocurrencies and enable speculative trading.Dogecoin, featuring a Shiba Inu dog logo, is currently valued at $55 billion. If it were a stock, it would rank around #180 in the S&P 500, surpassing the size of companies like Travelers (NYSE:TRV) and Johnson Controls (NYSE:JCI). Einhorn emphasizes that, like other collectibles, the value of these cryptocurrencies lies in the market’s perception, not in any intrinsic value or backing.Also in the spotlight are the recently launched ‘official’ Trump memecoin and Melania memecoin. As of last Friday, the Trump memecoin had a nominal value of $40 billion, even reaching $75 billion over the weekend to surpass Dogecoin. With 80% of the coins not yet issued, it implies that President Trump and the organization supporting the coin hold Trump memecoins worth $32 billion and counting. This amount exceeds President Trump’s earnings from his entire business career. The Melania memecoin, launched on Sunday, is currently valued at $4 billion.Einhorn states that the creation of new types of memecoins doesn’t seem to be a difficult task, and he has no issue with individuals taking a chance on cryptocurrencies or other forms of speculative investments. His personal preference, however, would be to own a Jackson Pollock painting rather than a Fartcoin. The future of the cryptocurrency market, now perhaps transitioning from the Fartcoin stage to the Trump and Melania memecoin stage, remains uncertain and potentially volatile. More
