@BitcoinAltcoinCryptoNews
🥇 Bitcoin and a handful of altcoins were down around 7%-10% over the last 24 hours. Here are several factors:
1. Several macro data is being released this week and had investors spooked. Particularly, there is a declining probability of US interest rate cuts this month, and rumors of possible rate hike considerations
2. Over the last 24 hours, 115,804 traders were liquidated for a whopping $387.91m.
3. US Spot BTC ETFs saw an outflow of $161m yesterday
4. Hong Kong’s Bitcoin and Ether ETFs failed to meet expectations
5. RSI divergence indicators suggest a bearish trend, as it was in the "overbought" area during the US BTC ETFs launch
6. More BTC miners approach shutdown levels amid price drop below $57,000
It is important to note that during the 2015-2017 bull market, over 13 different 20% pullbacks occured. Price swings are quite normal and sometimes good for the markets.

⚡️ PORTAL seems to be cooking up some new things with their new launchpad
The debut token on the Portal Launchpad is $SOMO (https://twitter.com/playsomo) and those who stake $PORTAL will be able to receive a guaranteed allocation for the $SOMO sale which is happening on Thursday, 25th April at 11 am EST and I’m expecting this to skyrocket 🤑
Within the niche of Web3 gaming, we’ve seen many successful launches recently such as My Pet Hooligan’s $KARAT – $SOMO could be next. SOMO will quite literally be the Pokemon Go of Web3 and is also a playable 3D game
$SOMO seems to be the next big cook following after $PORTAL’s success, hitting a 3bn FDV and it was the biggest Binance Launchpool launch in history. I would really recommend picking up some $PORTAL and staking via their launchpad for the $SOMO sale➡️ https://launchpad.portalgaming.com
⏺Wallets will be able to purchase up to 1 ETH of $SOMO and to balance the demand against the available allocation – there will be a weighted raffle to give everyone a fair chance. Your chances in the raffle are dictated by your ticket size and how early within the 24 hours you purchase.
The earlier you purchase and the bigger your ticket, the more $SOMO you’re likely to receive. The current presale price terms seem very fair considering other rounds available like Pixelmon’s $MON and Revolving Games’ $RCADE.

💰 Do Kwon, Terraform Labs Should Get $5.3B Fine, SEC Tells Court
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has asked a New York court to impose $5.3 billion in fines on Terraform Labs and co-founder Do Kwon for their role in the $40 billion implosion of the Terra ecosystem in 2022. Terraform Labs and Kwon were found liable on civil fraud charges earlier this month, when a Manhattan jury concluded that they had misled investors about the stability of their so-called “algorithmic” native stablecoin, Terra USD (UST), and the use cases for the Terra blockchain.

🟠 Binance founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao sentenced to 4 months in prison
Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has been sentenced to four months in prison, according to a report from Bloomberg on April 30. Zhao’s final sentence is considerably less than the three-year prison sentence prosecutors were seeking — more than twice the recommended guideline for the relevant charges. A separate report from Fortune noted that Zhao will pay a $50 million personal fine, allowing him to keep most of his $43 billion in personal wealth. Zhao will be the wealthiest individual in the US prison system, according to the report.

The executive, whose payments app lets people remit fiat currency around the world on Bitcoin rails, said in a Friday interview that money printing will be required to bail out the U.S. bond market, which he claims is “in trouble for the first time in modern financial history.”According to Mallers, the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have two options: either let the banking system fail, or print their way out of the mess.
