#broccoli The community members supporting a Broccoli memecoin on BNB Chain are outraged, claiming that their project was unjustly denied victory in the network's liquidity support program.
The BNB Chain Meme Liquidity Support Program, which started on February 18, offers USD 200,000 in permanent liquidity to the best-performing memecoins on the chain. But the controversy erupted on the second day of the competition, February 19, when two memecoins - both inspired by the dog of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Broccoli - faced off.
In the end, the Broccoli token, which ended in the address "714," was declared the winner over the one ending in "F2B." However, supporters of the F2B token say the outcome doesn't add up.
š£ Bitcoin is the most important cryptocurrency (virtual currency) today. Increasingly accepted worldwide, it can be used to purchase products and services.
š„ Each bitcoin is like a file stored in a "digital wallet," whether on a mobile phone, computer, or tablet. People and businesses can transfer bitcoins or a portion of a bitcoin between different digital wallets.
š Each of these transactions is recorded in a public list called the blockchain. This way, the history of a bitcoin can be known, in order to prevent theft, counterfeit copies, or undo transactions.
ā There are three main ways to obtain a bitcoin. They can be purchased using real money (dollars, for example); goods and services can be sold and paid for in bitcoin; and they can be "mined" (created as it is said in the cryptocurrency market jargon) on a computer.

#BinancePizza Fifteen years ago, a programmer and bitcoin user named Laszlo Hanyecz secured his food and his place in the folklore of cryptocurrencies. He wanted to see if there was a way to pay for two pizzas with bitcoin, so on May 22, 2010, he visited a bitcoin forum and offered 10,000 BTC to anyone who would buy him the pizzas and send them to his address. His request was granted. The pizzas were ordered, and the bitcoin transaction was completed. This marked the first bitcoin transaction in history and is now celebrated worldwide as Bitcoin Pizza Day. According to today's prices, Laszlo paid over 1 billion dollars for two pizzas. In celebration of his immense love for pizza and bitcoin, we launched the largest BTC reward pool* ever on a cryptocurrency exchange: 5 million dollars in BTC!
Inflation data in the U.S.: Will April confirm that the path to 2% is secured?
This Tuesday, May 13, the market will be fully focused on the release of the inflation data for April in the United States, a figure that could finalize the tone of monetary policy for the coming months. The general index is expected to remain at 2.4% year-on-year, the same level as in March, which would reinforce the idea that disinflation is progressing steadily, although with some short-term fluctuations. The publication arrives just a few days after the Federal Reserve decided to keep rates unchanged at 4.5%, acknowledging both the progress in inflation and the need not to rush into cuts. But it also made it clear that the restrictive cycle is close to its end and that, if the next data confirms the trend, there could be movements before the third quarter.
#CryptoRegulation PART 2. Chile Thus, the Bitcoin law would state that the Central Bank of Chile is responsible for regulating them. Additionally, the idea is to strengthen the Financial Analysis Unit in the fight against money laundering. It also requires knowledge from specialists selling the product, so they will have to undergo mandatory training.
Panama Currently, the Commission on Trade and Economic Affairs is discussing two options: to combine both laws or to choose one of them to bring to debate in the National Assembly.
Venezuela The Executive approved a law that reforms the Law on Taxes on Large Financial Transactions to include cryptocurrencies. This way, a tax of 2% to 20% will be levied on transactions with crypto assets.
El Salvador In September 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to accept bitcoin as an official currency. Thus, the legislation allows merchants and consumers to acquire goods and services using bitcoin as legal tender.
Argentina In Argentina, there is a bill presented by the deputies, members of the Board of Directors of the Circle of Legislators. There is also a draft signed by the deputy from Juntos por el Cambio Ignacio Torres, which has the backing of several exchanges in the country.
Uruguay Only in 2021 did the Central Bank of Uruguay (BCU) publish a statement where it assured that during that year it had a working group dedicated to studying the topic. Later, through its financial innovation program Nova BCU, they published a document that lays the groundwork for possible regulation.
Brazil In 2022, Project No. 3825 was introduced by Senator IrajĆ” Abreu of the Social Democratic Party. This proposal unifies all previous projects and aims to provide transparency to operations and prevent tax evasion and money laundering.
Bolivia Since 2014, the BCB has reiterated multiple times the prohibition of crypto assets, as in a statement from 2017 or in the Board Resolution 144/20 of 2020, which were reaffirmed in 2022.
Mexico The situation in Mexico is a gray area regarding the regulatory framework since there is no law that directly regulates cryptocurrencies.
Paraguay A project includes cryptocurrency mining and defines it as an innovative digital industry that could receive state incentives. Nevertheless, Facetti emphasized that crypto assets will not be a legal tender. The proposal still needs to pass through the Chamber of Deputies and the Executive Power.
Peru A legislator clarified that in his project, cryptocurrencies would not be considered legal tender as in El Salvador.
Ecuador Like other countries, it was clarified that regulation does not imply that bitcoin becomes legal tender. However, they do admit that the state cannot remain outside this activity.
Colombia Starting April 1st, transactions with Bitcoin exceeding US$38,660,025,498,150 must be reported to the UIAF. The penalties for non-compliance with the regulations could be equivalent to between 100 and 400 minimum wages.
$BTC The cryptocurrency market maintains its upward momentum this Wednesday. Bitcoin (BTC) is advancing moderately and is around $103,900, according to Binance, while Ethereum (ETH) rises 2.3% to $2,600 and has increased more than 40% in the last 7 days.
š£ The rest of the ecosystem is also showing widespread gains. The top 20 tokens are up to 9.3%, led by PI, followed by Dogecoin and Avalanche (3.3%).
š Despite the good moment, some analysts warn that this recovery could have a nearby ceiling. "The strengthening of the dollar, driven by recent news about tariffs, has acted as a natural brake on digital assets," explained Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro.
š„ According to the specialist, this is exacerbated by Bitcoin's proximity to its all-time highs, which fuels profit-taking after a rally of more than a month.
š£ Ethereum is an open-source platform that serves to execute smart contracts. It is programmable, which means that developers can use it in the creation of decentralized applications.

#CryptoRoundTableRemarks The U.S. Department of the Treasury is holding a series of confidential discussions this week with cryptocurrency executives and policymakers, according to a May 12 report by Crypto in America.
The initiative is a focused effort by the department to develop more effective regulations for digital assets, including operational vulnerabilities in decentralized finance and challenges faced by crypto entities within the U.S. financial system. The Treasury has brought together senior officials from multiple branches, including the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and the Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection, to meet directly with select participants from leading blockchain companies and cryptocurrency advocacy groups. These discussions are being held under the Chatham House Rule, which allows for sharing and referencing ideas without naming the contributors.
#CryptoCPIWatch Inflation is a multifaceted economic phenomenon that affects the policies of the Federal Reserve of the U.S. and those responsible for monetary policy. The decisions of the Federal Reserve are important because they impact credit rates, which in turn have a wide effect on the economy. For this reason, financial markets closely follow the actions of the Federal Reserve. It is often said that Bitcoin, being a limited asset, is immune to inflation. This idea is based on the notion that, since there is a maximum of 21 million bitcoins that can exist, its scarcity could protect its value against the loss of purchasing power that characterizes inflation.
However, this is a very simplified view. Inflation is a complex process influenced by many economic factors, not just by the money supply. Moreover, the price of Bitcoin depends not only on its scarcity but also on market demand, regulation, technological adoption, and investor confidence. Therefore, while Bitcoin's scarcity is an interesting attribute, it does not automatically guarantee its resistance to inflation. It is crucial to understand inflation in its entirety to make claims about the relationship between Bitcoin's scarcity and its behavior in relation to it.
$BTC Optimism returns to dominate the crypto market, driven by the tariff agreement between the two largest economic powers in the world and the expectation of favorable inflation data in the US. Bitcoin reached a nearly four-month high surpassing $105,000 but then cut gains and fell nearly 2% to $102,000, according to Binance, while Ethereum is at $2,400.
The altcoins that managed to trade with increases of up to 40% are slowing down, but the rise of Ripple by more than 7% and Hedera (3.8%) stands out. Meanwhile, Hedera, Chainlink (-2.2%), and Hyperliquid (-1.8%) fall by up to 2.6%.
This renewed appetite for risk in the crypto universe is explained, to a large extent, by the relief in trade tensions between the US and China. Both nations agreed to a temporary reduction of 115% in their reciprocal tariffs for 90 days: The United States will lower its tariffs from 145% to 30%, and China will reduce its tariffs from 125% to 10%, as confirmed in a joint statement following negotiations held in Switzerland.
#TradeWarEases Temporary respite amid the tariff war between the United States and China. The two powers reached an agreement on May 12, according to which Washington will reduce tariffs on the Asian giant from 145% to 30%. For its part, Beijing will reduce its tariffs on the US from 125% to 10%. This was announced by US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at a press conference in Geneva. The trade truce will be extended for 90 days, during which time officials from both countries will continue talks to resolve the economic disputes, the two governments announced.
āThe consensus of both delegations this weekend is that neither side wants a disassociation (...) And what happened with these very high tariffs was an embargo, the equivalent of an embargo. And neither side wants that. We do want trade,ā Bessent said.
The announcement comes after the delegations from both countries, escorted through the city and guarded by numerous Swiss police officers, met for at least 12 hours between Saturday and Sunday in a sun-drenched 17th-century villa that serves as the official residence of the Swiss ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva.
$BTC In the last week, the price of bitcoin (BTC) reached the mark of U$S100,000, which generated an optimistic sentiment in the market. What will happen to bitcoin from now on?
The forecasts are encouraging for most. As reported in CriptoNoticias, in early May, bitcoin broke the all-time high of realized capitalization. This is a metric that provides insight into the market sentiment.
The CryptoQuant analyst Carmelo AlemƔn said that at this moment "there is great confidence in the asset." He added that "both large institutional capital and small investors have returned, and all market participants are speculating on a significant increase in the price of bitcoin in a very short period."
Analyzing the current market landscape, AlemƔn claims that it is very likely that an explosive price increase for BTC will occur soon. And the behavior of gold confirms this theory. So, the signals seem to indicate that Satoshi Nakamoto's cryptocurrency is resuming its upward trend.
