Tellor (TRB) has defied the bearish sentiments that have plagued the CRYPTOCURRENCY market in recent weeks, experiencing a remarkable surge of 270% over the past week, pushing its value past the $50 mark. This remarkable rise has left many in the crypto community wondering about the driving forces behind TRB’s meteoric ascent and what the future holds for this Decentralized Oracle Protocol .

These whales collectively control 11% of the total supply and have reported profits exceeding $7 million. The possibility of these whales liquidating their holdings looms large, potentially exerting downward pressure on TRB’s value. While whale movements often indicate future market trends, caution is advised. Investors should “Do Your Research” (DYOR) and consider the inherent vola...

Is Washington ready to tackle 'Bitcom' and 'Ponzi screams'?

On Wednesday, a group of 40 crypto entrepreneurs headed to Washington DC to convince lawmakers it was time to provide regulatory clarity for the industry — but despite the campaign’s efforts, the US government has other fish to fry… and some members still appear woefully ignorant about cryptocurrency. Coinbase’s ‘Stand with Crypto’ campaign convened in Washington in hopes that the US passes a new set of rules for digital assets. These have already been approved by the House Financial Services Committee and the House Committee on Agriculture, but must now be pushed through Congress. Coinbase chief exec Brian Armstrong posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, “It’s time for America to join the rest of the G20 and get some clear rules on the books.” He and other execs will meet with Democrats and Republicans in Congress to get legislation moving.
