1/ Bitcoin-based Stablecoin - USDO.

Get ready for a new Bitcoin-based stablecoin called USDO! USDO is designed to maintain a one-to-one peg to the dollar's value by using collateralized bitcoins from users. OpenDelta, the company behind USDO, is a pioneer in building DeFi for Bitcoin using Runes, a new method for creating tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain. OpenDelta believes USDO will be particularly attractive to Bitcoin users who are unfamiliar with other DeFi platforms.

Pantera Capital, a big name in digital asset management, is looking to raise a whopping $1 billion for their new crypto fund. This move comes after the crypto winter of 2022, signaling their strong belief in the future of digital assets. The new fund will provide investors with exposure to a variety of cryptocurrencies, allowing them to diversify their holdings and potentially capitalize on future growth in the crypto market.

3/ Bitcoin ETF Growth Stalls After Strong Debuts.

Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing a slowdown in growth after two successful launches, BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC. This is likely a result of the recent dip in Bitcoin's price since its peak in March. However, despite the stall, these ETFs are still viewed as a success story, bringing Bitcoin to a wider audience and accumulating over $54 billion in assets. Analysts believe Bitcoin ETFs are still in their early stages and are expected to see continued growth in the future.
