Jeff Grubb Says Next State of Play Likely To Announce A “Less Exciting” Remaster

It's seemingly confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster, despite the fact it really doesn't need one. Sony is focusing on making the games look a bit cleaner and visually striking instead of rebooting or porting franchises that people actually care about. Although it hasn't been officially confirmed that a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster is coming, it's quite likely since the rumor has been floating around since 2022. People now believe this is happening because the supposed remastered version has been rated by the ESRB, listening to PC and PlayStation 5 as the platforms. In the latest Game […]

The Final Joker 2 Trailer Is Here

Apple’s A18 Pro Is 13 Percent Faster Than A17 Pro In GFXBench’s Aztec Ruins Benchmark; New Milestone Is Achieved At A Worse ‘Performance Per...

The A18 Pro powering the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max had already cemented its position as Apple’s fastest smartphone silicon to date by being 18 percent faster than last year’s A17 Pro in Geekbench 6’s Metal benchmark while also trading blows with the M1 in the single-core and multi-core department. In the latest GFXBench Aztec Ruins test, the newest SoC once again reaches a new performance plateau, but a closer look at the comparison reveals that it had to operate at a higher power draw to achieve this difference, resulting in a worse ‘performance per watt’ ratio. In the […]

As Bitcoin Creates New All-Time Highs in at Least 14 Countries, Uber-Bullish Analysts Eye Gold as the Ultimate Target To Vanquish

Bitcoin (BTC) is on a warpath ahead of its halving event in April, buffeted by the benevolent tailwinds emanating from the relentless inflows into the cryptocurrency's spot ETFs, which have now attracted $5.63 billion in cumulative net inflows. Yet, some uber-bullish analysts are setting their sights much higher and betting on a David vs. Goliath fight between Bitcoin and Gold. Bitcoin's near-term bullish thesis is quite solid. At the current pace of inflows, spot Bitcoin ETFs are soaking up around 12.5x more Bitcoin each day than can be produced via mining. Once the halving event arrives, the reward for mining […]

JP Morgan Analysts Want You to Short Coinbase and, by Extension, Bitcoin, but Do They Really?

Wall Street is quite notorious for not always walking the talk: its analysts might publicly recommend a particular course of action, but that does not necessarily mean that the banks' internal trading teams follow that "fount of wisdom." A recent investment note from JP Morgan has again raised the proverbial hackles of Bitcoin bulls, especially as the note hammers on a thesis that is superficially accurate but lacks proper context. Short Coinbase $COIN, says JPMorgan, as Bitcoin ETF volumes disappoint: "Highlighting our more bearish view on COIN, with 2024 expected to be more challenging with the key catalyst of a […]

This Bitcoin Strategy Has Performed Every Time in the Past 9 Years

Bitcoin's "sell the news" type of move is officially over, with the world's pre-eminent cryptocurrency managing to recoup all of the losses incurred in the aftermath of the launch of some of the first spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US. As animal spirits return, investors are now turning their attention toward upcoming bullish catalysts, including an event that does not have much relevance for the Western world but one that has exercised substantial influence over Bitcoin in the past nine years. Matrixport's head of research and the founder of 10x Research, Markus Thielen, has identified a unique phenomenon over the […]

Blame the Weak Hands and Not the Increasing Financialization of Bitcoin for the Ongoing Rout

With Bitcoin firmly perched on a seemingly endless downward spiral, some in the wider crypto community have been quick to blame the increasing financialization of Bitcoin for this ongoing rout, courtesy of the just-launched spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US. In fact, Bitcoin seems to have entered a new bear market in less than two weeks after hitting a fresh multi-year high. However, in direct opposition to the prevailing sentiment, profit-taking is the prime instigator of this latest bout of weakness. Overall Flow stats for ALL Bitcoin ETPs since 11th Jan 2024: * New US ETFs: +$4,536m* GBTC Outflow: -$3,447m* […]

Here Is Why Some Crypto Bigwigs Believe That Bitcoin Will Continue To Fall Through January 2024

The extravagantly hyped launch of some of the first spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US proved to be the nth iteration of the famous market-based adage: buy the rumor and sell the news. In fact, we had highlighted the utility of moving toward Ethereum in an auxiliary post at the time. Now, as Bitcoin seems poised to lose the $40,000 price level, some crypto bigwigs believe that the ongoing bout of weakness will last till the end of January 2024. In the immediate aftermath of the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, the apex cryptocurrency had made a […]

At the Current Pace, Spot Bitcoin ETFs Are on Course To Buy Up Almost 2 Million BTC This Year!

A lot has been written on the impact that the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US will unleash on the world's preeminent cryptocurrency. Some think that these investment vehicles will make Bitcoin more volatile, dancing to the ever-changing tune of the market. Others believe that these spot ETFs will play an important role in soaking up the available BTC supply, ushering in a fundamental repricing of the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Based on the initial trends, the latter hypothesis appears closer to reality. As we noted in a dedicated post at the time, Bitcoin responded spectacularly […]

The SEC Approves Spot Bitcoin ETFs After a Thoroughly Embarrassing Hacking Incident That Has Unleashed Calls for Congressional Involvement

After its anti-crypto stance failed to withstand scrutiny in courts, forcing the apex US financial regulator to resort to a hefty dose of inertia - more appropriately described as dragging one's feet - presumably in a last-ditch effort to create as many legally tenable hurdles as possible, the SEC has finally approved some of the first spot Bitcoin ETFs for trading on eligible American exchanges. This much-expected capitulation of sorts, however, has been overshadowed by yesterday's dramatic events, replete with a Hollywood-like caricature hacking incident. “Order granting accelerated approval” it’s over. Thank God. pic.twitter.com/qCozlxzSBX — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) January 10, […]

Nintendo has officially announced that it is suing PocketPair, the creators of Palworld, in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. In a statement on NintendoCoLtd on X, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on September 18, 2024. This lawsuit aims to seek an injunction against infringement and damages after PocketPair allegedly infringed multiple patents in Palworld. This news isn't surprising, except that it didn't come sooner. Palworld was first released in January 2024. In the game, there are plenty of "Pals" that look incredibly similar to the creatures in Pokemon, to the point that it's bordering […]
