OANDA's UK Crypto Venture, MicroStrategy's Security Breach, and NFT Controversy

Ethereum (ETH) re-entered the $3,000 price range as the business week began in Asia, reflecting an increase in the cryptocurrency’s supply in profit. This price movement marks the second time ETH has crossed the $3,000 threshold this month, after a year’s absence. Ethereum’s open interest also shows positive sentiment, indicating increased investor interest and cash inflow into the network. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) remains around $51,000 despite several bullish indicators. In the altcoin space, Uniswap (UNI) hit a nearly two-year high of around $11, following a proposal for a fee reward mechanism for token holders, causing the token to surge by over 50%.

2. MicroStrategy’s X Account Compromised: Beware of phishing scams! MicroStrategy’s social media account was hacked to promote a fake cryptocurrency airdrop.

Stay alert for phishing attempts.
