$SUI Token Launches and $BUSD hits Record Low in Activity

May 3, 2023
Market Update Prices slid lower this morning ahead of the Fed's FOMC meeting at 2 pm ET before bouncing back after the Fed's interest rate decision of 25bps was released. Bitcoin and Ethereum are up 0.23% and 0.82%, respectively, while most altcoins are down. $ARB is down 1.69%, $SOL is down 2.13%, and $LDO is down 3.72%. An exception to this is Bitcoin layer 2 blockchain, $STX, which is up 5.28% as transactions on Bitcoin hit all-time highs due to Ordinal and BRC-20 activity picking up, which we discuss in more detail below. Traditional markets are up slightly - SPX is up 0.30%, and NDQ is up 0.30%. The dollar (DXY) is continuing its move lower, down 0.58%. Binance USD (BUSD), Binance's stablecoin that is pegged to the US dollar, has hit a record low in activity among regulatory scrutiny.

CRYPTO MARKET UPDATE DESPITE BEING THE LAUNCH DAY FOR ETH 5.60% ETFS, CRYPTO BROADLY MOVED LOWER IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TODAY, POSSIBLY DUE TO MOVEMENT OUT OF THE MT. GOX TRUSTEE WALLETS. Mt. Gox sent approximately $130 million in BTC 5.08% to Bitstamp, leaving about 90k BTC 5.08% remaining in the trustee wallets. This move lower was likely also influenced by a rise in the DXY. Currently, BTC 5.08% is trading around $66.5k,...
