Today’s crypto news to know

Bitcoin surges past $100,000 amid trade optimism and institutional inflows

Bitcoin (BTC) has reclaimed the US$100,000 mark for the first time since February, driven by optimism surrounding a new US-UK trade deal and significant institutional investments. On May 8, US Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows totaling US$117.4 million, with BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC leading the gains.

Additionally, the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady has bolstered investor confidence in crypto markets.

Coinbase acquires Deribit in landmark US$2.9 billion crypto derivatives deal

Coinbase has announced its acquisition of Deribit, a leading crypto derivatives exchange, for $2.9 billion—the largest deal in the crypto industry to date. This strategic move positions Coinbase to expand its offerings in the crypto options market, catering to the growing demand for advanced trading products.

The acquisition includes US$700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase Class A common stock. Deribit, which processed US$1.2 trillion in trading volume last year, controls approximately 85 percent of the global crypto options market.

This deal is expected to enhance Coinbase’s presence in the international derivatives market and diversify its revenue streams.

Analysts view the acquisition as a significant step for Coinbase to compete with other major exchanges like Binance and Kraken in the derivatives space. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is anticipated to close later this year. Until then, Deribit will continue its operations as usual.

Celsius founder sentenced to 12 years for crypto fraud

Alex Mashinsky, founder and former CEO of Celsius Network, has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for defrauding customers and manipulating the price of the company’s CEL token.

Between 2018 and 2022, Mashinsky misled investors about the safety of their funds, using customer deposits to inflate CEL’s value and personally profiting over US$48 million. Celsius, which once managed over US$25 billion in assets, collapsed in 2022 amid a broader crypto market downturn, leaving thousands of users unable to access their funds.
