Looking to cement Wyoming’s position at the forefront of Bitcoin innovation, freshman Representative Jacob Wasserburger (@jacob4wyoming) has introduced the “State Funds-Investment in Bitcoin Act” (HB0201), a bill aimed at creating a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve for the state. Following the footsteps of groundbreaking Bitcoin legislation previously passed in Wyoming, this bill seeks to secure the state’s financial future while paving the way for broader national adoption.

Wyoming: A Tradition of Innovation

“Wyoming has always been a pioneer—from women’s suffrage, to the first national park; from the invention of the LLC, to the frontier of digital assets,” Wasserburger remarked…

Boerse Stuttgart Digital has obtained a crypto asset service provider (CASP) license from the German regulator BaFin, enabling the provision of cryptocurrency services throughout the European Union under the new Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations. This strategic move allows the company, which operates both a brokerage and an exchange, to expand its offerings for financial institutions across Europe, enhancing its market presence.

The CASP license, highly sought after since the MiCA regulations came into effect on December 30, allows firms to operate seamlessly across all 27 EU countries. Previously, crypto asset service providers needed to secure individual licenses in each member state, a cumbersome process now streamlined by the new regulatory framework.

This achievement not only marks a significant milestone for Boerse Stuttgart Digital but also strengthens Germany’s position as a competitive player in the European crypto market. According to Oliver Vins, the company’s chief finance and regulatory officer, the swift issuance of the MiCAR license shortly after national legislation underscores Germany’s proactive approach to fostering innovation and regulatory clarity in the burgeoning crypto sector.

The Bitcoin MVRV Z-Score has historically been one of the most effective tools for identifying market cycle tops and bottoms in Bitcoin. Today, we’re excited to share an enhancement to this metric that makes it even more insightful for today’s dynamic market conditions.

What Is the Bitcoin MVRV Z-Score?

The MVRV Z-Score is derived by analyzing the ratio between Bitcoin’s realized cap (the average acquisition cost of all Bitcoin in circulation) and its market cap (current network valuation). By standardizing this ratio using Bitcoin’s price volatility (measured as the standard deviation), the Z-Score highlights periods of overvaluation or undervaluation relative to historical norms.
