Crypto execs on X are calling for know-your-customer (KYC) protocols to be scrapped after leading US exchange Coinbase disclosed that its staff had accepted bribes and leaked users’ personal data. The leak, shared by Coinbase on Thursday and documented in a K-8 filing, revealed how overseas support staff were corrupted by bad actors into stealing information, including home addresses, government IDs, and bank account details.

To add to Coinbase’s troubles, the Securities and Exchange Commission is now reportedly investigating whether the firm exaggerated its user numbers.

A widely followed analyst believes that crypto is poised to replicate a bubble witnessed in the late 1990s, triggered by a surge in internet adoption. Trader Michaël van de Poppe tells his 785,900 followers on the social media platform X that he’s extremely bullish on the crypto market as mainstream institutional players begin to embrace the asset class. According to Van de Poppe, conditions in the crypto market are reminiscent of the Dot-com era, when tech and web-based firms saw their valuation skyrocket as investors piled in and became overexuberant on the emerging sector. “All I know: This is the cycle where everything is going to go ballistic. Higher than ever. The Dot-com bubble type of cycle for crypto, where there’s a lot of liquidity flowing into this asset class and a lot of adoption. It’s basically the only asset class to be significantly outperforming everything.” The Dot-com bubble exploded in 2000, destroying $5 tri...

Bitcoin Magazine’s David Bailey is hoping to merge some of his companies into publicly-traded Kindly, and the valuation investors placed on the merger put Michael Saylor to shame. Thanks in part to Saylor himself amplifying Bailey’s news with its difficult-to-calculate metrics, Bailey’s company briefly rallied to a multiple-to-Net Asset Value (mNAV) over 11X greater than Saylor’s company. The imputed value of Bailey’s fully converted entity, which will eventually be called Nakamoto, briefly exceeded a 20X mNAV this morning. This colloquial and imprecise valuation metric is popular among bitcoin (BTC)-focused equity investors. $KDLY is the newest merger that will form a $BTC holdings company.
