๐ฐ Ethereum Investor Emerges After 8 years with a whopping 8,000 ETH
In a surprising twist, an 8-year dormant participant of Ethereum's Initial Coin Offering (ICO) reawakened, transferring a whopping 8,000 ETH ($14.7M) to a new address! Did they simply forget about their holdings, or is this a strategic move to diversify? Well, no one knows.

๐ Popular Exchange Hotbit Ceases Operation, Users Urged to Withdraw Funds
Hotbit exchange rings the closing bell, urging users to withdraw funds before June 21 โณ. A cocktail of challenges, including cyberattacks, regulatory probes, and declining cash flow have led to this unexpected finale. Meanwhile, several members of the community reported that they were unable to withdraw their funds from the exchange.
It's time to take a bow ๐
For 5 years and 4 months, the Hotbit team has been proud to participate in a wonderful crypto show with 5 million users. However, it is with great regret that we have made the decision to stop all CEX operations from May 22, UTC 04:00. We kindly ask allโฆ twitter.com/i/web/status/1โฆโ Hotbit News (@Hotbit_news)

A CoinGecko study reveals a shockwave in the metaverse with prominent virtual properties including Otherdeeds, The Sandbox, Decentraland, Somnium, and Voxels, registering a massive depreciation, almost 90%, from their 2022 peak prices! Otherdeeds tops the slide with a 78.2% dip while Voxels, despite a 93.8% loss, keeps spirits high and anticipates a comeback. On the bright side, Apple's impending mixed-reality headset launch might rekindle the global metaverse interest.

There are too many different ways to store your crypto. But whatโs the safest way? Itโs cold wallet.
๐ก What is a Cold wallet?
A cold wallet is a type of cryptocurrency wallet that securely stores your private crypto keys offline, usually on a physical device. It's also known as a hardware wallet, and it protects your digital crypto assets from online hackers by using a flash drive-like device that isn't connected to the internet. Ledger and Trezor devices are two of the most popular ones.
