Crypto Market News: Balaji Srinivasan, popular investor and the former Chief Technology Officer of Coinbase, is again in the news for his aggressive Bitcoin prediction. Earlier, the investor became a sensation with his bet over Bitcoin price reaching $1 million within 90 days. He made the prediction in March 2023, only to end up prematurely closing out the bet by paying $1.5 million in the first week of May 2023, accepting his loss. Meanwhile, the crypto market has been witnessing a price correction phase as the US Fed’s rate hike uncertainty remains.

Hence, it makes sense that in the lead up to the US Presidential Election 2024, the debate around crypto regulation and the Web 3.0 space heats up among the US lawmakers.
