The coin fell to a weekly low of $1,490 and was down over 6% for the week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, the fear, doubt, and uncertainty of US regulation were too great to offset the more promising news that Bitcoin\u2019s layer-2 Lightning payment network recorded a new all-time high.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The number of BTC locked within Lightning payment channels has been continually growing. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblock.co\/data\/on-chain-metrics\/bitcoin\/lightning-networks-capacity-daily\">data<\/a> collected by The Block Research, Lightning\u2019s payment capacity has increased by 63% since the start of 2022 &#8211; rising from 3,350 BTC on January 1st, 2022 to 5,510 BTC on February 11, 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The second network layer is designed to enable fast and cheap bitcoin micropayments, therefore, an increase in BTC capacity on the network is an incredibly positive sign for adoption.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Investors now look ahead to Tuesday for the next piece of, potentially, market-altering macroeconomic news. On Tues Feb 14th, the US will release January\u2019s CPI results, which may determine if bitcoin and the remainder of the crypto market see a third consecutive red week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/AAqZqB57dvufWcgDVoBk0SfSAKh0ircSgDIUBzcvAB14MPn_Cb8v-c6NKolyW9tUrjKHUnJPzUG-5-AdUgg_YhqL6p-2DkQrKTwXhFqTt-5WxSrsT6S6bYfKD_WvK1t5rIEDNxdKD774ep8l8_orejY\" alt=\"Graph of bitcoin Lightning network capacity\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Bitcoin\u2019s Lightning network capacity reaches a new all-time high (number of BTC held on the network).<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-markets-shaken-as-sec-targets-crypto-staking-services\"><strong>Markets shaken as SEC targets crypto staking services<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Crypto markets fell sharply on Thursday as news of a crackdown on crypto staking proliferated through the industry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Concerns were initially raised on Wednesday by Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong. The CEO posted a speculative <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brian_armstrong\/status\/1623459203150131201\">tweet<\/a> saying that the exchange had been hearing rumors that the SEC was going after crypto-staking services.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/1PzpsXGjfv3coatn1NyI0QwnBwK6hca8MAcOVUbrmHPqqw1k9bV_3lUKBpotb1nAHvduzQE9tUZqWArxFOcHpJmrOea3atZsGWjz9_9KbuQVNawqz4urEEX6V0SWV9BZRes_QCpPFbiZlhVOj_CdDhA\" alt=\"Tweet from Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong\r\n\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Tweet from Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Armstrong stated, \u201cWe&#8217;re hearing rumors that the SEC would like to get rid of crypto staking in the U.S. for retail customers.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On Thursday, Armstrong\u2019s fears became justified as US-based firm, Kraken, agreed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/77312c18-899f-4460-a858-fe5439373cb5\">halt its US crypto staking services<\/a> and pay a $30 million penalty to the SEC for not registering the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>News of the crackdown sent shockwaves through the crypto community as staking is a fundamental part of the industry.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Blockchains that operate thanks to Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanisms, such as Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche, require individuals to stake associated coins. Staked coins are used by a network of validators that validate transactions and ensure the security of a network.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks to ensuring the continued operation of a blockchain network, investors that stake are offered a staking reward. For example, current staking rewards for ETH are just over 7%.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Many crypto-focused platforms now offer a staking service to alleviate the ease of the process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While the services offered by Kraken were shut down on Thursday, the Chair of the SEC, Gary Gensler said in a statement that only services that are not registered would be affected.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>News from Kraken, \u201cshould make clear to the marketplace that staking-as-a-service providers must register and provide full, fair, and truthful disclosure and investor protection.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While disruption to centralised staking services within the US would be a knock to adoption, thankfully, the operations of PoS blockchains and decentralized services remain unaffected.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Want to learn how to stake your Ethereum using decentralized services?

Zhejiang is an ecosystem for testing Ethereum upgrades.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Importantly, the Shapella fork on the testnet will bring the capacity for ETH staking withdrawals, which is the anticipated change set to be implemented by the Shanghai upgrade.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If successful on the Zhejiang network &#8211; the first of three testnets &#8211; it will be an encouraging sign for Shanghai, which is set to take place in March.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Interestingly, the enhanced staking flexibility that the Shanghai upgrade will bring to ETH holders has not gone unnoticed by investment banks around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/tech\/2023\/02\/09\/jpmorgan-ethereums-shanghai-upgrade-to-raise-staking-toward-proof-of-stake-blockchain-average\/\">CoinDesk<\/a>, JPMorgan, one of the largest financial institutions in the world, released a report last week stating that the increased flexibility will likely lead to an increase in ETH stakers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The bank believes that Ethereum\u2019s staking ratio will likely increase from the current position of 14% to a ratio that is more in line with the average for other Proof-of-Stake blockchains.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The staking ratio measures the amount of staked coins in a network versus the circulating supply.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAssuming the staking rate converges over time to the 60% average of other large networks, the number of validators could increase from $0.5 million to $2.2 million and the annual yield in ETH would fall from 7.4% today to around 5%.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>To stay up to date on all things crypto, like Xcoins on <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/xcoinsofficial\"><em>Facebook<\/em><\/a><em>,
