Trading futures in the US. Is it really banned?

Every professional trader strictly adheres to the trading strategy, calculates the risk-profit ratio, and carefully analyzes all the opportunities the market provides. He buys assets, engages in margin trading and gradually develops, approaching one of the most lucrative and profitable areas – futures contracts.
Futures really occupies the best place in every trader’s wallet, because he gets many attractive advantages of this type of trading:
- Access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies without having to own them.
- The ability to buy or sell at a pre-planned price at a pre-arranged time.
- Hedging the risks associated with constant changes in the price and market situation.
- The ability to profit from changes in the price of an asset (isn’t it the main point of trading?).
- Huge leverage (up to x125), allowing you to increase your profit many times.
- Low commissions when trading altcoins (note for scalpers).
After such an analysis of all the advantages of futures contracts, of course, the trader puts them on his agenda, analyzing the market and adapting his strategy. But next he encounters a major problem – he is in the United States.
The U.S. is a country of opportunity for many, especially for crypto traders, because it is a state where both cryptocurrency is legalized and the country guarantees complete security for this sector. And in this case, regulators decided that security is first and foremost about reducing risk, so exchanges offering derivatives trading are banned and remain without a license. Unfortunately, this step provoked popular exchanges to leave the region or limit the number of offered products.
But any respectful trader will not be able to give up the leverage х125, the possibility to implement their strategy to the maximum and do trading taking into account all possibilities of this sphere. Therefore, we will tell and show you how to enter the futures market, with a few steps and a couple of secrets.

Futures traders can make money today thanks to Facebook stock down.

In all, since his peak wealth in September 2021, the Facebook founder has lost $100 billion, Meta has fallen $677 billion in that time. Now with a capitalization of $263 billion, Meta has dropped out of the top 20 most expensive U.S. companies.

Net Bitcoin ATMs record an increase after 4 months of global downtrend

The total number of crypto ATMs consistently declined in the first four months of 2023. During the timeframe, major economies like the United States contributed to the dwindling numbers, but Australia, Poland and Spain increased crypto ATM installations.
The chart above shows that, in the first four months of 2023, the net crypto ATMs worldwide declined by 5,850. In May, however, 1,397 machines were added back to the global crypto ATM network, confirming data from Coin ATM Radar.
While Bitcoin ATMs do not contribute to the growth of the Bitcoin network, it serves as a physical gateway for people to exchange their fiat currencies for crypto. In 2023 alone, Australia installed a total of 233 ATMs, climbing up the ranks to become the third-largest crypto ATM hub in the world.
Despite a poor year-long reduction, the United States maintains a leading position — representing 84.7% of crypto ATMs worldwide, followed by Canada at 7.6%.
At the time of writing, 35,069 ATMs remain operational worldwide. Recently, a hacker managed to access sensitive information of Bitcoin ATM manufacturer General Bytes, including passwords, private keys and funds.
“We have taken immediate steps to prevent further unauthorized access to our systems and are working tirelessly to protect our customers,” General Bytes said in its statement.
Previously hacker managed to drain at least 56 BTC and 21.82 ETH. To avoid a similar situation in the future, the company advised its operators and customers to migrate to a self-hosted server installation, which can be secured by a virtual private network.

Microsoft pens AI cloud computing deal with former Ethereum miner CoreWeave

Microsoft has reportedly signed a deal with former Ethereum miner CoreWeave to use its cloud computing infrastructure to support its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered services.
According to a June 1 report from CNBC, which cites “people with knowledge of the matter,” Microsoft is potentially set to spend billions of dollars on the deal with CoreWeave over multiple years.
One of CNBC’s sources claimed the deal was signed earlier in 2023.
Amid the rapid growth of AI tech over the past 12 months, Microsoft has rolled out several AI-powered services. A prime example is OpenAI’s GPT-4 integration with its web browsers Bing and Microsoft Edge, which the firm recently axed the waitlist for.
OpenAI also utilizes Microsoft’s own cloud computing infrastructure, Azure, to handle its sizable computing requirements.
CoreWeave started off as an Ethereum miner in 2017, utilizing graphics processing units (GPUs) to verify transactions on Ethereum during its formative days as a proof-of-work blockchain.
The firm started pivoting its focus to cloud GPU computing around 2019 after spotting a hole in the market for competitively priced, scalable and varied compute options — something it claimed legacy providers weren’t offering.
Notably, reports of the deal with Microsoft come just a few days after CoreWeave announced that it had extended its $221 million Series B funding round from April to bring the total to $421 million.
The Series B was led by Magnetar Capital, with participation from long-standing strategic partner Nvidia.
In April, the firm stated that the capital would be used to expand its cloud infrastructure, which is focused on a wide range of computational workloads such as AI, machine learning, visual effects and rendering — among others.
Commenting on the Microsoft deal via Twitter, Nic Carter, Bitcoin advocate and Castle Island Ventures general partner, highlighted the significance of the firm’s change of industry:
“Ppl make fun of ‘crypto to AI pivots’ but CoreWeave went from mining ETH to using their fleet to do compute for AI and now they’re worth $2b+… one of the fastest growing companies in the world right now.”

Six months on from FTX, Tether mines BTC, and Nvidia’s AI superchips

This week’s Crypto Biz looks at the crypto industry since the FTX collapse, Tether’s Bitcoin mining in Latin America, Tabi’s funding round and Nvidia’s artificial intelligence machines.
Just over six months after FTX’s dramatic collapse, the crypto industry can finally begin analyzing the effects of the debacle. The quick ripple effect to other crypto businesses drained liquidity from the industry and prolonged the crypto winter, with Silvergate Bank, BlockFi and Genesis Global Capital among those hit by the exchange’s collapse.
FTX’s bankruptcy has also affected the crypto regulatory landscape, with authorities cracking down on firms — employing controversial methods in some cases — to avoid a deepening blend of traditional finance with cryptocurrencies.
Companies that closed their United States operations citing regulatory pressure in the past months included Bittrex, Nexo and Unbanked, to name a few. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said this week that China stands to benefit most from restrictive crypto policies in the U.S., but only time will tell if this is true.
Companies are also reviewing their business operations due to increased regulatory scrutiny. In response to crypto firms being debanked, Binance has even considered buying a bank in the past months, said its CEO Chanpeng Zhao. Now, the crypto exchange is gearing up for a layoff that will boost its compliance and regulatory capabilities.
While the industry digests the recent events, FTX’s new management claims FTX 2.0 could be launched as soon as next year, hopefully in time to join the club of crypto companies striving to remain in business after November 2022.
This week’s Crypto Biz also looks at Tether’s Bitcoin mining operations in Latin America, Tabi’s funding round and Nvidia’s efforts to power the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) machines.
