HARVARD Student’s BRAVE Stand Against Antisemitism at RNC

18 July 2024 — Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Harvard student, spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee about the antisemitism he faced on campus. He revealed that anti-Israel and anti-American students openly called for Hamas-style attacks against the U.S., with no action from Harvard’s administration.

Kestenbaum criticized Harvard for not condemning Hamas’s atrocities, including the murder of 45 American citizens and taking 12 hostages on October 7. Once a Bernie Sanders supporter, he now believes the far-left has abandoned both Jewish and American people.

He declared that the Democratic Party is ideologically poisoned and that this poison has spread to America’s youth. Kestenbaum expressed his support for President Trump’s policies to expel foreign students who violate laws and harass Jewish classmates, receiving cheers from the audience.

ISRAEL RESCUES Hostages: Dramatic Operation Against Hamas

08 June 2024 — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel Police, and Israel Security Agency (ISA) successfully rescued four hostages from Gaza. The hostages include Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.

The rescue operation targeted two Hamas buildings above ground. Noa Argamani’s abduction had become a symbol of the October 7 Hamas terror attack, with footage of her kidnapping widely circulated.

The IDF shared a video showing the dramatic moment they freed three of the four hostages. This successful mission underscores Israel’s commitment to bringing its citizens home safely from terrorist captivity.

UKRAINE DEFENDS Against Russian Onslaught in Kharkiv

11 May 2024 — Ukrainian troops fought off a Russian military attack in Kharkiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the conflict as intense, with Russia using missiles, drones, and artillery. The White House stands firmly behind Ukraine’s ability to endure these attacks.

Russian military sources said they aimed at Ukrainian ammo depots and troops. Yet, Kharkiv’s regional leader, Oleh Syniehubov, confirmed that his forces kept control of all territory. He noted that Russian scouts tried to enter Ukraine but were pushed back successfully.

The European Union is thinking about using money from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine during this tough time. This plan would strengthen Ukrainian defenses and aid their recovery as the situation worsens in the area.

This move by the EU could provide crucial support for Ukraine while also putting additional pressure on Russia by targeting its financial resources.

UK’S RECORD Military Aid to UKRAINE: A Bold Stand Against Russian Aggression

23 April 2024 — Britain has unveiled its largest military aid package for Ukraine, totaling £500 million. This significant boost raises the UK’s total support to £3 billion for the current financial year. The comprehensive package includes 60 boats, 400 vehicles, over 1,600 missiles, and nearly four million rounds of ammunition.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stressed the critical role of supporting Ukraine in Europe’s security landscape. “Defending Ukraine against Russia’s brutal ambitions is crucial not just for their sovereignty but also for the safety of all European nations,” Sunak remarked before his discussions with European leaders and NATO’s chief. He cautioned that a victory for Putin could pose threats to NATO territories as well.

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps emphasized how this unprecedented aid would bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities against Russian advances. “This record package will equip President Zelenskiy and his courageous nation with essential resources to repel Putin and bring back peace and stability to Europe,” stated Shapps, reaffirming Britain’s dedication to its NATO allies and European security overall.

Shapps further underscored Britain’s unwavering commitment to support its allies by enhancing Ukraine’s military strength which is vital in maintaining regional stability and deterring future aggression from Russia.

BIDEN’S SHOCK Move: Sanctions on Israeli Military Could Ignite Tensions

22 April 2024 — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is considering imposing sanctions on the Israel Defense Forces’ battalion “Netzah Yehuda.” This unprecedented move could be announced soon and might heighten existing tensions between the U.S. and Israel, further strained by conflicts in Gaza.

Israeli leaders are firmly against these potential sanctions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to defend Israeli military actions vigorously. “If anyone thinks they can impose sanctions on a unit in the IDF, I will fight it with all my might,” Netanyahu declared.

The Netzah Yehuda battalion has been under fire for alleged human rights violations involving Palestinian civilians. Notably, a 78-year-old Palestinian-American died after being detained by this battalion at a West Bank checkpoint last year, drawing intense international criticism and now possibly leading to U.S. sanctions against them.

This development could mark a significant shift in U.S.-Israel relations, potentially impacting diplomatic ties and military collaborations between the two nations if sanctions are implemented.

JUDGEMENT HOUR: Assange’s Future Teeters as UK Judges Decide on US Extradition

26 March 2024 — Today, two esteemed judges from the British High Court will determine the destiny of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks. The verdict, slated for 10:30 a.m. GMT (6:30 a.m. ET), will decide if Assange can contest his extradition to the U.S.

At age 52, Assange is up against espionage charges in America for disclosing classified military documents over ten years ago. Despite this, he has not yet faced trial in an American court due to his escape from the country.

This decision comes on the heels of last month’s two-day hearing which might have been Assange’s final bid to thwart his extradition. If denied a comprehensive appeal by the High Court, Assange could make one last plea before the European Court of Human Rights.

Supporters of Assange are apprehensive that an unfavorable ruling could expedite his extradition. His spouse Stella underscored this critical juncture with her message yesterday stating “This is it. DECISION TOMORROW.”

UK Government STRIKES BACK Against Post Office Injustice: Here’s What You Need to Know

13 March 2024 — The UK government has taken a significant stride towards rectifying one of the country’s most egregious miscarriages of justice. A new law introduced on Wednesday aims to overturn the wrongful convictions of hundreds of Post Office branch managers across England and Wales.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized that this legislation is vital for “finally clearing” the names of those unjustly convicted due to a flawed computer accounting system, known as Horizon. The victims, whose lives were drastically affected by this scandal, have experienced prolonged delays in receiving compensation.

Under the anticipated law, expected to be enacted by summer, convictions will be automatically overturned if they meet certain criteria. These include cases initiated by the state-owned Post Office or Crown Prosecution Service and offenses committed between 1996 and 2018 using the faulty Horizon software.

More than 700 subpostmasters were prosecuted and criminally convicted between 1999 and 2015 due to this software glitch. Those with overturned convictions will receive an interim payment with an option for a final offer of £600,000 ($760,000). Enhanced financial compensation will be provided to those who suffered financially but weren’t convicted.

Biden WARNED: Israeli Defense Leaders URGE Against Recognizing Palestinian State

23 February 2024 — A group of Israeli defense and security leaders have issued a stern warning to President Biden. Their message is clear — do not recognize a Palestinian state. They believe this move could endanger Israel’s existence and indirectly support regimes known for sponsoring terrorism, such as Iran and Russia.

The Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF) sent this urgent letter on February 19th. They caution that recognizing Palestine would be interpreted as rewarding violent actions by Hamas, global terrorist organizations, Iran, and other rogue states.

Brigadier General Amir Avivi, founder of the IDSF, spoke to Fox News Digital about the situation. He stressed that it’s crucial for the U.S., at this juncture, to stand by its key ally in the Middle East and uphold American interests in the region.

In a rare display of consensus on Wednesday, Israel’s Knesset (parliament) unanimously dismissed foreign pressures to single-handedly recognize a Palestinian state.

DEFEAT for Disney: Court TOSSES Lawsuit Against Governor DeSantis

01 February 2024 — On Wednesday, a significant legal victory was scored by Governor DeSantis and his administration. The court dismissed a lawsuit brought by Disney, asserting that the entertainment giant lacked the necessary standing to sue.

The basis for dismissal centered on Disney’s inability to demonstrate any imminent harm or injury directly linked to actions taken by either the Secretary or governor.

While the court acknowledged that Disney could potentially bring a case against members of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CTFOD), it was determined that even then, they would not prevail.

The case in question, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts v. DeSantis (No. 4:23-cv-163), took place in the U.S. District Court for Northern Florida.

UN Court DEMANDS Israel Prevent GENOCIDE in Gaza: A Closer Look at the Controversial Ruling

26 January 2024 — The United Nations’ highest court has issued a mandate to Israel. The order is to prevent any acts of genocide in Gaza. However, the ruling did not call for a halt to the ongoing military operation that has wreaked havoc on the Palestinian region.

This verdict could place Israel under legal examination for an extended period. It originates from a genocide lawsuit filed by South Africa and delves into one of the globe’s most intricate conflicts.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees the court’s readiness to entertain genocide charges as a “mark of shame.” Despite facing global pressure and criticism for Israel’s wartime actions, Netanyahu remains committed to continuing with the war.

The conflict has led to over 26,000 Palestinian deaths and displaced nearly 85% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million. The Israeli government, established as a Jewish state after World War II following the Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews, feels deeply wounded by these accusations.

DOUBLE ROYAL Shock: Future Monarchs Undergo Surgery — Unraveling the Mystery

19 January 2024 — Britain’s future rulers, Catherine, Princess of Wales and her husband, are both in recovery after undergoing separate medical procedures. The 42-year-old princess is recuperating well after abdominal surgery earlier this week, a royal insider revealed.

In an unexpected turn of events, Buckingham Palace also disclosed that the future King will be admitted for a non-cancerous prostate procedure next week. This transparency is a departure from the reign of Queen Elizabeth II when such health matters were kept confidential often leading to rampant speculation.

With both successors to the throne requiring medical attention, other members of the Royal Family are temporarily stepping back from their duties. Prince William is taking time off to care for his wife while Princess Anne, known for her unwavering dedication to duty, is expected to take on much of their responsibilities during this time.

The princess’s return to official duties isn’t anticipated until after Easter and she’s expected to spend up two weeks in hospital before continuing her recovery at home.

FAIRFAX Under Siege: Deceptive ROSE Ruse Burglaries Shock Community

11 January 2024 — Residents of Fairfax, Virginia are being put on high alert due to a series of deceptive burglaries dubbed as the “rose ruse”. Since December 28, police have received reports of five similar incidents where thieves break into homes using a cunning distraction technique.

According to the Fairfax County Police Department, in four out of these five instances, a woman carrying flowers approached the home and knocked on the door. When there was no response, she would return to a waiting vehicle. Subsequently, two men would force their way into the house and steal valuables.

The thieves have been reported to take extreme measures to hide their identities by wearing masks and tampering with home surveillance systems. As investigations proceed, local authorities are urging residents to stay vigilant against this rising wave of crime.

The stolen items range from jewelry and cash to purses. This alarming trend is causing unease among residents as they grapple with this unexpected threat in their community.

From BETTING FRENZY to Prison: Andy May’s £13M Gamble and His Fight Against Addiction

06 January 2024 — Andy May, once a finance manager from Norfolk, squandered his family’s house deposit in a gambling frenzy. After seven years of abstinence from betting, the allure of a “free bet” during the 2014 World Cup lured him back into the destructive habit.

May’s addiction spiraled out of control as he misused his company credit card to gamble away £1.3 million. This reckless act led him straight to prison. Now released after two years, he has teamed up with GambleAware to share his cautionary tale and raise awareness about gambling addiction.

During his four-and-a-half-year betting spree, May wagered on everything conceivable. He even resorted to paying off personal credit card debts using company funds. His illicit activities eventually caught up with him in 2019 when he was found guilty of stealing over £1.3 million from his employer.

Despite losing his job and deceiving his family about it, May confesses that he might be tempted by gambling again but fights daily against this urge. He underscores that no amount of potential winnings could enhance his life while everything is

IOWA SCHOOL Shooting: Innocent Lives Lost in Heart-Wrenching Attack, Community in Shock

04 January 2024 — A day of learning turned into a nightmare when a 17-year-old student unleashed gunfire at Perry High School in Iowa. The first day back from winter break was marred by the death of a sixth-grader and injuries to five others, including the school’s principal, Dan Marburger. The shooter, Dylan Butler, also died due to what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The tranquil town of Perry, home to approximately 8,000 people and situated about 40 miles northwest of Des Moines, was plunged into turmoil by the shocking incident. Families were reunited at the McCreary Community Building after the shooting that has left this close-knit community devastated.

Authorities disclosed that during his assault Butler was armed with both a pump-action shotgun and a small-caliber handgun. A crude homemade explosive device was also discovered on-site but was safely deactivated by authorities.

This latest episode of gun violence once again puts America’s gun ownership rights under the microscope. As such events persistently occur nationwide, they cast an ever-growing shadow over other fundamental rights.

EXTREME Hate Speech: Neo-Nazi Podcasters PAY the Price for Threats Against Prince Harry and Family

04 January 2024 — In a recent ruling, a London court has handed down sentences to two neo-Nazi podcasters. The charges? Inciting violence against Prince Harry and his young son. The culprits, Christopher Gibbons and Tyrone Patten-Walsh, are the hosts of “Lone Wolf Radio”. According to the sentencing judge, these men are “dedicated and unapologetic white supremacists”.

Gibbons, aged 40, was dealt an eight-year prison sentence. His co-host Patten-Walsh, 34 years old, received seven years behind bars. Following their prison terms, both men will be under probation for three years. Their podcast was a platform for spreading racist views along with antisemitic, Islamophobic, homophobic and misogynistic ideologies.

The duo didn’t just stop at propagating hate speech; they encouraged violent acts against ethnic minorities as well as individuals in interracial relationships whom they labeled as “race traitors”. Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle happens to be biracial. In one shocking episode of their show Gibbons even suggested that Prince Harry should face prosecution for treason while his son Archie was dehumanized as a “creature” that should be euthanized.

UK Judges DISMISS Security Threats, HAND Citizenship to Isis Propagandist

01 January 2024 — British judges have recently overlooked concerns raised by the Home Office regarding a Sudanese migrant, referred to as “S3”. This individual entered the UK illegally in 2005 and again in 2018. Despite having his British passport revoked due to active dissemination of ISIS propaganda, he has now been granted UK citizenship and permanent anonymity.

S3’s legal representation argued that his deportation would infringe upon his human rights. They cited potential detention and torture risks in Sudan as reasons for him to remain in the UK. This argument swayed the justices, even though S3 has made multiple trips back to Sudan without facing any form of persecution. During one such visit in December 2016, he allegedly used social media platforms to spread ISIS propaganda.

The government presented a case suggesting that S3 is a threat to national security. MI5 claimed that he showed unwavering commitment towards extremist ideologies propagated by ISIS and could potentially influence others towards radicalization. However, his lawyers successfully invoked provisions from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) preventing his deportation.

Prominent Brexiteers like Nigel Farage believe that Rishi Sunak’s government must withdraw from ECHR for regaining control over Britain’s borders. The ECHR has been previously used as a shield against deportation for at least 53 convicted terrorists.

PASSPORT PANIC: Zimbabweans Race Against Time Amid Looming Price Hike Fear

25 December 2023 — In Zimbabwe, currently grappling with economic woes, the most sought-after Christmas gift isn’t a gadget or toy, but a passport. The capital city’s passport office in Harare is teeming with citizens hoping to secure their travel documents before an expected price surge in the New Year. The looming increase and deteriorating economic conditions are driving a spike in migration.

Nolan Mukona, a 49-year-old father of three, was among those who rose at dawn to join the queue at the passport office. Despite his early start, he was greeted by over 100 people already waiting when he arrived at 5 a.m. “The only thing that can make my Christmas cheerful is if I manage to get a passport,” Mukona shared.

At present, passports cost $120 — an amount already burdensome for many Zimbabweans struggling to meet basic needs. However, according to 2024 budget proposals from the finance minister, these fees will rise to $150 in January — reduced from an initially proposed $200 after public backlash.

Over recent decades, millions of Zimbabweans have fled their homeland due to its crumbling economy. This exodus has accelerated recently as optimism for improvement following Robert Mugabe’s ousting from power in 2017 continues to wane.

ASYLUM-SEEKERS Shock: UK Lawmakers Vote to Send Refugees to Rwanda Despite Heated Controversy

13 December 2023 — In a move that has stirred up considerable controversy, British lawmakers have given their approval to the government’s controversial plan. This plan involves sending asylum-seekers on a one-way journey to Rwanda. Human rights groups have expressed strong disapproval, and the policy has already cost the U.K. a staggering $300 million without any flights having taken off yet. The House of Commons gave its nod to the government’s Rwanda bill by 313-269 votes, thereby preventing a defeat that could have undermined Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s authority.

The primary aim of this bill is to bypass a U.K. Supreme Court ruling that declared it illegal for migrants who reach Britain via boats across the English Channel to be sent off to Rwanda. This vote was pivotal for Sunak’s Conservatives who command an impressive majority and haven’t seen a government bill defeated at its first Commons vote since 1986.

However, not everyone in the Conservative party is onboard with this decision. The Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill faces opposition from Conservative centrists who argue it teeters on violating international law, as well as lawmakers on the party’s authoritarian right who believe it doesn’t go far enough in ensuring unauthorized migrants can be deported. Earlier this week, many hard-liners threatened

Turkish MP COLLAPSES Amid Fiery Denouncement of Israel’s Actions Against Hamas

12 December 2023 — In a dramatic turn of events, Bitmez, the Deputy Chief of Turkey’s Saadet Party, collapsed during a budgetary debate in the Grand Assembly of the Turkish parliament. His collapse followed an impassioned criticism of Israel’s military response to Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Bitmez accused Israelis of committing “crimes against humanity” and “ethnic cleansing.” His final words before collapsing were reportedly, “Israel will not escape the wrath of Allah!”

Bitmez, aged 54 and a diabetic patient, was immediately rushed to Ankara’s Bilkent City Hospital. He was reported to be in critical condition following his sudden collapse.

The Saadet or “Felicity” Party that Bitmez is affiliated with is known for its Islamist ideology. It’s considered more hardline than President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development (AKP) party. This incident comes at a time when relations between Turkey and Israel are tense due to Israel’s counter-terrorist operation in Gaza initiated after an attack by Hamas on October 7.

Norwegian Tanker UNDER SIEGE: Houthi’s Shocking Protest Against Israel

12 December 2023 — The Houthi movement in Yemen, an ally of Iran, announced on Tuesday that they targeted a Norwegian oil and chemical tanker with a rocket. This recent attack is their latest form of protest against Israel’s actions in Gaza. The ship, Strinda, was hit after its crew “ignored all warning calls,” said Houthi military spokesperson Yehia Sareea.

Sareea also stated that the Houthis will continue to disrupt ships heading towards Israeli ports. Their demand? They want Israel to permit the entry of food and medical supplies into the Gaza Strip — over 1,000 miles away from their stronghold in Sanaa.

The attack on Strinda took place about 60 nautical miles north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait — an essential sea lane for global oil shipments. The U.S. military’s Central Command confirmed on Tuesday that an anti-ship cruise missile “launched from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen” struck the Strinda.

USS MASON Bravely Defends Against Pirate Attack and Dodges Yemeni Missiles: A New Threat on the Horizon?

28 November 2023 — In a daring act of valor, the USS Mason responded to a distress call from commercial vessel M/V Central Park. The Mason successfully defended against an attack by five armed pirates. After attempting to flee, the pirates were pursued and apprehended by the Mason’s crew. The Pentagon has suggested that these pirates are likely of Somali origin, not Houthi.

As the rescue operation was winding down, two ballistic missiles were launched from areas in Yemen under Houthi control. These missiles landed approximately 10 nautical miles away from both the USS Mason and M/V Central Park. Fortunately, no damage or injuries have been reported.

This missile attack could signify an escalation of aggression by Iran-backed forces towards U.S. assets in this region. While there has been a recent increase in drone and missile attacks on U.S bases and troops stationed in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed groups, this marks a new development with ballistic missiles being directed at U.S ships.

The vessel under attack, M/V Central Park flies under Liberia’s flag but is managed by an Israeli firm owned by Israel’s Ofer

MASSIVE Stand Against ANTISEMITISM: Boris Johnson Joins Thousands in Historic London March

28 November 2023 — On Sunday, an unprecedented number of people, including former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, took to the streets of London to protest against antisemitism. The march was strategically organized a day after a large pro-Palestinian rally and amidst rising tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Organizers hailed it as the most significant demonstration against antisemitism in nearly a century.

The crowd was a sea of Israeli flags and Union Jacks, with participants bearing powerful placards like “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.” Alongside Johnson, U.K. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and other high-ranking government officials marched in unity with the Jewish community.

Notably detained at the event was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, former leader of the far-right English Defence League. Earlier this month, Robinson had an altercation with police during an Armistice Day march in London after refusing to leave despite warnings that his presence could distress others.

Among those marching was 75-year-old Malcolm Canning from London who voiced his concerns about current anti-Jewish sentiment. He expressed his alarm at how anything associated with Judaism feels under attack now and lamented reaching such a stage in this country.

WHITE HOUSE Pleads for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire: Netanyahu’s Firm Stand Against Unconditional Truce

03 November 2023 — The White House is urging for temporary ceasefires in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. The goal is to facilitate aid delivery and ensure civilian safety. U.S. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, put forth these proposals during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last Friday.

Blinken believes that these negotiations could potentially lead to the release of hostages held by Hamas, currently estimated at 241 by Israel. Yet, Netanyahu has adamantly declared he won’t agree to a ceasefire without the prior liberation of these hostages.

Blinken views this strategy as an opportunity to deliver much-needed relief to those impacted by the conflict and foster an environment conducive for hostage release. However, he conceded that a pause doesn’t necessarily guarantee the ultimate freedom of the hostages.

While Blinken’s proposal targets humanitarian relief amidst rising tensions, it remains uncertain how this plan will be received or executed given Netanyahu’s steadfast opposition against any ceasefire without preconditions met.

NATWEST CEO Falls: ICO Rules Against Dame Alison Rose, NO More Actions Planned

28 October 2023 — The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has ruled against former NatWest CEO, Dame Alison Rose. She was found to have breached data laws in her dealings with Brexit leader Nigel Farage. However, since Rose has already stepped down from her role, the ICO plans no further action.

Rose twice broke data laws by sharing the bank’s decision to debank Farage with a reporter. She revealed sensitive personal financial details about Farage and gave misleading information about why his account was closed.

According to the ICO report, these actions violated Farage’s rights. But as Rose has resigned and NatWest is conducting its own investigation, the ICO doesn’t plan any additional regulatory action at this time.

Despite potential hefty payouts from NatWest in coming years, critics believe it would be inappropriate to reward Rose with a large sum due to her violations of Financial Conduct Authority code and data laws.

AMERICAN TEEN Freed: The Emotional Rollercoaster of a Family’s Fight Against Hamas Captivity

21 October 2023 — Natalie Raanan, an American teenager, has been released after enduring two harrowing weeks as a hostage under Hamas in Gaza. Her father, Uri Raanan from Illinois, confirmed the news of her freedom and reassured that she is recovering well. The announcement sparked an outpouring of relief and joy within the family who had spent anxious hours praying for Natalie’s safe return.

Uri Raanan expressed his overwhelming relief and joy at the thought of his daughter being home in time to celebrate her upcoming 18th birthday. Before her abduction, Natalie and her brother Ben had made plans to get matching tattoos as a symbol of their bond on this special day. In a heartfelt tribute during her absence, Ben got a tattoo that intertwined their names.

The family’s group text message thread turned from cautious optimism to jubilant celebration upon receiving the news about Natalie’s release. Despite their happiness, they remain conscious that other families continue to live under the shadow of fear for their captive loved ones.

BULLISH on Bitcoin: Crypto Market ERUPTS in January as FEAR Turns to GREED

30 January 2023 — Bitcoin (BTC) is on track to have the best January in the last decade as investors turn bullish on crypto after a disastrous 2022. Bitcoin leads the way as it approaches $24,000, up a massive 44% from the beginning of the month, where it hovered around $16,500 a coin.

The broader cryptocurrency market has also turned bullish, with other top coins such as Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB) seeing substantial monthly returns of 37% and 30%, respectively.

The upturn comes after last year saw the crypto market plunge, fueled by fears of regulation and the FTX scandal. The year shredded $600 billion (-66%) from Bitcoin’s market cap, ending the year worth only a third of its 2022 peak value.

Despite the ongoing concerns of regulation, the fear in the market looks to be shifting to greed as investors take advantage of bargain prices. The rise may continue, but savvy investors will be wary of another bear market rally where a sharp sell-off will send prices back to Earth.
