According to @BitMEXResearch, the @CryptoHayes family office, @MaelstromFund, has awarded an open source developer grant to Ben Allen for work on Payjoin (@payjoindevkit), a privacy-focused Bitcoin transaction protocol. This initiative aims to enhance transactional privacy on the Bitcoin network, which could drive increased adoption and trading volumes for privacy-oriented tokens and Bitcoin itself. As reported by Cointelegraph, improvements in privacy infrastructure may influence trading strategies, particularly for traders seeking anonymity and improved fungibility in Bitcoin transactions. The development may also lead to higher volatility in privacy coin markets as competitive technologies emerge. Source: BitMEX Research via Twitter, Cointelegraph.

According to Milk Road, a recent move by the Federal Reserve could potentially drive Bitcoin's price up to $250,000, as discussed by Maelstrom Fund's CIO, CryptoHayes. The analysis suggests that despite tariffs, the continuous monetary easing by the Fed might contribute significantly to Bitcoin's next price surge. This development is crucial for traders considering Bitcoin's future price trajectory.

According to BitMEX Research, Arthur Hayes's family office, Maelstrom Fund, has announced a second Bitcoin Core grant. This grant, which will last for one year, has been awarded to seasoned engineer Jon Atack. This continued support from a prominent figure in the crypto space could positively influence Bitcoin development and market sentiment.

According to BitMEX Research, Maelstrom Fund, an investment fund associated with CryptoHayes, has initiated a Bitcoin Core open source grant program. The program offers no-strings-attached grants, and applications are now open.
