According to the Charleston County coroner’s office, the 34-year-old who had just gotten married hours earlier died in the wreck which left three others in the golf cart injured, including the groom, who is hospitalised and in critical condition. The Guardian reported that the groom’s mother has created a GoFundMe page to pay for her daughter-in-law’s funeral and her son’s medical bills. It included a photo of the newlyweds running under sparklers just before the crash, which caused the golf cart to roll over several times.

Possible paths to $100,000 have been flagged recently by Standard Chartered, BCA Research, and Bloomberg Intelligence. Bitcoin is set to climb for the fourth month in a row after eking out an April gain, the longest such stretch since a six-month advance through March 2021.  The token added as much as 2.5% on Sunday and was trading at about $29,700 as of 1:55 p.m. in New York. Smaller digital assets such as Ether, Binance Coin and Cardano also advanced. In the past decade, four-month winning runs in Bitcoin foreshadowed an average surge of 260% over the subsequent year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. A jump of that magnitude would take the largest digital asset to a record $105,000 from the $30,000-zone where its 80% rebound in 2023 from last year’s punishing crypto rout has stalled somewhat.  Bitcoin has changed narrative garb like a chameleon during the revival, drawing succor from bets on a Federal Reserve pivot to looser monetary policy, the perceived blow to...

On Sunday, as the U.S. government worked behind the scenes with two major banks to engineer the latest financial rescue plan, the Bitcoin network hit a new all-time high for the number of daily transactions processed. There were more confirmed transactions than it ever had in its 14-year history, beating the previous record set during the 2017 bull run. Today, JPMorgan Chase has acquired First Republic after the distressed bank’s assets were seized by regulators, becoming the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history. While the two events – Bitcoin’s surging use and the latest example of U.S. financial calamity – are not exactly related, the timing here does suggest something about the future of the crypto industry and bitcoin’s possible place in an evermore-dysfunctional economy. At the same time regulators and legislators are working to lessen crypto’s inroads into the wider economy, the private banking sector is showing itself to be unable to manage itself.
