Celebrating ten years of Ethereum at CVSummit 2024

This year’s edition of the CV Summit, Switzerland’s flagship blockchain event, was truly special: 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of Ethereum, which was celebrated at the special event ETH10X. Zug made history in 2014 when the Ethereum founders set up shop in the small Swiss town. The Swiss authorities and the Canton and City of Zug thanked all Ethereum founders for their transformative impact on Zug and the global economy and grant the founders prestigious awards.

Bitcoin Suisse and the Ethereum Foundation share a deep-rooted history. In the early days, Bitcoin Suisse played a pivotal role as Ethereum’s gateway to the market by providing on-and-off ramp functionalities. In 2015, Bitcoin Suisse significantly supported the Ether crowdsale, and in 2020, our clients contributed an impressive 17% of all ETH needed for the launch of Ethereum 2.0. We are proud to have been a steadfast partner since the very beginning and continue to wish Ethereum every success for the future.

As a platinum partner of this year’s CV Summit, Bitcoin Suisse will be participating in three panels and proudly celebrating the Ethereum founders at ETH10X. Our CEO, Andrej Majcen, will have the honour of presenting an award to one of Ethereum's co-founders, making this milestone celebration even more remarkable. You can watch the panels on CV Lab's YouTube channel here.

New Fundamental

Bitcoin seasonality and current trends

Our latest “Fundamental” article explores the seasonality trends of the S&P 500 and bitcoin. Historically, August and September tend to be tough months for both markets, but October and November often see impressive gains during the so-called “uptober” — especially for bitcoin, which has posted some of its best returns during this period. While the old phrase "Sell in May and go away" might be well-known, our analysis suggests that autumn could be a key time to jump back in.
