The past seven days saw the cryptocurrency market lose close to $100 billion off its total capitalization, which currently sits at $1.150B. It’s not been very fun for market participants as the majority of coins are trading well in the red. Once again, the hottest story of the week might as well be PEPE, but not for the same reasons as last week. Let’s dive in. First things first, Bitcoin’s price crashed by roughly 9% through the past week and is currently trading at around...

While Bitcoin had whittled down waitlisted transaction orders by Wednesday, network congestion remains high. Median confirmation time hovered markedly above ten minutes. The on-chain metric for Bitcoin network fulfillment sits at a high unseen since Feb 2023 and Dec 2022. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of transactions at a time sit waiting to be confirmed. That’s far above normal levels in the tens of thousands. The extent of network lag is so high that at least one...

Bitcoin is up (YTD), banks are collapsing, and the Federal Reserve seems to be approaching the end of its monetary tightening mission. Does that mean the bull market is back in action? CryptoPotato spoke with crypto market analytics firm CryptoQuant at Consensus 2023 to discuss all things related to Bitcoin’s price – including its place in the market cycle, its correlation to gold, and its role during the ongoing US banking crisis. Bullish Times Ahead for Bitcoin When asked...

The crypto analytics platform – Santiment – indicated that the amount of bitcoin held on digital asset exchanges has recently plummeted below 6%. The last time the figures were that low was in December 2017. The decreased trust in centralized platforms intensified shortly after the fallout of FTX (one of the leaders in its field prior to its bankruptcy). Binance has also seen a rise in bitcoin outflows during the past several months, signaling that many users prefer to rely...

The Prime Minister of Liechtenstein – Daniel Risch – said the local lawmakers plan to enable bitcoin payments for various government services. However, he did not disclose whether the country will adopt the primary cryptocurrency as a legal tender.  Another country that has turned its focus toward BTC is Liechtenstein’s western neighbor – Switzerland – and, more specifically, the city of Lugano. The domestic authorities have developed an infrastructure to make Bitcoin,...

MicroStrategy – the business intelligence company co-founded by Michael Saylor – has purchased bitcoin each quarter since August 2020. The company is the largest corporate holder of the primary cryptocurrency, owning 140,000 BTC. It accumulated its stash at an average price of $29,803, meaning it currently sits on a minor unrealized loss. Adding More BTC During Every Quarter Despite the volatile nature of bitcoin and the 2022 bear market that disrupted the cryptocurrency...

Bitcoin failed to conquer the $30,000 level yesterday, and the subsequent rejection drove it south by over $1,500. The altcoins are Laos slightly in the red on a daily scale, with ETH struggling to remain above $1,900 and SHIB dumping by over 4%. Bitcoin Back at $29K After the unfavorable start of the week, which saw BTC slumping to under $27,800, the asset began its recovery almost immediately and spiked to $29,000 by Thursday. This came even after the US Fed’s latest...

Bitcoin initiated a leg up in the past 24 hours that brought it just inches away from the coveted $30,000 line. However, the asset is yet to breach it. The altcoins are also on the rise, with ETH nearing $2,000, while SOL and UNI are up by 4% daily. However, the day belongs to PEPE and Floki Inu. Bitcoin Stopped Ahead of $30K The working week, which was also the beginning of the new month, started on a bad note for bitcoin, which slipped by roughly two grand in hours to a...

The Casablanca Court of Appeals ruled that the 21-year-old Frenchman – Thomas Clausi – will serve an 18-month prison sentence for orchestrating a crypto scheme. The defendant must compensate the victims of his scam and pay a fine of 3.4 million euros ($3.7 million) to customs authorities.  Crypto fraudsters have been quite inventive recently, draining significant sums from investors. Fortunately, law enforcement agencies have arrested and sent to jail some of them.  For...

The broader cryptocurrency market failed to chart any notable changes in the past seven days, with the total capitalization remaining more or less what it was back then. This comes on the back of slight volatility in between, but nothing that could have been sustained. That said, there’s an obvious exception in the face of the freshly-minted and now-trending PEPE coin. Let’s dive in. Bitcoin is trading more or less where it was exactly seven days ago – at $29K. The...
