Bitcoin failed to conquer the $30,000 level yesterday, and the subsequent rejection drove it south by over $1,500.

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.

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...

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) players have been left unscathed as the unmonitored control of off-chain capital of centralized crypto entities led to misdeeds and bad trades, and subsequent collapses. Be it multi-billion dollar bankruptcies, fraud allegations, rampant scandals, or plunging crypto-asset prices, 2022 was characterized by tragic events, culminating mostly from CeFis, which, in turn, enhanced the value proposition of DeFi. The decentralization-first purist approach...

The past few days of April did not bring any substantial price moves in either direction for bitcoin, which remains north of $29,000. The altcoins are also calm during the weekend as the trading volume has disappeared. On a weekly scale, though, BTC’s dominance has risen by over a percentage. BTC Maintains $29K During Weekend This weekend resembles the previous one in terms of lack of volatility, aside from BTC’s highest price point. Last Monday began with bitcoin jumping to...

Bitcoin has finally calmed after the massive volatility mid-week and stands just above $29,000. The altcoins are also sitting quietly today, with Solana being the only notable gainer from the larger caps. BTC Maintains $29K This past working week started rather calmly, as bitcoin continued trading sideways in a tight range of around $27,500.

What a week it has been. The cryptocurrency market went on a massive rollercoaster where the market cap ping-ponged tremendously. At the end, it turned out somewhat fine, but what a ride it was. Let’s unpack. First things first, Bitcoin’s price was trading quietly around $27,500 throughout the beginning of the week, but all that changed on April 26th when it soared toward $28,500. After spending a few hours there, it was up only once again. BTC touched $30K and sent the...

Jeremy Allaire, CEO of stablecoin giant Circle, spoke at Consensus 2023 on Wednesday about where companies like his fit into the current US dollar system and regulatory regime.  The executive believes a widespread loss of faith in US Banking is contributing to “de-dollarization”, and that digital dollar stablecoins will help it retain its global dominance.  A Safe Digital Dollar During a panel titled “ A 10-Year Rollercoaster Toward a New Model of Money,” Allaire said that...

Litecoin’s third halving is officially 100 days away, with the event expected to occur on August 2, 2023, at block 2,520,000. However, the date may change due to the network’s hash rate fluctuations. Halving is a mechanism in which the rewards that crypto miners receive for validating transactions on a blockchain are cut in half. This is done to slow down the rate at which new units of a digital asset are created, thereby creating scarcity and potentially boosting the asset’s...
