This week was entirely unproductive for cryptocurrency bulls as the market took a beating and Bitcoin collapsed to $40K. And yet, it appears that the entire world was focused on another exciting event – Elon Musk’s proposition to buy Twitter and take it private.

Bitcoin Remains Above $42K It’s safe to say that the primary cryptocurrency has seen better days as it attempted to jump above $47,000 earlier this week. However, it failed on both occasions when the bears...

The past week was filled with serious volatility, but unfortunately, a lot of it was to the downside. Bitcoin is currently trading at around $43,800, down 3.6% during the week. It’s interesting to note that this happens as the biggest BTC-focused event is currently taking place in Miami – Bitcoin 2022. The first week of April wasn’t very productive across the board. For BTC, the price was sitting at around $46,000 this time last week, and it was looking primed to test $47K....

This week was nothing short of eventful from all ends of the spectrum. The market went through considerable volatility, fortunately – it was to the upside for the most part.

All this while Axie Infinity’s Ronin bridge was exploited for some $600 million in what can easily be the largest crypto hack ever. Let’s unpack....

The report from Bloomberg Linea outlined the announcement from the city of Rio De Janeiro indicating that residents will be able to pay IPTU (Imposto Sobre a...

Bitcoin kept climbing yesterday and registered a new three-week high at just over $45,000. On a daily scale, though, most alternative coins have lost some traction, but the crypto market cap has reclaimed the coveted $2 trillion mark.
