It’s been an interesting week in the cryptocurrency space, and finally, we saw some green. The market recovered the coveted $2 trillion total capitalization mark as the majority of the cryptocurrencies charted considerable gains. All in all, the total market cap is up by some $200 billion in the past seven days. Bitcoin surged by 8.4% over the same period and tested the important technical resistance at $45,000. This is the third time the cryptocurrency is coming against this...

One of the perks of blockchain-based technologies and public ledgers is that… well, they are public. This means anyone can tap into the data and receive valuable insights. Large holders have long been touted as entities with sufficient market knowledge and experience and are oftentimes being looked up to. In this article, we take a closer look at the 100 largest Ethereum-based addresses and their holdings. Let’s find out what the whales hold. Top Ethereum Whale Holdings The...

Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is seldom reserved with her distaste for the crypto industry. Name any common criticism of Bitcoin, and she’s probably shared it already: volatility issues, environmental damage, ‘shadowy super coders’, and what have you. I won’t claim that her criticisms are entirely invalid (though I’ll cover those later), but they’ve become predictable to the point of comedy. Her reputation in the crypto community has entered the ranks of people like...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection made headlines recently with several bombshell revelations – from the purchase of the iconic CryptoPunks to the release of the ApeCoin.

After dipping to $40,000 yesterday, bitcoin went on the offensive and tapped $42,000 to mark a near 10-day high. The altcoins have also turned green today, with Ethereum eyeing $3,000 and Avalanche soaring by over 9%. Bitcoin Sees a 9-Day High The primary cryptocurrency experienced enhanced volatility last week when it suddenly pumped by $3,000 in minutes from $39,000 to nearly $42,000. However, the situation reversed shortly after, and the asset retraced just as quickly to...

This week was action-packed, and even though the broader cryptocurrency market managed to recover some of the losses from the previous period. Bitcoin maintains relative stability around $40K and seems to have reclaimed the level. Let’s unpack. Bitcoin was sitting at around $39,000 this time last week, and we saw little to no action for quite a while. On Monday, the price dipped below $38K, but the bulls were quick to step up, and all losses were recovered by the end of the...

Last weekend marked the second anniversary of the notorious COVID-19-induced bitcoin crash in which the asset dumped by 50% in a day to below $4,000. While many naysayers rushed to declare BTC’s death (again), the subsequent 24 months turned out to be quite positive, given the fact that the asset added another zero to its USD price, was adopted by numerous institutional investors, and even legalized in a country. What Happened Back Then? It has been two years, but it almost...

After weeks of debates and delays, the EU has voted against banning the use and mining of proof of work digital assets, such as bitcoin and ether. CryptoPotato reported earlier the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework developed by the European Union, which had one rather threatening note that sought the de facto ban of PoW cryptocurrencies.

The cryptocurrency market failed to deliver any significant movements in the past 24 hours as the majority of coins are trading flat with no real discrepancies.

The Lower House of Russia’s Parliament – State Duma – has reportedly called upon establishing a regulatory framework on cryptocurrencies rather than imposing a blanket ban on them. The authorities joined the likes of the Finance Ministry, which urged for the same thing. The Never-Ending Saga Earlier this year, the Bank of Russia – the central banking institution of the largest country by landmass – reiterated its negative stance on the crypto sector. It called it a pyramid...
