Can Bitcoin Overtake Other Means of Payments in 2024?
Can Bitcoin Overtake Other Means of Payments in 2024?
26.09.2023 21:21
As the world of cryptocurrency continues to expand, Bitcoin remains the most well-known and extensively used digital currency. It has established itself as a valuable store of value and a potential inflation hedge. However, many fans and investors are wondering whether Bitcoin can transition from being solely a store of wealth to a mainstream form of payment in 2024 and beyond. The Evolution of Bitcoin: From Digital Gold to Digital CashSatoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic developer of Bitcoin, envisioned it as a peer-to-peer electronic payment system. It has undergone considerable changes over the years, with many now perceiving it as digital gold or a long-term store of value rather than a medium of exchange for everyday transactions.The limits of Bitcoin's blockchain technology contributed to the shift from a digital currency system to a digital gold narrative. Because of scalability concerns and transaction fees, the Bitcoin network was less viable for modest, everyday transactions when [...]

Coinbase’s European Retreat? FTX Acquisition Plans Halted amid Regulatory Scrutiny
26.09.2023 21:10
Coinbase has suspended its plans to acquire FTX Europe, a move that was aimed at enabling it to enter into the European derivatives market. This turn of events happened as a response to the regulatory challenges in the US crypto market.

As the exclusive provider of perpetual futures in Europe, FTX Europe has a substantial share of the region's trading volumes. Its derivatives transactions constitute nearly 75% of the worldwide crypto trading volume, which witnessed a robust growth of 13%, reaching $2 trillion in June.Coinbase Faces Regulatory ChallengesFTX Europe's profitability attracted a number of potential suitors following its parent company's declaration of bankruptcy in 2022. Among those interested in the deal are industry players like Crypto.com and Trek Labs.Derivatives are financial instruments linked to the value of underlying assets such as Bitcoin and Ether.

26.09.2023 21:00
Consistent with the volatile crypto market, the past few months have been filled with uncertainty for Bitcoin (BTC). However, the bears appear to be in control, with the premier cryptocurrency trending toward the $26,000 mark in the past few days.

This latest data, which tracks trading activity on various exchanges, shows the decline BTC volume has experienced in recent weeks. CryptoQuant data revealed that the transaction volume of Bitcoin across exchanges roamed between 8,000 and 15,000 daily transactions in the past week. This reflects an abrupt decline from the 600,000 daily transactions [...]

Data shows that the Bitcoin mining sector has become the most sustainably-powered global industry, as more than 50% of it uses clean energy. Majority Of Bitcoin Mining Industry Uses Clean Energy Sources One of the main criticisms against BTC is that the sector uses a considerable amount of energy and, thus, releases a notable amount of emissions.

Bitcoin Mega Whales Return To Selling Mode, More Downside Soon?
26.09.2023 16:45
On-chain data shows the largest of the Bitcoin whales have returned to distribution, a sign that could be bearish for the asset’s price. Bitcoin Investors With More Than 10,000 BTC Are Selling Again As explained by analyst James V. Straten in a new post on X, the BTC whales, who had earlier been in a phase of accumulation, have switched their behavior to that of distribution now. The relevant indicator here is the “Trend Accumulation Score” from Glassnode, which keeps track of whether Bitcoin investors have been buying or selling during the past month. This metric finds this value by looking at the balance changes in the addresses of the holders. The score also puts a higher weightage on the larger entities, meaning that the accumulation of a few large holders would be more significant for the indicator than the behavior of the smaller hands.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the Founder of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has made a renewed request for temporary release from jail as he awaits trial, according to a letter submitted by his legal team to the overseeing judge.Renewed Plea: Bankman-Fried's Latest Bid for ReleaseThe journey towards this request began in August when Bankman-Fried's release on bond was revoked. He was incarcerated after a judge ruled that he had likely attempted to tamper with witnesses. On September 12, his request to overturn this decision was denied, and the appeal to reverse the ruling was met with rejection on September 21.In their latest plea, Bankman-Fried's lawyers noted that the court had not definitively closed the door to further applications from the defense. They argued that the practical challenges of preparing for the trial, including receiving a lengthy list of potential witnesses, thousands of pages of materials, and over 1,300 exhibits from the government, made a strong case for [...]

Cardano $0.24 Support Test: Can ADA Price Reverse Its Downward Trend?
Cardano $0.24 Support Test: Can ADA Price Reverse Its Downward Trend?
26.09.2023 12:45
Cardano (ADA) finds itself at a pivotal juncture as it tests its longstanding support at $0.24. This critical level has held firm for nearly three years, emerging as a significant accumulation point for savvy investors.  The recent daily candle hints at a somewhat neutral stance in the market. This slight uptick in price suggests a potential dissipation of the strong bearish sentiment that has lingered, with traders now recognizing renewed buying interest hovering around the $0.24 mark. Bullish Hopes Rest On Breaking Sustained ADA Resistance The eyes of Cardano enthusiasts are now fixed on a key resistance level, as breaking free from this barrier could set the stage for a significant trend reversal.  According to a price report, should Cardano manage to surpass this critical resistance point, it could spark a rally, potentially pushing prices upward by approximately 6%, with the next major hurdle resting at $0.25. Should this upward momentum persist, it could further drive the coin’s [...]

Litecoin (LTC) has spent the past week trading within a tight price range, with its value hovering steadily around the mid-range point of $64.

In the past month, there have been more daily active addresses on the NEAR Protocol than in Ethereum and its layer-2 protocols, including Arbitrum and OP Mainnet, Artemis data from September 25 reveals. Artemis, an institutional data platform for digital assets, shows that the number of daily active addresses on NEAR Protocol has been consistently above the 400,000 level in September.  Daily Active Addresses On NEAR Protocol Surging Looking closer at the data confirms that the number of daily active addresses on Ethereum, the pioneer smart contract platform that hosts most decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) activity, has been dropping. To illustrate, the number of daily active on Ethereum rose above 1 million in mid-September but has since more than halved to below 400,000. The same trend can be seen in Arbitrum, which dropped from around 200,000 in late June to 150,000 when writing on September 25. During this time, NEAR Protocol’s daily active addresses have [...]

Bitcoin Social Media Talk Drops To 3-Month Low, All Eyes On Altcoins?
Bitcoin Social Media Talk Drops To 3-Month Low, All Eyes On Altcoins?
25.09.2023 20:00
Data shows the social media talk around Bitcoin has dropped to low levels recently, indicating that investors are paying attention to altcoins instead. Bitcoin Social Dominance Has Declined To Just 17% Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, BTC-related discussions on social media have dropped recently. The relevant indicator here is “social dominance,” based on the concept of “social volume.” The social volume of any asset is a measure of the degree of talk it receives on the major social media platforms. The metric makes this measurement through a text-based data collection that Santiment has procured from different websites. A feature of the indicator is that it only counts the unique number of posts or messages that mention the coin. This means that if a thread receives many mentions of the cryptocurrency, its contribution to the social volume will remain just one unit.
