Arbitrum Launches Fraud Proofs In Testnet: Why Is ARB Down?
Arbitrum Launches Fraud Proofs In Testnet: Why Is ARB Down?
18.04.2024 03:00
Arbitrum, the largest Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution by total value locked (TVL), is taking steps towards decentralization. In an update on April 16, Offchain Labs–Arbitrum developers–said they have deployed the permissionless version of their fraud proofs, dubbed Bounded Liquidity Delay (BOLD), to testnet. Ethereum Layer-2s Are Popular, But There Is A Big Problem Ethereum layer-2 solutions have been gaining prominence over the years. According to L2Beat data on April 17, these platforms control over $37 billion of assets. Protocol developers and users can send transactions cheaply through Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and other alternatives.  However, while they are popular and command billions in TVL, most of these platforms’ fraud proofs are being developed. Typically, when users transact all chains, all transactions must be confirmed by a web of miners or validators, depending on the consensus mechanism.  Related Reading: Whale Alert: MATIC Poised For Epic Surge – Time To Dive In?

DeFi And Web3 Gaming Dominate Q1: Record Transactions Leave Stablecoins In The Dust, Report
DeFi And Web3 Gaming Dominate Q1: Record Transactions Leave Stablecoins In The Dust, Report
18.04.2024 02:00
In a recent report published by QuickNode, the first quarter of 2024 showed the dominance of decentralized finance (DeFi) and the notable growth of Web3 gaming in the crypto industry, which outperformed the stablecoin sector in key metrics, indicating investor preference and market sentiment during this period.  Hopes For Second ‘DeFi Summer’  Per the report, DeFi experienced a significant resurgence in Q1’24, fueled by a surge in developer and user activity, particularly on chains like Solana (SOL) and Base.  This resurgence has sparked growing hopes of a second ‘DeFi Summer,’ as DeFi projects embrace new concepts such as staking, liquid staking, restaking, and liquid restaking, which have been catalysts for its growth. Notably, staking now represents a substantial portion of DeFi’s Total Value Locked (TVL). While stablecoins remain the top spot for address activity, DeFi surpassed stablecoins in an essential metric: transaction counts.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Don’t Buy [...]

XRP Whales Are On The Move Again, But Are They Bullish Or Bearish?
18.04.2024 01:00
XRP could continue a price correction in the short term as recent price action has put it rebounding against a resistance level of $0.5. On-chain data has also revealed a row of transactions from whales of the cryptocurrency in the past 24 hours, but are they bullish or bearish on XRP? These large transactions have been a mix of both, although the trading volume of each transaction could point to them being bearish rather than bullish.  XRP Whales On The Move Large XRP transactions, often indicators of whale activity, have spiked recently. XRP has seen some major whale movements over the past few weeks that point to a bearish sentiment among big players amidst a price correction for the cryptocurrency in the past seven days. However, while some of these big transfers are going into crypto exchanges for a potential selloff, some are also anonymous wallets shifting huge amounts of tokens from crypto exchanges into private wallets.

18.04.2024 00:00
ApeCoin (APE), the ERC-20 token governing the ApeCoin Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), showed notable growth in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024.  Key metrics showed significant progress, driving APE’s market capitalization, token price, and trading volume quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), demonstrating consecutive quarters of growth.

He claimed that anyone who buys these tokens might fall into a “classic trap.” To avoid this trap, he advised that it might be best not to buy these altcoins now despite their impressive recovery so far.  Related Reading: XRP Price Set For 3,000% Rally To $22, Analyst Predicts Crypto Banter made these statements based on his belief that the bearish sentiment isn’t over and that there will still be a lot of “tensions” in the market.  Therefore, he noted that the best strategy to deploy in [...]

Bitcoin Displays Bullish Adam And Eve Double Bottom: What It Means
Bitcoin Displays Bullish Adam And Eve Double Bottom: What It Means
17.04.2024 10:00
In his latest technical analysis, Christopher Inks, a recognized figure in the field of crypto analysis, points to the possible formation of a bullish Adam and Eve double bottom pattern for Bitcoin. This formation is spotted on the BTC/USD 1-hour chart and has significant implications for the cryptocurrency’s short-term price action. The chart depicts Bitcoin’s price movement with a distinct pattern that resembles two troughs with a peak in between. The first trough, known as the “Adam,” is characterized by a sharp, V-shaped bottom, indicating a rapid price decline and equally swift rebound. This is followed by a more rounded, gradual, and wider “Eve” trough, suggesting a slower and more deliberate price recovery. Bitcoin Targets Its All-Time High In this analysis, the price level to watch is marked by a horizontal yellow line, which Inks suggests is the neckline of the pattern. A breakout and close above this neckline would confirm the pattern, signaling a potential bullish reversal. [...]

Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Slow Down After 700,000 BTC Selloff, Reversal Sign?
16.04.2024 21:00
On-chain data shows the Bitcoin long-term holder selling pressure has been running out recently after an extended selloff from the group. Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Have Sold Huge In Past 4 Months As analyst James Van Straten explained in a post on X, the long-term holders have massively reduced distribution during the last ten days. The “long-term holders” (LTHs) here refer to the Bitcoin investors carrying their coins since more than 155 days ago. The LTHs comprise one of the two main divisions of the BTC sector, with the other cohort known as the “short-term holders” (STHs). The STHs are naturally the investors who bought within the past 155 days. Related Reading: Bitcoin Has Next Major Demand Zone At $56,000: Brace For Impact? Statistically, the longer an investor holds onto their coins, the less likely they become to sell at any point. As such, the LTHs represent the more committed part of the BTC market.

16.04.2024 20:00
While Bitcoin prices hover around 15% below their all-time highs, with some skeptics predicting more losses, one analyst on X expects the coin to bounce strongly, even breaking above all-time highs. Taking to X, the trader argues that Bitcoin has yet to breach the Golden Ratio Multiplier’s Cycle Top, currently sitting at $79,591. Supposedly, the analyst continues, this target price increases the longer it remains unchallenged.  Bitcoin Traders Need To Be Patient So far, BTC is trending lower and is technically within a bear breakout formation following sharp losses on April 13. As the coin struggles for gains and is boxed inside the bear bar, the odds of further upswings like those registered in Q1 2024 remain muted.  Related Reading: Elon Musk Latest Tweet: How Much Did Dogecoin Gain From It Today?

Bitcoin Nears Depletion: Only Nine Months' Supply Ahead of Halving
16.04.2024 16:22
Cryptocurrency exchanges have only nine months' supply of Bitcoin at current prices, with three days left to Bitcoin halving. According to the latest analysis by Bybit, with just 2 million Bitcoins remaining and a daily inflow of $500 million to spot Bitcoin ETFs, approximately 7,142 Bitcoins will exit exchange reserves daily. Bitcoin Supply Hits Unprecedented ScarcityThe much-anticipated halving event, which reduces the supply of Bitcoins by 50%, is expected to make the digital asset more scarce. Bybit highlighted the rapid reduction of Bitcoin reserves across centralized exchanges post-halving. This trend indicates that it will take about nine months to exhaust all remaining reserves. Ben Joe, the Co-Founder and CEO of Bybit, mentioned: "Each Bitcoin halving sharpens the narrative of Bitcoin as not just a currency, but a scarce digital asset, akin to digital gold. This upcoming halving in 2024 will thrust Bitcoin into an era of unprecedented scarcity, making it twice as rare as [...]

‘We Sold Everything Last Night’, Reveals Crypto Research Firm
16.04.2024 15:00
Markus Thielen of 10x Research unveiled a significant shift in his crypto strategy in response to mounting financial pressures and market instability, as detailed in an investor note released earlier today. Thielen, an influential figure in the analysis sector, cited a concerning outlook on risk assets, which encompasses both technology stocks and cryptocurrencies, primarily driven by unanticipated and ongoing inflation rates. According to projections from Bank of America, US CPI headline inflation is expected to reach 4.8% by the November 2024 election. Over the past three months, month-over-month CPI inflation has averaged 0.4%. An acceleration at this speed would mean the rate is more than twice the Federal Reserve’s inflation target of 2% by November. Why 10x Research Sold (Almost) All Crypto And Risk Assets In light of this, 10x Research’s decision to divest from risky assets was catalyzed by an adverse shift in economic indicators. Notably, the US bond market is currently [...]

Why The Bitcoin Halving Matters, But Not The Way You Think: Expert

David Lawant, Head of Research at FalconX, a digital assets prime brokerage with trading, financing, and custody for leading financial institutions, recently offered an analysis on X (formerly Twitter) regarding the evolving role of Bitcoin halvings in market dynamics. This analysis challenges the traditional view that halvings directly and significantly affect Bitcoin’s price, instead highlighting a broader economic and strategic context that might be influencing investor perceptions and market behavior more profoundly. The Miner’s Diminishing Impact On Bitcoin Price Lawant begins by addressing the changing impact of Bitcoin miners on market prices. He presents a detailed chart comparing the total mining revenue to the Bitcoin spot traded volume from 2012 onwards, clearly marking the dates of the three previous halvings.

Even with Bitcoin prices facing pressure from sellers, Willy Woo, an on-chain analyst, thinks the coin will reach new highs thanks to the launch of new Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In a post on X, Woo said the coin could soar to as high as $91,000 in a bear bottom but soar to as high as $650,000 in a bull market top. However, Bitcoin will only soar to these mega valuations, assuming that leading asset managers will fully deploy their recommended allocations to the world’s most valuable crypto asset. Bitcoin In A Wide Range At spot rates, Bitcoin looks shaky. Even after the surge to all-time highs of over $73,000 in mid-March 2024, the coin has been under pressure. So far, prices are within a range.
