While gold has attracted great interest among investors with its safe haven narrative amid the ongoing economic uncertainty, gold continues to see strong inflows as Bitcoin lags behind amid risk-off sentiment.

But when every appchain is making their own independent design decisions, you have fragmentation. Then they leave your L1. Ethereum, Cosmos, Avalanche and Polkadot have all suffered from similar problems. Initia’s architecture Initia, which is launching its mainnet today, is determined to run back the same appchain vision while avoiding the pitfalls of fragmentation. Appchains that choose…
[ad_1] Bitcoin has repeatedly failed to break past the $85K resistance as the market remains devoid of bullish catalysts. Since April 13, the flagship cryptocurrency has traded within a narrow range of $83,000 and $85,000, with price action weighed down by a mix of macroeconomic factors.
