Recently, IntoTheBlock, a leading crypto analytics firm, released a report highlighting the resilience of several memecoins despite the general downturn in the crypto market. This report reveals that certain memecoins are not only surviving but also thriving, with a majority of their holders remaining in profit. The analytics provided by IntoTheBlock offer a comprehensive look at the performance of these coins, showcasing a surprising defiance of the broader market trends. This resilience is particularly noteworthy given the typically speculative and volatile nature of memecoins, which are often influenced by social media trends and celebrity endorsements rather than the more traditional…
Yesterday, the price of Bitcoin fell by over 4% to around $58,000, triggering a broader market decline. Major cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, BNB Chain, and XRP also suffered losses, although not as severely as Bitcoin. The decline follows the release of US CPI data, which despite positive stock market reactions, appeared to have negatively impacted the cryptocurrency market. US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows, with Grayscale’s GBTC particularly affected. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs saw sustained inflows, with BlackRock’s ETHA particularly on the rise. Cryptocurrency analytics firm CryptoQuant has issued a warning about the potential for further market…

Shiba Inu price has the potential to rise to the $0.00018 territory if someone burns 410 trillion SHIB like Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin did in 2021. The broader market has continued to dictate Shiba Inu’s price over the years. As a result, SHIB, which has followed in Bitcoin’s (BTC) footsteps since launch, has witnessed a series of price upswings and declines. The meme coin is currently 80.6% down from its ATH of $0.00008845. Besides the broader market trend, Shiba Inu price is also a product of unique market demand and token burns. A proper combination of increased demand and reduced…
Kyrgyzstan has proposed amendments to laws governing its central bank and the payments industry to pave the way for a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic (NBKR) has stepped up its CBDC development this year. In March, it selected 12 companies that had submitted proposals for a digital som. They included New York-based R3, the company behind the Corda blockchain, and Germany’s Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), which is conducting similar CBDC projects with Mauritania, Thailand, Brazil, and Ghana. A month later, the central bank revealed that it had developed a demo version of the digital som…
Miners listed in the U.S. have an advantage over private peers as they can raise capital easily, the broker said. Bernstein said it sees the large publicly traded U.S. bitcoin miners as consolidators in the sector. Leading miners should focus on growing market share and increasing their hashrates, the report said. Bitcoin (BTC) miners listed in the U.S. have a large advantage over their unlisted peers because their easier access to funding offers them more financial options than privately held firms or those that trade elsewhere, broker Bernstein said in a research report on Monday. “Being able to raise debt/equity…
Several days of mostly quiet price action came to a fast end during U.S. trading hours Thursday afternoon, with cryptocurrencies suddenly plunging and sending bitcoin (BTC) to its weakest level since just after the early August market panic. At press time, bitcoin was changing hands at $57,700, down nearly 3% from its price just about an hour earlier. Other majors saw even steeper declines, including ether (ETH) and solana (SOL). The broad market gauge CoinDesk 20 Index was lower by 3% from 24 hours ago. Summer 2024 has been notable for two previous panicky declines, the first of which occurred…
According to one analyst, a significant drop in transaction fees on the Ethereum network could signal a bullish trend for ETH. “Any time ETH gas fees bottom, it usually signals a price bottom in the medium term,” said Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research. Lee also suggests that ETH prices tend to recover strongly after such a cycle, and if this coincides with interest rate cuts, the market’s growth potential increases. Gas fees, the fee users pay to transact on the Ethereum network, recently dropped to as low as 0.6 gwei, with low-priority transactions costing just 1 gwei or…

A recent court order in Dubai appears to have legitimized salary payment using crypto, but some experts point to unanswered questions. It is unclear whether the ruling will be appealed. A Dubai court ordered a company to compensate a worker through a cryptocurrency token, as stipulated in the employment contract, a legal precedent that raises several questions even as it lends some legitimization to crypto in the region. The ruling does not, however, necessarily mean crypto is legalized for salary payments in general, two Dubai-based lawyers told CoinDesk. “The ruling merely recognises a specific Virtual Asset (EcoWatt Tokens) as being…
