NYDIG Predicts US Government Shutdown May Impact SEC’s ETF Decisions

Image
The New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) has predicted that the ongoing US government shutdown could extend from a mere day to a more protracted 35-day duration. This looming shutdown has raised concerns about its potential ramifications on the decisions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding a range of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The SEC’s impending decision on bitcoin spot ETFs is of particular interest, which must be made before January 10, 2024. This timeline has added pressure to the strained situation, given the potential delay caused by the government shutdown. The SEC could opt for a consistent approach, rendering decisions on all ETFs simultaneously, whether approval or rejection. Ethereum Futures ETF Set to Launch Amidst these developments, the launch of an Ethereum futures ETF is rapidly approaching. Remarkably, no spot Ethereum products are under consideration by the SEC . This marks a significant difference from the BITCOIN market, w...

BTC and the Rest of the Market May Crash Again, Predicts Analyst

Image
Dan Gambardello revealed in an X post today that another market crash may occur soon. According to the analyst, the potential market crash will then be followed by BTC printing higher highs. BTC’s price was able to overcome a medium-term negative trend line and was challenging resistance at press time. The cryptocurrency trader and analyst Dan Gambardello shared in an X post earlier today that the cryptocurrency market crashing one more time “would make sense as far as cycles go.” Following this potential crash, the analyst anticipates that Bitcoin (BTC) may print higher highs to lead the market into the next bull run.

Hong Kong police say JPEX suspect caught shredding and bleaching files

A Hong Kong man accused of playing a role in the unfolding JPEX crypto scandal has apparently been caught destroying potential evidence using paper shredders and a bathtub full of bleach. As reported by the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the man, known only as ‘Tang,’ was arrested along with three other suspects who authorities say are “relatively close to the core” of the troubled Dubai-based Crypto platform. The arrests bring the total number of people apprehended in connection with JPEX to 19 with police reportedly still tracking a number of people accused of money laundering and fraud.  JPEX was accused this month by Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission of having “suspicious features” while also operating without a license . Access to JPEX for residents in Hong Kong was blocked last week and more than 2,400 complaints have been made to the police regarding the company. Alongside the arrests, police also seized cash and valuables worth HK$6....

AI forecasts XRP price for the end of 2023

Image
The legal uncertainties surrounding XRP delve into a complex web of regulatory challenges, particularly in the context of  Ripple‘s ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  This legal tussle revolves around the SEC’s assertion that XRP qualifies as a security, a classification vehemently contested by Ripple. The intricacies of this dispute not only impact XRP’s current market standing but also project a shadow of uncertainty over its future trajectory. The outcome of this legal skirmish in 2024 holds profound implications for XRP’s regulatory standing and, consequently, its market dynamics. Investors and market participants are closely monitoring these legal proceedings, as the resolution could potentially influence not only XRP’s valuation but also set precedent for the broader cryptocurrency landscape in terms of regulatory clarity. As we navigate towards the conclusive quarter of the year, Finbold has sought insig...

Can Bitcoin Get Over Its 'Bearish Blues' In October?

Image
Putting its troubles from 2022 behind, Bitcoin [BTC] commenced 2023 on a positive trajectory. It successfully overcame the fears associated with the “Rektember” trend. This is after it registered a 1.94% surge, a feat not seen in the past six years. Yet, the critical question remains whether Bitcoin will conclude the year on a positive note, especially considering that Q4, notably October, is often regarded as one of the most promising months for the leading crypto currency. In the past, the fourth quarter, particularly October, has shown a tendency to be favorable for crypto . For example, despite the bearish conditions in 2022, Bitcoin recorded an impressive nearly 6% increase in value in the same month. In 2021, BTC saw a remarkable surge of 40% during October. This pattern of positive performance has been observed consistently throughout the years. Source At press time, as BTC trades at $26,410.21, the real question is whether the asset can report history and see a n...

Worldcoin’s WLD Token Makes Waves in Crypto Market

Image
Worldcoin ’s native token, WLD, has grabbed the attention of the CRYPTOCURRENCY community, registering an impressive 80% increase in value over the past fortnight. This surge has piqued the interest of everyday crypto users and caught the eye of industry experts. Riyad Carey, a distinguished crypto analyst, recently highlighted a surge in WLD buying on Binance within 24 hours. Drawing on data from Kaiko, a leading cryptocurrency data provider, Carey pinpointed an influx of roughly $1 million into WLD on Binance in a mere six-hour window. This substantial buying spree propelled WLD’s value, culminating in a 5% boost for the Worldcoin token. Moreover, the analysis suggests that a phase of WLD accumulation could be on the horizon. Carey’s insights don’t stop at Binance. A pattern emerges by examining WLD’s volume across various CRYPTOCURRENCY exchanges, including giants like Uniswap, Bithumb, Bybit, Kucoin, OKX, and Binance. Only Binance, as of September 2...

Binance Market Share Among non-USD Exchanges Drops by 25%

Crypto exchange Binance’s market share among non-USD platforms declined to nearly 50%. Binance had 75% of the market share at the start of the year, which dropped steadily in recent months. The declines come amid the company’s regulatory woes, massive layoffs, and increasing FUD. More troubles loom for cryptocurrency exchange Binance following a recent report that its market share among platforms that do not support US dollar trading has taken a significant hit. The report detailed that the decline started at the start of the year. In particular, the report revealed that Binance’s market share among these platforms, including Huobi, ByBit, Upbit, and OKX, stood at 75% at the end of last year. However, in what has been a tough year for the company, its tight grip on the market weakened. As a result, the crypto exchange’s market share declined to around 54% last month. According to the report, this figure could drop to 51% before the end of the month. ...

BRICS: Gold Prints New Monthly Low in Sept 2023 as U.S. Dollar Rises

Image
The BRICS idea of backing their yet-to-be-decided currency with GOLD to challenge the U.S. dollar could be a herculean task. The U.S. dollar reached a 10-month high in September 2023 as the DXY index printed a high of 106 on Tuesday. The U.S. dollar is only eight points away from reclaiming its 52-week high of 114. Gold, on the other hand, dipped this month as the U.S. dollar towered against the precious commodity. The fall comes after the BRICS alliance relentlessly accumulated GOLD this year to take on the U.S. dollar.

However, the GOLD index (XAU/USD) dipped to 110 on Tuesday, falling from a high of 119 for a week. The precious metal slipped below the crucial support of $1,900 this week. Gol...

Image
A closely followed crypto strategist believes that one Ethereum (ETH)-based digital asset is setting up for an explosive run. Pseudonymous analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 196,400 followers on the social media platform X that the decentralized oracle network Chainlink (LINK) is a solid crypto project from a fundamental standpoint.

Investing $100/week into SHIB in 2023 would be this worth today

Image
With the majority of assets in the cryptocurrency market back in the sideways trading mode, Shiba Inu (SHIB) is no different, and data suggests using the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy by investing $100 per week in 2023 would not have been profitable for this cryptocurrency. Specifically, investors who rely on this method spread out their investments by purchasing in specific intervals and in roughly equal amounts of money, regardless of the asset’s price at the time. DCA-ing is popular because it reduces the psychological barriers present in other investing strategies. DCA-ing SHIB As evident in the case of Shiba Inu, DCA is not always an ideal investment strategy, as it may fail to protect the investor from dropping market prices or stop them from investing during prolonged bull markets when the asset is pricier than during bearish periods. Indeed, buying $100 worth of SHIB at roughly the same time each week since January 1, 2023, which would involve making a total inves...
