Bitcoin has slid lower over the past 24 hours as the cryptocurrency failed to surmount $12,000 in the latest leg higher. As of the time of this article’s writing, BTC trades for $11,600 — 5% shy of the local highs. Investors are still reeling from the flash crash that transpired approximately one week ago. While that was seemingly a black swan event, a trader is fearing a secondary event. The individual in question is a two-time BitMEX return on equity (ROE) leaderboard trader, meaning he has a strong track record.

Xavier Becerra, Attorney General (AG) for the State of California, released a warning for investors and consumers on Friday, highlighting the rise in digital asset scams. The warning provides guidance and caution, given the substantial number and variety of scams that have plagued the cryptocurrency market. The apparent impetus for the announcement may be linked to the most recent scam perpetrated by hackers on Twitter. Several high-profile accounts were breached, promising double returns on whatever was sent. However, the scam was just another in a long line of hoaxes. Per

The Curve Protocol is one of the largest and most used projects in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space. It is integrated with most DeFi protocols and has seen rapid adoption in a short window. It’s essentially the most competent automated market maker (AMM) out there for stablecoins and wrapped tokens. Curve’s most valuable accomplishment has been giving people incentive to contribute liquidity and earn rewards over their idle assets. A community-based project, the protocol innovates continuously and is now progressing towards total decentralization.  In this guide, we take a look

In March 2020, the stock market dragged cryptocurrencies down to their Black Thursday bottom. Since then, however, soaring gold and silver prices have helped restore interest in Bitcoin and altcoins. These hard, digitally scarce assets are expected to perform similarly to precious metals due to similar supply attributes. Still, it also could cause a disastrous crash in crypto as a result.

Bitcoin is facing risks of a price correction towards $10,000, according to a TradingView analyst. He spotted the cryptocurrency trading near its weekly resistance level, noting that it may amount to profit-taking action among traders. Nevertheless, he also asserted that Bitcoin is in a bull market, adding that the price would likely bounce back from its $10,000-lows. Bitcoin’s efforts to log a breakout move above $12,000 may fail as selling sentiment grows near the said level. The benchmark cryptocurrency risks breaking lower after retesting the $12,000-mark, says a TradingView.com analyst

Bitcoin may hit $14,000 in the coming quarter. The analogy appears out of two extremely bullish calls made for the US dollar and Gold. Bitcoin has shown an extreme correlation with the two macro assets this year. Bitcoin may have some fuel left to continue its 2020’s run-up towards the $14,000-mark. The level–last approached in 2019 against the backdrop of an escalating US-China trade war and falling yuan– has fallen back into the radar of Bitcoin bulls. Only this time, the weakening US dollar has replaced its Chinese counterpart as

Sure, it was loosely correlated for a while there, but by now, bitcoin and the crypto markets are once again able to claim independence from the traditional markets. In short, and even though measuring correlation can be quite complex, I think this graph pretty much sums it up. What we’re seeing here is the 90-day Pearson correlation between bitcoin and the S&P 500 since 2011. We can clearly see earlier this year, where the correlation spiked up to 0.6 due to the multi-asset early-pandemic sell-off. By now, however, we’re once

Bitcoin pressed higher on Wednesday after finding reliable support at $10,500. The upside move appeared as the US dollar index broke below its classic trendline support that originated back in 2011. With greenback setting new downside targets based on technical parameters, Bitcoin could extend its gains further as it eyes a $14,000-retest. Bitcoin climbed higher during the Wednesday trading session as demand for alternative safe-havens remained stronger against an underperforming US dollar. The benchmark cryptocurrency rose 5 percent to close at $11,756.75 (data from Coinbase). Its gains followed a record

One of the drawbacks of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols today is that you need different platforms to perform specific functions instead of having them all in one place. And that’s the problem that Instadapp is trying to solve. Instadapp is a DeFi platform that provides users and developers with a single point of integration to access all the DeFi protocols. As we are in the early days of the decentralized web, Instadapp aims to be a window into multiple DeFi services — tools that make transactions of crypto assets easier.

DeFi protocol dYdX might seem like another trading and lending platform based on Ethereum, but that’ only the tip of the iceberg. Probing further, you’ll find out that this protocol is challenging the status quo to take Decentralized Finance to new heights. Margin trading, derivatives, and options are the relevant tools that power traders use. Unfortunately, in the crypto space, these tools are mostly available only on centralized exchanges like Binance, Huobi, and Kraken. With dYdX, the entire traditional trading spectacle is now built in a permissionless and decentralized mechanism. Table
