But wait! Don’t hurl your laptop out the window just yet (mostly because you can’t afford a new one after this crypto crash). Some analysts are still weirdly optimistic that ADA might pull its socks up and rally soon, and a few key indicators are apparently backing up the “this isn’t a total disaster” theory. I know, I’m as shocked as you are.
The company’s total treasury now sits at a paltry 4,467 BTC following the most recent sale-a sum that would have been impressive five years ago, but now reads like the tragic account balance of a man who bet his entire inheritance on a roulette wheel and lost.
The opening price, though humble, soon gave way to a most entertaining dance of highs and lows, as if the market were a ball and Ethereum its most sought-after partner. This turn of events has set the tongues of market participants wagging, each speculating on the next grand destination as exchange supply reaches its nadir.
Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, has challenged statements made by JPMorgan Chase’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, suggesting Dimon is inaccurately portraying the CLARITY Act, a proposed law for digital assets. This criticism comes as lawmakers are urged to pass the legislation before their August break, with limited time remaining on the legislative calendar.
Just in: A new Bitcoin ETF called ‘Hedged Bitcoin’ has been filed, according to Eric Seyffart. The filing indicates the fund will invest in existing Bitcoin ETFs and use options to lower risk and volatility.
After recent developments on June 11th, Fortune magazine now lists Solana among the top three blockchain and protocol-based cryptocurrencies.
The daily chart shows XRP promenading inside a long-term descending channel, with the price recently tipping below the lower boundary of a multi-month consolidation range-a veritable pratfall for a gentleman of means. The recent selloff pushed XRP into the highlighted support region around $1.08-$1.20, where buyers managed to generate a reaction. However, the recovery has been as tepid as a teacup left to cool, indicating that demand remains as frugal as a famine at the club. As long as the asset stays beneath the former support zone around $1.70-$1.85, any upside movement is likely to be viewed as a corrective bounce rather than a proper reversal of the trend.
Across the wide earth, as if the empire of the internet were a tulmultuous empire with no halls big enough to contain it, law enforcers of many nations joined hands in a grand confiscation of the scaffolding by which a certain service had moved ill-gotten wealth. The underlying infrastructure of a great cryptocurrency laundering operation was dismantled; a web of deceit, which in its cunning had learned to hide in the glow of digital ledgers, was shown to the world’s gaze. The takedown promised to disrupt the flows of ill-gotten coin and to hinder the spread of millions that might otherwise have sopped into the pockets of men who forget that fortune can be a test and not a license to sin.
The broader cryptocurrency market roused itself for a faint, unconvincing rebound Wednesday, after U.S. inflation numbers came in exactly as every economist with a spreadsheet had predicted. The consensus now holds that the Federal Reserve will almost certainly leave interest rates untouched at its June 17 meeting, though most expect it to raise them before the year is out-because why should this year be any different from the last ten, after all?
Citigroup is rolling out a new way for the already-rich and giant institutions to buy stakes in fast-growing private companies, slapping a blockchain sticker on the process as part of the broader effort by all the big Wall Street players to drag traditional financial assets onto digital asset networks, where they can continue to extract their cut with a fresh coat of paint and a bunch of meaningless buzzwords.
