Bitcoin has continued its downward trend and has now slid below $22,000, while the global cryptocurrency market cap is on the verge of falling below the $1 trillion mark. Most cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, have seen drops in the past few days.  These declines were triggered by the US-based Kraken crypto exchange's decision to discontinue its staking service and pay a $30 million penalty to the SEC for failing to register the business. As a result, the cryptocurrency market has been negatively impacted, leading to the loss of BTC. On a positive note, the optimistic remarks made by several notable figures about Bitcoin prices are seen as a key factor in preventing further losses for BTC. Pantera Capital CEO Dan Morehead, for instance, believes that despite some market pessimism, Bitcoin has already commenced its next bull market cycle. Meanwhile, Adam Back, the co-founder of Blockstream, is optimistic that Bitcoin (BTC) will rise in value to $1...

Solana remains in a long-term downtrend. Source: Trading View SOL, the cryptocurrency that powers the high-performance smart-contract-enabled Solana blockchain, has been edging lower in tandem with the broader cryptocurrency market on Monday and price predictions are becoming more pessimistic.

These mixed signals have added to confusion regarding how much further tightening to expect from the Fed in...

  Terra Luna Classic price pumped hard on Thursday and Friday this week following news that USTC was going to be repegged. The community has been seeking validation following the collapse of UST last May. Following the crash that nearly toppled the entire cryptocurrency market, sending crypto giants like Three Arrows Capital and Celsius Network out of business, the community voted in favor of creating a new token. This is how Terra Luna 2.0 (LUNA) was born, and still accommodates the majority of users in the ecosystem. However, some people stayed with the original token, which later came to be recognized as Terra Luna Classic (LUNC). Since then, the LUNC community has always felt like it needs to prove itself in the market. However, the chain appears to have the full support of Binance, the largest exchange in the market by daily trading volume. Binance has committed to helping the Terra Luna Classic community rebuild itself to its former glory. The exchange con...
