Cardano community concerned over Robinhood and Celsius selling ADA

Image
Recent discourse in the Cardano community revolves around the potential significant liquidation of ADA by Robinhood and Celsius. In the Cardano ecosystem, a wave of concern is spreading over the possibility of a large-scale liquidation of the ADA token by Robinhood and Celsius. The reasons behind the decisions of these two platforms differ, but the specter of a considerable sell-off has triggered some alarm bells within the community. Opinions within the Cardano community are notably diverse. Some are of the view that such a large-scale disposal would not be a unique occurrence for the ADA, downplaying negative conjectures as manifestations of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. I don't think it's FUD. I am actually personally a bit concern ed because that is Ada currently frozen that will be released into the wild. Not too concern ed tho, just need to watch my CDPs don't get liquidated because they decide to dump in the middle of the night. — Rick McCracken DIGI (@Ri...

Bitcoin-Gold Correlation Dips to Negative: Bullish or Bearish?

Image
Bitcoin [BTC], the largest cryptocurrency, is frequently likened to gold due to its shared attributes of being sound money and a store of value. These characteristics, along with the limited supply of both assets, have garnered significant attention from investors. As a result, Bitcoin has earned the title “digital gold.” One aspect that has been closely observed is the correlation between Bitcoin and the precious metal. However, this perception is shifting as the correlation between Bitcoin and gold has been declining. Recent data provided by Into The Block indicated that Bitcoin’s correlation with gold has recently turned negative. This change followed a period when Bitcoin exhibited a multi-year high correlation with gold in April. Until last week, the correlation between the two assets had remained positive, but there has been a sudden decline in the same. Source It is important to mention that BTC’s correlation with tech stocks has also seen a decline. Dessislava Ianeva, research ...

Price analysis 6/26: SPX, DXY, BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, DOGE, SOL, LTC

Image
An onslaught of Bitcoin ETF applications could help BTC price find long-lasting support at the $30,000 level. The S&P 500 Index (SPX) snapped a five-week winning streak last week but it is still on track to close the first half of the year with stellar gains of nearly 13%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has done much better as it is up about 29%. Both these indices have been overtaken by Bitcoin (BTC) which has risen nearly 83% year-to-date. Bitcoin’s bullish price action and the recent rush by several firms to apply for a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund seem to have attracted institutional investors’ attention. Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted on June 26 that the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) — a Bitcoin futures fund — witnessed its largest weekly inflow in a year.

Stablecoin shakeup sees DAI flip BUSD

The crypto market stabilized Friday, buoyed by news of BlackRock’s entrance into the bitcoin ETF race and weakness in the US dollar. The percentage of stablecoins in the total crypto market capitalization has seen a sharp rise in the past two months, accelerating over recent weeks to its highest point since January 2022. In crypto, when most people refer to “the flippening,” it is, of course, a reference to the relative market cap of bitcoin and ether. But there was a stablecoin flippening Friday, as the market cap of DAI exceeded that of BUSD for the first time since February 2021. MakerDAO passed an executive proposal, Thursday, which included an increase to the DAI Savings Rate (DSR) from 1% to 3.49%. The new interest rate is tied to a base rate that incorporates three-month US Treasury bills as a reference. The change will also affect interest rates across lending markets for Maker’s home-grown version of Aave, Spark Protocol, which launched last month. The proposal furth...

Would Uniswap be better off on its own appchain?

The latest improvements to Uniswap, the largest decentralized crypto exchange by volume, are on their way, with draft code recently released for the community to scrutinize.  The V4 update will introduce a number of improvements, including “hooks” — smart contracts that interact and build on top of custom pools — and architectural efficiencies that should significantly reduce gas costs. So once V4 is settled, what’s coming up for Uniswap? On a recent Empire podcast (Spotify / Apple), Blockworks research analyst David Rodriguez says the next “obvious step” would be for Uniswap to operate its own app chain . Owning and operating “the entire stack,” as opposed to running on Ethereum, provides important advantages, Rodriguez says.  “Not only can you potentially monetize at every layer of the stack, but because you own that full stack, you’re actually able to have full customization of your application.” On an app chain like those offered in the Cosmos ecosystem, applications and ch...
