Bitcoin’s Stubborn Streak Above $8,000
On this fine Tuesday, Bitcoin (BTC) is showing some spunk, hovering stubbornly above the $8,000 mark. After experiencing a rollercoaster of prices throughout the day, it has bounced around between $8,355 and a dip to $8,157. As of the latest updates, BTC is trading at approximately $8,205, marking a slight increase of 0.58%. Not too shabby for a digital currency with the attention span of a goldfish!
Ether’s Calm amid the Crypto Storm
Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) managed to tag along with a modest uptick of 1.26%, currently standing at around $179.4. It seems like Ether is playing it cool, staying comfortably around the $180 threshold without causing too much drama. Talk about keeping up appearances!
XRP Takes a Dip, But Not Out
In the land of altcoins, we have XRP feeling a bit blue with a 2.02% drop to $0.273. It may not be the belle of the ball today, but don’t let that fool you—XRP enjoys a sweet 7.73% growth over the week. Ripple’s head honcho, Brad Garlinghouse, has even thrown shade at Facebook’s ambitious Libra project, suggesting it’s unlikely to see the light of day before 2023.
The Mixed Bag of the Top 20
While Bitcoin and Ether bask in their respective glories, the rest of the top 20 digital currencies are in a bit of a mixed bag dilemma. Notable mentions that have picked up momentum include:
- Cosmos (ATOM) gaining a sprightly 7.05%
- Tron (TRX) nudging up by 3.04%
- Dash (DASH) with a welcoming increase of 2.87%
Looks like these characters might be pipped to the post in the race to woo investors!
What’s Happening in the Crypto World?
Aprint to the latest developments shows that Anchor Labs has become the first custodian approved to support institutional custody for Telegram’s Gram (GRM) token. Investors can now get in on the action, snatching up existing Grams from the market alongside new tokens from the Telegram Open Network (TON) Reserve.
On another front, EOS developer Block.one has unveiled version 2.0 of its EOSIO protocol, which does a neat job of hosting decentralized apps. Meanwhile, the European Union is stepping up to the plate, with finance commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis promising to propose regulations on cryptocurrencies, taking aim directly at entities like Facebook’s Libra. It looks like adulting is now the name of the game in the crypto playground!
