Mati Greenspan News

Bitcoin extended its rally from last week, rising above $27,000 for the first time since August. Other digital assets followed suit, with smaller tokens such as Solana, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash rallying. The largest digital token had ended positive on Sunday for the first week in five, and increased as much as 3.7% to $27,418 on Monday. Solana gained around 6%, Litecoin rose 6.5% and Bitcoin Cash jumped 8%. The price increases come with the Federal Reserve expected to keep borrowing rates steady when policy makers meet this week. Higher rates tend to reduce the allure of higher risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. “After a prolonged struggle at the psychological support of $25,000, Bitcoin managed to hold steady. Range traders will now be looking to take profits just above $30,000,” said Mati Greenspan, chief executive officer of Quantum Economics. Some analysts are questioning how long this latest rally will last and as reported previously the level investors are watching on Bitcoin is $28,800.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) are not in their “longest ever bear market” and probably are not even in a bear market at all, according to some industry observers.

Terra blockchain launched a new digital token to compensate investors burned by one of crypto’s biggest busts, the blows have kept coming. Luna 2.0, as the coin is known, emerged out of the ashes of crypto entrepreneur Do Kwon’s ecosystem, which collapsed after the TerraUSD algorithmic stablecoin at the center of it dropped from its dollar peg in early May. But any hopes of a quick recovery for investors who lost billions of dollars in the crash are fading, with the token losing more than half of its value in the past week alone, based on data from CoinGecko. Scrutiny from securities regulators in the US and police in South Korea is adding to the woes. The US Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating whether the marketing of TerraUSD violated federal investor-protection regulations, Bloomberg News reported Thursday. In Seoul, police are examining allegations that staff of Luna backer Terraform Labs embezzled Bitcoin holdings amassed to help defend TerraUSD’s peg to the dollar.
