The blockchain space is seeing some areas of strength despite the perceived downturn in the market. The perpetual futures funding rates for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) have flipped back to positive on major exchanges, which shows bullish sentiment among derivatives traders. In addition, Bitcoin started trading below its cost basis, which has marked previous areas of market bottoms. In contrast, June saw decentralized finance (DeFi) experience a 33% decrease in total value locked and crypto stocks provide a -42.7% average month-over-month return. 

Bitcoin (BTC) and most major altcoins are witnessing profit-booking on July 25 as the bulls scale back their positions before the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on July 26 through July 27.

Ethereum researcher, Vivek Raman, is convinced that Ethereum’s (ETH) upcoming transition to a proof-of-stake system will enable it to take over Bitcoin’s (BTC) position as the most prominent cryptocurrency.

Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB). It will not be faulty to say that meme coins seem a volatile investment compared to Bitcoin or Ether. If 2021 has been any indicator of the rise of meme coins, then 2022 is predicted to bring an era of meme coins being used as transactions for services. Essentially, meme coins are cryptocurrencies inspired by jokes or memes as we so like to call them. The first meme coin was the Dogecoin, originally launched as a parody of the Shiba Inu dog. Now, the challenge lies in changing perception, or rather have something as amusing as a meme to be considered an amicable investment. Cryptocurrencies are influenced by community-driven investors and social media trends, and therefore, it is significant to have audiences understand the fundamentals of meme coins. One key characteristic of meme coins is their unlimited supply. As of today, the market notes a total supply of 1 quadrillion tokens for Shiba Inu, and over 100 billion tokens in circulation for DOGE (basically no maximum supply). Interestingly, one can buy an ample amount of meme coin tokens by investing just USD 1, which can explain their relatively low prices, and why they seem to be an affordable investment compared to other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin (BTC) found strength at $22,000 into July 24 with bulls still aiming for a solid green weekly close.
