SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly has approved legislation making the cryptocurrency Bitcoin legal tender in the country, the first nation to do so, just days after President Nayib Bukele made the proposal at a Bitcoin conference.
Even though the current downside move is sure to shock some investors, slight corrections after reaching new all-time highs are a customary practice for Bitcoin.

Despite the new record high, Bitcoin is still a highly volatile and speculative investment. In fact, the last time the crypto saw a record high in mid-April, it abruptly lost over half of its value and plunged to around $30,000 by mid-July.
However, as scheduled, the Binance community should expect the Axie-listing today exactly at 8 am EST / 5 am PST. As we are all waiting for the event, users currently have the option to deposit their AXS in preparation for trading.
It’s certainly fascinating to watch Binance, which has historically been one of the most aggressive crypto companies, transition into a more regulatory-compliant business. At the same time, those who have been cautious, such as Coinbase, are beginning to add new assets.

The value of cryptocurrency is also driven by scarcity. This alludes to the cryptocurrency’s finite mechanism. The Bitcoin protocol sets the maximum amount of BTC that can be mined at 21 million. Therefore, as more people enter the crypto space, Bitcoin’s scarcity will inevitably increase, causing its price to increase. Some coins also use the burning mechanism to increase their value by destroying a portion of the supply.
"Over the past week, Ethereum scored another all-time high and Binance Coin traded strongly in the greens," it added. "Solana surpassed Tether and Cardano to be the fourth largest crypto."
LifestyleBitcoin price hits new record high - why is Bitcoin up today? Cryptocurrency prices of Bitcoin, ETH and Shiba InuBitcoin’s price hit another record high on Tuesday morning as the cryptocurrency’s value spiked to more than $68,000 - here’s the latest cryptocurrency news and prices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Shiba Inu coin, XRP, Cardano and more today
When Bitcoin’s price exploded in late 2017, so did the interest of the general public in cryptocurrencies. Internet searches for Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and crypto prices skyrocketed. Many people weren’t able to resist the fear of missing out on the massive gains the early adopters were experiencing as crypto prices rose quickly. When the inevitable correction came and crypto prices fell, those who bought towards the end of the bull run immediately saw the value of their holdings halved. Despair and anguish followed, but the enthusiasm of the crypto community hasn’t faltered.

The Bitrise platform has created incredible products that are exclusively available for their users. This high growth rate makes the token grow bullish, attracting communities worldwide, including Shiba Inu coins like Dogecoin and Safemoon community members.
Safemoon is one such smart contract-based token. It does not have its own blockchain; its supply is managed by a smart contract on Binance’s in-house blockchain.
