When the hard fork arrived–and participants had to choose which path to take–the entire cryptocurrency market dropped. This is very likely what caused bitcoin to drop from the $6,000 range to around the $3,000-$4,000 range. Which brings us to today, with the cryptocurrency bottoming out at less than 80% of what it was a year ago.
Dogecoin (DOGE) turned down from $0.29 on Nov. 8, indicating selling on rallies. The price has dipped back to the 20-day EMA ($0.26), which is an important support to keep an eye on.

According to reports on Tuesday 26 October, US regulators are looking for new ways and strategies for banks to hold crypto assets and address their current rise.
With IG, you can trade cryptocurrencies via a CFD account – derivative products that enable you speculate on whether your chosen cryptocurrency will rise or fall in value. Prices are quoted in traditional currencies such as the US dollar, and you never take ownership of the cryptocurrency itself.

Through crypto ETFs, investors can speculate on the future cost of cryptocurrencies without having to actually hold it themselves.
When Ethereum and Bitcoin crashed, these “discount plays” tanked. Now, as the mainstream plays begin to build momentum, these cryptos are struggling to get off the ground and make space for their own identities.
In the U.S., Binance has been the subject of an investigation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is probing whether the platform allowed users to trade derivatives, Bloomberg reported in March, citing sources familiar with the matter. The CFTC investigation is directed at Binance, even though Americans must use Binance.US instead. And in May, the Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service commenced money laundering investigations related to the company.
There are also individual withdrawal fees for moving your crypto holdings from your Binance.US account into your own crypto wallet. These fees vary based on the type of cryptocurrency.
Now, to be fair to the bitcoin bros (not great) and XRP army (worse), even the World Health Organisation had around that time started pushing the idea that Covid could be being spread by banknotes (while simultaneously recommending that people should not wear masks), now thought to be “very unlikely”. Even if banknotes were a key transmission vector, however, we are not sure that “dirty fiat” itself could be held responsible, given that the vast majority of it only exists in digital form. Why would you use bitcoin, or XRP, or any other crypto token when you can transact digitally using fiat currencies?
In 2016, this became apparent with the DAO hack. One way to fix the problem was to implement what’s known as a “hard fork,” which would essentially update the Ethereum-based software to fix the technical gaffe that caused the hack to begin with. But DAO users had to agree to this change, and there were dissenters. Though the hard fork was approved, it created two active blockchains with two different sets of rules. Ultimately, this hack–coupled with the inability to deal with it–caused the DAO to end in 2016.
This suggests that bulls have flipped the $1.24 level into support. This level could now act as a launchpad for the next leg of the up-move. The XRP/USDT pair could rally to the overhead resistance at $1.41 where the bears are expected to mount a stiff resistance.
Mining. The process of applying high amounts of computing power to solve complex equations that verify transactions in a virtual currency. Miners who solve the equations are awarded new units of the virtual currency.
Wallets used by cryptocurrency exchanges are somewhat vulnerable to hacking. For instance, Japan-based Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox shut down and declared bankruptcy a few years back after hackers systematically relieved it of more than $450 million in Bitcoin exchanged over its servers.
