Another institutional hit for bitcoin–which probably had the most sustained effect–was the SEC’s refusal to approve a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This would be a path for more mainstream people in finance to dabble with blockchain; it would allow investors to dip their toes in bitcoin without owning the actual asset. Not only that, but it would make bitcoin available on the most prominent financial markets. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), however, has yet to allow such a fund to exist–mostly because it is unable to monitor crypto-transactions in order to avoid market manipulation.
SafeMoon recorded a 99% rise in one day in April after Bitcoin had its biggest single drop for months.
US cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc on Tuesday reported a nearly 30% fall in third-quarter trading volumes on a sequential basis, hit by lower volatility and declining prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
European cryptoplatform Currency.com reported a 93% fall in trading value for SHIB in the week to Monday 8 November and a 85% decrease in the number of Shiba Inu/USD traders on its platform.
Much like Dogecoin, it is cryptocurrency that was started off the back of an internet meme.
However, critics have noted that Ripple’s network and code are more susceptible to manipulation by sophisticated hackers and may not offer the same anonymity protections as Bitcoin-derived cryptocurrencies.
It’s always hard to know exactly what is driving crypto prices given the opacity of the market and a certain rather large player whose name rhymes with weather, but we think it’s probably partly related to the same market madness that drove GameStop to da moon, as well as to a desire for an alternative to central bank-issued money due to worries about the government overreach (by means of Covid restrictions), and also endorsements from chief executives at the likes of PayPal, Tesla and Twitter/Square.
Ethereum makes some noteworthy improvements to Bitcoin’s basic architecture. In particular, it utilizes “smart contracts” that enforce the performance of a given transaction, compel parties not to renege on their agreements, and contain mechanisms for refunds should one party violate the agreement.
SafeMoon is available at dirt cheap price and the coin remains to be low-hanging fruit for investors. Even for a mere $10, investors can get more than 2.5 million tokens. Investors need to make use of the dip and add in bags of tokens, for when the coin reaches a milestone, their investment can spike tenfold.
(Bloomberg) -- To investors hunting for the next Dogecoin, the more than 19,000% price gain that cryptocurrency SafeMoon posted in its early weeks was like catnip. Though the price of the four-month-old token has dropped since then, more than 2.4 million investors have bought it, according to its developers.

Fiat currency. A fiat currency — such as dollars, euros, pounds, or yen—is a trusted medium of exchange, or legal tender, that is issued by a recognized government or authority. U.S. dollars, for example, are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the United States government.
Numerous others have also made their mark on the industry, some of whom Cointelegraph lists in its top 100 people in crypto and blockchain for 2021.
Stellar Lumens presents a noble case for itself. The blockchain network wants to allow users to send money anywhere. This is very similar to the goal of XRP or ripple. Ripple is six times larger than Stellar and easier to use.
The token is listed on over 12 crypto exchanges and posted a 3% drop in price over the past 24 hours.
