While exact predictions are impossible, we asked five experts about what they’re paying attention to in the crypto space for the rest of 2021:

The day after April 20, a day celebrated by marijuana enthusiasts, the SafeMoon team hosted an AMA with two of its members who joined by live video from a crypto conference in Miami. Instead of just providing updates on the token, Thomas Smith, SafeMoon’s chief technical officer, wandered around the conference floor in an unfocused way to capture attendee shoutouts and show off a painted Porsche.

Despite those benefits, Binance.US is much less transparent than many competitor exchanges when it comes to security, storage options, and customer assistance. For most long-term, retirement-minded investors, we’d recommend sticking with exchanges such as Coinbase or Gemini, which are much more transparent about these key operations.

Bitcoin notches new all-time high after inflation data shows prices are surging at the fastest rate in 30 years
In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin peaked at a new record high price of $68,568.85 according to Coinbase.
Mainstream companies across industries have taken interest — and in some cases themselves invested in — cryptocurrency and blockchain in 2021. AMC, for example, recently announced it will be able to accept Bitcoin payments by the end of this year. Fintech companies like PayPal and Square are also betting on crypto by allowing users to buy on their platforms. Tesla continues to go back and forth on its acceptance of Bitcoin payments, though the company holds billions in crypto assets. Experts predict more and more of this buy-in.
The BraveNewCoin aggregated index is chosen as the source of data for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero. The BraveNewCoin aggregated index is not used for Litecoin as their index for Litecoin only starts in April 2014 and misses earlier price action. Instead, Litecoin data is retrieved from the BTC-E time series. It should be noted BTC-E has recently (25th July 2017) been shut down by US authorities, however this is after the data interval examined. It has been observed that price differences do exist between cryptocurrency exchanges [19], and it is expected the BTC-E price over time will be different to other exchanges, however with the possibility of exchange arbitrage, prices on different exchanges are reasonably similar.
Hank Wyatt, SafeMoon’s vice president of research and development, said in a Discord chat that the team will eventually “host an open beta” version before releasing the full application.
With its bullish structure now invalidated, those looking for long positions will need to eye support levels at $2.44 and $2.2. Should the crypto market remain bearish (with BTC having a probability of revisiting $60-62K), these levels are likely to come into play.
While much of the trust and reputation of both Binance and Binance.US depends on the support and functionality of the two platforms, customer support is not the only factor that may affect their reputation. One such factor is the number of outages that the platforms have had, something far more common in the rest of the world than in the U.S. and a particular issue in mainland Europe. On this basis, Binance.US (despite being the newer platform) has experienced far fewer problems recently, boosting its reputation in territories that can access it.
At IG, our markets for bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ether and litecoin are quoted against the US dollar. This is how you’ll usually see these cryptocurrencies quoted elsewhere, too.
A number of figures have significantly impacted the cryptocurrency industry throughout its time. Satoshi Nakamoto kickstarted the sector with the creation of Bitcoin (BTC). Known for building Ethereum (ETH), Vitalik Buterin has also notably impacted the cryptocurrency movement. With Ethereum came a whole world of extra tokens built on its network called ERC-20 tokens.
