The majority of NFTs exist within the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency that has the ability to support NFTs.
Earlier, we presented a chart indicating how Binance has gone from essentially a non-player in the U.S. crypto market a few quarters ago to now doing significant volume. With the recent hiring of Brian Brooks, who certainly has the connections to tap into the right areas, Binance.US could be set up for a very bright future.
.
Meanwhile, apart from regulatory attention, Binance is likely to get sued over a platform outage during a price crash on May 19. A Swiss crypto fund is financing litigation and a UK academic has made various allegations based on her research.
And that, we regret to inform you, has led to some rather silly thinking (highly unusual in the crypto community, we know), specifically of the chart-crime variety:
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 SHIB/USDT pair formed a Doji candlestick pattern on Nov. 9 that resolved to the downside on Nov. 10. If bears sustain the price below the 20-day EMA ($0.000053), the pair could drop to the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.000040 and then to the 50-day SMA ($0.000033).

(REUTERS) 1 min read . Updated: 21 Oct 2021, 09:54 PM IST Bloomberg The price of Bitcoin appeared to rapidly — and only temporarily — plunge about 87% on Binance’s U.S. exchange Thursday morning, sinking to as low as $8,200 from around $65,000. The price did nothing like that on other venues, and on Binance the level almost immediately snapped back to where it had been. The plunge occurred at 7:34 a.m. New York time, according to Binance’s website. Volume on the exchange in that minute was 592.8 Bitcoins, which are worth just shy of $40 million at current prevailing prices. Mistakes like this happen throughout finance when, for instance, traders mess up details of their intended trades, entering the wrong price or order size. An erroneously large trade, as one example, can overwhelm an exchange’s order book, leading to a quick and massive decline. The entire U.S. stock market famously flash crashed back in May 2010, though equities have mostly avoided trouble since that era. This is the latest in a string of recent high-profile trading problems in crypto. Synthetify, a new decentralized exchange, was forced to shut down for a while earlier this month shortly after its debut because of bad data provided by the Pyth Network, a price feed backed by some of the world’s most well-known trading and exchange firms. Pyth malfunctioned another time in September, erroneously making it appear that Bitcoin had crashed 90%.
The SafeMoon price is not joining in the broader market rally today and is down about 4%. Over a longer term view, however, SafeMoon is doing just fine. Since October, the SafeMoon price has rallied over 160%. The recent declines could be investors taking some profits off the table in a broader market that is trading at all-time highs.
Bitcoin wasn’t the only cryptocurrency to feel the initial effects, with most of the top 10 all experiencing dips in value.
A blockchain is a shared digital register of recorded data. For cryptocurrencies, this is the transaction history for every unit of the cryptocurrency, which shows how ownership has changed over time. Blockchain works by recording transactions in ‘blocks’, with new blocks added at the front of the chain.

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.
The cryptocurrencies prices are highly volatile compared with the traditional currency pairs and assets in the foreign exchange market due to fluctuations in the interest of the public. This factor is associated with the user and we must add the absence of current regulation and its constant pressure from governments. These factors make the volatility of the digital currencies constant, modifying the Cryptocurrencies Market Prices and affecting values of such cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Stellar Lumens, VeChain, Litecoin or Chainlink, among others.
Bitcoin–and the cryptocurrency industry as a whole–plunged this year, after a gravity-defying surge in recent years. The price of the digital coin hit nearly $20,000 late last year. And then in early 2018, it began to fall. Though it hit a few plateaus, the price has still tumbled; today it hovers at a little over $3,000.
