(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%.

Currently, the global crypto market cap stands at $2.87 trillion, an increase of 4.70%. Other cryptocurrencies were also trading in the green.
Despite the concerning news and slight pullback in traditional markets, BTC and ETH prices rose, a dynamic that analysts such as Anthony Pompliano refer to as “asymmetric price action” where investors see a red hot stock market and unsustainable central bank monetary policymaking risk-on assets like Bitcoin as attractive investments and hedges against gold, the dollar and inflation.
In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has gained around 3 percent and is trading above $67,000. The crypto has added over 10 percent in the past week.

This is a stable coin, so it is pretty unique among other cryptocurrencies. Stable coins have the backing of fiat currencies such as the Euro or US dollar. This means that if an investor buys 1 Tether coin, they will have the same value of 1 fiat currency (backing the coin). Theoretically, what this means is that Tether will have a more stable value than other cryptocurrencies that suffer market volatility.
He added: "You’re simply reliant on someone further down the line being willing to pay more than you did to turn a profit, which is a risky bet indeed."
Support for users of both platforms definitely needs some improvement. Currently, the support provided by Binance beats that of Binance.US. With the restriction limiting U.S. users to this platform, many choose to shift their accounts to other crypto exchanges completely.
Safemoon protocol aims to create a self-regenerating automatic liquidity providing protocol that would pay out static rewards to holders and penalize sellers.
And cryptocurrency exchanges are somewhat vulnerable to hacking, representing the most common venue for digital currency theft by hackers and cybercriminals like those responsible for taking down Mt. Gox.
There has also been a big debate on Safemoon tokenomics. Most of the competing coins have more appealing and innovative tokenomics than Safemoon. Whereas the Bitrise coin has an automated buyback and burning process, Safemoon is burning manually. This means the regulation of the Safemoon token liquidity is less transparent.
“They basically walked around showing people with Lambos and talking crap,” said Cora Harrison, a YouTube personal finance influencer. “It was just really random and not what you wanted to see from somebody to invest money with.”
Wavelet coherence plots as above highlight areas in the time-frequency space where the two series co-move. The warmer the colour, the higher the coherence (which can be interpreted as correlation) at that location in the time-frequency space; the colours used in this work range from dark blue (0, no coherence) to yellow (1, strong coherence). Statistically significant areas of coherence are surrounded by a thick black line.
