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:
Currently, the global crypto market cap stands at $2.94 trillion, an increase of 3.21%. Other cryptocurrencies were also trading in the green.

Such volatility in crypto markets is nothing new. With no formal structure and countless competing exchanges, trading in the digital currency is still akin to settling out in the old American West. Earlier this month, decentralized finance platform Synthetify was forced to halt all trading due to a bug in the platform that provides pricing data. The same software responsible for Synthetify’s troubles was also blamed for a September Bitcoin crash.

But to understand the dynamic that led to this year’s depressing year for crypto, we actually should start a few years before 2018. In bitcoin’s early days, Mt. Gox was the go-to service for handling transactions. Then, in 2014, it halted transactions and slowly copped to a crypto-hack to the tune of $473 million, the biggest hack of its kind at the time, and it gave many people pause. But it was still early enough for people to believe that the blockchain system was still getting all the technical kinks out.
The same goes for the Safemoon exchange compared to the competing exchanges. The number of products that the Safemoon ecosystem will host is less than that of competing parts. In the long run, less revenue will be generated on the Safemoon network, which means the rewards for token staking will be lower compared to platforms like Bitrise.
While still on the tokenomics, Safemoon does not offer investors better returns than competing companies like Bitrise. That's the reason why over the last few weeks, there has been a mass movement of Safemoon community members joining Bitrise. This includes Safemoon whales. One of the reasons for this movement is better ROI from Safemoon competing coins.
Early cryptocurrency proponents shared the goal of applying cutting-edge mathematical and computer science principles to solve what they perceived as practical and political shortcomings of “traditional” fiat currencies.
El Salvador's move to adopt Bitcoin is the first time Bitcoin has been adopted as a legal tender in a sovereign nation.
Despite its size and name recognition, Binance has had issues with regulators. In 2017, Binance left China and re-located to Japan and Taiwan before eventually moving to Malta. However, in February 2020, after Malta announced that Binance was not actually within its jurisdiction, the exchange quickly changed positions and declared that it doesn’t have a headquarters because Bitcoin doesn’t have a central headquarters.
According to DogeZilla’s white paper, it has a vault that verifies crypto launches.
Reported Volume calculates volume from all exchanges with market pairs, but due to factors such as wash trading, it is considered an unreliable metric.
Margin is usually expressed as a percentage of the full position. A trade on bitcoin (BTC), for instance, might require 15% of the total value of the position to be paid for it to be opened. So instead of depositing $5000, you’d only need to deposit $750.
“Everybody’s definition of a headquarters of a company is different. When you ask how you define a headquarters --- is that an office where people sit? I worked from home for the last three and a half years. Our leadership team are not sitting in one office, we don’t have a clear place where we can go, by most people’s normal definitions of a headquarters that we can call a headquarters. So, when people ask me, I don’t want to give them a wrong answer just to satisfy their definition.”

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.
