However, exchange pricing can still be extremely volatile. For example, Bitcoin’s U.S. dollar exchange rate fell by more than 50% in the wake of Mt. Gox’s collapse, then increased roughly tenfold during 2017 as cryptocurrency demand exploded.
“This is a legitimate technology–it’s going to expand,” he says, “My longer-term view is nowhere near where some of [my current] views are.” It could even perhaps hit $10,000 again, he says. But that will probably take a few years. For now, we wait and see.

In the case of cryptocurrencies, academia has barely scratched the surface with respect to identifying the determinants of their prices. For example, studies by Cheah and Fry (2015) and Corbet et al. (2018) claim that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and that its price has persistently exhibited ‘bubble-like’ behaviour. Makarov and Schoar (2018) find that the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple differ across exchanges for weeks. Outside of academia, the President of the United States recently tweeted that cryptocurrencies are based on “thin air”.1
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.
Last but not least, Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd (OTC: BRPHF) CEO Mike Novogratz also recently said he expects Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole to pull off another "parabolic move."
For those who invest in crypto for the long-term using a buy-and-hold strategy, swings like this are to be expected.

The recent trading frenzy over a digital token called Shiba Inu — commonly billed as a “meme” or joke coin — has vaulted the canine-themed cryptocurrency into the top ten most valuable digital assets by market value, hitting $40 billion and surpassing its cousin and apparent inspiration, Dogecoin.
Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that are not managed by the government or any central system but are built on blockchain technology. In the last decade, cryptocurrencies have gained traction, have become more popular, and are becoming more of an option for individuals and organizations to invest in.
Bitcoin hit another new all-time high above $68,000 Wednesday, two days after its previous all-time high when it went over $68,000 for the first time on Monday.
Cryptocurrencies use cryptographic protocols, or extremely complex code systems that encrypt sensitive data transfers, to secure their units of exchange.
The U.S. firm shares a name with Binance Holdings Ltd., the world’s biggest crypto exchange -- and Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance Holdings, is chairman of the board at Binance.US. Binance Holdings faces a U.S. Justice Department investigation into whether its platform has facilitated money laundering and tax evasion. Numerous countries have also announced probes and demanded that Binance curtail or amend operations within their borders.
The process of collecting cryptocurrency as a reward for solving complex functions and recording data to a blockchain is referred to as cryptocurrency mining.
Additionally, because there is no physical product or centralized organizing body, it is hard to point to anything and say “see, that good thing happened, crypto values will increase now”. So how does cryptocurrency gain value?
