Why XRP, DeFi tokens crashed the most vs. BTC as Bitcoin price corrects

Joseph Young

 

As Bitcoin dropped below $18,000, major altcoins including XRP and DeFi tokens fell by 10% to 30%.

 

The price of several big-name alternative cryptocurrencies fell especially hard following a Bitcoin pullback to $17,650 on Dec. 9. Namely, XRP and top decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens YFI and AAVE dropped by as much as 10% to 20% in the past 18 hours, with Bitcoin (BTC) losing up to 7%.

 

The two main reasons behind the short-term correction of altcoins are likely the current high level of uncertainty among traders and low overall volume.

Bitcoin price at a crossroads: Bad news for alts

Altcoins often reflect the price trend of Bitcoin, with steeper price movements to both the upside and downside. As such, when BTC price moves up, altcoins tend to see even larger rallies.

 

For instance, Cointelegraph reported that XRP surged 91% in a single month when Bitcoin began to rally toward its all-time high on Nov. 23. The bullish market sentiment around BTC caused large-market-cap altcoins, including XRP and Stellar Lumens (XLM), to spike significantly.

 

However, when Bitcoin begins to pull back or there is uncertainty in the market, altcoins often see sharp corrections.

 

In the last 24 hours, as an example, Bitcoin dropped by around 7% from the day’s peak to the lowest point. In contrast, XRP plunged by 15% in the same period, recording a substantially larger price drop compared with BTC.

 

Altcoins see intense corrections because of their relatively lower volume. Bitcoin remains the most liquid cryptocurrency in the market by a large margin. On Binance, the BTC/USDT pair has a $1.5 billion daily volume as of Dec. 9. Ether (ETH) and XRP, in comparison, have daily trading volumes of $600 million and $433 million, respectively.

 

Hence, cryptocurrencies with lower volumes face way more downside risk in the short term when BTC is dropping.

Could altcoins begin to recover soon?

Altcoins could begin to recover in the near term if Bitcoin starts to rally convincingly. There are some signs that BTC could lead the altcoin market to a strong recovery in the near term.

 

Scott Melker, a cryptocurrency trader, said that the latest 4-hour Bitcoin candle had more buying volume than “any of the red candles on the way down.” If the aggressive dip-buying continues, the probability of an altcoin rally increases.

 

Another catalyst for an altcoin market recovery could be the ongoing short squeeze in the Bitcoin futures market.

 

Rafael Schultze-Kraft, chief technical officer at Glassnode, noted that daily long liquidations on Binance crossed $130 million. Consequently, the price fell, resulting in a long squeeze. He said:

“Think I might just start buying the dip when daily liquidations of long positions on #Binance cross $130 million. Seems like a viable strategy to accumulate $BTC at a discount.”

Considering that a major long squeeze caused BTC to drop, a short squeeze in the near future is possible, with $18,600 being a short-term resistance level.

 

Still, one concerning metric to consider in the near term for altcoins is the Bitcoin dominance index. After initially dipping in late November, the index has started to recover slightly, which may spell bad news for altcoins like XRP and XLM in the short term.

Most cryptocurrency users know that altcoins can have such close tie-ins with Bitcoin's volatile price movements most of the time. It should therefore come as no surprise that when Bitcoin undergoes a price correction, the DeFi tokens will follow suit as well.

 

And as the news above indicates, the DeFi tokens' corrections are displaying huge numbers in %. Some altcoins like XRP also suffers.

 

Buying DeFi tokens will be risky at this point. Well, the DeFi craze may have been already dying down now anyway, so unless something happens that will prove to hugely benefit DeFi, then investing too much on DeFi should be proceeded on with caution.

 

But still, the cryptocurrency market is indicating greed as of today, so we won't be seeing DeFi tokens suffering from a very, very steep drop at least for a few more days or weeks.

I agree DeFi tokens investment must be made with extra precautions even before now. But I can tell you DeFi craze is very far from over irrespective of how bitcoin behaves. 

Most DeFi tokens are ERC 20  based. ETH 2.0 will have a good say directly or indirectly on resurgence of DeFi craze and we all should be prepared.

I was expecting DeFi to make the full transition from being just a fad to being something that is treated seriously. Not something like yesterday's news that becomes forgotten. After looking at the price chart of some DeFi tokens like YFI, it looks like at least some DeFi tokens are on the road to becoming that.

 

And I was expecting something major to happen with the release of ETH 2.0 but "almost" nothing seems to have happened to its price chart. Maybe ETH is now in a situation with BTC just after halving where it takes a few months for a bullrun to arrive. And if ETH suddenly have a price change in the future, the DeFi tokens may be sure to follow.

DeFi is here to stay. The earlier we realises this, the better for investment opportunities. We can see some positives in solid DeFi projects like LINK for a perfect example. I believe that and we'll see as time goes on.

Just as important cryptocurrency events doesn't have immediate impacts, like the halving process of BTC, ETH 2.0 launching effect too on the whole market will follow suit and with time we'll see the use of it. 2021 will be a great year.

First, the BTC bullrun this year, and then the (possible) ETH bullrun next year. Both years will be great for crypto despite the overall economic gloom set upon by the coronavirus this year.

 

While waiting for that possible ETH event, DeFi projects and the tokens already established in the market should try to improve themselves in the meantime. DeFi is still very far from perfect, as an online report revealed. (topic about the report is in this link)

when many defi tokens came out they had high margins for growth in value including large profits for investors,after days or months some of tokens have had a considerable drop in price and also the high commissions for paying eth or trx transactions means that there are no large profit returns, even so the defi market is still profitable.

Weird to see, whenever pullback in price of Bitcoin occurs, sharp price drops for top altcoins including DeFi tokens can also be seen in the markets. Despite the craze to DeFi sector, price of DeFi tokens were seen decreasing when Bitcoin experiences some corrections probably due to their interconnection with Bitcoin and uncertainty about the future momentum.

Hii dear friend...The earlier we realises this, the better for investment opportunities. We can see some positives in solid DeFi projects like LINK for a perfect example. I believe that and we'll see as time goes on.

When DeFi platforms stop being a "crazed" short-time fad and start being a "seriously good" investment option, that would probably be the time when DeFi will have sufficient market presence that will not be so easily swayed by other coins especially BTC. Given an added year or so, by this year's end we may be able to see what already-established DeFi platforms would have accomplished. Until then, let's hope they can consistently deliver what they've been offering all this time.

Well, Bitcoin has always been (and probably still is) the representative of the whole cryptocurrency industry. IMO all the altcoins and tokens, DeFi included, ultimately are priced against Bitcoin, and if given a choice, a vast majority of crypto users would rather hodl BTC. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that when BTC price charts goes wild in a short period, the other coins are being 'forced' to dance to its tune as well, as crypto traders will try to sell their altcoin holdings to BTC to sell/trade at exchanges.

If not btc price  remain  stable for some time or decrease  down continuously  then there has no chance  for DeFi or for altcoin  to have a good pump.. Did you notice last few days alt movement  but suddenly  btc pump and the market  of altcoin crash down.. This is called real coin power.

Some altcoins and DeFi tokens really are hurting with BTC's current performance, and it looks like BTC will still look that way for this month as well. There are some tokens that are also performing well despite what has happened though, based on their charts during the last 7 days. Take a look at this.

I had only the top 10 displayed in the picture, you may see the rest of them in the link.

 

You can see over there which DeFi tokens' prices have fallen and which ones haven't much so.

Since DeFi protocol  get created  i am not interested  on their project  totally  because  sooner or later they will be like IEO or ICO..  By the way, its true recently  lot of altcoin  pumped significantly  and this are doge, UNI and now xrp coin Which  are unliveable  though  some people saying its a fake pump.

I think the main reason is Fomo, as if the btc makes correction or small pullback, People starts worrying more holding btc and alts the same. And reason of which we sa a sell prssure coming to the alts resulting the price to dump more than btc. Even small correction in btc makes all altcoins heavily dump.

Specially in the bull run, we see alot of example about it all the time. And as the btc is major dominant in crypto it makes the alt to move up and down respectively.

That's one thing. Another reason may be that traders may want to deal with buying BTC when it dumps, so they will sell their altcoins and DeFi tokens as extra funds so they can buy more BTC. Unwittingly, that would cause the other coins to drop as well.

DeFi tokens are very specific, cause there is thoushands of them and I also think, that they are causing high ETH transaction fees. Cause, when you want to farm some DeFi token you have to do something with that Dapp, like making a loan and then you will get some DeFi tokens.

ETH 2.0 was supposed to solve the high ETH gas fees problem. Haven't the effect still being felt yet?

 

And there is also the option of new DeFi projects using another platform other than Ethereum, like Tron. If you were to compare Ethereum and Tron, which transaction fee is higher? If Tron's is cheaper, the new projects might think of making developments over there instead.

Pair price strength does matter 😉. UNI/BTC, YFI/BTC, etc. DeFi token's pairs against Bitcoin are highly sensitive against the movement created by Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency markets. Most of the time, I have seen such pair price strength is directly proportional with the Bitcoin(By taking the constant factor😜). Take a look at the following chart, lol graph is exhibiting the downtrend as we have seen a sharp dump on Bitcoin yesterday.

    • Какую криптовалюту покупать в 2024 году? Начало 2024 года запомнилось активным ростом крипторынка. Во многом подъему способствовал спрос на биткоин — криптовалюте удалось обновить свои рекордные значения и на момент написания статьи достичь отметки в $71 тыс. за штуку. Несмотря на то, что монета все еще может серьезно откатиться в своей цене, биткоин традиционно считается надежной инвестицией. Более того, в конце апреля произойдет халвинг — встроенный в биткоин механизм, который срабатывает примерно раз в четыре года. Его суть заключается в сокращении вознаграждения за добычу новых биткоинов вдвое. В прошлом каждый халвинг сопровождался значительным ростом цен. Если волатильность биткоина вас отпугивает, стоит обратить внимание на проверенный временем Ethereum. Будучи основой крупнейшей криптовалютной экосистемы, токен давно зарекомендовал себя в качестве основной сети для развертывания децентрализованных приложений и смарт-контрактов.

    • Forex and Cryptocurrency Forecast for 22 – 26 April 2024 EUR/USD: A Pause After the Rally     Last week, 60% of analysts adopted a neutral stance in their previous forecast and were proven absolutely correct. EUR/USD had a calm week, even boring at times, moving along the 1.0650 mark within the narrow corridor of 1.0600-1.0690. Market participants were recuperating from the rally of the preceding days, with dollar bulls counting profits and bears licking their wounds. The American currency reached five-month highs against the euro, British pound, Australian, and New Zealand dollars, while USD/JPY once again set a 34-year price record, and the DXY index climbed to 106.42.   The macroeconomic data from the U.S., unmistakably inflationary in nature, started making an impact on March 8 with the employment report. NonFarm Payrolls exceeded expectations at 275K, compared to the previous 229K and the forecast of 198K, propelling the dollar upwards. Another boost came on April 10 with fresh U.S. inflation data showing a year-on-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase of 3.5%, the highest in six months, which quashed any expectations of a rate cut in June, sending the Dollar Index soaring.   Last week's macroeconomic figures only reinforced the image of a robust U.S. economy with a tight labour market. The number of unemployment benefit claims stayed at a relatively low level of 212K, and the manufacturing activity indicator hit its highest mark in two years. Retail sales data released on April 15 almost doubled the forecast at 0.4%, actually coming in at 0.7% month-on-month, following a 0.9% increase in February, with a year-on-year increase of 4.0%. These figures indicate that both manufacturers and consumers have well adapted to the high interest rates. Employment and income levels are sufficiently high, increasing the likelihood of price rises.   In this context, there is no reason for the Fed to start a cycle of monetary easing in June, especially since inflation is still far from the 2.0% target. Market participants are now expecting the first rate cut by 25 basis points in September, with another similar cut by the end of the year. These forecasts were confirmed by John Williams, the head of the New York Federal Reserve, who noted that the latest inflation data were disappointing and that there was no urgent need to cut interest rates. Consequently, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar are rising, while stock indices such as the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq are on the decline.   Attempts by EUR/USD bulls to initiate a rebound were halted on April 18 at the 1.0690 level after Francois Villeroy de Galhau, Vice-President of the ECB and head of the Bank of France, confirmed that the European regulator would likely cut rates in June if there were no significant surprises. Even hawkish figures like Robert Holzmann, head of Austria's central bank, agreed with these dovish forecasts.   The pair closed the five-day period at 1.0656. Fundamental indicators still favour the dollar, and although a correction northward for the pair cannot be ruled out, it is unlikely to be substantial or prolonged. For the immediate future, as of the evening of April 19, 80% of experts anticipate further strengthening of the dollar, with the remaining 20% expecting a bounce upwards. Among trend indicators on D1, 90% are red, and 10% are green. All oscillators are red, though 15% of them are in the oversold zone. The nearest support for the pair is found at 1.0600-1.0620, followed by 1.0560, 1.0495-1.0515, and 1.0450, down to 1.0375, 1.0255, 1.0130, and 1.0000. Resistance zones are at 1.0680-1.0695, 1.0725, 1.0795-1.0800, up to 1.0865, 1.0895-1.0925, 1.0965-1.0980, and 1.1015, reaching up to 1.1050 and 1.1100-1.1140.   The upcoming workweek can be termed a week of preliminary data. On Tuesday, April 23, preliminary business activity data (PMI) will be released for various sectors of the economy in Germany, the Eurozone, and the USA. On Thursday, April 25, preliminary U.S. GDP figures for Q1 2024 will be released. This will be followed by the usual data on initial unemployment claims and, on April 26, data on personal consumption expenditures in the country.   GBP/USD: CPI Disappoints BoE   Last week's macroeconomic statistics from the United Kingdom were less than favourable. Unemployment unexpectedly rose to 4.2% from a forecast of 4.0%. Claims for unemployment benefits surged from 4.1K to 10.9K, although this was notably below the market's expectation of 17.2K.   The bigger surprise came from the inflation indicators released on Wednesday, April 17. General inflation (CPI) decreased from 3.4% to 3.2% year-on-year, and core inflation dropped from 4.5% to 4.2%, against a market expectation of 4.1%. The monthly CPI remained steady at 0.6%. Unexpectedly high food prices and a sharp increase in housing costs at 3.8% month-on-month contributed to the inflation surprise. Volatile items such as books and video games also saw significant price rises; book prices experienced the largest monthly increase ever recorded at 4.9%, while video games prices increased by 2.3%.   "Overall, this is not what the Bank of England (BoE) would have wanted to see," analysts at TD Securities commented. BoE Governor Andrew Bailey quickly reassured the public, stating, "We are virtually at the same inflation level as in February and I expect the data next month to show a significant drop." He also mentioned that the oil price hike had not been as steep as expected, and the impact of the Middle East conflict was less than feared.   Indeed, the price rise in airline tickets, which are significantly influenced by fuel costs, was just 0.1% month-on-month. Given the early Easter this year, this increase seems quite mild. However, BoE Monetary Policy Committee member Megan Greene expressed concerns about how energy prices and other supply shocks might affect inflation expectations in the future.   Recall that a week earlier, Megan Greene, in her column in the Financial Times, stated that inflation risks in the United Kingdom remain much higher than in the USA, and that 'markets are mistaken in their predictions regarding rate cuts [for the pound].' 'Markets have come to believe that the Fed will not start lowering rates so soon. In my view,' she wrote at the time, 'rate cuts in the United Kingdom should also not be expected anytime soon.' Following such remarks, just as with the dollar, markets anticipate no more than two rate cuts from the Bank of England this year, each by 25 basis points.   Last week, GBP/USD opened at 1.2448 and closed at 1.2370, failing to breach the key 1.2500 level. Analysts are divided on the pair's future movement: 80% foresee a further decline, while 20% predict a rebound. All D1 trend indicators and oscillators point downwards, though a third are signalling oversold conditions. If the pair falls further, support lies at 1.2330, 1.2185-1.2210, 1.2110, 1.2035-1.2070, 1.1960, and 1.1840. In case of a rise, resistance will be encountered at 1.2425, 1.2515, 1.2575-1.2610, 1.2695-1.2710, 1.2755-1.2775, 1.2800-1.2820, and 1.2885-1.2900.   The upcoming week will see the release of preliminary business activity data (PMI) for the United Kingdom almost simultaneously with Germany and the Eurozone on Tuesday, April 23. No other significant economic data from the United Kingdom is expected this week.   USD/JPY: Higher and Higher...   Last week, USD/JPY once again reached a 34-year high, peaking at 154.78. This level was last seen in 1990. According to economists at the Singapore-based United Overseas Bank (UOB), the pricing dynamics continue to suggest further strengthening of the dollar. "The upside risks remain as long as the dollar stays above 153.75, our strong support level," they wrote. "Should the price break above 155.00, focus will shift to 155.50." Meanwhile, strategists from the Dutch Rabobank believe that reaching 155.00 could significantly increase the risk of currency interventions by the Japanese Ministry of Finance to protect the yen from further weakening. According to the results of a survey published by Reuters, nearly all respondents (91%) believe that Tokyo will intervene at some point to stop further weakening of the currency. Sixteen out of twenty-one economists expect interventions in the USD/JPY at the level of 155.00. The rest predict similar actions at levels of 156.00 (2 respondents), 157.00 (1), and 158.00 (2).   Strengthening the national currency could involve tightening monetary policy by the Bank of Japan (BoJ), whose next meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 26. At its last meeting on March 19, the Japanese regulator made an unprecedented move by raising the rate from -0.1% to +0.1%, the first increase in 17 years. Asahi Noguchi, a BoJ board member, indicated that any future rate increases would likely occur at a much slower pace compared to recent tightenings by other global central banks. He noted that it would take a significant amount of time for a positive rate cycle to become firmly established, making it uncertain whether there will be another rate increase this year.   A Reuters poll showed that no economists expect a rate hike by the BoJ before the end of June. However, 21 out of 61 respondents believe that rates could be raised in the third quarter, and 17 out of 55 anticipate a fourth-quarter hike. Of a smaller sample of 36 economists, 19% think a July hike is possible, but October is the most likely time for an increase, with approximately 36% expecting it. In contrast, 31% believe the BoJ might take action in 2025 or later.   The pair closed the week at 154.63. Rabobank experts currently see the dollar being supported by demand for safe assets amid escalating Middle East tensions. A de-escalation between Israel and Iran could help temper the rise of the American currency. The median forecast surprisingly aligns with predictions for the two previously mentioned pairs: 80% of analysts expect further weakening (downward movement for this pair indicates a strengthening dollar), while 20% anticipate a rebound. All D1 trend indicators and oscillators point upwards, with 50% in the overbought zone. The nearest support level is around 154.30, with further support at 153.90, 153.50, 152.75, 151.55-151.75, 150.80-151.15, 149.70-150.00, 148.40, 147.30-147.60, and 146.50. Identifying resistance levels remains challenging after the pair's recent peaks, with the nearest resistance at 154.75-155.00, followed by 156.25. Additional benchmarks include the June 1990 monthly high around 155.80 and the April 1990 turnaround peak at 160.30.   Besides the aforementioned BoJ meeting, consumer inflation data for the Tokyo area will also be published on Friday, April 26. No other major events regarding the Japanese economy are expected next week.   CRYPTOCURRENCIES: Will China's BTC-ETF Ignite the Market?   This analysis is prepared just hours before the 'hour X': the scheduled halving on Saturday, April 20. We will detail the market's reaction to this significant event next week. Meanwhile, let's focus on the events leading up to it. In the days leading up to the halving, the leading cryptocurrency did not bring joy to investors. Starting on April 8, the price of bitcoin was on a downward trajectory. The weekly decline in BTC was the largest in the past eight months, and in dollar terms, it was the steepest since the FTX exchange collapse in November 2022. Following bitcoin, other major altcoins also plummeted, losing about a third of their value. The local minimum for BTC/USD was recorded on April 17 at around $59,640. At that moment, analyst and co-founder of venture company CMCC Crest, Willy Woo, warned that if the price of bitcoin fell below the short-term holders' support level at $58,900, the market might enter a bear phase. However, this did not occur, and the price returned to around $62,000.   Analysts at CryptoQuant believe that the recent crash was necessary to reset unrealized trader profits to zero—a typical signal of a bottom in bull markets. Willy Woo suggested that "current bearish sentiments are actually a bullish sign," and that the next level where major short liquidations would occur is between $71,000 and $75,000. Renowned trader RektCapital reassured investors, stating that a price drop before the halving is a normal trend. "There is no need to panic, as this drop has occurred in all cycles. Don’t think that it’s different this time," he emphasized.   There were, however, other theories about the recent price drop. According to one, the fall in bitcoin was helped by the escalation of conflict in the Middle East and an attack by Iran on Israel. CEO of Galaxy Digital, Mike Novogratz, speculated that bitcoin could reach a new all-time high if the conflict in that region subsided. In this context, he urged world leaders to take control of the situation to prevent a further decline in prices for all financial assets, including cryptocurrency.   In contrast, Michael Saylor, president of MicroStrategy, believes that geopolitical tension will actually benefit bitcoin, suggesting that "chaos is good for bitcoin." Logically, this makes sense: cryptocurrency was born in response to the economic crisis of 2008, making it an alternative means of capital preservation during upheavals. (Note that MicroStrategy, with 205,000 BTC on its balance sheet, is the largest public holder of bitcoin and naturally interested in its price increase.)   OpenAI's ChatGPT did not overlook the international situation either. This Artificial Intelligence believes that if the crisis between Israel and Iran intensifies, the price of the main cryptocurrency will only slightly decrease, and this will be a short-term reaction. More severe impacts would likely be on assets like stocks. Bitcoin, however, is expected to quickly recover its position. ChatGPT, like Michael Saylor, anticipates that an initial drop will be followed by a bullish rally as investors look for a safe haven, potentially driving "digital gold" to a new historical high of $75,000. If the escalation in the Middle East becomes protracted and leads to a series of smaller conflicts, ChatGPT predicts the volatility range for bitcoin could expand: with an initial fall to $55,000 followed by a surge to $80,000.   It is worth noting that the discussed drop in BTC/USD occurred against the backdrop of a noticeable strengthening of the American currency. This was not only due to the dollar's role as a safe-haven asset amid geopolitical tension but also because of a postponement in market expectations regarding the timing of the Fed's easing of monetary policy. After the inflation data published on April 10, market participants decided that the first rate cut would not happen in June but in September, causing the Dollar Index (DXY) to surge sharply. Naturally, the strengthening of one asset in a currency pair led to the weakening of the other: the principle of leverage is irrefutable.   Now, a few words about what awaits the main cryptocurrency after the halving. This year, 75% of the investment influx has been provided by the newly launched spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. Their combined balance now totals $12.5 billion, with the U.S. accounting for over 95% of the global inflow into exchange-traded crypto funds. The interest in ETFs has been so strong that BlackRock's fund became the fastest-growing in history.   According to CryptoQuant analysts, the reserves of bitcoin on exchanges will last only a few months at the current rates. Total available exchange reserves have decreased by more than 800,000 BTC and have reached their lowest level in the history of two-year observations. As of April 16, they stand at about 2 million BTC. Assuming a daily influx into spot BTC-ETFs of about $500 million, which at current prices equates to approximately 8,025 coins, it would take just nine months to completely deplete these reserves.   The results of calculations using the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model, which demonstrates the relationship between an asset's usage and its reserves, show that after the halving, the bitcoin S2F coefficient will reach 112 points. This is nearly twice the S2F for gold (60 points), indicating that by January 2025, bitcoin will become a more scarce commodity than the most popular precious metal.   In such a scenario, another powerful new driver could emerge. Following the U.S., similar investment inflows into cryptocurrency could be provided by spot ETFs in China. According to insider information from Bloomberg, the SEC of Hong Kong could make a positive decision on launching such funds within the next few days. And perhaps the predictions by ARK Invest's CEO, Cathy Wood, and author Robert Kiyosaki, who expect the price of bitcoin to reach $2.3 million per coin by 2030, are not so far from the truth.   As of the evening of Friday, April 19, BTC/USD is trading around $64,150. The total market capitalization of the crypto market stands at $2.32 trillion, down from $2.44 trillion a week ago. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has dropped from 79 to 66 points, moving from the Extreme Greed zone to the Greed zone.   Finally, a bit of intriguing information for collectors. As it has been revealed, miners have begun active preparations for the "hunt" for the first "epic" satoshi to be mined after the current halving. Whoever mines it might receive a substantial sum, as the estimated value of this "collectible" digital coin could be several tens of millions of dollars. About two years ago, Casey Rodarmor, creator of the Ordinals protocol on the blockchain of the first cryptocurrency, developed a system for classifying the rarity of individual sats. With the launch of "inscriptions," it became possible to number and sell fractions of bitcoin similar to non-fungible tokens (NFTs).   Rodarmor's scale varies from the first "unusual" satoshi in each block to the "mythical" – the very first in the history of the blockchain. One of the highest degrees of rarity is the "epic" sat, mined in the first block after each halving. It is possible that collectors might value such an asset even at $50 million. (Remember that a satoshi is one hundred millionth of a bitcoin (0.00000001), and at the current BTC price, the price of a regular, non-collectible sat is just $0.00064).

    • Наступило еще одно сокращение награды биткойнов вдвое, четвертое на данный момент, и оно не было похоже ни на одно другое до него, причем институциональные инвестиции впервые сыграли ключевую роль. Уполовинивание биткойнов исторически было связано с одним существенным сходством — последующим скачком цены BTC , который часто происходит через некоторое время после халвинга. Хотя сообществу еще предстоит выяснить, пойдет ли четвертое халвинг по тому же пути, кое-что уже изменилось в халвинге Биткойна в 2024 году. База пользователей криптовалют выросла как минимум на 400% с момента сокращения вдвое в 2020 году Хотя скорость генерации новых биткойнов снизилась со времени первого халвинга, спрос не остался на месте. По данным различных источников , с момента предыдущего сокращения биткойнов вдвое, которое произошло в мае 2020 года , глобальная база пользователей криптовалюты увеличилась как минимум на 400 миллионов пользователей. По оценкам Кембриджского центра альтернативных финансов (CCAF), в 2020 году число владельцев криптовалют во всем мире составило около 100 миллионов пользователей . По оценкам криптобиржи Crypto.com, к концу 2023 года число пользователей криптовалюты в мире выросло до 580 миллионов человек . Глобальные пользователи криптовалюты с января 2023 г. по декабрь 2023 г. Источник. Крипто.com Несмотря на то, что Биткойн является крупнейшей в мире криптовалютой по рыночной капитализации и самой старой, у него, очевидно, меньше пользователей, чем у всей криптоэкосистемы. По данным Technopedia, по состоянию на 2024 год около 2,7% мирового населения будут владеть биткойнами, что составляет около 219 миллионов  человек. Если верить данным, то, согласно расчетам Crypto.com, эта цифра выросла примерно на 208% по сравнению с 71 миллионом пользователей Биткойна четыре года назад. В случае с Биткойном или большинством других криптовалют оценка большинства пользователей не может быть на 100% точной, поскольку анализ транзакций в блокчейне часто неспособен отличить долгосрочных держателей от потерянных BTC, а также других факторов. Ралли биткойнов перед сокращением вдвое в 2024 году еще не наблюдалось Одно из самых больших различий между четвертым сокращением биткойна и тремя предыдущими  заключается в том, что перед сокращением в 2024 году цена продемонстрировала необычайный рост. В предыдущих циклах цена Биткойна регистрировала снижения перед халвингом, а новые исторические максимумы были достигнуты примерно через год после даты сокращения награды ха блок. Например, биткойн не поднялся выше ранее установленного ATH в 20 000 долларов до халвинга в 2020 году. В этом цикле цена Биткойна превысила ATH только через 10 месяцев после сокращения вдвое. На этот раз картина совсем иная. В текущем цикле Биткойн достиг рекордного максимума прямо перед событием халвинга, установив рекорд в 73 600 долларов 13 марта 2024 года. Такого прорыва никогда раньше не наблюдалось, и с этим согласны многие аналитики, в том числе криптоаналитик eToro Саймон Питерс. На этот раз майнеры «лучше подготовлены» к халвингу Невиданное ранее повышение цен на биткойны перед сокращением вдвое потенциально оказало положительное влияние на майеинговую отрасль, поскольку майнеры получили больший контроль над затратами на добычу биткойна. «По сравнению с предыдущим сокращением вдвое, похоже, что майнеры в целом находятся в лучшей форме с точки зрения более низкого уровня долга и потенциально лучшего контроля над своими расходами, такими как электричество», — сказал директор по исследованиям Fidelity Digital Assets Крис Койпер, добавив: «Что также помогает майнерам в этом цикле, так это повышение цен перед  сокращением вдвое — то, чего также не наблюдалось в предыдущих циклах». С момента третьего сокращения вдвое в мае 2020 года потребление энергии при майнинге биткойнов значительно возросло, увеличившись примерно с 50 тераватт-часов (Twh) до 99 Twh 18 апреля 2024 года. Энергопотребление биткойнов. Источник: Дигикономист В то же время объем потребления энергии в сети Биткойн, основанной на возобновляемых источниках энергии, также увеличился: по данным Bitcoin ESG Forecast, на долю возобновляемых источников энергии приходилось 54,5% потребления майнинга BTC по состоянию на январь 2024 года. По данным CCAF, по состоянию на сентябрь 2020 года этот показатель составлял 39%. Первое сокращение биткойнов вдвое с помощью спотовых BTC ETF в США Одна из самых простых особенностей сокращения биткойнов в два раза в 2024  году заключается в том, что это сокращение вдвое станет первым в истории, когда биржевые фонды BTC (ETF) включены в Соединенные Штаты. После многих лет усилий спотовые биткойн-ETF дебютировали в январе 2024 года, открыв доступ к биткойнам для институциональных инвесторов.   По словам аналитика Bloomberg ETF Эрика Балчунаса, спотовые биткойн-ETF добились «ошеломляющего успеха», что, очевидно, отражает всплеск спроса на биткойн.

    • Представители Федерального бюро расследований предупреждают общественность о распространении программы-вымогателя Akira. Согласно заявлению ФБР , программа-вымогатель Akira Bitcoin ( BTC ) нанесла многомиллионные убытки различным компаниям и организациям в Северной Америке, Европе и Австралии. Вредоносное ПО получает доступ к инфраструктуре предприятия через VPN, получая доступ к программному обеспечению без многофакторной аутентификации. Затем Акира крадет конфиденциальные данные и важную информацию, блокируя доступ к системе. Далее на экране отображается сообщение с требованием выкупа. Хакеры используют биткойн в качестве способа оплаты.   В результате распространения программы-вымогателя неизвестные мошенники завладели более чем $42 млн, затронув более 250 компаний. Первоначально хакеры атаковали компьютерные системы на базе Windows, но позже следователи выявили и Linux-версию Akira. ФБР совместно с Агентством кибербезопасности и безопасности инфраструктуры (CISA), Европейским центром по киберпреступности Европола (EC3) и Национальным центром кибербезопасности Нидерландов (NCSC-NL) выпустило специальное предупреждение. Ранее ФБР опубликовало отчет о мошенничестве с инвестициями в криптовалюту. По данным агентства, в 2023 году этот показатель увеличился на 53% до $3,94 млрд. Как пояснили в ФБР, большая часть афер была связана с обещанием высоких прибылей от инвестиций в цифровые активы и составляет 86% всех потерь от инвестиционного мошенничества. В Соединенных Штатах.
