Bitcoin has turned bullish, but is it a dead cat bounce? If BTC bulls keep pace, LTC, OKB, BIT and FTM could see strong rallies. The cryptocurrency markets have made a strong comeback in the past few days. That drove the total crypto market capitalization to $995 billion on Jan. 14, according to CoinMarketCap data. Bitcoin led the recovery from the front, skyrocketing above $21,000 on Jan. 14. After the sharp rally, the big question is whether the recovery is a dead cat bounce that is a selling opportunity, or the start of a new uptrend. It is difficult to predict with certainty if a macro bottom has been made but the charts suggest that a bottoming process has begun. Independent market analyst HornHairs highlighted that the 2017 to 2018 bear market lasted for 364 days and that from 2021 to the current market low, the duration is again 364 days. Another interesting similarity is that the 2015 to 2017 bull market and the 2018 to 2021 bull phase both lasted for 1,064...

A small-cap altcoin project based on Ethereum is rising after Coinbase gave it a sudden boost. The crypto giant says that it will add Threshold (T) to its list of coins it plans to list. The announcement means that Coinbase may soon add the coin to its global exchange. Last year, Coinbase opened its listing roadmap to make it less probable that insiders will learn about future listings before they become public. T’s price rose from $0.0245 to $0.0507 immediately after the news. This is a 106% rise. The people who work on Threshold say they are building a set of crypto services. It will give users more control over their data on the blockchain. One of its first projects is a decentralized bridge that will let Bitcoin owners use the pegged asset tBTC to move their Bitcoin onto the Ethereum network. Coinbase says that it is also adding the decentralized music streaming service Audius (AUDIO) to its listing roadmap. After that news, the price of AU...

Shiba Inu’s growth is tied to several factors that can break or make its price in the indices. The factors include a circulating supply of 549 trillion, a market cap of $7.7 billion, and a set of burns that could take years to remove tokens from circulation. All these factors play a major role in deciding its price which includes deleting the next ‘zero’. However, SHIB could delete a ‘zero’ and reach $0.0001 if a specific set of criteria is met. For the uninitiated, Shiba Inu has not deleted a ‘zero’ in the last 16 months due to the above elements influencing its price. So how could it knock a ‘zero’ out and reach $0.0001 next?

Crypto exchanges must regain user trust by becoming more transparent and adopting measures to prevent fund misappropriation. The rapid collapse of FTX, once the world’s second-largest crypto exchange, followed by the collapse of Celsius, has undermined trust in centralized crypto services. The industry’s short history has shown that hacking attacks and fund misappropriation are the two leading causes behind centralized crypto exchanges (CEXs) crashing or losing clients. If FTX represents the worst example of fund misappropriation, Mt. Gox — a Japan-based crypto exchange that accounted for over 70% of all crypto transactions at its peak in 2014 — is the worst example of how a hacking attack can lead to failure. While CEXs have played a key role in crypto adoption, the ongoing trust crisis doesn’t bode well for the crypto industry. The fear of becoming the next victim of a CEX failure has prompted many investors to consider decentralized exchanges (DEXs). The DEX vs. CEX inflow ratio ...
