    Crypto Market Update — NFTs, All Time High Coins, and Ruling Fear

    The broader market is consumed by fear and the threat of a possible recession along with crypto volatility has investors grappling. In the face of multiple bad news — read another rate hike, deepening US-China tension, and the biggest crypto wallets hack — crypto market started the new month on a low note and continued crashing down. However, Nancy Pelosi’s (U.S. House of Representatives Speaker) visit to Taiwan created some buzz. Ultimately, investors showed some optimism with a more risk-on approach. But caution still prevails as the larger market situation hasn’t improved at all.

    Well, whatever the market situation is, there’s always some kind of development taking place. Continue reading this article to get a better picture of what’s going on in the market — ups and down along with cool takeaways.

    Crypto Market – Highlights of the Week

    • Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at a price of $22,872.54 with a loss of 1.92% in the past 24 hours after a short bear market rally. This accumulates to the past week’s decline of 0.10%.
    • Ethereum (ETH) on the other hand has plunged by 0.19% in the past 24 hours and is now priced at $1,622.88. The past week’s gains are at 0.52% for the queen. Given the problems with its upcoming merge and key derivatives, the $1,600 ETH support seems to lack strength.
    • Victorian police in Australia under the new bill will be entitled to greater power for seizing crypto assets from criminals. The new bill is also expected to have crypto exchanges hand over necessary information for assisting police in criminal investigations.
    • The much-expected Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act bill was finally passed on Wednesday. The new bill includes BTC and ETH and confirms the growing consensus for CFTC regulation.
    • This week, the fourth largest hack in history took place draining nearly $200 million worth of crypto assets. The Nomad token bridge hack was reportedly due to a security vulnerability that Nomad ignored.
    • The recent hack of Solana-based wallets is deemed to be due to the Web3 wallet provider Slope. An investigation of the Solana ecosystem mayhem led to data pointing at Slope being responsible for the exploit.
    • Jeff Garzik, a Bitcoin pioneer announced the launch of NextCypher Productions, a Web3 production company. This company will tell stories from the intersection of Web3 and science fiction.

    Ruling Sentiment & Fear

    The global crypto market capitalization has continued plunging down with deteriorating economical and geopolitical conditions. Currently standing at $1.07 trillion with an increase of 1.63% in the past 24 hours, the global crypto market cap saw a brief fall to $1.00 trillion on Wednesday night. Atrocious hacking events in the market combined with the wider disarray have been responsible for fear in the market.

    Furthermore, the crypto fear & greed index has been quavering between extreme fear and fear only. The crypto fear & greed index combines various indicators of the overall crypto market sentiment into a single number — that is used to gauge the sentiment of the market. The smaller the number, the higher the fear, and vice versa.

    At the moment, the index stands at 30 with continued fear and a further decrease from yesterday’s value of 34. However, the fear sentiment is still better than last month’s prevalent extreme fear — with the figure reaching 19.

    Top Movers in the past 24 Hours

    Even at times when the market is bearish and the sentiment is down, there are still outliers making some upward streaks. Hence, even while the top cryptos like BTC and ETH are in the red, there are still some gainers that have defied the market sentiment. Let’s have a look at the top outliers in the past 24 hours:

    Buddy DAO (BDY)

    Aiming to be the first guarantor-based DeFi lending protocol, BDY is part of the mission to build a Decentral bank — to help anyone get a loan within seconds. Currently trading at a price of $0.044, it has shot up by a huge 236.59% in the past 24 hours. Its 24-hour trading volume also saw a nice uptick of nearly 185%.

    ZEON

    Claiming to be a decentralized platform for financial services, ZEON Network strives to offer instant access to cash without selling. Its wallet is an ETH and BTC wallet that is compatible with multiple software. Presently, ZEON is trading at $0.0115 and has added 144.58% in the past 24 hours.

    Saudi Shiba Inu (SAUDISHIB)

    As DeFi token on the Binance Smart Chain, this decentralized token has an NFT Platform as well as NFT collections to its name. It also has an auto-staking feature that serves well for its holders. In the past 24 hours, SAUDISHIB has gained a nice 132.59%, and its trading at a price of $0.00000000206 right now.

    ClinTex CTi (CTI)

    Another outlier in the past 24 hours has been CTI with gains of over 114.53%. The token is currently priced at $0.01393 and ranks 1279 on CoinMarketCap. Clinical Trails Intelligence (CTi) is a transformative blockchain platform designed for clinical trials — applying predictive analytics, machine learning, smart contracts, and blockchain tech.

    OnX Finance (ONX)

    And the final top gainer in our list is OnX Finance (ONX) — which surged up by 97.40% in the past 24 hours. The latest price of the token is $0.121. OnX is a DeFi Hub focused on building platforms and contracts — for swapping, lending, borrowing, yield farming, etc. It specializes in collateralized token products.

    All-Time High Coins

    While the market sentiment is anything but good, and the situation even further from better, some coins are still breaking high. Amidst the raging fear, there are a number of coins going for their all-time highs. Here are some of our top picks that just might end up presenting high-yield opportunities:

    Beau Cat (BUC) is a blockchain-based beauty platform that achieved its all-time high today at $120.02. The token is still hovering around the ATH with a gain of 0.44% in the past 24 hours. The platform provides information on beauty and related products based on user participation.

    Hop Protocol (HOP) is another token that hit its all-time high today. The ATH value of the HOP was $0.1935, however, it is currently down by 2.26% from its ATH at $1.1884. The 24-hour change in its value is positive 4.36%. Hop is a multichain bridge that connects Ethereum to Layer-2 networks — through which users can send tokens directly across networks in an instant.

    Hello Art (HTT), a metaverse for artists and fans also synced with the real world, also established a new all-time high today. It is currently down by 10.36% from its ATH of $0.03214, trading at $0.02888. Hello Art (HTT) makes sure to provide an experience that goes beyond the current limits of art.

    Last but not the least, XX Network (XX) also registered a new ATH in the past 24 hours shortly after it plunged to a new all-time low. Currently trading at $0.3686, XX is down by 5.50% from its ATH of $0.3801. XX network brings together a native scalable, quantum-ready layer 1 blockchain with the most private communications network out there. Its coins are traded on the MEXC exchange.

    NFTs: Developments

    With the boom of cryptocurrency in recent years, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) also gained traction — due to their irrevocable ownership nature. Numerous developments are continuously taking place in these cryptographic blockchain-based tokens. Let’s have a look at the trending developments in the NFTs market in the past week:

    • LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman launched a series of Solana-based NFT collections named “Untranslatable Words”. Created via DALL-E 2 AI software, the NFTs are being sold on Magic Eden — the largest Solana NFT marketplace.
    • To celebrate the 25th game anniversary of Final Fantasy VII, Square Enix has partnered with Enjin (software platform) to launch its first NFT project. Inspired by the video game, the NFT collection will be launched in 2023.

    • TrufflezNFT — a combined project of cannabis company Trufflez and web3 enabler dropLabs — is to launch the first-ever NFT membership cannabis consumption lounge in New York.

    NFTs to Watch

    While the crypto market has become extremely volatile and prices are taking a hit from all directions, the NFT segment still remains the most profitable one. Although NFT collections have also seen a decrease in price due to the ongoing frenzy, it is only another opportunity to capitalize on. Here are some of the top NFT collections to look into:

    CryptoPunks

    Launched in 2017, CryptoPunks is one of the originals and the very firsts, and rightly so. The fixed set of 10,000 items regained some traction this week thanks to Tiffany’s launch. The iconic jewelry brand came out with an exclusive offer of handcrafted custom CryptoPunk pendants for 30 ETH ($50,000) each. The NFT collection saw a huge uplift of over 2,200% in its trading volume following the launch announcement. The price per item of the collection has surged by 537.25% in the past 24 hours.

    Rare Apepe YC

    Rare Apepe YC is one of a kind collection. It is essentially a derivative of two of the top NFT collections in the market – Bored Apes YC and Rare Pepes – hence why it should be on the list of every crypto investor. The collection consists of 10k items, with the price having climbed up by more than 70% during the past twenty-four hours.

    Mirage Gallery Curated

    Mirage Gallery Curated has completely exploded during the day with a whopping gain of 400,000%.

Mirage Gallery’s popularity stems from its aim to take art beyond humanistic abilities through AI.

    Otherdeed for Otherside is another one of the top collections for this week. This NFT is an essential part of the metaverse of Otherside, making its value pegged to the Otherside. Through the NFT, users can acquire land in Otherside. The collection has 100k items and should be added to your list if you plan on delving into the metaverse of the Otherside.

    Mutant Ape Yacht Club

    Mutant Ape Yacht Club is of course one of the originals and rightfully deserves the place on our weekly list. The collection has had a daily gain of 45% in its value. The current hype may be linked to the recent announcement of Gucci accepting Bored Ape Yacht Club’s cryptocurrency.

  • A Quick Peak into the Cryptocurrency Market & Highlights of the Week

    A Quick Peak into the Cryptocurrency Market & Highlights of the Week

    The global cryptocurrency market has not stopped treading in the red as economies around the world continue to suffer. With a further 75-basis-point hike by the Fed looming overhead, investors have dived deeper into their protective shells. Thus, the plunge in all cryptocurrency prices has pushed the global crypto market cap to $965.97 billion. The global market cap registered a decline of 5.25% in the past 24 hours.

    However, despite the recent disruption, developments have continued as opportunities for growth in the market have upheld a flicker of hope. Let’s have a quick look at some of the top developments that occurred in the past week:

    Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at a price of $21.1K after losing 3.48% in the past 24 hours. The king of the market registered a loss of 4.21% in the past seven days. Moreover, despite a huge sell-off of 75% of its Bitcoin (BTC) totaling $963 million, Tesla still owns $222 million worth of digital assets.

    On the other hand, the queen of the market, Ethereum (ETH) is hovering around $1,425.14 with a drop of 6.33% in the past 24 hours. While Ethereum (ETH) has lost 7.17% in the past seven days, certain researchers are very optimistic regarding its upcoming transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) system. They even see a chance for Ethereum to take over Bitcoin (BTC).

    In the broader market, investors have entered into a frenzy over the upcoming Fed meeting. The upcoming two-day Federal Reserve meeting is expected to see a 75-basis-point rate hike. This increase in the benchmark interest rate would be the largest hike in almost three decades. Hence, it is only plausible for the plunge in cryptocurrencies.

    Unhappy with Bloomberg Businessweek, Binance CEO CZ sues for defamation in Hong Kong. The case involves three defamatory statements that were published earlier in July.

    Coinbase Global Inc. is facing a U.S. probe regarding improper digital assets trading. The U.S. SEC’s scrutiny over the matter has increased since the uptick in the number of tokens offered by Coinbase.

    Barclays Plc is to buy a stake in Copper, a cryptocurrency company that claims to have Philip Hammond (former Chancellor) among its advisors.

    Titanium Blockchain Infrastructure Services Inc. (TBIS)’s CEO pleaded guilty to a $21 million cryptocurrency fraud scheme. The said scheme involved TBIS’s initial coin offering (ICO) that lured investors to purchase its coin “BARs”.

    To stronghold its foothold in the cutthroat global crypto market, DIFX has partnered with Crypto Oasis. DIFX, the blockchain-based cross-asset trading platform has joined hands with Crypto Oasis as an Ecosystem Partner.

    Klaytn Lending Application (KLAP) which is the first-ever DeFi protocol on Klaytn (KLAY) blockchain, is launching its native crypto token.

    In short, like always the crypto world if full of many ups and downs with the good and bad all combined making the market twist and turn.

    The Fear Stays in the Market

    In order to find the sentiments and general mindset of the market, developers have created a tool known as Greed and Fear Index. This tool uses many different features such as volume, momentum, social media trends, and other things to rule the sentiments out of 100. When the index is closer to zero, it is fear in the market and when it is close to 100, it means there is greed in the market.

    Today, with the BTC dropping so hard, the index currently stands at the level of 34. Compared to the last week, this index is currently very good (It was at 18 last week and 9 in the last month). This means that the people are highly skeptical about taking positions in the market as they fear losing their investments.

  • Why is Optimism Trending?

    Why is Optimism Trending?

    A blog entry and what seems, by all accounts, to be an error from the crypto trade Coinbase, filled theories that Optimism, a subsequent layer scaling answer for Ethereum (ETH), could be going to send off its own local token.

    The hypotheses about whether the famous Ethereum scaling arrangement is sending off its own token began when the group behind Optimism distributed a blog entry that indicated that way.

    They’re approaching the finish of a part and the start of the following – one driven by community possession and administration,” the blog entry said, proposing an administration token for the convention could come.

    Furthermore, it’s quick and drawing closer. More on this soon, the post was added without explaining any further.

    Administration tokens are ordinarily given by blockchain conventions to offer their clients a potential chance to partake in the administration of the network.

    Additionally, theories increased after Coinbase recently distributed a page – which must be found through direct looks for it – with data about an Optimism token on its site.

    The page was distributed notwithstanding no such token existed at that point.

    Bits of gossip that a governance token for Optimism would be sent off have proactively circled locally for quite a while, with the famous Twitter client kamikaz ΞTH, on Tuesday this week offering to exchange guidance to his adherents for a forthcoming Optimism airdrop.

    On account of Optimism, it might actually disseminate tokens to clients of the organization’s DeFi conventions, as Polygon did during its liquidity mining program in mid-2021. In any case, numerous Optimism clients are rather expecting a symbolic airdrop to early clients, like how the Ethereum Name Service disseminated administration tokens to those who had bought ENS names before the symbolic send-off.

    A token launch has not been affirmed by Optimism, and no assertion has been put out by Coinbase to make sense of why the page was distributed.

    The organization offers clients unfathomably decreased gas charges while saving quite a bit of Ethereum mainnet’s security. Confidence presently has $590 million in all-out esteem locked across its DeFi conventions. While an Optimism token isn’t yet affirmed, current signs show an impending launch. Whether the tokens will be airdropped to early clients or circulated through a few different means is as yet muddled.

  • Lido Causing Damage to Ethereum (ETH)

    Lido Causing Damage to Ethereum (ETH)

    Lido Finance, an outsider-staked pool chairman for Ethereum (ETH) 2.0, is confronting a community reaction to what is being known as a “steadfast commitment to being an overwhelming plan of action,” which sources say imperils Ethereum’s status as a decentralized organization. Notwithstanding, the chairman professes to be dealing with an answer.

    The latest attack on the current staked pool was imparted on Twitter by Ryan Berckmans, an Ethereum monetary sponsor and notable local area part, who likewise expressed that Lido is hurting boundless and long-haul Ethereum.

    Berckmans’ Twitter string proceeded to say that Lido was made by notable crypto dealer Cobie (Jordan Fish), who he asserts couldn’t care less about Ethereum’s prosperity on a principal level since he “has been upheld by [crypto exchange] FTX since [solana (SOL), a contender of Ethereum] was in the single digits.”

    In spite of the fierce presumption of the show by a part of Ethereum’s partners, Lido has become notable among clients.

    The essential benefit of using assistance like Lido, otherwise called a staked pool, is that stakers don’t have to run their own center or set up the ETH 32 (USD 100,000) expected to stake clearly on Ethereum 2.0.

    Lido, the prevailing stamping pool today, at present controls around 86% of the Ethereum staked pool market.

    Leo Glisic, the coordinator behind the metaverse-like video conferencing stage Ozzo Events, made sense of the staked pool model, saying that checking rewards are for the most part split between center point executives, and the pool’s caretaker, and an agent token is given to stakers.

    Lido concedes that its technique isn’t ‘conservative.’

    With such a solid presence in the Ethereum space, it is maybe obvious that Lido is being faulted for adding to the association’s centralization of checking.

    Lido tended to the claims partially in a blog entry distributed last week, expressing that Lido permits clients to control their own noticeable ETH instead of putting it in custodial courses of action. It proceeded to say that it has 21 providers, each with under 2% of the absolute stamped ETH and that the objective is to additionally lessen the deal obliged by every provider.

    While these are uncommon accomplishments temporarily, they perceive that the continuous system for managing this validator set is impractical and ought to be improved,” Lido conceded in the post.

    It proceeded to say that the’s stage will likely make an answer that is totally permissionless and liberated from risk for the blockchain itself.

    The advantage of disseminating the token is that financial backers can then utilize it to get compensation somewhere else, especially at DeFi shows like Curve Finance (CRV).

  • Market Crosses $2T Mark. ADA leading

    Market Crosses $2T Mark. ADA leading

    A digital money rally has pushed the general market capitalization back above $2 trillion, a level is last seen recently before worldwide business sectors dove because of the continuous Ukraine struggle and more tight financial strategy in the West.

    Cardano’s ADA drove gains among majors, rising almost 7% as of now. Polkadot’s DOT expanded by 6.5 percent, while Ripple’s XRP and Solana’s SOL expanded by 5% each. Bitcoin moved above $43,000 at one point for the time being, however, has since dropped to $42,900 as of press time, still up 4% on the day.

    Bitcoin (BTC) keeps on confronting huge opposition close to the $44,500 level, having tumbled from that point multiple times this year.

    The bitcoin cost increment came as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell cautioned yesterday about rising expansion and recommended the US national bank will raise loan fees all the more forcefully.

    Ether draws nearer to Staking

    As “Kiln,” the last testnet before Ethereum is “merged” to a staking network, was conveyed last week, Ether (ETH) transcended $3,000 on Tuesday.

    Staking includes clients securing their tokens to approve network exchanges, and as recently detailed, Stakers have secured more than 10 million ether on the Eth 2.0 store contract. Locked ether really eliminates uninhibitedly exchanged ether from the open market while diminishing flowing stockpile, possibly going about as a cost impetus.

    He expressed that the decrease in discharges will be joined with the continuation of the Ethereum copy instrument presented with EIP-1559, which obliterates Ethereum connected with the base expense of every exchange on the organization.

    As per Hamilton, this will fundamentally adjust the supply elements of Ethereum, making absolute outflows become deflationary, probable going about as an impetus for potential gain cost energy during the final part of 2022.

  • Ethereum (ETH) update EIP-1559 burned 2M ETH

    Ethereum (ETH) update EIP-1559 burned 2M ETH

    The main smart contract organization, as per information from ultrasound.money, consumed 2 million ETH today. Since Ethereum’s London hardfork in August 2021, the absolute ETH supply has been under deflationary strain because of a charge-consuming proposition known as EIP-1559. EIP-1559, maybe Ethereum’s most well-known update to date, presented an instrument that consumes a piece of the gas expense with each Ethereum exchange. EIP-1559 was made to adjust Ethereum’s charge market in light of the fact that Ethereum gas expenses recently utilized a bartering framework, which made exchange costs erratic. EIP-1559 requires Ethereum clients to pay a base charge for exchanges known as the “base expense,” as well as a discretionary tip to diggers for their exchange to be handled quicker during times of high blockage. EIP-1559 likewise applies deflationary strain to ETH, lessening supply over the long run.

    As indicated by ultrasound.money, Ethereum is presently consuming somewhat in excess of 6 ETH each moment. A huge piece of that is consumed on OpenSea, the world’s biggest NFT commercial center. While Uniswap was beforehand the organization’s greatest clunker, a flood in the NFT market has brought about OpenSea taking the best position, with ETH moves coming in second in front of Uniswap exchanges.

    Ethereum Prepares for the Merge

    Following the London hardfork, Ethereum’s next significant convention update will be the hotly anticipated progress from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake agreement. The update, named “the consolidation,” will see the blockchain’s agreement layer (otherwise called the Beacon Chain) converge with the execution layer (Ethereum mainnet).

    The change to Proof-of-Stake is expected to be one of the significant features in blockchain history. Besides acquainting a key convention change with pay ETH stakers instead of diggers, Ethereum is relied upon to become 99.95% more energy proficient, which ought to be invited by both the crypto local area and the standard.

    Critically, when the consolidation happens, ETH emanations will be radically diminished. The ETH supply presently develops by around 4.5 percent each year to pay excavators, however, with Proof-of-Stake, the yearly outflow is relied upon to be nearer to 1%. Since EIP-1559 regularly consumes 6 ETH each moment, the pace of ETH consumed may bring the number given up in block prizes to validators. ETH would then turn into a deflationary resource.
