Bitcoin’s volatility reflects significant price and market
capitalization fluctuations
Bitcoin (COIN:BTCUSD) once again exhibited its well-known market
instability, briefly reaching the $38,000 mark before retreating to
around $36,500. This movement was mirrored by its market
capitalization, which saw an increase from $715 billion to $740
billion before regressing to the initial level. It’s worth noting
the daily increase in market capitalization by 4.5%, jumping from
$697 billion to $729 billion, one of the most significant daily
percentage growths in Bitcoin’s history. The crypto market saw
liquidations exceeding $440 million in a 24-hour period, resulting
in a more than 5% drop in open interest. In this volatile scenario,
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) surpassed Binance in terms of
open interest.
JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) analysts express skepticism about Bitcoin’s
recent appreciation, considering it exaggerated given the
cryptocurrency’s fundamentals. The 30% rise in the past month,
driven by the expectation of a Bitcoin ETF in the US and legal
victories in the sector, is viewed with skepticism. The report
points out that the enthusiasm for the ETF and the legal defeats of
the SEC are not enough to sustain Bitcoin’s ascent. Furthermore,
they believe that the impact of the next Bitcoin halving is already
reflected in current prices.
BlackRock advances in the crypto asset market
BlackRock Advisors registered the creation of the iShares
Ethereum Trust entity on the website of the Delaware Department of
State’s Division of Corporations today. This suggests a possible
strengthening of the asset management giant’s interest in
cryptocurrencies. While BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) awaits the SEC’s
decision on its Bitcoin ETF, the price of Ether (COIN:ETHUSD) has
risen by 8% in the last 24 hours, surpassing the $2,000 mark. The
company also filed for a Bitcoin ETF in June, which influenced the
market. The SEC has not yet received the Ethereum Trust filing, but
similar moves preceded the Bitcoin ETF filing, indicating possible
imminent registration. Major trading companies are preparing to
support BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF if approved.
ARK Invest and 21Shares innovate with digital asset ETFs
ARK Invest, led by experienced investor Cathie Wood, has teamed
up with exchange-traded product provider 21Shares to create new
digital asset index funds (ETFs), aiming to diversify options for
investors in the crypto asset market. The companies will use
on-chain signals and industry expertise to offer long-term capital
appreciation through Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts. These
ETFs will be listed on CBOE and will not allow direct investment in
spot Bitcoin, focusing on indirect exposure and blockchain
technological growth. In other news, ARK Invest is intensifying its
investment strategy in Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD), a
cryptocurrency-friendly app. On November 8, ARK acquired 1.1
million shares of Robinhood, investing approximately $9.5 million
in just one day, according to a trading notification. The
investment was spread across three innovation ETFs managed by ARK,
with the ARK Innovation ETF (AMEX:ARKK) acquiring the majority.
This massive purchase follows consistent but smaller acquisitions
of Robinhood by ARK while simultaneously selling shares of the
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (USOTC:GBTC).
HT, GAMEE, and Netvrk tokens record significant gains
Huobi token (COIN:HTUSD), from the HTX exchange, saw a
significant 15% increase, reaching $2.75 in the last 24 hours, the
highest in five months, driven by rapid trading volume growth.
Breaking a 12-month downtrend, HT is resurging as signs of a
bullish market begin to appear in the crypto market. Despite the
rise, Justin Sun, HTX consultant, claimed to be unaware of the
reasons for the appreciation.
Smaller digital currencies are also gaining value. GAMEE tokens
(COIN:GMEEEUSD) surged over 13% in 24 hours and nearly 500% in the
past week. Netvrk (COIN: NTVRKUST), a token from a social virtual
reality platform, grew in the last 24 hours and 178% in the past
week. Despite these impressive jumps, there are considerable risks
due to volatility and security issues in their smart contracts.
Slowdown in Base with a decline in DeFi activities
Base, backed by Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), has experienced a
significant reduction in decentralized finance (DeFi) activities,
with the total locked value (TVL) falling by approximately 30% over
the last two months. Data from DeFillama indicates that the TVL on
the Ethereum layer2 network has plummeted to $284.59 million, a
steep decline from the peak of $411.5 million in September. Despite
a recovering market, investors have withdrawn more than $100
million from network protocol assets, contradicting initial
expectations of success following its launch in August.
