2024-04-19 11:03:06 URPD metric indicates a lack of liquidity for Bitcoin below $60,000

Bitcoin experienced a 4% rally on April 18, bouncing back from just below $60,000 on April 17. CryptoSlate has identified $58.8k as a major support level — which is the short-term holder realized price (STH RP) that has previously acted as support during bull runs. If Bitcoin drops below the support level, it could signal a bearish trend, similar to the breach of STH RP in May 2021 that kicked off the bear market.

2024-04-17 19:24:58 Bitcoin Staking Is Now Possible With Core Chain

Bitcoin-powered layer-one blockchain Core Chain is now letting investors stake their BTC—something that, historically, BTC holders haven’t been able to do. Staking tokens reward users with a percentage yield—often in the single digits—over a period of time. This has notoriously been exclusive to proof-of-stake blockchains.

2024-04-16 20:42:44 Current actions of bitcoin holders mirror December 2020, suggesting possible growth phase: Bitfinex analysts

Bitcoin miners are increasingly facing off against a new foe to contend with ahead of this week’s halving: the AI boom. Bitcoin miners are largely centralized operations that mint new digital coins.
