What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is currently consolidating around the $68,000 level following recent liquidations. Investors and traders are closely watching the Federal Reserve’s upcoming press conference and the release of CPI data, both scheduled for tomorrow. Bears are attempting to push the price below $68,000, but bulls may also engage in strong buying at this level. The next support level for BTC is at $67,400, while resistance is at $68,600.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Head of Investments, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “BTC failed to breach the all time highs, and fell by 2%. This shows that the market sentiment in the near short term. An analysis however from 2011 prices till now shows that BTC has in fact given a 104% CAGR beating both the US Stock Market and Warren Buffett’s portfolio in returns. The broader altcoin market is displaying a downward trend. The recently launched memecoin NOT suffered the most with it being 14% down as people booked profits out of the TON’s top memecoin. Another famous memecoin, PEPE was down 9% as well with 24 hr overall crypto market liquidations reaching more than 150 million dollars as per the data from coinglass.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) is facing intense pressure, dragging altcoins to new lows. Currently priced at $68,197, BTC has dropped 2.21% in the last 24 hours. The struggle to surpass all-time highs is linked to a slowdown in stablecoin minting post-halving. However, a head-and-shoulders formation in BTC could soon break the resistance line, potentially pushing its price toward $83,000 in the near term.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “The end of the US-Saudi petrodollar agreement on June 9, 2024 marks a significant shift in global financial dynamics that Bitcoin may benefit from. As Saudi Arabia explores alternatives such as the Chinese RMB, euros and digital currencies, the move could reduce reliance on the US dollar and boost inflation. Bitcoin, with its fixed supply and decentralized nature, may become the preferred hedge against inflation. As traditional fiat currencies devalue, Bitcoin’s attractiveness as an investment could increase, leading to long-term appreciation. Trading at $69,600 with resistance at $70,100, Bitcoin futures look bullish if it stays above the $69,100 pivot point.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The Bitcoin-led investment activity added over $1.97 billion in inflows while Ethereum witnessed its best performance since March by adding almost $70 million in inflows as per the data from Coinshares. The recent dip in prices has sparked buying activity mainly from institutional investors as digital asset prepares for their next bull run. The regulatory developments and positive macroeconomic factors may lead to greater momentum in the second half of 2024.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “In the last 24 hours, the crypto market continued to slide down. BTC touched $68,000 while ETH dipped below $3,600. Altcoins also saw significant drops. This week will be important and highly volatile for the crypto market due to the upcoming FOMC meetings and U.S. CPI and PPI announcements. Technically, the trend is bearish in the lower time frame, but in the higher time frame, it remains bullish.”

Rumors are swirling about Venezuela holding $60 billion in Bitcoin—but crypto experts are skeptical | Fortune

Rumors are swirling about Venezuela holding  billion in Bitcoin—but crypto experts are skeptical | Fortune

Following the United States’ capture of Nicolás Maduro over the weekend, a report came out claiming that Venezuela had $60 billion stored in Bitcoin—leading to speculation that the U.S. could lay claim to cryptocurrency as well as oil. Despite numerous reports of the huge Venezuelan Bitcoin stash, however, a crypto forensic firm is skeptical of the claims. 

The news of Venezuela’s Bitcoin holding began to bubble up last Saturday, the same day that Maduro was ousted. The digital publication Project Brazen reported that his regime could control $60 billion in the original cryptocurrency—but offered little in the way of proof.

“The article does not mention any addresses as a starting point, making it difficult to verify any of these speculated claims,” said Aurelie Barthere, principal research analyst at Nansen, about Project Brazen’s report. 

Barthere is not the first person to express skepticism about the country’s purported crypto treasure trove. Mauricio di Bartolomeo, the Venezuelan co-founder of the financial services company Ledn, told Fortune on Wednesday that the level of the country’s corruption makes the figure hard to believe. He expanded his argument in an opinion piece he wrote for Coindesk. 

Estimates of Venezuela’s crypto holdings vary wildly. Bitcointreasuries.net estimates that the country has $22 million worth of Bitcoin. That figure would make Venezuela the government entity with the ninth-most money tied up in the original cryptocurrency, just behind North Korea.

While the exact size of Venezuela’s Bitcoin wealth is unclear, the country has long been a player in crypto. Maduro introduced a token called the Petro in 2018, which was shuttered six years later. Its citizens have also turned to stablecoins as a way to fight their currency’s hyperinflation.

Trump has said that he will “run” Venezuela, and some have speculated that includes seizing the country’s Bitcoin holdings. Andrew Fierman, head of national security intelligence at Chainalysis, said he could not speak to the likelihood of such a seizure. He did, however, explain what gaining control of assets might look like. 

A freezing of assets could occur through centralized services, he says. These services would get a court order for an exchange or an issuer like Tether or Circle who could blacklist an address. The second method is through physical seizure. The U.S. could get control of wallets, devices, and keys through compelled cooperation. 

For now, there is unlikely to be a full and accurate account of Venezuela’s Bitcoin holdings until the political situation in the country becomes more stable.
