Altcoins Explode - Is The Crypto Bull Market Coming Back?

 


Bitcoin and Ethereum recently had small price increases after the strong market correction. But in the slipstream of these large cryptocurrencies, numerous Altcoins exploded in value. Is this a sign that the bull market will soon pick up speed again for the major cryptocurrencies as well?

XRP, Terra, Avalanche: Altcoins pump

The last few weeks have been rather difficult for the crypto market. After Bitcoin rose to $ 68,000 in early November, we saw numerous price drops over the past 1.5 months. Bitcoin fell below $ 50,000. Ethereum also crashed from $ 4,800 to $ 3,800. Almost all other altcoins lost a lot of their value in these weeks.

But for a few days, we have been seeing numerous altcoins with strong increases. Avalanche and Terra started and have been increasing in value for about a week. But meanwhile, numerous other cryptocurrencies are also experiencing increases in the double-digit percentage range. Here are some examples of percentage increases over the past 7 days:

  •    XRP: +19%
  •    Terra: +59%
  •    Avalanche: +36%
  •    Polygon: +22%
  •    Hedera: +42%
  •    IOTA: +22%

What are the reasons for the increases in altcoins?

The increase in altcoins is by no means generalized. The above examples are the highest increases among the top 50 cryptocurrencies. Other coins either only rise with single-digit values ​​or tend to move sideways. Compared to the situation a week ago, however, we see a lot more green in the courses.

Many altcoins show increasing adoption and large institutional investments. Avalanche and Terra are examples of networks whose adoption is growing rapidly in the decentralized financial products and NFTs space. Others introduce new development steps. For example, IOTA recently started offering staking functions. 

Will the bull market continue now?

There is still some hope that the major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum will also gain some percentage points by the end of the year. Bitcoin could possibly move again in the direction of 60,000 dollars, the ether price possibly in the direction of 5,000 dollars.

The strong altcoins are definitely giving investors a positive signal for an imminent continuation of the bull market, which seems to have lengthened this cycle. The voices that speak of a bear market could thus become smaller again.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
