Market update: what risks remain with stablecoins – what trend is bitcoin showing?

 


Investors in the crypto markets have been suffering since the beginning of the year because the market has only known one direction so far. The crash of Terra caused additional distrust in Bitcoin, because for many market participants it is difficult to differentiate which crypto assets are exposed to the same risks as Terra due to the media treatment.


A justified distrust of stablecoins has led to a minor bank run in recent weeks, but USDT has digested it well. This shows that an important pillar of the market is particularly resilient, although further bad news could lead to the situation tipping over. This makes stablecoins a topic that investors should continue to monitor closely.


It will be particularly interesting here how quickly and in what form the supervisory authorities intervene. The Terra debacle should encourage them to regulate the market even more, and in such a situation there are always winners and losers.


Is Bitcoin's Macro Range Still Intact?

When Bitcoin fell back to $30,000 for the first time this year, it was brought up in different places. The so-called macro range has its bottom at $30,000 and the ceiling at $64,000 on the daily chart.


However, supporters of this theory must face the fact that a bottom with much stronger support could be formed in the summer of 2021. Because in the daily chart it can be seen from the pronounced wicks, among other things, that the "dip" was repeatedly bought up on the respective trading days. A situation that has recently been repeated, but not between $28,000 and $34,000.


Instead, it shows that there was similarly strong buying interest between $25,000 and $29,000 on May 12, 2022. Bitcoin has thus recently fallen out of the discussed range and the only hope that remains is that this is a temporary deviation. However, to confirm this thesis, BTC would need to return to the range and preferably establish itself above the $37,500 level. Otherwise there is a chance that it is only a short-term rebound that runs the risk of being sold off again immediately.


FOMC meetings will set the tone

Two meetings of the Fed's FOMC are scheduled for June and July. So far, many investors have shied away from the risk, and with each step-by-step increase in interest rates, prices have fallen a little more.


So it will have to be seen in mid-June whether Bitcoin is drifting south again or whether the market has become insensitive to further increases. Many market watchers have been targeting the top of the 2017 bull market for quite some time. Among them Arthur Hayes, who in his recent blog post confessed to wanting to buy Bitcoin at $20,000.


However, he also admitted that such a purchase order should be submitted with a quick prayer. Because the risks such as a renewed strengthening of the corona pandemic, an escalation of the war in Ukraine or a possible collapse of the supply chains in Asia do not create the necessary trust for many investors to afford an investment in cryptocurrencies.

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

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

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
