Why is LUNA up more than 4% today?



 The cryptocurrency market is having a mixed start to the week, but LUNA is outperforming the other leading coins.


The broader crypto market is seeing a mixed start to the week. The total market cap is up less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently over $1.7 trillion.


Bitcoin is up almost 2% so far today and it may soon target the $40,000 resistance level. However, the other major cryptocurrencies are currently underperforming.


LUNA, the native token of the Terra ecosystem, is the best performer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.


LUNA has increased in value by more than 4% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading above $83 per coin. The rally comes as UST, the Terra ecosystem stablecoin, overtook BUSD (Binance's stablecoin) for 10th place in the cryptocurrency market.


The rally can also be attributed to Celsius Network's recent launch of Terra's UST stablecoin . Celsius Network is one of the leading centralized finance companies currently operating in the crypto space.

The LUNA/USD 4-hour chart is bearish as LUNA has been underperforming for the past few days. However, the technical indicators show that LUNA's price action is improving.


The MACD line is still below the neutral zone, indicating that the recent bearish trend is still affecting LUNA's performance. The 14-day RSI from 49 shows that LUNA is no longer in the oversold territory.


If the positive development continues, LUNA could climb above the first major resistance level at $90.52 before the end of the day. However, it would need the support of the broader market to surpass the $95.31 resistance point.


If the bears regain control of the market, LUNA could plunge below $80 in the next few hours. Unless there is an extended downtrend, LUNA should remain comfortably above the USD 75 support level in the short-term.

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

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
