Shiba Inu Hops By 45% In A Week – What Could Have Pushed SHIB Up?

Shiba Inu (SHIB) may not have been taken seriously as a crypto asset when it was first introduced, but the meme coin has steadily climbed the cryptocurrency rankings. The newest signals of relief in the crypto markets following a protracted volatility may come as a surprise to many, but the most intriguing aspect of this rebound is that meme tokens have emerged as the largest gainers. In the previous week or two, the majority of other coins have been bleeding from losses or barely able to stay afloat because of the ongoing crypto winter.

Wednesday’s Coingecko stats show that SHIB is currently trading at $0.00000975, down 9.5% from the last 24 hours. Despite the profit-taking on Monday, the coin remained trading at the monthly highs near $0.00001196 on Tuesday. Nonetheless, it remains 85 percent below its all-time high of $0.00008, which was reached in October of last year. The dog-themed token briefly surpassed Tron as the 13th biggest cryptocurrency by market valuation. Even Bitcoin and Ethereum’s seven-day gains of 2% and 8%, respectively, were eclipsed by this rally. According to Yunometa’s founder, Arijit Mukherjee: “Shiba Inu appears to be benefiting from hints of bottom fishing and a larger mood comeback on the cryptocurrency market.” Yunometa noted that considering SHIB’s large social media presence and devoted fanbase, it’s not hard to understand why the coin’s price has risen in tandem with DOGE’s rally.

In addition, he agreed that a rapid rise in interest rates could lead to job cuts. The central bank’s more lenient position on interest rates looked to have a favorable effect on the equity and crypto markets. Meme coins outperformed the rest of the market following the Fed’s statement. Suggested Reading – Uniswap Slingshots 45% – Can UNI Blaze Past Its 7-Day Rally? Meanwhile, it is interesting to note that after rising as one of the leading meme-based cryptocurrencies over the past year, Shiba Inu’s prospects are deteriorating as a result of waning interest in the token as it continues to endure major price decline. According to data provided by Finbold, the popularity score for Google search queries including the keyword “Buy SHIB” dropped by 100 percent over the past year, from 8 in June 2021 to zero this month.

Rollups and L1L2 Interactions

I was wondering (and this might be a dumb question): how frequently do rollups (whether optimistic or zero-knowledge) post their data on L1 (Ethereum mainnet): is it whenever a "batch" is full (meaning, it has been optimized in the sense that as much txs as possible have been included in a given batch) ? Or…

A Comparison of Global Futures Trading Platforms Shows 5 Advantages of CoinEx Futures

In today’s market, plenty of trading platforms, including mainstream exchanges like Binance, Huobi, Bybit, and KuCoin, have introduced futures contracts. Huobi has extensive experience in futures and provides a wide range of linear/inverse contract markets. However, its market share has fallen sharply, and the platform’s user traffic is also going downhill. Bybit and Binance are both professional futures trading platforms that demand a high threshold. Bad news is that Bybit was chased out of the UK by FCA, while Binance has suffered several security breaches. Futures beginners should avoid professional-focused trading platforms with a high threshold. Instead, they should go with a platform like CoinEx that features a low threshold and simple operations. Today, we will look into the advantages of CoinEx Futures in 5 aspects. I. CoinEx Futures boasts simple, easy–to–use, convenient operations First of all, compared with professional-centered futures trading platforms like Binance and Bybit, CoinEx Futures offers simple, easy-to-use products. It aims to allow all crypto investors to trade futures with ease, moving futures trading out of the realm that’s exclusive to professional traders. With easy operations, convenient order placement, and clear position information, CoinEx users can trade futures through an extremely smooth process. Secondly, before starting to trade futures on CoinEx, users can quickly master the key takeaways through simulated operation tutorials provided by the platform, which helps them avoid the common booby traps in futures trading. In terms of functionality, CoinEx Futures provides all-inclusive, easy-to-use functions like TP & SL, Close All, and Futures Calculator, which helps users manage their positions with greater ease. II. CoinEx boasts a zero-accident record against its peers’ frequent security scandals In 2020, KuCoin suffered a serious hacking incident that incurred an asset loss of about $275 million. Apart from KuCoin, Binance, a top crypto exchange, has also been hacked several times. In 2019, over 7,000 bitcoins were stolen from the exchange. The frequent security breaches Binance has suffered jeopardize the bond of trust between this leading crypto exchange and its users in the long run. CoinEx, on the other hand, has suffered no security scandals in the 5 years since its inception, which indicates the strength of its security system. On CoinEx, all crypto assets are 100% reserved. The exchange does not misuse users’ assets for any reason whatsoever. Moreover, all withdrawals are 100% processed in time. CoinEx has also adopted multiple security strategies and established a well-rounded security system to fully protect its system and users’ assets. For example, the exchange regularly conducts penetration tests to promptly identify security loopholes and monitors any abnormal system changes in real-time. III. CoinEx boasts an all-encompassing product family that spans all crypto categories In addition to futures, CoinEx also provides many other products and services, including margin trading, AMM, mining, financial service, and CoinEx Dock. The exchange features trading sections for BTC, BCH, ETH, and stablecoins, over 500 first-rate, innovative cryptos, and nearly 1,000 trading markets. As an exchange under ViaBTC Group, CoinEx is backed by an all-inclusive ecosystem that brings together a mining pool, an exchange, a wallet, a public chain, and an institutional investor. Today, CoinEx has earned global user recognition with its fast, stable performance and smooth deposits/withdrawals. In the future, the exchange will continue to strive for a comprehensive, stable service ecosystem. IV. Backed by a tech background, CoinEx boasts years of crypto expertise According to its official introduction, CoinEx is backed by a founding team consisting of technical experts who boast rich experience in the security of systems, operations, and wallets. For instance, Haipo Yang, CoinEx’s founder, is a top-notch tech expert in the industry. During the early days, he launched ViaBTC Pool and completed all the coding. In addition, members of CoinEx’s core team all have a background in world-renowned companies that focus on the Internet or finance, including some of the earliest crypto practitioners and investors. The team has expertise in technology R&D and global operations. When it comes to technology, CoinEx independently built the world’s first 10,000-TPS trade matching engine that allows it to carry 10,000 transactions per second, running stably despite the concurrence of massive transactions. In addition, on CoinEx, deposits arrive as fast as five minutes, and small withdrawals are processed in real-time. CoinEx’s system remains steady and solid even when the trading volume surges during a bull market. V. Centering on user experiences, CoinEx keeps pushing for globalization While building a global presence, CoinEx has always prioritized product & service and user experiences. As the exchange explores international markets, it has remained committed to product development and the user-first principle. Right now, CoinEx is providing services in markets around the world 24/7. Available in 16 languages, the exchange continues to venture into new markets. It should be noted that CoinEx’s product design features an interactive experience that combines elements such as aesthetics, simplicity, smoothness, and practicality, which allows users to benefit from simple, elegant operations. This also shows that the CoinEx team has always been committed to product improvement, providing users with one-stop crypto trading services that are more satisfying and considerate. Overall, when choosing a suitable futures trading platform, apart from security, users should consider whether a platform’s products are easy to use and if its operations are convenient. In addition, they should also account for the products and services that are available on a platform to benefit from efficient, satisfying crypto trading experiences.
