DeFi economic activity drops 15% in August —VanEck

According to an analysis from investment manager firm VanEck, exchange volume across DeFi protocols declined to $52.8 billion in August, 15.5% lower than in July.

The Total Value of assets Locked (TVL) in Solana has decreased from $10B all the way down to $250M now. Truly a fall from grace.

I do not intend to sprinkle more fear into Solana right now, especially as I am also a holder of it, but the rise and fall of Solana is truly one for the history books. Back in 2021 SOL was seen as the next big thing and was even realistically seen as an “ETH killer“.…

Is there anything wrong with buying BTC through Fidelity?

I have a small amount in various crypto on Coinbase and I’ll likely continue to use it for staking and alt coins. However, I like Fidelity and I’ve been debating buying some BTC there. I know you can’t pull your crypto out and NYKNYC, but it seems like the primary argument for that is the…

Glassnode Co-Founders Weigh In On Bitcoin (BTC) Path To $30,000

Bitcoin has had an eventful week, gaining by over 5% to trade above the $26,000 price. Even following the release of the US Consumer Price Index, which showed an inflation rise of 0.6%, the premier cryptocurrency remained resilient with little to no price drops. As BTC now hovers around the $26,500 price mark, market analysts and crypto enthusiasts continue to speculate on the token’s next movement.  Notably, co-founders of market intelligence platform Glassnode Jan Happel and Yan Allemann have plotted a possible path through which Bitcoin may return to $30,000 in the coming weeks.

According to the analysts, the Bitcoin Risk Index has now dipped into the 60s, indicating there is an ongoing shift to a positive sentiment around the asset. This means that more investors are beginning to view Bitcoin as a favorable investment. If these sentiments translate into buying pressure, Bitcoin could embark on an upward trend. However, the Glassnode co-founders predict the token will face significant resistance at $27,400 and $28,200, as traders could opt to take profit at these price levels. However, the analysts predict BTC will eventually overcome these barriers, pushing through to the $30,000 price mark, which they described as a “psychology barrier.”  The last time Bitcoin traded above $30,000 was back in July. Since then, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has seen its price decline by over 17% due to multiple events, most notably, the massive Bitcoin sell-off by aerospace company Space X.  Related Reading: Bye Bye Birdie: Binance Begins Process Of Axing BUSD Stablecoin Is A Bitcoin Rally Coming? In other news, data from Into The Block shows that Bitcoin’s transaction fees for this week were valued at $6.3 million, representing a 40% increase on the last week.  While a rise in transaction fees could represent network congestion, which is known to drive network users away, it could also mean there is a high level of adoption.  Furthermore, Into The Block also reported that Bitcoin recorded exchange inflows of $10 million and outflows of $70 million.  The high level of Bitcoin being moved off exchanges indicates rising investors’ interest in the cryptocurrency, which could also translate into a notable price gain. However, it is worth stating that these are only predictions and should not be counted as investment advice. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $$26,537 with a 0.33% loss in the last day based on data from CoinMarketCap. The token’s daily trading volume is also down 12.86% and valued at $11.25 billion.
