Myriad Moves: Traders Bet on Zcash Rebound, But Aren't Buying Another Bitcoin All-Time High

The start of a new calendar year initially sent a jolt of optimism through the crypto markets as tokens rebounded, led by Bitcoin eclipsing $94,000 and Ethereum nearing $3,300 earlier this week. But the rally did not sustain its momentum and prices have since fallen—and in turn, predictors on Myriad have become more bearish on key crypto targets. Below, we’ll look at some of this week’s top prediction markets on Myriad, including those centered on a new BTC all-time high, ETH’s next stop, and wh...

Crypto Market Cools as Bitcoin Stays Within Death Cross: Analysis

That brief spike of hope in the crypto market? Probably gone. Bitcoin's trading around $90,600 after a quick trip above $93,000 earlier this week, and the broader crypto market's feeling the chill. The total market cap sits at $3.06 trillion—down about $35 billion, or 1.14%—and a quick scan of the top 100 coins shows 80% are underperforming today. So much for that New Year's resolution rally. The macro picture isn't exactly screaming "buy everything." Traditional markets are showing cracks. The...

Florida Lawmakers Renew Push to Launch State Bitcoin Reserve

Less than a year after Florida’s attempts at a state Bitcoin reserve faded, a new bill in the state seeks once more to establish a strategic crypto reserve. Filed on Tuesday, HB 1039 from Rep. John Snyder follows two withdrawn attempts—HB 487 and SB 550—that sought to allocate up to 10% of the state’s funds into Bitcoin last year. Unlike those bills, Snyder’s would see the creation of the fund exist outside the state treasury, with management placed in the hands of the state’s chief financial...

Bitcoin Dips to $92K as Liquidations Top $440M

Bitcoin’s run was cut short on Tuesday as a spike in selling pressure undid most of the new year's gains. Experts suggest the pullback is a short-term impediment to long-term recovery.
