Welcome,
According to the majority of analysts, the correlation between crypto and other riskier assets seems to be the leading factor for last week’s market decline.
Bitcoin (BTC) erased three weeks of gains after plunging 8.4%, its biggest single-digit decline in two months, taking the whole crypto market down with it. Parallelly to this, the U.S. stock indexes kept falling, extending Friday’s downturn when all three major indexes finished the week in the red.
Fear of rising inflation is the largest contributor to the chain reaction according to a Bloomberg survey.
The total global market cap of crypto fell by $14B in the last seven days, with Solana being the biggest loser in the top ten list. The asset dropped by -20.62%, followed by Cardano and Ethereum, which lost -17.73% and -16.62% respectively.
Coinbase Preps for the Merge, Warns Users of Interruptions
Coinbase, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is preparing users for The Merge, the Ethereum network’s transition to proof-of-stake.
The exchange will temporarily halt ETH and ERC-20 token deposits and withdrawals as a precautionary measure during the merge, which is scheduled to take place on September 15th. During this time, Coinbase has assured its users that their assets will be safe and secure.
FTX Has Been Warned To Stop Misleading Customers
The FDIC has written to five cryptocurrency companies, demanding that they stop making false claims about deposit insurance.
The agency contacted FTX US, Cryptonews.com, Cryptosec.info, SmartAsset.com, and FDICCrypto.com. The regulator stated in a press release that these companies falsely represented that certain crypto-related products were FDIC-insured.
Canadian Crypto Exchanges Impose 30k CAD Annual Limit For Altcoins
Canadian crypto exchanges Newton and BitBuy have announced new rules, including a $30K CAD annual ‘buy limit’ for ‘restricted coins’ for their Ontario users.
Under these new changes, Ontario-based users will be subject to a CAD $30,000 “net buy limit” on all crypto coins, excluding Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ether (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC). Other changes include a ‘trading questionnaire’, in which users disclose details about their past crypto trading experience and risk tolerance to the exchange.
