The multifaceted use cases and applications of nonfungible tokens continue to be a source of strength for the NFT sector as a whole, primarily because they open the door for different sources of revenue via gameplay, music and art sales. Audius pulls in …

Bids for SNX/USD achieved an intraday high of $13.76 during the Asia-Pacific trading session, following an approximately 25% price rally that started Sunday.

Last week, Axie Infinity’s AXS token went on an impressive parabolic run and hit a new all-time high at $19.60. Small Love Potion (SLP), a token in the Axie Infinity ecosystem that is minted through gameplay as a reward to users, also broke out with a triple-digit gain.

The concerns voiced about the consensus mechanisms of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have played a part in the sideways price action both assets have seen over the past two months, opening the door for other competing projects to gain attention. One project that managed to overcome the sideways action in the market and rally to a new record high on July 10 is Constellation (DAG), a protocol that utilizes a directed acyclic graph architecture to achieve a consensus that is theoretically capable of infinite scaling. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the price of DAG rallied …

Axie Infinity (AXS) has had a rough week: On July 1, it was trading at just above $5. One week later and following two consecutive two-day rallies, the price was charging past $19. AXS price has since dropped between $18 and $19, yet the coin’s weekly stats are still outstanding: 118% against United States dollar and 119% against Bitcoin (BTC) in a week. As AXS sits on top of the seven-day price change chart, many traders are wishing that they could have known earlier in the week that the asset was ready to explode. While it is impossible to see …

FLOW prices slipped on Thursday as traders unwind their bullish bets from the lately bullish digital assets. The FLOW/USDT exchange rate lost up to 15.22% New York morning, a sharp reversal from Wednesday when the pair closed at a one-month high of $16.99 following a 43.87% rally.

For instance, Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency that typically influences its digital asset rivals, plunged more than …

Altcoins continue to move higher while the price of Bitcoin (BTC) remains trapped in the $31,000 to $36,000 price range. The predictable range appears to be helping Terra (LUNA), a blockchain protocol that specializes in fiat-pegged stablecoins like TerraUSD (UST) to power a price-stable global payment system. A quick scroll through the project’s Twitter feed indicates that the team behind LUNA has been busy as the month of June was full of protocol upgrades as well as new partnerships and integrations. Some of the major developments for the Terra ecosystem include the launch of Mirror V2, the addition of Terra …

KuCoin (KCS) prices ticked up in the early Wednesday session on July 7, in part because of an ongoing market rally across the top exchange-based utility tokens. The 72nd-largest cryptocurrency peaked for the day at $14.847 before correcting lower on interim profit-taking sentiment. The move downside accompanied decent volumes, alerting that the sell-off momentum could continue across the European and the U.S. sessions. At the time of writing, the KCS/USDT exchange rate was approximately $14, up more than 100% on a month-to-date timeframe (MTD). Therefore, KuCoin's bearish correction appeared as an attempt to neutralize its overextended upside momentum. The cryptocurrency's …

Fundamentals Dubbed as Aave Pro, the platform expects to become a “permissioned liquidity protocol” by offering institutions, corporates and fintech clients access to decentralized finance (DeFi). That said, it would follow strict regulations while onboarding participants, ensuring that their Ethereum addresses are safe-listed following a thorough Know Your Customer process. “We will have different kinds of permissioned markets so that DeFi will be more layered and tailored to specific needs,” Stani Kulechov, founder and …

Synthetix (SNX) spiked to its three-week high on Monday in reaction to a market-wide upside correction led by Bitcoin (BTC) and other top-cap digital assets. The Synthetix project’s native token reached $9.59 after rising four days in a row by up to 50%. That included a sharp 18.29% upswing in the previous daily session, sparked by Bitcoin’s climb above its key resistance level of $35,000. Altcoins tend to tail the flagship digital asset’s price trends. But more factors were in play during SNX’s comparatively higher price boom. Its jump appeared as speculators returned to bet bullishly on the overall decentralized …

In a recent CNBC survey of a group of portfolio managers and equity strategists, only 6% of respondents expect Bitcoin (BTC) to reach $60,000 in 2021.

From the remaining, 25% expect the recovery to reach $45,000 and the rest 25% anticipate a move to $55,000. This suggests that the sentiment remains negative. However, the recent Chinese crackdown on crypto miners or the regulatory actions have failed to trigger the next leg of the downtrend in Bitcoin. This indicates that smart money is not panicking but …
