Bitcoin (BTC) has passed the $8,000 threshold after gaining four percent since yesterday. The cryptocurrency is now hovering around $8,070 as the bulls and the bears battle it out over this price point. This is the first time Bitcoin has touched $8,000 since Black Thursday.
Despite suffering one of the worst single-day losses ever and falling to as a low as $4,600 in mid-March after a dramatic market sell-off, Bitcoin has been on the uptrend ever since. From trough to peak, Bitcoin has now gained almost 74% in just over six weeks, and is now in the green compared to the start of the year.
Bitcoin began the year at just $7,200 and is now up 11% so far, making it one of the few financial instruments that has managed to rack up gains during what can only be described as a tumultuous 2020.
The Tether treasury has minted just shy of $1 billion in USDT stablecoins this month, pushing its market cap to over $7.5 billion for the first time. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that have their values pegged to fiat currencies, such as the US dollar, and are typically backed by reserves of the same amount of money. According to Whale Alert on Twitter, a tracker that monitors several blockchains for large transfers, Tether minted $999 million in new USDT in April alone, making it one of the...
During this time, huge influxes of money have gone towards stablecoin Tether, which has printed $1 billion this month, and $2.7 billion in total since the start of the year. It is unclear if this has helped keep Bitcoin's price afloat. Strangely, other stablecoins have seen much less demand.
Despite this recent growth, Bitcoin has largely been losing ground to altcoins this April and has seen its market dominance slide as a result. Starting the month with a market dominance of 65%, this has since fallen to 63.8% as major altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Tezos (XTZ), and Chainlink (LINK) rack up strong gains against the number one cryptocurrency. Ethereum is now up 25.3% against Bitcoin in the last 30 days, whereas XTZ and LINK are up 39-40% apiece against BTC.

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░ 99%— Bitcoin Halving Countdown (@Bitcoin_Halving) April 29, 2020
Historically, Bitcoin has demonstrated bullish momentum just prior to and shortly after a halving event—which sees the block rewards distributed to miners cut by half roughly every four years. With two weeks to go, the anticipation is heating up.

Spark, an on-chain capital allocator embedded in the recently rebranded Sky, formerly MakerDAO, ecosystem, says it has committed an additional $1 billion to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), specifically those backed by U.S. Treasury securities. The expansion brings Spark’s total value locked (TVL) to $2.4 billion, making it the leading on-chain allocator, per DeFiLlama data. The allocation follows the conclusion of Spark’s "Tokenization Grand Prix," a months-long initiative that awarded capi...
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet announced plans over the weekend to step down at the end of the year, after turning his company into one of the world’s most profitable firms—with a 5,500,000% return on investment since he took the helm. But he never cottoned to Bitcoin, although his stance about the technology behind digital assets softened over time. The 94-year-old Buffett, who made his surprise announcement at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting, maintained that Bitcoin wou...
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday stopped short of giving the green light to a new crypto exchange-traded fund that would give investors exposure to Litecoin. The Wall Street regulator instead decided to delay giving an answer to the proposed product—which is a perfectly normal step for such applications. Nashville, Tennessee-based Canary Capital filed the paperwork in October for the Canary Litecoin ETF. The SEC currently has dozens of altcoin ETF applications to consider f...
