Bitcoin has had a crazy week. Having briefly sunk to $28,900, the lowest price it’s been since before January 4, Bitcoin quickly recovered to reach highs of $33,800 yesterday.
Today its price has stabilized to around $31,500, taking it up almost two percent from yesterday, though continuing Bitcoin’s recent downturn; in the past seven days, it’s pulled back by 15%.
After a historic bull run over the festive season saw prices rise to an eye-watering $42,000 on January 8, analysts all went to pot this week.
One report attributed Bitcoin’s sudden downward jerk to fears of a double-spending glitch on the blockchain. A double spend occurs when the same Bitcoin is spent twice. These fears prompted software company NexTech AR Solutions to sell off 130 bitcoins, or roughly $4 million.
Then BitMEX Research, the research wing of crypto exchange BitMEX, quickly debunked fears of the double-spend on Twitter, chalking it up to an instance of ‘RBF’ or Replace By Fee, a method that allows payment senders to replace unconfirmed transactions with a higher fee to make sure the transaction confirms quicker.
And recent Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor remains as defiant as ever in the face of plunging prices. Saylor tweeted that MicroStrategy had just acquired an additional 314 Bitcoins, at a price of approximately $10 million. Saylor announced it cost him $31,808 per Bitcoin, which is almost double the price of the average MicroStrategy BTC purchase at $16,035, according to this SEC filing.
Joining MicroStrategy in its optimistic projections for BTC is SkyBridge, whose founder, Anthony Scaramucci, has long supported the coin. The company’s COO Brian Messing this week said institutional interest could drive Bitcoin up to prices of $500,000.
Elsewhere in the market, Polkadot’s DOT and Cardano’s ADA rose by approximately 5%. Gains closer to the 10% ballpark were made by Uniswap’s UNI, Aave’s AAVE and Tezos's XTZ too.

Standard Chartered has raised its Ethereum price target to $25,000 by 2028, a major shift from March forecasts that predicted a structural decline for the world's second-largest crypto. The UK banking giant made a massive revision on its Ethereum outlook, now projecting $7,500 by the end of 2025, $12,000 in 2026, $18,000 in 2027, and $25,000 in both 2028 and 2029, up from its earlier $4,000 target for 2025. "We raise our price forecasts, as the backdrop for ETH has improved dramatically in recen...
A supposedly banned Coinbase ad is appearing on YouTube videos belonging to Channel 4, one of Britain's biggest broadcasters, sources familiar with the matter told Decrypt. The cryptocurrency exchange released its “Everything Is Fine” ad last month—a big-budget, two-minute commercial that depicts the U.K. as bleak, rat infested and dirty, with prices in supermarkets spiraling out of control. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong claimed the advert was "banned" by British TV networks, and argued this amou...
Ethereum ETFs and strategic reserves now account for 7.98% of ETH’s total supply, according to data from Strategic ETH Reserve.xyz. This percentage has risen from about 3% as recently as the beginning of April, when no publicly listed company held any Ethereum as a reserve asset. Since then a wave of corporations have added ETH to their treasuries, helping the altcoin to rise from $1,800 in early April to its current price of $4,300. This includes firms such as Bitmine Immersion Tech, The Ether...
