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.

The Pudgy Penguins-themed meme coin, PENGU, has surged over 100% in the past week, fueled by ETF chatter and a push on social media—but analysts are questioning whether the rally is built to last. PENGU is currently trading at just under $0.031, up 9.7% in the last 24 hours and 101% on the week, according to CoinGecko data. The rally comes just weeks after the U.S. SEC added new filings to its docket, including a 19b-4 application from Cboe to allow trading of the Canary PENGU ETF. Canary Capita...
The price of XRP climbed above $3.00 on Monday, hitting a six-month high as investor optimism about the asset’s usefulness and more favorable regulatory environment rose. The asset may also benefit from tokenization trends over the coming years, Matt Kreiser, an analyst at crypto analytics platform Messari, told Decrypt. He noted that XRP’s price movements over the past week are reminiscent of strength seen late last year. “It’s a resurgence of what happened in the fall after the election of Tr...
