Is Bitcoin Really Decoupling From Stocks? Experts Weigh In

There’s a wry humor in the fact that Bitcoin has at times been very closely correlated with traditional markets. Bitcoiners generally prefer that BTC not have a high correlation with traditional assets, like stocks and bonds. After all, one of the core tenets of the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization—$379 billion as of this writing, according to CoinGecko—is that it bypasses traditional finance.  That’s why self-avowed Bitcoin fans, like Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss,...

Citadel's Ken Griffin: Investors Leaving Bitcoin, NFTs and Meme Stocks Is Good for Economy

People moving on from the “speculative bubble” that is crypto, NFTs, and meme stocks is a positive sign for the U.S. economy, according to Wall Street heavyweight Ken Griffin.  Miami-based trading firm Citadel Securities’ founder said in a Wednesday interview with CNBC that government handouts in 2020, in response to the COVID-19 lockdowns, led to investors pumping their cash into “speculative assets” like NFTs, crypto, and meme stocks.  So-called meme stocks, shares of companies that gain a fol...

Bitcoin Short Investment Funds Hit All-Time High of $172M: CoinShares

Institutional investor Bitcoin sentiment turned pessimistic on Friday as short Bitcoin inflows hit an all-time high, according to a new report from CoinShares. Short Bitcoin funds give investors exposure to derivatives, like futures and options, that bet against the price of Bitcoin. While investors can enter into those contracts directly, the CoinShares report tracks the flow of funds for exchange-traded products.  By the end of last week, short Bitcoin investment products hit an all-time high...

Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao thinks the Bitcoin bear market is good for crypto. In a conversation with Messari CEO Ryan Selkis at the Mainnet conference Wednesday, CZ—who connected remotely via video chat—said a four-year crypto market cycle is normal and that a bear market is healthier in the long term than a seemingly never-ending upward trend. “Price corrections are actually good,” CZ said, adding that investors shouldn’t look at token prices as signs of how the crypto market is doing.

This past Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated his intent to counter inflation with higher interest rates in the near future. Markets reacted sharply to...

Celsius Asks to Return Some Customer Funds in Court Filing

Bankrupt crypto lender Celsius today said in a court filing that it would seek to return some—but not all—of its customers’ funds.  The company said it wanted to release nearly $50 million in digital assets belonging to customers who were a part of the “custody” program—accounts that stored crypto but did not generate returns.  Celsius said in the filing that customers of the custody program owned their assets, while customers using the Celsius “earn” or “borrow” programs had invested their asse...

The price of Bitcoin took a hit this morning, falling near $20,000, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the U.S. central bank may well keep raising interest rates.  At the time of writing, the biggest cryptocurrency by market cap was trading for roughly $20,600, according to CoinGecko data—a 24-hour drop of 3.7%.    Bitcoin has been battered this year following a huge market sell-off.

Dogecoin Gets Hit Hardest Among Top 10 Coins in Market Sell Off

As virtually every cryptocurrency bleeds on Friday, of the top 10 biggest digital assets, Dogecoin has been hit the hardest: the meme coin is down 14.6% in 24 hours at the time of writing, trading for $0.069327, as per CoinGecko.  Dogecoin, which has a market cap of $9.2 billion, had been doing well. Only at the weekend it was one of the best performing altcoins, and touched $0.0838—20% higher than it is now.  Its brief surge was likely down to the release of Dogechain, a blockchain network that...

Who’s Firing—And Still Hiring—During the Bitcoin Bear Market

Editor's note: This article was first published on June 16, 2022, and last updated on August 19. Cryptocurrencies and the stock market have been hammered by deteriorating economic conditions so far this year, between a recession potentially looming, sky-high inflation and a Federal Reserve that’s poised to further cool down the economy by raising interest rates. The worsening outlook towards the economy has led companies to cut back on hiring or shrink operations in an attempt to better manage c...

Second Layoff Round at Crypto.com Worse than June Cuts: Sources
