150,000 Bitcoin (BTC) Trading Record Broken in Crypto Milestone Plus Ripple and XRP, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tron, Stella

From a Bitcoin craze in Brazil to the strength of Stellar Lumens, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
 Brazil now holds the Bitcoin trading record for Latin America, reaching more than 150,000 BTC worth roughly $800 million in the past 24 hours, according to the data tracker CoinTrader Monitor.



The new high comes just days after local crypto exchanges in Brazil broke through 100,000 BTC in 24 hours, which was also a record breaker at the time, reports Crypto Facil. Brazil’s struggle with rising inflation, currently at 4.58%, along with Bitcoin’s sudden rise in price in the beginning of April, appear to have triggered th e recent surge in volume.





 Spiraling inflation has also led to increasing adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in Venezuela and Argentina, highlighting the strength of digital assets as a store of value and a means of moving capital across borders.

Ethereum
 Have a question for Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin? The ETHCapeTown hackathon, the first of its kind in Africa, has invited Buterin as the keynote speaker and is using Twitter to prompt discussion with users worldwide.



Ripple and XRP

The founder of Ripple backed XRPL Labs, Wietse Wind, is offering a behind-the-scenes look at one of his first creations: the XRP Tip Bot. In an interview on the XRP Community Blog, Wind says the platform now serves as a fertile testing ground for things to come.
 “We consider the XRP TipBot (platform/app) as a great experimental environment for things we want to use in production with XRPL Labs.
 Since we already have a great user base / fan base with over 7,500 installations of the application, it’s a really great mixed testing environment.
 So take the Bluetooth feature: We’d be implementing things like that into the TipBot app and testing it with the community before we would use it in the XRPL Labs Signing App.”

Reuters reported that discussions have moved into key technical details, and applicants believe it’s potentially leading to the historic approval of the first Spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. Currently, there are 13 applications for Bitcoin ETFs awaiting review by the SEC. These applications come from prominent asset management companies, including BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale Investments, and ARK Investments.    Notably, in the past week, several of these firms have made crucial updates to their applications, hinting at the evolving nature of their proposals.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
