Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Ripple On the Rise
The recent development in the cryptocurrency industry is a rise in price for many of the core digital coins. We believe that the unexpected price hike is due to the renewed interest of the key players in the industry. Many investors, speculators, and traders are rushing into the number one cryptocurrency; Bitcoin like never before. Other altcoins such as Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin are not dormant either. The effect of the influx is the soaring prices of the digital coins within seven days.
The price of the crypto leading giant-Bitcoin has increased at 25.74 percent in one week. Ethereum also gained 18.76 percent increase in its price. Litecoin and Ripple also recorded some percentage increase in the tune of 53.20 percent and 16.12 percent respectively. It is no just these few popular coins that have gained in one week. From what we have gathered, 94 digital coins amongst the leading 100 cryptocurrencies are also experiencing the rise in price. This information is according to what TradingView published in April 2019.
According to them also, other cryptocurrencies gained in value while others declined. From their calculations, six digital currencies advanced while ninety-four was on the decline. Also, another information shows that the increase in Bitcoin price has reduced the value of other assets such as bonds and stocks.
The possible reason for the rally
Many people are wondering about the reasons for the recent rally of Bitcoin. The factors that could lead to such a hike in price is several. However, one of the glaring ones is that big shots came back to invest in the coin. According to DailyFX Team member, Nicholas Cawley, a large order to buy Bitcoin set off the increase in price. He implied that rumor has it that the order was to the tune of $100 million.
Also, a tech advisor Kirill Bensonoff agrees that the existence of the huge order fuelled the surge. According to Bensonoff, it also shows that the big players are resuming their activities in the crypto market.
Another factor also is the lower interest rates which turned on the speculative investment risks. There are other factors which the industry know as “market technicals.” According to Cawley’s observations, market volume has risen to four times of the normal turnover. This factor also increased the rally. He also pointed out that the coin went past the “200 days moving average” of $4,650 without resistance.
Speculations on how far the rally will go
Many investors are wondering how far the sudden rally of Bitcoin will reach. Investors and traders are also asking if it is possible for the leading coin to reach $20,000 again. Well, the possibility lies in the hands of the industry regulators. If they give their approval to those financial instruments that attract broad investors into the markets, then there is hope
Concerning the $20,000 mark, Bensonoff stated that it would be possible if there is a catalyst to start it off. He also pointed out that the catalyst that can cause such a hike will be the approval of ETFs. In his opinion, without such approval, Bitcoin is likely to stop at $10,000. Although we are not sure if either scenario will occur, the crypto market will continue to be volatile.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //
Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.
Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.
The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.
NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…
2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for. While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory. When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion. But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.
I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness. Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion. Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special. Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.
Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology
It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different. Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…
