Here Are Today’s ICO Movers: Incent and Blockchain Capital

Things are now underway for a fresh week of token trading it looks as though we are in for a pretty volatile time in the markets. A number of tokens moved considerably over the weekend and we are expecting a continuation of this volatility as the US markets open for a fresh session on Monday.
With this in mind, here is a look at two of the most active tokens from the last 24 hours and a discussion as to what we feel is behind the action and what to expect next from each.
The two tokens in focus are Incent and Blockchain Capital.
First up, then, Incent.
Many reading will likely already be familiar with this token but for those that aren’t, it’s an incentivized blockchain system through which companies can setup their own reward card type program and offer customers awards based on activity and volume. The ICO happened towards the end of last year and was successful in the sense that it brought in enough capital for Incent to get its platform off the ground and activity since then has been pretty strong.
Over the last 24 hours, Incent’s token is up more than 71%. Extend this time frame to the last week and the number rises to 91%. From its ICO at $0.043, Incent currently trades for $0.282 – a more than 550% increase in around 12 months.
So what is driving the action?
Towards the end of last week, Incent published some of its activity metrics through its social media platform and it looks as though markets are viewing these metrics as favorable and, in turn, are buying up the Incent token in anticipation of near-term business growth.
The company reported that its Waves platform has reached 8 million processed transactions since inception and is doing more than 100,000 transactions daily. Additionally, Incent’s new mobile platform is up and running and this has translated to an improved sentiment surrounding the company and its token.
As far as where things go from here is concerned, we expect Incent to continue to appreciate during the final six or so weeks of this year, especially if the company can maintain its metric growth and (at the same time) raise awareness as to said growth in much the same way it has been able to do over the last few days.
Moving on, let’s look at Blockchain Capital.
This one is a pretty interesting one. The company bills itself as the first digital liquid venture fund and it is essentially a venture capital firm that’s set up to invest in bitcoin and blockchain related technology.
Over the last 24 hours, Blockchain Capital picked up a 59% upside reevaluation, building on the 31% recorded since last week. At its current pricing, Blockchain Capital’s token (called BCAP) trades for $1.23 apiece, up 23% on the token’s $1 ICO price.
Just as with any other venture capital firm, the way this one works is people invest in the company through the purchasing of tokens (as compared to buying shares or holding fiat with the fund, as might be the case in a more traditional VC entity) and the return comes on the back of the funds successful allocation towards startup blockchain companies.
Again, then, what’s causing this one to run right now?
We think the latest move is rooted primarily in the increase in price we have seen in bitcoin over the last few days. This is a company that invests in bitcoin and blockchain entities and, with the bitcoin price being the bellwether for space, the fact that we are seeing all-time highs is suggestive of a strong operational model for Blockchain Capital. Going forward, then, so long as bitcoin continues to rise in price, so should this token.

Bitcoin Price Outlook Ahead of Powell’s Speech

Bitcoin price has been relatively stable over the past few days after volatility picked up during the weekend, pushing the price lower by more than 3%. At the time of writing, the flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was trading at $26,255.55. As it continues to dominate the crypto market, ranking 1st, its total market capitalization slightly declined over the past day to $5.12 billion. Additionally, the total volume of BTC traded over the same period slumped by more than 32%.
Economic Concerns
Data published on Tuesday showed that the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index declined in September to 103.0, down from a revised 108.7 in August. This was its lowest level since May 2023 and marked two consecutive months of decline. The Present Situation Index, which measures consumers’ assessment of current business and labor conditions, rose slightly to 147.1 from 146.7.
The Expectations Index, which measures the consumers’ near-term prospects for business, income, and labor market conditions, dipped to 73.7 in September, down from 83.3 in the prior month. The Expectations Index fell below the crucial level of 80, which signals a recession within the next year. Consumer fears of a looming recession also ticked higher in September amid the short-term economic contraction anticipated in the first half of 2024.
Focus will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Thursday which is likely to add volatility and create a bearish environment for traders. As such,…

Bitcoin Price Climbs Above $27,000 Ahead of the FOMC Monetary Policy Meeting

Bitcoin price jumped more than 3% on Monday, hitting its highest level since August 2023 ahead of the highly anticipated FOMC meeting. At press time, the premier cryptocurrency was trading 2.70% higher at $27,244.20. The digital asset has gained nearly 5% in the month to date and 64.71% in the year to date. Bitcoin’s total market cap has climbed by 3% over the past 24 hours to $531 billion, while the total volume of the asset traded over the same period increased by almost 100%.
Fundamentals
Bitcoin price was showing signs of recovery on Monday from the losses made in the last cryptocurrency market dip. Bitcoin flipped above the important level of $27,000, while Ethereum held above important support levels. The overall cryptocurrency market was in the green with the global crypto market cap up by 2% to $1.08 trillion for the day, while the total crypto market volume increased by more than 56%.
Even so, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which is a major measure of the crypto market sentiment by participants, was in a fear level of 38, almost like last week’s reading. This points to a continued decline in risk appetite by investors, which could prompt them to sell further.
Despite Monday’s bullish rally, interest rate decisions due later in the week may introduce downward pressure on cryptocurrencies. The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is slated to commence its…

Bitcoin Price Flips Above $26,500: What’s Next?

Bitcoin price has been showing signs of a potential short-term recovery over the past few days and even tapped its highest level in two weeks, above $26,500. The premier cryptocurrency has gained nearly 2% over the past week, erasing some of the losses made in the previous days. Even so, the asset remains 9% below in the month to date. Bitcoin’s total market cap has climbed by more than 1% over the last day to $518 billion, while the total volume of BTC traded over the same period decreased by more than 9%.
Inflation Concerns
Like most major altcoins, Bitcoin price noted a slight bearish initial response to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data published on September 13. Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed headline inflation by the CPI came in at 3.7%, ahead of the predicted 3.6% year-on-year and higher than July’s 3.2% rate. Annual core CPI, which excluded food and energy prices, decreased to 4.3% in August, in line with forecasts and down from July’s 4.7% reading.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) data released on Thursday suggested bearable levels of inflation following a monthly increase of 0.7% and an annual increase of 1.6% in August. The monthly reading was higher than the estimated 0.4% increase. The core PPI came in at 0.2% for the month, in line with analysts’ expectations.
