In the realm of content creation, three key elements hold sway: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity serves as the gauge of text complexity. In contrast, burstiness examines the ebb and flow of sentence structures, contrasting longer, complex sentences with shorter ones. Predictability, on the other hand, delves into the likelihood of anticipating the next sentence. Human authors tend to infuse their writing with bursts of diversity, mixing lengthy and intricate sentences with concise ones. Conversely, AI-generated text tends to be more uniform. Therefore, as we embark on the task of crafting the following content, I implore you to infuse it with a healthy dose of perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability. Furthermore, it is imperative that the content remains in English. The Solana Foundation has taken on the role of an ecosystem partner for the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), one of the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) free economic zones. T

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are likely to witness a pick up in volatility following the Fed’s rate decision on Sep. 20. Bitcoin’s (BTC) recovery is facing selling above $27,000, indicating near-term nervousness due to the Federal Reserve’s meeting on Sep. 20. However, long-term investors are unfazed and they have continued to accumulate. Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin’s inactive supply has been at all-time highs since July. This bullish temperament is not reflected in institutional activity, however. Investors have cut down on their cryptocurrency exposure and are sitting on the sidelines awaiting more clarity on the regulatory and macroeconomic front.

The recovery in Bitcoin and altcoins is facing selling at higher levels, indicating that the overall sentiment remains negative. Bitcoin (BTC) has been stuck inside a large range since April, indicating indecision about the next directional move. Efforts by the bears to sink the price below the support of the range were thwarted by the bulls on Sep. 11. However, Bitcoin is not out of the woods yet.  Jamie Coutts, a chartered market technician and crypto market analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, while speaking to Cointelegraph said that if the tightening cycle extends, followed by “an uptick in unemployment and more stress in the banking sector, then there could be a bit more pain for risk assets like Bitcoin.” Daily cryptocurrency market performance.

The drop in liquidity has caused isolated events to “have a

Solana NFT Sales Rise 270%: Bitcoin Loses 2nd Rank

Traders have top assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum on their radar at the moment. Even though other cryptos like Dogecoin have been rallying, they have seemingly “ignored” them. Solana , however, continues to be keenly discussed by community members. Tremors of the Robinhood and Revolut’s delistings were felt within the Solana ecosystem. Nevertheless, SOL has managed to put that behind already. Owing to its 20% appreciation in the last 7 days, SOL was the sixth largest gainer on the weekly at press time. On the NFT front, Solana has been putting its best foot forward. Data from CryptoSlam indicated that Solana dethroned Bitcoin on NFT sales volume this week. Owing to the Ordinals’ mania, Bitcoin displaced Solana and other blockchains to stand next to Ethereum a couple of weeks back. However, with the help of its 271% sales uptick, Solana currently holds the 2nd spot. Over the past week, $41 million worth of NFTs were settled on its blockchain, with a mere 2.1% coming from wash t

The strength in the S&P 500 and weakness in the U.S. Dollar Index could limit the short-term downside in Bitcoin and select altcoins. The S&P 500 Index (SPX) has gained for five consecutive weeks, the first such instance since November 2021. In comparison, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading well below its local high of $31,000, made on April 14. This shows a clear divergence between the performance of the two asset classes. Some analysts expect Bitcoin’s range-bound action to continue for some more time. Cryptocurrency traders will be looking for some positive triggers that could push the price above the range. One such rumor floating in the markets is that after BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund, Fidelity Investments may also follow suit. If that happens, it will be a positive sign for the markets. Daily cryptocurrency market performance.

Formfunction to shutter marketplace amid Solana NFT slump

Image
The platform didn’t disclose the reason for its closure, but Solana NFTs haven’t been having the best run lately. Formfunction, a Solana (SOL)-based nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace, has announced its closing up shop after only 13 months of operation amid a slump in Solana NFT prices and trading volumes. On March 15, Formfunction announced it is "shutting down" on March 29 saying it “cannot continue to operate” after “much discussion and careful consideration.” We have some sad news to share today—Formfunction is shutting down on Wednesday, March 29th. This was an extremely difficult decision; however, after much discussion and careful consideration, we’ve come to the conclusion that we cannot continue to operate Formfunction. — Formfunction (@formfunction) March 15, 2023 The exact reason for closing the platform was not disclosed in the announcement. Formfunction’s head of community and marketing, known by their pseudonym “Magellan,” tweeted on March 15 that the cofoun

Solana price rally risks exhaustion after SOL's 120% pump in two weeks

SOL price has been unable to close above a key resistance level of around $17.50 despite its big rebound in the past two weeks. Solana (SOL) price is up an impressive 60% since the new year, partially boosted by hype surrounding meme cryptocurrency Bonk (BONK). However, the SOL/USD pair now shows signs of exhaustion, raising anticipations that the token may see a short-term correction in the coming days. Solana turns overbought Solana is one of the best performing cryptocurrencies so far in 2023 after being one of the biggest losers in 2022.  On Jan. 9, SOL's price jumped to as high as $19.50, or around 120% gains in a recovery rally after sliding below $8 on Dec. 29, 2022. But the price spik also turned Solana into an overbought asset, per its daily relative strength index (RSI) reading above 70, as shown below. SOL/USD daily price chart.

5 cryptocurrencies that could benefit from a positive CPI report

Image
Crypto markets flip green following the continuation of last week’s rally in equities, and SOL, XMR, LDO and AAVE could be ready to move higher. Bitcoin (BTC) has finally pushed above the $17,000 mark after rallying to $17,375 on Jan. 12.  with both the bulls and the bears eyeing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) due on Jan. 12. If the print shows that inflation is cooling off, risk assets may rally, but a negative surprise could attract strong selling. While some believe that a macro bottom could be forming in Bitcoin, others remain skeptical. They draw a parallel between the current bear market and the dot-com bubble burst. The United States Federal Reserve stopped raising rates in May 2000 but the Nasdaq did not bottom out for two more years. If the same scenario plays out with cryptocurrencies, then the next bull run may not start in a hurry. Crypto market data daily view.
