Cardano is buzzing with excitement as one of its prominent community members, known as ADA Whale, unveils a groundbreaking decentralized payment service called Hydra Pay. This eagerly anticipated solution comes at a crucial moment for Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, ADA, which has recently faced significant challenges following the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s classification of the token as a security. In the midst of these regulatory challenges, ADA managed to defy the odds and soar with an impressive 11% gain, according to an ADA price report. However, as of the time of writing, the price of ADA has once again dipped into the red zone. Steady Development Activity But Declining ADA Price Raises Concerns Cardano, a prominent blockchain platform, is currently experiencing a slight setback as the price of ADA has shed 0.3% of its value in the past 24 hours, with a seven-day decline of 3.0%, according to data from Coingecko. As of now, ADA is valued at $0.285. Despite the recent fluctuations in ADA’s price, Cardano’s development activity (see figure below) has remained stable throughout 2023, in stark contrast to the erratic swings witnessed in the latter half of 2022. ADA Whale’s Tweet Fuels Anticipation Of Crypto’s Price According to ADA Whale, Hydra Pay holds the promise of revolutionizing micropayments within the Web3 realm. While no official announcement has been made by Cardano regarding this prospective feature, the mere teaser has ignited a wave of anticipation among fans and industry observers alike. The anticipation surrounding Hydra Pay stems from its potential to positively impact the price of ADA in the near term. Micropayments play a crucial role in the emerging Web3 ecosystem, enabling seamless and cost-effective transactions for various online services, content creators, and decentralized applications (dApps). If Hydra Pay delivers on its promise of revolutionizing this space, it could attract significant attention and usage within the Cardano ecosystem. Increased adoption of Hydra Pay could lead to a surge in demand for ADA tokens, as users seek to utilize the payment service for their micro-transactions. This heightened demand, coupled with the limited supply of ADA tokens, has the potential to drive up the price of ADA in the market. (This site’s content should not be construed as investment advice.

The Indian cyber crime dept. seized crypto users bank accounts citing P2P scams. Many investors lost their funds and accounts in P2P UPI transactions. The “seizure of multiple Binance P2P-linked bank accounts” sent a shockwave through the Indian crypto community as the country stepped forward to secure the people from scams and fraudulent activities using P2P UPI transactions, following the Rs. 2 lakh (around $2420) fund scam, which is circulated in the chain. The Indian government’s ‘cyber security department’ is seizing all bank accounts using peer-to-peer technology, citing issues with scams and fraudulent activities. Many users of the largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance and Coinbase are experiencing distressing incidents related to P2P scams in India. The issues have been ongoing since mid-April. Recently, TheNewsCrypto also published an article about the issue that still exists. However, despite the “victims’ loud calls for help,” the crypto exchange Binance, or CEO Changpeng Zhao, aka CZ, has not yet responded to anything. Also, the crypto regulators and the communities are not doing anything to address the issue. Increasing Conflicts Over Indian Crypto Accounts The cyber police are freezing the bank accounts of common citizens who have no clue if the counterparty is ‘genuine or a scammer’. Even though the victims provided the necessary details to the investigating officers, they have not received any response or assistance thus far. If one account is blocked in P2P, then all connected accounts will also be blocked. Further, netizens from the crypto community in India started posting tweets to let others know about the suspicious event. Also, the P2P scam victims have formed a telegram group named “P2P Victims: Bank Seized” to discuss the cyber crime actions. The group has more than 1,500 members, and they aim to create awareness among the public. Still, it’s unknown how many have been affected by this. Moreover, some famed people are also working on highlighting the issues. However, the government can provide some guidelines on how to proceed with the transactions without affecting the common people.

COMP, the native token of DeFi lending protocol Compound Finance, has drawn much attention following its positive price performance in the last day. According to data by CoinMarketCap, COMP has risen by 11.03% in the 24 hours, emerging as the top daily gainer of the market. This price rise is quite significant, as COMP recorded some price drops in the last few days, which may have prompted concerns for its numerous investors after the token’s remarkable, bullish form in recent weeks. COMP To Break Key Resistance Level? In the third week of June, COMP embarked on a stunning bullish run which saw the DeFi token gain over 125% to trade as high as $69.15 as of July 4. Related Reading: Compound (COMP) Token Rallies Over 100% After CEO Quits – Details However, after attaining this price level, COMP came under significant selling pressure, losing over 9.63% of its market value in the last week before experiencing its recent price boost today. Looking at its 4-Hour Chart, its Relative Strength Index – a tool for measuring the pace and variation of price movement – is set at 53 but is currently ascending toward the overbought zone meaning the current price uptrend may last for a while. In tandem, the token’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line just crossed above the signal line, which is also interpreted as a bullish signal. Analyzing its price movement, COMP faces major resistance at the $70 price zone as the token has failed to break past this barrier twice in the last three weeks. However, if the market bulls are able to sustain the current buying pressure pushing past this price level, COMP is likely to resume its initial bullish trajectory. If the token fails to break past the $70 price zone, however, it will likely fall and retest at the $50.00 price mark, which currently represents its imminent support level. At the time of writing, Compound (COMP) is trading at $58.62, with a 0.60% decline in the last hour. The token’s daily trading volume is valued at $136 million, having gained by 216.75%. General Crypto Market In Red Amidst COMP’s market gain, a majority of the crypto market is experiencing slight losses, with the total crypto market cap declining by 0.77% in the last 24 hours, according to data by CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin (BTC), the premier cryptocurrency and market leader, is down by 0.60%, while Ethereum (ETH) has also seen its market price drop by 0.56%. Related Reading: ADA Price Consolidates Below $0.30 – What Could Trigger A Sharp Decline?

Crypto exchange Binance US displays the strong depeg of stablecoins. Over the past week, the crypto market lost $128 million in hacks and exploits. Hacks and phishing attacks of different kinds invaded the crypto landscape in the first week of July. As a result, two major stablecoins breached their stable grounds, recording extreme lows on Binance US. On July 9, around 00:00 UTC, the largest stablecoin, Tether (USDT), depegged from its $1 parity and bottomed to an alarming low of $0.8800. Meanwhile, Circle’s USD Coin (USDC), its stablecoin rival, plunged to $0.8050 on the same day. Multichain Hack: Root Cause of the Depeg July 7 turned out to be the hack day in the crypto market. Contrary attacks commenced on the day — few without any loss of funds such as Aptos and the other with a notable $126 million loot. This USDT and USDC depeg on Binance is an aftermath of the Multichain hack. Multichain, formerly Anyswap, is a cross-chain protocol that enables crypto transfers via bridges over multiple blockchain networks. During this hack, the protocol’s Fantom Bridge was exploited. Various assets include Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), wrapped Ethereum (wETH), Dai (DAI), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC). Circle and Tether Freeze Millions of USDC, USDT Currently, Multichain has suspended all its services without any specific “return date.”The leading stablecoin issuers, Circle and Tether, froze 5 addresses associated with the Multichain hack. Three accounts held 63 million USDC and two accounts held 2.5 million USDT, as reported by blockchain security firm PeckShield.

Investors rush to take advantage of a price difference, known as an arbitrage opportunity. Binance.US will stop processing U.S. dollar withdrawals on July 20. There is a discount of around $2600 and $150, respectively, on the global spot price of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are now trading near $27,500 and $1700 on the Binance U.S exchange. Following the US SEC lawsuit and the suspension of USD deposits and withdrawals, USDT has remained depegged to the USD at $0.91. On the cryptocurrency exchange, there are other altcoins that are selling at a discount. Massive Arbitrage Opportunity On Binance U.S, Bitcoin and Ethereum both rose by 2%, as investors rush to take advantage of a price difference, known as an arbitrage opportunity. The only individuals who can take advantage of this supposedly improved arbitrage opportunity are those who already have USD on Binance U.S. For over a month, US deposits have been unavailable. Binance.US will stop processing U.S. dollar withdrawals on July 20. The future of Binance in the U.S has been called into question by the cryptocurrency community, as several top executives leave the cryptocurrency exchange. Veteran trader Peter Brandt also took notice of the USDT depeg on Binance.US, accusing Binance CEO CZ and calling it the “scam of the decade.” He said that the same exchange had allowed to sell Bitcoin for $8,000 while the cryptocurrency was selling elsewhere for $60,000. According to him, CZ should be questioned by the community about this. In addition, investors’ continued holdings caused balances on exchanges to dwindle, causing liquidity concerns in the crypto market. Binance and Coinbase, two of the largest global cryptocurrency exchanges, are among those using a variety of methods and promotions to boost market liquidity.

In the fast-moving crypto world, one altcoin made particularly high waves last week: Solana. Within the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap, the SOL price recorded the second highest price increase within the last seven days with 8.5%. And the unexpected surge in price for many has catapulted the SOL token to arguably the most crucial resistance at the moment: the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA). Looking at the 1-day chart, the Solana share price was able to break above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $19.71, as predicted in our last chart analysis, and subsequently crossed the psychologically important $20.00 mark. While the first attempt failed, the Solana bulls celebrated a resounding success in the second attempt. However, as predicted in our last price analysis, there was increased selling pressure at the 200-day EMA currently at $21.97, to which the bulls succumbed. Similar to the last week of June, a consolidation may now be needed first to reset the technical indicators. In mid-June, SOL posted a 26% rally, followed by a seven day consolidation (bull flag). A similar scenario could be possible now. A retest of the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $19.71 could be on the table. Remarkably, the pressure on the bulls is huge as the Solana token has failed to break the 200-day EMA since April 2022. The most recent rejection occurred in April 2023, followed by a 44% crash. However, the external circumstances in the crypto market are different now. Due to the hope for a Bitcoin spot ETF, new life has been breathed into the altcoin market as well. Solana, despite its strong fundamentals, has been hit particularly hard by the FTX drama and more recently the SEC’s declaration of it as a security. Accordingly, a recovery offers plenty of upside potential. If the 200-day EMA breaks, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level (at $23.36) would certainly be only a short intermediate level before the yearly high at $27.00, which also coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci level. A break above this chart level could open the floodgates for an even more massive rally. However, in addition to a general uptrend in the overall crypto market, this will certainly require a Solana-specific catalyst. For the recent rally, this does not really seem to exist. Reasons Behind The Recent Solana Price Rally While there isn’t a specific identifiable catalyst for Solana’s recent pump, several factors seem to be contributing to its upward trajectory. One driver has been the announcement of partnerships with notable entities. For instance, Coca-Cola in Serbia collaborated with Solana’s NFT platform, SolSea, to offer limited edition hoodies accompanied by NFTs during a music event. Moreover, Solana’s popularity on social media platforms cannot be overlooked, as on-chain data firm Santiment noted. The bullish sentiment surrounding Solana has reached new heights, with Reddit forums buzzing about the coin’s potential. Market influencers and Reddit traders have likely played a role in driving Solana’s price action, as their influence on market movements is well-documented. This social media hype has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, propelling SOL’s price even higher. Interestingly, Solana faced a regulatory hurdle in June when it was threatened with delistings from several US exchanges due SEC lawsuits. However, the allegation that SOL is an unregistered security is vehemently denied by the Solana Foundation. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, this regulatory uncertainty has cast a shadow over Solana’s future, indicating potential challenges ahead. But despite these obstacles, Solana has demonstrated resilience. After weathering the storm caused by the FTX bankruptcy, the platform has made an impressive recovery. Its technology, which enables rapid and reliable decentralized applications and cryptocurrency services, continues to captivate the market. This allure, coupled with the platform’s promising performance, has piqued the interest of investors and fueled expectations of further gains. So while the exact catalyst behind Solana’s surge remains elusive, the combination of partnerships, social media buzz, and its resilient technology paints a picture of a cryptocurrency on the rise.
 
Shiba Inu (SHIB), a cryptocurrency featuring an adorable dog-inspired logo, has witnessed a remarkable surge in large transactions. However, there’s more to the recent surge than initially meets the eye. What is the driving force behind the significant increase in Shiba Inu transactions? Could this be indicative of a larger trend unfolding in the cryptocurrency space? Amidst the noticeable surge in substantial SHIB transactions, it is crucial to acknowledge the significant outflows from prominent holders. This particular observation prompts us to question the underlying motives driving these transactions and the potential consequences they may have on the market. Substantial Surge In SHIB Transactions A remarkable surge in substantial Shiba Inu (SHIB) transactions has recently been reported. According to a SHIB price report, these transactions witnessed an astonishing spike, skyrocketing by an impressive 454% last Thursday. Within the span of 24 hours, the cumulative number of these transactions reached an astounding 6.36 trillion tokens, translating into a substantial increase of $36.38 million in monetary terms. Although there was a slight decrease in volume during the subsequent 24-hour period, the level remained significantly high. During the weekend, the recorded value settled at 4.49 trillion SHIB or $34.38 million. The ongoing enthusiasm and involvement in the Shiba Inu token indicate a consistent commitment to its engagement. Shiba Inu: Market Response And Price Analysis The surge in substantial SHIB transactions and the sustained interest and activity surrounding the Shiba Inu token raise questions about their potential impact on its price. While the reported increase in transactions reflects heightened market engagement, it does not directly indicate the direction of the SHIB price. SHIB on CoinGecko is at $0.00000760. Over the past 24 hours, there has been a slight decline of 1.0% in its price, while the seven-day period has witnessed a marginal decrease of 0.2%. The price of SHIB is influenced by a multitude of factors, including supply and demand dynamics, market sentiment, and overall cryptocurrency market conditions. Large transactions alone may not be sufficient to determine the price movement of SHIB, as they could be attributed to various motivations, including profit-taking, portfolio rebalancing, or strategic moves by institutional investors. While the surge in transactions may initially suggest increased demand and positive market sentiment, the subsequent decline in volume could have mixed effects on the price of Shiba Inu. The decrease in transaction volume might indicate a temporary slowdown in buying pressure, potentially exerting downward pressure on the token’s price.

Additionally, yesterday Fake_Phishing183873 got 67.76 $WBTC ($2.05M) from Multichain to the anyWBTC Token address. It was the MPC address that initiated the withdrawal. Either an unauthorized party has gained access to the account or the admin is moving funds to ensure their security. Hackers show no indications of stopping their constant onslaught. A phishing link was widely shared on Twitter shortly after the Multichain incident. Trapping Users Thru Phishing Links There has been a lot of buzz on Twitter about the fraudulent distribution of Fantom (FTM) to users, which has been deceptively attributed to the Multichain assault. The affected individuals were tricked into clicking on a phishing link that seemed to come from the non-profit Fantom Foundation, which is responsible for the Fantom network. As a result of the alleged exploitation of the cross-chain router protocol Multichain, stablecoin issuers Circle and Tether have frozen approximately $65 million in assets. The decision was made after a significant funds outflow on July 6 from the Multichain MPC bridge. The 0xScope knowledge graph protocol reports that the funds in at least three wallets that received USDC from Multichain have been frozen. More than $2.5 million in Tether USDT was reportedly frozen from two addresses that appeared on Etherscan’s list of “Multichain Suspicious Addresses.” No one knows what triggered the unusual wealth transfer. Multichain made the announcement on Twitter that it will be temporarily suspending existing services, albeit no return date was given.

The country has strengthened itself to become the new heart of the AI sector in the European Union. The significant advancements in the AI sector are expected to be the major reason for the increase in World ID usage.

After the launch in Madrid, more than 150K people have registered for the World ID over the past year. And also, there are 20K people registered for the World ID each month after the expansion. Moreover, with this significant milestone, it is now included in Barcelona. It allows the Worldcoin Operator location to be available throughout the country to support the increasing interest in the project.

Litecoin (LTC) has recently faced a significant decline in its price, with bears gaining momentum as it slumps below the crucial $100 mark. LTC, often referred to as the “silver to Bitcoin’s gold,” has been a favorite among investors seeking an alternative to the pioneer cryptocurrency. The bearish momentum behind Litecoin’s decline raises questions about the factors driving this price slump and the potential implications for the broader cryptocurrency market. Will Litecoin be able to regain its strength and recover from this setback, or is there more downside ahead? Bears Pull LTC Price Down Litecoin is currently experiencing a downturn in its price, with CoinGecko reporting it at $93.52. This marks a significant decline of 4.5% within the last 24 hours and a substantial seven-day slump of 17.2%. As the price slips below the crucial $100 mark, traders and investors are closely monitoring the situation and assessing the potential factors that could influence LTC’s rebound. The recent dip below $100 has sparked concerns among market participants, indicating that sellers might be gaining the upper hand. Traders and investors are now paying close attention to the $90-$92 price range as a critical zone that could determine the outcome of the ongoing battle between the bulls and the bears. According to an LTC price report, if the price manages to hold above this level and the bulls can regain control, it could indicate a potential recovery for LTC. However, a breach of this support zone may further fuel the bearish sentiment and lead to additional downward pressure on Litecoin’s price. Insights And Technical Factors To Consider To anticipate how Litecoin will rebound from this slump, traders and investors should closely examine various insights and technical factors. Factors such as trading volume, price patterns, and support/resistance levels should be considered to gauge the strength of a potential rebound. Apart from technical considerations, market sentiment and external factors also play a crucial role in Litecoin’s price movement. As the broader cryptocurrency market often influences individual assets, monitoring industry-wide trends becomes vital. Traders and investors should keep a close eye on Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, as Litecoin has often displayed a strong correlation with its price movements. If Bitcoin experiences a significant recovery, it could potentially boost sentiment across the cryptocurrency market and provide support for Litecoin’s rebound. Any positive developments in terms of regulatory clarity or major adoption announcements may also generate renewed interest in Litecoin and drive its price higher.

In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies, centralized services and stringent regulations frequently overshadow the original vision of decentralization. Despite this, Blockonomics stands out as one of the few payment gateways that adheres to the decentralized ethos of cryptocurrencies. What is the issue? Bitcoin (BTC), the first cryptocurrency, was created to allow for decentralized Peer-to-Peer (P2P) transactions without the use of intermediaries. However, as Bitcoin’s adoption grew, the majority of payment gateways began to lean toward centralization. These gateways implemented stringent identity checks and closely monitored funds, jeopardizing the privacy and control that cryptocurrencies were designed to provide. The growing regulatory landscape, as well as the need to comply with stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, have all contributed to this trend of centralization. Blockonomics provides a refreshing alternative to traditional centralized payment gateways by empowering global merchants and giving them complete control over their funds. The platform provides a secure and private payment solution for the growing number of businesses embracing cryptocurrencies by allowing merchants to retain complete control over their funds and eliminating the need for third parties. Why Blockonomics? Blockonomics, in stark contrast to the current trend of centralization, emerges as a beacon of decentralized finance for global merchants. Unsurprisingly, it offers a distinct set of features that set it apart from other payment gateways by restoring control to users. Firstly, Blockonomics facilitates direct-to-wallet payments, as opposed to traditional gateways that hold funds on behalf of users. Payments are deposited directly into the merchant’s wallet, giving them complete control over their funds. Furthermore, this approach eliminates the need for KYC documentation, protecting both merchants and customers’ privacy. In this way, merchants can benefit from accepting Bitcoin payments without jeopardizing their privacy or burdening their customers with lengthy identity verification procedures. Blockonomics also integrates seamlessly with a variety of e-commerce platforms, making it simple for merchants to begin accepting Bitcoin payments. Merchants can start using the service in under five minutes thanks to a simple setup process. Secondly, Blockonomics charges low transaction fees, allowing merchants to maximize their profits from Bitcoin payments. Blockonomics improves the financial viability of accepting cryptocurrencies by lowering the costs associated with payment processing. Moreover, recognizing the importance of dependable customer support, Blockonomics offers merchants round-the-clock assistance. Whether it’s a technical question or a payment-related issue, merchants can rely on Blockonomics to respond quickly. Next, Blockonomics provides dedicated plugins for most content management systems (CMS), including WordPress, OpenCart, PrestaShop and Shopify. These plugins simplify the integration process and ensure that merchants and their customers have a pleasant payment experience. Tracking, accepting, and invoicing BTC payments with Blockonomics Blockonomics goes beyond being a conventional payment gateway by providing additional tools to merchants to improve their crypto experience. For starters, merchants can easily track multiple wallets and addresses using Blockonomics’ wallet watcher feature. This feature gives merchants real-time visibility into transactions and allows them to receive email notifications whenever payments are made. In addition, merchants can seamlessly generate invoices in fiat currency and receive payments in Bitcoin using Blockonomics’ invoicing tool. This tool ensures that merchants are paid the correct amount based on the current Bitcoin price, simplifying the invoicing process and mitigating the risks of price volatility. So, what’s the verdict? In an era dominated by centralized payment gateways, Blockonomics takes a firm stance in support of cryptocurrencies‘ original vision, namely decentralization. Whereas most Bitcoin payment gateways have fallen victim to centralization and increased regulatory scrutiny, Blockonomics remains committed to providing the benefits of decentralized finance to global merchants. Blockonomics also has over 40,000 users worldwide and has established itself as a trustworthy, safe, and dependable partner for merchants looking to accept Bitcoin payments in their e-commerce stores.
