Bitcoin Ordinals see resurgence on Binance listing

The ORDI token, which was not developed by the creator of Bitcoin Ordinals, has surged by 41% in the past 24 hours. Ordinals, a BRC-20 token collection minted on the Bitcoin blockchain, have surged by 40.8% in the past 24 hours to $10.19 after listing on crypto exchange Binance.

3 things to look out for Bitcoin in November

Image
Late in October, Bitcoin (BTC) finally ended its lengthy period of stagnation and decisively broke above $30,000 even managing to find itself over $35,000 on several occasions in the previous 7 days. It has, however, so far failed to continue its surge and is trading just below $35,000 at the time of publication. Despite Bitcoin’s current refusal to make a strong movement – either upward or downward – there has been a lot of action pertaining to the world’s foremost cryptocurrency and plenty of reasons why November may prove to be a very significant month alongside ‘Uptober’. Watch out for sudden movements While BTC has mostly been maintaining a stable price in the first full week of November, many believe that we are witnessing an accumulation phase before the next breakout.  The rally in late October refocused the public eye on the world’s largest cryptocurrency and reignited enthusiasm for the broader market – and the behind-the-scenes data corroborates this trend.

Ready for lift-off: The second leg of 5th crypto bull market begins

Image
Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice. The content and materials featured on this page are for educational purposes only. Crypto traders have seen the highs and lows of four crypto bull markets in the past. With Bitcoin (BTC) doubling from its recent lows, we have concluded the first part of this fifth bull market and have reached a critical juncture. Up until now, Bitcoin dominated, but as this bull market progresses, we will likely see altcoins outperforming as crypto traders are becoming more confident that this bull market has many months left. What is changing? After many quarters of declining revenues for the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem, those revenues are bottoming out from depressed levels; this could signal a tradeable bottom for ETH. While revenues have only climbed back into the summer 2023 range of $30 million in weekly fees, the shocking number of just $12.1 million during the week of Oct. 9 might be behind us.

TradFi gets crypto boost: Renegade joins Cointelegraph Accelerator

Image
Cointelegraph Accelerator welcomes Web3-friendly fintech platform Renegade to its program. As the crypto industry continues to grow, it becomes increasingly intertwined with traditional finance (TradFi) to the benefit of end users. TradFi is notoriously slow, inefficient and expensive. International wire transfers, which take days and double-digit dollar fees in most cases, are a perfect embodiment of the current state of traditional finance. By comparison, decentralized finance (DeFi) has the potential to provide similar services, including fund transfers, payments and storage, much quicker and at lower costs. However, the majority of financial technology (fintech) applications offered by TradFi services win the users in terms of user experience and simplicity, leaving the unnecessarily complex and obscure DeFi apps with limited adoption. Mainstream users require a friendly experience and easy-to-use applications to dip their toes in decentralized waters before becoming full-fledged
