The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has hit a record-breaking $1 trillion for the first time since its inception.

The journey to this benchmark was led mostly by the market’s top cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), as institutional and retail investors continue to flock in droves.

Interest in from governments was also a factor in reaching this milestone as central banks across the world started to seriously explore using blockchain technology for digital versions of their nations’ currencies.

The cryptocurrency industry is establishing itself as a viable alternative investment by providing a technical framework for the future of money. This is happening at a time when many traditional assets and strategies are still suffering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

is Cryptocurrency establishing itself as a sound alternative investment, despite regulatory issues.

Faced with losses after the Securities and Exchange Commission declared XRP to be a security, the XRP community is petitioning the US government to declare it a currency.

We the people…
On Dec. 29, a petition on the US White House web site appeared regarding the fate of the Ripple Labs token XRP. The appeal asked the government to stand by a Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) determination that XRP is a currency.

At the time this report was published, about 10,000 people had signed the petition. To move forward, the petition needs 90,002 signatories.

Supporters launched the petition in response to a Dec. 23 action by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC charged Ripple Labs executives for selling unregistered securities (namely, XRP). Such sales totaled $1.3 billion, according to the charges.

Waves of Ripples
There are more than just charges that current CEO Christian Larsen and former CEO Brad Garlinghouse set up Ripple to sell XRP. The SEC also accuses the two of unregistered sales of XRP totaling about $600 million.

Garlinghouse announced the impending charges on Dec. 22, and staunchly defended his view that XRP was under attack for non-fundamental reasons. He pointed to the fact that Ripple had been operating on the market for eight years. Furthermore, he questioned the timing and motivation of the move. The SEC taking action in the last days of the Trump administration left the Biden administration holding the bag for the mess.

Without a doubt, decentralized finance (DeFi) has been the primary driver of crypto market momentum in 2020. Granted, bitcoin (BTC) made 200 per cent during the year and ethereum (ETH) over 380 per cent, but some of the DeFi-related tokens have surpassed those gains with monumental moon shots of their own.

Many of today’s DeFi-related coins did not exist at the beginning of the year as the scene has resembled a microcosmic explosion of new protocols and tokens all within a six-month period. Many of those tokens have resembled the pump and dump patterns that 2017’s altcoins went through, but some have performed solidly, and this article will highlight those high flying assets.

Early days of DeFi
There were not many DeFi-related tokens trading at the beginning of 2020, just a fraction of what had flooded the markets by the end of the year. Every new protocol needed its own governance token and they were mined like crazy by “degenerate farmers,” or degens as they became known, seeking a quick buck.

Naturally, the whales and insiders got considerably richer off this farming frenzy while the smaller retail traders seeking short term gains generally got burnt fingers. Investing into a new project just hours too late often resulted in a painful exit as those insiders made off with the loot, dumping the newly distributed tokens back onto the market.

do you agree with this article if DEfi is already performing well in 2020 ?

The Bitcoin (BTC) price made another all-time high breakout attempt on Dec. 23 but was rejected and has been decreasing since.

 

However, technical indicators are not all that bearish. Bitcoin is expected to reverse its trend at one of the support levels examined below.

Bitcoin Trend Weakens Slightly
Yesterday, the BTC price reached a high of $24,100 in another attempt at reaching a new all-time high. However, the higher prices could not be sustained. BTC was swiftly rejected and proceeded to drop back to $22,600.

Technical indicators have begun to show early signs of weakness, but are not close to confirming a bearish trend.

The MACD is in the process of creating the first lower momentum bar in nine days, but the daily candle has yet to close.

The RSI has generated a bearish divergence and has begun to fall. It may end up invalidating this with a hidden bullish divergence depending on the daily close. The Stochastic oscillator is still bullish and increasing.




Short-Term Movement
Lower time-frames show that BTC has broken down from an ascending support line and validated it as resistance after. In addition, it’s also facing resistance from the minor $23,950 area.

Bitcoin has broken the psychologic $20,000 barrier but can it continue its dramatic run? BeInCrypto revisits historic price advances as the alpha crypto powers ahead into price discovery.
Bitcoin’s First Major Rally
From November 2011 to January 2012, a Bitstamp chart showed one of the first-ever major short-term rallies in bitcoin. The emerging coin rose by 229%, from $2.25 to $7.33.

This was just the beginning and as impressive as the chart looked at the time, the real bull market just about to start.
The first authentic bitcoin bull market lasted roughly 740 days, a little over two years, and increased by more than 51,000%. The price rode the wave from $2.25 to $1,163 in true parabolic fashion.

The ethereum classic (ETC) blockchain’s hashrate has risen to 5.21 TH/S following the successful implementation of the Thanos hard fork in the early hours of Nov 29.

The hard fork, which was primarily intended to increase the chain‘s security by boosting its hashrate, appears to have succeeded.

The hashrate rose from 3.3TH/S pre-fork to 5TH/S in the hours following the fork.

Ethereum Classic: Thanos Hard Fork Background
The Ethereum Classic blockchain uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) whose main purpose is to prevent hash power centralization in the hands of ASIC miners by providing ASIC resistance that favors GPU miners.

According to ETC devs, this strategy was a success, evidenced later by the development of ASIC miners that could compete favorably with GPUs.

The problem, however, was that the DAG parameters were too aggressive, eventually rendering GPU miners obsolete on the ETC blockchain.

To fix this, the Thanos hard fork planned to reduce the size of the DAG file from 3.95GB to 2.47GB. This would bring GPU miners (rendered obsolete by the large file size) back into the game.

The fork also proposed to double the ETC mining period (epoch) from 30,000 blocks to 60,000 blocks, which would buy existing GPU miners at least another three years.
