The heads of some of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchanges say Bitcoin miners are shifting operations out of China as authorities intensify their crackdown on the space.
China’s moves had injected uncertainty into the cryptocurrency market and helped pull Bitcoin down to the lower end of its recent trading range, with the coin briefly falling below $30,000 this week after having reached nearly $65,000 in mid-April.
Dogecoin has found support from Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum. Hoskinson said that Dogecoin is a reasonable target for someone to fix it up and make it an interesting cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin range-bound
“The past 24 hours were an exciting buying opportunity for several patient investors. Several cryptocurrencies were available at a discount following the heavy selling during the past couple of days. This buying spree resulted in the overall crypto market cap going higher. Bitcoin remained range-bound, said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder, Mudrex.
“However, it managed to cross the $35,000 mark. Altcoins were the winner in terms of their massive rise over the past 24 hours. Ripple and Cardano were among the top gainers among the Altcoins,” he added.
