Bitcoin dips; Binance står over for varme

Bitcoin faldt 0.69 % til 29,160 USD i løbet af 24 timer til 4:2.18 i Hong Kong, hvilket bringer dets ugentlige tab til XNUMX % ifølge CoinMarketCap data. Bitcoin har handlet under US$30,000 siden sidste onsdag. Verdens største cryptocurrency's handelsvolumen steg med 8.71%, men dens markedsværdi tabte 0.84% til 567.23 milliarder US$ inden for de seneste 24 timer.

"Bitcoins tidligere ry som et meget volatilt aktiv tiltrak handlende, der trivedes med hurtige prisudsving. Med faldet i volatiliteten er sådanne muligheder for væsentlige kortsigtede gevinster blevet mindre almindelige, sagde Nigel Green, grundlægger og administrerende direktør for finansforvaltningsgruppen deVere, i en e-mail-meddelelse mandag. 

"For investorer, der trives med volatilitet, kan det roligere vand på Bitcoin-markedet føles begrænsende. De skal tilpasse deres strategier til den nye normal, med fokus på langsigtede tendenser og holde positioner i længere perioder,” tilføjede Green. 

BNB, det indfødte symbol på den største kryptobørs Binance, faldt 1.92 % til 234.66 USD, hvilket viser et ugentligt fald på 4.17 %. Binance sagde det vil lukke sin cryptocurrency betalingstjeneste Binance Connect på onsdag på grund af "ændrede markeds- og brugerbehov."

Binance indgivet en beskyttende retskendelse mod US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) i mandags, der søger at begrænse agenturets "overbrede" anmodninger om oplysninger. SEC sagsøges Binance, dets amerikanske platform, og administrerende direktør Changpeng Zhao i juni for påstået brud på værdipapirlovgivningen.

Den samlede kryptomarkedsværdi faldt 1.31 % til 1.16 billioner USD, mens markedsvolumen steg 22.48 % til 32.08 milliarder USD.
