Data shows that larger populations, available labor, high unemployment, and electricity access drive crypto adoption. Discover why some countries eagerly adopt digital assets while others hesitate. The mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies has long been a topic of interest within the crypto community. Regardless of whether someone is a Bitcoin or Ethereum maxi, almost everyone can agree on the fact that wider adoption across the globe will go a long way for the future of the industry.

Ethereum’s (ETH) Old Wallet Activity Spikes After Hitting $1,540

Image
ETH’s price decline coincided with a notable movement of long-held ETH from older wallets, according to data from Santiment. This suggests that long-term ETH investors may be starting to capitulate and exit their positions. Earlier today, Ethereum made an attempt to regain ground above $1,580, but bears quickly countered this move. The market intelligence platform Santiment shared in a Twitter (X) post today that Ethereum (ETH) recently experienced a significant drop in value, hitting a low of $1,540, which is a level not seen since 12 March 2023. What is particularly interesting is that this price decline coincided with a notable movement of long-held ETH from older wallets. This shift in the ownership of stagnant ETH suggests that long-term investors may be starting to capitulate and exit their positions possibly due to the ongoing price drop, according to the post. This phenomenon was further underscored by the decreasing mean age of Ethereum tokens in cir

Image
The crypto-verse has existed for years now, and the industry has seen several highs and lows. Despite this, 2022 would certainly go down as one of the worst years for cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin remains stuck in a range, but certain altcoins are showing signs of breaking down soon. The bulls tried to shake Bitcoin from its slumber on Sept. 7, but the rally was short-lived. This suggests a lack of clarity between the bulls and the bears about Bitcoin’s next directional move. Analyst CryptoCon said on X (formerly Twitter) that Bitcoin could remain in a “mid-cycle lull” until the next bull run in November 2024. Along similar lines, ARK Invest said in a report that cryptocurrencies could continue to face headwinds in the remainder of 2023 due to several macroeconomic issues, such as interest rates, gross domestic product estimates, unemployment and inflation.
