🗞 Market Wrap: Bitcoin Drops to $29.9K While DeFi Hits Record $29B Locked

Spot prices in bitcoin are sliding as investors get distracted by other market opportunities. Those include in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, which hit a record level of value locked on Tuesday.

  • Bitcoin (BTC) trading around $31,600 as of 21:00 UTC (4 p.m. ET). Slipping 1.2% over the previous 24 hours.
  • Bitcoin’s 24-hour range: $29,298-$32,939 (CoinDesk 20)
  • BTC above the 10-hour but below the 50-hour moving averages on the hourly chart, a sideways signal for market technicians.

The U.S. dollar index, or DXY, a measure of the greenback versus a basket of other government currencies, is in the green 0.52% at press time after a volatile day and an over 7.3% total decline over the past year.

On the institutional side, notional activity on LMAX, known for spot trading by larger-order players, has declined since BTC’s last $30,000 price point crossover on Jan. 20. However, it was on an uptrend according to Tuesday’s closing data from CoinDesk subsidiary TradeBlock. It’s worth noting that over the past month, notional value, which represents the total value of positions, seems to spike nicely with price gains.

Value locked in DeFi increases over 2,900% in past year

🗞 WallStreetBets Fever Hits Dogecoin, Price Soars 142%

The price of dogecoin (DOGE) more than doubled overnight around the time a popular Twitter account from a WallStreetBets trader mentioned the meme-loving cryptocurrency in a tweet.

The Reddit-based trading community known as r/WallStreetBets discusses stock and options trading and has made headlines in recent days after causing havoc in the financial market by pumping stock and causing major headaches for short sellers.

The “WSB Chairman” Twitter account, which has quickly gained almost 400,000 followers and says it is not associated with the Reddit group, tweeted Thusday: “A lot of you are talking about Dogecoin. What’s that? A meme crypto?” In another tweet they asked: “Has Doge ever been to a dollar?”

🗞 Grayscale prepares for DeFi future with new cryptocurrency trust filings

The largest Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency asset manager in the world, Grayscale, could be set to move into the decentralized finance space after filings for several new trusts were filed in the Delaware corporate registry.

New trust filings for Aave (AAVE), Polkadot (DOT) and Cosmos (ATOM) were filed on Jan. 27. On the same day, Grayscale also registered trusts for Cardano (ADA), as well as privacy coin, Monero (XMR).

Grayscale has since stated that the filings are not indicative of a definite product launch for the five coins mentioned, merely that the firm is laying the groundwork for possible future launches.

“Occasionally, we will make reservation filings, though a filing does not mean we will bring a product to market,” the company has told industry media.
