Gensler Talks, BTC Rebounds To $43K
Today, America’s financial regulators became the focus following the Evergrande real estate debt profile, which dominated airwaves yesterday.
BTC Circling $43K
Various metrics show that bitcoin price fluctuates around the $43K range as traders await news from the SEC chair, scheduled to speak with the media today. There haven’t been any significant changes to the BTC price today following a decline towards the $40K range early last month. Even though investors remained convinced of a strong rally, news of Evergrande’s debt issues still hovers around the crypto space.
In his latest broadcast, famous analyst Crypto Bullet revealed that he is still not utterly convinced about BTC’s current rally. He further said that until the leading digital asset reclaims the $45.5K support, BTC price action is still bearish. Today’s media chat by Gensler will affect the crypto space as his desire to maintain oversight functions over the crypto space is no longer a secret.
Rising BTC Reserves At The Exchange
Regarding China’s Evergrande real estate news, crypto traders opined that holding BTC long-term remains the goal. They also argued that BTC and other digital assets were created to make people’s investments unaffected by news events.
One of Decentrader’s top analysts, Phillip Swift, recently wrote that “we need to remind ourselves that macro uncertainties globally usually result in short-term selling pressure on the BTC. But the recent happenings worldwide are one crucial reason why BTC is important.” History shows that Mr. Swift’s bullish theory is a valid assumption.
Other analysts remarked that Q1 2020 provided the basis for the leading cryptocurrency to set a new peak price following a downward spiral to $3.65K. Hence, there should be less concern regarding increasing amounts of BTC on leading exchanges such as Binance.
Another top crypto analyst and trader, William Clemente, stated that “Binance’s increasing BTC balance indicates china selling. But this has been the case for several weeks now, but the inflows and outflows on all the exchanges combined are neutral for some days now.”
US Treasury Sanctions Russia-Based Suex Exchange
The exchange was alleged to have facilitated transactions for ransomware hacks to the tune of over $165m worth of BTC. This is the first time a US financial regulator will give any exchange such a label. According to the office of foreign assets control, the exchange helped with the movement of illegal funds from at least nine ransomware operations.
The agency observed that at least 45% of the top transactions facilitated by the exchange could be associated with such illicit transactions. This sanction means that it is illegal for any US resident or business to perform business transactions with this exchange. The Biden-led government has been increasingly interested in combating these software-related hacks after a series of high-profile ransomware-related operations at the beginning of the year.
Hackers usually request payment using digital assets since they know it is almost impossible to track such payments. The US treasury department received support from on-chain analytics firm, Chainlysis in investigating this Russia-based exchange.
