Slight rally on Saturday for #Bitcoin, coming back down to CME close on Sunday.
CME closed at $47,490 on Friday, seems to be that we're going to open there too later today.
Meanwhile, the fear of intensifying regulatory crackdowns remains intact in the backdrop. On Friday, the New York Times termed the “rush to oversee stablecoins” coupled with the “industry’s lobbying push to either avoid regulation or get on its profitable side” as the “most important conversation in Washington financial circles this year.”
The New York Times coverage comes at a time when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and its Chair Gary Gensler move on widening the regulatory net to ensnare decentralized finance and stablecoins.
On the altcoin side, Litecoin Foundation director Jay Milla said that the number of active addresses on Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC) has surpassed that of Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: BCH) and Dogecoin.
Jay said on Twitter that the growth of wallet activity on the Litecoin network has risen to 450,000 exceeding that of other larger cryptocurrencies.
Meanwhile, Wormhole said over the weekend in an emailed note that the Ethereum-Solana bridge is now live.
Migration between ETH and SOL blockchains will be supported in Wormhole V2, V1 users will be able to exchange their assets for V2 assets at a 1-to-1 rate through the wormhole website.
“With over $150 billion TVL in the top five blockchains alone, the demand for cross-chain bridges for digital asset swaps and liquidity are becoming more and more in demand,” as per the note.
