Crypto at a glance
Ethereum continues to dominate the headlines, rising another three percent in the past 24 hours. It currently changes hands at around $ 3,300 – a 30 percent gain over that time last week. It now has a larger market cap than Mastercard, PayPal, and Bank of America. Will it continue the same way? Can it Really Flip Bitcoin?
CONTINUE READING: Could Ethereum Overtake Bitcoin?
There are a number of factors driving Ethereum’s recent surge. The use in DeFi and NFTs initially gave the use cases a new meaning. A number of commentators also point to the recent decision by the European Investment Bank (EIB) to publish its first sale of more than $ 100 million in digital bonds on the Ethereum blockchain. The move has led some to claim that the financial market is ready to adopt crypto technology. Will they prove right?
It’s less good news for Bitcoin, even though the still leading cryptocurrency continues to make gains. The asset hit $ 58,973.31 yesterday, its highest level since April 18, but has fallen to just below $ 56,000 today. Can it break out of this area? How much longer can it be between $ 50,000 and $ 60,000?
Considering the dominance of Ethereum, there is an unusually large amount of red. Only Binance Coin (BNB), Litecoin (LTC) and Doge currently fit in with it. Dogecoin is now the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Is the joke still funny?

Everyone has regrets …
In retrospect, it’s easy to say. But my uncovered signing bonus of $ 12,000 in 2017 would now be worth more than $ 250,000 if paid in #Bitcoin
