In the news, Binance faced liquidity issues while Bitcoin clashed with a sheriff’s office over a mining operation. Meanwhile, regulatory woes continue to impact the market, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin trading mixed.
On a positive note, BlackRock’s ETF news boosted Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin. However, the market reacted negatively to Jerome Powell’s comments on future rate hikes, leading to a drop in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.
Despite these challenges, some analysts foresee a 100x growth for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin post-CPI data. However, others have sounded a mayday after a crypto crash ahead of CPI data.
