Bitcoin Steadies Near $54K After Biggest Drop in a Month
Bitcoin stabilized near $54,000 early Tuesday after posting its worst daily loss in almost a month.
- Bitcoin (BTC) was trading around $54,680 as of 12:50 UTC (8:50 p.m. ET), after falling late Monday to around $53,715, the lowest since March 16.
- The largest cryptocurrency fell 5.8% over the previous 24 hours, for its largest daily decline since Feb. 23, according to Bitstamp exchange data. Bitcoin’s 24-hour range: $53,795.15-$58,407.62 (CoinDesk 20).
- BTC’s 4-hour chart shows seller volume has been building alongside a falling price, a bearish signal for market technicians.
The drop below $55,000 comes as cryptocurrency fund inflows have been on the decline, down by roughly 58% to $99 million last week.
Trading volume was also strong from sellers on Monday, with the largest 4-hour print by the bears in over a week.
Ki Young Ju, CEO of the South Korea analysis firm CryptoQuant, says blockchain data show there’s “not enough buying power from stablecoins and U.S. dollar spot inflows” to drive prices vastly higher.
It could take some time before bitcoin enjoys another leg up, Ju said: “What’s clear is that we won’t see a huge surge like 20%.”

NFL Player Taylor Rapp Is Launching an NFT to Fight Anti-Asian Hate

Taylor Rapp, the free safety entering his third season in the National Football League, completely lacks the star power of a Rob Gronkowski or a Patrick Mahomes, marquee players who leveraged their splashy brands into multimillion-dollar NFT sales earlier this month. But the backfield starter, who said he’s been hustling with his co-creators for…

US Inflation Rate Accelerates in February, Could Go Higher as Economy Reheats
The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% in February, leaving it up 1.7% over the last 12 months, in line with economists’ expectations, a Labor Department report Wednesday showed. The 12-month rate represents an acceleration from January’s 1.4% clip, a pickup partly driven by higher gasoline prices, which rose 6.9% in February, accounting for over half of the seasonally adjusted increase in the all-items index, according to the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.1% in February, the report showed. That level was…

Can Decentralized Stablecoins Stabilize?
Decentralized finance (DeFi) idealists want to create perfectly free financial ecosystems that can’t be subverted by governments, corporations or regulators. They also want their decentralized nirvana to be equipped with stablecoins so users can be protected from price craziness. Therein lies the contradiction. J.P. Koning, a CoinDesk columnist, worked as an equity researcher at a Canadian brokerage firm and a financial writer at a large Canadian bank. He runs the popular Moneyness blog. Are decentralized anarchic systems, those that have no link to existing centralized institutions, capable of creating stability?…
