Crypto Turbulence: Examining Altcoins and Emerging Trends

DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW
Market Panic & ETF Outflows

Welcome Crypto Enthusiasts! It's a Gloomy Day in Crypto Town! ☔

The crypto market is bustling with panic and confusion as Bitcoin takes a dip below $63,000. Every major crypto seems to be feeling a bit under the weather too. But don't worry, we've got the scoop on what's causing this market meltdown!

It turns out the Bitcoin ETFs had a massive outflow day, with a whopping $154.3 million fleeing the scene. The real shocker? Grayscale's GBTC lost a mind-boggling $642.5 million! Talk about a bad day for the crypto kings!

On the positive side digital asset funds just can't get enough! Last week, they broke yet another record by raking in a staggering $2.92 billion in inflows.

Bitcoin continues to be the star of the show, accounting for a whopping 97% of all inflows this year. Ethereum, on the other hand, had a bit of a rough week with some outflows.

So, hang tight! The market may be a bit turbulent right now, but with whales like Fidelity diving into the crypto staking game, there's never a dull moment in Crypto Town. Just remember to HODL on tight and enjoy the ride!

Base & Aptos

The altcoin market has experienced significant turbulence over the past week, with most altcoins witnessing a decline of over 20%. However, such periods present prime opportunities to explore projects, given their cheap prices.

In the realm of cryptocurrency, it's crucial to track the flow of capital. Recently, Solana has been the main point of substantial trading volumes, driving the majority of profits. Yet, there's a noticeable uptick in liquidity within both Base Chain and Aptos.

Based on statistics we believe that Aptos, and particularly Base, might become the centers of activity in the coming months following Solana’s success.

Another reason for our belief in the shift towards Ethereum Layer 2 solutions like Base is the decrease in gas fees resulting from the recent Ethereum Dencun Upgrade.

This has made transactions on Base not only cheaper than $0.01 but also quicker than those on Solana.

On the other hand, Aptos is a bit different from Ethereum Layer 2 solutions like Base because it's its own main system, similar to how Solana works.

It's cheap and fast to use. Some big news expected in April might be why Aptos's price stayed strong when other prices were falling.

However, even though Aptos has some good points, it doesn't have as many projects built on it as Base does. Right now, there are just a few, like GUI (first meme coin on Aptos), Thala (borrowing platform), and Propbase (real estate project.).

Ivan On Tech - BITCOIN DUMPS VERY FAST!!! WARNING... I AM BUYING!!! (19.03.2024 Summary)

Folks, don't panic! Bitcoin is taking a little dip right now, but Ivan says this is actually an awesome buying opportunity in a bull market. He's gone full-on crypto Mr. Incredible, saying "Dips are for buying!"

• Ivan reminds us that breaking all-time highs is always a battle. Bitcoin has to fight off the big bad "Master Bear Boss" before it can confidently establish new highs. We're in the middle of this boss fight right now, with Bitcoin taking some hits, just like in previous cycles.
  

• But here's the kicker - after surviving these dip battles in the past, Bitcoin has gone on to make crazy gains, like 10x or even 20x its value in the coming years! So Ivan is saying buckle up and buy the dip, because once we slay this bear boss, we could be headed towards Bitcoin at $500,000 or even $1 million per coin in this cycle!
  

• Now, Ivan admits that might sound insane, but he's doubling down, saying even boring old banks are predicting a 3x market cap increase by 2025. And since Bitcoin tends to lead the pack, 3x for Bitcoin might mean over $200,000 per coin!
  

• So while the dip might have some people running scared, Ivan is staying crypto-strong, calling the dip a "discount day" like Black Friday sales. He's going to be popping crypto coins into his shopping cart left and right during this sale period.

In Ivan's world, the only certainty is that keeping cash gets you nowhere due to inflation. But crypto? That's a rocket ship he wants all of us strapped into for the coming moon mission! Dips and bumps ahead for sure, but Ivan is bullish like a starry-eyed crypto cowboy.

Benjamin Cowen - Bitcoin Dominance: One Shining Moment (19.03.2024 Summary)

Bitcoin is the boss in the crypto world right now. While some smaller altcoins have their moments where they do well, overall, Bitcoin is becoming more and more dominant.

• The main reason for this, according to Benjamin, is the current financial conditions. Interest rates are high, and there's less money floating around. In this kind of environment, riskier investments like altcoins tend to struggle, while Bitcoin, being a more established and stable crypto, holds its ground better.
  

• Benjamin thinks that altcoins will keep losing value compared to Bitcoin until the financial conditions ease up. Things like lower interest rates and more money being pumped into the system. Only then might we see an "altcoin season," where these smaller coins can outperform Bitcoin.
  

• For now, it looks like money is flowing from altcoins into Bitcoin, giving it more dominance. Benjamin expects Bitcoin to firmly take the lead in the coming months as altcoins continue to lag behind.

The core idea is that in the current tight financial conditions, Bitcoin is strengthening its position as the top crypto, while altcoins are losing steam. This trend may continue until financial conditions become more favorable for riskier investments like altcoins.
