Uniswap, Aave, Synthetix Continue to Slip Lower in Face of Bitcoin Bump

Top coins in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space such as Uniswap’s UNI and AAVE have slipped lower even as Bitcoin inches higher. Most top DeFi coins have dropped approximately five percent in the past 24 hours as per CoinGecko while Bitcoin has gained over 2%. The leading cryptocurrency briefly traded above the pivotal $14,000 resistance level today but has since dropped due to large sell orders in the $14,000 range.

Strong Fundamentals Contadict Drop in Coins Such Uniswap, Aave, & More

The strong decline in the coins of top DeFi players such as Uniswap, Aave, Synthetix, and Yearn.finance is contradicted by fundamentals. The fundamentals of the decentralized finance space have only strengthened over recent weeks and months, confusing investors in the space.

Head of DTC Capital Spencer Noon noted that while top coins are down by over 60% from their highs, the “most important indicators” of the health of DeFi are pushing new all-time highs:

“Despite a month that saw most tokens fall 50% or more, #DeFi is *still* at ATHs with its most important indicators… Don’t listen to the degens who burned out. Phase 2 of this #DeFi bull market will make this summer look like nothing… And yes, I believe burnout played a major factor in the recent DeFi drawdown. Farmers spent 3 months making serious gains but with barely any sleep. When the market naturally corrected, anecdotally many of my farmer friends decided to hit the sidelines out of sheer exhaustion.””

This was echoed by analysts like Jack Purdy of Messari. On-chain trends show that a large amount of capital continues to enter DeFi contracts to be used in the ecosystem.

More Losses to Come

Despite this, some fear that more losses are to come for this market due to the losses being seen in Uniswap, Aave, Synthetix, and Yearn.finance.

Qiao Wang, a prominent crypto-asset analyst, recently commented on the matter:

“I constantly update my views and unfortunately it looks like there’s going to be more pain in DeFi. Originally I thought we won’t see an 80–90% crash which is typical of alts because of the level of sophistication of DeFi investors but that thesis is being invalidated.”

He explained that due to the weak performances of top DeFi tokens, other assets pertaining to the space will drop by affinity.

Analyst Lays Out Theory That Suggests A 290% Move In Cardano (ADA) Before Rally Is Over

Cardano (ADA) has no doubt has an interesting couple of weeks leading up to this point. The digital asset has hit multiple new all-time highs as the rally raged on. Only now slowing down but still well above its last all-time high set in May of this year. The slowdown has seen the price of the asset lose its footing over $3, causing it to crash down below $2.70 for the first time in over a week. This loss of momentum has led the market to believe that the asset might be nearing the end of its rally. But not everyone thinks so. Analyst Jason Pizzino has predicted that the altcoin still has a bit of fight left in it, predicting a 290% move before the end of this current bull cycle. An increase of this magnitude would put the price of ADA at nothing less than $7, solidifying its claim as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The Theory Behind The Prediction Jason Pizzino took to his YouTube channel to share his prediction with his over 200K subscribers. The prediction complete...

Coinbase reportedly hits pre-IPO valuation of $100 billion in private auction

The major exchange is inching closer to a public offering. Prominent Bitcoin ( BTC ) and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase could be headed for an IPO valuation of $100 billion, after shares reportedly sold for up to $375 each in a private auction. Shares in Coinbase Global Inc. reportedly traded for a price between $350 and $375 per unit on the Nasdaq private auction market last week, giving the company a pre-IPO valuation of between $90–$100 billion, according to a report by Bloomberg. Trading reportedly ended with the share price at $350. A Coinbase series E funding round in 2018 first saw the stock valued at a potential $8 billion. That valuation increased as shares were then privately traded at a price of $200 on a private forum created by Coinbase in January. The company was deemed to hold a valuation of roughly $50 billion at the time. The price of privately traded shares is partly used to set a reference price for the stock when companies finally go public on the Nasdaq pla...

Korean crypto ‘Jedi Master’ plans to launch second VC blockchain fund

Blockchain VC investment firm Hashed is seeking $173 million for a second fund. One of South Korea’s leading blockchain evangelists is embarking on another huge blockchain fundraise following the success of his first. Simon Seojoon Kim is planning to raise $173 million for a second blockchain fund following the success of the initial one which netted $120 million from investors in December 2020 . Specifics regarding the new fund and its potential investors are thin on the ground however. Kim, dubbed “the Jedi Master of cryptocurrency” by Sean Park, a senior partner at Hong Kong-based Boston Consulting Group, co-founded the blockchain and crypto venture capital firm Hashed in 2018. The firm invests in crypto startups to enable them to grow through staff expansion, partnerships and marketing. It has attracted big-name financiers such as Naver, South Korea’s third-largest company by market value, which invested $12 million in the first Hashed blockchain fund. The Seoul-based compan...
