Bitcoin (BTC) has settled in a tight range above $5,200. The first digital coin slipped to $5,164 low during early Asian hours, however, fresh buying interest helped to push it back in the range. While the cryptocurrency market volatility has subsided, many experts believe that we are on the verge of a new bull’s market, supported by strong long-term fundamentals.

According to Dave Balter, chief executive of Flipside Crypto, cryptocurrency-related projects continue to develop at a good pace to offer businesses and customers real use cases.

“Prices may be rising, but it’s hardly the whole story. Maybe more significant, the fundamentals of crypto projects — their customer acquisition and retention, their product developer capabilities — have been on the rise through all of 2018 and continue to grow at a significant enough pace to determine these are real businesses with real outcomes ahead of them,” he commented
