Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, DeFi & Ripple – American Wrap 17 January


Bitcoin price still underwater as Grayscale moves $1.35 billion worth of BTC to Coinbase since spot ETF assent

Bitcoin (BTC) price slipped below the confines of an ascending parallel channel, which has been the governing chart pattern since around mid-October when the cryptocurrency market turned bullish. It comes after the January 12 crash, following revelations that Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) was dumping.
Recent research by on-chain aggregator IntoTheBlock shows that the majority of exploits in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space are the result of unaudited projects. With this, the study concludes that while an audit may not guarantee safety, it should certainly be a minimum requirement for DeFi protocols.
 

SBI Holdings is an ally of cross-border payment remittance firm Ripple. The firm unveiled plans to issue Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) assets on the XRPL chain, according to a document from a recent meeting. 

XRP price has been in a downward trend that started in November 2023. The altcoin’s recovery is likely to be catalyzed by bullish developments in the ecosystem.
