    Crypto Regulations in the News as Bitcoin Amid $30K: The Weekly Market Recap

    Author: George Georgiev

    Last Updated Jul 9, 2021 @ 16:48

    Bitcoin and the majority of the cryptocurrency market remain indecisive amid a global effort to strengthen industry regulations.

    Bitcoin failed to produce any notable gains over the past week, and the same can be said about the entire cryptocurrency market. It appears that the most recent regulatory clampdown in China and talks of legislation in other countries continue to take their toll.

    At the time of this writing, BTC is trading at around $33,500, which is more or less exactly where it was last Friday. It started pushing forward over the past weekend, but the advance was halted on Monday, at around $36K, when bears once again stepped in and brought the price down.

    Most altcoins are more or less in the same boat as BTC, with ETH charting insignificant gains of around 2%, ADA – 2%, DOT – 2%, and so forth. There are a few exceptions, however. On the negative side, DOGE is down about 11%, but on the flip side – BNB is up over 9%, whereas UNI surged by almost 20%.

    In general, the sentiment remains rather negative. According to the Fear and Greed Index, the market is presently riddled with extreme fear – a situation where investors are particularly fearful of entering the market.

    This happens amid a serious clampdown on behalf of authorities throughout the entire world. Yesterday, Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren called the market “highly opaque and volatile” and urged the Securities and Exchange Commission in the US to regulate it. Meanwhile, the People’s Bank of China warned that stablecoins impose risks to the international monetary system.

    Yet, the week was not without positive developments as well. The Bank of America became the latest US banking giant to lay down plans to enter the industry. This surely highlights the fact that there is demand, but investors continue to be wary.

    In any case, it’s also worth noting that zooming out shows us that BTC is still up tremendously over the past 12 months. However, we’re almost at the levels of the beginning of the year, so it’s important to see how the market will develop going forward.
