IOTA (MIOTA) remains relatively bullish despite falling below the $1 mark

IOTA (MIOTA) has been trading below the psychologically crucial $1 mark over the last few days. However, looking at other technical indicators, the coin still has a bullish outlook. Once it breaks above $1, expect more gains to follow. Analysis to follow below but here are some highlights:

  • Despite falling under $1, MIOTA is still trading above its 20- and 50-day simple moving averages

  • At press time, the coin was trading for $0.95, down about 3% compared to the last 24 hours.

  • For any bullish rally to occur, MIOTA must test both the 100- and 200-day SMAs in the coming days.

IOTA (MIOTA) – Price analysis and prediction

For the last few days, IOTA has moved largely sideways. Although it has rallied with other crypto assets in the last week, we have seen the price action slow a bit with minimal volatility. 

But most investors are watching to see if the coin can cross over the psychologically crucial mark of $1. If this happens, it is likely that MIOTA will test the overhead resistance of $1.7. Even if it doesn’t cross that threshold, by simply getting near, investors could pocket gains of nearly 40% in the short term. 

Also, the RSI appears to support this bullish thesis. But if indeed MIOTA fails to cross $1, it will fall to the next support of $0.7 before it finds sufficient demand to surge again.

Is IOTA (MIOTA) a good coin to buy?

IOTA is a decentralised ledger that is not actually a blockchain. It is designed to offer the benefits of traditional blockchains without the added high fees and slow speeds. IOTA remains an underrated project, and as concerns for network efficiency rise in the future, its proprietary technology will be hot.

 At $2.2 billion in market cap, there is a very real chance that MIOTA could surge even further in the future. It is a great buy for long-term crypto investors looking to unlock value.

Coinbase partners OneRiver to launch a managed account for institutional investors

  • Coinbase Prime will power the new separately managed account ONE Digital SMA, the companies announced.
  • Brett Tejpaul, the head of Coinbase Institutional, said in a press release that the partnership with One River Digital will help the two firms “meet clients‘ evolving needs.“

One River Digital Asset Management and leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase have partnered to launch a new institutional-grade, separately managed account (SMA) for wealth managers and other institutional investors, according to a press release published Friday.

ONE Digital SMA will be powered by Coinbase Prime will offer a suite of digital asset investment strategies and services, which wealth managers can easily and directly access, the two firms said in a statement.

The platform also offers “an early look at the future of asset management in a financial system transitioning to blockchain-enabled infrastructure,” they added.

ONE Digital SMA, according to Coinbase, is for wealth managers intent on giving their clients direct exposure to crypto investing. The account will offer complete transparency and comes with other features such as staking.

Brett Tejpaul, Head of Coinbase Institutional, noted that the launch of the SMA has come at a time digital asset owners were increasingly moving away from research to digital implementation. In 2022, he added, customers were more inclined towards holding their digital assets in segregated accounts they control.

He also remarked that clients were more after investment management services that offer the same quality as that which they are accustomed to in legacy markets. 

The new offering will be crucial to meeting clients’ evolving needs and demands, the Coinbase executive noted.

“ONE Digital SMA is the best of both worlds – it delivers market-leading access and secure custody via Coinbase Prime and institutional grade investment products and services from One River Digital,” Tejpaul said.

One River Digital Asset Management is a leading asset manager with approximately $2.5 billion in institutional assets. The firm launched its services in 2013.

Loopring (LRC) – Can it return to $3

A run towards $3 for Loopring (LRC) is possible. However, it will not happen soon. But LRC can surge by 50% in the coming days. The key for the token would be to break the $1.2 overhead resistance. 

LRC has tested that threshold over the last few days and has been rejected on all occasions. But we are starting to see some decent upward momentum. 

It is likely that the coin will break $1.2 and after that rally towards $1.8 in the near term. This will bring gains of nearly 50% for investors. Besides, RSI indicators also show the momentum in the bull’s favour.

Why you must buy Loopring (LRC)

Loopring (LRC) is an Ethereum scaling solution designed to provide the infrastructure needed to build decentralised exchanges. It is one of the most promising crypto projects in the market today. 

With a market cap of around $1.4 billion, there is still so much to come from LRC. It is therefore a decent long-term investment especially now that it has fallen significantly from its ATH.

Uber will accept crypto ‘at some point,’ firm’s CEO says

  • Uber is having conversations about leaning into crypto, the firm’s chief executive Dara Khosrowshashi told Bloomberg on Friday.

  • But the company wants to see a less expensive, more environmentally friendly exchange mechanism, the Uber chief added.

The CEO of Uber, a ride-sharing company with a presence in most cities in the world, says the company will at “some point” in the future accept cryptocurrency payments.

Dara Khosrowshashi said this in an interview with Bloomberg on Friday.

He noted that the company continues to have conversations over the idea and that they “definitely” would go the crypto route when the time and conditions are right.

“So we’re absolutely watching it. And if you say, is Uber going to accept crypto in the future? Absolutely. At some point. This isn’t the right point, but we will.“

Explaining what the firm was looking at, the Uber chief pointed to the exchange mechanism. He said the current transaction mechanism is expensive and “not great for the environment.

“As the exchange mechanism becomes less expensive, becomes more environmentally friendly, I think you will see us lean into crypto a little bit more,” he told Bloomberg.

In his remarks, Khosrowshashi looked at Bitcoin as a good store of value.

Uber shares fell 7% on Friday after the company’s financial guidance missed analyst estimates. The firm’s projects adjusted profits for 2024 to come in at $5 billion, below forecast figures of $5.7 billion.
