The crypto market was higher this morning, with the majority of top 10 cryptos registering gains.

Top cryptos

Bitcoin was up around 4% at time of writing, trading above $31,000. Ethereum climbed around 6%, and XRP registered gains of around 5%. Cardano showed the most significant gains, jumping around 25% as the Vasil hard fork approaches. 

Top movers

According to a current promotion, it’s possible to earn big with Axie Infinity Original. 

Yesterday, Yahoo Finance reported that London-based cryptocurrency payments firm Merge raised a $9.5 million seed round led by Octopus Ventures. 

Among the investors were Coinbase Ventures, the founders of Aave, Alameda Research, Hashed, the founders of Polygon, and the CEO of Ledger. 

On the losing end, Tezos is down around 4% and Elrond and ApeCoin are both down around 3%.

Here’s where to buy Super Mario, the token of the exciting new game

Super Mario (MARIO) is an untracked crypto coin and little information about it is available. We wrote this article with the aim to explain the details about Super Mario: what it is, is it worth investing in, and the best places to buy Super Mario now.

Top places to buy Super Mario now

As MARIO is such a new asset, it’s yet to be listed on major exchanges. You can still purchase MARIO using a DEX (decentralised exchange) though, which just means there are a few extra steps. To buy MARIO right now, follow these steps:

1. Buy ETH on a regulated exchange or broker, like eToro ›

We suggest eToro because it’s one of the world’s leading multi-asset trading platforms, an exchange and wallet all-in-one with some of the lowest fees in the industry. It’s also beginner-friendly, and has more payment methods available to users than any other available service.

2. Send your ETH to a compatible wallet like Trust Wallet or MetaMask

You’ll need to create your wallet, grab your address, and send your coins there.

3. Connect your wallet to the Uniswap DEX

Head to Uniswap, and ‚connect‘ your wallet to it.

4. You can now swap your ETH for MARIO

Now that you’re connected, you’ll be able to swap for 100s of coins including MARIO.

What is Super Mario?

Super Mario is a blockchain-based game with the token MARIO, running on the Ethereum Mainnet. In the game, the player tries to find and rescue Princess Peach, but to do that, they must defeat a villain called Bowser.

The dangerous trek and battles take place in so-called Mushroom Kingdom. The different realms of the game all have their own major battle. 

After each realm is cleared, holders of MARIO will be rewarded through airdrops. Players also get rewards in the token POW as stimulus to fight “harder.”

Should I buy Super Mario today?

Considering how hard it is to come up with an accurate cryptocurrency prediction, you should never make any decisions affecting your finances before an in-depth market analysis. Don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.

Dogecoin up 5%: it’s trending on news of soon being accepted for SpaceX merchandise

SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has noted that the company will start accepting Dogecoin (DOGE) payments for its merchandise. The news comes after Tesla, another Musk’s company, started accepting Dogecoin payments for its merchandise sometimes back. 

Musk tweeted:

“Tesla merch can be bought with Doge, soon SpaceX merch too.”

On both occasions, Musk’s comment has caused the famous and largest meme coin by market cap to rally.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin (DOGE) was trading at $0.08549 up from a low of $0.07936 on Friday, May 27.

When will SpaceX’s DOGE payments start?

Musk said that the payment option to purchase SpaceX merchandise will be available soon but he did not state specifically when it will be made available to the general public.

When he was asked if SpaceX will enable their customers to pay for Starlink internet connection with DOGE he said:

’’Maybe one day’’

Besides, last year May 10, SpaceX started accepting full payment for a lunar mission, “DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon,” using Dogecoin.

Musk stated:

“Dogecoin would become the first cryptocurrency in space.”

Highlights May 30: Week opens with impressive bull run of the crypto market

The crypto market is booming with all top 100 coins in the green at the time of writing. 

Top cryptos

Bitcoin gained almost 6% in the last 24 hours, trading above $30,000. The second-biggest crypto, Ethereum, added 8% to its value in that time and has almost reached $2,000 per one ether. The biggest top 10 gainer is Cardano, up 12%.   

Cryptos outside the top 10 also fared very well. Avalanche, Polkadot, and Shiba Inu have all gained more than 10% today. 

Top movers

Outside the top 20, the tendency was similar, with many coins adding as much as 15% to their value. Notable standouts include Helium with 20%, STEPN with 28%, Waves with 37%, and Arweave with gains of 18%.  

On May 28, the Helium community launched a HIP 51 vote, which introduces a framework to unlock massive utility on the blockchain by enabling any network to join the ecosystem alongside IoT, such as 5G, Wi-Fi, and VPN.

STEPN drew the ire of Chinese regulators over data privacy issues, but the associated losses were short-lived. 

According to Business Insider, fitness tracking apps are known to be problematic from a privacy perspective, and for China, the crypto angle just makes it worse.  

Waves is the biggest winner of the day without a doubt. Its founder Sasha Ivanov tweeted about a liquidity crunch on Vires Finance, where several accounts were close to defaulting. This sent Waves’ token’s price down a few days ago. 

Ivanov then tweeted he planned to create a proposal on Vires that would move the debt and remaining collateral of these accounts to his own account, reversing the coin’s price trend.  

At the time of writing, no cryptos had lost value, except a few stablecoins losing up to a few hundredths. Efforts to save TerraUSD have failed and this stablecoin’s market cap no longer ranks it in the top 100. 

The LUNA token of the new Terra 2.0 blockchain seemed promising when it launched on Saturday, but it lost over 70% within a day. It has been flat in the last 24 h, changing hands for around $6. The old LUNA, now LUNC, continues to decline.  

Trending

The biggest winner today is Mercor Finance, trading for $0.0199, up 473% in the last 24 hours. This platform enables developers to create a trading algorithm coded in Python. 

If they are happy with their creation, they can deploy the algorithm onto the platform.

Buy LUNA with Binance today

What is LUNA?

Terra (LUNA) is a public blockchain protocol derived from what’s now known as Terra Classic, the cryptocurrency associated with the algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST). 

Renamed to LUNC, the original LUNA crashed in May 2022. It is now virtually worthless. The creators of Terra, Terraform Labs, created a new blockchain, and hence the new LUNA. The new Terra blockchain is not linked to the UST stablecoin. 

It hopes to keep growing with the help of supports from the LUNA community and build on the world-class user interface and experience that propelled Terra Classic to the top 10 biggest coins by market cap and to second place in TVL at its peak. 

Should I buy LUNA today?

LUNA can definitely be worth investing in if your timing is right. Unfortunately, this is often impossible to know in advance. Any investment decision should take your risk tolerance into account. Don’t take any price predictions at face value.

LUNA price prediction

Practically no price predictions are available considering how recently this token was launched. 

Crowd Wisdom quotes one Peter Loter as tweeting that LUNA is in a triangular formation, which is a neutral indicator. In the event of a bull run, this tendency is likely to continue.
