BabyDoge Coin (BabyDoge) – Where does it go from here

The moment coins start to get listed in major exchange platforms like Huobi; then you can expect some positive movements in the price. When news of the listing broke, BabyDoge in fact rose by nearly 13%. The coin continues to climb even further. At press time, it had added an additional 6% in value over the last 24 hours. 

Besides, Huobi is a huge exchange. The fact that it’s providing support for the meme coin means that other major exchanges will follow. We have also seen a lot of social media buzz around this coin.

Just recently, BabyDoge surged above 1 million followers on Twitter. It was also among the most purchased coins by 1000 of the biggest whales on the BSC chain. There is something cooking here no doubt, and it’s just a matter of time before it explodes.

Should you buy BabyDoge?

Well, meme coins can make you rich very fast, but they carry a lot of risks. Remember these are basically speculative assets that rarely have any significant underlying fundamentals. 

But as of now, BabyDoge looks like the hottest meme coin right now. We expect the coin to surge further as more exchange listings come in the near term. For this reason, it is a decent buy at this point in time.

Cardano (ADA) climbs after losses in two straight sessions – Is there enough growth upside

Cardano (ADA) has seen a lot of volatility in recent weeks. After hitting new lows during the January crypto slump, the coin has recovered a bit but lags behind some of the major coins in terms of gains. But is there any upside for growth? After all, the coin has traded in the red in the last two trading sessions. Here are some highlights:

  • At press time, Cardano had shown some signs of reversing the downward trend.

  • The coin is trading at $1 down about 4% in the last 24 hours.

  • Cardano has seen strong support at the $1 over the last few weeks.

Cardano (ADA) – what to expect in the coming days

Geo-political tensions in Eastern Europe have been playing a key role in influencing investor sentiment in crypto over the last few weeks. In fact, it is estimated that over $160 billion in crypto value has been lost due to this threat of war. For this reason, expect a lot of volatility around Cardano (ADA) in the days ahead. 

However, the key to watch here is the $1 support. Despite massive selling pressure, ADA bulls have held this support very well. If indeed the coin is able to keep the price action above $1, then a surge towards $1.5 is possible. But if we dip below $1, then there will be a significant additional weakness to come.

Is Cardano (ADA) a good buy today?

Cardano (ADA) has always been a good buy in the long term. But price volatility in recent weeks has made it a bit harder for investors to truly predict the direction of this asset. 

The truth is ADA is one of those few coins in the market that should be in your portfolio. It has a proven track record of delivering value, superb fundamentals, and a lot of credibility in the crypto space.

Fed adopts new rules barring officials from trading stocks, bonds and crypto

  • Federal Reserve officials and several other groups of employees will not be allowed to trade stocks, bonds and crypto such as Bitcoin starting May 1

  • Senior officials will need to give a 45-day notice and receive authorisation before trading any securities.

  • The restrictions were announced last October but have just been formally adopted.

The US Federal Reserve has officially prohibited Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members, senior staff and other employees from engaging in trading stocks, bonds and cryptocurrencies.

The move follows an earlier announcement released in October 2021, and which the central bank formally adopted on Friday, February 18, 2022.

The restrictions are set to take effect on 1st May and will see senior Federal Reserve officials barred from acquiring individual stocks or sector funds. The ban extends to individual bonds, commodities, agency securities, cryptocurrencies, and foreign currencies, the press release added.

Among other requirements, senior central bank officials will from 1 July, be expected to give 45-day advance notice before they undertake any trades involving securities. The purchase or sale will only proceed after the officials receive prior approval, and investments must be held for at least a year.

No purchases or sales will be allowed for Fed officials in “periods of heightened financial market stress.”

All officials listed in the notice have 12 months from 1st May “to dispose of all impermissible holdings,” while those to come under the restrictions at a later date will only have six months to dispose of such holdings.

Who else is prohibited?

Apart from FOMC members and regional Fed presidents, the restrictions affect research directors, FOMC staff officers, managers, and a cadre of other employees, their spouses and minor children.

Other staff will be added to this list after further review, the notice clarified.

Why the restrictions?

According to the release, the Fed seeks to inculcate “confidence” in the public regarding the impartiality and integrity of its officials.

The ban is also meant to guard “against even the appearance of any conflict of interest,” which has certainly been the view of many after several high-profile cases of alleged insider trading activity touching on Fed officials.

Fidelity Investments has launched a physical bitcoin ETP in Europe

Fidelity Investments has launched a physical bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETP) in what it says is the growing demand for digital assets among European investors. The fund is listed on Frankfurt’s Xetra and shall start trading on Zurich’s Six a few weeks from now.

Fidelity’s ETP comes three months after Invesco launched its bitcoin ETP following the increased interest for cryptocurrency investments among asset managers.

The ETP comes after Fidelity Digital Assets was awarded an official registration by the UK Financial Conduct Authority for its digital trading business and assets custody in late 2021.

Previously Fidelity Digital Assets was listed as a temporary member on FCA’s register but has now been moved to the permanent register of FCA.

In December 2021 Fidelity Investments launched a Canadian-based physical bitcoin ETF, which currently has about $30 million in assets.

Fidelity’s Physical Bitcoin ETP

Fidelity’s Physical Bitcoin ETP shall be available to institutional and professional investors in Europe and shall be domiciled in Germany. However, Fidelity Digital Assets, which is the digital assets arm of Fidelity Investments based in the US shall be the custodian of the ETP.

The head of Fidelity Investments Nick King said that the launch of the ETP was an important step in the company’s ETP offering and the first in offering digital assets products.

The ETP was launched with about $6 million worth of assets and shall have an ongoing charge of 0.75%.

Managing director for Europe at Fidelity Christian Staub said:

“Underlying distributed ledger technology has the potential to revolutionize the financial system over time and disrupt many parts of the financial world with profound implications for investors.”

Fidelity Digital Assets recently conducted a survey that showed that 70% of institutional investors looked forward to investing in digital assets soon. Also over 90% of those who participated in the survey said that they want digital assets that shall have an allocation within the next five years.

Bitcoin stares down $38K support level amid macro headwinds

Patience is a rare commoodity in the cryptocurrency space. It was only two weeks ago that Bitcoin rallied 15%+ to make the jump from $37,000 to near $42,000, but traders and retail investors soon became angsty at the rangebound motion of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency in the fortnight since.

“Do something!” was the prevailing sentiment across the Internet, as multiple rejections have occurred at the $43,000 resistance level over the last two weeks. But be careful what you wish for, as the yesterday’s latest pullback puts Bitcoin in position to go the other way, potentially testing the $38,000 support level.

Ukrainian tension

Of course, markets are largely in wait-and-see mode as the political climate is delicately poised across the globe. More specifically, Putin is playing the world’s most dangerous game of chicken at the Ukrainian border, with markets accordingly keeping a keen eye on developments in Eastern Europe. Crypto isn’t the only stakeholder, with the S&P 500 closing down over 2% yesterday as the doomsday scenario seemingly became significantly more likely. Bitcoin plummeted from near $44,000 to where it currently sits, just north of $40,000.

Rate Hikes

As if a potential World War III is not ghastly enough, the most feared two words in any investor’s lexicon have been getting a lot of airtime recently: rate hikes. Following January’s blowout inflation numbers, the highest since 1982, the market is now pricing in seven hikes in 2022. In other words, it’s last call at the bar and the lights are on – the party, hosted so graciously over the last couple of years by the Fed, looks like it’s about to end.

Ranging

One of the prime narratives pushing crypto’s surge has been that of the inflation hedge angle; a way to escape debasing fiat currency resulting from the aggressive money printing. With the Fed now indicating this hawkish turn, the inflation push factor is coming undone. Combining this bearish development with the politics in Europe, the notoriously volatile Bitcoin is a nervous place to be. 

Warren Buffet famously said “be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful”. Well, people are certainly fearful at the moment, and with Bitcoin one more red candle away from testing $38,000 resistance, it’s making an interesting close to the week. That $43,000 resistance looks a hell of a long way off right now.

We all know, however, that one comment from Putin, either one way or the other, could render all this moot. Against that backdrop, it’s not surprising to see Bitcoin range between that $38,000 – $43,000 space… for now.
