Silvergate Concerns Grow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In recent days, Bitcoin has been trading over $22,400, firmly within the narrow range it has occupied since last week, when traders sold off $78 million worth of long bets in the face of worries about Silvergate Capital.<\/a><\/p>\n

Following the announcement of a 40% decrease in its personnel, the California-based company made a “risk-based” decision to stop its Exchange Network.<\/p>\n

Silvergate stated in a filing last week that recent developments, particularly the collapse of the FTX exchange and following regulatory measures, had raised concerns about the bank’s capacity to “remain as a going concern.”<\/p>\n

Other companies, like as Coinbase and Paxos, severed relations with the bank in the days that followed.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were relatively unchanged on Monday, hovering below previous levels out of worry that constraints on crypto-focused institutions could have an influence on the markets.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin’s price was trading sideways for most of the last week as the market continued to process Silvergate and prepared for what is expected to be encouraging economic news from China this week.<\/p>\n

Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer at digital asset investment firm Arca, wrote in a Monday newsletter that the stability of the cryptocurrency market in recent days suggests that last week’s price drop may have been the result of a single seller (or small group of sellers) rather than a market-wide panic.<\/p>\n

While BTC\/USD has been consolidating around $22,200, a break below $22,000 might trigger a more severe correction.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some analysts continue to forecast that BTC will reach $25,000 in the short term, with on-chain data indicating several causes for price volatility at higher levels.<\/p>\n

When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin.

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency.

Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food.
