Hello, Asia. Here is what is news on the markets:
Welcome to the morning briefing in Asia, a daily summary of the best stories during the hours and an overview of market movements and analyzes. For a detailed overview of the American markets, see the Americas of the Coindesk Crypto Daybook.
While Asia is starting its negotiation day, the ETH is negotiating above $ 4,600, up 10% in the last 24 hours, because the possibility of a drop in rate in September on the market. Some traders probably see ETH could quickly challenge its $ 4,876 summit in 2021.
Polymarket bettors go further; They believe that $ 5,000 is possible before the end of August, and they also give 28% chance that the price of the asset crosses $ 5,800 before the end of the month.
The overvoltage has contributed to reducing the domination of Bitcoin by 65% to 59% while traders run in altcoins.
In a recent report, Glassnod analysts wrote that ETH was now approaching the band +1 standard deviation “Active price” around $ 4.7,000, a level that sparked a large sale in past cycles.
But behind the scenes, there is a growing liquidity well that could weigh heavily on the next ETH growth phase.
A new cryptocurrency report shows that Ethereum serves more and more liquidity source for the USDT ecosystem of Tron.
On August 9, cryptocurrencies showed that a record value of $ 7.7 million was over to Tron and converted into USDT, while June 25 saw $ 19 million of ERC20 tokens, mainly USDC, take the same step.
The entrances of Tron to Ethereum remain minimal, highlighting a flow of one -way value which supports the economy of the stalcoin of tron but siphons the liquidity of the native of Ethereum activity.
Over time, persistent outings can weigh on demand in the place and reduce income from Ethereum and the rewards of staggered as a larger part of the Stablecoin economy erases elsewhere.
If this trend persists, the role of Ethereum could more and more resemble that of a layer of wholesale financing, fueling liquidity for rival networks rather than capturing transactional activity itself.
This dynamic may not derail the current short -term rally, but it could limit the sustainability of higher evaluations if the capital leak towards faster and cheaper settlement layers as a continuous tron without control.
But for the moment, the market has its eyes on $ 5,000 in Eth.
