Weekly Crypto News: A Recap of the Latest Developments
Hey everybody, thank you for coming back! It’s been a crazy week in the world of cryptocurrencies, and we’re here to recap all the important events and market updates. From the global crypto market cap to the latest news on Bitcoin and Ethereum, we’ve got you covered. So let’s dive in!
Market Overview: Crypto Market Cap and Dominance
The global crypto market cap currently stands at 1.04 trillion dollars, maintaining its steady growth. Bitcoin’s dominance in the market is at 48.3%, while Ethereum’s dominance remains around 19%. The total trading volume is relatively low at 15.3 billion dollars. Despite the stability, there are some interesting developments to watch out for.
State of Bitcoin: Short-Term Holder Realized Price and More
One important indicator to monitor is the short-term holder realized price (S-T-H-R-P). This metric shows the collective cost basis of Bitcoin recently transacted within the past 155 days. Breaking below this support level could indicate a bearish sign and potential selling pressure from short-term traders. Currently, the S-T-H-R-P lies around 28,000 dollars, and it’s crucial to keep an eye on this level for future price dynamics.
Bitcoin Fixes This: The Alternative to Real Estate
Bitcoin’s value proposition as an alternative to traditional assets like real estate is gaining traction. With the recent revision by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), US-based businesses can now mark Bitcoin on their balance sheets as fair value or mark to market. This change allows businesses to reflect the current market value of Bitcoin, encouraging more institutions and companies to adopt a strategy similar to MicroStrategy.
Ethereum ETF and Perfect Equilibrium
In other news, ARK Invest filed for an Ethereum ETF, becoming the first to do so. This move could pave the way for more ETFs focused on Ethereum in the future. Additionally, a recent analysis by IntoTheBlock Crypto shows a perfect equilibrium in Ethereum’s price action. A large concentration of ETH positions is transacting within a narrow range, creating a demand balance around 1625 dollars.
Layer Ones and Layer Twos: A Summary Dashboard
Keeping an eye on the growth and performance of different layer one and layer two solutions is crucial. Artemis provides a summary dashboard that allows us to scan all the layer ones and layer twos, identifying which ones are growing, which ones are shrinking, and which ones are doing more volume. This information helps us stay informed and make informed investment decisions.
Stock Market and Banking Crisis
The stock market sentiment is currently in No Man’s Land, with momentum indicators settling at a neutral level. As for the banking crisis, it’s far from over. Four major US banks, including Bank of America, JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, are facing unrealized losses totaling a quarter of a trillion dollars. The Bank Term Funding Program continues to bail out these banks, but the situation remains challenging.
Oil, Inflation, and OPEC
Oil prices have been on the rise, and this has significant implications for inflation. OPEC and OPEC+ are tightening crude oil supply, threatening more supply cuts. As oil prices drive inflation, it’s important to keep an eye on these developments and their impact on the overall economy.
Bricks and the Dollar
The relationship between the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and the US dollar is undergoing significant changes. Some believe that the recent events have the potential to change the world, with a growing divide between the West and the BRICS nations. This shift could have implications for the global financial system and may lead to increased interest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

First time watching from summer cottage. Greetings from Finland.
One of the best channels in crypto.
Great video once again
Great information thanks 🙏🏼
What do you think is more important to BTC the FASB change or the possibilities of a spot bitcoin ETF?
Thank you James
Great show
9:16 Good News, James! 🙂 FASB's mark-to-market accounting guidelines for bitcoin become mandatory in 2025. You can start using them any time before that if you want to.
We could see companies pivot to mark-to-market accounting for bitcoin as early as 2024q1.
And I half expect Microstrategy to start 2023q4, lol
Picked up a few shares of TSLA for my retirement account this week…
James, the 5% circulating supply- I can see how a large market purchase will increase the price. But how much is available for sale by OTC and direct from miners where large purchases could be made without driving the price up?
Running at the speed of government 🤣😂🤣
Love it all
thanks again James! Would love to see a vid on the potential consequences of the dollar being ditched by BRICs over medium-long term.
Much appreciated James and community!
Thanks guy on the internet lol
James did u sell ur Solana?😢
How can Mexico have such an opportunity for Tesla factory & manage to faff it??
Thank you, James You are the Best as always Big Alpha.
Love your channel! Did i understand 10:05 correctly…the traders colluded/agreed to set the price for ETH between those 2 amounts? im not a trader but guessing this is common practice…sounds a bit like anything else being manipulated…pretty sh*t! James, How come you seem pretty hapy about it isnt it a bad thing that this can happen…like with Gold manipulation? So in terms of manipilulation across the board, this can be done by traders & stakers, whales? is BTC any different? i.e., miners fixing price, whales fixing price…traders fixing price! is there any getting away from this manipulation or is it just part of the game no matter where you play?
Thanks James and team
Nice video please make a video about crust network $CRU
👍👍
Can you please explain the sudden drop in Solana this morning?
"oil goes up, inflation goes up?" wat?..oil does not control inflation. inflation is the excessive printing of money. rising prices are a consequence of inflation (money printing)
2:20 I would argue eth has less room to run, because we are going down.
6:35 price stability is likely due to bot trading
Home run, as always James
James is on fire 🔥 every day. His excitement to bring us information to help us make financial decisions and help us build wealth is palpable and awesome.. He’s a gem 💎 Thanks James !!
JP more than likely know They would wreck us while they prosper. Crooks they are. 👍🍀
Ty Sir. Great job.
🙏🍀🦋
Timestamps?
The FASB is effective in 2025 but companies can begin starting 2024 with a back dating the new policy for those companies who wish to begin earlier or for those early adopters. Watch Michael saylors video explaining this. That a big detail you left off.
That BRICS countries photo is wrong, the middle president is from Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
Great Kames thanks
This channel is way to positive. It's just bait, trying to trick you into buying something that's only going to keep dropping till the next cycle actually starts.
