A widely followed crypto analyst says that investors should continue hanging on as we are nowhere near the start of the next crypto bear market. In a new video update, Guy Turner, the host of Coin Bureau, tells his 2.66 million YouTube subscribers that the markets are still way too bullish for traders to be thinking about a bear market starting anytime soon, despite the industry taking a “pounding” recently. According to Turner, we’re still very much in Bitcoin (BTC) season as BTC dominance is still on the rise. He notes that when it comes time to flip to altcoin season, which appears to be coming soon, the top 10 altcoins by market cap will likely see the most inflows. “Bitcoin dominance continues to climb… Taking a look at the altcoin season indicator, we’re still clearly in Bitcoin season, but you’ll also notice that we’re also at levels where this trend has historically reversed, with more money flowing into altcoins. ...

The South Korean crypto exchange Upbit has announced a new listing for a wallet-focused altcoin, triggering explosive price action. According to a new announcement, Upbit is supporting Wallet Connect (WCT) for trading over the Optimism (OP) network on its platform starting Wednesday. The project, launched in 2018, is a Web3 communications open-source protocol that aims to connect crypto wallets to decentralized applications (DApps) through encrypted connections using QR code scanning and deep linking. “Traditionally, connecting wallets to apps on the blockchain required complex steps, which often discouraged new users and created a fragmented ecosystem. WalletConnect simplifies this by offering a universal connection method compatible across hundreds of wallets and thousands of apps.” WCT is the native token of the WalletConnect network, which is used for staking, rewards, fees and governance. The initial supply of WCT tokens is capped at 1 billion, ...

A cryptocurrency researcher has come forth with a bold and troubling claim — dubbing XRP the ‘biggest financial scam the world has ever seen’. The analyst in question, Aylo, an alpha please researcher, made the claim in a March 21 X post.

Ripple’s XRP token faced significant hurdles over the last few years. The asset failed to gain momentum even during the 2021 bull run. XRP’s lackluster performance over the last few years was likely due to the lawsuit with the SEC. The financial watchdog accused the fintech company of selling unregistered securities. The company had a partial victory last year. The win led to a substantial boost in investor sentiment. While the lawsuit is still ongoing, many anticipate the asset to come out on top.
