Nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea has announced the launch of a Web3 marketplace protocol for “safely and efficiently buying and selling NFTs.” In a Friday blog post, OpenSea said the marketplace protocol, dubbed Seaport, will give users the option to obtain NFTs by offering assets other than just payment tokens like Ether (ETH). According to the platform, a user “can agree to supply a number of ETH / ERC20 / ERC721 / ERC1155 items” in exchange for an NFT, implying bartering a combination of tokens as a method of payment. In addition, Seaport users can specify which criteria such as …

Cosmos TVL down from $10M to $155K ATOM's price increased by over 10% intraday to almost $12.

Avalanche (AVAX) has emerged as one of the worst-performing cryptocurrencies among the top-ranking tokens in the last 24 hours, partially due to fears connected to Terra (LUNA) and it's a near-dead UST algorithmic stablecoin project. Avalanche price dips amid Terra's tax evasion FUD AVAX's price plunged by nearly 14% between May 18, where it traded near $35 to May 19 when the price dipped to $28.50. The dip coincided with a South Korean news agency report that claims Terraforms Labs, the developer of the Terra blockchain, owes 100 billion won (approximately $78.5 million) to the regional tax agency. #Terra owes …

Technical analysis suggests that a recent uptrend in the price of Aave (AAVE) is showing signs of exhaustion based on the early development of a classic bearish reversal pattern. Is AAVE headed to $70? Dubbed a "rising wedge," the pattern surfaces when the price rises inside a range defined by two ascending, converging trendlines. As it happens, the trading volume declines, pointing to a lack of conviction among traders when additional buying is needed for continued upside momentum. Therefore, falling wedges typically result in a bearish breakout where the price breaks below the pattern's lower trendline and falls by as …

What is peer-to-peer (P2P) trading? Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading is a type of cryptocurrency exchange method that allows traders to trade directly with one another without the need for a centralized third party to facilitate the transactions. Unlike traditional Bitcoin (BTC) exchanges, which typically have strict regulations and require users to go through a verification process before they can access and use the platform, P2P trading platforms tend to be much more relaxed in terms of their requirements. In P2P trading, you can select your preferred offer and trade directly with a counterparty rather than using an automated engine to execute …

With nonfungible tokens (NFTs) quickly rising to value, more and more people want to go all-in on this asset class. But, as any wise investor would encourage, the value of investing is in diversification. Leveraging this strategy, investors can balance short-term risks with a well-diversified portfolio while exposing it to the most long-term growth potential. The only downside is that tracking these assets, which are often managed on different applications, is another story. Retail investors have to juggle multiple financial apps to stay on top of the market, making it nearly impossible to get an overarching view of their investments. …

Nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, are turning out to be a treasure store with prices striding into the millions of dollars. Instances of an NFT garnering more than $69 million or a tweet fetching $2.9 million are not a fantasy, but an incredible reality.

Prompted by the plentiful talk about NFTs, stars like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Eminem, Grimes and many …

Ethereum’s native token Ether (ETH) looks ready to undergo a breakdown move in May as it forms a convincing “bear pennant” structure. ETH price to $1,500? ETH’s price has been consolidating since May 11 inside a range defined by two converging trendlines. Its sideways move coincides with a drop in trading volumes, underscoring the possibility that ETH/USD is painting a bear pennant. Bear pennants are bearish continuation patterns, meaning they resolve after the price breaks below the structure’s lower trendline and then falls by as much as the height of the previous move downside (called the flagpole). As a result …
