Memecoins (PEPE, WIF) Hit New Record Highs as Bitcoin (BTC) Rallies
Quick Glance: Bitcoin: Why the Surge Might Not Last
  • Bitcoin is back in the limelight with a significant surge to record levels and wild fluctuations.

  • The resurgence of the Bitcoin market was significantly influenced by the decision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve the spot trading of bitcoins by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January.

  • The introduction of ETFs and the upcoming "halving" of mined Bitcoins are key factors influencing the price.

  • The trading volatility signals that Bitcoin remains among the riskiest assets, highly dependent on future US interest rates.

Quick Glance: Major Chinese cities have passed their Covid peak as the wave shifts to rural areas, new research projects
  • According to a new study, the wave of Covid infections sweeping throughout China may have already peaked in some of the country's largest cities, including Shanghai and Beijing.

  • "The results showed that Guangzhou already passed the recent wave, while Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing urban areas are in the midst of the current wave that would likely pass by the end of 2022," according to the report.

  • "It is reasonable to speculate that the Omicron outbreak in Chinese mainland might appear in multiple waves, with re-appearance of new local surges possibly in late 2023," the report said.

  • The injunction came after violent demonstrations erupted at Zhengzhou's massive iPhone production facility.

  • The firm, which is controlled by Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn, has been under Covid restrictions for more than a month due to escalating instances in its worker dorms.
