2021 might be coming to a close, but there are still many significant crypto events before the year ends.

Welcome to the Weekender: Your weekly round up of all the top stories in the crypto space, as decided by you, our readers. With the crypto bulls back in control, this week’s rich list report from Forbes magazine took the top spot: who are the seven crypto billionaires making all those gains?

In the traditional space, last Friday’s session was marked by disappointing jobs results. The US added 200,000 jobs instead of the estimated (and hoped for) 500,000.

Bitcoin is up 2% on the day, but to be honest, today actually feels like defeat.

You can feel the fear among the optimism in both crypto and traditional assets.

Decentralized applications are the inevitable next evolution of the apps that we now use to manage our lives. But what are decentralized applications, and what makes them different from centralized apps?

Just two weeks after China’s crackdown, crypto is booming!

Today, we’re looking at capital flow back in risk assets. A concern plaguing investors’ minds these days is the US debt ceiling.

Bitcoin's march higher continues, with prices up 5.5% and the total market cap of Bitcoin once again north of $1T.

In blockchain parlance, a 51% attack is a worst-case scenario, referring to a situation where malicious actors take over a blockchain network. However, pulling off a 51% attack is difficult (and expensive).

Yesterday, markets were supported by the potential for a covid oral treatment. Today, we’re focused on rising rates, economic slowdown, and Fed policy normalization, which forces investors to reconsider valuations.

Assets issued on blockchains might fall into various categories and sub categorizations, but use cases will help you spot the differences.

There’s only so much impact the same news can have on investors’ minds. I’m thinking of Evergrande but also, for the crypto community, the Chinese ban that was announced over the weekend.

From China issuing another cryptocurrency crackdown to El Salvador doubling down on their crypto holdings purchases, last week was nothing short of eventful in the cryptoverse.

BTC rose another 3% yesterday, currently at $44,600 and tantalizingly close to the 45K resistance/support.

Bitcoin has enjoyed a positive trading session today, with prices up 7% post this morning's news that China had taken some small steps to avoid an immediate default from Evergrande. The addition of liquidity to the banking system may just be a shock absorber for next week's action, or it could be the first shot in a sustained program to assist with Evegrande's woes.

The Evergrande debacle that’s been weighing on markets has been controlled, for now.

A brief move lower in the Asian trading session was quickly countered, and Bitcoin now sits less than 1% down on the day. It's starting to feel like we've seen this movie before. Evergrande is likely to have defaulted come the end of the week, and although it's only Tuesday, I can already see one of those weekend trading sessions that keep us glued to our screens.

Bitcoin has fallen 7% on the day as the world's markets turned their attention to a potential debt crisis brewing in China. As we all know, debt crises are super easy to solve: You just print more money and they go away, as per the FED.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, the Evergrande debacle in China, and the idea that it could drag down China's whole financial system, are dragging down the world economy as well.

We’re looking at US equity indexes and seeing a clear risk-off tilt.

During the Weekend, the Bitcoin (BTC) network logged its 700,000th block, a major milestone. At the time of the last 100,000-block milestone (two years ago) the BTC price was worth less than $8,000. Today, one BTC is worth nearly $48,000. Even though almost 90% of BTC that can exist have already been mined, at the current pace of block production, the final BTC will be mined around the year 2140.

Bitcoin has edged slightly lower today, with prices declining 1% and setting the market up for another potential soft weekend of price action.

Today was fun. Not fun in a good way, but fun, nonetheless. Bitcoin is down 3% after some whipsaw price action caused by a fake Reuters media report claiming that Walmart would be rolling out Litecoin across its stores beginning October 1st.

The U.S. tends to dominate the lion’s share of the headlines regarding blockchain and cryptocurrency regulation. However, while U.S. regulators continue to equivocate, many smaller nations embrace the opportunity to capture some of the value in the burgeoning digital asset space.
