  28-09-2019 21:30 via newsbtc.com
  Bitcoin has been able to establish some stability after experiencing massive volatility earlier this week, and it is beginning to look as though the $8,000 region could potentially be a support level that allows BTC to continue climbing higher in the near-term.
  Importantly, analysts are noting that BTC’s recent stability, in combination with yesterday’s CME futures expiring, could point to the possibility that a movement up towards $9,000 is imminent.

  For over a year many crypto advocates have assumed that Bakkt would represent a major turning point in the crypto revolution, bridging the divide between blockchain assets and the traditional financial space. It has thus been surprising that the launch of the regulated futures exchange proved to be underwhelming, with only USD $600,000 in Bitcoin contracts written on the first day.

  28-09-2019 20:00 via newsbtc.com
  Another week, another of Crypto Tidbits. Bitcoin has been absolutely slammed over the past week, shedding 20% of its value in a few days’ time. Altcoins have followed suit, posting similar, if not worse losses.
  Unfortunately, the news cycle reflected the drop in the Bitcoin market. While there was a smattering of positive news events — an explosion in the Bitcoin hash rate and launches of crypto trading by finance giants — not much took place in the industry.

• Bitcoin Price Can Rocket Higher Without Institutions: Venture Capitalist

  28-09-2019 14:00 via newsbtc.com
  “The institutional herd is coming” is a phrase uttered by countless Bitcoin bulls ad nauseam. They believe that the arrival of this subset of investors will be a catalyst that drives cryptocurrencies to fresh all-time highs and catapult the technology into the mainstream.
  However, an industry venture capitalist has argued that the institutional narrative is flawed, in that the Bitcoin price doesn’t need, say, Wall Street or its Asian equivalent to succeed and grow.
