NEWS ROUND-UP
Smart money moves involve staying in the know on the latest in crypto and finance, and we got you covered! Here’s some of the highlights on the blockchain this year:
Bitcoin met its USD 44,000 mark as multiple firms in the US announced and began their preparations to make spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds available to the public. The world’s top cryptocurrency was seen to be trading for less than USD 17,000 at the beginning of 2023.
2023 is also the year that Solana (SOL) broke past USD 100. Factors that are said to contribute to this price action are the trades made with its dog-themed meme coins and airdrops, which are prompting several traders to test out Solana-based lenders, bridges, and other infrastructure.
Bitcoin Ordinals were introduced in 2023 by software engineer Casey Rodarmor. Bitcoin Ordinals are NFTs described as “digital artifacts” in the Bitcoin network. It addressed issues encountered with traditional NFTs such as NFTs showing blank images or graphic images. Bitcoin Ordinals garnered positive feedback from the community, which contributed to Bitcoin sales this year. In December, the network took the top spot for most sales in 30 days, making over USD 744 million.
