From a potential Bitcoin reversal to the expansion of Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash in Japan, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
The institutional-grade research arm of leading crypto exchange Binance has released a report on the current state of Bitcoin and crypto.
According to Binance Research, analysis of the correlation between the price of BTC and altcoins indicates the crypto market has already bottomed out. The report cites a high correlation between the price movements of Bitcoin and altcoins that lasted 90 days, ending on March 14th, as an indication that a market reversal is on the horizon.
“Within this period, the composite altcoin correlation with Bitcoin also hit an all-time high (13 Mar 2018). That coincided with Bitcoin’s fall from the $6,000 range to the $3,000 range.
This high correlation suggests that market sentiment has already found a local maximum during that period, and a trend reversal may possibly ensue.”
The report also states that it’s still early days for institutional participants in the crypto market, finding about 7% of cryptocurrencies are held by institutional investors.

All coins are set to debut on launch day, with the exception of Ethereum, which is scheduled to go live this summer.
