Why is crypto market up today?

Although most digital assets have slowed down their gains from the previous weeks, the cryptocurrency market has increased its total value by over 3% today, and the reasons largely trace back to the flagship decentralized finance (DeFi) asset that has reached its new yearly high.

Indeed, the cryptocurrency sector’s total market capitalization currently stands at $1.37 trillion, indicating a 3.008% increase from the $1.33 trillion in the last 24 hours, according to the data retrieved by Finbold from the crypto monitoring platform CoinMarketCap on November 9.

On top of that, thanks to the strong and steady advances of Bitcoin (BTC), which has recently surpassed the psychologically critical $36,500 price level, the total crypto market cap has risen a staggering 72.59% since $793.77 billion, where it stood on January 1, 2023.

3 things to look out for Bitcoin in November

As it happens, one of the reasons behind the wave of bullish sentiment could be the optimism regarding the approval of the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) following the news that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) first window to approve them starts today.

Indeed, there are eight days – between November 9 and November 17 – in which the regulator could approve all 12 spot Bitcoin ETF filings, according to Bloomberg’s ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, although the experts stressed that this was only a possibility.

The metaverse is not a single app. It’s a network of millions of virtual world s people visit to play games, socialize and collaborate. Today, most of those worlds are closed and disconnected walled gardens. Ready Player Me believes in the future of an open and connected metaverse that is built by many developers and creators and is not controlled by one company. For the open metaverse to emerge, cross-world services and standards that enable virtual world s to be connected and interoperable must be built. Avatars and identities play a huge role in that.
