This Week on StakeCube, 9th of December 2022

General News

Crypto Markets Update

Markets have continued almost completely flat this week, with Bitcoin hovering right above the $17,000 level. Not much has happened lately, other than a few of the biggest exchanges like Crypto.com and Binance releasing some form of proof of reserves. Seems like things could remain quiet now, at least for a while. Core PPI came out a bit higher than expected in the US, but it had little effect on the markets. PPI measures the change in the price of finished goods and services sold by producers, and is therefore a leading indicator of inflation. However, the Crypto markets seem much more concerned with internal issues at the moment, and prices do not react much to anything external.

StakeCube in Numbers

We had some more cashing out of SCC this week, taking the price below the 700 Satoshi level. Exchange volume increased a bit but remains quite low compared to a few months ago. Unfortunately ScpScan is down at the moment and we cannot check the number of SCP transactions. Developers have already been informed of the issue.
