Bitcoin, Ethereum, Avalanche, and Chainlink Daily Price Analyses – 18 October Roundup

The global crypto market has seen a reversal in the pattern of gains as the influx of capital lowered. The recent data shows that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others couldn’t continue the positive trend. Thus, the reversal of the pattern has resulted in losses for the overall market. As said earlier, there is a macroeconomic factor behind the losses in the market; it might take time to recover. The rising inflation rates and other problems might continue to plague the global crypto market.

Silvergate has delayed its planned stablecoin launch because of continuing problems. The company had planned to launch its own payments-focused, dollar-pegged stablecoin. The company executives said that the delay was mainly the result of regulatory compliance, not technical issues. The CEO of the crypto-bank company, Alan Lane, disclosed these details in the third quarter earnings call of the company.

The company announced in January 2022 that it has plans to launch its stablecoin. Silvergate had acquired intellectual property, infrastructure, and tools from blockchain developer Diem Group. The partnership between the two companies was first announced in May 2021. When asked about regulatory issues, the CEO of Silvergate replied that the main problem they are facing is related to compliance.
