Bitcoin (BTC) Update: Ukraine Joins Russia in Legalizing Bitcoin

UKRAINE LEGALIZES AND REGULATES CRYPTOCURRENCIES

Yesterday, the Ukrainian parliament enacted a law to legalize and regulate cryptocurrencies. Previously, cryptocurrency transactions operated within a legal grey area. The timing of the legislation appears rather interesting considering Russia voted to do the very same just weeks earlier, however, the bill was set in motion in 2020 and now heads to the president’s office.

CRYPTOCURRENCY DIPS AS GEOPOLITICAL ESCALATIONS HEAT UP

Bitcoin approached 45,000 but sold off on Thursday after news of a flare up in eastern Ukraine hit news wires. Bitcoin, like many risk assets, remains highly reactive to the news flows out of Ukraine and remains one of the most speculative ‘assets’.

 

Typically, Bitcoin has performed well when the stock market (S&P 500) was booming. Now, as global monetary policy normalizes and equities fail to show any signs of reaching new highs, bitcoin looks to be following suit.

Yesterday’s drop settled at the 40k mark and trades slightly up at the time of writing. Should the sell-off continue, the nearest level of resistance appears at 39,600 before 37,325. Bullish momentum faces many challenges including the latest developments in Ukraine and the zone of resistance between 41,500 and 42,500. A break above the zone brings 40k and 45,650 into focus as levels of resistance.

    • Movement (MOVE) is establishing itself as a key player in the blockchain space, aspiring to lead as an Ethereum Layer 2 network with salient transaction speed and scalability. With a team of experts from Aptos, Bloomberg, and the Sui Foundation, the project has shown its capacity to deliver on innovative design and concepts. In just one month after its testnet launch, it attracted an impressive 605K users, signaling strong market demand. Armed with $41.4M in funding from leading investors like Polychain, Binance Labs, and OKX Ventures, the project is shaping a diverse ecosystem to advance DeFi.   Beyond technology, MOVE excels in outreach, leveraging high PR scores, influencer marketing, and SEO strategies to build a strong social media presence and vibrant community.

    • BGB is currently among the leading most performed token of the year especially as it has flipped OKB marketcap and currently among the top 50 largest token by marketcap on coinmarketcap.  Use case is mostly important for token growth and price performance and this is evident in BGB recent performance. The exchange continue to introduce innovative earning opportunities for holders of the token and this could be the reasons many users continue to DCA it. Imagine so many passive income for holders like Launchpool, Candybomb, Poolx, launchpad and even the BGB holders group. The high demand for the token has pushed it from $0.5 to over $2.9 and some analysts are predicting it could further hit above $5 before the year ends.  With Bitget November protection fund achieving all-time high of $643 million, we could see that translate to more investors trust in the exchange and further shoot it to the much anticipated $5.
