Goldman Sachs sees Bitcoin at $100,000

Despite Bitcoin unable to close 2021 above the $100,000 level, Goldman Sachs experts said in a note released last Tuesday that this psychological horizon is still achievable if it takes a share of the gold market, though for a longer period. According to this note, BTC also needs to overtake approximately 50% of the "store of value" market share over the next five years to see the $100,000$ valuation become true.

China launches a mobile e-CNY wallet

Bitcoin ETF disappoint the market

The first Bitcoin ETF isn’t looking good: the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) is now trading at nearly 30% below its launch price. The Bitcoin institutional demand remains very low. Meanwhile, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) continues to trade at its biggest-ever discount to Bitcoin spot price, and is getting ready to be converted into an ETF.

NFT volumes on the rise again

NFT volumes had been steadily decreasing between August and November, but December broke that trend: volumes increased 16.6% from November to December, reaching $2.26 billion in the last month of 2021. Possible explanations for December’s rise in sales volume could be increased interest in Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and gaming-focused NFTs during that month.

Uniswap is live on Polygon

Decentralized exchange protocol Uniswap is live on Polygon since December 22. This news is coming just one month after the proposal to launch the Uniswap version 3 on Polygon. Uniswap users can now swap tokens using the Polygon blockchain via Uniswap’s official interface, which will avoid the pain of high gas fee at the same time.

Polygon fixes a huge bug

Polygon was at risk of an attack which could have allowed attackers to steal over 9.2 billion MATIC tokens. The development team rushed to fix the issue, but before the mainnet upgrade was undertaken, a malicious actor exploited the bug and stole 801,601 MATIC tokens. The bug was patched on december 5, but was only disclosed on the 29th.

Solana goes down again

According to Wu Blockchain, the Solana network went down for around four hours in the early morning of Tuesday UTC time as a result of an apparent DDoS attack. Solana.Status shows the network has been fully operational with 100% uptime over that period. This is the third time in two months that the network suffers a halt in transactions or at least severe slowdowns.
