Bitcoin’s Market Plunge

Bitcoin’s price dropped to $54,422 after a 7.4% decline, triggered by Mt. Gox’s movement of $2.7 billion in BTC. This caused over $665 million in liquidations across major cryptocurrencies, affecting 230,541 traders. Ethereum also faced significant liquidations, totaling $163.4 million, with its price falling by 10.57% to $2,890. Despite short-term volatility, experts maintain a positive long-term outlook for Bitcoin and the overall market.

Notcoin’s New Explore Platform

Notcoin has launched its Explore Platform, aiming to accelerate growth for Web3 projects. This platform provides resources, networking opportunities, and tools to support project development and community engagement. Notcoin’s initiative is seen as a pivotal step in fostering innovation within the Web3 ecosystem, potentially driving significant advancements in blockchain technology and decentralized applications.
