The total open interest of any asset can help to narrow down what traders are doing when it comes to a coin, and Dogecoin is no different. As with any metric, a rise or fall within a period of time can be significant as traders choose to take or not take positions in that asset. In Dogecoin’s case, there has been a decline in the open interest over the last week, and this could have some implications for the DOGE price going forward. Dogecoin Open Interest Falls 24% According to data from Coinglass, the Dogecoin open interest has fallen 24% in the last week alone. This figure comes from July 18 when the open interest hit $707 million, going into August, with a total open interest value of $420 million. Related Reading: XRP Ledger Sees Sharp Decline In Major Metric That Threatens To Send XRP Price To $0.2 This decline in the Dogecoin open interest follows the market crash that has rocked cryptocurrencies, eventually sending the DOGE price below $0.09 by Monday. It shows a drastic reduction in the number of open positions, suggesting a reduction in interest. This is not the lowest that the Dogecoin open interest has been this year. However, it is interesting due to the current condition of the market. For example, the Dogecoin price has erased most of its gains from last year, pushing it back toward February 2024 lows. The correlation between the Dogecoin price and the open interest is now more glaring with this crash. In the time that the open interest has fallen 24%, the Dogecoin price has seen around a 40% decrease in price. What Does Historical Data Say? With the correlation between open interest and the Dogecoin price, using historical data could help to narrow down what might be on the horizon for Dogecoin. For example, the last time that the Dogecoin open interest saw a sharp drop, the price also followed. In March 2024, the DOGE open interest peaked at $2.21 billion, and the price saw its highest level so far this year as well. Following this, there was a crash in open interest and the DOGE price went from $0.22 to $0.18 alongside it, all in the month of March. Related Reading: VanEck CEO Compares Bitcoin Adoption To Gold, Reveals Why Price Will Touch $350,000 This suggests that for a recovery to begin for the Dogecoin price, a rise in the open interest would be a good development. If the open interest flattens out from here, then the Dogecoin price could enter a phase of consolidation that could see it tread around $0.08 for a while. Mainly, however, a recovery for the DOGE price would be imminent if the Bitcoin price were to begin rising again. In this case, a market-wide rally would see Dogecoin follow, breaking the current bearish trend. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has observed a plunge alongside the latest price crash. Bitcoin 30-Day MVRV Ratio Is Now At Lowest Levels Since FTX Collapse As explained by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, the 30-day MVRV ratio has just gone through a sharp drop. The “MVRV ratio” refers to a popular on-chain indicator that, in short, tells us about how the value held by the Bitcoin investors (that is, the market cap) compares against the capital put in by them (the realized cap). When the value of this ratio is greater than 1, it means the investors as a whole are carrying an unrealized profit right now. On the other hand, it being under the mark suggests the dominance of loss in the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Crashes To $49,000: Key Reasons Explained In the context of the current topic, the MVRV ratio for the entire market isn’t of interest, but that of just a segment of it: the investors who bought their coins within the past 30 days. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 30-day Bitcoin MVRV ratio over the past couple of years: Note that the 30-day Bitcoin MVRV ratio here is displayed as a percentage, with the zero mark essentially taking the same role as the 1 value in the normal version. From the graph, it’s visible that the indicator had shot up to high levels earlier in the year as the asset had witnessed a rapid surge to a new all-time high (ATH). In the consolidation period that had followed this ATH, though, the metric had fallen to oscillation about the zero mark. This sideways trajectory, in the price and the indicator, both, has now finally been broken, as the cryptocurrency has observed a crash. The 30-day MVRV ratio has now slumped to sharp negative values of 17%, meaning that the average investor who bought in the past month is 17% in the red right now. As is apparent in the chart, the last time that the indicator plummeted this low was in November 2022, when the Bitcoin price crashed following the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX. “That period marked a bottom and an excellent buying opportunity,” notes the analyst. Related Reading: Bitcoin RSI Goes Bearish For The First Time Since August 2023, Will It Crash Below $40,000? Generally, when investor profits balloon too much, a top can become likely, as the chances of widespread profit-taking become significant. The price ATH earlier in the year also formed when the indicator had a high value. In times of high losses, though, selling could be assumed to have reached a state of exhaustion, meaning that a rebound could be probable. Bitcoin saw this in effect during the FTX crash, but it only remains to be seen whether a similar fate also lies in store for it this time. BTC Price The early signs of a potential rebound may already be here as the Bitcoin price has made recovery to $54,400 from its low under $50,000.

The ongoing plunge in the overall crypto market fairly began back in July where the global crypto market cap initially fell to $2.5 trillion from $2.7 trillion earlier in May. However, despite this downturn recorded in July, Cardano (ADA), the 9th largest crypto by market cap appears to have defied this bearish trend. Particularly, according to the Cardano foundation, the blockchain stands out in July for its notable increase in on-chain activity, despite broader market setbacks. The data provided by the Foundation reveals that the network is not only sustaining but also building momentum, a sign of resilience and growing user engagement. Cardano July Growth Regarding the network’s health, statistics revealed by the foundation show that Cardano saw a modest yet worthy increase in transactions to 94.6 million, up by 1.62% from the previous month. Related Reading: Cardano Goes Toe-To-Toe With Ethereum As Whales Scoop Up 120 Million ADA This uptick is dissected into varied transaction types, showcasing a diverse usage of the blockchain. Among these, 37% were smart contracts, reflecting the network’s strong capabilities beyond simple transactions, which accounted for 38%. Additionally, 25% involved metadata without smart contracts, highlighting the blockchain’s adaptability and the wide array of applications it supports. The foundation’s data also detailed growth in several other key areas of the Cardano network, underlining the technological advancement and deepening user involvement. Plutus scripts, which are essential for running smart contracts on Cardano, saw a rise of 1.88%, totalling 6,659. This increase is a direct reflection of the growing developer activity and the deployment of more complex applications on the platform. Moreover, the ecosystem saw a growth in native tokens, up by 1% to 10.2 million, and an even more significant rise in policies, which surged 7.6% to reach 150,477. Wallet statistics also paint a picture of broadening participation within the Cardano community. The total number of Cardano wallets increased by 0.71% to 4.84 million, with delegated wallets slightly up by 0.02% to 1.35 million. This marginal growth in delegated wallets suggests a stable interest in staking and governance participation among ADA holders. ADA Current Market Performance Regardless of this notable growth in Cardano’s on-chain activities last month, the blockchain’s native token ADA has joined in on the global crypto market downturn. Over the past 24 hours alone, ADA has recorded a roughly 7.1% decrease in its value. Related Reading: Hoskinson Claims Cardano Will Flip Bitcoin As Leading Crypto This decline has brought the asset to currently trade at a price of $0.3202, at the time of writing—a slight increase from the price tag of $0.2789 seen earlier today. Interesting, despite this plunge, ADA’s 24-hour trading volume has surge significantly from below $400,000 as of yesterday to roughly above $1.250 million as at the time of writing.

The Law Commission's final report urges UK government to reclassify crypto assets, addressing current legal gaps.
The global economic market has now so far shown increasing signs of instability which appears to have impacted the overall crypto investment sector negatively. Recent data from CoinShares has revealed a reversal in the flow of funds, with crypto investment products experiencing significant weekly outflows. As reported by CoinShares, this outflow marks the first time in over a month that the net balance has tipped from “accumulation to liquidation,” highlighting investor anxiety amid recession fears in the United States. Deciphering The Crypto Fund Flows: Was There Any Green? Analyzing the geographical distribution of these outflows presents a nuanced view of the current market stance. The report from CoinShares revealed that US-based funds were the hardest hit, recording net outflows of $531 million. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Price Potential: Analyst Maps Path To $700,000 And Beyond This figure was heavily influenced by a significant sell-off on Friday, where net outflows totalled $237.4 million, overshadowing any inflows earlier in the week. The bulk of these withdrawals were from Bitcoin-based products, which saw a $400 million exit, ending five weeks of consecutive net inflows. Notably, there was a slight uptick in investments into Short Bitcoin funds, which garnered $1.8 million, marking their first significant inflows since June. Conversely, certain regions displayed resilience or even optimism amidst the downturn. Swiss and Canadian markets bucked the trend by registering net inflows of $28 million and $17 million, respectively. This suggests that some investors are viewing the price declines as buying opportunities, possibly anticipating a market recovery. Ethereum-specific products also mirrored this volatile trend. Globally, Ethereum investment vehicles reported net outflows of $146 million. The US spot Ethereum ETFs were particularly affected, with $169.4 million leaving these funds. However, this was part of a larger narrative where new Ethereum ETFs saw roughly about $433.6 million in net inflows, only to be overshadowed by $603 million in net outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE fund. Behind The Outflows The total of $528 million withdrawn from various crypto asset investment products last week alone comes on the heels of several notable economic pressures. James Butterfill, the Head of Research at CoinShares, particularly attributed this exodus to mounting concerns over what they believe to be “a reaction to fears of a recession in the US, geopolitical concerns and consequent broader market liquidations across most asset classes.” This mass withdrawal, according to Butterfill also coincided with a sharp market correction that erased roughly $10 billion from the total Exchange Traded Products (ETP) Assets Under Management (AUM) at the week’s close.
