Bitcoin Leads the Bull Market

The overall crypto market experienced a positive shift this week, with Bitcoin leading the charge. The largest cryptocurrency saw a roughly 5% increase over the past seven days, catching the attention of investors, especially given the historically negative performance in September. Altcoins followed suit, with many showing similar gains.

There is speculation that Bitcoin’s price could reach $100,000, driven by recent moves in China, such as a 50 basis point cut in the reserve ratio and a 20 basis point drop in short-term interest rates. Additionally, October, often referred to as “Uptober,” has historically been a strong month for Bitcoin, adding to the market’s bullish outlook.

Shiba Inu Rides the Wave: Major Developments

Shiba Inu (SHIB) was one of the week’s top-performing altcoins, with its weekly gains exceeding 35%. The SHIB community is buzzing with excitement as they look forward to the future of this meme coin. SHIB’s project lead, Lucie, hinted that a stablecoin project named SHI might be launched soon.

Moreover, Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama mentioned that the coming week could be a game-changer for SHIB. Additionally, a significant increase in the SHIB burn rate has positively affected the coin’s price, and many within the community believe it could rise even further.
