▼ + stars: | 2024-08-06 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

Cryptocurrencies on Tuesday recovered some of the previous day's losses after bitcoin briefly fell under $50,000 for the first time in six months. The price of the flagship cryptocurrency was last higher by 3.5% at $55,051.74, according to Coin Metrics. Markets broadly bounced early Tuesday, including stocks tied to the price of bitcoin. Coinbase , MicroStrategy and mining companies Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms all added about 2% each in premarket trading. The sell-off took place as crypto traders were caught in a storm of carry traders unwinding their positions, heightened concerns about a U.S. economic recession, escalating tensions in the Middle East and increasing uncertainty about the outcome of the U.S. presidential election.

Markets around the world are getting some relief after the steep declines suffered Monday. Japan's Nikkei 225 surged more than 10% overnight — its biggest one-day gain since 2008 — clawing back some of its losses from the previous session. In the U.S., stock futures pointed to slight gains at the open. It might be an easier call if it was October, but we frankly struggle to think of many markets that have put in their corrective lows in early-August," Verrone wrote. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) , Wall Street's preferred fear gauge, remained elevated around 32, though it was down 16% in morning trade.

☆ Bitcoin's shellacking during global markets decline calls into question 'safe haven' theory again
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-05 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Cryptocurrencies were among the hardest assets hit this morning as bitcoin slid 15% toward its worst day since June 2022. The turmoil has investors wondering, once again: what happened to the narrative that bitcoin is a store of value, and a hedge against uncertainty? For short- and even medium-term traders it may not be, since it trades so closely with risk assets. "That's, in a way, why [it] tends to have a more solid floor than other risk assets like equities … because of the diversity of their narrative." Before this weekend bitcoin was supported by a strong floor of about $55,000 and has struggled to break through its $70,000 ceiling.

Investors have several reasons to be optimistic toward bitcoin even as it enters one of the sleepiest trading months of the year. It has finished seven of the past 11 Augusts in the red, generating an average 2.69% return for the month, according to CoinGlass, largely due to a more than 65% gain in August 2017. "It's very likely that's going to continue playing a part here" in the month ahead, Duong said. Pandl at Grayscale is upbeat on the prospect of bitcoin reaching another all-time high sometime this year, and ether retesting $4,000. "Equity markets have wobbled but, so far, bitcoin has performed well, trading more like a hedge against dollar weakness," Pandl said.

☆ Crypto slides to begin August trading, nearly erasing its July gain

The price of bitcoin was last lower by more than 3.7% at $63,144.00, according to Coin Metrics. Cryptocurrencies slid on the first day of August, after a batch of economic data heightened investor worries about the economy , driving them to move out of risk assets including crypto. Disappointing data out Thursday fueled investor worries that the U.S. economy could be at risk of a recession — a day after the Federal Reserve voted to keep interest rates unchanged. Bitcoin is poised for choppy trading in August, a seasonally sluggish month for the cryptocurrency as well as risk assets more broadly. The flagship cryptocurrency has traded in a range between $55,000 and $70,000 since March, when it notched an all-time high above $73,000.

Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has raised more than $4 million from a mix of digital tokens, a campaign aide told CNBC. At least 19 donors contributed more than $2.15 million bitcoin to the committee, the filing shows. Brian Hughes, a Trump campaign aide, said that of the more than $4 million in crypto raised, most of it arrived in bitcoin. "While the Biden-Harris Administration stifles innovation with more regulation and higher taxes, President Trump is ready to encourage American leadership in this and other emerging technologies." Thus far, it appears the Trump campaign is mostly converting these contributions immediately to USDC and then liquidating the donations.
