Silvergate is the second-largest bank in the US that deals with cryptocurrency companies, ranking only after Signature. It acts as a crucial link between the crypto world and traditional fiat currencies.

๐Ÿ”Recently, Silvergate has decided that the best course of action, given the regulatory changes in the industry, is to gradually wind down its operations and voluntarily liquidate. The closure plan guarantees full repayment of all deposits.

In early March, Silvergate had already announced that it would discontinue the Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN).

๐Ÿ’ญ Several crypto exchanges have already confirmed that they have not been affected by their association with Silvergate and that their clients' funds are safe.

๐Ÿณ Will the whales determine the trajectory of the ether?

Whale activity has a decisive influence on the behavior of bitcoin and altcoins.

Ali Martinez provides interesting data on the correlation of the movement of addresses with a balance of 1 million to 10 million ETH with the price of ETH in the period from January 20 โ€” after the first BTC and alt run in 2023.

At first, Ethereum whales switched to a wait-and-see strategy. They were inactive, and now these addresses have entered the game and can have a huge impact on the course of the ether.

Today, ETH is trading around $1,566, and its capitalization this week decreased to $191.641 billion. Against the background of increased pressure on the market of risky assets, altcoin sank below $ 1,600.

But if the whales start swimming and buying at the bottom, the ether may return to the support level, the analyst believes.
๐Ÿ›’ Crypt becomes a universal means of payment

Ripple and the Faster Payment Council surveyed 300 companies from 45 countries and came to the conclusion that by 2025 the number of businesses accepting bitcoin will grow by 50%.

Blockchain has already become an excellent alternative to expensive payment systems.

โœ… The volume of transactions with digital currencies has increased markedly: more than 5.5 million crypto transactions were carried out in the USA alone when paying for goods and services.

The popularity of bitcoin and other digital currencies is growing especially rapidly in the field of cross-border payments. Foreign employees often use the crypt to send funds to their homeland โ€” without intermediaries in the face of payment systems and banks.

The introduction of BTC, USDT and USDC accelerates the transition of PayPal and Stripe-level companies to digital assets.
