This Week in Crypto- (Gensler Responds to Coinbase Allegations, UAE Regulators Approve Crypto Trading in Dubai, BlockFi Answers NJ Cease-and-Desist)

The top crypto news, reports, stats of the week and give our latest crypto forecast. The selloff in equities from China’s Evergrande crisis took the crypto market down with it temporarily, testing floor prices for BTC ($40k) and ETH ($3k), which have since rebounded. Once September options contracts expire on Friday, we are expecting a nice rebound into October. Based on on-chain analytics, TVL trends in DeFi, and the amount of capital coming into the space from institutional investors, crypto markets appear headed toward new all-time highs. We expect to see new all-time highs this Fall for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. While things could always change, we expect to see $80k+ BTC and $6k+ ETH by the end of 2021.
