What Caused the Christmas Crypto Rally !

Image
  * Crypto has been through a lot in the past 12 months, and while the last year’s situation indicated that big things might happen, 2018 quickly crushed such hopes. On December 16th 2017, the  crypto space , led by Bitcoin itself, reached the heights that no one even imagined a few years earlier. Each Bitcoin was valued at $19,000, and the market was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The situation did not last, however, and the market crashed in early January 2018, bringing digital currencies back down. For months, Bitcoin was managing to resist the bear trend at around $6,400. However, this situation changed in mid-November, after the second market crash in 2018. The number one coin soon dropped down to $3,200, and many believed that this is only a beginning of a downward spiral that will take it all the way down to zero.

Image
As part of its 12 Days of Consecutive Announcement , major cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has launched a new feature that allows investors to convert their cryptocurrencies into other digital assets, according to a company announcement on December 17, 2018. Called the “Convert,” the exchange claims the new feature is way cheaper than selling and buying a different digital asset, which is the process most investors go through. With this feature, customers would be able to convert between Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and 0X, for the initial rollout.   So, a trader can directly convert Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash, rather than sell Bitcoin and then purchase Bitcoin Cash, which becomes two separate transactions with double fees. According to its pricing page , Coinbase would charge a spread of 1% for the conversion of digital assets on its platform. This fee is not fixed, as it could go higher or lower due to the volatility in th...
