Welcome to today’s overview of crypto news:

MARKETS

After falling last week’s price, BTC began to recover over the weekend, reaching $ 60,000 for the first time in several days on Saturday and Sunday. However, he failed to overcome this coveted level and the subsequent rejection drove him south.

Within hours, BTC lost approximately $ 3,000 and fell below $ 57,000. The situation changed quite dramatically when BTC went on the offensive yesterday and climbed above $ 59,000.

However, this turned out to be a false increase, as BTC lost all momentum over the next few hours and fell below $ 56,000. Another volatile move followed, in which BTC rose sharply by more than a thousand and approached $ 57,000. It is currently around 56,460 USD.

Most altcoins have mimicked BTC performance in the last 24 hours, which means they are now in the red. ETH fell 1.5% in the day to $ 4,100.

El Salvador plans to issue bonds in the BTC, bonds denominated in dollars have fallen to an all-time low

The country’s commitment to BTC and blockchain technology in the financial system can be difficult for investors with a more traditional approach to investing. The country’s dollar-backed bonds hit a new all-time low after the president of El Salvador revealed plans for BTC-covered bonds, according to Bloomberg.

El Salvador bonds in USD with a maturity in 2050 fell to 64.4 – a new historical low. The country’s debt was one of the worst in the foreign debt market on Monday. The main reason for the rapid decline is President Bukele’s plan to sell government bonds in BTC.

Much of the risk that investors face stems from the current Salvadoran government’s unwillingness to enter into a proper relationship with the IMF. Bukele’s party has fired five top judges and a attorney general.

The Chinese Fujian Authority has repeated the crackdown on cryptocurrency mining

Other provinces in China are taking serious measures to curb cryptocurrency mining following a total ban on the country’s top authorities on September 24.

According to Meng, if an entity is found to have been involved in cryptocurrency mining, it may be sanctioned to pay electricity bills in the future.
