Bitcoin holds steady at $40k as markets move sideways
I am not gonna lie – I have a fantastically major thumping head this morning after the great day that was yesterday’s Crypto AM 3rd Birthday Unlocking Summer Party.
An amazing champagne drinks reception in partnership with World Mobile was followed by a three-course summer lunch washed down with beautiful Mirabeau Azure Rosé!
Pete Hill of CUDOS delivered his keynote, Jason Deane introduced Bitcoin Pioneers and a very enjoyable panel discussion around the ‘State of the Crypto Union’ took place, moderated by Dr Chris Cleverly of Tingo International Holdings & KamPay.
The panel was made up by Julian Sawyer of Bitstamp (who also collected Bitstamp’s award from last year), Jeanette Seng of Mantle, Rufus Round of GlobalBlock Digital Trading Assets, Martha Reyes-Hulme of BEQUANT and Konstantin Anissimov of CEX.IO
We also made a bit of cinematic history with Ted Byron Baybutt – the Director of British Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Slammer’ – filming a scene for the film as well as showing two versions of the trailer for the film.
I’m hugely grateful to and want to thank our partners CUDOS, World Mobile, BEQUANT, Bitstamp, CryptoCompare, CEX.IO, Bitcoin Pioneers & GlobalBlock Digital Asset Trading

Crypto at a glance
The Bitcoin price continues to hold strong at around $40,000, though it has yet to show signs of pushing on after the surge earlier in the week. Will we see a longer period of consolidation around this level? Will it break out before then, or could it fall back towards the $30k level?
One positive argument for a breakout is that many commentators believe institutional investors are returning to crypto after appearing to look elsewhere. A number of reports have pointed to roughly $2.5 billion in Bitcoin being moved off crypto exchanges yesterday morning as evidence that they’re back, with the balance of Bitcoin on exchanges falling as 63,289 BTC were transferred off the platforms, according to blockchain data provider Glassnode. Has a return to $40k sparked their interest again?
Everything is fairly static today though, with only XRP of the major coins moving more than one per cent in the last 24 hours. XRP, a cryptocurrency used by Ripple in its payments network, rallied to a five-week high on Wednesday after the company said it is targeting the $1.8 billion Filipino remittance market, but is today down around 3.5 per cent. The cryptocurrency is still up more than 20 per cent over the last week.
