Shibarium’s Fast Launch Slowed Down by This, LEASH Gets New Listing, Robert Kiyosaki Believes BTC Best for Unstable Times: Crypto News Digest by U.Today

Take a look at what happened in the crypto world over the weekend with four top Cryptooshala news stories.

LEASH Shiba Inu Token Gets New Listing, Trading Volume Soars To 913%

According to an announcement from Hong Kong-based crypto exchange XT.com, it listed LEASH token under the USDT trading pair. The exchange allowed deposits and trading of LEASH on February 17 and withdrawals on February 18. LEASH is not the only token from the so-called SHIB trio available on XT.com. Over the weekend, the exchange added support for another token: BoneShibaSwap (BONE). Meanwhile, on Feb. 17, LEASH saw a sudden 79% price spike, presumably caused by a bulk buy order. This was reflected in 24-hour trading volume, which rose by a whopping 913%.

According to Shitoshi Kusama, Shibarium’s rapid launch has slowed down because of this.

Responding to numerous messages in his Telegram group “All Things Shibarium”, lead developer Shiba Inu Shitoshi Kusama pointed out one of the main problems causing the delay in the release of the Layer-2 solution. Kusama wrote that the problem lies in the lack of empathy from the SHIB community, since no matter how hard and fast a developer works, there are always those who ask about the exact date or complain about the lack of information about this. When asked if the launch would be delayed again, Kusama replied that it could not be delayed as he did not initially set an exact launch date.

Bitcoin (BTC) remains the best for volatile times, but there’s a catch: Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad

In a recent tweet, renowned investor and writer Robert Kiyosaki reaffirmed his support for Bitcoin, as well as gold and silver. Kiyosaki says he’s always said that investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs is risky, but now he’s about to give even riskier advice. The writer then wrote that he still considers gold, silver and bitcoin to be the best assets for the “unstable times” we now live in. Last week, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad made a bold prediction about the highs the price of BTC could reach by 2025. According to Kiyosaki’s forecast, bitcoin may rise to the level $500,000 level.

Legendary Trader Peter Brandt Notes Major Turning Points on Bitcoin (BTC) Chart

On Friday, February 17th, Twitter user @htltimor shared two bitcoin charts, commenting on them, saying “Lower structures. Aren’t they interesting?” The tweet did not go unnoticed by well-known trader Peter Brandt: he replied to @htltimor saying that the marked patterns are called “price walls” and they usually represent major reversal points. Visually, the volume of orders forms a “wall” on the chart relative to the price and can be identified as price points where large volumes of buy or sell orders are placed, respectively.
