So what’s new in crypto today? Bitcoin just played “Red Light, Green Light” with the resistance level. In the past 24 hours, the OG crypto decided to show off its moves, hitting a new all-time high before taking a sharp turn back down to $62K. The selling pressure just won't let it pass. Despite the setbacks, Bitcoin's not one to give up easily, and its repeated attempts to break through are giving the crypto community hope that something big is brewing. But enough about Bitcoin's wild antics – we're here to dive into the hottest crypto news of the day! Here's a quick TLDR of today's top stories: - Fantom's had enough of Multichain's antics and is ready to take them to court 💼 - Aptos is making moves in the K-pop scene 🎉 - Astar Network's new Layer 2 chain to join Polygon's exclusive AggLayer club 🚀 - Fetch.ai's dropping a cool $100 million on its Fetch Compute project 💸 Now, let's dive deeper into these stories and see what all the fuss is about! 🧐   [Globe Icon] GLOBAL MARKET CAP 2.5T ▲0.54% (24H) [24H Icon] 24H MARKET VOLUME $255B ▲31.68% (24H) [Bitcoin Icon] BITCOIN’S DOMINANCE 52.4% ▲0.09% (24H) FEAR & GREED INDEX [Fear & Greed Index] [ALL CRYPTO PRICES/DATA »](~/AAQRxQA~/RgRnyt8_P0QraHR0cHM6Ly9jb2lubWFya2V0Y2FwLmNvbS8_bGlkPTJtMnhyY2I1dTg5N1cDc3BjQgpl4j9a6GWJw4VcUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAxw~) [TRENDING CRYPTO »](~/AAQRxQA~/RgRnyt8_P0RFaHR0cHM6Ly9jb2lubWFya2V0Y2FwLmNvbS90cmVuZGluZy1jcnlwdG9jdXJyZW5jaWVzLz9saWQ9YXhvbXhtaTdkZW4zVwNzcGNCCmXiP1roZYnDhVxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADHA~~) [NEW LISTINGS ON CMC »](~/AAQRxQA~/RgRnyt8_P0QvaHR0cHM6Ly9jb2lubWFya2V0Y2FwLmNvbS9uZXcvP2xpZD13ZWdlYzU4dWxuZjRXA3NwY0IKZeI_WuhlicOFXFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMc) [TRENDING DEX PAIRS »](~/AAQRxQA~/RgRnyt8_P0RAaHR0cHM6Ly9jb2lubWFya2V0Y2FwLmNvbS9kZXhzY2FuL3RyZW5kaW5nL2FsbC8_bGlkPXFyanFoam5rOG1pbFcDc3BjQgpl4j9a6GWJw4VcUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAxw~) Data as of: 6 Mar 2024 10 AM UTC Bitcoin's Wild Tuesday: Soaring to New Heights, Then Taking a Nosedive Bitcoin just took us on a wild ride. One moment, it was soaring to new heights, touching the stars at $69,170. The next, it was plummeting back down to earth, shedding 12% of its value in just five hours. Talk about a mood swing! But before you start panic-selling your digital gold, let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture. This isn't Bitcoin's first rodeo, and it certainly won't be its last. In fact, this kind of volatility is as much a part of Bitcoin's DNA as the blockchain itself. Rewind to 2017, when Bitcoin was on its way to the top of the world. It wasn't a smooth ride by any means. The king of crypto hit the deck eight times, each drop shaving off 25% or more of its value. But did that stop Bitcoin? Nope! It dusted itself off and kept climbing. Fast forward to the post-pandemic surge in the first half of 2021, and it was like déjà vu all over again. Bitcoin took a beating 13 times, each dip carving out 10% or more of its price. But just like a heavyweight champ, Bitcoin kept getting back up and coming back for more. So, what does this mean for the latest dip? Well, it's hard to say for sure. It could be a sign that Bitcoin needs to catch its breath before the next leg up, or it could be the start of a longer consolidation period. But one thing's for sure: if history is any guide, we're in for more thrills and spills in the days and weeks ahead. Do experts have anything to say on its future moves?

Fantom is gearing up to petition the Singapore High Court to liquidate Multichain like a bad debt. It all goes back to that July 2023 exploit that left a $210 million hole in various blockchains' pockets. Fantom claims they're on the hook for a third of that, and they want their money back, PRONTO. Now, you might be thinking, "Why not just talk it out like adults?" Well, apparently Fantom tried that, but Multichain gave them the cold shoulder. So, Fantom is taking legal action. But wait, there's more! Fantom's not just fighting for themselves; they're fighting for the little guy too. They're proposing a class-action lawsuit against Multichain, which is like a crypto version of "The Avengers." Anyone who got burned by the exploit can join forces with Fantom and take Multichain to the liquidators. But what if Fantom actually wins this lawsuit? How will it help the project and the blockchain?

The Aptos Foundation just inked a deal with Daehong Communications, the advertising arm of the South Korean mega-conglomerate Lotte Group. So, what's the plan? Well, Lotte Group is diving headfirst into the Web3 pool, and they've tapped Aptos to be their lifeguard. They're setting up a dedicated Web3 hub that's going to be the talk of the town, with loyalty programs, NFT projects, and entertainment galore. But Lotte Group isn't just dipping its toes in the water – they're going all in. They're exploring how NFTs and other Web3 goodies can be sprinkled throughout their vast empire of businesses. And they are not stopping there. Aptos is diving into the Qatar Asian Cup! How?

But what makes Astar zkEVM so special? Well, for starters, it's the first L2 chain to be fully integrated with Polygon's AggLayer. That's like being the first kid on the block with the newest gaming console – it's a big deal. Thanks to this integration, Astar zkEVM is going to be best friends with Polygon zkEVM and any other blockchain that joins the AggLayer ecosystem.

This new infrastructure program is expected to boost the Fetch.ai ecosystem. So, what's the deal with Fetch Compute? Well, imagine having a massive toolkit at your fingertips, filled with the latest and greatest computing power and training capabilities. It's like having a personal trainer for your AI projects but without the annoying motivational speeches. But how is this project going to boost its FET token?
