During the weekend, Cryptocurrencies were moving in a tight range with low volume, but the beginning of a new trading week has brought buyers to the markets. Early morning has seen the main cryptocurrencies retake the bullish path, as Bitcoin (+2.46%) is making another attempt to cross the $7K and Ethereum (+3.76%) aims to cross the $150 level. Tron(+8.69, Monero(+7.64%) and ATOM(+6.34%) are the best 24-hour performers. Ethereum-based tokens are lagging the crypto coins, with MKR losing 4.4 percent. That doesn’t mean we cannot find good upward movers, such as QNT(+7.8%) or ZIL(+21.26%).
The market capitalization is currently $193.23 billion, a 1.73% change over its previous value. The traded volume in the last 24H increased by 0.92 percent to $31.08 billion. Finally, Bitcoin dominance has increased slightly and now is 65.64 percent.

On April 03, The Blockchain Association, a U.S. Based association in the crypto area, has filed a brief on the U.S. Court of appeals that accuses the U.S. Sec of backtracking its own guidance on digital assets. In the summary of the argument, it states that “Before filing this action, the Commission had provided limited guidance on how to fund and introduce blockchain networks. But what it had said differs drastically from its position in this case and the decision below.”
Telegram had structured the fundraising for TON in two parts, the first of which was following the current exemptions for private placements, Whereas, the second involved the distribution of “functional assets.”
“The district court erred by conflating Telegram’s private placement and the future delivery of blockchain tokens. The two steps are legally and temporally distinct. Indeed, the tokens did not even exist at the time of the private placement. Treating the two steps as one defeats the purpose of the Commission’s private-placement rules.”
