The road to success remains uncertain for the crypto market, as most coins were experiencing volatility at the time of writing. Bitcoin and Ethereum were flowing through a red river, with their prices down by 7.8% and 12.8% respectively, in the last week. The weekly crypto news world is packed with stories about blockchain alliances, stablecoin expansion, the US government shutdown, and more.

The crypto market has been less happy than last month, as the majority of the coins reflected unhealthy price movements due to macroeconomic factors. Since crypto news often mirrors market behavior, the sector has been running out of optimistic stories. However, blockchain and DeFi protocol alliances have added some bullish emotions in the news world.
Moreover, increased stablecoin adoption, Australia’s concern for tokenization, and Binance’s partnership with Buenos Aires to promote sensible crypto adoption have ignited the crypto realm.
