Source: Meta Masters Guild/Twitter The Meta Masters Guild presale total has now surged to more than $3.3 million, having raised $3 million only yesterday. This acceleration stands as a significant market-wide endorsement of the Web3 play-to-earn gaming guild, which plans to launch its first game in the third quarter of the year.

However, the sixth stage is due to begin in only two days, with the incoming price rise partly explaining why the sale has sped up and continues to speed up.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have been cruising along the market, with their prices staying above $23,000 and $1,500 respectively. This has contributed to an overall growth of the global crypto market cap which currently stands at $1.05 trillion, showing a 0.91% increase in the last 24 hours.  Despite this, traders appear to be reluctant to make any significant offers ahead of the US Federal Reserve's announcement. This article will focus on Bitcoin prices and Ethereum prediction, as well as the current US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and Fed rate today.  Since the beginning of this year, the cryptocurrency markets have been stable and flashing green, which could be attributed to the Federal Reserve's potential dovish stance.  A deal signed by DekaBank with Metaco to begin providing digital assets to institutions will have a significant impact on the crypto market, in addition to the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate hike. FOMC and Fed...

Optimism price rally to new all-time highs could be a harbinger of a better 2023, following a dismal performance in 2022. Over the last couple of weeks, Optimism’s value grew by 41% to trade at $2.36 at the time of writing. Cumulatively, investor holdings surged 147% in 30 days, pushing OP 479% above its all-time low of $0.40 on June 18, 2022. Following that swing to a new all-time high of $2.50 on January 25, 2023, Optimism price is down 6.7%, as it absorbs increasing selling pressure, as investors cash out for profit. CoinMarketCap shows a massive spike in the 24-hour trading volume to $700 million. OP/USD monthly price chart Analysts have in the past concluded that large trading activities are an indication of investors taking on greater risks, which suggests numerous individuals are expecting OP to hit another all-time high. Put simply, there is optimism that OP price will exceed its previous peak. What’s Driving Optimism Price Rally? Apart from a gen...

Source: Meta Masters Guild The Meta Masters Guild presale has now raised just over $1.35 million, with only six days remaining until the sale moves from stage three to stage four. This means that the offering price of one MEMAG token will rise from $0.013 to $0.016, making it 23% more expensive for early buyers to invest ahead of the wider market. But with the play-to-earn gaming platform set to launch a range of exciting mobile-based games from the third quarter of the year onwards, it's likely that MEMAG's price will rise much higher than this once it launches on exchanges and accumulates more users. Play-to-Earn Crypto Meta Masters Guild Presale Reaches $1.3 Million Raised – Limited Time to Invest at Low Prices Only a week ago, Meta Masters Guild's presale's had raised only $500,000.

Image Source: Silvergate  Silvergate shares moved higher on Tuesday after the crypto bank assured investors it is taking steps to weather the FTX collapse despite posting a $1 billion loss in the last quarter of 2022.  Silvergate posted its fourth-quarter results on Tuesday, reporting a net loss of $1 billion for the latest quarter of 2022, compared with a net income of $40.6 million for the third quarter and a net income of $18 million for the same period a year earlier.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the world's two most popular digital currencies, maintained their lengthy upward trend and surpassed highs of $21,000 and $1,500, respectively. The mining difficulty of the Bitcoin network has recently reached an all-time high, making it more difficult for miners to make a profit.  This increase in difficulty could have an effect on the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum, as it could affect the profitability of mining these digital coins.
