While August was ‘mildly bullish’, September was a let-down in many ways mainly due to the lack of involvement from institutional investors.

So, let’s take a closer look at some of the events driving the crypto markets over the last few weeks. Bakkt’s lacklustre launch to institutional investors At the end of August and ahead of the upcoming launch of Bakkt, market sentiment was mildly bullish.

Bitcoin shows signs of life with move towards $8,600
Despite being battered and bruised over the past month, Bitcoin has recovered from last week's $7,800 low with a 3.81% 24-hour rally to test $8,600. The rise in price coincides with mounting political tension between China and the United States, with global stock markets also taking a hit. Bitcoin, in the same way as gold, has often been touted as a hedge to the existing financial system in that it doesn't rely on policy changes, interest rates or inflation. Its nature as a decentralised asset has seen retail investors flock to Bitcoin in recent years, although this, coupled with a lack of liquidity, has increased levels of volatility. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin experienced a swift rejection from the 200The post Bitcoin shows signs of life with move towards $8,600 appeared first on Coin Rivet.

Brazil and South America lead the way on LocalBitcoins
Mass cryptocurrency adoption can only take place if regular people feel it is safe, easy, and beneficial to join the space. Without a shift in mentality, I doubt institutional investors alone will be able to drive worldwide adoption. Much like what happened with computers or the internet, without people to create valuable network effects - like art, content, trading, advertising, and so on - there is little chance cryptocurrency prices will explode. Therefore, we should praise countries leading the way in cryptocurrency adoption. Over the course of 2019, South America has seen a huge boost in cryptocurrency adoption, with Brazil particularly seeing a substantial rise in crypto users.
