Fidelity, Schwab, Citadel-Backed Crypto Exchange EDX Markets Appoints New CEO

Published

on

EDX Markets, the institution-only crypto exchange that started operations in June 2023 with support from Wall Street giants like Fidelity, Charles Schwab and Citadel Securities, has appointed its current chief technology officer, Tony Acuña-Rohter, as CEO.

Wall Street veteran Jamil Nazarali, the founder and current CEO of the exchange, will move to the position of executive chairman of the board, according to a <a href=»https://edxmarkets.com/edx-appoints-jamil-nazarali-executive-chair-tony-acuna-rohter-to-serve-as-ceo/» target=»_blank»>press release</a>.

Acuña-Rohter previously served as the chief technology officer of the firm since joining in 2022. Before EDX, he was the CTO of ErisX, a crypto firm acquired by Cboe in late 2021 that led to the start of Cboe Digital, the crypto arm of Cboe.

“I am proud to have led EDX through its initial start-up phase and to have built such a strong team of leaders and operators across the firm,” said Jamil Nazarali, Executive Chair, EDX. “EDX promptly reached significant volumes and has seen a growing client base and strong institutional and retail flows since launch. Now is the right time to transition operational responsibilities to a new generation of leaders.”

EDX announced its creation in September 2022 with backing from major investment firms, instantly drawing attention to the new project, also because of its separation between the exchange function and the broker dealer function. The crypto exchange differs from others, because it doesn’t custody customers’ digital assets and instead forces users to go through financial intermediaries to buy and sell assets.

The platform currently offers six tokens — bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), litecoin (LITE), bitcoin cash (BCH), shiba inu (SHIB) and dogecoin (DOGE) — the latter two which were added in November.

Trading volume on the platform has been strong as of late, the company said in a <a href=»https://edxmarkets.com/edx-markets-reports-record-volumes-unveils-new-matching-engine-and-launches-shib-and-doge/» target=»_blank»>blog post</a> in November, with more than $36 billion in notional volume since the start of the year.

SHIB Slides 5% but Finds Support as Loyal Holders Hold Their Ground

Published

on

By

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has stabilized following significant price volatility, establishing a consolidation pattern between $0.00001440 and $0.00001456.

The meme token faced intense selling pressure with volume reaching 1.72 trillion during peak decline, but multiple tests of support at $0.00001440 showed strong buyer interest.

Despite short-term fluctuations, blockchain data reveals remarkable holder loyalty, with over 1.13 million addresses maintaining their positions for more than a year, signaling confidence in SHIB’s long-term prospects.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem continues development with a significant Shibarium blockchain update focused on improving decentralization. This aligns with the team’s strategy to enhance utility beyond meme status.

While technical indicators show mixed signals with moderate bullish momentum but lacking strong breakout confirmation, AI predictions from platforms like Google’s Gemini suggest potential growth to $0.00003 by 2025, representing a possible 105.9% increase from current levels.

Technical Analysis Highlights

  • SHIB experienced a notable 5.4% price decline over the 24-hour period, with the overall range spanning from a high of 0.00001507 to a low of 0.00001424, representing a volatility range of 0.00000083 (5.5%).
  • The token found strong volume-supported resistance at the 0.0000146 level during the 23:00 hour when selling pressure intensified with volume reaching 1.72 trillion, significantly above the 24-hour average.
  • After the sharp decline, SHIB established a consolidation pattern between 0.00001440 and 0.00001456, with multiple tests of support at 0.00001440 showing buyer interest, suggesting potential stabilization before the next directional move.
  • In the past hour, SHIB experienced significant downward pressure, dropping from 0.00001448 to 0.00001440, representing a 0.56% decline.
  • The token faced intense selling between 13:54-13:57, with volume spiking to 16.45 trillion at 13:57, creating a local bottom at 0.00001430.
  • A brief recovery attempt occurred at 14:01 when price rebounded to 0.00001441, forming a potential support zone between 0.00001439-0.00001440, though momentum remains bearish as evidenced by the inability to reclaim the 0.00001445 resistance level.
