Days ago, cryptocurrencies plummeted. All after China intensified its crypto mining crackdown. As reported by CNBC, "Many bitcoin mines in Sichuan were shuttered Sunday after authorities in the southwestern Chinese province ordered a halt to crypto mining, according to a report from the Communist Party-backed newspaper Global Times. More than 90% of China's bitcoin mining capacity is estimated to be shut down, the paper said." However, even with all of the doom and gloom, Billionaire Tim Draper, for example, says Bitcoin could see $250,000 by the end of 2022. That could be bullish for companies such as Tokens.com Corp. (NEO:COIN)(FSE:76M), Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ:RIOT), Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA), HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:HIVE)(OTC:HVBTF), and Bit Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:BTBT).
In addition, "Though regulatory uncertainty in the U.S. and elsewhere remains, BTIG Strategy and FinTech [teams] see the long-term case for digital assets — the transformational power of blockchain, a store of value in an increasingly uncertain and inflation prone world — stronger than ever, and we reiterate our year-end 2021 price targets for bitcoin, $50,000, and Ether, $5,000 and would take advantage of the present weakness to add to core holdings," said BTIG strategist Julian Emanuel, as quoted by Yahoo Finance.
