The cryptocurrency market is back in high spirits on Dec. 7 after the wider market bounced back from the Dec. 3 downturn in Bitcoin (BTC) price. Currently, bulls are aiming to send the price of BTC above the $52,000 support/resistance level and Ether (ETH) is trying to reclaim $4,400 but both assets are encountering push back at overhead resistance.
Even with BTC and ETH consolidating, traders’ change of sentiment has been a boon for altcoins and many have seen gains in excess of 50% within the past 24-hours.

PolkaBridge opens registration for IDOs
PolkaBridge is a decentralized multichain protocol designed to work as the primary bridge between Polkadot and other networks. The platform also supports an all-in-one platform that includes an automated market maker (AMM) with farming, lending, token launchpads, prediction markets and an NFT marketplace.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after reaching a low of $0.85 on Dec. 6, the price of PBR catapulted 99.4% to reach a daily high of $1.71 on Dec. 7 as its 24-hour trading volume increased 80% to $10.2 million.
The quick turnaround in PBR price comes as the platform opened registration for several upcoming initial decentralized exchange offerings that require users to stake at least 10,000 PBR tokens to qualify for an allocation.
BitTorrent prepares for its mainnet launch
BitTorrent is an established peer-to-peer file sharing and torrent platform that has been making a shift toward a more decentralized design over the past couple of years after being integrated with the Tron ecosystem.
