Bitcoin market watch 4/20/2017
Even though the scaling and block size argument carries on, this week the bigger focus continues to be on the halting of distributions and deposits of USD from numerous bitcoin exchanges, such as Bitfinex and OKCoin. A lot of the transactions continue to be able to process USD, but are having a harder and harder time doing this due to an unfavorable regulatory milieu. Further clarification and breakdown of the constraints can be found here. Despite all this, the bitcoin cost has extended to increase This week, with discrepancies in cost among all the USD exchanges. Currently, there's a $57 differential between Bitfinex and Bitstamp, which is extraordinarily high.
Typically, large cost variations are smoothed over through *Arbitraging*, when an asset is purchased or sold on one exchange and purchased or sold on another exchange for profit. When arbitraging doesn't occur, or is not able to equalize the price, there's probably an artificial supply or need bottleneck accounting for the differential. Knowing that Bitfinex is having treatment difficulty USD implies that so as to leave the exchange, you should first purchase an electronic money and move the money out. For many people, this is simply simpler than dealing with the current USD limitations. Even though it is unlikely that the bullish movement is completely due to users exiting the exchange, it probably plays a role and might partly explain why Bitfinex cost is so much higher compared to the other exchanges.
The other unknown is why Bitstamp cost is running so much lower than all the other exchanges. GDAX, a regulated U.S. Bitcoin, ether and litecoin exchange, probably has the fewest USD supply\/demand variables because of the ease with which they are able to process USD. If USD held per exchange was readable, This will help assuage the concerns that exchanges might choose to halt the USD trading pair completely, however this metric is probably not available to the public. All this and more occurs in a Core vs. Unlimited stalemate. Miner and node support has remained essentially unchanged since a week ago. Support unit for the SegWit user activated soft fork has remained unchanged as well.
