Bitcoin stands still
On Tuesday, crypto assets were generally intact, with Bitcoin keeping to the $3,400 band in the face of a lack of triggers for key price action.
Market participants paid attention to the latest crypto industry news, in particular Kraken’s recent statement. So, one of the most popular crypto exchanges in the United States told that it would have UK-based index provider Crypto Facilities acquired.

As Kraken officials told, in the nearer future they’re going to resume enhancing and expanding these offerings.
Eventually, Kraken managed to process approximately $90 billion in trading volume the previous year.
