Crypto service provider Matrixport is teaming up with crypto custodian Copper to improve its clients' access to prime brokerage offerings. The partnership will involve Matrixport integrating with Copper's ClearLoop to provide institutional clients with off-exchange settlement. Copper's ClearLoop network allows investors to hold onto assets until just before a trade is executed by connecting multiple exchanges in one secure trading loop. This ensures clients are protected from exchange counterparty risks and promotes capital efficiency, according to the press release. The collaboration demonstrates the companies' shared commitment to building a more secure, transparent, and accessible financial market infrastructure in the digital asset industry.

According to analysts at Matrixport, Bitcoin could rally as much as 20% to reach around $36,000 USD. The analysts cite several technical indicators, including a bullish divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and a possible reversal in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, as evidence of the potential rally. However, the analysts also caution that Bitcoin's price could face resistance at around $35,000 USD, which could limit the size of the potential rally.

He added that the issue "does not appear to be around stablecoins" in itself. (Cointelegraph)
