The Bitcoin futures market continues to impact, with the gains today coming off the back of the Cboe’s January contract rising $1,105 to $14,855.46 at the time of writing. With Bitcoin sitting at $14,885.2, there’s not more room for Bitcoin to move, barring further gains in the futures market through the early part of the day.

While focus this week has been on the regulatory risk side of things, there is also SegWit2X fork for the cryptomarkets to consider. SegWit2X reduces the transaction sizes, leading to lower transaction fees and increased speeds that should ease the number of pending transactions. This is the 2nd version of the SegWit2X, the first having been cancelled in November.

Adoption rates are low at present and there are plenty of concerns over the team behind the fork, which is completely different to the original SegWit2X team. One of the main concerns is the fact that they have proposed to receive 6 million pre-mined coins, quite high when considering a total of 21 million coins on offer.
