The week of 02/08 at a glance – News about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is in constant turmoil. It can happen that important information gets lost in the daily news flow and you miss important points.

This format is there to remedy that. We return to the news of the past week in the Crypto Weekly to keep you informed on the current situation of cryptocurrencies.

The unmissable of the corner

For this week’s must-see, we’re going to look at an article I had the pleasure of writing. As Ethereum struggles with ever higher transaction fees, second-layer solutions like Optimism seek to address scalability issues . Let’s see what Optimism is.

Ethereum’s problems

As it stands, the Bitcoin Supersplit network has a processing capacity of around thirty transactions per second . Although its characteristics have allowed it to evolve so far, the limits of the network have not ceased to be reached since the beginning of 2020.

In practice, the network has consistently exceeded 90% usage from April 2020 . A level which has continued to increase to reach 97.8% at the time of writing. As a reminder, the use of the network is calculated according to the average of the gas consumed, compared to the maximum gas limit set by the protocol.

As a result of this high usage, network transaction fees exploded, finally reaching a record average of $ 17.5 . Worse still: some interactions with decentralized applications can cost tens of dollars in fees.

The second layer to the rescue

As it stands, the majority of traffic recorded by Ethereum, as well as a large part of its decentralized applications, takes place on layer 1, namely the Ethereum blockchain.

Therefore, the vast majority of actions performed on Ethereum tap into the limited capacity of the network.

Second-layer solutions aim to deport part of the activity out of the main chain . However, these are based on the main chain to ensure better security.

Optimism

Optimism is a project initiated in June 2019, which takes advantage of Rollups to offer a second layer solution to the Ethereum network. In theory, this solution would be able to process more than 20,000 transactions per second .

It therefore provides almost instantaneous transactions , smart contracts and, all without the need for gas .

The project is led by the Optimism Public Benefit Corporation , founded by Jinglan Wang.

The protocol made headlines in September 2020 with the launch of a testnet on Ethereum. Building on this success, the protocol was finally deployed on the mainnet on January 15, 2021 .

Expansion plans in Europe and a series of mergers have led Voyager’s Token to rise 926% in less than a month.

 

Voyager’s Token (VGX) gains 926% as mergers and acquisitions bring new usersALTCOIN WATCH

 

 

Voyager Token (VGX), also known as BQX in some exchanges, is the native token of Voyager cryptomeda.

 

The exchange splits from its competitors claiming to be a Bitcoin Bonanza commission-free cryptomeda platform and its intelligent ordering router also allows customers to trade on several exchanges.

 

Since the turn of the year, VGX has won 620% and on January 15 the token reached a new historic high of $1.48.

Besides having a fiat gateway, the platform also offers market data, interactive charts, crypto search and up to 9% interest in stablecoins, along with staking returns for Bitcoin and other crypto currencies if users leave them in their portfolios on the exchange.

 

Token activity grows exponentially

On-chain data shows that activity started to pick up just a few weeks ago, with the number of daily active addresses surpassing 1,500 while transfers quickly reached $60 million.

The Invest Voyager application allows traders to earn interest without locking up and users staking a certain amount of VGX token unlocks higher yields. In addition, the platform belongs to a Canadian listed company, Voyager Digital Ltd. (CSE: VYGR), a fully regulated entity with a market capitalization of $600 million.

 

The listing agreement for Canada’s TSX exchange also conceals an interesting story. By acquiring an extinct front company, Voyager managed a reverse merger in February 2019. What is interesting is that not a single dollar was paid for the deal, which involved shares in the new company.

 

In October 2019, Voyager announced a partnership with Celsius Network to manage a portion of its customers‘ assets. In this way, the brokerage house was able to diversify its offer of holdings.

 

Another notable milestone was the acquisition of Circle Invest completed in February 2020, converting over 40,000 accounts. Circle Invest was previously involved with stablecoin USD Coin (USD) in addition to the Poloniex exchange, although both projects had already been divested. It is worth noting that the business did not involve money, but was liquidated in shares of Voyager Digital.

 

These developments explain the current increase in user accounts and token activity and, similar to Coinbase, Voyager’s entry into force and regulated status may make the exchange a primary choice for future investors in cryptomorphic currencies located in the United States.

 

 

 

VGX price growth follows new acquisitions and expansion in Europe

Currently, Voyager exchanges are available to all U.S. states except New York while the company awaits BitLicense approval. In October 2020, Voyager Digital acquired LGO, based in France, a fully licensed European digital asset exchange aimed at institutional investors.

 

LGO CEO Hugo Renaudin explained that the French company would discontinue its dedicated institutional exchange, while LGO would operate under the Voyager brand, though with a retail focus.

 

The overall volume traded on the Voyager platform reached US$120 million in November 2020, while its assets under management exceeded US$485 million on 15 January. To date, more than 200,000 users have downloaded iOS and Android applications and the expansion in Europe is expected to increase the platform’s user base.

Data from TheTIE, an alternative platform for social analysis, show that the recent increase in prices was preceded by increased activity on social networks. In addition to some users complaining about withdrawal problems related to KYC, the general sentiment around Voyager, VGX, is positive.

 

Offering annualised interest returns of up to 9.5% on stablecoins and being a fully licensed brokerage firm offering trading and staking of altcoins to US citizens appear to be the main drivers of the platform’s momentum.

 

As for the economy behind the VGX token, the possibility of a debit card with cash rewards, discount on withdrawal rate and increased staking interest may be needed to boost its valuation further.

Tether will not be targeted by the SEC, assures Bitfinex CTO

Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Bitfinex: USDT is not less regulated than its competitors, claiming otherwise is just FUD

Paolo Ardoino, the outspoken Chief Technology Officer of Bitfinex, has allayed traders‘ concerns about Tether becoming the next target of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Responding to a tweet from Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, Ardoino said that Tether adheres to the stricter US Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering regulations set by Treasury Bitcoin Code Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). In other words, the rumours that Tether is ‚less regulated‘ than its competitors is just FUD.

In his tweet, Ki Young had stated:

„If the SEC’s next target is Tether, it would be an extremely negative development for this bull run, as the market is heavily dependent on USDT.“

Ardoino then responded:

„I would like to mention that Tether is registered and regulated with FinCEN, just like all its centralised competitors. Strict KYC and AML processes are applied to all direct users of Tether, just as other major issuers do. To say it is ‚less regulated‘ is just FUD. Ask yourself this question: who would benefit from spreading such misinformation?“

Reminder: #Tether is registered and regulated under FinCEN as all the centralised competitors. Strict KYC/AML is applied to all Tether direct users, as the other main issuers are doing. Less regulated is just FUD. Ask yourself who benefits from spreading such misinformation? https://t.co/0izlgpJ75r
– Paolo Ardoino (@paoloardoino) December 30, 2020

However, Ardoino’s response does not address the concerns highlighted by Ki Young: stablecoin may indeed have circumvented security laws, especially if its dollar reserves are truly compromised.

General charged Tether and its subsidiary Bitfinex

In 2019, the New York Attorney General charged Tether and its subsidiary Bitfinex with conducting an unregistered securities offering. The document claims that the company allegedly lent USDT to investors, raising suspicions that the digital coins are not fully backed by US dollar reserves, as the company claims.

For several years now, the USDT stablecoin, which appears to be only roughly pegged to the US dollar, has been at the centre of numerous controversies. In 2018, researchers John Griffin and Amin Shams accused Tether of using its stablecoin to manipulate the Bitcoin (BTC) market, sending its price soaring to $20,000 in late 2017.

Both Tether and Bitfinex were sued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to prove that USDT was indeed backed by an equivalent amount of US dollars. Despite numerous allegations, to date no one has yet been able to prove any wrongdoing.

In the meantime, the crypto community is awaiting the outcome of the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, which is accused of conducting an unauthorised securities offering. However, the San Francisco-based company has urged market participants not to draw any hasty conclusions from the lawsuit.

Bullish for Bitcoin: Yhdysvaltain inflaatio-odotus puhkeaa vuosikymmenen pitkästä laskutrendistä

Niiden monien syiden joukossa, joissa Bitcoin kääntyi nousuun vuonna 2020, johtui ennen kaikkea ennennäkemättömän Bitcoin Up rahapainamisen aiheuttamasta äkillisestä inflaation pelosta. Jokainen uusi ärsykerengas johti jälleen suureen kriittisen valuutan ralliin, mikä auttoi sen nousua 3000 dollarista yli 34 000 dollariin.

Inflaatio-odotukset ovat olleet laskussa siitä lähtien, kun suuri taantuma päättyi, mutta metriikka juuri puhkesi lähes vuosikymmenen pitkästä laskutrendistä, joka alkoi, kun Bitcoin syntyi. Pitävätkö nousevat inflaatiopelot kryptovaluutan hintojen nousua pitkällä aikavälillä?

Inflaatiopelot ovat hämmentyneitä, voivat aiheuttaa Bitcoin FOMOlle nopean vauhdin

Suuresta taantumasta lähtien keskuspankit ovat luottaneet määrälliseen keventämiseen antaakseen taloudelle käsivarren. Joka kerta, kun tämä tehdään, kiertävä fiat-rahan kokonaismäärä, joka koostuu dollarista, eurosta, jenistä, yuanista ja muusta, alkaa kasvaa.

Inflaation tapahtuessa rahan ostovoima pienenee. Tavallinen 2 prosentin inflaatio on selvästi vaarassa nousta jyrkästi, ja yleisö on jo alkanut ymmärtää, että tavarat alkavat maksaa enemmän.

Niin sanottu vastuu siirtyy jokapäiväiselle kuluttajalle, jonka on joko alennettava elintasoaan tai työskenneltävä enemmän tunteja ostovoiman vähenemisen kompensoimiseksi.

Suuren taantuman pankkitilit ja rahatulostus kannustivat Bitcoinin kehitykseen, ja yli vuosikymmenen jälkeistä kryptovaluutta käytetään nyt suojaamaan inflaatiota vastaan ​​- tapaa, jolla Satoshi suunnitteli sen.

Yhdysvaltain inflaatio-odotukset alkavat nousta ja Bitcoin saa laajan käyttöönoton | Lähde: Bloomberg Crescat Capital LLC: n kautta

Ja Yhdysvaltain inflaatio-odotusten kanssa, Bloombergin tietojen mukaan, purkautuessaan vuosikymmenen pituisesta laskusuuntauksesta, Bitcoinista voi pian tulla entistä houkuttelevampi kuin jo sijoittajille.

Bitcoinilla oli tarkoitus olla tiettyjä ominaisuuksia, jotka tekivät siitä samanlaisen kuin kulta – omaisuus, jota kryptovaluutan luoja oli erityisen kiinnostunut. Ensinnäkin, jotta varmistettaisiin, että hajautettu kolikko oli niukkaa, harvinaista, ja jotain, mitä ihmiset haluaisivat „kerätä“ Nakamoton, rajoitti tarjontaa vain 21 miljoonalla BTC: llä.

Siitä hetkestä, kun ärsyketarkastukset leikattiin, Bitcoin on ollut repeytynyt | Lähde: BTCUSD TradingView.com-sivustolla

Maailman rikkaimmat ihmiset ostavat nyt Bitcoinia estääkseen varallisuutensa haihtumasta ohueksi ilmaksi. Ja jos inflaatio-odotukset ovat vasta puhkeamassa kymmenen vuoden laskusuuntauksesta, Bitcoinin nousutrendi saattaa olla vasta alkamassa.

Liittyvä lukeminen Miksi sijoittajat käyttävät stimulaatiotarkastuksia ostaakseen Bitcoinia

Siitä hetkestä lähtien, kun viritys alkoi virrata pandemian seurauksena, johtava kryptovaluutta markkina-arvon mukaan on kasvanut lähes 800% ja lisännyt miljardeja sen markkina-arvoon.

Pelkästään inflaatiopeloista on helppo nähdä, kuinka analyytikot ovat keksineet niin korkeat tavoitteet jokaisen Bitcoinin hinnalle pitkällä aikavälillä.

O XRP afunda novamente abaixo do LTC após nova ação judicial de um grande investidor

A XRP caiu abaixo da Litecoin por limite de mercado depois que um grande investidor entrou com uma nova ação judicial contra a Ripple.

A XRP perdeu mais uma vez seu lugar como a quarta maior moeda criptográfica, com processos contra a Ripple após um de seus maiores investidores ter seguido a SEC na apresentação de uma reclamação contra o projeto.

De acordo com um relatório de 6 de janeiro da Bloomberg, a Tetragon, um dos principais investidores em Bitcoin Up uma rodada de financiamento de US$ 200 milhões da Série C para a Ripple em 2019, apresentou uma reclamação contra a empresa no Tribunal de Chancelaria de Delaware.

A empresa de investimento alega que está buscando um tribunal para „fazer valer seu direito contratual de exigir que a Ripple resgate“ das ações preferenciais da Série C detidas pela Tetragon. Além disso, a empresa está solicitando ao tribunal que impeça a Ripple de usar „qualquer dinheiro ou outros ativos líquidos“ até que o assunto seja resolvido.

Estados Unidos ao apresentar a ação

A Ripple respondeu às alegações, alegando que a ação judicial não tem „nenhum mérito“ e acusando a Tetragon de tirar vantagem da „falta de clareza regulatória“ nos Estados Unidos ao apresentar a ação.

Os executivos da firma criticaram anteriormente os reguladores nos Estados Unidos – sugerindo que a firma mudaria sua sede para fora da costa para fugir da „regulamentação através da aplicação da lei“ dos Estados Unidos.

Em meio a processos da Comissão de Valores Mobiliários dos EUA, ou SEC, e agora da Tetragon, a XRP perdeu sua posição como a quarta maior moeda criptográfica por capitalização de mercado. De acordo com dados da CoinMarketCap, a capitalização de mercado de US$ 10,3 bilhões da XRP está atrás dos US$ 10,5 da Litecoin, com a LTC tendo crescido 26% nos últimos sete dias enquanto a capitalização de mercado da XRP estagnou. A Litecoin „virou“ o XRP pela primeira vez no domingo, mas foi um movimento de curta duração.

Em dezembro, a SEC encarregou o CEO da Ripple Brad Garlinghouse e o co-fundador Chris Larsen de realizar uma „oferta de ativos digitais não-registrados e contínuos“ para suas vendas de XRP. O caso está agendado para uma conferência virtual de pré-julgamento em fevereiro.

Após as notícias, as trocas criptográficas incluindo Coinbase, Bittrex, OKCoin, Bitstamp, OSL, Beaxy e CrossTower se distanciaram do XRP. Alguns anunciaram que suspenderiam a negociação para o XRP, enquanto outros desistirão totalmente da ficha.

No momento da publicação, o preço do XRP é de US$ 0,22, tendo caído 70% desde o final de novembro.

LTC sta affrontando una resistenza rispettivamente a $ 185 e $ 225.

Il conteggio delle ondate suggerisce che LTC ha iniziato un impulso rialzista con i minimi di marzo.

Il 4 gennaio, il Il prezzo di Crypto Code ha raggiunto un massimo di $ 173, un massimo che non si vedeva dal 2018.

Mentre potrebbe continuare ad aumentare e raggiungere l’area di resistenza di $ 185, sembra che l’attuale rally sia pesante e seguirà presto un movimento correttivo.

Il movimento a lungo termine di LTC

Il grafico settimanale mostra che LTC si è finalmente spostato sopra i massimi di giugno 2019 a $ 145 e ha effettivamente raggiunto una chiusura settimanale al di sopra di questo livello.

Se continua ad aumentare, le prossime aree di resistenza sarebbero rispettivamente a $ 186 e $ 225, i livelli di ritracciamento di 0,5 e 0,618 Fib.

Gli indicatori tecnici sono rialzisti, supportando la possibilità di un breakout e un graduale spostamento verso le aree di resistenza delineate.

Il trader di criptovaluta @ Pentosh1 ha delineato un grafico, affermando che una volta superata l’area di resistenza finale a $ 140, è probabile che seguirà un significativo movimento al rialzo.

Dal tweet, LTC si è spostato al di sopra di questo livello ed è quindi probabile che continui ad aumentare.

Il grafico giornaliero mostra segni di debolezza, sotto forma di una divergenza ribassista nell’RSI. Tuttavia, sia il MACD che lo Stochastic Oscillator sono rialzisti.

A causa del tasso di crescita molto rapido, non ci sono aree di supporto significative. Il più vicino è a $ 120.

Il grafico a due ore mostra segni di continuazione sotto forma di divergenza rialzista nascosta nell’RSI. In combinazione con lo stoppino lungo inferiore, ciò suggerisce che è probabile che LTC si muova verso l’alto.

Three Arrows Capital, un fonds spéculatif basé à Singapour, a éclipsé 1 milliard de dollars en avoirs Bitcoin.

La société d’investissement a acheté le Bitcoin via Grayscale, une société de gestion d’actifs numériques.

Three Arrows Capital est la deuxième entreprise à investir plus d’un milliard de dollars dans Bitcoin après MicroStrategy.

Au cours de l’année dernière, certains des plus grands fonds spéculatifs et sociétés de capital-risque au monde ont investi dans Bitcoin.

Beaucoup ont choisi d’investir dans Bitcoin comme couverture potentielle contre l’inflation et comme stockage et transfert de valeur plus efficaces. Three Arrows Capital, un fonds spéculatif basé à Singapour, est la deuxième société en plus de MicroStrategy à investir dans plus d’un milliard de dollars dans BTC.

Cependant, Three Arrows ne possède pas directement le Bitcoin, car il est géré par la société de gestion d’actifs numériques Grayscale. Grayscale est une entreprise hautement réglementée et sécurisée qui offre la possibilité aux investisseurs et aux institutions d’investir dans un produit Bitcoin plus sécurisé.
ETF Bitcoin BTC

Grayscale propose une variété de fiducies de crypto-monnaie différentes qui sont cotées en bourse, la plus grande étant de loin son Bitcoin Trust ($ GBTC). Three Arrows possède 38888888 GBTC, ce qui équivaut à 36969 bitcoins.

Kyle Davies, le co-fondateur de Three Arrows Capital, a publié un tweet confirmant la nouvelle:

Three Arrows Capital est la dernière entreprise à investir une grosse somme d’argent dans Bitcoin, mais ce n’est certainement pas la seule.

Des milliards de dollars d’investissements institutionnels sont déjà entrés sur le marché du Bitcoin, à la fois avec et indépendamment de Grayscale, et il ne semble pas que cette tendance d’investissement ralentisse de si tôt.

Alors que Bitcoin faisait face à son premier retracement de 10% depuis la rupture du prix de 20000 $, Samson Mow, CSO chez Blockstream a tweeté,

«Je sais que vous ne paniquez pas vraiment à propos de #Bitcoin, mais au cas où vous le seriez… One River (fonds de 1,6 milliard de dollars) a acheté 600 millions de dollars et achètera 400 millions de dollars de plus, Guggenheim (fonds de 5,3 milliards de dollars) achètera 530 millions de dollars, SkyBridge ( 9,2 G $) a acheté 182 M $, Ruffer (27 G $) a acheté 744 M $, MassMutual (675 G $ AUM) a acheté 100 M $. »

Avec certaines des entreprises et sociétés d’investissement les plus importantes et les plus influentes du monde qui montent dans le train Bitcoin, on peut s’attendre à ce que ce ne soit que le début de l’afflux de capitaux qui entrera sur le marché de la crypto-monnaie.

Les évangélistes influents du PDG devenu Bitcoin comme Davies et Michael Saylor de MicroStrategy continueront probablement de parler de cette technologie et de son potentiel.

Los precios de Bitcoin se dispararon a $ 28,000 la semana pasada, pero falta un elemento clave del mercado.

¿Dónde está el comercio minorista?

Los datos sugieren que un impulsor crítico del mercado de criptomonedas de 2017 aún no ha entrado en los reinos viciosos del espacio infame, volátil y a menudo insoportable.

El sesgo del servicio de análisis tuiteó el domingo que „el interés minorista no ha vuelto a subir“ a pesar de que los precios de Bitcoin alcanzaron niveles récord y otras criptomonedas experimentaron aumentos de precios durante el fin de semana.

Citando datos de Google Trends, el sesgo encontró que las búsquedas minoristas de „Bitcoin“ se mantuvieron en los niveles anteriores a 2017, un momento en que Bitcoin aumentó de menos de $ 1,200 a más de $ 19,000. El activo cayó más del 80% a menos de $ 3,500 a principios de 2019, publicación que el mercado repuntó nuevamente.

Las instituciones están aquí y quieren Bitcoin

Entonces, si no es minorista, ¿quién está comprando? Según los datos de sesgo, son instituciones. Los datos del administrador de fondos institucionales Grayscale mostraron que los activos bajo administración de sus diversos fondos populares cotizados en bolsa alcanzaron los $ 16 mil millones este año.

GBTC, la oferta de Bitcoin de la empresa, representa $ 13 mil millones de ese warchest solo. El producto se comercializa sin receta y es un mercado muy líquido, con más de $ 12 millones negociados cada día. Cada „acción“ de GBTC tiene una pequeña cantidad de Bitcoin al contado, y Grayscale cobra una pequeña prima además de ese valor por esa conveniencia.

El producto, ofrecido por Grayscale Investments, es una de las únicas ofertas de Bitcoin que cotizan en bolsa para ciudadanos estadounidenses y ha ganado popularidad en medio de un sentimiento positivo más amplio por Bitcoin entre los fondos institucionales, las empresas de tecnología y las oficinas familiares en 2020.

Algunos administradores de fondos, como Harris Kupperman de Praetorian Capital, dicen que el GBTC de Grayscale también representa gran parte del movimiento de precios de Bitcoin en 2020. En un blog de principios de este año, dijo el GBTC crea un bucle sin fin de la compra instituciones que compran las acciones, escala de grises Lugar de compra Bitcoin para cubrir esas acciones (haciendo subir los precios), y los participantes del mercado aún más la compra de más de Bitcoin ya que los precios se mueven hacia arriba.

The DC think tank doesn’t see XRP like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

In the upcoming lawsuit against the US securities regulator, Ripple will not receive any support from some key people in the crypto lobby

Jerry Brito, the executive director of Coin Center , made it clear on Tuesday that his organization would not object that XRP is a security.

In response to a question about Coin Center’s work to keep XRP out of the SEC’s purview, Brito posted two articles in which Coin Center argued why Bitcoin and Ethereum are not securities. He pointed out that there was no such contribution for Ripple:

Coin Center is a non-profit advocacy and research group that supports the development of crypto-friendly policies. The organization began lobbying Bitcoin in 2014.

Ripple has been discussing with the SEC for years whether XRP is a security that should fall within the purview of securities regulators. Although Ripple has tried to differentiate itself from XRP , the company holds more than half of the total token offering. Many argue that XRP matches Howey’s test , which views securities as any type of investment where profits are dependent on the work of a third party.

The SEC lawsuit against Ripple was announced by CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who asked the public for their opinion on Twitter on Monday

The XRP course has been in free fall since Garlinghouse made the lawsuit public. The third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization fell below $ 0.50 and posted a double-digit decline in percent.

According to Garlinghouse, a SEC listing is not the end of the world for Ripple or XRP. He told the Pomp Podcast last month that „more than 90 percent of RippleNet customers are outside of the United States .“

Such a determination would then require US investors to complete a broker-dealer registration with the SEC in order to hold XRP. That would be a possible barrier to acceptance.
