The GameStop affair: the start of an ascent for cryptocurrencies?

Using Reddit and social media, amateur traders have coordinated their efforts to buy GME stock and drive up the price.

Robinhood has blocked the option to buy GME and other stocks considered volatile.

It will therefore be more complicated to manipulate the market

As the cycle of crazy news on GameStop and Bitcoin Revolution continues and becomes more and more unlikely, I have started looking back to try and make sense of what is going on.

Pyrrhus, in ancient Greek, was „more tyrannical than majestic,“ according to Plutarch. This business of amateur traders, GameStop, cryptocurrencies and hedge funds, reminded me of Pyrrhus.

(Note: Pyrrhus was the Hellenistic King of Epirus whose military successes against Rome and Macedonia resulted in the commonly used phrase “Pyrrhic Victory.” This is why it can be applied to the GameStop and WallStreetBets triumph. .)

At this point, everyone knows the story. Amateur traders, whose numbers have grown during the pandemic thanks to more free time and easy-to-access apps like Robinhood , have found that a number of hedge funds have taken short positions on GameStop, a few other stocks, and some cryptocurrencies.

Using Reddit and social media, amateur traders coordinated their efforts to buy GME stock and drive the price higher . The result (at one point, a 1,700% increase), caught the world’s attention.

It was David against Goliath, in the middle of Covid! The pandemic has created record inequalities in the United States. The rich got richer and almost everyone was left behind. This could draw attention to cryptocurrencies.

Robinhood gives up

So you thought this GameStop affair could be a good opportunity to get up to speed. With all of this information, it would be difficult to interpret what happened as anything other than deep tensions that could lead to more dangerous things.

How was the situation handled? Robinhood, the app named after the hero famous for stealing from the rich to give to the poor, blocked its users‘ option to buy GME and other stocks the company saw as volatile.

While amateur traders could no longer buy, hedge funds had free rein to sell, which allowed them to optimize, lower the price and hedge their damage. Robinhood’s excuse? It depends on when you ask them, why not turn to cryptocurrencies?

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev initially denied that the company had shut down due to cash flow issues , only to change his mind a few days later. You would think that sort of thing would spark outrage, even investigation. While voices from all walks of life spoke about what was going on, there was also something quite disturbing.

Jimmy Kimmel looks for those responsible

An example can be seen on Jimmy Kimmel’s US Tonight Show on Friday, February 5. Describing the GameStop situation, Kimmel said :

“Despite a sharp drop in sales, over the past six months the [GameStop] share price has risen 8,000% because a group of amateur investors, possibly even Russian disruptors, who are doing part of a Reddit community called WallStreetBets, decided to buy a lot of stocks, and therefore to raise the price and beat the hedge funds that had taken a short position in the stock ”.

Now, giving Kimmel the benefit of the doubt, I’ve tried to find articles mentioning these potential “Russian disruptors” behind the GameStop manipulation. Not only is there no mention in all the major media, not even the small media published anything about the Russians.

So how can Jimmy Kimmel – as we collectively revel in the visible damage caused by the spread of conspiracy theories and fake news – can come before his audience of millions of Americans and suggest without any evidence that he is was the work of Russian saboteurs?

Crypto Lawyer postrzega przychodzące krzesło SEC jako wygraną dla Bitcoin, a nie XRP

Jake Chervinsky uważa, że ​​nowy przewodniczący SEC będzie zwolennikiem Bitcoin.

Zatwierdzenie Bitcoin Pro będzie bardziej prawdopodobne po powołaniu Genslera.

Ripple jest nadal zagrożony przez SEC

Trust Project to międzynarodowe konsorcjum organizacji informacyjnych budujących standardy przejrzystości.

Radca prawny ds. Finansów i współprzewodniczący grupy DeFi w Blockchain Association, Jake Chervinsky, uważa, że ​​wprowadzenie Gary’ego Genslera jako nowego przewodniczącego SEC będzie pozytywnym krokiem dla Bitcoina w perspektywie długoterminowej.

SEC staje się Pro-Bitcoin

Przemawiając na Twitterze, Chervinsky skomentował, co jego zdaniem stałoby się, gdyby Gensler został przewodniczącym SEC. Prawnik wyjaśnia, że ​​wierzy, że Gensler będzie prowadził politykę na korzyść Bitcoina.

Powszechnie wiadomo, że nowo wybrany prezydent Joe Biden mianuje Geslera na stanowisko przewodniczącego SEC. Ruch, który prawdopodobnie uspokoiłby społeczność kryptowalut.

Bitcoin dobry, zły Ripple?

Gensler ma pozytywne nastawienie do kryptowalut i przyjęcia blockchaina, posuwając się nawet do nazwania Bitcoin nowoczesną formą złota. Znany jest również z prowadzenia kursów dotyczących technologii blockchain i Bitcoin na MIT.

Chervinsky skomentował potencjalne powołanie Genslera, dodając, że Gensler „głęboko rozumie kryptowaluty i od lat mocno wspiera Bitcoin”.

Ponadto Chervinsky uważa, że ​​nominacja spowoduje zmianę polityki na korzyść funduszu wymiany bitcoinów (ETF) .

Gensler stwierdził również wcześniej, że istnieją mocne argumenty przemawiające za tym, że XRP jest zabezpieczeniem, co może oznaczać, że obecne nieszczęścia i niedawne zarzuty postawione Ripple przez SEC pozostaną.

Kontynuując proces myślowy, Chervinsky wyjaśnił, że Gensler mógł zmienić zdanie na temat XRP działającego jako zabezpieczenie. Jednak szanse, że nadchodzący przewodniczący (który nie był obecny przy śledztwie) cofnął decyzję SEC, byłyby mało prawdopodobne.

Uchwyty Bitcoinów Uważajcie: Od łowienia ryb do podróbek, oto 5 najlepszych sposobów na kradzież krypty.

Pomimo znacznego wzrostu cen Bitcoinów i innych krypto walut w 2020 r., ilość skradzionych krypto walut w wyniku hakerów jest w rzeczywistości mniejsza niż w 2019 r.

Według raportu firmy Ciphertrace, łączna kwota skradzionych środków wyniosła szacunkowo 468 milionów dolarów.

Zgodnie z oficjalnym komentarzem Binance’a, 7,000 haków The News Spy stało się możliwe po tym jak hakerzy zebrali klucze API, 2FA i inne dane.

Większość ataków w 2020 roku miała miejsce na projekty DeFi, co świadczy o niedojrzałości tego szybko rozwijającego się segmentu. Niemniej jednak, liczba skradzionych kryptotek z usług scentralizowanych jest nadal znacznie wyższa. Przykładowo, w wyniku włamania do Kucoinu skradziono krypto walutę w równowartości 275 mln dolarów. Hacki DeFi stanowią około 21% wolumenu hakowania i kradzieży kryptotek w 2020 roku.

Niemniej jednak hakerzy atakują nie tylko platformy z kryptokurrency, ale również użytkowników. Codziennie w Internecie publikowane są historie o tym, jak hakerzy ukradli krypto walutę użytkownika, uzyskując dostęp do jego portfela lub konta wymiany. Niektórzy użytkownicy nie mają pojęcia, jak wysokie może być ryzyko włamania się na ich konto lub portfel.

Opisane w tym artykule pięć najbardziej popularnych sposobów, w jaki użytkownicy mogą stracić kryptokryptę.

Fałszywe strony phishingowe

Phishing jest rodzajem ataku inżynierii społecznej często wykorzystywanym do kradzieży danych użytkowników, w tym fraz mnemotechnicznych, kluczy prywatnych i danych uwierzytelniających do logowania na platformach kryptokurrency. Zazwyczaj ataki phishingowe wykorzystują fałszywe wiadomości e-mail, które przekonują użytkownika do wprowadzenia poufnych informacji na oszukańczą stronę internetową. Odbiorca jest następnie oszukiwany w celu kliknięcia na złośliwe łącze, co może doprowadzić do wyłudzenia informacji na stronie internetowej lub instalacji złośliwego oprogramowania.

Najprostszym przykładem udanego ataku phishingowego była sprawa MyEtherWallet z 2017 roku. Cyberprzestępcy wysłali wiadomość e-mail do potencjalnych klientów użytkowników MyEtherWallet i ogłosili, że muszą zsynchronizować swój portfel, aby był zgodny z twardym widelcem Ethereum. Po kliknięciu na link, użytkownik został przeniesiony na stronę phishingową, która wyglądała legalnie, ale zawierała dodatkowy, ledwo zauważalny znak w adresie URL. Nieostrożni użytkownicy wprowadzali swoje tajne frazy, klucze prywatne i hasła do portfela, przekazując w ten sposób swoje dane napastnikom i tracąc kryptokurrency.

Najnowszym tego przykładem był udany atak na użytkowników portfeli Ledger. Oszustwo wykorzystało wiadomość e-mail typu phishing, kierując użytkowników do fałszywej wersji strony internetowej Ledger, która zastąpiła homoglif w adresie URL, jak w poprzednim przypadku z MyEtherWallet. Na fałszywej stronie internetowej, niczego niepodejrzewający użytkownicy zostali oszukani, aby pobrać złośliwe oprogramowanie, udając, że jest to aktualizacja bezpieczeństwa, która następnie usuwała saldo z ich portfela w Księdze. Z tego przykładu wynika wniosek, że nawet użytkownicy portfeli sprzętowych nie są chronieni przed atakami typu phishing.

Podobne ataki zostały przeprowadzone na użytkowników wymiany kryptograficznej walut. Oznacza to, że użytkownicy otrzymywaliby list z linkiem do strony internetowej, która jest identyczna z oryginalną, ale z nieco zmienionym adresem URL. W ten sposób atakujący kradną nazwy użytkowników i hasła, a pod pewnymi warunkami mogą wykraść kryptokurrency z portfela giełdy. Mimo to, użytkownicy mają możliwość obrony nawet w przypadku udanego ataku, ponieważ giełdy oferują dodatkowe narzędzia ochrony.

Kradzież klucza API

Niektórzy handlowcy używają narzędzi do automatyzacji handlu, zwanych „handlowanie botami“. W przypadku tego typu oprogramowania, użytkownik musi utworzyć klucze API i zezwolić na pewne uprawnienia, aby bot mógł wchodzić w interakcję ze swoimi środkami.

Często, gdy użytkownik tworzy klucz API, giełda prosi o następujące uprawnienia.

  • Widok – umożliwia przeglądanie wszelkich danych związanych z kontem użytkownika, takich jak historia transakcji, historia zleceń, historia wypłat, saldo, pewne dane użytkownika itp.
  • Trading – pozwala na składanie i anulowanie zleceń.
  • Wypłata – pozwala na wypłatę środków.
  • Biała lista IP – pozwala na wykonywanie dowolnych operacji tylko z określonych adresów IP.

Aby móc handlować kluczami API bota, giełda musi posiadać uprawnienia do przeglądania, handlowania, a czasami do wypłacania środków.

Istnieją różne sposoby na kradzież kluczy API użytkowników przez hakerów. Na przykład, cyberprzestępcy często tworzą złośliwe, „wysokodochodowe“ boty handlowe, dostępne bezpłatnie, aby zwabić użytkownika do wprowadzenia jego kluczy API. Jeśli klucz API ma prawo do wycofania się bez ograniczeń IP, hakerzy mogą natychmiast wycofać całą walutę kryptograficzną z salda użytkownika.

Nawet bez zezwolenia na wypłatę, hakerzy mogą ukraść krypto walutę użytkownika za pomocą strategii pomp, pewnej pary transakcji krypto walut o niskiej płynności. Najczęstszymi przykładami takich ataków są pompa Viacoin i pompa Syscoin. Hakerzy zgromadzili te kryptowaluty i sprzedali je po znacznie zawyżonych kursach w trakcie pompowania za pomocą środków użytkownika.

Bitcoin price: good chances of a new all-time high

The Bitcoin price continued to increase significantly over the Christmas holidays and has since shot up by 25 percentage points. A new all-time high is not unlikely. This bullish development also caused the market dominance of the key currency to rise to a new high for the year of 72.01 crypto key currency.

After the BTC price generated a new all-time high in the previous week and peaked at USD 24,298, investors took advantage of the bullish momentum in the market and rose to a new all-time high above USD 28,000 yesterday, Sunday, December 27th . Starting from this price level, the first profit-taking began, which allowed The News Spy to consolidate to currently USD 26,715. After this tremendous price increase, the reserve currency is currently catching some air and reducing its overbought condition. The course correction towards USD 20,000 mentioned in the previous week’s analysis has not yet materialized. Instead, a new future gap formed, which is only closed with a price correction up to USD 23,710.

Bullish scenario (Bitcoin price)

The price development of the key currency Bitcoin can still be viewed as very bullish. Although the BTC rate corrected its new all-time high by around 6 percentage points in the last 24 hours to currently USD 26,727, it would therefore be presumptuous to speak of a reversal. As long as the BTC price is trading above USD 24,298 and preferably north of the previous day’s low at USD 25,752, the chances of another attack in the direction of the all-time high are quite good. If the bulls manage to break this chart mark upwards, the next important price target in the area of ​​the 161 Fibonacci extension from the monthly chart at USD 29,748 moves into the focus of investors.

At this chart mark, renewed profit-taking is to be expected. If the bulls manage to let the rate of the key currency rise above 30,000 USD in the coming trading days, a march through to the maximum price target for 2020 at 35,075 USD is also conceivable. This is where the 361 Fibonacci extension of the current upward movement runs. If the demand for Bitcoins continues unabated at the beginning of the coming year, a continuation of the bullish price rally towards USD 40,407 and a maximum of USD 43,703 cannot be ruled out either. As long as the BTC rate does not correct back below USD 22,000 and a maximum of USD 19,884, the chances of a price increase beyond USD 30,000 are good.

Bearish scenario (Bitcoin rate)

The bears are currently unable to get a foot on the ground. Any efforts by the sellers to correct the price of Bitcoin back towards USD 20,000 have so far failed. Although the BTC rate corrected more than 7 percentage points to USD 22,600 within one hour of trading on December 23, it was able to avert a break in support at USD 22,000. From this level, the BTC price shot north again, increasing in value by more than 20 percent.

Only when the sellers manage to dynamically push the BTC rate below the previous day’s rise at USD 25,752 does the probability of the consolidation expand to the breakout level at USD 24,298 increases. If this support can also be undercut by the daily closing price and the BTC price slips back below the key support at USD 23,887, a price drop to the EMA20 (red) at USD 22,973 should be planned. This would initially close the new gap in the futures rate at USD 23,710.

Rich Dad Poor Dad author explains why bitcoin will see $50,000 next year

According to Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling „Rich Dad Poor Dad,“ Bitcoin is headed toward $50,000 in 2021

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $50,000 in 2021, says best-selling author Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki.

Kiyosaki reported that an „institutional wall of money“ will come into Bitcoin in 2021, potentially pushing the price even higher.

Why does Kiyosaki talk about institutional interest in Bitcoin?

In addition to being a writer, Kiyosaki is a real estate mogul and precious metals investor. He has historically favored various value stocks, including silver.

Based on institutional inflows into Bitcoin, Kiyosaki explained that BTC below $20,000 is ideal, as the next target is at $50,000:

„I’m happy to have bought Bitcoin. Next stop $50,000. A lot of institutional money will come in 2021. Buy below $20,000. If you missed Bitcoin, buy silver. Silver is poised to move because of AOC’s Green New Deal. America is in trouble. The future is bright for gold, silver, Bitcoin and entrepreneurs.“

If Bitcoin reaches $50,000, its market cap will correspond to $928 million, or about 10.3% of that of gold. Bitcoin Loophole is well positioned for a rally in the coming months due to its low correlation with the stock market.

Often, traditional safe-haven assets, such as gold, pull back when U.S. stocks plot upticks. In the case of BTC, the correlation with U.S. stocks is relatively low: the cryptocurrency has therefore experienced strong bullish trends even as the value of stocks has risen.

For example, in the last 24 hours the price of Bitcoin has increased by about 4.5%, touching a gain of 6.5% at the daily peak.

BTC’s movement occurred in parallel with that of gold, as Asian markets plummeted and U.S. stocks tracked a slight retreat. Holger Zschaepitz, market analyst at Welt, commented:

„Asian equities saw a correction along with European and U.S. futures after a mixed session on Wall Street, characterized by caution on economic risks related to anti-virus measures and ongoing fiscal stimulus negotiations in the U.S. US 10-year bond yields are below 0.9%. The dollar is stable with the euro at 1.2153. Gold rises to $1839. #Bitcoin at $19,100.“

The lack of correlation between Bitcoin and U.S. stocks is likely due to two factors. First, when risk assets go up, BTC benefits from overall growth in investor interest.

Second, stocks have risen in recent months due to unprecedented liquidity injections from the central bank. Relaxed financial conditions benefit Bitcoin as investors resort to hedging against inflation.

Trading activity on the CME and Grayscale continues to grow.

Open interest in the CME’s Bitcoin futures market hovers around $1.07 billion, not far behind OKEx and Binance Futures.

The data shows that institutional demand for Bitcoin is so high that platforms focused on these participants are outpacing major retail exchanges in terms of open interest and trading volume.

Additionally, Grayscale surpassed $13 billion in assets under management on December 15, indicating a large increase in institutional inflows into Bitcoin.

„Record AUM for Grayscale – $13 billion.“

It appears that institutions are rapidly accumulating Bitcoin as a result of investments touted by high-profile figures such as MicroStrategy, Square and MassMutual. The result, as reported by Cointelegraph, is aggressive buying pressure in both futures and options markets.

Meanwhile, Roger Ver criticizes (again) Bitcoin

There are those who rejoice in the almost unequalled performance of Bitcoin (BTC) in the last few days, and there are others.

Roger Ver, the ardent defender of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), has chosen his side …
Meanwhile, Roger Ver criticizes (again) Bitcoin
Roger Ver and Bitcoin (BTC): I love you too

Roger Ver is one of the most vocal figures in the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) community. He has already expressed several times his disdain for the cryptomony from which his hard fork is made… Even when it skyrockets.
Proof of this was made yesterday, by a tweet from Roger Ver rather… Salty :

I would’ve continued to promote BTC if it hadn’t been intentionally crippled. Today any honest person would be embarrassed to promote something with as bad a user experience as #Bitcoin

Roger Ver is ironic about the Bitcoin network (BTC) confirmation delays and its high costs. He explains:

„I would have continued to promote the BTC if it hadn’t been intentionally crippled. Today, any honest person should be embarrassed to promote something with such a bad user experience. »

Bitcoin, more than a currency?

If Roger Ver’s grunts can make you smile in the middle of a Bitcoin bull run, they are still revealing. As the BTC approaches $20,000 again, and several analysts are talking about the possibility of an increase up to $300,000, the question of the purpose of Bitcoin still remains.

The world’s leading cryptomoney is now widely seen as an investment asset, and is regularly compared to gold. This summer, we learned that 61% of the Bitcoin in circulation had not been touched for at least a year. As a result, users tend to use the asset as a store of value rather than buying pizza or coffee.

Faced with this, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wants to be a useful currency, at least according to Roger Ver. But is this really the case? Its payment network can handle more transactions, thanks in particular to a much larger block size (32 Mb versus 1 Mb for Bitcoin). But in reality, these possible performances will only count if Bitcoin Cash is massively adopted, which is not the case at the moment.

Still, the Bitcoin Cash price has also benefited from the current bull run. After having ousted its rival Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA), BCH is among the biggest increases over a week, with +44%:

Over the year, assets grew by +69%. This puts an end to fears of a fall in prices following the hard forks experienced by Altcoin. Whether Roger Ver likes it or not, for the moment it is speculation that reigns.

Start for Ethereum 2.0: the community commits $ 6 million

The end of a (very) long wait? Ethereum has finally started its launch process for phase 0 of its version 2.0. Already, future stakers have sent their ETHs on the contract. But are they as numerous as expected?

Community begins to commit funds for Ethereum 2.0

To say that Ethereum 2.0 and staking were expected is an understatement for the community of the second largest cryptocurrency at the moment. Ethereum went through long years of development and several hitches before it could move the project forward. But we now know the launch date of phase 0, which was announced by the Ethereum foundation on Wednesday.

On Ethereum Launchpad, which gathers information about the launch of Ethereum 2.0, we can see that more than 15,400 ETH have already been “staked” . This is a considerable commitment for users: these ETHs cannot be withdrawn before phase 2 of Ethereum 2.0, i.e. in at least two years.

Currently 15,400 ETH is over $ 6 million . For the mainnet to start, however, the community will have to send 524,888 ETH to the contract, so we are still a long way from it. Which did not fail to raise doubts within the crypto community.

Will Ethereum succeed in mobilizing investors?

A recently published Consensys report pointed to a potential limitation of Ethereum 2.0. Investors may want to wait before committing their funds … Especially if the grass is greener elsewhere:

“There is concern that ETH hodlers might (at best) wait to see how much the initial staking brings in , comparing it to the DeFi sector . At worst, they could also choose not to “risk” locking in their ETH before phase 1.5, which will take place at least in a year and a half, in case a bull run […] occurs in the meantime. “

The launch of ETH 2.0 indeed comes at a time when the prices of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether are on an upward slope. For ETH holders, therefore, it makes sense to wait and see where it goes.

In addition, the DeFi sector is also in competition … If one is ready to assume the risks. The „Degens“ have shown that they do not hesitate to send their funds to risky contracts in order to take advantage of opportunities, Andre Cronje has experienced this several times. A less risky investment, but also less immediate, will it therefore be enough to tempt ETH holders in sufficient numbers?

Iranische Behörden Eye Bitcoin (BTC) für die Zahlung von Importen

Die iranische Regierung hat es den Bergleuten von Bitcoin (BTC) im Land vorgeschrieben, ihre Münzen an den Staat zu verkaufen, damit die Behörden die digitale Währung verwenden können, um Importe inmitten lähmender internationaler Sanktionen zu bezahlen. Dies geht aus Berichten vom 30. Oktober 2020 hervor.

Iran hofft auf Bitcoin

Während der Iran eines der reichsten Länder der Welt ist, wenn es um die Erdöl- und Erdgasförderung geht, wurde die Wirtschaft des Islamischen Staates durch internationale Sanktionen sowie die COVID-19-Pandemie, die seine tägliche Ölförderung von 3,1 Millionen zum Absturz brachte, fast lahmgelegt Fässer auf nur 1,9 Millionen.

Um die wirtschaftliche Not zu lindern und Mittel für die Zahlung von Importen zu generieren, haben das Energieministerium und die iranische Zentralbank ein Gesetz erlassen, das es registrierten Bitcoin-Bergleuten in der Region vorschreibt, ihre Münzen an die USA zu verkaufen Zustand.

Es wird daran erinnert, dass die iranische Regierung offiziell legalisiert Cryptocurrency Mining-Operationen im August 2019 und machte es für Bergleute obligatorisch, die erforderliche Lizenz vom Ministerium für Industrie, Bergbau und Handel zu sichern.

Pro Quellen In der Nähe der jüngsten Entwicklung hat der Iran, der kürzlich seine primäre Reservewährung vom US-Dollar auf den chinesischen Yuan umgestellt hat, da er nicht mehr auf seine USD-Reserven zugreifen kann, in den letzten 24 Monaten einen Absturz seiner Devisenreserven um mehr als 33 Prozent beobachtet und es sucht jetzt nach Wegen, um sein schwindendes Vermögen umzukehren.

Während sich Bitcoin (BTC) und andere Kryptowährungen völlig von den globalen Fiat-Währungen unterscheiden, hofft die iranische Regierung, dass die grenzenlose Natur der ersteren die Bezahlung ihrer internationalen Handelspartner erleichtert.

Obwohl die Regierung noch keine weiteren Details zu dem Umzug veröffentlicht hat, hat das CBI jedoch angedeutet, dass die Bergleute die Kryptos direkt an bestimmte Kanäle senden müssen, die ihnen zur Verfügung gestellt werden

Mit dem Preis von Bitcoin (BTC) Jetzt bleibt wieder abzuwarten, ob die iranische Regierung die Münzen zu einem angemessenen Preis von Bergleuten kaufen kann, was den Deal zu einem Win-Win-Szenario für alle Parteien macht.

Die Haltung des Iran zur Krypto bleibt wie die der Regierung unklar Vorschriften In Bezug auf die aufkeimende Klasse digitaler Vermögenswerte kann die neue Allianz jedoch nicht als vollständig zugänglich bezeichnet werden. Die neue Allianz könnte jedoch möglicherweise die Situation ändern, insbesondere wenn die Nation die nachteiligen Auswirkungen ihrer internationalen Sanktionen über Bitcoin erfolgreich abfedert.

JPMorgan Stablecoin finally sees the light of day

JPMorgan Chase now recognises the blockchain’s profitability and has created a new business dedicated to digital currency and blockchain work.

JPMorgan’s Stablecoin finally sees the light of dayNOTÍCIAS

A year and a half after it was Bitcoin Code first announced, JPM Coin – the internal stablecoin of JPMorgan Chase – is now active and in use by a major transnational technology company for international payments 24 hours a day.

Bitcoin, stablecoins and tokens are ‚welcome‘ in Brazil’s Central Bank Sandbox
According to a 27 October news story, this real-world proof that the technology is increasing efficiency and reducing costs has reinforced the megabank’s confidence in the promise and profitability of the technology. With the expectation that more commercial customers will sign up to use stablecoin, JPMorgan has created a business dedicated to digital currency and blockchain.

The new business unit, named „Onyx“, has over 100 employees and is being led by Umar Farooq as CEO. Takis Georgakopoulos, JPMorgan’s global head of wholesale payments, told reporters:

„We are moving into a period of marketing […] from research and development to something that can become a real business.
In the wake of PayPal’s recent adoption of cryptomeda, confidence among incumbents that blockchain can actually generate money for them appears to be increasing. JPMorgan’s experimentation and development with the technology so far can be divided into several main areas.

BNDES is featured in OECD mega event with crypto market big players like Ethereum and Coinbase
First, the megabank is testing a blockchain-based Interbank Information Network since 2017, involving over 400 participating banks and companies. JPMorgan believes that the network, now renamed Liink, can bring significant efficiency savings to the complex interactions of correspondent banks in international wholesale payments. JPMorgan itself is responsible for international wholesale payment flows of more than $6 trillion per day in more than 100 different countries.

The bank has also identified the usefulness of blockchain to innovate the existing and outdated system of processing „hundreds and millions“ of paper cheques. Blockchain and scanning can safely banish the physical aspects of this transaction completely. Georgakopoulos said a new blockchain system is months away from commercial launch:

„Using a version of blockchain with participants being the main check issuers and the main lockbox operators, we can save 75% of the industry’s total cost today and make the checks available in a matter of minutes instead of days.
Finally, JPMorgan relies on the blockchain to create new payment trails for global central banks and their evolving digital currencies. Pointing to China and Singapore, Georgakopoulos expressed his confidence that the likelihood of CBDC adoption is „very high“.

The new CEO of Onyx gave his insights on why developments seemed „slow“, or at least equivocal, at the blockchain front at JPMorgan so far:

„If you think of blockchain, we are either somewhere in the valley of disappointment or just beyond it in the hype curve. That’s why at JPMorgan we were relatively quiet about it until we were ready to expand it and market it.

Keith McCullough vendeu todos os seus Bitcoins

Keith McCullough, CEO da Hedgeye, disse que o mercado de criptomoedas de hoje decidiu vender todos os Bitcoin Superstar que possui. A decisão partiu de sua análise de como o mercado está em um período de desaceleração.

Em 6 de outubro, o CEO da Hedgeye, uma empresa de gestão de risco, fez um post no Twitter em que afirmava sua venda

Alguns dias depois, McCullough acompanhou seu Tweet, onde afirmou que defendeu sua decisão sobre a venda já que, de acordo com sua análise, o Bitcoin tem que ultrapassar seu preço médio de venda. Para isso, o Bitcoin teria que ultrapassar $ 11K

Aumento do preço do Bitcoin: a recuperação de Trump do COVID influenciou isso?

Ele também explicou o que fez em um post no site oficial de Hedgeye. Aqui ele afirma que não tomou sua decisão pessoalmente, mas queria maximizar o retorno do capital investido. McCullough deu a entender que há uma probabilidade crescente de # Quad4 no quarto trimestre. Keith McCullough acredita que há uma desaceleração da inflação e do crescimento monetário.

O CEO prevê em outras declarações que o fortalecimento do dólar nesta semana pode reverter o valor do Bitcoin. Notavelmente, o Bitcoin neste fim de semana subiu para $ 11.300.
