ETHEREUM GAINING MOMENTUM IN 2020

Since the beginning of this year, Ethereum, the second largest crypto asset in the market, has experienced a daily price growth and following the 1st of January the value increase of the coin that has been over 40 percent and the uptrend is still going strong. After undergoing a high of more than 179 USD,  the digital currency has seen a healthy consolidation throughout the last week. Ethereum has been gaining momentum in the past days and the current nearest level of resistance is at slightly over 175 USD and then the currency would have to reach 179 USD.

After a crypto investor tweeted that the digital currency has been experiencing lows, Vitalik Buterin, the creator of the famous crypto asset, responded on Tweeter saying that recently Ether has been going very strong. Most of the time Buterin does not make comments about the price of Ether, hence, this response surprised a large part of the crypto Twitter. The crypto investor had also said that Ethereum was not putting much work in the last couple of years.

The comment might seem strange as Ether recently started its transition to a Proof of Stake system from the previous Proof of Work one. On the other hand, Ethereum has also been very strong in the market recently. The market cap of the digital currency switched to 7.7 percent from 7.19 percent in only a month.

Even though the short term predictions for Ethereum seem extremely good, the long-term future of the currency is still in question. If the currency breaks the resistance level at 175 USD and manages to stay above it for at least a week, the long term indicators of the coin will be positive once again.

 

In order to receive more information & details on Ethereum & ETH price, take a look at Ethereum Price updates as well as Ethereum Price Predictions.

IPO MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT XRP

Releasing an Initial Public Offering (IPO) by Ripple Labs, a blockchain company, could have a negative influence on the XRP digital currency price a major part of which is owned by the crypto company. According to a number of crypto analysists, an IPO can have a significant ramification for their crypto asset.

Brad Garlinghouse, the Chief Office Executive of Ripple Labs, suggested last week that during the year of 2020 the company may launch an Initial Public Offering. As the digital asset has not been doing so well recently, it is understandable why the company wants to hold an Initial Public Offering for XRP, however, it is not clear whether XRP price will get better or not.

One of the crypto analysts stated that even though Ripple has seen growth, it is still far away from its goal of changing the global financial system. The analyst said that after the IPO, the participants are going to strive for very fast results and the price of the digital currency will decrease. According to the crypto analyst, despite the partnerships of Ripple Labs with major financial institutions and banks, there is a lack of progress for the company. Liquidity of XRP has been an issue for the company recently.

If the price of XRP falls it will make raising funds even more difficult. As Ripple Labs has been selling coins, it is possible that the company doesn’t have enough funds to support its ventures. A crypto analyst by the name of Allen Scott also expressed that the ongoing sales of XRP as an Initial Public Offering would put into question the business model of the company and negatively affect it.

FUNDSTRAT CO-FOUNDER BTC PREDICTION

The biggest digital currency in the crypto market, Bitcoin (BTC), in the last week has dropped 6 percent of the currency’s value as the value of Bitcoin hit its lowest point during the week which was slightly over 8,200 USD on Friday. At the time of writing this, the Bitcoin price has gone up more than 8,300 USD as the recovery level for the currency for the short term is 8,370 USD. The market share of Bitcoin is currently settled at slightly over 66 percent after it shortly went down to 66.

Tom Lee, the co-founder of an independent research boutique, Fundstrat, verified that his stance on BTC is very bullish. In an interview with CNBC, Tom Lee stated that in his opinion in the new year Bitcoin will do very well. According to Lee, one of the reasons that the price of Bitcoin will rise this year is the geopolitical situation and tensions in the Middle East as well as the upcoming Bitcoin halving that will have a positive effect on Bitcoin. At the beginning of the year, Lee made a prediction that there will be a 100 percent value increase of Bitcoin this year since the halving will not be affected by the price of BTC right now.

Even though in the last seven days the price of the currency dropped by 7.5 percent, it is still a natural correction from the beginning of 2020. Most likely Bitcoin will have the most support around 7,000-8,000 USD as this space holds significant technical indicators. On the other side, there is strong resistance at the point of 8,450 USD. The reinforcement of this zone is around 50 percent Fibonacci retracement. The absolute barrier for Bitcoin to start a bull run currently is 9,000 USD.

In order to stay on top of Bitcoin & its price, follow Bitcoin Price updates and Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions.

RIPPLE DECREASES XRP SALES IN 2019

Two years ago, Ripple’s digital asset, XRP, has been at its top with a market price of 3.84 USD, however, the price of the currency has not been heading in a very positive direction. This crypto asset has become at one point the second largest in the crypto market and nowadays it has not been doing so great. Considering its current price, XRP is down 93 percent from the high of 3.84 USD. However, XRP investors might be seeing improvement in the value of the digital currency. In the last quarter of 2019, the sales of Ripple’s cryptocurrency decreased by 80 percent.

In the second quarter of 2019, Ripple made a statement that the company would be more selective when it comes to XRP sales. Hence, in the third and fourth quarters of last year, the company did just that and, based on the last report published by the crypto company, only slightly more than 13 million USD worth of crypto assets were sold. On the other hand, in the third quarter of the year, over 66 million USD worth of XRP was sold, which was 80 percent larger than the fourth quarter. This is also comparatively much lower than the 251 million USD XRP sales in the second quarter and, in the last half of 2019, the sales of XRP have been the lowest in the last years.

Ripple Labs stated that the company intentionally decreased XRP sales in the third and fourth quarters of last year with one of the most important reasons for this was to focus on institutional sales with Ripple partners in order to build liquidity of the crypto coin in different regions around the world.

In June of last year, Ripple Labs has also started using data from CryptoCompare, instead of CoinMarketCap. After that, the daily volume of the crypto asset dropped.

BCH ECOSYSTEM FINANCING

In the ecosystem of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), it is common for crypto miners to donate to developers and it is also a very controversial subject in the crypto community for some time now. At the same time, it is not realistic to expect developers to work on the ecosystem for free. This is the reason why a corporate donation device was created, however, it still has some issues.

One of the biggest issues in this system is the influence that corporate donors might have on the developers. On the other hand, many companies are not able to sustain the costs of maintaining the ecosystem and have not met expectations.

So to guarantee that the digital currency maintains its relevance as well as vibrant nature, the Bitcoin Cash miners that are considered the majority have shown interest in financing developers. This group of miners declared that investment in software development is extremely important and, for them, it is essential to upkeep the development of the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem. The group has the intention to create a fund for Bitcoin Cash to put over 12 percent of their mining rewards in. This process is going to take half a year, according to the group. The amount of money that will be collected depends on the future price of Bitcoin Cash in the next half a year. Regardless of that, the amount of money is going to be great and will positively impact the ecosystem of the digital currency. The funds will be accepted as well as distributed by a Hong Kong-based company and they will be used to contribute to the development of the ecosystem as well as the maintenance of other essential structures.

 

At the same time, Bitcoin is rising as the halving approaches. To keep up with Bitcoin & its price, check out Bitcoin Price updates as well as Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions.

ETH IS THE MOST CONNECTED CRYPTO

One of the largest crypto assets in the market, Ethereum (ETH), lost one percent of its market worth since the start of yesterday. The digital currency currently has a market capitalization of more than 18.3 billion and is the second biggest crypto coin after Bitcoin. The price of Ethereum against the USD was trying to go over 171,000 USD, however, the crypto asset has been unstable recently and it fell below 170,000 USD.

A short while ago, Binance released research on the crypto asset market. According to the recent study by Binance, in the crypto asset world, currencies are becoming more and more connected with one another. In the meantime, Ether is considered the most connected to the other crypto assets in the crypto market with a 0.69 coefficient. It was also demonstrated that the correlation between digital assets enhances when the market is in unfavorable conditions.

In most cases, a 0.5 correlation is considered to be pretty high and as the number approaches zero the digital currency becomes more independent and separated from the other crypto coins. According to the study, the biggest changes in correlation between coins have been noticed in the middle of last year. This shows that the crypto coins have a higher correlation with one another as the situation in the market goes downhill. At the same time, the connection between digital currencies decreases as the market improves. However, they did say that further long-term analysis is needed.

The price of Ethereum has been consistent for the last two weeks. After Ether failed to reach 171.05 USD and fell, it found support at 168 USD. The lowest point during the week has been 161 USD, which is the barrier for bears.

BITCOIN PRICE INCREASE IS COMING

During the last couple of days, the price of the biggest crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), has stabilized at last as the market shifted after a sudden uptrend that resulted in a 43 percent raise. Last week, the digital currency reached the 9,200 USD mark and, after that, it quickly went down to 8,600 USD where it seems like the value of Bitcoin is trying to stay. A major Bitcoin price increase is predicted to take place soon.

At the same time, many crypto traders are saying that this will possibly lead to Bitcoin dropping its value to 7,000 USD. An analyst of crypto assets has also said that this might be the start of a new price raise. According to TrendSpider, a crypto asset charting account on Tweeter, the weekly chart of Bitcoin, in combination with the volume profile that moved Bitcoin from the price range of around 4,000 USD up to 14,000 USD in a matter of months, is taking a bullish path. The price of the first crypto coin is currently settled on a point of high volume showing that there is support in mid-8,000 USD.

As the supply of liquidity of this digital asset up until 10,000 USD is low, even a slight move of the price can kickstart an upward rally that will push the coin to its resistance level up to 5 digits. Also, it is not only the volume of the currency that suggests that Bitcoin may soon go for a Bull run.

According to Ethereum World News, a crypto trader yesterday stated on Tweeter that when Bitcoin hits 8,400 USD the price of the coin is going to increase by 20 percent to 10,000 USD.  The trader also emphasized that 8,400 USD is an important point for support to Bitcoin.

 

The Bitcoin halving is approaching and prices are expected to go up. To find out more information on the most prominent cryptocurrency, Bitcoin & its price, check out at Bitcoin Price updates and Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions.

BUTERIN STANDS UP FOR CRYPTO HODLER

On January 19 of this year, Peter David Schiff took to Tweeter to announce that he was not able to access his crypto assets as a result of wallet issues and, after that, Schiff was taunted by the crypto community on the platform because of this claim. At the same time, the creator of Ethereum, the second largest crypto coin, Vitalik Buterin, came to Schiff’s defense.

In the middle of last year, on 4th of July, Peter Schiff admitted that he owned Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) as well as Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Schiff is the Chief Executive Officer of Euro Pacific Capital Inc, a brokerage firm based in Connecticut, as well as the founder of SchiffGold, a Manhattan-based precious metals dealer. He was also famous for not having much faith in digital assets such as Bitcoin, however, after admitting to owning crypto assets he also stated that he would hold his Bitcoin despite any possible price changes of the digital currency.

Yet, yesterday Peter Schiff declared that he had lost his Bitcoin and his wallet password was invalid. Although Schiff believes that there was an inherent issue with the crypto wallet that he was using, a large number of crypto users on Tweeter were commenting that he had just forgotten his password. The person who set up Schiff’s account, according to him, announced on Tweeter that the issue was with Schiff and not Bitcoin. Schiff still insists that he had not forgotten his crypto wallet password.

It is not clear still what wallet application Peter Schiff was using and it has also been speculated that Schiff is trying to persuade crypto users to drop digital assets and opt for gold instead. However, Vitalik Buterin, a very influential person in the crypto community, took to Tweeter to defend Schiff and say that the crypto wallet technology needs to be improved.

 

Buterin is the founder of Ethereum, an innovative technology in the crypto world, which has been growing throughout the years. In order to earn more information about Ethereum & its price, have a look at Ethereum Price updates as well as Ethereum Price Predictions.

BTC DONATION FUND FOR AUSTRALIA

The new decade has not started well for Australia, where unusual wildfires spread across the southeastern coast. Fires are nothing new for Australia in summer, however, this year the situation is significantly worse. The fires have been spreading around since September and have been the cause of 24 human and 500 million animal deaths as well as the destruction of over 2,000 homes.

Each year, the season of wildfires seems to get longer and as the crisis continues a crypto news outlet, Cointelegraph, has announced that in partnership with Oxygen Seven, the company has created a Bitcoin fund that will direct the gathered money to the Australian Wildfire Fund.

The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the crypto news outlet, Helen Lang, said in a statement that witnessing the horrifying situation in Australia as well as the great losses that the country has suffered, Cointelegraph made the decision to help. She also added that the cryptocurrency community has the power to implement change around the world and Cointelegraph provided a transparent method for the people in the community to donate Bitcoin for the cause. In addition, Lang expressed how proud she was that Cointelegraph was provided the opportunity to work with Oxygen Seven as well as the Earth Alliance in order to sustain our environment for a brighter future.

The founder of Oxygen Seven, Nicholas Rose, also made a statement saying that the organization has recently completed a humanitarian mission in the Amazon that has been taking place since August of last year and has seen firsthand the devastating results of wildfires.

A New York-based news company, Fortune, has named Ripple Labs one of the best work environments from small and middle-sized companies in the San Francisco area. Ripple Labs is a large Silicon Valley blockchain business that is the creator of the third largest cryptocurrency by volume, XRP, and is most connected to the global financial sector from all the large blockchain companies.

CRYPTO TRADER SAYS BTC WILL MOON

As of January 2020, the prediction that the price of Bitcoin (BTC), the biggest crypto asset in the market, will go downhill before the reward halving that will take place a couple of months later is proving to be false at this point. The first weeks of this year have been very good for the Bitcoin price and this trend is expected to continue according to some crypto trader.

In mid-December of 2019, the BTC price went down to its lowest point of just above 6,000 USD, however, it was predicted that the price of the crypto asset would go down to 5,000 USD or even 4,000 USD before the price would go up.

A the same time, crypto investors are feeling great about the new movements of the digital asset and Bitcoin even reached around 9,000 USD lately which is the highest point during the last months. As the price of Bitcoin has been doing great, Altcoin owners and traders have also been excited about the growth of the entire crypto market.

Nowadays, there are traders that think that they have missed out on Bitcoin being at a lower point. However, according to a number of crypto asset traders, the price of the first crypto coin is still going to go up by around 1,000 percent more so there is no room to panic for traders. A famous crypto trader on Tweeter announced that if Bitcoin breaks through a number of limits, the digital currency may moon to 100,000 USD. This trader has been saying for a while that Bitcoin is going to reach six figures and he also said that the biggest bull run is right around the corner. Yet, at the same time, some crypto investors have said that this is an attempt by whales to draw attention to the coin.

 

In order to keep up with Bitcoin & its price, take a look at  Bitcoin Price updates as well as Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions.

Do Cryptocurrency Trading Robots Like Crypto Comeback Pro Really Work?

In the past during the 50s, robots were promised to ease your daily tasks. Today, 70 years later, cyber bots promise same for daily traders. Well, yes you have bundles of codes which can help you earn a passive income, even if you are the laziest trader. But it is just a hype and profiting from trading robots is that simple.

You have different kinds of cryptocurrency trading software and trading bots accessible online which include arbitrage bots which earn profits in the prices across exchange. For instance, the price of BTC is different from one exchange to another.

So, if exchange 1 has a slightly lower price in comparison to exchange 2, then the bot will break an order and buy it from exchange 1 and sell it on exchange 2. This way your trading robot works by profiting from the delay it takes for prices to update on different trading platforms.

Are trading bots really profitable?

In order to earn any kind of tangible profits with bot trading, you need to have stack of crypto to begin with. If you own a BTC arb bot, for instance, then you need to deposit BTC on several exchanges which are linked to your bot via API.

And, even with a healthy spread of BTC, the returns will be minimal. Traders claim to earn money via bot arbitrage using market inefficiencies. However, it is recommended that you should have good knowledge of trading and using automated systems before opting for this.

If you are good in setting your trading robots, then you may make a living out of it, but you need to have a good practice first.

It is securer to state that the best trading robots are the ones you may have never heard about and they will never be offered to you. Because if all the traders will choose to use the same bots, the trading edge they have will be wiped out.

So, if you are looking forward to put a trading robot to test, then you should try it with some shitcoins or satoshis. Don’t go for those bots that offer guaranteed returns and be sceptical of the profits which crypto traders claim to have made with the help of their bots.

Even if you come across a system which offers modest returns such as Crypto Comeback Pro , you may need to question yourself first: What will you like to do- get a bot which turns your 5BTC to 5.1 every week or have the independence to use your 5 BTC in simple day trading? Well, bots can help you a lot, but they cannot deal with fundamental analysis, sudden news, insider knowledge and other aspects which gives the market its movement.

Just like the housewives still wait for a chore-performing robot to handle their household work, similarly the crypto traders still wait for something that can help them win this battle. So, if you really don’t have a perfect personalized bot for you, it is rather suggested that you do it yourself.

UPBIT RECOVERING AFTER HACK

A large South Korean crypto asset exchange platform, Upbit, once again started offering an Ether wallet service after a large attack that the South Korean exchange had suffered which resulted in Ethereum worth 49 million USD being stolen. Despite the attack that took place only 2 months ago, Upbit made improvements for their security and added the Ether wallet service to their platform once again. The news was announced on Tweeter this Monday indicating that the service is yet again available.

On the other hand, the company has also said that in order to hold Ether, the user should open a new address for the platform for the new Ethereum wallet. The new accounts will automatically receive Ethers.

Last year at the end of November, on the Upbit platform there was a transfer of 342,000 Ethereum coins and these coins vanished from the platform. The rest of the digital assets were transferred to a cold storage in order to be more secure. Despite the fact that regular users have not experienced any loss, the Chief Executive Officer of the platform, Lee Seok-Woo, made an announcement that trading would be suspended on the platform for a short period of time. The stolen money was split between different account wallets by the cyber attacker.

A digital asset analyst stated that the hackers might use Huobi, a rival crypto asset exchange, in order to attempt laundering the stolen funds. According to Upbit, users should delete their old Upbit accounts, since their wallets can not be used anymore. The recovery might be a lengthy and expensive procedure. Despite losing millions, the company assured users that there will be a full refund.

 

In order to gain more information about the second biggest crypto asset, Ethereum, & ETH price, take a look at Ethereum Price updates and Ethereum Price Predictions.

Could The Logistics Industry Start Incorporating Bitcoin Into Their Delivery Services?

 

As online shopping continues to rapidly gain popularity, the logistics industry has been looking for new and exciting ways to streamline processes and increase efficiency. But with a number of technological advancements being made, could bitcoin and blockchain technology be the answer that is needed to aid in the completion of those goals? In this article, we will be providing insight into how the logistics industry can benefit from this technology in the near future. 

The Implementation Of Blockchain Technology 

Though the logistics industry is thriving at this time, there are a number of ways that the efficiency of parcel delivery companies and supply chains can benefit from blockchain technology. Whether this is the speed in which transactions can be processed or the level of security that companies will gain when completing overseas transactions, this will revolutionise the efficiency of the delivery service and will begin to cater to a wide range of customers when shopping online. 

The Implications On International Sales 

Though technology such as this can take time to implement correctly, this can benefit a supply chain when dealing with international shipments and payments as they can be processed significantly faster as a result. This can benefit international sales as items can be paid for using bitcoin allowing for a higher level of security without putting your company at risk. In addition to this, the decentralised nature of this currency means that the value is rarely affected by inflation, therefore meaning that payments can be made without either side losing too much money as a result. 

Increased Security As A Result 

Though no technology remains completely exempt from a cyber hack, blockchain technology can certainly help to securely store customer information and streamline processes. With every order being stored with its own unique hash, this can then be accessed quickly, allowing for pickers and shipping companies access to everything that they need to process the order and ensure that shipments are dealt with quickly. In addition to this, all information within a blockchain system is encrypted, this, therefore, means that you can determine whether or not the information has been tampered with in any way as well as monitor each transaction closely.

Reaching To Those That Don’t Bank 

The final way that the logistics industry can benefit from incorporating Bitcoin is the reach that they will gain. With some shoppers not using a bank at all, the implementation of Bitcoin can cater to these audiences and therefore boost sales as a result. Though it will take time to implement a strategy such as this on a much larger scale, this will benefit your business when it comes to customer acquisition rates as you will the be catering to those that only bank in bitcoin or other alternative currencies allowing your business to grow. 

Whether you are a start-up looking to expand your online store to cater to a wide range of customers, or you are an established business looking to modernise to cater to this new form of online currency, there are a number of ways that the logistics industry can benefit from the implementation of bitcoin and blockchain technology.

RIPPLE LABS LOBBYING STATISTICS IN 2019

Ripple Labs, like any other large company, has been reportedly involved in trying to influence regulators in the US at different levels. According to the Ripple Labs report, the lobbying expenses of this crypto company during the last year were 170,000 USD. Compared to the previous year, 2018, these expenses are very minimal.

According to a Washington-based research organization, opensecrets.org, the crypto company had spent 170,000 USD on lobbying for six lobbyists. All of them were not members of the US congress previously and two of the six were Ripple Labs staff members, Ron Hammond as well as Ryan Zagone.

The firm that conducts research on lobbying for elections and tracking money as well as claims to be neutral, stated that the Executive Office of the President was lobbied last year by Ripple Labs. The issues that Ripple Labs lobbied for were one technology-related, one associated with banking as well as two finance issues.

After that, Ripple Labs, together with eight other large corporations, lobbied the 2019 Token Taxonomy Act. Some of these companies were the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Blockchain Association, the IBM Corporation as well as Mastercard Inc.

According to the research, the crypto asset company in the first quarter of last year spent around 100,000 USD for lobbying, 20,000 USD in the second quarter and 50,000 USD in the third quarter. Comparing these numbers to the previous year, in 2019 Ripple Labs had spent 280,000 USD (or over 60 percent) less on lobbying. In 2018, almost half a million USD was spent on lobbying by Ripple Labs and that same yaer Ripple Labs was accused of bribing in order to get XRP on the Coinbase crypto exchange platform.

 

Ripple has been a great investor for crypto startups as well as a link to the global financial system. In order to get more news on Ripple & XRP price, have a look at Ripple Price updates and Ripple (XRP) Price Predictions.

BITCOIN LIGHTNING NETWORK STATISTICS

According to the BitMex crypto asset exchange platform, numerous details and important points have been shared about the BTC Lightning Network. Looking from the outside, it might seem that the participants of the network are more dynamic than they actually are. However, if you look at the Network more deeply, the state of the Bitcoin Lightning Network is more delicate.

Based on the data, most of the activity on the Bitcoin Lightning Network was invented by certain channels within the system. As stated by BitMex currently there are around 60 thousand such channel closures and more than 100 Bitcoins were used for these transfers. It is true that based on these number the level of activity on the Bitcoin Lightning Network is very high, especially considering that this still doesn’t show the full picture. However, when we consider the members of the channels that left and received their previous funds, the picture slightly changes. During analysis, these channels are often overlooked in favor of currently open and public ones.

Yet, when we consider these channel closures we also get a look at private channels. At the same time, the findings of the analysis are not 100 percent accurate and should be taken with a healthy amount of skepticism. The definite number of channels in the Bitcoin Lightning Network is still unclear. This is the exact reason why the BitMex report also mentioned and gave statistics on the channel closures. According to the lower estimate, there have been over 59,500 transfers with more than 1,000 BTC coins as well as almost 10,000 transactions and over 1,400 BTC spendings based on upper estimates.

The volume on the Bitcoin Lightning Network is pretty high and demonstrates that more people are trying out the technology than we might think at first glance.

 

To find out more news about Bitcoin & its price, have a look at Bitcoin Price updates as well as Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions.

FTX ADDED BITCOIN OPTION TRADING

On January 11 of this year, the FTX crypto asset derivative exchange platform added Bitcoin options trading. The Chief Executive Officer of the exchange platform, Sam Bankman-Fried, the day before declared on Tweeter that BTC trading options have been included on the FTX exchange. A couple of hours later, Bankman-Fried announced on the same platform that the volume of the options trading on FTX hit the 1 million USD mark in less than two hours.

Even though in the announcement it was not mentioned the crypto coins that FTX options trading supports, the only options currently displayed on the platform are Bitcoin-based. Based on information from CoinGecko, a digital asset data platform, FTX is among the most famous and best crypto exchange networks with a trading volume of around 278 million USD during the past twenty four hours. This crypto exchange was launched pretty recently, in 2019, and offers users derivative trading products professionally. According to a report by Cointelegraph, Binance has also an investment in this new company in December of last year. However, the CEO of FTX refused to answer questions on the investment.

Digital asset derivates have been seeing very positive conditions and developing rapidly. OKEx, a crypto asset exchange company based in Malta, also made an announcement that it is going to release digital asset options trading in December of 2019. On the other hand, Napoleon AM, a french asset management company, had announced the release of a BTC fund.

In the past few years, the number of regulations around crypto assets globally has significantly increased and they have become much more distinct over time. As an example, the presidential committee of South Korea has made a suggestion to enable companies to release crypto-related products on the market.

 

In order to find out more information on the largest crypto asset, Bitcoin & its price, take a look at Bitcoin Price updates and Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions.

ETHEREUM PREDICTIONS BY CONSENSYS CO-FOUNDER

According to Andrew Keys, one of the founders of ConsenSys, Serenity by Ethereum is expected to launch at the end of 2020. Keys talked about his excitement for the new venture considering how the development of Serenity is going.

A post was released on the ConsenSys website on January 7 of this year, where Keys discussed his crypto market predictions for the new year. Originally, Andrew Keys was a co-founder of the ConsenSys firm, however, since then he has earned a position for himself as a partner at DARMA Capital. Keys discussed a number of his predictions about numerous topics varying from the global financial system to issues of human rights and a couple of his predictions were notably positive.

This year, Ethereum is going to move from phase 0 to phase 1 of Ethereum 2.0 as the shard chain launch. Also as the development of Serenity proceeds, Andrew Keys predicted that the second layer solution is going to take the Ethereum network to another level.

The last stage of Ethereum 1.0 was the latest Istanbul hard fork as well as numerous recent modifications. The biggest improvements of the Ethereum Network involved EIP-152, ZCash and, at the same time, adjustments have been made for projects like Aztec and ZEther.

Aztec was specifically made to create private transactions for the Ethereum network by using a technology named SNARK. This technology was also used for the private transactions of ZCash. At the same time, Matter Labs is trying to use the new technology to make the system more scalable. The next steps towards Ethereum 2.0 after the Istanbul hard fork is still unclear. Based on the ConsenSys roadmap released in 2019, Serenity was supposed to be launched in 2019. After the launch of Serenity, Ethereum will switch to the Proof-of-Stake system.

XRP PRICE WILL NOT FALL BELOW $0.20

Compared to last year’s data, in 2020 XRP has started much stronger and, at the moment, the price of XRP has been consistently above 0.20 USD. The crypto asset was doing pretty bad last year, yet, considering this, in the new decade XRP began an uphill climb. Right now, Ripple’s digital asset is trading at 0.2077 USD after trading at 0.21 USD for a long time and shortly going down to 0.19 USD. Although long-term prospects of this crypto coin are not known yet, there are many reasons to believe that XRP will stay above 0.20 USD in the short-term.

The first reason why the price of the Ripple asset will not fall is that yet again a large bank entered a partnership with Ripple. The Thai Siam Commercial bank that mainly offers fintech solutions in Asia is planning to create a new application and payment solution collaborating with Ripple. As of this moment, Ripple is a crypto company with the biggest support from the global financial system and is simultaneously the company behind the third largest crypto asset based on market capitalization. The new application with the Siam Commercial bank will also enhance the popularity of Ripple and, thus, positively affect the digital currency’s price.

It is also speculated that the newfound stability of XRP price will result in an accumulation period. Currently, traders are not interested in increasing the value or in futures markets of this crypto asset. Hence, right now there is no large incentive for the XRP value to grow. The market of crypto assets remains as unstable as always and the biggest crypto coin, Bitcoin, is also showing major signs of unstableness, so the altcoin market is following its footsteps.

 

At the same time, as the Bitcoin halving is approaching, XRP price will most likely rise once again. To gain more information about Ripple & XRP price, take a look at Ripple Price updates and Ripple (XRP) Price Predictions.

THE SEC CONSIDERS CRYPTO A 2020 PRIORITY

On January 7, 2020, The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in view of the new year recently released the list of priorities for this year once again showing that crypto assets are among their main focuses. After the 2017 Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) wave, in the next two years, these types of crypto assets were a major concern for the Securities and Exchange Commission and were separately mentioned in their priority lists of 2018 as well as 2019. Overall, crypto investments were under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s focus during those years. However, according to their priority list, in the new year, the SEC is going to approach crypto assets in a more friendly manner.

The 2020 examination priorities list was issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission Compliance Inspections and Examinations Office and emphasized digital assets. Based on this document, the Securities and Exchange Commission is going to pay a lot of attention to the risks that investors face when buying crypto coins and educate investors on the stakes of crypto investment.

According to the SEC, the market of crypto assets has grown with great speed and has become a global phenomenon, yet, at the same time, there are numerous risks associated with this new market. They also mentioned that a number of investors do not understand the difference between traditional assets and crypto assets. In the document, 6 new policies concerning crypto coins were discussed including values of crypto coins, client safety, trading, the effectivity of crypto investments and so on.

This priorities list by the SEC also highlights the present and upcoming dangers associated with the market and aims to reduce the risks in 2020. The SEC is making more effort to deal with the issues of the crypto market as well as make it safer. At the same time, crypto enthusiasts are still waiting for the SEC to approve the installment of Bitcoin ETFs.

 

The biggest crypto coin in the market, Bitcoin, is experiencing a boost in 2020 and is expected to rise even more soon. To keep up with Bitcoin & its price, take a look at  Bitcoin Price updates and Bitcoin (BTC) Price Predictions.

BITGO AND LITECOIN PARTNERSHIP

The company behind one of the biggest crypto assets, the Litecoin Foundation, announced that it is collaborating with BitGo. This service management company was founded in 2013 with its headquarters in California, the United States. Even though using the services of a company such as BitGo is not required for either the Litecoin Foundation or any users of the Litecoin crypto asset, this makes using the crypto coin a more secure experience. The Litecoin Foundation revealed this news on their Tweeter on January 3.

BitGo and the Litecoin Foundation still have not discussed the details of their new partnership. However, a news outlet, U.today, raised suspicions that the Litecoin Foundation will add a custodial crypto wallet for their users. A different news outlet stated that the firm will store its own capital with BitGo, which seems more realistic considering that the custodial provider company already supports the crypto coin.

In their Tweeter announcement, the Litecoin Foundation pointed out that they will use multisig addresses. This is an element that enables different users to come to a consensus about a transaction before it takes place. The feature is mostly used for the creation of joint accounts, however, it can be utilized to battle data loss. In October 2019, BigGo also added support for SegWit by Litecoin in order to have lower fees for transactions to frequent users. Yet, it has not been clear whether this feature will be used by them or not.

The Litecoin Foundation has already collaborated with a similar company named Celsius Network in order to store their funds in September 2019. Hence, this will not be the first time that the Litecoin Foundation invests in such a venture. The company also has a stake in a German bank, WEG.

5 Must-Have Trading Tools for 2020: Coinrule, eToroX, Kraken Futures, and others

In the ten years of its existence, cryptocurrency trading has made tremendous strides in its evolution, often employing cutting-edge developments in trading software technology. These developments go hand-in-hand with the digital nature of cryptocurrency. With 2020 fast approaching, many crypto traders are searching for the next big thing in terms of trading software to get a leg up in the new year.

 

Though today’s selection of options is quite wide, there are a few companies that are pushing the bounds of cryptocurrency trading innovation, offering traders unique opportunities to maximize their trading experience. The five companies listed below are considered to be at the forefront of crypto trading software and are poised to see significant user adoption in the upcoming year.

 

1. Coinrule

 

This is a powerful new trading tool that lets hobbyist traders create automated strategies in a few clicks with its unique, “if-this-then-that”-logic visual editor. It is easy to fall in love with Coinrule’s simplicity, which is designed to protect against losses during a dip, catch an upcoming rally, take profits on multiple coins at once, smartly rebalance a portfolio, and quickly test correlation assumptions, all with rule setups that only take seconds to create.

 

Coinrule puts an end to poor user experience and data-heavy interfaces that dominate the crypto trading market. Their London-based team adds new trading features every month and is currently preparing to launch the world’s first crypto backtesting environment for retail investors. As far as portfolio automation tools go, Coinrule is one of the best options for crypto traders in 2020.

 

2. eToroX

 

eToroX is the cryptocurrency exchange and wallet from the well-known social trading platform eToro. Launched in 2018, it is especially notable for its wide range of fiat-pegged stablecoins. Supporting a variety of fiat deposit and withdrawal options, popular coins like Bitcoin, EOS or Ethereum can be traded against the Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, South African Rand, or any one of many stablecoins on eToroX.

 

As a trading company, eToro has regularly stood at the forefront of innovation. By supporting a multitude of stablecoins, the company has allowed crypto trading to become more accessible to a wide range of users from around the world. For its advanced users, eToroX also provides some great charting and technical analysis tools built directly into its interface.

 

3. The Pit (by Blockchain.com)

 

Blockchain.com, one of crypto’s best-known crypto wallet providers, recently launched its ultra-fast exchange, The Pit. This new breed of exchange is designed specifically for those who are tired of slow order executions on traditional exchanges. To build its exchange, Blockchain.com gathered an all-star team from the NYSE, TD Ameritrade, Google, and Goldman Sachs, to combine the very best in stock and equities trading technology with cryptocurrency.

 

Just like many leading financial firms, The Pit hosts its servers at Equinix LD4, one of the most reliable and lowest-latency data centers in the world. The speed which The Pit operates is measured in microseconds, as opposed to milliseconds. Never before has such fast trading execution been available for hobby traders, which makes The Pit a great option for those looking for a new exchange option in 2020.

 

4. Messari

 

Designed for those who are tired of looking at unreliable price and volume data providers (like CoinMarketCap), Messari emerged as a viable alternative in 2019, quickly rising to fame among the crypto trader community. Messari’s data is transparently sourced, using conservative but accurate calculations to generate their results. Their news has also developed a reputation as being insightful, and their analysis spot-on.

 

Messari recently raised $4 million in funding from some leading investors in the crypto space, including Coinbase Ventures. They are on a mission to build a data-based ‘credit rating agency’ for the cryptocurrency industry, and the progress of their developments will be closely followed by the community.

 

5. Kraken Futures

 

Leveraged trading was certainly one of the hottest topics in crypto trading in 2019. The excitement was kicked off by Kraken’s nine-figure acquisition of Crypto Facilities, an FCA regulated platform for crypto futures trading. Since then, the newly-renamed Kraken Futures has enjoyed a good deal of success and popularity.

 

Kraken Futures is considered not only the most transparent platform for leveraged trading but also pays out 30% of fees to traders who contribute to its liquidity pool. Kraken’s user-friendly approach of crediting any liquidated collateral from margin trades back to user accounts makes it one of the most interesting additions to the list of crypto trading options in 2020, as it is set to usher in a new form of margin trading.

 

From new portfolio management tools like Coinrule to new margin trading weapons like Kraken Futures, next year is set to be a revolutionary time in cryptocurrency trading. If fate has a new bull market in mind for the crypto markets, it will likely be ushered in by the newfound availability of these next-generation trading tools.

COINBASE XRP PRICE GLITCH

The 3rd highest ranked crypto asset based on market capitalization, Ripple’s XRP, drastically went up on the crypto exchange platform, Coinbase. This happened on January 4, 2019, when the price of XRP, which is currently at 0.198 USD, surged over 7,000 USD on Coinbase. The actual price of this crypto coin has only increased to 3.84 USD. This period was successful for those XRP traders that managed to benefit from this price jump.

According to a Tweeter user, Ripple’s crypto asset experienced an unimaginable price increase for an extremely short period of time. For only one minute, based on this Tweeter user, XRP hit the 7,308 USD mark on January 4. At the same time, the biggest crypto coin, Bitcoin, was also going up in price and reached 7,400 USD. Because of the Glitch, XRP and Bitcoin leveled on the Coinbase platform chart.

Despite the price rise, it is most likely that the XRP price shift was based upon an issue in the system and the information provided by the platform also confirms this theory. In reality, at the same time, the value of the crypto asset was right below 0.2 USD while on Coinbase it was 7,308 USD. On the other hand, at that time, according to the 24-hour chart, the XRP price has gone down by more than 0.4 percent.

At the same time, a different Twitter user also stated that in October 2019, a similar issue occurred on the platform when Bitcoin and XRP leveled for a very short period of time. At that time, the Bitcoin price was around 8,300 USD and XRP was above 7,300 USD. Users of Coinbase agreed that the company has been doing a poor job of regulating the platform and avoiding such Glitches.

 

In order to receive more information on Ripple & the coin’s price, take a look at Ripple Price updates & Ripple (XRP) Price Predictions.

FUNDING CRYPTO BUSINESSES IN 2020s

Fundraising is extremely common when people are starting a new business, especially in the crypto industry. However, this year, Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) are becoming less and less popular and with this, appears a question as to how crypto businesses are going to get funding in 2020. Even though large crypto companies such as Ripple and Tron are able to put millions of dollars into different crypto businesses, they can not fund all crypto startups. Hence, many startups are exploring new and less common ways of funding their ventures.

IEOs gained attention after Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) collapsed in 2018 after one of the largest crypto exchanges, Binance, began listing large IEOs on their platform. In May of 2019, eight new Initial Exchange Offerings have been launched and in the first half of the year, 1.5 billion USD has been raised through IEOs. However, from July, there has been a drastic shift and IEOs quickly faded. According to recent research, in 2019 investors lost 98 percent of the invested funds in Initial Exchange Offerings.

On the other hand, as IEOs are disappearing from the radar, Initial Public Offerings (IPO) are having a small revival. This method of fundraising has been around since the 17th century and was the way that Amazon, Apple as well as Google were funded. In 2019, IPOs returned into the crypto sphere and began outperforming Initial Coin Offerings. Considering these results, it is possible that a hybrid fundraising method for crypto businesses will appear on the market. MERJ created the first crypto Initial Public Offerings in September 2019 and World Chess had created a fundraising method of this sort for the new year.

Although IEOs are probably taking their last breaths, it is still unclear how they will be replaced. The crypto industry will fund itself in whatever possible way.

 

Ripple has been a great investor for new crypto and blockchain ventures. To get more news on Ripple & its price, take a look at Ripple Price updates as well as Ripple (XRP) Price Predictions.
