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.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.
