Mit einem Wachstum von über 3.000% seit Jahreswechsel konnte selbst ein kürzlich aufgetretener Netzwerkausfall den Aufwärtstrend von Fantom nicht aufhalten.

Die dezentrale Smart Contract-Plattform Fantom (FTM) setzte am Montag ihre wiederauflebende Rallye mit 50% fort, trotz eines vorübergehenden Netzwerkausfalls, bei dem die Blockchain sieben Stunden lang keine Blöcke mehr produzierte

Fantom tauchte im Januar unter den Top 100 der Marktkapitalisierungs-Rangliste auf und erreichte schließlich einen Lauf von 5.000%, der Ende Februar seinen Höhepunkt erreichte. Seitdem hat der Bullenlauf der Münze nachgelassen, aber ihr Wert gegenüber dem US-Dollar liegt immer noch 3.434% höher als am 1. Januar.

Fantom war jedoch am 25. Februar einem kurzen Stromausfall ausgesetzt, als die Blockproduktion eingestellt wurde, nachdem zwei Prüfer die Emissionsrate verlangsamt hatten. Fantom ist eine Proof-of-Stake-Blockchain, bei der 39 Validierungsknoten die Blockerstellung im Auftrag von Stakers überwachen. Die beiden fraglichen Validatoren repräsentierten ein Drittel der auf der Plattform gesetzten FTM.

Das Entwicklungsteam hat einen temporären Patch erfolgreich koordiniert und angewendet, mit dem das Netzwerk sieben Stunden später wieder in Betrieb genommen wurde. In einer kürzlichen Ankündigung von Bitcoin Fast Profit heißt es :

Am Donnerstag, dem 25. Februar 2021, um 15.04 Uhr UTC, stoppte das Fantom Opera-Mainnet neue Blockbestätigungen, was zu einem vorübergehenden Ausfall führte. Das Kernentwicklerteam und die Fantom Validator-Community reagierten sofort und nahmen das Netzwerk innerhalb von 7 Stunden erfolgreich wieder auf. “

Die Korrektur erforderte den Konsens von 39 Validatoren in mehreren Zeitzonen, und das Entwicklungsteam stellte fest, dass während des Ausfalls keine abgesteckten Mittel gefährdet waren

Als Reaktion auf den Vorfall hat das Entwicklungsteam beschlossen, das Machtgefälle zwischen den Validatoren zu beheben, und wird versuchen, den Einfluss gleichmäßiger auf die Knoten zu verteilen. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wird die Menge an FTM, die zum Einrichten eines Validierungsknotens erforderlich ist, von seiner derzeit unerschwinglichen Zahl von 3.175.000 FTM reduziert.

Im Januar entsprach dies einem Dollarwert von etwas mehr als 30.000 US-Dollar. Nach dem jüngsten Anstieg von Fantom liegt diese Zahl nun bei über 1,8 Millionen US-Dollar.

Der jüngste Anstieg von Fantom ist auf Entwicklungen im Bereich Interoperabilität und dezentrale Finanzierung zurückzuführen . Das Projekt wurde kürzlich in Multichain integriert – ein dezentrales Token-Swap-Protokoll, das unterschiedliche Blockchains wie Ethereum und Binance Smart Chain überbrückt und Token-Swaps ohne Zwischenhändler ermöglicht.

Am Montagmorgen setzte sich Fantoms Aufstieg fort, als der Münzpreis von 0,3827 USD auf 0,58 USD stieg, was einem Wachstum von 54% zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung entspricht.

USDT on the grill – The Tether-Bitfinex case and New York Attorney General’s Office (NYAG) charges date back to April 2019 . Accused of arranging with their stablecoin USDT, the sister companies of the iFinex group have finally agreed to pay a fine and can no longer have activities of any kind in New York (city like state).

The NYAG does not appreciate „small arrangements“ between friends

This is a press release issued on February 23 that the Office of the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James , announced that it ended „illegal activities“ of the exchange platform Bitfinex in New York.

The dispute between the NYAG and Bitfinex started because of Tether’s $ 850 million USDT loan to the crypto exchange. This payment facility between sister companies was intended to cover the huge hole in the cash flow caused by the legal troubles of the Bitcoin System payment processor of the time, Crypto Capital , then accused of practicing shadow banking .

“Bitfinex and Tether irresponsibly and illegally hedged massive financial losses to maintain their system and protect their bottom line (…) Tether’s claims that its digital currency was fully backed by US dollars at all times was a lie (…) ) “

After 2 years of procrastination and passing of arms, the Attorney General of New York and the 2 companies of the iFinex group have reached a common agreement .

While Bitfinex and Tether do not acknowledge the NYAG charges, the companies agree to pay New York State $ 18.5 million in penalties to quash these protracted lawsuits.

No 100% dollar reserves for USDT? No problem

According to Stuart Hoegner , general counsel for Bitfinex and Tether cited by The Block, the present arrangement with the NYAG and the payment of these penalties are to be taken “as a manifestation of our willingness to put this matter behind us, and to focus on the heart of our business ” .

In addition, Bitfinex and Tether will have to end all of their activities in New York City and State. Compliance with this ban will be the subject of reports that the 2 companies must submit regularly to the NYAG.

In particular, Bitfinex and Tether will have to report, on a quarterly basis, that they correctly separate the accounts of companies and customers. They will also have to submit to mandatory reports concerning transfers of assets between the entities of the iFinex group.

Regarding Tether, the company will need to publish regular reports on the assets and reserves that support its USDT stablecoin.

Il prezzo del Bitcoin sta mostrando alcuni segnali ribassisti

Dopo aver lottato per risalire sopra i 47.000 dollari, il prezzo del Bitcoin Future ha iniziato una correzione al ribasso. BTC ha scambiato sotto il livello di supporto di $46.000 per spostarsi in una zona ribassista a breve termine.

C’è stata anche una rottura al di sotto di un modello di triangolo contrattuale chiave con supporto vicino a $46.000 sul grafico orario della coppia BTC/USD. La coppia è stata scambiata anche al di sotto dei livelli di 45.000 e 44.450 dollari. Si è formato un minimo vicino a 43.748 dollari e il prezzo sta attualmente consolidando le perdite.

Una resistenza iniziale al rialzo è vicino al livello di 45.500 dollari. È vicino al livello di ritracciamento Fib del 50% del recente declino dai 47.356 dollari di massimo ai 43.748 dollari di minimo.

La prossima resistenza principale è vicino al livello di 46.000 dollari (la recente zona di rottura). Il 61,8% del livello di ritracciamento Fib del recente declino dai 47.356 dollari di massimo ai 43.748 dollari di minimo è anche vicino al livello dei 46.000 dollari. Una rottura di successo sopra il livello di resistenza di 46.000 dollari è probabile che inizi un nuovo aumento a breve termine.

La prossima resistenza principale è vicino al livello di 47.000 dollari. Qualsiasi altro guadagno potrebbe aprire le porte per una spinta verso il livello di 48.000 dollari.

Dips supportati in BTC?

After a sharp price correction in the crypto market, almost all top 100 coins print red candles. Meanwhile, news of a supposed double spend on Bitcoin has caused uncertainty. The market update

„What goes up, must come down“ – this trading truism suggests itself when looking at the price trends of Bitcoin and Co. The entire crypto market has been in correction mode since January 20. Carried along by partly heavy price losses of the industry leader Bitcoin, which pushed BTC to 29,000 US dollars (USD) in the meantime, a large part of the top 100 coins by market capitalization is under a negative sign on January 21.

The large-scale sell-off resulted in the crypto market surrendering the trillion-dollar mark it gained on January 7. Currently, the total market capitalization is just below $900 billion, with bitcoin accounting for 63 percent of that.

Meanwhile, the traditionally strong link between altcoin prices and the bitcoin price seems to have loosened somewhat since September 2020. The correlations between BTC and top-10 altcoins (with the exception of the stablecoin Tether as well as Polkadot’s DOT, for which there is not enough data yet) tend to decrease.

The fairy tale of double spend in bitcoin

The recent market upheavals correlated in time with rumors of a supposed double-spending attack on Bitcoin. This was triggered by a tweet from BitMEX Research reporting an orphan block that contained a (very small) double spend. A double spend is when the same digital currency unit has been used in two different transactions at the same time, i.e. „spent twice“.

Today, there was an invalid Bitcoin block of 666,833, with SlushPool beating F2Pool in a race. It seems that a small double spend of about 0.00062063 BTC ($21) was detected.

This news – spread by relevant crypto media – has apparently caused panic among one or two hodlers. According to Google Trends, the relative search volume for the term Double Spend rose sharply in the U.S. on Jan. 20.

Doube Spend on Google Trends.

Bitcoin guru Andreas Antonopulos promptly launched a livestream on YouTube in response to the emerging FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Despair). He made clear what he thought of the scaremongering in the title of the stream: „The Illuminati have broken Bitcoin! OMG DOUBLE SPEND & other fantastic scary stories for kids“. Meanwhile, „aantonop“ has shifted gears and changed the title to a more sober (and search engine compliant) „Cryptocurrency explained: understanding „double-spend“, block re-organization, & consensus [Bitcoin]“.

Moreover, Antonopoulos, who teaches cryptocurrencies at the University of Nicosia, rehashed the incident on Twitter.

There was a reorganization in the Bitcoin blockchain. This is a common event that is part of the normal operation of Bitcoin. It is a result of decentralized consensus under Proof-of-Work. All PoW chains do this. […] Again, all of this is normal. A 1-block reorganization happens on average every few weeks as a result of decentralized PoW. A 2-block reorganization happens less frequently, maybe a few times a year. A 3-block reorganization is extremely rare. I don’t think we’ve ever seen one,

the Bitcoin evangelist appeases concerned hodlers.
Antonopoulos takes BitMex Research to task.

BitMex Research has taken some flak for its tweet about double spending. Unjustly, as Antonopoulos finds. He sees the blame for the FUD not with the data suppliers, but with the media, which processed the data into lurid headlines.

For those yelling at @BitMEXResearch:

Wrong target. BitMEX provides a useful service that monitors re-orgs. You are the messenger who said the right thing. Direct your ire at @Cointelegraph who „reported“ sensationalist nonsense and those who amplified it.

So @aantonop takes blockchain analysts to task. However, there is no denying that Bitmex Research has talked about a possible double spend. BitMex itself has admitted to pay better attention to the choice of words next time:

There were two conflicting transactions, each in two competing chains. The apparent „double spend“ situation was quickly resolved within one block. Sorry if our language was confusing, we will improve it next time.

Longhash ujawnił, że prognozy cen Bitcoinów na „koniec 2020 r.“ były dokładniejsze niż w przypadku, gdy wpływy kryptońskie mówiły, że cena aktywów będzie na początku 2020 roku. Nowe badanie opierało się na doniesieniach medialnych, które zawierały prognozy 17 wybitnych postaci z gospodarki kryptońskiej.

Osoby te szczególnie przewidywały ceny na początku 2020 roku, a firma porównała ich przewidywania z rzeczywistą ceną Bitcoin 28.841 dolarów, na dzień 31 grudnia 2020 roku.

Stwierdzono, że prognozy, które były najbliższe „zasadniczo prawidłowym“ prognozom, należały do prezesa Beam Alexander Zaidelson i prezesa Crypto Genius Danny Scott. Prognozy obu wykonawców były zbliżone do prawie 5% rzeczywistej ceny Bitcoina.

W tym czasie, Zaidelson opierał swoje szacunki na „podstawowej logice“ i historycznych granicach ATH i ATL i powiedział:

Myślę, że jest możliwe, że w pewnym momencie w 2020 roku Bitcoin może uderzyć w cały czas niski lub nawet zejść nieco poniżej niego, więc powiedziałbym, że niski może wynosić 3000 dolarów.

Wraz z postępem rzeczy i wzrostem przyjęcia, popyt na Bitcoin i krypto w ogóle będzie gwałtownie wzrastać, i jest całkowicie możliwe, że pójdzie w górę do wszechczasów wysoki lub więcej. Więc, powiedziałbym $30,000.

Z drugiej strony, Danny Scott był przekonany o wzroście cen BTC w długim okresie, ale uznał to za „niemożliwe zadanie“ przewidujące cenę w krótkim okresie. Jego prognozy zawierały się w przedziale od 12 000 do 28 000 dolarów.

Poza tym inne prognozy były na tyle bliskie dokładnym cenom, że zdaniem Longhasha byłoby to trudne zadanie, biorąc pod uwagę zmienność Bitcoina. Jednakże w badaniu Longhasha stwierdzono, że prognozy BTC na koniec 2019 r. lub „do 2020 r.“ były prawie wszystkie błędne i że „większość ludzi była zbyt optymistyczna“.

Longhash uważał, że prognozy są tym razem lepsze, ponieważ ludzie poprawiają swoje spekulacje, lepiej rozumiejąc ceny Bitcoina. Zauważył jednak, że firma mogła po prostu „wybrać lepsze prognozy“ lub wiec Bitcoin’a mógł sprawić, że większość ludzi miała rację, którzy mają tendencję do bycia optymistami, jeśli chodzi o prognozy cen.

Prognoza Johna McAfee’a na 1.000.000 dolarów okazała się najgorszą prognozą na liście przewidywań opracowanej przez Longhasha.

W odniesieniu do prognoz na bieżący rok, firma powiedziała, że kryptończycy nadal „zmierzają wysoko“. W tym Citibank, który niedawno spodziewał się, że BTC przekroczy 300 tys. dolarów do końca tego roku.

Grayscale blijft institutioneel geld aantrekken in 2021 na het melden van een duizelingwekkende $3,3 miljard aan instroom in het vierde kwartaal van 2020. Vorige week kocht de digitale vermogensbeheerder bijna 10K Bitcoins ter waarde van meer dan 300 miljoen dollar.

Cryptocurrency vermogensbeheergigant Grayscale maakt opnieuw gedurfde stappen en zet zijn Bitcoin-verhaal voort. Grayscale’s nieuwe CEO Michael Sonnehnshein verklaarde onlangs dat het bedrijf afgelopen vrijdag 15 januari $700 miljoen heeft opgehaald.

Gisteren heeft @Grayscale ten noorden van 700 miljoen dollar opgehaald in zijn productfamilie…het momentum van Q4 lijkt het nieuwe jaar in een stroomversnelling te komen.

Als u ons 4Q20-rapport nog niet hebt bekeken: https://t.co/SwqBKwvO1S.

– Michael Sonnenshein (@Sonnenshein) 16 januari 2021

De digitale vermogensbeheerder gaf zijn Q4 2020-rapport vrij waarin staat dat hij in deze periode bijna 3,3 miljard dollar heeft opgehaald. Ook was de instroom in Grayscale producten in Q4 alleen al goed voor meer dan 50% van de netto-instroom van 5,7 miljard dollar vorig jaar. Grayscale merkt ook op dat de instroom in de Grayscale Bitcoin Superstar blijft groeien als percentage van de gedolven Bitcoin. Tijdens het vierde kwartaal van 2020 was de „Bitcoin-instroom ongeveer 194% van de gedolven Bitcoin“.

Het rapport vermeldt ook dat de „Grayscale Bitcoin Trust goed was voor 87% van alle instroom in onze productfamilie, het hoogste percentage sinds 2Q17, nog meer bewijs van instellingen die Bitcoin als een reserve-activum beschouwen“.

Bloomberg senior ETF-analist Eric Balchunas heeft Grayscale vergeleken met de ARK-investeringen. De analist legde verschillende overeenkomsten uit, omdat beide spelers trends lijken te trotseren. Bovendien lijken ze ook meer institutionele interesse te wekken voor hun producten en diensten. In zijn Twitter-post schrijft Eric:

„De overeenkomsten zijn vrij verbazingwekkend. Ik denk dat beide hingen in relatieve vergetelheid voor 3-4yrs, had als $2b 12mo geleden en dan boem, 10x toename. Beide trotseren trends: ARK w stock picking en grayscale w zeer hoge tarieven en 20%+ premies“.

Grayscale gaat op Bitcoin Kopen Spree

Net zoals de Bitcoin (BTC) prijs blijft flirten tussen $35.000-$36.000, lijkt Grayscale zijn BTC-aankopen weer te hebben hervat. Op de dag dat Grayscale CEO de fondsenwerving aankondigde, kocht de Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) meer dan 5K BTC voor maar liefst 190 miljoen dollar.

De GBTC heeft sinds 14 januari drie dagen achtereen Bitcoins gekocht. Volgens de gegevens op Bybt.com heeft de digitale vermogensbeheerder bijna 10K Bitcoins gekocht voor maar liefst 317 miljoen dollar. Interessant is dat de BTC-aankopen van Grayscale bijna 5 keer zo groot zijn als de dagelijkse Bitcoins die gedolven worden.

De snelheid waarmee instellingen sinds december 2020 BTC kopen en het naar de koelcel verplaatsen, duidt op een aankomend tekort aan Bitcoins op de beurzen.

De afgelopen dag kocht Grayscale 5,7X de dagelijkse hoeveelheid gewonnen #Bitcoin. 5k BTC ter waarde van $189m.

In de afgelopen 30 dagen heeft 67k BTC met een waarde van $2.5b de beurs verlaten voor warme/koude portemonnees.

Met dergelijke beperkte levering maar de exponentià „le vraag, zal de prijs spoedig geen keus hebben dan om pic.twitter.com/6q6FwmND44 naar boven te gaan.

Echter, na de enorme prijsvolatiliteit en prijsdaling van Bitcoin te hebben gezien, hebben Wall Street-beleggers bedrijven gewaarschuwd om blootstelling aan de cryptocrisis te zoeken. „Het zou een rode vlag zijn voor beleggers als een bedrijf financiële activa zou kopen voor speculatiedoeleinden die niets met hun kernactiviteiten te maken hebben“, vertelde JonesTrading’s belangrijkste marktstrateeg Michael O’Rourke aan Bloomberg.

Het zal interessant zijn om de volgende prijsactie van BTC vanaf hier te bekijken. Waarschijnlijk zou het een tijdje kunnen consolideren rond de $35.000.

The Crypto.com platform (CRO) has just concluded a partnership with the travel giant Booking.com. Crypto.com app users will be able to benefit from discounts of up to 25% of the cost of their hosting.

Crypto.com collaborates with Booking.com

The Crypto.com platform begins the year 2021 with a major announcement, the conclusion of a partnership with the travel giant Booking.com . According to the statement , Crypto.com users will be able to book accommodation through the app, and take advantage of significant discounts.

Without giving further details at the moment, Crypto.com assures that users who make reservations on Booking.com through the app will be able to benefit from discounts of up to 25% of the total cost . The percentage will certainly depend on the number of CRO tokens held by the user.

Crypto.com users now have exclusive access to over 28 million discounted hosting listings:

“In 2020, our Crypto.com Visa card program has grown to be the most widely distributed card in its class, and we know that travel benefits are in high demand,” said Kris Marszalek, CEO and co -founder of Crypto.com

Kris Marszalek adds that Crypto.com now serves more than 5 million users worldwide, and that this partnership with Booking.com is only the first in a long series to come this year.

For Crypto.com, offering such discounts to its users is a big step forward, which will undoubtedly give it greater visibility in the ecosystem.

Although the health situation is still blocking the travel sector today, Crypto.com is taking the lead and will offer a 100% operational service as soon as the situation is restored.

The opportunity to acquire a crypto-card?

To this very interesting advantage are added those of the crypto-cards of Crypto.com, with which it is possible to obtain from 1 to 8% of cashback on his expenses, according to the model. In addition, by ordering a card from the Metal range, each user is eligible for a bonus of $ 25 transferred to the application’s wallet.

All crypto-cards in the Metal range are eligible for this offer, the first being Ruby Steel . To obtain it, all you have to do is deposit 2,500 CRO tokens on the platform, or nearly € 125 at the time of writing. This card gives a 2% cashback on all purchases, in addition to the refund of a Spotify subscription.

At the same time, using the Jade Green and Royal Indigo crypto-cards (25,000 CROs deposited), their holders can have free access to all airport lounges around the world. An advantage that accumulates rather well with the discounts on Booking.com.

Crypto.com greatly enhances the services offered to its users, and they can prepare now to travel at a reduced price as soon as the health situation is acceptable again.

Last year Russel Okung demanded that his annual salary be paid out in Bitcoin. Now he has received the BTC payment from his club.

American football player Russell Okung received half of his annual salary in bitcoin

With a salary of $ 13 million, the Seattle Seahawks offensive player is now roughly 228 BTC richer. Okung is the first NFL player to ever receive payment in cryptocurrencies.

As early as May 2019, he asked his club via Twitter to pay him with Bitcoin. On December 29th, he announced in a tweet that he had finally received a bitcoin sum. A short time later, Okung commented on the advantages of the cryptocurrency:

When we are all paid in Crypto Genius, no one can tell us what to do with the value we create.

Meanwhile, Okung made critical hints against the US dollar. He sees Bitcoin as a safe alternative to protect his money:

If you think elections have been rigged, wait until you find out about the US dollar. You can earn ‚x‘ a year and watch it slowly decrease with inflation

The NFL athlete’s Bitcoin payment could be the starting signal for many other athletes to follow suit. Jack Mallers, founder of Zap, said that athletes from the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Baseball (MLB) are also considering possible payment with Bitcoin.

In times of the Bitcoin all-time high, the payment for the NFL professional should have arrived at just the right time. Cryptocurrencies now seem to have arrived in the field of sports. This is just further evidence that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are moving more and more into the field of vision of the general public.

Handel med bitcoin-derivater er stigende, da institutionelle investorer oversvømmer markedet.

CME Group er blevet verdens største Bitcoin (BTC) futuresmarked efter en stigning i åben interesse i løbet af den sidste måned, viser branchedata.

I et fredags-tweet meddelte Arcane Research, at CME havde overhalet OKEx som verdens største Bitcoin-futuresmarked. Med henvisning til data fra Skew, et markedsunderretningsfirma, sagde Arcane, at den åbne interesse for CMEs Bitcoin Lifestyle har nået $ 1,16 mia. OKEx registrerede i mellemtiden $ 1,07 mia.

”Institutionelle investorer er her,” sagde Arcane.

CMEs Bitcoin-futuresmarked er mere end fordoblet i løbet af den sidste måned, med flere handlende, der søger eksponering for flagskibskryptovaluta, da den steg til næsten alle tiders højder. Futureshandel kan undertiden påberåbe sig stor volatilitet, især når udløbet nærmer sig, da kontraktindehavere justerer deres positioner inden denne dato.

Dens futureskontrakt i november, BTCX20, udløber fredag.

Kryptovalutaudvekslinger Binance og Huobi er også opstået som store futures-spillere. Baseret på åben interesse er de henholdsvis de tredje og fjerde største BTC futures platforme.

Bybit, som også dukkede op på Arcanes liste, meddelte tidligere på ugen, at det snart vil lancere en kvartalsvis Bitcoin futures-kontrakt.

Futuremarkedet er en vigtig klods for Bitcoin-adoption, fordi det betyder, at traditionelle investorer kommer ind i blandingen. Mens tyremarkedet i 2017 i vid udstrækning var drevet af detailhandlere, er den nuværende uptrend blevet drevet af dybere institutionelle lommer.

Især CME bliver vigtig for Bitcoin-prisopdagelse ifølge investeringschef Wilshire Phoenix.

CMEs betydning er “ikke kun demonstreret gennem handelsvolumen og åben interesse,” sagde Wilshire, “men også af indflydelse på dannelsen af ​​spotpriser.

Bitcoin-prisen konsolideres i øjeblikket i $ 16.500-serien efter en kraftig Thanksgiving-dagsudsalg.

Tether’s markedsværdi vokser i næsten rekordhurtigt tempo

Markedsværdien på USDT svulmede med 1 milliard i løbet af ni dage.

Markedsdækslet for Tether (USDT), en amerikansk dollartilknyttet stablecoin, er steget i de seneste uger, hvilket potentielt bidrager til at give næring til det nylige Bitcoin (BTC) -rally, der kørte priser til næsten alle tiders højder.

Paolo Ardoino, der fungerer som dobbelt CTO til Bitfinex og Tether, twitret torsdag, at udbuddet af USDT steg med 1 milliard i løbet af ni dage og markerede den næsthurtigste udvidelse i sin historie. Rekorden blev sat den 4. september 2020, hvor USDT’s cirkulerende forsyning steg over 1 milliard over otte dage.

Ved pressetiden havde Tether en markedsværdi på næsten $ 19 mia., Hvilket betyder, at der er ca. 19 mia. USDT i omløb til en pris på $ 1,00.

Tether’s markedsværdi er steget næsten fire gange siden starten af ​​2020 ifølge CoinMarketCap-data.

Tether markedsværdi af CoinMarketCap

Ved den nuværende cirkulerende forsyning har Tether den fjerde højeste markedsværdi af enhver kryptovaluta.

USDT og andre såkaldte stablecoins tilbyder fiat onramps til kryptokurrencymarkeder, hvorved prisvolatilitet minimeres og sikres let indløsningsevne, når digitale aktiver er solgt. Selvom USDT angiveligt støttes af reelle amerikanske dollareserver, har Tether aldrig udarbejdet en fuld revision af sine bankkonti.

I 2019 hævdede en Bloomberg-rapport, at Tether’s USDT ikke var fuldt knyttet til dollaren, men snarere at den cirkulerende forsyning kun understøttes af 74% i kontanter og kortfristede værdipapirer.

Tether drives også af den samme ledelsesgruppe, der fører tilsyn med Bitfinex, en af ​​de største kryptokurrencyudvekslinger i verden. Det er blevet påstået, at Tether og Bitinex manipulerede tyremarkedet i 2017, selvom det er vanskeligt at bevise en sådan påstand på grund af de decentraliserede kryptovalutamarkeder.

Juridiske eksperter informerede Cointelegraph tidligere på året om, at omfanget af markedsmanipulation i et aktiv som så nyt som Bitcoin vil være vanskeligt at fastslå.

I mellemtiden er Tether fortsat den dominerende stablecoin i branchen og tegner sig for mere end tre fjerdedele af stablecoin-markedsværdien.

Our Bitcoin Whale Alarm is making the sirens wail again and for good reason. Crypto whales are popping up in large numbers while the Bitcoin Benefit reached its highest level in 33 months. In just a few hours, Bitcoin Whales transferred 15,041 BTC worth $ 226.2 million. Some Ethereum whales also showed up on the surface.

In this article we got to the bottom of the question of where these BTC and ETH were moved.

Large amount of bitcoins transferred to Coinbase

Most of the cryptocurrencies have been sent to Coinbase from unknown wallets, where they can be traded on the open market.

Here is an overview of the largest transfers that have just hit the ledger:

Ethereum whales were also on the surface, while the Crypto-Mark exudes extreme euphoria. In the same three-hour period, three whales moved 230,254 ETH worth $ 95.6 million.

Two of the transfers moved crypto between unknown wallets, with the third transfer sent by ETH to the decentralized exchange Uniswap.

30,000 ETH worth 12.3 million dollars sent to Uniswap from an unknown wallet

One thing should be clear: We can definitely expect volatile times on the crypto market and volatility, as every trader knows, opens up a wealth of lucrative opportunities.

Trade Bitcoin and Ethereum with leverage

When it comes to actively trading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, there is hardly a futures exchange that is more popular among traders than ByBit. This is not only lured with attractive bonuses, but above all with a professional trading platform.

Short the markets, go long, use an individually adjustable lever and different options to set your stop loss. But always pay attention to what you are doing and do not act in the markets without adequate risk management. Especially not if you want to trade with leverage!
