Blockchain.com’s Head Of Research Breaks Down State Of The Crypto Market And What’s Coming For Bitcoin

The month of May was not a great one for the world’s biggest cryptocurrency and June hasn’t shown significant signs of improvement, not to the casual observer at least. Bitcoin had reached highs of over $60,000 but experienced a 40% drop after Elon Musk announced his car-manufacturing company, Tesla, was suspending Bitcoin payments despite having appeared to be advocates and buying $1.5 billion worth of BTC.

BTCUSD Chart By TradingViewMusk also implied the company would be selling its holdings but later indicated that would not be the case. The billionaire has since come under fire for what folks perceive is market manipulation and he has even received threats from the hacker group known as Anonymous.

Musk pointed to Bitcoin mining’s high energy usage but steps are being taken to make it so that mining becomes a much cleaner process in the future

Ultra-Bullish On BTCMeanwhile, Blockchain.com’s head of research Dr. Garrick Hileman has encouraged investors to remain bullish amid the fears of a further crash in a recent Medium column.

“And for anyone who missed bitcoin’s runup to $64k we believe now is an attractive entry point to own your first (or more) crypto,” the piece reads. 

Hileman’s research points out that crypto, in general, has already started its recovery following El Salvador’s adopting of Bitcoin as legal tender, although the International Monetary Fund has warned there could be costly repercussions.

MicroStrategy’s move to buy even more BTC is also considered to be one of the factors present crypto building towards a recovery. The company’s founder, Michael Saylor, was the one who brought Musk and a group of American miners together to discuss renewable energy mining last month.

And What Of China?China’s changing stance on Bitcoin is also causing worry but Hileman reckons the country is wasting its early lead in blockchain technology. He admits that, while China cannot bury Bitcoin, crypto will be worse off if the government finds success in suppressing it.

The Chinese government seemed to be in perfect stride with Musk when the country’s Premier announced plans to “crackdown” on Bitcoin mining. China is, of course, the world’s biggest mining hub, and such pressure could significantly affect the coin’s price.

China’s attack on Bitcoin is hardly novel, though. The country has been taking negative stances on the digital asset for nearly a decade now yet that did nothing to prevent it from reaching the heights it did in 2021.
Three Low-Risk Ways to Secure New Project Tokens

Over the last few weeks, the cryptocurrency market has shown signs of weakness, with many cryptocurrencies losing considerable value during this time, and investors becoming increasingly wary of investing in new tokens. 

But while straight-up buying new tokens is one way to gain exposure to new potentially promising projects, there are also numerous ways to buy, earn, or win new tokens with little to no risk. Here, we list three often overlooked ways to do exactly that. 

Participate In a LockdropGenerally, getting your hands on new project tokens entails either participating in an airdrop, or helping to fund the project through an investment round — such as an initial DEX offering (IDO) or Liquidity Bootstrap Pool (LBP). 

But Edgeware, a platform that provides an all-one hub for developers and blockchain enthusiasts, pioneered a completely novel token distribution system, known as the Lockdrop. 

As its name suggests, a Lockdrop involves locking up tokens for a fixed period of time to receive an airdrop for another asset. The team behind Edgeware believe that this system is more conducive to getting new project tokens in the hands of would-be long-term holders, since participants need to temporarily forgo the opportunities that come with holding onto the first token (e.g. ETH) in order to claim another (i.e. the new project token). 

Image courtesy: Edgeware

Unsurprisingly, the first Lockdrop was held for Edgeware’s native utility token, known as EDG. As part of the process, users needed to lock their ETH in the Lockdrop smart contract for a period of at least 3 months or as long as a year — receiving proportionally more tokens for committing to a longer lockup.

Edgeware eventually went on to become what many describe as one of the most progressive blockchains built on Substrate, while EDG became one of the most widely distributed ERC-20 tokens, with more than 11 million holders currently, and over 15 million at its peak. 

Since 2019, a handful of other projects have also launched via Lockdrop, these include Plasm Network, Spherium Finance, Equilibrium, and more — demonstrating sustained interest in the method. 

Refundable Strong Holder Offerings (rSHOs)Cryptocurrency investments are well-known to provide some of the highest returns of any asset class — with the average cryptocurrency more than doubling in value since the start of the year alone. 

Nonetheless, there is always some element of risk involved. After all, there’s a chance that a bear market could arise and an investment fails to pay off or a project simply fails to deliver on its promises and loses value as a result. 

This is why investors are frequently reminded to only invest what they are willing to lose, since some cryptocurrency investments can result in complete losses. 

But this is not the case with a particular type of cryptocurrency investment, known as a refundable Strong Holder Offering (rSHO). With an rSHO, investors are able to participate in an early stage token sale for vetted projects, while simultaneously limiting their downside risk.

— DAO Maker (@TheDaoMaker) December 2, 2020This, because a large part of the initial investment is refundable, should the project token fail to achieve specific goals within a fixed period of time, e.g. if its market value falls below the rSHO price. 

The terms can vary between rSHOs, but as an example, the AnRKey X rSHO ensured anybody could claim a refund within 6 months of the token generation event (TGE) should the ANRX token fall more than 20% below its rSHO price. 
Top Trader Flips Bullish on Two Altcoins, Says One Crypto Sector Is Showing Strength

Popular crypto trader and analyst Cantering Clark believes two altcoins may be ready to take off while one sector of the markets shows signs of strength. 

While Bitcoin moves mostly sideways, the pseudonymous trader tells his 60,200 followers that he closed a short position on Synthetix (SNX) as the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is starting to show signs of bullishness.

 “Closing this out before it gets run over.

DeFi showing strength right now.”

US Marshals Service Hires Custodian for Seized Cryptocurrencies — Over 185K BTC Confiscated, Sold so Far

The U.S. Marshals Service, a primary law enforcement agency of the Department of Justice (DOJ), has hired a new custodian for its seized cryptocurrencies. The agency has seized and auctioned off over 185K bitcoins so far.

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) has selected Anchorage Digital to provide custody for cryptocurrencies seized in criminal cases, the crypto custody firm announced Wednesday.The USMS is one of the primary law enforcement agencies of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). It was also the first federal law enforcement agency in the country.Anchorage explained:This award means that Anchorage will be responsible for providing a full suite of cryptocurrency services.

The services include “custody, liquidation, and such activities as accounting, customer management, audit compliance, managing blockchain forks, wallet creation, transformation of token assets into coin assets, etc., as well as future actions associated with the virtual currency forfeiture process,” the company detailed.

Prior to hiring Anchorage, the USMS awarded the crypto custody contract to Bitgo in April, after spending more than a year seeking a custodian and financial services provider for its stockpile of seized crypto assets. Bitgo was acquired by Galaxy Digital in May. It is not clear why the DOJ decided to use Anchorage instead of Bitgo to custody seized cryptocurrencies.According to CNBC, the Marshals Service has confiscated and sold more than 185,000 bitcoins worth more than $7.2 billion since about 2014. Venture capitalist Tim Draper won the USMS auction of 30,000 confiscated bitcoins from the now-defunct Silk Road in 2014.The Marshals Service’s most recent bitcoin auction was in February last year when more than 4,041 BTC were auctioned.
Fidelity Purchases More Than 7% Stake in One of North America’s Biggest BTC Mining Firms

Fidelity Investments Inc. is now a major stakeholder in Marathon Digital Holdings, one of the biggest bitcoin mining firms in North America.

Fidelity Investments Buys More Than 7% of MarathonAt the time of writing, Fidelity has purchased a 7.4 percent stake in the crypto mining enterprise, thereby boosting the institutional presence that has grown so prevalent in the crypto world over the past few months. Since the end of last year, many institutional figures from Square to MicroStrategy to Tesla have all gotten into the bitcoin game, buying anywhere from several hundred million to more than $2 billion worth of the world’s number one digital currency.

While Fidelity is not exactly purchasing crypto assets, it is holding a stake in a company that mines them, and Marathon has grown exponentially over the past year alone. While bitcoin has seen its price jump by roughly 240 percent in the past 12 months, Marathon shares have expanded by more than 660 percent. Thus, Fidelity seems to think that by taking ownership of a bitcoin-based company rather than bitcoin itself, it can somehow rake in more profit.

Tik Tok Is Allegedly Censoring Crypto Influencers

Social media platform Tik Tok appears to have changed its rules and regulations. As a result, many crypto and blockchain-related videos are getting taken down, though their posters say they have not committed any wrongdoing.

Tik Tok Isn’t Crazy About Crypto VideosTik Tok says it is disallowing any videos that promote illegal activities and/ or regulated goods. Here is the real irony: bitcoin and crypto is not fully regulated anywhere in the world. Thus, how could any sort of cryptocurrency video stem from regulated source material? This is an issue we are seeing all over the world, from the U.S. and beyond. As the crypto space continues to grow, many regulators are questioning how they can potentially control it or rule it in some way. The trouble is that many regulators do not know how, considering they don’t understand enough about the space.
Ethereum Whales Promptly Relocate Over $1,000,000,000 in ETH Amid Crypto Market Correction

Whales moved more than $1 billion in Ethereum (ETH) across 21 separate transactions this week amid a widespread market correction, according to crypto tracker Whale Alert.

Whale Alert notes an unknown wallet sent Binance a whopping 99,990 ETH on Tuesday, worth more than $343 million, the largest of the tracked transactions.
MicroStrategy Bought More BTC… Then the Price Fell.

Known software firm and institutional bitcoin investing company MicroStrategy has just purchased more than 5,000 additional units of bitcoin for a whopping $242.9 million. At the time of writing, the company – following this recent purchase – owns close to $6 billion in BTC, the world’s leading digital currency by market cap.

MicroStrategy Just Keeps Buying BitcoinIn a filing documented earlier this week, it was recorded that MicroStrategy purchased as many as 5,050 separate units of bitcoin at an average price of about $48,099. Already, this move is coming back to bite MicroStrategy in the butt. The company is so adamant to purchase more bitcoin that it is often losing money on its investments. For example, the asset has since fallen by close to $5,000 since the enterprise engaged in this recent purchase. Thus, that $242 million has since fallen by quite a bit.

Still, MicroStrategy has not shown any inclination that it is bothered by this recent maneuver, and to an extent, we need to respect the firm and its executives for that. MicroStrategy has arguably proven itself to be the biggest bitcoin fan out there. The company first began purchasing the asset in August of 2020 – just over one year ago – to much speculation, as at the time, it was extremely rare for a business – especially one of MicroStrategy’s size and standing – to engage in crypto investments and trades.
Here Are Three Reasons Bitcoin Will Remain ‘Ultra-Volatile’ in the Foreseeable Future, According to Deutsche Bank Analyst

A senior economist at Deutsche Bank predicts Bitcoin (BTC) will remain “ultra-volatile” for the foreseeable future.

Marion Laboure, who also works as a market strategist at the banking giant, says BTC could potentially become the 21st century gold down the road. At this point in time, Laboure says BTC’s high level of volatility keeps it from serving as an effective store of value, and she does not expect wild price swings to disappear any time soon for three reasons.

What Is FTM?

Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds.The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019.

The platform’s compatibility with Ethereum means that users can purchase an ERC-20 standard FTM, which is automatically converted to native FTM once received to their wallet. Another version of FTM is available on Binance Chain using its BEP2 standard. Only the native FTM can be used on the Fantom OPERA mainnet itself.

Fantom attempts to use a new scratch-built consensus mechanism to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts.
The mechanism, Lachesis, promises much higher capacity and two-second transaction finalization, along with improvements to security over traditional PoS algorithm-based platforms.
Matching Ethereum, the project appeals to developers looking to deploy decentralized solutions. According to its official literature, its mission is to “grant compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world.”
Its in-house PoS token, FTM, forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards the latter represents.
