Messari: ETH Share On Ethereum’s Blockchain Contentiously Declines, Might Soon Tumble Below 50%

Bild
The value of ETH stored on its own Ethereum blockchain has been continuously decreasing in the past year, new research shows. While numerous ERC-20 tokens operate on the network, the growth of stablecoins presents the most substantial threat to cause a future “flippening.” ETH’s Role On Ethereum Blockchain Decreases Per the research provided by Messari’s Ryan Watkins, ERC-20 tokens are rapidly approaching 50% of the total value stored on the Ethereum network. ERC20 Tokens On Ethereum Blockchain. Source: Messari Until mid-2016, the ETH token comprised 100% of the value stored on the blockchain. Since then, however, the platform specialized for creating smart contracts has adopted numerous ERC-20-based projects, along with the ICO boom of 2017. And as their number and value are rising, the position of Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency steadily declines. Consequently, Watkins noted that “ETH is increasingly close to being flipped on its own blockchain.” ETH/ERC20 Tokens Value On

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Huge Incoming Price Move, As BTC Will Soon Choose Between $10,000 And $9,000

Bild
Over the past days, the Bitcoin price is seeing only one direction, which is in favor of the Bulls. The coin that was trading for $8600 just five days ago is now aiming to re-target the $10K mark. However, will it be so easy? On our most recent BTC analysis from Friday, we pointed out a critical descending trend-line, which started forming once Bitcoin reached the $10K mark for the first time this month (May 7). On both the 4-hour and the following daily chart, you can see this line marked by yellow. As seen below, Bitcoin nicely reached up that line over the past several hours, for the fifth attempt over the past 24 days. However, the attempt quickly turned around and failed: Once Bitcoin reached over $9700, the coin rapidly corrected down, and as of writing these lines, BTC is trading even below $9600. Was it the 5th and last attempt of this line, and from now on – Bitcoin will go down? Or is it only a matter of time until Bitcoin breaks it apart? Only time will tell. Total Mar

Bitcoin Held On Exchanges At Yearly Lows As Investors Gear Up For The Moon

Bild
Bitcoin investors have been transferring their assets outside of specific exchanges lately, new data shows. Ultimately, the BTC balance on platforms has reached its lowest point in over a year by decreasing with more than 320,000 coins since Black Thursday. Bitcoin HODLers Mentality On The Rise During the notorious Black Thursday event in March, when most cryptocurrency assets lost substantial portions of their value, investors – especially short-term holders – transferred sizeable shares of their holdings to exchanges to participate in the massive sell-offs . Since then, however, data provided by Glassnode indicates that the number of BTC held of exchanges has been continuously declining. In fact, this metric reached its lowest yearly point just recently, registering a 12% decline since mid-March. BTC Balance On Exchanges.

Blockchain Firm BitClave Agrees To Pay Almost $30 Million Following SEC Charges

Blockchain-based company BitClave PTE Ltd. reached an agreement to settle all charges brought by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and will pay back all of its 9,500 investors the $25.5 million raised in 2017. BitClave To Pay Back Investors The SEC accused the “blockchain services company” that it conducted an unregistered initial coin offering (ICO) of digital asset securities in 2017. BitClave raised $25.5 million at the time by selling its Consumer Activity Tokens (CAT) to approximately 9,500 investors, including individuals and organizations based in the US. The order from the SEC found that BitClave had violated the registration provisions of the federal securities laws. The company neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s finding, but it ultimately agreed to pay disgorgement of $25.5 million, prejudgment interest of nearly $3.5 million, and a penalty of $400,000. “Issuers of securities, traditional or digital, must comply with the registration requirements of the

Bitcoin’s Current $900 Rally Might Turn Around Soon Upon Reaching Crucial Resistance: BTC Price Analysis

Bild
Since breaking above the $9000 mark on Wednesday, Bitcoin sees only one way. The primary cryptocurrency climbed the resistance stairs and now about to reach a critical resistance trend-line. Bitcoin Bulls Are Back, Until When? As we mentioned here a few days ago, there is no better time to long Bitcoin than when everyone on crypto-twitter is bearish. The majority is almost always wrong in trading. Back to Bitcoin: After an impressive rally and consolidation at the first resistance zone of $9200 – $9300, Bitcoin broke above to our next mention targets of $9400, and $9600 (which is the current daily high as of now). As of writing these lines, Bitcoin seems like building a demand zone on top of the $9400 resistance turned support level. This is from our previous analysis on Wednesday: “Looking at the bigger time-frame, a confirmation of a bullish trend will be made once $9200 – $9300 is breached, and a new higher-low will be produced upon this level.” With all the bullishness out th

Last Resort? Venezuela Closes UN Deal to Buy Food With Its Gold Reserve in UK Bank

It is no longer news that Venezuela is in a deep crisis, but the COVID-19 pandemic in the country is like adding fuel to a raging fire.  With the worsening condition, the government has made a move that would seem like a last resort.  Gold For Food And COVID-19 Supplies Earlier this month, Venezuela’s central bank filed a legal claim to withdraw part of its gold reserve worth £930m ($1.13bn) held with the Bank of England (BoE), so they can buy food, medicine, and other supplies needed for its COVID-19 response.  In April, the country requested the UK bank to sell part of the gold and send the funds to the United Nations to help Venezuela in the fight against the pandemic. A decline from England’s central bank led to the legal claim ordering the bank to comply with the proposed instruction. Avoiding Corruption New reports reveal that Venezuela has successfully reached a deal with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) to use part of the reserve with the BoE to fund the COVID-19 relie

Grayscale Is Buying More Bitcoin Than There Is Mined, Report Says

Bild
The digital asset management company, Grayscale Investments, has increased its Bitcoin buying speed recently. According to a researcher, the firm’s accumulation levels have jumped to about 150% of the freshly mined coins since the third halving. Grayscale Buys A Lot of Bitcoin As CryptoPotato reported recently, Grayscale had increased its Bitcoin holdings by 60,000 coins for the past 100 days. It equaled to about 33% of all mined coins within that timeframe. According to data from today provided by the independent researcher, Kevin Rooke, the cryptocurrency fund management firm had purchased 18,910 bitcoins since the third halving at that point. At the same time, though, the number of mined coins since the event which took place on May 11th was only 12,337. In other words, Grayscale has been buying BTC at a 1.5x rate of the freshly mined coins for the past few weeks. Grayscale BTC Accumulation Rates.
