2022-01-14 18:25:32 ​Naga will launch a social crypto trading platform

Nagax will consist of a crypto wallet, NFT and staking platforms, a spot exchange and a futures and derivatives exchange.

German fintech company Naga, which offers equity and cryptocurrency investments through its mobile app, will launch a social trading platform called Nagax in 2022, Naga announced on Thursday.

The platform, scheduled to launch in the first quarter of this year, will consist of a crypto wallet, a non-fungible token (NFT) platform, a staking platform, a spot exchange with approximately 700 tradable assets, and a futures and derivatives exchange.

Nagax will aim to offer a "unique Web3 social trading experience" whereby user-generated content on the platform is converted into NFTs that can be monetized.

“Any user with access to an Ethereum-based wallet can unlock content immediately. In this way, every content is tokenized and can even be sold as the NFT itself,” said Benjamin Bilsky, CEO of Naga, in a statement.

Bilsky believes that the platform will be in high demand, offering traders content that includes a variety of content from different channels, as well as a monetization stream for crypto influencers.

Naga is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with a market capitalization of around 270 million euros ($310 million). Öffnen / Wie

2022-01-14 11:02:27 ​Coinbase buys U.S. derivatives exchange FairX

Crypto exchange Coinbase has been waiting for the approval of the application to join the National Futures Organization since September. The purchase of FairX should bring the company closer to its cherished goal.

Right now, only a few exchanges allow their investors to trade futures using bitcoin and ether. Coinbase intends to take a place among them. A similar deal was made by FTX US in August 2021 when it bought LedgerX.

“The US derivatives market is critical to us. It will allow millions of our customers to participate in the crypto economy and develop. Both retail and institutional,” says the Coinbase blog.

The company plans to bring regulated crypto derivatives to the market and make them more accessible to retail clients. Coinbase believes that FairX is the best choice for these purposes: the platform has a strong team of specialists with deep knowledge in the development of crypto products and market structure.

2022-01-13 11:11:40 ​Visa and ConsenSys team up to develop CBDC technology

Visa has announced a partnership with blockchain technology company ConsenSys to develop a module to help central banks and financial institutions build user-friendly services on top of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) networks.

The alliance is combining the new CBDC framework with the existing financial ecosystem to create a roadmap for adoption and allow consumers to spend CBDC at any merchant accepting Visa, the company said.

CBDCs differ from decentralized currencies like Bitcoin in that they are issued and supported by the government and transact on a centralized authorized blockchain.

“We spoke with nearly 30 central banks to understand their views on CBDC and determine how our network, infrastructure and value-added services can support them,” said a Visa spokesman.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said during an approval hearing before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday that a report on digital currencies can be expected in the coming weeks. During the hearing, Powell added that he believes CBDC and private stablecoins can coexist.

However, a bill was introduced on Wednesday to prohibit the issuance of CBDCs to individuals in the United States. Thus, the government wants to establish a monopoly on this sector, getting rid of competition with the private sector.

A Visa spokesman said the company could not predict if the Federal Reserve or other central banks will be able to launch the CBDC, and when.

“If successful, CBDC can expand access to financial services and make government transfers more efficient, targeted and secure,” said Katherine Gu, Visa's head of CBDC, in a blog post published on Thursday. "This is an attractive proposition for politicians." Öffnen / Wie

2022-01-12 17:28:51 ​Argentina is thinking about the legalization of cryptocurrency payments

Strike has announced the official launch of its financial product in Argentina. Thus, the Latin American state became the third after the United States and El Salvador, where the firm's cryptocurrency application is available. Analysts suggested that this could mark the beginning of a path towards legalizing cryptocurrencies in the country.

Strike chief Jack Mullers said Argentina is a country with a huge number of economic problems. For example, hyperinflation or inefficient payment networks. He noted that the inflation rate in the country is now one of the highest on the planet. The expert said that 50% of the population is poor.

Market analysts emphasized that most of the country's citizens do not trust national money and prefer savings in US dollars (USD). The government had to devalue its currency, as well as impose restrictions on foreign circulation. The country's leadership has initiated the implementation of the so-called "Impuesto País". Now all citizens are forced to pay a 30% commission for USD exchange transactions.

Strike will enable residents of Argentina to spend and convert their assets quickly and without commissions. Mullers suggested that the government might eventually recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tender. The technology company will try to help stabilize the economic situation in the South American state.

However, the expert said that it is too early to draw premature conclusions. Strike will try to help the citizens of Argentina, but there is no need to wonder what will happen next. He assured that his organization is the supplier of the best advertising in the world - money. Öffnen / Wie

2022-01-12 10:25:52 ​Fidelity Investments Canada Launches Spot Bitcoin ETF

The multinational financial services corporation intends to make several changes to its Fidelity All-in-One Growth ETF and Fidelity All-in-One Balanced ETF.

After several unsuccessful attempts to launch a spot exchange-traded bitcoin fund in the United States, at the end of last year, Fidelity launched such a product through its Canadian branch.

The company has now announced that it will expand the fund's distribution to include it in larger ETFs.

By adding a small amount of the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF to the Fidelity All-in-One Growth ETF and the Fidelity All-in-One Balanced ETF, regular customers will be able to access BTC from the end of this month.

Following this addition, the company will change the risk ratings of the two traditional ETFs. Both will be classified as medium risk, although previously they were low to medium.

Fidelity has demonstrated support for bitcoin over the years, becoming one of the most open companies in the traditional financial arena. In addition to several products tracking asset performance, the organization's director of macroeconomics predicts that BTC could surpass $ 100,000 in the coming months. Öffnen / Wie

2022-01-11 17:40:21 ​Ether Capital CEO Predicts Bitcoin Split From Other Assets

Brian Mosoff, CEO of the investment company Ether Capital, assessed the prospects of the cryptoindustry and the leading digital asset in terms of capitalization, bitcoin.

Mosoff noted the enormous potential for staking. In his opinion, the PoS consensus protocol allows you to get a decent income by storing cryptocurrencies and monetize "traditionally unproductive assets." Brian believes that pension fund managers may be interested in staking, because deposits bring in a potential profit of 5-10%.

Mosoff's words about the competitiveness of staking are supported by statistics. In September last year, 35 top cryptocurrencies issued in blockchains based on the PoS protocol accounted for 30% of the capitalization of digital assets. At the same time, the capitalization of the top 30 coins with the staking function reached $ 594 billion, and four of them (Ethereum, Cardano, Solana and Polkadot) were in the top 10 virtual currencies in terms of capitalization.

During an interview with YouTube channel Bloomberg Technology, Brian was unable to unequivocally answer the question about the future of bitcoin. He does not know if BTC will secure the status of digital gold, a risk hedging instrument, or an asset similar in nature to technology stocks.

I think bitcoin will branch off from other valuable assets over time. BTC is undoubtedly still viewed as a risky financial instrument, Mosoff noted.

Brian is betting on maintaining a high level of volatility in the stock and cryptocurrency markets. It also does not rule out an influx of institutional capital into the digital asset space following the introduction of “structured products”, which include exchange-traded funds.

However, cryptocurrency derivatives have not yet met expectations. In 2021, the United States began trading shares of the first Bitcoin ETF ProShares Bitcoin Strategy (BITO). In two months, the fund's quotes lost 30% in price, and BITO ranked ninth in terms of this indicator among ETFs in the entire history. The first line in the rating of losers is held by the hemp ETF POTX, which shares have fallen in price by 38% within two months after the start of trading. Öffnen / Wie

2022-01-11 10:36:26 ​Spanish congressman offered to "save" Kazakhstani miners

Maria Muñoz from the liberal party Ciudadanos (Citizens), known for her crypto-enthusiasm, writes that Kazakhstani miners are forced to suspend the mining of cryptocurrencies, primarily bitcoin, due to the deteriorating political situation, interruptions in electricity and the Internet. Against the background of unrest in the country, miners are forced to look for new places for data centers.

The congressman asks the Spanish authorities to consider how the move of the owners of Kazakhstani farms could affect the mining industry in Spain. The parliamentarian is interested in the government's assessment of the state of affairs in the Spanish mining industry and energy costs for mining cryptocurrencies.

“We offer Spain to position itself as a safe place to invest in cryptocurrencies,” the MP writes on Twitter.

Maria Muñoz is actively involved in the development of the Spanish crypto industry. In October 2021, the MP came up with a proposal to develop a national strategy for the development of cryptocurrencies. The regulation should establish a clear framework for attracting investors and protecting citizens from fraud.

The MP believes that, despite the high level of adoption of cryptocurrencies in Spain, none of the regulators is assigned to oversee the industry. As a result, citizens may have false expectations about the safety of investing in cryptocurrencies.

The Ciudadanos party has asked the authorities to organize a campaign to educate citizens about cryptocurrencies and coordinate market regulation efforts with the European Union and cryptocurrency companies on the continent.

Amid the unrest in Kazakhstan, the hashrate of the Bitcoin network fell by 12%, and the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market fell below $ 2 trillion. Already in November 2021, information appeared that mining companies were leaving Kazakhstan due to a lack of electricity.

This happened after the authorities of Kazakhstan introduced restrictions on the power supply of data centers. At the same time, the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan announced earlier that it would not limit the energy consumption of registered miners. Öffnen / Wie

2022-01-10 16:41:47 ​UAE ready to accept cryptocurrency at the official level

Legal expert Kokila Alah explained that the latest regulatory action from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) suggests that the country's leadership is paving the way for the adoption of cryptocurrencies.

The year 2021 showed that the governments of many countries are not ready to keep up with the times. Many of them preferred the introduction and use of useful technologies, their complete ban. At the same time, the UAE takes a different approach.

Emirates regulators are gradually building restrictions and opportunities for doing crypto business in the country in accordance with the laws, hoping to become the blockchain capital.

Jurisdictions in the country are divided into the mainland, where the regulator is the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), and free zones, i.e. geographically defined territories in the UAE with relaxed taxation and regulation regimes.

Legal expert from the UAE Kokila Alag explained the regulatory situation in the country, presenting his findings for consideration. He argues that the country's authorities are interested in providing certainty and opportunities for business related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies:

“The innovations in cryptocurrency laws show that the government wants to provide certainty and has opened up new opportunities in the UAE. SCA can rightfully be considered a progressive regulator on a global scale. They are not trying to prohibit something new and unknown, they are not ignoring the phenomenon of digital assets, but are trying to make a profit for their state and opportunities for their residents. And most importantly, not forgetting to research and make adjustments as the crypto sector develops. "

The country first introduced laws for digital assets back in 2018, initiated by the FSRA, a financial services regulator for zones with relaxed regulatory regimes. Öffnen / Wie
