• Os investidores institucionais podem agora ganhar em seu BTC.
• O Badger oferece estacas para o Bitcoin embrulhado.
• A ficha do BADGER sobe 8% no anúncio.

Protocolo de financiamento descentralizado (DeFi) O Badger DAO está dando mais passos para trazer a Bitcoin para o Ethereum com sua mais recente parceria com os Fireblocks institucionais onramp.

Em um anúncio de 9 de abril, o Badger DAO declarou que a parceria ajudaria a trazer o Bitcoin Evolution institucional para o ecossistema DeFi. O protocolo de embalagem Bitcoin também objetiva aumentar sua utilização entre a crescente base de investidores institucionais.

Fireblocks é uma plataforma de nível empresarial que oferece infra-estrutura segura para movimentação, armazenamento e emissão de ativos digitais para clientes institucionais.

„Estamos entusiasmados em anunciar uma parceria estratégica entre a Fireblocks e a BadgerDAO para permitir que os clientes institucionais Fireblocks 200+ mantenham com segurança os ativos da Badger em sua plataforma e coloquem seu Bitcoin em funcionamento“.

Trazendo Bitcoin para a DeFi

O anúncio acrescentou que, com as ramificações certas, os investidores institucionais poderiam colocar em funcionamento sua Bitcoin recentemente adquirida. Por causa disso, isso poderia ajudar a dar início à próxima grande injeção de capital para a DeFi.

Fireblocks garantiu a transferência de mais de US$ 400 bilhões em ativos digitais até o momento. Também completou em março uma rodada de financiamento de US$133 milhões da Série C liderada por alguns grandes nomes do capital de risco.

A parceria permitirá que os cofres da Badger dApp e Sett sejam integrados aos Fireblocks para criar produtos API e de extensão de navegador.

„Isto permite que seus usuários depositem bitcoin tokenized diretamente em qualquer um de nossos cofres de produção automatizada para gerar entre 10-197% APY“.

O produto principal do Badger é o cofre Sett. Os usuários podem depositar a bitcoin tokenizada no cofre, como o wBTC ou o renBTC, para gerar um rendimento automatizado.

O protocolo afirma ter em seus cofres mais de $1 bilhão de dólares de Bitcoin tokenized em seus cofres a partir de estratégias de agregação de rendimento automatizadas. A colaboração também permitirá aos clientes institucionais segurar com segurança seus tokens Badger e ativos que rendem juros na plataforma Fireblocks.

O protocolo em troca de tokens LP de alto rendimento também está disponível para os usuários do Fireblocks, acrescentou ele.

O Fireblocks foi o primeiro cliente institucional a integrar a DeFi através da integração com o protocolo de empréstimo Compound Finance em março de 2020. É parceira de vários outros protocolos criptográficos e DeFi desde então, incluindo Aave, Synthetix e NEM.

Como relatado pelo BeInCrypto, a BadgerDAO fez uma parceria com a Yearn Finance em fevereiro para desenvolver abóbadas Bitcoin seguras. Também lançou seu próprio cofres estáveis chamado CLAWS no mesmo mês.

Atualização de preços BADGER

A ficha nativa do BadgerDAO subiu 8% nas notícias, atingindo 41,82 dólares na época da imprensa, segundo a CoinGecko. BADGER recuou 10% durante a última semana, no entanto, mas muitos desses ganhos foram recuperados.

A ficha atingiu o máximo de 84 dólares em 9 de fevereiro, mas atualmente recuou para cerca da metade. A TVL no protocolo é de cerca de US$ 1 bilhão, de acordo com a DeFi Pulse.

Das ILCoin-Blockchain-Projekt hat ein neues Instrument veröffentlicht, das Benutzern passive Einkommensoptionen auf dem wachsenden DeFi-Markt bietet.

Das Wrapped ILCoin (WILC) bietet Interoperabilität zwischen den ILCoin- und Ethereum-Netzwerken und setzt auf kettenübergreifende Lösungen, um die Verfügbarkeit von Liquidität und die Entwicklung von DeFi-Anwendungen sicherzustellen. WILC-Token können eins zu eins mit digitalen ILCoin-Assets ausgetauscht werden, sodass Inhaber nahtlos eine Verbindung zum Ethereum-Netzwerk herstellen und Transaktionen darauf durchführen können.

„DeFi ist eine Möglichkeit für die Kryptowelt. Wir haben jahrelang geäußert, dass es bei der Dezentralisierung nicht nur darum geht, ob ein Code für jedermann zugänglich ist

Freier Zugang ist nutzlos, wenn der Handel zentral funktioniert. Es ist ein dezentraler Austausch erforderlich, damit die Bitcoin Future Realität wird. Ich hoffe, dass dank DeFi-Projekten mehr DEXs auf dem Markt erscheinen und Missbrauch durch Dritte effektiv beseitigt wird “, so Norbert Goffa, Executive Manager bei ILCoin Blockchain Project.

WILC ist ein Instrument, das als Träger eines Liquiditätsbereitstellungsmechanismus entwickelt wurde und es seinen Inhabern ermöglicht, ihr WILC-Vermögen in 50/50 Paaren mit beliebten Münzen wie Ether ( ETH ), Dai oder Tether ( USDT ) in eine Vielzahl von Liquiditätspools einzubringen . Der Beitrag ermöglicht es den Stakeholdern, Prämien aus Netzwerktransaktionen in Höhe von 0,3% der von ihnen bereitgestellten Gesamtliquidität zu erhalten. Die Belohnungen werden automatisch zur sofortigen Entsorgung auf die persönlichen Geldbörsen des Inhabers überwiesen.

Das WILC-Token ist derzeit an der dezentralen Vermittlungsstelle von Uniswap verfügbar, und das ILCoin-Entwicklungsteam plant, die Reichweite der Verfügbarkeit von WILC in naher Zukunft auf stärker dezentrale Vermittlungsstellen auszudehnen

„Langfristig ist es das Ziel des ILCoin-Entwicklungsteams, eine einzigartige On-Chain-Datenspeicherplattform zu schaffen. Als innovatives Projekt haben wir stets versucht, Wert für unsere Benutzer zu schaffen. Das Jahr 2021 beginnt vielversprechend, da wir nach dem Zeitalter der ILCoin-Vergeltung in relativ kurzer Zeit mit WILC in den Markt eintreten konnten “, erklärte Ramiro Faro Vélez, CEO von SYDYG.

Das Entwicklungsteam des ILCoin-Blockchain-Projekts hat festgestellt, dass WILC ein Vehikel für zukünftige technische Lösungen ist und für mehrere Anwendungen verfügbar gemacht wurde, die unter https://wilc.finance heruntergeladen werden können .

Dash and Cosmos (ATOM) out of control thanks to staking

Not only the flagship Bitcoin is benefiting from the upswing on the crypto market. The altcoins are also staging a remarkable rally. Dash and Cosmos (ATOM) are among the top performers, demonstrating the different forces at work in the crypto market.

In the slipstream of the crypto draft horses Bitcoin and Ethereum, all altcoins are currently in top form. Like BTC and ETH, they are benefiting from massive capital inflows. In the past four weeks alone, almost 500 billion US dollars have flowed into the crypto market. At currently 1.5 trillion US dollars, the overall market is more liquid than ever before. If the trend continues, the symbolic 2 trillion US dollar mark is only a matter of weeks. There are a number of different causal relationships at work that favour the current shift of Bitcoin Evolution assets into crypto assets. Staking demand, DeFi growth or network upgrades: the levers are as diverse as the crypto ecosystem. Dash and Cosmos (ATOM) are examples of the different forces at work.

Dash is still more than 1,000 US dollars away from its record high from 2017. However, with a weekly increase of over 100 percent, the growth curve of the privacy coin is currently pointing steeply north. In addition to a general mood of optimism on the crypto market, the Dash rally can be explained in particular against the background of the approaching Dash platform.

The Dash platform has been in development since 2015 and is considered a Dash showcase project

At the end of 2020, the Dash Core Group announced the release for the Dash platform on the testnet, setting the countdown for the transfer to the mainnet. As a decentralised cloud storage, the platform is intended to compete with the centralised top dogs Amazon and Google in the future. Users can send and store data via the Dash platform, but unlike Google and Co. these are not to be monetised for advertising purposes. In addition, users can implement dApps in the platform via the DAPI. The Mainnet launch is roughly dated for the third quarter of this year.

In addition, the Dash price is benefiting from a general increase in staking demand. With its Masternodes, the Dash network also offers a type of passive income, just under a different guise. Instead of Proof of Stake, the Dash consensus process is called Proof of Service, but aims at the same remuneration model. Masternodes also store the entire blockchain history and authorise transactions. In return, they deposit a stake in advance and are financially remunerated for their services. In addition, they receive voting rights for the use of 10 percent of the Block Rewards, which flow into Dash community projects. The network currently has almost 5,000 masternodes.

Santa brings him bitcoins – Here’s a fabulous new Christmas story, but in crypto sauce this time. While spending a few days with his family for the holiday season, this very precocious Bitcoin (BTC) user has regained access to a real crypto-fortune.

The endless problem of lost private keys

Under the pseudonym „BitcoinHolderThankU“ , an early Bitcoin (BTC) connoisseur posted on Reddit his fantastic (re) discovery of his long-buried BTCs .

He explains that it all started around the years 2011-2012 : while playing a video game called „Dark Orbit“ with his friends, our student discovered that he could provide himself with „Uridium“ (the currency of the game in question) thanks to a strange new digital currency called Bitcoin .

He would then have managed to accumulate the (now fantastic) sum of 127 bitcoins , simply by „completing surveys, watching videos“ and other small random tasks on the Internet!

To use his expression “holy fcking sht” (which we will politely translate as “thank God”), he never finally used these BTC to buy the video game Uridium. But these bitcoins had nevertheless fallen into oblivion , for 8 to 9 years, until …

He becomes a multi-millionaire overnight

Our young man had gone to spend a week with his grandfather for the Christmas holidays . It was then that, on December 22, 2020 , he found his old Dell branded computer in the attic.

Upon lighting this relic of the past, he discovers a text file simply called “Keys” . As you can imagine, these were in fact the private keys that give access and control to his old Bitcoin wallet !

Barely his 127 BTC found, the young man could not withstand such pressure and quickly sold everything . It has indeed found a platform that practiced the trade bitcoins OTC ( Over-The-Counter or OTC ), which has agreed to take back all of his treasure against „0.15% commission ” .

“(..) I ended up selling the 127 bitcoins for a price of $ 33,439 per BTC (…) The net amount [of the sale] was around $ 4.24 million”.

However, in a column entitled „What I would have done differently“ , he explains that with a little more hindsight and coolness :

„I would not have sold the 127 bitcoins, if I had been given a second chance (…) I would have sold a good part of them, but I would have kept a handful for years to come“ .

Indeed, even not to mention reselling the highest of nearly $ 42,000 that Bitcoin has offered us in recent days, it could easily have put $ 1 million more in its purse.

Major media outlets have declared Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election, leading analysts to speculate on how Biden’s presidency could impact the price of Bitcoin in 2021

On November 7, several major media outlets announced that after 4 days of rigorous vote counting in key states on the battlefield, Joe Biden had managed to secure enough electoral votes to become the 46th president of the United States.

As enthusiasm for an incredibly fierce election begins to wane, analysts will examine more closely how Biden’s presidency can impact traditional markets and the price of Bitcoin.

Three key factors to consider are the possible passage of a new round of economic stimulus, the strengthening of the US dollar and the possibility of stock market recovery.

Economic stimulus may drive Bitcoin higher

Before the election, US President Donald Trump said he wanted to postpone discussions on stimulus until after the election. As a result, Democrats and Republicans fought to reach a consensus on an agreement.

Biden’s election sheds light on the prospect of a stimulus package by the end of the year. Democrats in the US Congress already proposed a $2.2 trillion stimulus bill in October, but failed to win Senate support.

The second round of stimulus could positively affect Bitcoin because it significantly relaxes financial conditions in the US. It would also boost the US economy and in turn boost investors‘ appetite for high-risk assets.

Bitcoin’s perception has evolved from a risky asset to a safe haven asset and a game of inflation in recent months. Nevertheless, there are still several cases where the price of Bitcoin moves in tandem with the stock market, so in the absence of appetite for risky assets, the price of Bitcoin may still rise.

US Dollar on the rise

If the Biden government approves a stimulus package, the US dollar will rise. The euro area, for example, has seen the euro rise rapidly after approving a major stimulus proposal.

The US dollar has been underperforming against reserve currencies since March. As a result, it has helped the recovery of gold, Bitcoin and other alternative reserves of value as they are priced against the dollar.

As such, there is a possibility that a second round of stimulus and investor confidence improvement could initially have a positive impact on the price of the Bitcoin. It is also important to note that, over time, the strengthening of the dollar could apply additional selling pressure on Bitcoin and gold.

Stock markets may rise now that the election has been ‚resolved

Analysts also predict a recovery in the US stock market following the confirmation of the election result.

While many analysts believe that Biden’s fiscal and environmental policies could lead to a decline in the stock market, there is a high probability that stocks could rise in the short term.

The stock market fell sharply throughout August and September, as analysts warned against a contested election. Speculation surrounding the election result is unlikely to have fuelled a sale of risky assets.

Instead, fear that the election would drag on without a clear winner made the markets tremble.

After the 2020 race is over, there is less uncertainty in the markets and this could allow stocks to recover alongside other risky assets.

In terms of regulation, Compound Finance’s general board, Jake Chervinsky, said that Biden did not express any public position on crypto assets. He wrote :

„President-elect Biden has not said anything publicly about his views on crypto. For the time being, it is really not a big enough problem to justify his attention. The next four years of US encryption policy depend on who he nominates for key positions; we will know more as the transition continues. ”

Although the media has announced that Joe Biden is the winner of the 2020 election, President Trump has not yet given in and it is widely expected that Trump’s legal team will challenge the results and attempt to force a recount in each state on the battlefield.

If this occurs, fear and volatility can quickly re-enter the markets and lead to a downturn in stock and crypto prices.

Excellent profits in Q3 2020 for Galaxy Digital, mainly due to its Bitcoin trading activity

Galaxy Digital, a crypto bank founded by Mike Novogratz, intends to expand into Canada.

According to a statement on November 16, Galaxy Digital has partnered with Canada’s leading investment firm, CI Global Asset Management, to launch a Italian Formula public fund in the country.

The CI Galaxy Bitcoin Fund is a „closed-end investment fund“ that aims to provide unit holders with exposure to Bitcoin. The announcement states that the fund will invest directly in Bitcoin based on the prices of the Bloomberg Galaxy Bitcoin Index.

As part of the new initiative, CI GAM has filed and acquired a preliminary prospectus for the initial public offering (IPO) of CI Galaxy Bitcoin Fund. The fund will offer Class A and Class F units at a price of $10 each. While CI GAM will be responsible for asset management, Galaxy Digital will act as its subadvisor, which means that it will perform all BTC trading activities on behalf of the fund.

According to the announcement, you will be able to buy a stake in the fund „in each of Canada’s provinces and territories“.

In addition to the CI Galaxy Bitcoin Fund, Galaxy Digital has also launched other Bitcoin projects, such as the Galaxy Bitcoin Fund and the Galaxy Institutional Bitcoin Fund. The company also manages funds based on other cryptos, such as EOS.

The new initiative was launched shortly after Galaxy Digital saw a sharp increase in trading volumes in the third quarter of 2020. As reported by Cointelegraph, the company reported 75 percent year-on-year volume growth in Q3 2020, reaching $1.4 billion.
Zhao added that the DeFi industry has great potential for growth, noting that it remains popular even during the current sharp rise in Bitcoin (BTC). The CEO also pointed out that in 2017 Initial Coin Offering has been called a bubble, but several ICO-born projects, including Binance, are still going strong:

„Companies create new tokens, distribute them as a reward. It’s not a long story, but I think DeFi is here to stay. Even while Bitcoin’s popularity is growing significantly, DeFi continues to make people talk about it. We believe there is great potential for growth in DeFi.“

However, Zhao pointed out that some DeFi projects „may not last too long,“ although the industry offers a range of stimuli through yield farming and liquidity incentives.

In addition, Zhao said that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are the best form of money, calling it the „currency of freedom for millions of people around the world. According to the CEO’s forecasts, the crypto market has the potential to grow up to 100,000% as digital assets are likely to become more widespread than fiat currencies.

After the recent rapid rally, the Bitcoin price will likely take a breather before rising further towards the end of the year. At least that’s what Chris Thomas, Head of Digital Assets at Swissquote Bank, thinks.

In this regard, the analyst said:

The cryptocurrency could consolidate for a short period of time before continuing to rise until Christmas.

In fact, further notable gains seem unlikely in the short term, as the Bitcoin price has already seen a 60% increase from $ 9,800 to $ 15,900 in the past two months. Both the 14-day and 14-week Relative Strength Indexes are well above 70, indicating overbought conditions and scope for consolidation or a small decline.

Based on Thomas‘ comments, Patrick Heusser, Senior Cryptocurrency Trader at Zurich-based Crypto Broker AG, expects the Bitcoin price to consolidate in the range of $ 14,000 to $ 16,000 in the next few weeks. However, he assumes that the break will enable rally in the altcoins, most of which have lagged behind the Bitcoin price in the past two months.

Bitcoin course could also be heading for a major correction

Others see the whole thing a little less bullish. At least in the short term. Some analysts suspect that the Bitcoin course is heading for more than just consolidation. Joel Kruger, a currency strategist at LMAX Digital, said:

Bitcoin is overbought after breaking critical resistance at $ 14,000, which suggests we may see a period of correction and consolidation.

Historically, the Bitcoin price has seen several setbacks of over 20% in previous bull markets. A big drop is likely this time around, however, as liquidity on the sell side appears to have dried up due to increased institutional ownership and strong HODL sentiment among investors.

Bitcoin price of $ 20,000 this year?

While observers are divided on whether the Bitcoin price will consolidate or fall in the short term, there seems to be a consensus that the long-term outlook for BTC is extremely bullish. Some even expect a retest of the record high of $ 20,000 by the end of December.

Jehan Chu, co-founder and managing partner of Hong Kong-based trading firm Kenetic Capital, investor sentiment has never been better.

We expect short-term volatility alongside even stronger uptrends, flirting with $ 20,000 before the end of the year and, if the stars are favorable, $ 50,000-80,000 by the end of 2021.

Thomas from Swissquote also expects a weaker dollar and political uncertainty in the US, which will play into the hands of the Bitcoin price in the long term.

All in all, BTC is likely to maintain its general uptrend. Kruger also believes that the Bitcoin course still has immense upside potential:

Look for the market to establish above $ 20,000 in 2021 before the next major upward widening into the $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 range.
