Ebang, a publicly-listed company providing mining hardware for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), has officially announced the launch of its own crypto exchange.

According to an announcement on Monday, qualified investors will be soon able to register and trade on Ebang’s cryptocurrency exchange dubbed Ebonex.

Ebang CEO and chairman Dong Hu said, “In recent years we have made a considerable investment in R&D talent recruiting, as well as product innovation and iteration. The launch of our cryptocurrency exchange business will not only expand the revenue sources from our cryptocurrency business, but also optimize the development of our blockchain industry chain.” 

Ebonex supports major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether (ETH), as well as stablecoin Tether (USDT). Other supported coins include Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), Zcash (ZEC), Dash (DASH), Tezos (XTZ), EOS and Monero (XMR).

The exchange initially launched in an invite-only beta phase in mid-March.

The announcement did not mention which jurisdictions are eligible to trade on Ebang’s new crypto exchange. Ebang did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.

As previously reported by Cointelegraph, Ebang was listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker EBON in June 2020, becoming the second Bitcoin miner manufacturer to go public on a United States stock exchange after Chinese crypto mining firm Canaan.

Price analysis 4/5: BTC, ETH, BNB, DOT, ADA, XRP, UNI, LTC, LINK, THETA

BY

The total crypto market capitalization reached the important milestone of $2 trillion on April 5. As cryptocurrencies increase in value, they are likely to attract further investments from institutional investors because they can no longer afford to neglect it. 

Less than three months ago, the crypto market had reached the $1 trillion in market cap for the first time ever. This rate of growth shows that investors are hugely bullish on the potential of the sector and the ones who delay their investment decisions may have to enter at much higher levels.

Ark Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood is well known for identifying disruptive technologies and the firm is backing Bitcoin (BTC) to do just that. Yassine Elmandjra, a crypto asset analyst at Ark, said Bitcoin was “100 times better” than gold, hence he believes Bitcoin will rise 10-fold from the current market capitalization…

Roger Ver calls out GoDaddy for wrongly listing Bitcoin.com as ‘for sale’

BY

Bitcoin.com — a cryptocurrency news, mining and wallet resource — is not for sale, according to entrepreneur and site owner Roger Ver. 

On Monday, Bitcoin.com appeared as a “premium domain” available for purchase on GoDaddy, the world’s largest domain registrar, for a minimum price of $100 million.

The original sales listing of Bitcoin.com before it was removed by GoDaddy.

Ver contacted GoDaddy on Twitter and demanded that the listing be removed immediately,  saying:

“Please remove this fake news that is damaging my real brand.”

A screenshot of Ver’s Twitter messages to GoDaddy.com.

Ver, who has been an avid cryptocurrency investor since early 2011, also confirmed to Cointelegraph that the domain listing is “fake news, and perhaps even just another example of a dirty attack on BCH by BTC maximalists. Just like the time they flooded every Bitcoin.com email address with spam that has been going on to this…

New milestone reached as 100 cryptocurrencies reach a $1B market cap

BY

In the last two months, the number of cryptocurrencies with a $1 billion market cap has doubled since the last time Cointelegraph reported on the milestone. As things currently stand, there are 100 projects that have reached a $1 billion market capitalization.

Unicorns are typically privately held startup companies valued at more than $1 billion, but traditional finance is increasingly applying the term to high-value cryptocurrencies that institutions are only now gaining exposure to.

The entrance of institutional investors into the cryptocurrency sector over the course of 2021 has been one of the driving forces of growth for the ecosystem as a whole as multi-billion dollar companies like Tesla, Square and MicroStrategy have converted a portion of their cash reserves into Bitcoin (BTC) and other top altcoins.

Ark Invest and JPMorgan expect Bitcoin to hit $130K-$470K

BY

JPMorgan expects Bitcoin (BTC) to reach $130,000, while Ark Invest anticipates the market valuation of BTC to surpass that of gold.

The optimistic macro prediction from both funds revolves around the scarcity of Bitcoin, which has buoyed its popularity as a safe-haven asset.

Why are both high-profile funds so optimistic in Bitcoin?

As Cointelegraph previously reported, the outlook of the U.S. dollar index is on the decline.

The fear of inflation and the increasing liquidity in the financial markets is causing reserve currencies, like the dollar, to depreciate.

Ark Invest, as an example, sees Bitcoin nearing $500,000 in the future considering that the fund expects it to surpass gold by market capitalization. Currently, the market cap of Bitcoin is roughly 10% of gold.

Global fashion brands reportedly considering NFT foray

BY

Fashion giants may be the next globally recognized brands to enter the expanding NFT metaverse.

According to Vogue Business, several premium fashion houses are moving closer to releasing their own nonfungible tokens.

The move follows the emerging trend of creating digital twins of products and services in the lifestyle and entertainment markets, such as art pieces, music, pop culture merchandise, among others.

Fashion NFTs for gaming and virtual reality is already a thing, with several companies creating digital clothing items for use in both metaverses. Earlier in the year, Enjin partnered with augmented reality platform MetaverseMe to deploy fashion NFTs for digital avatars on the latter’s platform.

Some retailers are also creating digital twins of real-life clothing items for sale on NFT platforms. Purchasing these fashion NFTs often grants the buyer access to the corresponding real-life apparel.

According to Marjorie Hernández, founder of blockchain multiverse platform Lukso,…
