Three altcoins could be poised for a surprise bump after receiving support from top crypto exchange Coinbase.

In a new blog post, Coinbase reveals that its users can now deposit Polygon (MATIC), Skale Network (SKL), and SushiSwap (SUSHI) into their Coinbase Pro accounts.

Support for the three crypto assets will be available in all supported jurisdictions with the exception of SUSHI, which will not be supported in the state of New York. Trading will begin on March 11th, on or after 9:00 a.m Pacific time once liquidity conditions are met.

Following Coinbase’s announcement, all three crypto assets began trading in green territory.

Skale Network (SKL), a blockchain protocol that allows developers to create and provide decentralized chains that are completely compatible with Ethereum (ETH), is in the midst of a massive rally. At time of writing, the altcoin is currently up over 84% in the last 24 hours according to CoinGecko.

Blockchain scaling solution Polygon is also on the up and up after printing gains of nearly 49% in the same timeframe.

Decentralized exchange SushiSwap is starting to generate momentum as it is up 8% in the last 24 hours.

Coinbase highlights that MATIC, SKL, and SUSHI are only available on Coinbase Pro. The crypto exchange notes that it will make a separate announcement should it decide to list the three altcoins on Coinbase.com.

Prior to the abrupt listing of MATIC, SKL, and SUSHI, Coinbase took a lengthy pause in adding coins to its roster of supported digital assets amid a crypto bull market. In December, Coinbase listed cross-chain cryptocurrency conversion protocol Bancor (BNT), derivatives liquidity and trading protocol Synthetix (SNX), and decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform Aave.

Crypto platform FalconX raises $50M on the back of institutional adoption

BY

FalconX, a cryptocurrency exchange focused on institutional investors, has raised $50 million from Tiger Global and B Capital Group — highlighting once again that digital assets are becoming more mainstream. 

FalconX didn’t specify how the funds would be deployed, but if it’s anything like previous fundraisers, the money will likely go towards business development.

FalconX raised $17 million in May 2020 to finance several growth initiatives, including adding new infrastructure and expanding its product offerings. At the time, FalconX told Cointelegraph that it uses data science to provide a more competitive trading environment for professional investors. 

In addition to Tiger Global and B Capital Group, FalconX is backed by major players like Accel, Coinbase Ventures and Avon Ventures, a venture capital firm with ties to Fidelity Investments via FMR LLC.

Scott Shleifer, a partner at Tiger Capital, described FalconX as a potential “industry leader in the…

IoTeX (IOTX) rallies 300% after DeFi and Amazon Web Services integration

BY

As mobile devices, cost and the ease of accessing the internet becomes less of a challenge for people across the world, the value of data has become a new highly desired commodity.

Governments and companies utilize customer and user data for a vast array of purposes and this has placed added emphasis on how data is collected, priced and of course, there are also privacy concerns regarding how personal data is obtained. 

Currently, there are several blockchain projects focused on organizing data and enabling users to have more control over what data they elect to share and monetizing some of the profits generated from data collection. 

IoTeX (IOTX) is one such project that has been gaining traction over the past five weeks. The project aims to solve the issues of scalability, privacy and the high operating costs currently limiting the mass adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.

Too little, too late? Ethereum losing DeFi ground to rival blockchains

BY

2021 has been a great year for Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto in general. However, Ethereum and the decentralized finance, or DeFi, sector have outshined other niches of the cryptocurrency space, dazzling the community with enormous growth in terms of popularity, engagement and sheer volume, with the total value locked currently sitting at around $56 billion, according to DappRadar.

The nonfungible token, or NFT, space is also seeing unprecedented growth. Many believe 2021 is shaping up to be the year of NFTs. However, DeFi continues to thrive, especially on the Ethereum blockchain where developer and user activity surpasses that of any other blockchain.

However, it’s no secret that Ethereum is currently at a decisive point. Congestion and high gas fees are plaguing the network and making decentralized exchanges, or DEXes, almost impossible to afford for common users who want to make small to medium-sized…

Storming the ‘last bastion’: Angst and anger as NFTs claim high-culture status

BY

It’s as immutable as a transaction on the blockchain: Nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, have permanently made their mark on art history. While the movement has some members of the arterati swooning at the notion of unwashed digital hordes laying siege to their domain, the reality is that the two worlds of high art and crypto are fated to become one and the same. 

You might not have heard of Mike Winkelmann, but at least one art icon is ready to say he could rank up there with Pablo Picasso. The 39-year-old artist better known as “Beeple” has successfully forced his way into over a half-dozen different encyclopedia entries today after the sale of a career retrospective collage, “The First 5000 Days,” was auctioned off in the form of an NFT for a staggering $69.3 million.
