Crypto Trader Lark Davis Lists Top Six Altcoins To Buy in March

img-ads

Crypto trader and influencer Lark Davis is naming six altcoins that he says have the potential to be big movers in March.

In a new video, Davis tells his 224,000 YouTube subscribers that he’s keeping a close watch on Cardano (ADA) as the third-largest crypto asset is poised to continue its meteoric ascent.

“The big news for Cardano is the Mary hard fork will be rolled out to the mainnet on March 1st. Now this hard fork will help Cardano take the next steps [to] becoming a fully functional ecosystem. We’re going to see tokens finally being implemented. We’re going to see smart contracts on the main chain. This is the first step towards making that happen.” 

The next coin on Davis’ list is Kusama (KSM), which the crypto trader refers to as “Polkadot’s (DOT) little brother.”

“Parachain auctions are coming soon to the Polkadot ecosystem and the first stop is Kusama… We do know that they’re coming very soon and that parachains will be happening first on Kusama and then happening on Polkadot after that. Kusama has been rallying super hard for the last few months now. I fully expect it to continue to rally much harder in anticipation of the first parachain auctions.”

The third coin to keep an eye on, says Davis, is Litecoin (LTC) as it gears up to launch the MimbleWimble privacy upgrade.

“MimbleWimble is a pretty big deal since it’s going to bring privacy to Litecoin. It will be the biggest update for crypto’s silver in the last few years.”

Coming in at number four is blockchain scaling solution Polygon (MATIC).

“With Ethereum 2.0 basically nowhere in sight, it will really come down to layer-two scaling solutions to pick up the slack from here on out and there’s no bigger and no more important layer-two scaling solution than Polygon.”

At number five is decentralized derivatives exchange Injective Protocol (INJ).

“It’s a fully decentralized layer-two exchange, low fees, high speed, all the stuff you want in a decentralized exchange. Allowing you to trade any markets in and out of crypto, Injective has absolutely been smashing it with big partnerships left, right and center, teaming up with Avalanche (AVAX), Marlin (POND), Ocean, Unilend (UFT)… It’s also introduced in the last few weeks, forex markets as well as stock trading, so bringing in those derivatives markets.”

The last coin on Davis’ radar is decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap (UNI).

 “Uniswap has been cooking up v3 in the development kitchen for a long time now… It’s getting more and more likely by the day that we’re going to get an announcement about Uniswap v3 coming out, which will mean two very, very key things for the UNI token. One is that fees will be shared with token holders, which at the current daily volume of like a billion dollars a day in volume on Uniswap, that could be a pretty lucrative token to hold. 

And the second thing that it means for Uniswap and perhaps the most important part of Uniswap v3 is that it’s going to include layer-two scaling… Layer-two scaling should bring the fees to use Uniswap from the current $50, $60 per trade which is like ludicrous, to like a cent per trade in gas fees. It will be game changing.”

Here’s how the Purpose Bitcoin ETF differs from Grayscale’s GBTC Trust

Since 2017, investors have been anxiously awaiting a Bitcoin ETF approval as the existence of such a fund was an important symbol of mass adoption and acceptance from the realm of traditional finance. 

On Feb. 18, the Toronto Stock Exchange hosted the official launch of the Purpose Bitcoin ETF and the fund quickly absorbed more than $333 million in market capitalization in just two days.

Now that the long-awaited Bitcoin ETF is here, investors are curious about how it will compete with Grayscale Investments GBTC fund. On Feb. 17, Ark Investment Management founder and CEO Cathie Wood said the likelihood that U.S. regulators will approve a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund has gone up.

Although exchange-traded funds (ETF) and exchange-traded notes (ETN) sound quite similar, there are fundamental differences in trading, risks, and taxation.

An ETF is a security type that holds underlying investments such as commodities,…

Top 5 cryptocurrencies to watch this week: BTC, BNB, DOT, XEM, MIOTA

Bitcoin (BTC) price has been correcting in the past few days and traders are curious to know whether this is a minor pullback or the start of a deeper decline. The problem is that no one has a crystal ball and analysts can only point to critical support levels that may hold based on historical data and evidence. 

However, in a bear phase, the price tends to slip below key support levels as traders panic and sell out of fear, similar to how the price exceeds the upside targets during a bull run as traders buy due to FOMO.

March has historically been a weak month for Bitcoin, which suggests seasonal traders may prefer to wait and watch rather than jump to buy on dips. This lack of demand may be one of the reasons for the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust premium dipping into the…

Google Finance adds dedicated ‘crypto’ tab featuring Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin

Google Finance has added crypto prices to the finance.google.com domain. The section, titled “Crypto,” now appears in the “Compare Markets” category alongside conventional stock and currency markets. The section provides key pricing information for various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Google Finance users can now track the performance of various cryptocurrencies in just one click.

Google’s parent, Alphabet, also owns video platform YouTube — which has consistently irked crypto users by banning educational and news content, often seemingly at random. Cointelegraph and CoinDesk, the two largest publications in the crypto news space, have both been subject to suspensions that have subsequently been overturned after the video streaming platform confirmed they were not in violation of YouTube’s terms of service.

The cryptocurrency market has attracted mainstream attention over the past year, as institutional investors and corporations have…

NBA Top Shot leads NFT explosion with $230M in sales

Dapper Labs, the creator of the CryptoKitties game, is helping the National Basketball Association, or NBA, become a magnet for digital collectibles. 

NBA Top Shot, a marketplace for non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, has generated over $230 million in sales, according to Dapper Labs. NBA Top Shot is built on Dapper’s Flow blockchain, allowing users to purchase “packs” that feature in-game moments. With packs almost always sold out, a secondary marketplace is the only way for users to access specific moments.

Recently, a LeBron James highlight sold for $200,000. A Zion Williamson spotlight sold for around the same amount.

NFTs, which exist entirely on the blockchain, are revolutionizing the traditional model of trading cards. In the case of NFTs, the value of a particular moment is governed by the same laws of supply and demand, though ownership is entirely digital. The blockchain also…

OLB Group enables crypto payments for thousands of US merchants

OLB Group (OLB), a New York-based e-commerce merchant service provider, is making it easier for businesses to accept cryptocurrency payments.

OLB’s more than 8,500 merchants are now able to accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC and DAI at the point-of-sale through the company’s OmniSoft business management platform. Customers wishing to pay with cryptocurrency in-store or through their mobile phones can simply elect to do so with their cryptocurrency wallets. All payments are processed through SecurePay, a payment gateway that authenticates the transaction, converts the cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars and approves the final sale.

The decision to integrate cryptocurrency payments was partly driven by the growth of contactless and online orders during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the OmniSoft platform already providing merchants with several options to facilitate payments, cryptocurrencies were the next logical step. 

Ronny Yakov, OLB Group’s CEO, says the payment gateway and point-of-sale architecture are “familiar territory for…

Transparent stablecoins? Conclusion of Tether vs. NYAG raises new questions

A long-standing legal drama finally found resolution on Feb. 23, with the New York Attorney General’s office announcing that it had come to a settlement with cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex after a 22-month inquiry into whether the company had been trying to cover up its losses — touted to be worth $850 million — by misrepresenting the degree to which its Tether (USDT) reserves were backed by fiat collateral.

According to the terms of the announced settlement, which now marks an end to the inquiry that was initiated by the NYAG back in Q1 2019, Bitfinex and Tether will pay the government body a fixed sum of $18.5 million but will not be required to admit to any wrongdoing. That being said, the settlement clearly states that henceforth, Bitfinex and Tether can no longer service customers in the state of New York.

Furthermore, over the course of the…
