Crypto Trader Lark Davis Says Four Crypto Assets Built on Polkadot Could Skyrocket 100x

Crypto analyst and influencer Lark Davis is pulling back the curtain on four Polkadot-based crypto assets that he believes have the potential to generate 100x returns to investors.

In a new video, Davis tells his 219,000 subscribers that he’s looking at a new project that could be the Chainlink (LINK) of Polkadot.

“Kylin is an oracle and data services provider, particularly they’ve got a big focus on providing those services to Polkadot’s parachains. It will give access to both on-chain and off-chain market data via the Kylin oracles as well as having advanced data analytics features. It’s also going to offer a data marketplace, where data can be monetized and traded.”

The second coin on Davis’ radar is Polkadex, a decentralized exchanged being built on Polkadot.

“Their testnet is currently live. It is clocking in around 300 transactions per second. For reference, Uniswap can do like 15 transactions per second since that is the maximum transaction capacity for Ethereum right now. The plan for Polkadex is 20,000 transactions per second in the long run so they’re working on that technology right now. They’re currently building it. It’s code-named Pebble, the technology that they’re working on.”

Davis adds that Polkadex has teamed up with Snowfork, which is a two-way bridge that connects the Ethereum (ETH) and Polkadot ecosystems, to help bring any token into the Polkadot-based DEX. The crypto analyst also highlights that Polkadex could be the top exchange on Polkadot because it has the early mover advantage.

The third coin on Davis’ list is Fractal, a new platform that specializes in personal privacy online.

“They’re creating an open-source standard for exchanging user data in a fair way. This company has been working since 2017 on data and decentralized identities so they’re very experienced in the game. They’re also a close partner with Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), which is one of the biggest Polkadot-based data markets. They’re also working with Polkadex…

What we’re talking about here is the future internet, web 3.0, where users not mega corporations are actually in charge of their data.”

The last coin that Davis says to watch out for is Moonbeam, which he believes to be a “massively bullish project.”

“It’s working on creating the multi-chain future and will be a parachain that’s going to be fully compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. This is massive because making an effective bridge between Polkadot and Ethereum will allow Polkadot to easily tap into Ethereum’s incredibly deep liquidity across the DeFi (decentralized finance) and all that stuff with a lot of ease. This is inteded to be the easiest on-ramp into the Polkadot ecosystem.

We’re talking about a fully Etherem compatible environment but built on Polkadot.”

Bank of Korea chief says crypto has no intrinsic value, expects volatility

Amid a major downward correction in the cryptocurrency market, the head of South Korea’s central bank is skeptical about digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC).

Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju-yeol said that crypto assets like Bitcoin have no intrinsic value, local news agency Yonhap reports Tuesday. The official said that he expects more price swings on the market, stating, “It is very difficult to predict the price, but its price will be extremely volatile.”

Speaking at the National Assembly, Lee also addressed possible reasons behind the recent sharp crypto rally, which led Bitcoin to become a $1 trillion asset. The BOK governor cited a number of factors including global concerns over excessive inflation, growing institutional interest, as well as a massive $1.5 billion Bitcoin purchase by Elon Musk’s Tesla.

“These assets saw a steep rise in the shortest period of time,” Lee stated. “I would…

Whale who sold Bitcoin before 2020 crash cashed out $156M before this week’s 20% dip

Bitcoin (BTC) lost 20% in a day partly thanks to the actions of a single whale, new research suggests. 

Data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment on Feb. 23 showed that BTC/USD dipped to $47,400 after Bitcoin’s second-largest transaction of 2021 took place.

Ghost of Bitcoin sell-offs past returns

The transaction, 2,700 BTC worth $156.6 million at $58,000 per token, resulted in a sale which piled pressure on the market, this snowballing into the largest one-hour candle in Bitcoin’s history.

“As we noted yesterday, there was an 11x exchange inflow spike that initiated #Bitcoin’s price correction from its $58.3k #ATH,” Santiment wrote in accompanying comments on Twitter.

“Further data combing revealed that an address was responsible for the 2nd largest $BTC transaction of the year, an import of 2,700 tokens to the wallet before a quick sell-off.”

Solana-powered AMM Raydium proposes SushiSwap integration to reduce fees

Major decentralized exchange SushiSwap is the latest to consider action to mitigate Ethereum’s extreme transaction fees, and it involves a potential port to the Solana blockchain.

A proposal, which was posted to the SushiSwap forum on Feb. 22 under the codename ‘Bonsai,’ suggests building out the platform on the Solana ecosystem. The integration is intended to mitigate Ethereum’s skyrocketing transaction fees, which have spiked to new all-time highs over the past 24 hours.

The proposal would involve integrating SushiSwap with Raydium’s platform, with the Solana-based automated market maker having launched on Feb. 21.

The proposal’s author, “Handroll,” notes Raydium already features support for SushiSwap’s liquidity pools:”

“We have been working on Raydium’s AMM and liquidity pool protocols since the fall of 2020 and have just launched on our platform […] Raydium’s protocol is already able to support SushiSwap liquidity pools for the Serum orderbook.”

$24 million lost in second-largest day of DeFi liquidations

The Feb. 22 crypto crash has sparked the second-largest volume of DeFi liquidations in the sector’s history, with more than $24.1 million worth of loans being forcefully closed within 24 hours.

According to crypto data aggregator DeBank, $13.7 million, or nearly 60% of the losses occurred on Compound, followed by Aave with $5.4 million worth of liquidations.

Yesterday’s liquidations were the second-largest to hit DeFi, trailing behind the $93 million in margin calls that were triggered by a sudden increase in the price of DAI on Nov. 26. 2020. The incident saw DAI spike by 30% on Coinbase Pro — the source of Compound’s price oracle — liquidating more than $88 million worth of crypto loan collateral on the protocol.

DeBank also reported a decline in total value locked from $44.5 billion to $38.8 billion over the past 24 hours. The 12.8% decline marks the largest single daily…

Crypto influencer warns Ethereum fees will drive users away

Prominent crypto influencer Lark Davis, or “The Crypto Lark,” has warned that Ethereum’s competitors will continue to syphon away users should Eth2 fail to launch soon amid ever-increasing gas fees.

Despite predicting five-figure Ether prices in 2021, Davis’ Feb. 19 video, Davis asserts Ethereum’s skyrocketing fees has meant that only “rich investors” can afford to the network, prompting smaller users to switch to competitors like Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

Davis noted BSC is currently enjoying a surge in popularity, with volumes for BSC-based DApps catching up to their Ethereum-based rivals.

Describing the current gas fees prices as “totally loco,” Davis urged Ethereum’s developers to expedite the launch of Eth2 in response to the skyrocketing to prevent a further exodus of users to cheaper alternatives:

“But we’re now to the point where ETH 1.0 – oh we need ETH 2.0 so soon, come on Vitalik, get it going, man –…

Kraken users demand refunds over flash-crash liquidations

Kraken users are demanding compensation after violent flash crashes localized to the exchange resulted in leveraged trades being liquidated amid the sharp retracements recorded across the crypto markets on Feb. 22.

Feb. 22 saw the single largest daily candle in the history of both Bitcoin and Ethereum by linear value, with BTC dropping around $9,500 from $57,500, while ETH plummeted by $400 from $1,940 within the span of 24 hours on Coinbase.

However, it appears that a combination of weak buy support and cascading liquidations resulted in particularly heavy losses on Kraken — with BTC falling 22% to less than $45,000 while ETH declined 64% to find support at just $700.

The public reaction on subreddit r/Krakensupport has seen many traders voice their frustrations. Some traders are even threatening to organize legal action against the exchange, with Reddit-user “dtk6802” claiming to have lost the majority of their…
