A prominent trader who built his following after accurately nailing Bitcoin’s collapse to $4,000 in March 2020 says that Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB) are primed to outshine Bitcoin in the coming months.

In a new tweet, the analyst known in the industry as Capo says that while BTC is grabbing headlines, his money is in Ethereum.

“Here is my bet: ETH will outperform BTC this year. By far. ETH is my second biggest bag. That’s enough bet.”

According to the crypto strategist, Ethereum is positioning to print gains of over 194% against Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) from its current value of 0.034.

Capo takes his analysis further by showing how ETH has been in a strong and steady uptrend against Bitcoin in the last 16 months.

“I see many jokes about ETH. The truth is that it has been trending up against BTC since September 2019 and each impulse is stronger than the last…”

Capo is also long-term bullish on Binance Coin against Bitcoin (BNB/BTC). Although he expects the pair to correct in the short term, he sees BNB/BTC building support above 0.0025 before surging to 0.02 by the end of the year.

In addition, Capo is keeping a close watch on four crypto assets that he expects to erupt this bull cycle. He believes Chainlink (LINK) has the potential to increase over 194% after it held support of $15.

The trader adds that it is “inevitable” for Syntropy (NOIA) to hit $2, the Sandbox (SAND) to soar to $1, and Litentry to surge to $30.

3 reasons Bitcoin price is quickly recovering from its ‘severe’ 23% correction

BY

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) quickly recovered from around $44,800 to over $50,000 within merely 22 hours. 

Behind the rapid recovery are three major factors, including low funding rates, Square’s $170 million Bitcoin purchase, and the spot market stabilizing.

Bitcoin futures funding rates substantially drop

Across major futures exchanges, including Binance, Bybit and Bitfinex, the funding rate of Bitcoin has dropped to 0.01%.

The Bitcoin futures funding rate was consistently above 0.1% throughout the entirety of the rally from the $40,000s to $58,000.

When the futures funding rate is high, it means the market is overcrowded with buyers and the rally likely overextended.

This creates a major risk of a long squeeze, which can cause the price of Bitcoin to drop quickly in a short period.

With the funding rate back to 0.01%, the risk of a long squeeze is significantly lower and if a new…

Hedera makes inroads in Africa as Standard Bank Group becomes node operator

BY

Standard Bank Group — Africa’s largest bank by assets — has partnered with enterprise-grade distributed ledger technology project Hedera Hashgraph.

According to a joint announcement, the African banking giant now joins other major corporations like Google, LG, and IBM as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.

Standard Bank will also become a Hedera node operator, the first in Africa with a focus on utilizing DLT to ease bottlenecks in cross-border trade on the continent.

Across Africa, innovations in domestic payment rails have created faster and efficient transaction systems. However, this advancement is yet to translate to the cross-border payment transaction scene with stablecoins already identified as having the potential to solve these issues.

For Ian Putter, head of DLT and blockchain at Standard Bank Group, the partnership with Hedera is part of the bank’s focus on utilizing decentralized technology to improve cross-border trade in Africa.

Putter told Cointelegraph that the bank…

US judge dismisses crypto fraud case against BNT token issuer

BY

A federal district court in the United States has dismissed a securities fraud class action against Israel-based cryptocurrency firm Bancor.

U.S. district judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled on Monday to dismiss a case against Bancor, stating that plaintiffs had failed to allege losses as well as citing lack of personal jurisdiction. The judge has also canceled an oral argument scheduled for March 4, 2021, entering judgment in favor of the defendants.

The case was brought by New York law firms Roche Cyrulnik Freedman and Selendy & Gay in April 2020, alleging that the Bancor protocol developer, BProtocol Foundation, violated federal and state securities laws in the U.S. by selling unregistered securities.

According to a filing seen by Cointelegraph, the court found that activities promoting the BNT token were not sufficient to give the court jurisdiction over the BProtocol Foundation. “The Court lacks personal or specific jurisdiction over the Defendants,…

According to Bloomberg, RBI governor Shaktikanta Das has expressed the central bank’s determination to create a digital rupee. According to Das, India’s central bank is “very much in the game” and wants to emulate China’s digital currency electronic project, the digital yuan.
