Institutional adoption underscores urgency of clear crypto rules, says Hester Pierce

BY

As institutions move into the cryptocurrency space, the need for clear rules regarding digital assets is critical, an official at the Securities and Exchange Commission said.

SEC commissioner Hester Peirce believes that clear cryptocurrency rules are needed now more than ever due to firms like Tesla and Mastercard actively embracing the alternative asset class.

Peirce discussed the implications of institutional crypto adoption with Reuters on Saturday, following a series of massive crypto-related events in the last few weeks. After Elon Musk’s Tesla hinted at payments in Bitcoin (BTC), more companies including the United States’ oldest bank BNY Mellon and payment giant Mastercard announced plans to introduce crypto services as well.

“That adds to the urgency of us taking some sort of action in this area to provide more clarity,” the commissioner said. Widely referred to as “Crypto Mom” in the crypto community, Peirce has…

Dogecoin drops 23% as Elon Musk slams DOGE rich list

BY

The value of Dogecoin (DOGE) sunk 23% in a matter of hours on Feb. 15, after Elon Musk drew attention to the vastly unequal distribution of DOGE coins and urged major holders to sell off their holdings.

Dogecoin has one of the most unequal coin distributions in the cryptocurrency space, with 28.7% being held by just one person, and the top 12 holders possessing almost 50% of the supply. Just before midnight on Feb. 14, Musk tweeted:

“If major Dogecoin holders sell most of their coins, it will get my full support. Too much concentration is the only real issue imo.”

Little over seven hours later, the Dogecoin price had plunged 23%, from $0.063 to $0.048. While Musk’s tweets have previously been credited with moving cryptocurrency prices, not least Dogecoin, his role in Monday’s drop was less clear given that over $105 billion departed the rest…

$50K and BTC’s biggest weekly candle ever: 5 things to watch in Bitcoin this week

BY

Bitcoin (BTC) is riding high on a wave of positive sentiment as it prepares to take on $50,000.

After a volatile weekend which saw a new all-time high, expectations are putting Bitcoin back in the spotlight as a fundamental level comes into play — what’s in store?

Cointelegraph considers five factors which could serve to move the market in the coming days.

Stocks gain while the dollar dives

Stocks are climbing, building on a record-breaking rally which has seen many indexes already shoot higher than ever.

Despite warnings that the good times may soon end, including from Warren Buffett’s market indicator last week, markets began Monday in the green.

Japan’s Nikkei touched 30,000 points for the first time since 1990 on 1.6% growth.

Happy Bull’s Year, North Korean Hackers!

BY

In this episode, Anna Baydakova and Danny Nelson discuss North Korea reportedly stealing your crypto to create nuclear weapons, Tesla rattling markets at an opportune time and Nigeria trying to ban crypto.

Starting Feb. 12, in the Chinese calendar, we are in the year of the ox, or bull; at least for now, things are looking quite bullish for crypto. Usually, Chinese users would massively sell bitcoin ahead of the New Year but the current rally is being mostly driven by institutions, not retail buyers in Asia. So it looks like the “To the Moon” show must go on!

A United Nations expert panel said North Korea used the money it extorted by cyber attacks to fund nuclear weapons development. The panel said that according to its investigations, North Korean regime-linked hackers worked all…

USDT-settled futures contracts are gaining popularity, here’s why

BY

When BitMEX launched its Bitcoin (BTC) perpetual futures market in 2016, it created a new paradigm for cryptocurrency traders. Although this was not the first platform to offer BTC-settled inverse swaps, BitMEX brought usability and liquidity to a broader audience of investors.

BitMEX contracts did not involve fiat or stablecoins and even though the reference price was calculated in USD all profits and losses were paid in BTC.

Fast forward to 2021, and the Tether (USDT) settled contracts have gained relevance. Using USDT-based contracts certainly makes it easier for retail investors to calculate their profit, loss and the required margin required but they also have disadvantages.

Why BTC-settled contracts are for more experienced traders

Binance offers coin-margined (BTC-settled) contracts and in this case, instead of relying on USDT margin, the buyer (long) and the seller (short) are required to deposit BTC as margin.

Bitcoin’s Coinbase premium turned negative. Here’s what it means for BTC price

BY

Bitcoin’s (BTC) definitive breakout above $50,000 may have to wait longer to materialize as spot buying pressure on Coinbase Pro shows signs of weakening — at least, in the short term. 

The Coinbase Premium Index, which measures the gap between the BTC price on Coinbase Pro and Binance, has flipped negative, according to CryptoQuant. In other words, selling pressure on Coinbase appears to be strengthening compared with other exchanges like Binance.

A negative reading on the Coinbase Premium Index could be a precursor to short-term resistance. On the other hand, when the premium is high, it indicates strong spot buying pressure on Coinbase.

Based on the index, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju believes topping $50,000 “looks pretty tough” in the near term.
