This Highly Misunderstood Altcoin Is Set To Explode, Says Crypto Trader Tyler Swope

Crypto influencer and analyst Tyler Swope says one highly misunderstood altcoin is set to erupt as the markets begin to understand its potential.

In a new video, Swope tells his 198,000 YouTube subscribers that he’s watching NFT20 and its governance token MUSE.

According to the crypto strategist, NFT20 is the Uniswap (UNI) for NFTs (non-fungible tokens).

“They have shipped the products [but] the markets just haven’t fully understood what they’re building yet, kind of like Uniswap in its early days, which would make sense. Uniswap is an NFT storefront hiding in plain sight. It just needed a little reworking and that is exactly what NFT20 did.” 

NFT20 is an under-the-radar permissionless protocol that allows users to trade, swap, and sell their NFTs. The project also comes with features that enable users to create pools of tokenized NFTs and dutch auctions.

Swope says NFT20 offers a use case that can potentially open the floodgates and allow capital to flow into the nascent space.

“They are a decentralized exchange and protocol for tokenizing NFT projects as ERC20 tokens to make them tradeable on DEXs such as Uniswap or Sushiswap. By creating a secondary market of ERC20 derivatives of NFTs, NFT20 hopes to address the liquidity problem in the NFT space.”

Although the crypto trader notes that volume in NFT20 as a DEX is still quite low, he believes it is poised to follow the footsteps of Uniswap and eventually process over $1 billion in volume per day.

 “A similar story is going to happen in my opinion to NFT20. Why? Well at first, lower value NFTs will be deposited to these pools, as people will just want to get some monetary value for some of the more ‘worthless NFTs’ they hodl. Initially, this will create an average price per NFT per project due to arbitrage between NFT markets like OpenSea and Uniswap. It creates the NFT liquidity and average market prices everyone has been waiting for.”

NFTs feature identifying data in their smart contracts that make each asset one of a kind, which means that one NFT cannot be directly replaced by another and no two are alike.

At time of writing, NFT20’s governance token MUSE is trading at $66.71 with a market capitalization of $34.4 million, according to CoinGecko.

Investor Dan Loeb doing ‘deep dive’ into crypto

Dan Loeb, CEO of New York-based asset management firm Third Point and a well-known figure on Wall Street, has said he is looking into ways to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the crypto space.

In a series of tweets to his followers on Monday, Loeb said he had been “doing a deep dive into crypto,” referencing a recent article on nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, from Chris Dixon, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz. Dixon described the ways NFTs could change the economics of content creators — namely that the technology allows them “a new way to take the money.” 

Though Loeb called the crypto space “a real test of being intellectually open to new and controversial ideas,” he said he was still maintaining a healthy level of skepticism.

“Culturally I compare bridging the crypto world with the old as akin to finding…

Ethereum and DeFi are forcing smart contract platforms to evolve

The decentralized finance movement was a ticking time bomb waiting to detonate when it finally exploded in 2020. From automated market makers to the industry’s current obsession with liquidity mining, DeFi has grown leaps and bounds over the last year.

Most decentralized finance applications are deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, bringing billions of dollars onto the network and pushing it to its maximum operational threshold. While the capabilities of the underlying network may seem like the only thing holding DeFi back, Ethereum isn’t slacking either.

As Ethereum 2.0 gears up for its transition, there’s a lot in store for 2021. Both DeFi and Ether (ETH) have been doing exceptionally well, with the native Ethereum token recently retracing its all-time high and even reaching a $2,000 valuation.

While some vocal community members believe this pump is the result of a bubble similar to the initial coin offering boom of 2017, there…

Tezos gets new oracle through Wolfram Blockchain Labs integration

Wolfram Blockchain Labs, the cryptocurrency-centric division of popular computing engine provider Wolfram Alpha, is adding support for Tezos on its platform, providing a two-way interface with the blockchain.

Announced on Monday, the integration adds support for Tezos blockchain data within the Wolfram Language, which allows developers to obtain analytical data from the blockchain. The language specializes in advanced statistical queries that analyze smart contract activity, and the integration primarily aims to ease the deployment of smart contracts on Tezos.

In addition, Wolfram Blockchain has developed an oracle for Tezos that would supply its smart contracts with data available from Wolfram Alpha. The data also includes the pricing of assets, one of the primary use cases for oracles today. This would make Wolfram the third oracle provider on the network, following Chainlink and Harbinger, a Tezos-native solution.

Wolfram Blockchain collaborated with TQ Tezos, one of Tezos’ ecosystem development companies, for the…
