This Small-Cap Altcoin Is One of the Most Promising Projects of 2021, According to Coin Bureau

The pseudonymous host of Coin Bureau says he is particularly bullish on one low-cap altcoin.

In a new video, the analyst and trader tells his 435,000 subscribers that he believes Litentry (LIT), an identity aggregation protocol, has remarkable growth potential.

“When I’m out hunting for small-cap altcoin gems, there are a number of things that I look for, factors that when brought together will substantially increase the chance that the pick will be bang on the money.

Now these include factors such as solving a pressing problem, being one of the first to do it, while being built in a less saturated ecosystem that has a well-supported token. And one of the most promising projects that I’ve recently found that meets these criteria is Litentry.”

LIT, the 186th-ranked crypto asset by market cap, is trading at $8.69 at time of writing, down 23.7% in the past seven days, according to CoinGecko. The protocol is built on Substrate and designed to perform “decentralized identifier (DID) aggregation, verification, and credit calculation/grading,” according to the project’s Lite Paper.

Says the Coin Bureau analyst,

“What really drew me to Litentry was the problem that they’re solving in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. I had not seen or heard about a project that was offering similar identity-based verifications in any ecosystem.

Being able to verify the unique identity of wallet addresses is the missing key to DeFi, offering many of the other services that centralized finance relies on.”

He’s particularly bullish on the project because it’s building towards an association with Polkadot.

“You have to consider that it’s a project that will be launched as a parachain on Polkadot. You only have to take a look at some of the excitement around Polkadot-based projects to get a sense of how much untapped demand there is here.

There is growing sense that DeFi tokens based on Polkadot could see similar price appreciation to those we saw in the Ethereum ecosystem back in 2020. Whether you believe that or not is irrelevant. As long as the market believes that, price momentum is likely to pick up.”

Professional traders need a global crypto sea, not hundreds of lakes

Coinbase’s IPO announcement has been hailed as “a milestone for the crypto industry” by Fortune Magazine. Similar to the Netscape IPO announcement that signaled the legitimacy of the internet, Coinbase’s impending public offering signals to the public at large that cryptocurrency trading is legitimate, legal and secure in the eyes of the Securities and Exchange Commission. And now, investors have an opportunity to own stock on the largest crypto trading platform in the United States.

As a result, many see an investment in Coinbase as an investment in the future of crypto trading. It is the highest volume U.S. crypto exchange, with three times the volume of its next closest U.S. competitor. The largest of anything in the U.S. must be the world leader. Except, it’s not. And conventional wisdom and current market realities are very far apart.

Inverse Finance seizes tokens, ships code: Launches stablecoin lending protocol

Shortly after culling its community of inactive members, one of decentralized finance’s (DeFi) strangest experiments is launching a new stablecoin lending product.

On Wednesday Inverse Finance revealed the Anchor Protocol, a money market built around DOLA, a protocol-native synthetic stablecoin. Based on “a modified fork of Compound,” in a blog post Inverse Finance founder Nour Haridy compares Anchor to Synthetix, which issues credit in the form of synthetic assets back by overleveraged collateral, and Compound, which issues credit in the form of crypto asset loans also backed by overleveraged collateral.

Ultimately, Haridy sees these models as providing the same utility.

“Lending and synthetic protocols both offer the same service: credit. Anchor brings the gap between them by combining them into a unified borrowing protocol.”

Anchor aims to accomplish this with a unique architecture that always treats the DOLA token as “$1 collateral that can…

3 reasons why Reef Finance, Bridge Mutual and Morpheus Network are rallying

As new institutional and retail investors enter the cryptocurrency space on a daily basis, large-cap top performers like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) attract the lion’s share of investor’s attention as they are the well-known ‘secure’ blockchain projects. 

Once these new investors get a taste of the mainstay cryptocurrencies and how to navigate the volatile markets, their attention soon turns to smaller cap coins as they search for the up-and-coming projects that could be the next big thing.

Currently, CoinMarketCap shows that there are 8,475 tokens and more are added daily. This makes it difficult to keep up with the latest developments and find solid projects with real-world potential.

With that in mind, here are some interesting projects that have been gaining strength over the past few weeks.

Increasing stock market volatility drags Bitcoin and altcoin prices lower

Bitcoin has had an exceptionally trying week, and it doesn’t bode well for March — a month that’s traditionally bearish for the world’s biggest cryptocurrency.

After hitting record highs of $58,300 last Sunday, Bitcoin suffered a dramatic reversal of fortunes — crashing to $46,000 on Tuesday. Elon Musk might not have helped matters… in the run-up to the correction, he had tweeted that BTC and ETH seemed high.

Analysts and investors alike breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday when Bitcoin managed to retake $50,000 — with some proclaiming…

This bullish Bitcoin options strategy lets traders speculate on BTC price with less risk

Historical data shows that it is nearly impossible to consistently predict Bitcoin’s price action and many traders that attempt this end up losing money. Now that Bitcoin trades near $50,000, the ultimate goal for most traders is to hold on to their current holdings and incrementally add to them in a way that is not terribly risky. 

Options strategies provide excellent opportunities for traders who have a fixed-range target for an asset. For example, using leveraged futures contracts might be a solution for a scenario where one expects a price increase of up to 28% over the next month. Of course, using a tight stop loss lessens the viability of the trade.

On the other hand, using multiple call (buy) options can create a strategy that allows gains that are four times higher than the potential loss. These can be used in both bullish and bearish circumstances, depending on the investors’…

Economist warns of dystopia if ‘Bitcoin Aristocrats’ become reality

Not everyone is excited about hyperbitcoinization. 

According to a popular copy/paste meme, Bitcoin holders are set to become a neo-aristocracy as Bitcoin becomes the dominant world currency:

The meme is part of a larger vision for Bitcoin’s future, a semi-serious but mostly tongue-in-cheek narrative that can be lumped under the “Bitcoin Citadels” umbrella: a vision of the future in which Bitcoin becomes so valuable that hodlers become lords quite literally defending their coins in castles. 

Originating from a Reddit post written by someone claiming to be a time traveler (they called for a $1 million…
