Top Analyst Predicts Two Altcoins Will Outperform the Rest As Bitcoin and Crypto Markets Recover

BY

A popular crypto trader and analyst is naming two altcoins he thinks have the most potential for upward moves as the market recovers.

The pseudonymous analyst known in the industry as Smart Contracter says decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols Aave (AAVE) and Synthetix (SNX) will likely appreciate the most given how strong they’ve held up compared to other altcoins during the recent market correction.

Bluntz observes that instead of hitting lower lows (LLs), most DeFi “blue chips” recorded higher lows (HLs) and consequently a surge in the double-digits range should be expected.

“#DeFi blue chips like $AAVE $SNX et al. will probably bounce the most seeing as they dumped the least.

Most didn’t even make LLs but instead making HLs, expecting potentially 30%+ bounces from here.”

The trader tells his 107,600 followers that he expects Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC) to go up in price the first week of March before tumbling.

“This is how I see price action playing out over the next week or 2.

I’ve got $ETH up on my chart but structurally $BTC and $LTC are both identical.

Essentially expecting this coming week to retrace some of the inevitable weekly engulfing before a further final leg down.”

Bluntz also expects Bitcoin to hit nearly $50,000 in the first week of March before falling below $40,000 around mid this month, per the charts attached to the tweets.

In the case of Ethereum, Bluntz sees a recovery before the second-largest crypto by market cap hits resistance at around the $1,600 level.

Ethereum will then tumble and find support at slightly above $1,000 before staging a recovery to hit an all-time high above $2,200.

Shark Tank star changes tune on Bitcoin, will allocate 3% of his portfolio

BY

Businessman Kevin O’Leary, who appears on the reality TV show Shark Tank and once called Bitcoin a “giant nothing burger,” has now joined the laser eye community. 

In a tweet yesterday, O’Leary said he would be allocating 3% of his portfolio into Bitcoin (BTC) and looking into investing in sustainable crypto mining. He said his investment in the latter would be aimed to avoid “blood coins” — a reference to unethically mined diamonds — and “under a mandate of 0 carbon.” Both O’Leary’s Instagram and Twitter profile pictures now show the Shark Tank star with the laser eyes associated with those keen on crypto.

O’Leary’s about-face on BTC seems to have been at least partially influenced by Dan Loeb, CEO of New York-based asset management firm Third Point and a well-known figure on Wall Street. Yesterday Loeb said he would be “doing a deep dive…

Aavegotchis sell out in under one minute as NFT euphoria continues

BY

After a string of delays related to congestion on the Ethereum blockchain, the Aavegotchi nonfungible tokens have hit the open market — where they stayed for not even a full minute, the team reported to Cointelegraph.

The Aavegotchi project attempts to create digital collectibles with real value backing them through an integration with Aave and its aTokens, interest-bearing representations of funds supplied to the DeFi protocol. While the Aavegotchis are designed to incorporate some gaming and collection elements to them, inspired by the handheld Tamagotchi devices popular in the early 2000s, they are also an experiment of tying digital collectibles to real value. The aTokens locked within the NFT cannot be extracted without destroying the Aavegotchi itself, as they represent its “spirit force.”

The aToken collateral represents a lower bound, or intrinsic value of the collectible. Beyond that, each Aavegotchi has different character traits, wearables, and overall rarity, which…

BY

HGreg, a Quebec-based vehicle superstore with 30 North American locations, will begin accepting cryptocurrency payments for new or pre-owned vehicles this month. 

The auto dealer, which has locations in Quebec and Florida, is becoming one of the first large automotive groups to accept digital asset payments in its day-to-day operations. The company claims to have sold 500,000 vehicles over the past 25 years and maintains a warehouse in Miami that’s stocked with over 1,000 cars.

“A portion of the revenue from sales made in cryptocurrency will be kept in this format by the company,” HGreg said, indicating that it plans to hold digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) on its balance sheet.

In terms of accepting crypto payments, the dealership said:

“We’re pleased today to be at the forefront of technology, giving our customers another payment option. We also believe it will be advantageous to keep some of…

Enterprise meets DeFi: Organizations work toward adopting blockchain tech

BY

Decentralized finance is quickly maturing. While the total value locked in DeFi is over $45 billion, financial institutions and large corporations are starting to implement DeFi concepts to automate business processes. This is known as “enterprise DeFi.”

For instance, invoices and other financial products can be tokenized to ensure that transactions are valid and should be processed for payment across multiple parties. Coke One North America is one of the first large corporations to demonstrate this.

CONA is leveraging the Baseline Protocol — a project that coordinates confidential workflows between enterprises using messaging, zero-knowledge cryptography and blockchain — to tokenize invoices. CONA aims to “baseline” its entire supply chain by giving internal bottlers and external suppliers access to a private, distributed integration network.

Through use cases like CONA, such solutions are quickly gaining traction. There are also a number of vendors entering this infrastructure market including Provide, an…
