Top Crypto Trader Says He’s Heavily Investing in New Crypto Asset on Binance Smart Chain

A highly-regarded trader known in the industry as Altcoin Psycho is devoting a significant amount of capital to a new altcoin.

The analyst tells his 142,000 Twitter followers that he is heavily investing in Swirl Cash (SWIRL), a newly launched project that lives on Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

Swirl is designed to power decentralized and private transactions on the BSC smart contract platform, which has grown in popularity since the rise of gas fees on the Ethereum network, the leading smart contract platform.

Altcoin Psycho highlights that unlike many projects fresh off a token release, the Swirl team already has a working project in place.

“Heavily aped in SWIRL today as soon as it listed on PancakeSwap. Swirl is essentially the Tornado Cash of BSC, with much better token economics.

Main product is already live, so it’s not based off a whitepaper. This one will do incredibly well in my opinion.”

From the time the trader made the call, Swirl soared from a low of $1.55 to a high of $6.51 in a matter of hours, making returns of 320% for anyone who played the trade perfectly.

Swirl is currently trading at $4.90 and sits around a $6-million market cap.

In February the pseudonymous trader made a bold call regarding decentralized cloud storage solution Akash Network (AKT), betting that the project could soar into the top 50 projects by market cap.

Since making his AKT prediction, the asset is up nearly 100% and has overtaken roughly 16 projects to become the 204th top asset by valuation.

Australian government offers $6M in grants to innovative blockchain teams

BY

The Australian government has opened applications for grants  up to $3 million each in funding to blockchain projects targeting supply chain tracking in the minerals industry and tax tracking in the food and beverage sector.

Applications are open until April 29, with any sole trader, partnership, publicly-funded research organization, or entity incorporated in Australia that possesses an Australian Business Number eligible to apply.

The money will be used to fund two distinct pilots. The Food and Beverage Provenance pilot hopes to support a team addressing the complexities associated with spirits producers complying with excise taxation.

The announcement noted:

BY

Blockchain security provider Sigma Prime has announced its first merge transaction between the two Ethereum networks.

The transaction was made by its Lighthouse client using only Proof of Stake validators, it stated in a March 25 tweet. It added that this was a step towards a 99.98% drop in Ethereum energy consumption, deriving that figure from calculations that compare the current Proof of Work Eth1 with the much more efficient Proof of Stake Eth2.

Sigma Prime stated that it is an exciting achievement but still far from production as it is still a prototype with much more work to do, adding:

“Primarily, you should take this is a signal that

Eth1 and Eth2 developers are actively working together on the merge.”

This is not the first time such a feat has been managed, with Sigma Prime pointing out that in August last year the…

Bitcoiners love dogs, gold bugs prefer cats — Important new research

BY

New research from US crypto exchange Xcoins suggests gold investors are pretty evenly split between men and women, but men dominate the ranks of crypto investors by a significant margin.

The data also revealed that “gold investors are more likely to own a cat than cryptocurrency holders (45% to 38%), while cryptocurrency holders tend to be ‘dog people’ (43% to 38%).”

Xcoins’ research used Global Web Index data between 2017 and 2020, to find the differences between gold and crypto owners.

The research found that there is a significant disparity between women’s views on gold as an investment as opposed to crypto. Around 46.7% of gold investors are women and 53.5% are men, while among crypto investors, 71.9% are men and just 28.1% are women.
