Top Stories This Week

Walmart seeks crypto product lead to drive digital currency strategy

On Aug. 16, it was reported that U.S. retail giant Walmart was seeking out an experienced crypto expert who can develop and drive a digital currency strategy and product roadmap for the firm.

According to the job listing, Walmart is looking for someone with a track record of leading and scaling businesses. They also want at least 10 years of experience in product/program management and tech-based product commercialization.

Ideally, the candidate should also know a thing or two about crypto, blockchain tech and why JPEGs of poorly drawn pet rocks are selling for absurd prices on Ethereum.

Walmart’s future digital currency and crypto product lead will be based in the company’s home office in Bentonville, Arkansas. The state has produced talents such as Billy Bob Thornton and Johnny Cash, along with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

  Team officially reestablishes Dogecoin Foundation after 6 years

There was good news for Doge fanatics this week as the Dogecoin Foundation resurfaced after several years of total media silence. 

According to an announcement on Tuesday, the foundation stated it was reestablishing itself in a bid to support the fiery-eyed Dogecoin (DOGE) community. The foundation also said it would be announcing new projects that are centered on encouraging adoption of DOGE and promoting its utility. 

The project’s website lists Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus and Dogecoin Core developer Max Keller as advisory board members. Furthermore, Tesla CEO and DOGE proponent Elon Musk’s interests may be catered to from the shadows via Neuralink CEO Jared Birchall.

It is yet to be revealed if Musk’s “toddler hodler” son has loaded up on DOGE in light of the announcement.

  Coinbase amasses a $4B war chest so it can outlast ‘crypto winter’

Coinbase, the top U.S. crypto exchange, has amassed a cash-based war chest worth $4 billion on the back of two very productive quarters for the firm. 

The company reportedly expected to use the cash to cover costs incurred by a variety of factors, including conforming to new regulations handed down by the United States legislature.

Coinbase has also announced its official launch in Japan in partnership with banking giant Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, while also revealing plans to add $500 million worth of crypto to its balance sheet and invest 10% of all generated profits into digital assets moving forward.

    Winners and Losers

    At the end of the week, Bitcoin is at $48,778, Ether at $3,282 and XRP at $1.28. The total market cap is at $2.09 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap. 

Among the biggest 100 cryptocurrencies, the top three altcoin gainers of the week are Avalanche (AVAX) at 105.79%, Arweave (AR) at 96.17% and Audius (AUDIO) at 93.78%.

Prediction of the Week 

  Ethereum ‘liquidity crisis’ could see new ETH all-time high before Bitcoin — Analyst

Bitcoin, the crypto industry’s largest asset by market cap, and Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest asset, have both posted notable price recoveries over the past several weeks. Although BTC has yet to be surpassed as the crypto industry’s top dog, ETH might tap its own all-time price high near $4,400 sooner than BTC reaches its record level of nearly $65,000, according to thoughts from CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju. 

“$ETH might reach its all-time high earlier than $BTC in the long term,” Ju tweeted on Wednesday. “Current $ETH price is closer to ATH compared to $BTC. Higher demand, lower supply. $ETH sell-side liquidity crisis still intensifies, while $BTC exchange reserve stopped its downward trend in May.” 

On Friday, BTC fluctuated above the $48,000 mark, and ETH traded above $3,200 — which, however, are both still notably shy of their record highs.

FUD of the Week 

  JPMorgan Chase reportedly shuts down bank accounts of Bitcoin mining firm

On Aug. 19, U.S. banking behemoth JPMorgan Chase reportedly blocked all account activities of Bitcoin mining firm Compass Mining. 

Whit Gibbs, the CEO of Compass Mining, took to Twitter to share the news:

“Shoutout to @Chase for shutting down @compass_mining accounts for doing our part to replace the old guard with self-sovereign, future-focused supporters of hard money. Get behind #Bitcoin or get out of our way.”

It is unclear if the temper tantrum will be enough to sway JPMorgan Chase to change its mind, and it is also unclear how shutting down banking services to one Bitcoin mining firm represents an attack on BTC in any way. 

If anything, the banking giant has been upping its exposure to Bitcoin and the crypto sector in 2021.

  Liquid exchange hacked to the tune of $80 million

Liquid, a Japanese crypto exchange, was the victim of a $80 million-plus hack this week which made the platform not so… liquid. 

Cointelegraph reported on the news quickly after the exchange announced the attack, which compromised digital assets including BTC, Tron (TRX), Ripple (XRP) and Ether.  

The exchange explained that only its hot wallets were affected and added that its assets were being moved into cold storage for security purposes. 

The platform has since provided an update and revealed the hack totaled $91.35 million. The firm has urged users to not deposit any crypto assets in Liquid wallets until further notice.

  T-Mobile looking into potential hack of data on 100 million customers

Speaking of hacks, U.S. telecom giant T-Mobile was looking into an alleged massive data breach at the start of this week that may have compromised the information of more than 100 million users. 

According to Vice’s Motherboard, T-Mobile is looking into a potential data breach claimed by an author who posted details on an underground forum. A Sunday report said the hacker claims to have obtained data on more than 100 million customers from T-Mobile servers.

Unlike the Poly Network hacker, who syphoned $600 million worth of digital assets because “cross-chain hacking is hot,” the T-Mobile hacker seems to be displaying entrepreneurial instincts, as they were asking for 6 BTC —  worth around $280,000 at current prices —  in exchange for some of the data.

New Post has been published on https://primorcoin.com/defi-should-complement-tradfi-not-attack-it-ava-labs-ceo/

DeFi should complement TradFi, not attack it: Ava Labs CEO

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is on its way from becoming a small niche within the financial industry to something traditional finance (TradFi) is trying to incorporate. 

In an interview with Cointelegraph at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Emin Gun Sirer, the co-founder and CEO of Ava Labs, spoke on DeFi’s role in TradFi ecosystems and what users can expect in a future where both are on center stage. 

Sirer stressed that the purpose of DeFi is not to attack or be an enemy to TradFi, but rather complement it, at least initially.

“I don’t think DeFi is meant to attack TradFi. DeFi is supposed to complement TradFi, at least initially,” argues @avalabsofficial’s @el33th4xor when asked by Cointelegraph’s reporter @gazza_jenks at the @wef in Davos.

Do you agree about his thoughts on DeFi’s purpose? #CTWEF23 pic.twitter.com/BH2VPV2po2

— Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) January 17, 2023

The Ava Labs co-founder highlighted that DeFi could offer services to people that TradFi doesn’t, especially when it comes to democratized access to financial services and platforms. 

Sirer believes that the two will come together. However, this is a developing mindset in the DeFi space, as first-generation DeFi systems presented an alternative to TradFi.

According to Sirer, this is because these two financial worlds initially had different values, which are now merging.

“Now TradFi is understanding that, yes, [DeFi] has the transparency that we clamor, [they] can do safety tests on their systems because of the audit-ability of the systems they built, that we cannot do.”

A recent statement from an executive at Ripple also revealed an expectant attitude toward more TradFi adoption in 2023. This is also something industry insiders are looking at in terms of acquisitions of crypto companies by larger, legacy companies in the TradFi space. 

From the DeFi side, Sirer says that those who will come out as visionaries are going to be the chains that absorb this growth.

Related: Trouble brewing for the US: Two-thirds of TradFi expects a 2023 recession

Despite the rosy forecast for a DeFi-TradFi merger, the space has seen a turbulent year. DeFi projects saw the highest number of attacks and exploits in 2022, with more projected in 2023.

After the FTX scandal, many outside the industry grew increasingly skeptical of what decentralized financial technologies could offer.

Sirer says that post-FTX, everyone needs to be reminded that this industry is here to stay, as well as this new asset class.

“There are many of us who dedicated our careers to scientific development in the blockchain space. We undertook all of the steps necessary to solve the scalability problems to solve the governance problems, the compliance problems that the space faced.”

DeFi is even being reimagined through an institutional lens to benefit larger corporations in mainstream industries, including TradFi banks.

SBF sent home and Binance gets Voyager assets: Hodler’s Digest

Top Stories This Week

SBF sent home after his parents put up their house to cover his astronomical bail bond

Sam Bankman-Fried will spend the holidays with his family in Palo Alto, California, after his parents secured $250 million in bail funds with the equity in their home. Among the conditions of the bail are home detention, location monitoring and his passport surrender. The former FTX CEO signed surrender documents on Dec. 20, allowing his extradition from the Bahamas to the United States, where he faces eight charges that could keep him behind bars for the rest of his life. Bankman-Fried will now wait for his sentence at home with his family.

Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang plead guilty to fraud charges

Former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison and FTX co-founder Gary Wang have pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges. Ellison, however, is working on a plea deal with the Office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, which would evade all the seven charges against her, resulting in a $250,000 bail bond and prosecution only for criminal tax violations. The agreement doesn’t provide protection against any other charges that Ellison might face from any other authorities. Wang and Ellison are reportedly cooperating with U.S. authorities on investigations related to FTX’s collapse.

Genesis and DCG seek path for the recovery of assets amid liquidity issues

Global investment bank Houlihan Lokey has proposed a plan to resolve the liquidity issues at crypto lender Genesis and its parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG). The plan, devised by Houlihan on behalf of a committee of creditors, would further provide a path for clients of crypto exchange Gemini to recover assets owed by Genesis and DCG. Genesis platform withdrawals have been suspended since Nov. 16, days after the company disclosed that nearly $175 million of its funds are stuck in an FTX account.

Binance.US set to acquire Voyager Digital assets for $1B

With a bid of $1.022 billion, Binance.US will acquire the assets of bankrupt crypto lender Voyager Digital. The sale, however, is subject to a creditor’s vote and closing requirements. A hearing will also be held by the presiding bankruptcy court to approve the purchase agreement on Jan. 5, 2023. In good faith, Binance has agreed to deposit $10 million and reimburse Voyager for certain expenses up to a maximum of $15 million.

New Post has been published on https://coinprojects.net/is-ripple-poised-to-settle-with-sec-this-week-crypto-twitter-weighs-in/

Is Ripple poised to settle with SEC this week? Crypto Twitter weighs in

Rumors suggesting the legal battle between Ripple Labs and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is coming to an end have continued to circulate, prompting the crypto community to weigh in on the matter.

Speculation is rife about a potential settlement as early as Dec. 15, which was shared in a Dec. 10 ask-me-anything (AMA) with Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, noting he had heard rumors that the case would be settled on Dec. 15 — he later reiterated that it was only rumored and that he didn’t necessarily believe it to be true.

Meanwhile, Cointelegraph has also come to understand that the rumors are unsubstantiated.

Despite this, there is still plenty of commentary about what a settlement would mean for Ripple and the wider crypto industry.

In a Dec. 12 Twitter post, pro-crypto former U.S. congressional candidate January Walker opined that an unfavorable settlement from Ripple would be a “loss for the whole world & WEB3,” adding:

“The world follows the actions of the USA, and how the government handles one of us, sets precedence for how they handle all of us,” Walker said, calling for the industry to “work together.”

The world follows the actions of the USA, and how the government handles one of us, sets precedence for how they handle all of us. Instead of battling against each other claiming one group is better than another we need to work together for the right legislation.

— January Walker (@UtahPolitician) December 12, 2022

David Gokhshtein, the founder of blockchain-focused media company Gokhshtein Media, weighed in as well, commenting in a Dec. 10 Twitter post: “We need Ripple to win this case and not settle,” which he said would be a worst-case scenario. 

“Worse case scenario is Ripple settles, but I don’t know if they’ll provide clarity for the entire industry,” he added.

During the Dec. 10 AMA, Hoskinson also said that a settlement could have “catastrophic implications for the industry one way or the other.”

Meanwhile, crypto attorney Jeremy Hogan, a partner at Hogan & Hogan, says there are several possible outcomes. In a Dec. 10 YouTube video, Hogan told his 157,000 subscribers that he thought there was roughly a 50% chance that Ripple wins, but a “110.6% chance of something happening shortly.”

The lawyer predicted that if Ripple wins, the most likely reason would be “it had no legal obligation to purchasers of XRP after the sale occurred, no post sale obligations, in other words there can be no investment contract without an investment contract.”

“The evidence is clear in the Ripple case that there is no ongoing legal relationship between Ripple and XRP purchasers. There’s just none, and the SEC has failed to address that problem,” he added.

However, he also backed an earlier Nov. 4 prediction by defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor James Filan that the case will be decided on or before March 31, 2023, calling it a “proclamation from a legal God.”

I am sticking to my prediction that District Judge Torres will decide both the Expert Motions and the Summary Judgment motions at the same time – on or before March 31, 2023.

— James K. Filan 126k (beware of imposters) (@FilanLaw) November 4, 2022

Related: Investors increasingly confident of Ripple’s victory over SEC: CoinShares

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse told panelists at the Oct. 11 DC Fintech Week conference that he expects the case against the firm to conclude during the first half of 2023 but admitted that it was hard to predict.

He has previously said Ripple would consider a settlement with the SEC on the condition XRP is not classified as a security.

Ripple (XRP/USD) eyes a breakout as lawyer makes a prediction on Ripple case with SEC

Crypto lawyer expects a sweeping ruling in Ripple case with SEC

XRP has met resistance at $0.40

The cryptocurrency is bullish but needs a breakout for further gains

Ripple (XRP/USD) has been trading on short-term bullish momentum but within a tight range. That has seen the cryptocurrency hit resistance at $0.40, a level it has held for a few days. From there, it’s just one more bullish trigger, and XRP will break out. There are developments worth noting that could cause such price action.

As you already know, Ripple’s case with the US Securities and Exchange Commission is entering a crucial stage. CoinJournal reported that lawyers expect the case to be settled very soon. Another crypto legal expert has thrown his views on the case. 

Attorney James K. Filan expects the US District court to make a sweeping ruling in a summary judgement. He believes there won’t be separate rulings on the sealing issues, including the Hinman materials. Filan says this is the standard practice from the previous rulings, including a case that involved Goldman Sachs. If the prediction turns out to be accurate, we could see the case settled early on, as speculated.

Meanwhile, the latest Coinbase cryptocurrency news has raised fresh speculations. Coinbase says it will remove some crypto assets, including XRP, from its wallet beginning in January. The US crypto exchange cites low activity of the tokens. The development has made the crypto community speculate that the case with SEC will be delayed or Ripple will be defeated. But how is XRP behaving?

XRP corrects slightly at key resistance

XRP/USD Chart by TradingView

An intraday loss of 2% allows bears to push XRP back to the ascending trendline. The RSI has fallen below the midpoint on the entry of sellers. However, the momentum is still bullish for XRP at the key resistance.

Should you buy XRP?

Most of the expectations about Ripple’s case with the SEC are speculation. However, it is a truth that the case is taking an important twist that will be watched in December. Bulls should stay alert at the $0.40 level, as a potential breakout could occur on positive developments.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Christy Goldsmith Romero has pointed to the collapse of the Terra ecosystem and its flow-on effects as an example of how contagion risks within crypto markets are similar to those experienced by the traditional financial (TradFi) system during the global financial crisis (GFC) of 2008. 

Romero suggested in a speech given at the International Swaps and Derivatives Association’s (ISDA) Crypto Forum on Oct. 26 that increased links between crypto markets and TradFi increases the risk posed by crypto to overall financial stability, noting:

“The digital asset market remains relatively small and contained from the level of systemic risk that would come with greater scale or interconnections with the traditional financial system. But this may not be the case in the near future, particularly given growing interest by traditional finance.”

One area of TradFi the commissioner would prefer to remain distant from crypto is retirement and pension funds. This opinion has likely been influenced by recent events in the United Kingdom, where pension fund issues required intervention from the Bank of England.

I have significant concerns about the possibility of pensions and retirement funds investing in #Cryptocurency

— Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero (@CFTCcgr) October 27, 2022

While Romero cautions the United States to not rush regulations, she supports a “same risk, same regulatory outcome” approach as the level of risk posed by the crypto industry increases, suggesting:

“Similar to post-crisis reforms, Congress can address financial stability risks by providing additional authority to the CFTC.”

The GFC came about after banks began to lend recklessly to people without the means to fully pay back their mortgages. These “subprime” mortgages were bundled together and sold as safe investment products before defaults started a ripple effect that spread across the world.

While the CFTC is often regarded as the more crypto-friendly regulator compared to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it appears to be attempting to change that image as part of its bid to gain more regulatory oversight after revealing it instigated 18 enforcement actions on the sector throughout the 2022 fiscal year.

One of the more recent CFTC actions was the fine levied at the Ooki DAO and its members, which was heavily criticized by a CFTC commissioner and members of the crypto community, who referred to it as “blatant regulation by enforcement.”

Before this action, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) were regarded by many advocates as being “above the law,” and have resulted in the formation of legal entities within DAOs as a way to limit liability.

BTC Surges, How Long Will It Last

Bitcoin Price Today October 17 Latest Updates: The cryptocurrency market is facing a massive selloff due to various unfavorable macroeconomic forces. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, has faced a major brunt of the crypto winter. It is currently down close to 1% in the last 7 days and close to 65% from its all-time high.

However, Bitcoin showed a surprise rally in the last 24 hours. It surged by 0.7% and is currently trading at $19,270. Ethereum also follows Bitcoin and surged by a significant 1.85% in the last 24 hours. It is currently trading at $1308. ETH will look to hold the $1.3K support line.

Binance coin or BNB also surged by 0.7% in the past day and is currently priced at $272.

XRP was one of the biggest losers of the crypto market in the past day. XRP crashed by over 3% and is trading at $0.4689. This brings XRP’s weekly loss to over 11% in the last 7 days.

Despite having a volatile week, Cardano saw some relief and increased by 0.7% in the last 24 hours. It is currently trading at $0.3688. However, it is down 12% in the last 7 days. Similarly, Solana prices surged by 1.56% in the past day and are trading at $30.31.

Polygon, which increased by 1.75% in the last 24 hours, and Polkadot, which increased by 1.11% in the same time, were also the winners of the crypto rally.

Quant surged by 18% in the last 24 hours and 40% in the last 7 days to currently trade at $214.

Why Bitcoin Price Has Surged Today

The overall macroeconomic condition is still dictating the crypto price movement. Cryptocurrencies were facing a major selloff as the Fed maintains its aggressive stance to curb inflation levels. The recent inflation data has highlighted how the central bank’s interest rate hikes are not bringing inflation to target levels.

However, the Bitcoin price rally today can be attributed to the fall of dollar’s strength. The U.S. Dollar fell by 0.3% and the crypto market responded with a rally.

How Long Will The Rally Last

While the recent rally will encourage crypto investors, the market will still eye the Fed’s next interest decision. The next FOMC meeting is on the 2nd of November and will dictate the long-term price movement.

Crypto Price Today Oct 13: Cardano (ADA), Altcoins Tank

Crypto Price Today Oct 13 Latest Updates: The crypto price is crashing as data highlights worse-than-expected inflation. Bitcoin prices remain sluggish and fell a mere 0.12% in the last 24 hours. BTC is currently trading at $19,067. However, Bitcoin is sliding as it fell close to 7% in the last 7 days.

Ethereum fell close to 0.50% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $1284. Ethereum is still way below the $1300 mark and much below the pre-merge levels.

The rest of the altcoins market faced the major brunt of the market volatility. BNB fell over 1% to trade at $269 while XRP fell by 3.30% to trade at $0.4707.

Cardano was one of the biggest losers of the crypto market. ADA prices fell by 5.14% in the last 24 hours and close to 15% in the last 7 days. It is currently trading at $0.3718. Solana fell close to 1.71% in the last 24 hours and is priced at $30.60.

Polygon continues its slide by falling another 3% in the last 24 hours and 9% in the last 7 days. $MATIC is currently trading at $0.7623.

Meme coins also faced the full force of market volatility. Both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu fell close to 3% in the last 24 hours.

Why Is Crypto Price Down Today

The crypto market is currently dependent on macroeconomic conditions for its price movement. The Fed’s hawkish stance is hampering the growth of any crypto asset. The Federal Reserve appears unanimous on its restrictive monetary policy. Yesterday’s Producer Price Index will definitely bolster that stance.

The PPI data released yesterday showed worse-than-expected inflation. The PPI came out to be at 8.5% YoY rather than the expected 8.4%. The Fed admitted that the inflation is taking much longer to soften than usual.

The market was saved by the fact that the core PPI, which excluded food and energy prices, came out at 7.2%, less than the forecasted 7.3%.

Key Events To Watch

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the Consumer Price Index today. The market expects a strong price movement after the CPI data.

Musk’s deal for Twitter looks set to go with original $44B price tag

Elon Musk is back on track to buy Twitter. The billionaire originally decided to buy the social media network back in April 2022, settling on a price tag of roughly $44 billion. He subsequently attempted to cancel the agreement, claiming inadequate transparency from Twitter regarding the firm’s financial health as well as fake account and spam bot prevalence on the platform. Musk now intends to complete the original $44 billion deal, according to a legal filing.

EU regulators ban cross-border payments from Russian crypto accounts

In light of recent escalations in the Ukraine-Russia war, the European Union has banned crypto activity between member regions and Russia, no matter how small the transaction. The ban covers “all crypto-asset wallets, accounts, or custody services, irrespective of the amount of the wallet,” according to an Oct. 6 statement from the European Commission. Russia, on the other hand, has taken the opposite stance, evident in its approval of cross-border crypto activity in recent weeks.

Prediction of the Week 

A crumbling stock market could create profitable opportunities for Bitcoin traders

Bitcoin posted another week of largely range-bound price action, trading between $19,000 and $20,500 for the most part, according to Cointelegraph’s BTC price index.

Cointelegraph analyst Marcel Pechman detailed the potential importance of Q3 earnings announcements expected in October from big companies such as Tesla and Apple. If negative, the announcements could lead to a falling BTC price if the asset remains correlated to mainstream markets. In contrast, Bitcoin’s scarcity could appeal to investors if inflation woes continue.

Bitcoin, Altcoins Plummet, Why Is Crypto Down Today

The crypto market is down today after a small surprise rally yesterday. The market is crashing as the sentiment around risk assets turns negative. 

Bitcoin prices have fallen by 7% in the last 24 hours. It wipes away all the gains of yesterday’s rally as BTC falls below the $19K mark again. It is currently trading at $18,726. 

Ethereum lost more than 7% and is currently trading at $1285. Ethereum continues its downtrend after the merge. The altcoin market continues to struggle with unfavorable macroeconomic conditions. 

BNB fell close to 5% while XRP broke its upward trend and fell by more than 10%. Cardano (-6.45%), Solana (-7.20%), DOGE (-5%), and Polkadot (-7%) were the other biggest losers in the market. 

Why Is Crypto Down?

The crypto market struggles as the central banks remain hawkish to curb soaring inflation levels in the US. Neel Kashkari of the Minnesota Federal Reserve believes that the interest rates may not be high enough. Susan Collins of the Boston Fed warns that unemployment will rise as the Fed continues its hawkish stance. 

The Fed’s hawkish stance is concerning the market participants as recession fears are mounting. Collins hopes that the slowdown will be modest but also concedes that a significant economic event can lead to a recession. 

The dollar continues to show incredible strength which is sinking the risk assets market. The US dollar climbed another 0.39% which plummeted other currencies across the globe. The climbing dollar will help solve the soaring inflation levels in the US. However, experts worry if it can also lead to global destabilization. 

Key Events To Watch

Several key Fed officials will continue to speak at various events. They include San Francisco’s Mary Daly, Atlanta’s Raphael Bostic and Charles Evans of Chicago. 

Germany will release their Consumer Price Index which can lead to global volatility and affect the crypto market. The crypto market will hope that stock market can rally and provide some relief.
