Altshuler Shaham Investment House har dobbelt så mye kryptovalutainvestering siden kjøpet av Bitcoin og Ethereum sent i fjor.

Gjennom Grayscale Bitcoin Trust klarte det israelske firmaet

Altshuler Shaham Investment House, et investeringsselskap i Israel, har doblet pengemengden det har etter å ha utnyttet kryptovalutamarkedets bull-rally sent i fjor. Gjennom Grayscale Bitcoin Trust klarte det israelske firmaet å ta en investering på 100 millioner dollar og gjøre den om til 200 millioner dollar.

For tiden har Grayscale rundt 31,4 milliarder dollar i forvaltningskapital (AUM). Dette har blitt rapportert å veie inn på en betydelig del av kryptovalutamarkedet, nok til at kapitalforvaltningsfirmaet har en enorm mulighet til å flytte markedet hvis det gjør noen store grep.

Globes, en publikasjon i Israel, rapporterte at firmaet hadde anskaffet aksjer i Grayscale mot slutten av 2020 da Bitcoin handlet rundt USD 21.000 USD – noe som var en heltid på det tidspunktet. Gilad Altshuler sa til Globes:

“Investeringen på 100 millioner dollar har blitt 200 millioner dollar, og av 200 millioner dollar har vi allerede solgt omtrent en tredjedel. Dette er en ny investering for oss. Det tok noen måneder til vi fikk alle relevante godkjenninger og alle meningene som godkjente vår investering i feltet.

Er det mulig at det kan legge mer til investeringen

Altshuler fortsatte at selv om firmaet har solgt noen av kryptovaluta-eiendelene, er det mulig at det kan legge mer til investeringen. Den eneste faktoren som kan endre dette er prisen på kryptovalutaen og hvor raskt den skjøt opp – noe som betyr at den kanskje er den mest stabile innsatsen. Som Altshuler uttalte:

“Det avhenger av prisen. Vi ble litt skremt av hastigheten som Bitcoin nådde disse prisene, med sin globale markedsverdi som krysset $ 1 billion dollar, og det bekymret oss litt. ”

Når det er sagt, er dette ikke første gang selskapet går inn i kryptovalutavannet. Tilbake i 2017 da første mynttilbud (ICO) var på topp, hadde selskapet angivelig posisjoner i en lokal ICO.

Un estudio encuentra que los encuestados blancos son más conscientes de Bitcoin en comparación con los encuestados negros e hispanos

Un sitio web financiero líder, SimpleMoneyLyfe, publicó hoy los resultados del estudio más extenso jamás realizado en la industria de la criptografía

El estudio descubre la conciencia del mercado de las criptomonedas por etnia y género, entre otros factores relacionados con las criptomonedas y la industria blockchain.

Después de analizar los resultados de encuestas exclusivas y las bases de datos públicas, los investigadores de SimpleMoneyLyfe concluyeron que es más probable que los hombres conozcan Bitcoin que las mujeres. Curiosamente, el estudio también informa que Bitcoin funciona de manera suprema entre los millennials, y el 67% de ellos dice que favorece a Bitcoin sobre el oro.

Disparidad Desenfrenada En La Industria De La Criptografía

El estudio SimpleMoneyLyfe se basa en los conjuntos de datos de noviembre de 2019 a enero de 2021. Hasta ahora, es el estudio más completo hasta la fecha en el espacio criptográfico y llega a los consumidores, el mundo académico y la industria privada donde más duele: desenfrenado disparidad. Hasta la fecha, ningún otro estudio ha descubierto una disparidad tan desenfrenada en la industria de la criptografía.

Varios otros factores interesantes relacionados con las criptomonedas y la industria blockchain, en general, se tratan en el estudio.

Una Instantánea Rápida Del Estudio SimpleMoneyLyfe

El estudio de SimpleMoneyLyfe niega la premisa de que la mayoría del volumen de transacciones de criptomonedas proviene de actividades delictivas. En realidad, el volumen de transacciones de criptomonedas utilizadas en actividades delictivas es solo un escaso 0,34% del volumen total de transacciones criptográficas globales. Equivale solo a $ 10 mil millones.

Los acaparadores de Bitcoin poseen una participación mayoritaria de Bitcoin en la actualidad, mientras que el 2% de las carteras criptográficas tienen el 95% de todo Bitcoin. Incluye a los primeros mineros / inversores de Bitcoin, instituciones financieras y gobiernos de todo el mundo.

Entre los hombres y mujeres encuestados mayores de 18 años, el 78% de los hombres informaron estar al tanto de Bitcoin. Por otro lado, solo el 71% de las encuestadas informaron que conocían Bitcoin.

Mirando hacia el futuro, el informe establece que Estados Unidos atraerá inversiones masivas de blockchain, ya que permanecerá a la vanguardia de la innovación de blockchain, y se espera que se gaste una cantidad impresionante de $ 4.2 mil millones en soluciones de blockchain solo en los EE. UU.

Cuando se trata de Bitcoin y el conocimiento de las criptomonedas, se espera que la falta de conocimiento disminuya con un aumento en las criptomonedas y la adopción de blockchain a nivel mundial.

The Dutch Eredivisie joins the Sorare digital football marketplace. This makes the soccer league the fourth available in the crypto network.

The deal is fixed. The entire Eredivisie is now playing on Sorare’s blockchain

This emerges from a press release from the digital football trading platform that BTC-ECHO has received. Players can now collect and exchange digital trading cards from all football clubs in the Eredivisie, such as the four-time Champions Leauge winner Ajax Amsterdam. In addition, footballers like Dušan Tadić, Donyell Malen or Sebastien Haller can also compete against each other in virtual matches. Well-known German players such as World Cup hero Mario Götze and national player Philipp Max are also represented. Marc Rondagh, Business Development Manager for the Crypto Revolt review, commented on joining:

Our decision was largely driven by our enthusiasm for their ( Sorares , editor’s note) ambitious vision of building a global fantasy soccer game with digital maps. As a pioneer when it comes to innovation, we are always looking ahead, into the future, in order to offer our fans new experiences. In order to constantly improve these and to better present the brands of our clubs, Sorare will enable us to reach new, young communities, especially in Asia and America.

Sorare is also opening up a new revenue stream for the Eredivisie by creating a new category of gaming licenses : Fantasy Football Licensing.

Eredivisie is the fourth football league at Sorare

The top division of the Netherlands has now been in an illustrious circle since joining. In addition to the Eredivisie, all teams from the Belgian Pro Leauge, the South Korean K Leauge, the Japanese J Leauge and the US Major Leauge Soccer (MLS) are represented on Sorare . In addition, real soccer heavyweights such as Bayern Munich , Juventus Turin and Real Madrid play on the virtual soccer field. BTC-ECHO put the game under the microscope in a detailed test .

Fidelity Digital Assets est en train de prendre une autre assurance pour l’adoption de la cryptoconnaissance. L’entreprise va désormais proposer des prêts à ses clients sur 60 % de leurs avoirs en Bitcoin.

Le partenariat BlockFi rend les prêts possibles

Les nouveaux prêts de crypto seront accordés en partenariat avec la plateforme de gestion de patrimoine de crypto BlockFi, basée à New York. Fidelity Digital Assets est la branche crypto de Fidelity Investments, l’un des plus grands gestionnaires d’actifs au monde. Elle ne sert que les investisseurs institutionnels tels que les family offices, les fonds spéculatifs et les intermédiaires de marché.

Le président de Fidelity Digital Assets, Tom Jessop, a commenté le nouveau service et a déclaré qu’il s’adressait aux investisseurs Bitcoin qui souhaitent transformer leurs avoirs numériques en espèces sans avoir à vendre leurs actifs. L’entreprise fournira un ratio prêt/valeur (LTV) de 60 %, ce qui signifie que les clients potentiels peuvent obtenir des prêts jusqu’à 60 % de la valeur de leurs avoirs. L’entreprise considère les bureaux de négociation de gré à gré, les crypto-mineurs et les fonds spéculatifs comme des clients potentiels pour son nouveau service.

La demande de prêts cryptographiques augmente

Plusieurs plateformes de crypto ont commencé à offrir des prêts à leurs clients afin de leur permettre d’encaisser leurs avoirs sans avoir à vendre leurs pièces. BlockFi a également lancé ses services en mars 2019, offrant des prêts aux personnes intéressées par l’emprunt de cryptocrédits. Le montant du prêt varie de 2 000 à 1 000 millions de dollars et peut être utilisé contre des pièces de monnaie stables, des Ethereum et des Bitcoin.

BlockFi a affirmé avoir doublé ses revenus mensuels depuis son dernier cycle de financement de série B, qui a apporté 30 millions de dollars d’investissements supplémentaires en février. Le prêteur crypto basé à New York a déclaré qu’il est en voie de générer environ 100 millions de dollars de revenus l’année prochaine.

À ce jour, BlockFi a attiré plus de 1,5 milliard de dollars de dépôts d’investisseurs institutionnels, de particuliers et d’entreprises. L’entreprise a également enregistré une forte croissance de ses bénéfices et une augmentation de sa clientèle. Elle envisage également de s’implanter davantage en Asie. Fidelity, d’autre part, offre déjà à ses utilisateurs une gamme de services de qualité institutionnelle, dont la conservation qui s’accompagne de services d’exécution 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7.

Platform pays players through funding from the players themselves who can pay an entry fee of 10,000 satoshis (about $2.70).

The fractions of the coin stay as balance in the game and each time the player is slaughtered a small fraction is subtracted for the player who slaughtered him.

ZEBEDEE, a game developer focused on Profit Revolution launched a prototype that gives fractions of Bitcoin to Counter-Strike players through Lightnig Networks.

The studio that develops games focused on digital currency integration has bet on the world’s most famous FPS, Counter-Strike:Global Offensive (CS:GO).

With the platform, players can earn fractions of digital currency (satoshis) during the game.

Called Infuse, the new feature pays satoshis to players for each in-game slaughter. ZEBEDEE co-founder Christian Moss demonstrated the platform in a live broadcast on Twitch this Sunday (27).

CS:GO is a popular game with several professional tournaments in the world with awards over $1 million.

In the case of Infuse, the prototype pays players through funding from the players themselves who can pay an entry fee of 10,000 satoshis (about $2.70). The fractions of the coin stay as balance in the game and each time the player is slaughtered a small fraction is subtracted for the player who slaughtered him.

This means, in thesis, that the better the player is, the more fractions he will win. And it also means that the less professional players will need to choose better against whom they will play „worth satoshis“.

The platform founder said he plans to make Infuse available for other games in the future, taking „bitcoin to any existing game“.

Although the gaming industry is highly competitive for game developers, the company is focusing on integrating Bitcoin into multiple games, a market entry strategy to capture a differentiated audience.

Talking about the motivation behind the new project, Moss explained that „it is very difficult to make a game that people want to play“. The development of a good game represents just the initial step to make a title successful, especially as small studios and independent developers have to compete with giant companies like Ubisoft, SEGA and Blizzard.

„Even if you make a game that is good, and even if you have Bitcoin, it probably won’t be attractive to people who can play the existing games they know and love.“

Infuse therefore wants to enter this market and instead of developing new games, will start rewarding players with Bitcoin.

The idea seems promising, the problem will be those players who will always lose satoshis. That is, the games may become much more competitive.

Bitcoin ha stabilito il suo nuovo massimo storico, superando i $ 24.000 mentre la criptovaluta numero uno al mondo continua il suo rally nel fine settimana prima di Natale.

La criptovaluta ha raggiunto un limite di $ 24.122 sabato prima di ritirarsi a circa $ 23.978, con un aumento di quasi il 5,5% nel corso della giornata, secondo l’indice CoinDesk.

L’impennata ha spinto i suoi guadagni dall’inizio dell’anno al 225 percento

Nel frattempo, il famoso broker di criptovalute Coinbase ha dichiarato di aver archiviato documenti presso la Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), aprendo la strada a un’eventuale offerta pubblica iniziale (IPO).

Ma poiché la base originale della criptovaluta era quella di offrire libertà finanziaria a tutti e staccarsi dalle tradizionali restrizioni del settore bancario, il movimento di Coinbase verso Wall Street potrebbe evocare alcuni drammatici cambiamenti nel mercato.

Cyber ​​criminals may initially prefer other cryptocurrencies in the coming months.

Cryptocurrency-related fraud and theft are likely to increase after the coronavirus crisis, according to a new report from cybersecurity and antivirus firm Kaspersky Lab

Kaspersky’s cyber threat research arm, Securelist, published a report on Cyber ​​Threats to Financial Organizations that predicts some specific types of financial attacks that are likely to increase in 2021.

Securelist predicts that the wave of poverty caused by Corona will inevitably lead to „more people resorting to crime, including cybercrime“. That could also mean an increase in bitcoin-related crime ( BTC ).

According to the Kaspersky Research Department, Bitcoin is likely the most attractive asset for cyber criminals because it is the most popular digital asset.

The report says:

„It could be that certain economies collapse and local currencies depreciate sharply. This makes Bitcoin theft much more attractive. We expect more scams, mainly related to BTC, as this cryptocurrency is the most popular.“

The Securelist researchers also suspect that online perpetrators could also target privacy coins such as Monero ( XMR ). According to the company, attacks on Monero could occur because there are more and more „technical possibilities for monitoring, de-anonymization and seizure of BTC“. In the post from Securelist it says:

“[…] We expect that cyber criminals will switch to transit cryptocurrencies to extort money from their victims. There is reason to believe that they could switch to other privacy-focused currencies like Monero in order to use it as a transition currency initially. These funds are then converted into another cryptocurrency of their choice, including BTC. „

As previously reported, there are currently fewer crypto crimes in 2020. Some other crypto sectors (like the DeFi area) have become new targets for criminal activity. According to a report by VPN company Atlas VPN, crypto and blockchain hacks are likely to continue to decline in 2021 .

De contante Bitcoin-prijs begon een scherpe daling na het handelen tot $373 ten opzichte van de Amerikaanse Dollar.

De prijs brak de $300 steun en kwam onder het 55 voortschrijdend gemiddelde (4 uur).
Er was een breuk onder een cruciale contracterende driehoek met ondersteuning op $320 op de 4-uursgrafiek van het BCH/USD-paar (data feed van Coinbase).
Het paar kon zijn opwaartse beweging herstarten als er een duidelijke breuk is boven de $280 en $288 niveaus.

De contante Bitcoin Up houdt de $250 support zone vast en herstelt zich ten opzichte van de US Dollar, vergelijkbaar met bitcoin. BCH/USD zal waarschijnlijk sterk stijgen als het de $280 weerstand oplost.

Bitcoin-cashprijsanalyse

Deze week zag de bitcoin cash prijs veel schommelbewegingen boven de $300 ten opzichte van de US Dollar. De BCH prijs schommelde boven het $350 niveau voordat de beren in de buurt van de $370-$375 zone verschenen.

Er werd een high gevormd in de buurt van $373 voordat de prijs sterk begon te dalen. Er was een pauze onder het $350 support level. Er was ook een pauze onder een cruciale contracterende driehoek met support op $320 op de 4-uurs grafiek van het BCH/USD pair.

Het pair kwam onder het $300 support level en kwam onder het 55 simple moving average (4 uur). Tot slot vond het steun in de buurt van het $250 niveau en een dieptepunt wordt gevormd in de buurt van $251.

De prijs herstelt zich momenteel en handelt boven het $265 level. Een initiële weerstand op de bovenkant ligt in de buurt van het $280 level. Het ligt dicht bij het 23.6% Fib retracement niveau van de neerwaartse beweging van de $373 swing high naar $251 low.

De volgende grote weerstand ligt in de buurt van het $288 niveau en het 55 eenvoudige voortschrijdend gemiddelde (4 uur). Een duidelijke breuk boven de $280 en $288 niveau’s zou de prijs naar de $300 weerstand kunnen optillen. De volgende grote weerstand ligt in de buurt van het $312 niveau of het 50% Fib retracement niveau van de neerwaartse beweging van de $373 swing high naar $251 low.

Omgekeerd kan de prijs er niet in slagen om de $280 en $288 weerstandniveaus op te heffen. Aan de andere kant zijn de $255 en $250 niveaus belangrijke steunpunten. Een duidelijke breuk onder het $250 niveau zou de prijs kunnen leiden naar $230.

Kijkend naar de grafiek, is de bitcoin contante prijs hoger herstellende van $250. Over het geheel genomen zou de prijs weer omhoog kunnen gaan als er een duidelijke doorbraak is boven de $280 en $288 niveaus.

Ubisoft-støttet Blockchain RPG lar spillere ‘forkaste’ spillet

Nine Chronicles, en blockchain-drevet RPG støttet av Ubisoft, kunngjorde nylig sin tidlige utgivelse på nettet. Dens oppdrag: la spillere bli skapere.

Blockchain-drevet RPG Nine Chronicles kunngjorde sin tidlige utgivelse på nettet forrige uke.
Spillet, støttet av Ubisoft, selger ut sine daglige tildelinger av innfødte tokens, sa medskaperen Kijun Seo.
Spillet ber brukerne om å bidra til å skape verden.

Nine Chronicles, et blockchain-drevet desentralisert rollespill Bitcoin Future støttet av Ubisoft, kunngjorde sin tidlige utgivelse på nettet forrige uke.

Spillet – et av de første i sitt slag – er tanken til det Seoul-baserte selskapet Planetarium. Nine Chronicles er det som kalles et MMORPG, eller et massivt online rollespill for flere spillere.

Det er en akronymtank

Men i lekmannsbetegnelser betyr det velg ditt eget eventyr med et snev av fantasi.

Gjennom Nine Chronicles håper Planetarium å så frøene til et nytt landskap av brukerdrevne spillmiljøer.
Gaming titan Ubisoft-blekk håndterer blockchain RPG Nine Chronicles

Global videospillutgiver Ubisoft fortsetter å øke sin tilstedeværelse i det voksende blockchain-spillområdet og kunngjør i dag at det har signert et nytt rådgivende partnerskap med utvikler …

NyheterTeknologi

„Mange mennesker har blitt frustrerte fordi disse virtuelle verdenene ble skapt av selskaper,“ sier Kijun Seo, en av grunnleggerne av Planetarium. „Det er skapt for å tjene dem og for å skape mest mulig fortjeneste.“

„Det er ikke dårlig alene,“ presiserte Seo. „Men når du har titusenvis eller hundretusener av mennesker, er det mulig å selvorganisere og modere programvaren og bygge noe samfunnet tror på,“ sa han og refererte til konseptet med å modifisere – en forseggjort. copy-paste som lar brukerne redigere spill etter eget ønske uten å måtte gjenoppbygge programvaren fra bunnen av.

På en måte er det underliggende premisset til Nine Chronicles – et spill basert på demokratiske prinsipper – knapt nytt. Folk har moddet spill i flere tiår, nysgjerrige åpnet ryggen til Ataris på 1970-tallet og finjustert nedlastede spill på 2010-tallet, og skaper faktisk bobleverdener: små utløste universer, parallelle med originalene og likevel kontrollert av brukerne. I noen få tilfeller har modifiserte versjoner konkurrert med originalene.

„Det er noen interessante eksempler,“ sa Seo. “World of Warcraft, som er det mest populære [massivt flerspillerspillet], ga ut en større oppdatering hvert år eller to år. Det var en stor forandring som en gang ble kalt Cataclysm, der de i utgangspunktet ødela kartet og skapte en ny verden på toppen av det, som var kult alene, men mange mennesker ville være i den forrige verden.

The Swiss Ministry of Finance began discussing a regulation that will introduce a legal framework for the regulation of the blocade and crypto industry at the state level in August 2021, according to a press release.

Discussions on the document between the cantons, political parties and interest groups will conclude on 2 February. The aim of the amendment package is to adapt the legislation to developments in block and cryptographic technology.

Previously, the legal provisions on the exchange of digital securities, the asset recovery procedure and the requirements for launching trading platforms were approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives.

In September, the University of Lugano and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland established the Blockchain Technology Association to support and develop the blockchain.
