US Supreme Court Rejects Binance’s Appeal on Class-Action Lawsuit
EOS EOS OMG OmiseGO
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The US Supreme Court ruled today that a class action lawsuit against Binance will proceed. The suit is filed by former investors who accused the exchange of illegally selling unregistered tokens.

Binance claimed that the lawsuit was invalid as the US did not have jurisdiction over the issue. However, the Supreme Court rejected this argument today.

US Supreme Court Spurns BinanceBinance, one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, is currently facing several legal battles. In the UK, the exchange is facing allegations of unlawfully terminating an employee after whistleblowing on misconduct. However, the current class-action lawsuit in question is filed by consumers in the US.

It claims that Binance failed to warn users about the significant risks of investing in certain low-cap tokens. According to reports, Binance claims these accusations are meritless and the securities law is inapplicable as the exchange is not located in the US. However, the Supreme Court thinks otherwise.

“Recent innovations in technology have empowered investors to participate in foreign financial markets with greater ease and efficiency. This interconnectivity and ease of access has increased not only the size of the market for trades but also the number of Americans who trade on foreign exchanges,” Binance claimed in its petition.

Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, was a major proponent of this Supreme Court appeal. CZ is no longer an official representative of the company. However, he still has an investment in these proceedings; he was jailed on related charges nearly a year ago.

Indeed, the Supreme Court’s ruling here could impact Binance in several ways. US federal regulators have already pursued the company on several criminal charges, but today’s appeal concerns a civil matter. Former users who bought ELF, EOS, FUN, ICX, OMG, QSP, or TRX after 2017 are eligible to join this class action suit.

Although the US federal government has taken a noticeable swing towards crypto, this doesn’t necessarily impact the judiciary. Last month, the Supreme Court also allowed a shareholder lawsuit against Nvidia to proceed in an episode that parallels Binance.

Now that these shareholders received the green light, the exchange’s chances in this lawsuit don’t look good. Additionally, considering it’s only a civil case, clemency from the upcoming President Trump seems extremely unlikely.

Not Just a Novelty: NFT Volumes May Be Bigger Than You Think
ANT Aragon BCN Bytecoin EOS EOS ETH Ethereum MANA Decentraland NEO NEO
CoinGecko News
Original source text
By now, you probably know the story of CryptoKitties by heart. The trading game pioneered non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in 2017, and buyers were eager to get in on the craze. Early on, the average CryptoKitty cost $80—but then, the NFT’s trading volume and average price dropped like a rock. Today, the average CryptoKitty is worth just $1.50.

CryptoKitties market data via Nonfungible.com But although CryptoKitties are struggling, non-fungible tokens have gained traction elsewhere. Decentraland, for example, is using NFTs to represent parcels of virtual land, while companies like Enjin are using NFTs for in-game items. Even the Ethereum Name Service is using NFT tokens—in this case, tokens represent unique domain names.

However, there has been little investigation into the size of the NFT market. NFTs are not as obscure as they were two years ago, but they are still largely overlooked: most major exchanges and market aggregators have ignored the trend. To find out how big the NFT market is, we dug into the data—and the numbers may surprise you.

How Big Is the Biggest NFT Marketplace? OpenSea is the largest NFT marketplace by trading volume. It first went live in January 2018, and it has handled over 25,000 ETH, or $4.5 million, since then. Typically, the site trades about 50-150 ETH ($9000-$27,000) of NFTs per day. These numbers are even more impressive in light of the fact that most of its trading took place this year:

OpenSea trading volume (in ETH) via DAppRadar Right now, OpenSea has a daily volume of 80 ETH, or $15,000. If OpenSea were a traditional exchange, it would rank at #180 on CoinMarketCap. This isn’t massive, but it is a good start. For scale, OpenSea’s daily volume is about 1/10th of Waves DEX’s daily volume, or 1/5th of Switcheo‘s daily volume—two minor but well-known exchanges.

OpenSea fares even better when it is compared to other NFT markets. Auctionity has slightly more users at the moment, but OpenSea beats Auctionity’s daily trading volume fifteen times over (5 ETH vs 80 ETH). There are other NFT marketplaces, such as Rare Bits, which do not publish data—but in any case, OpenSea appears to dominate.

How Big Are the Biggest NFTs? There are currently two tokens vying for the title of “most valuable NFT.” Nonfungible.org suggests that Decentraland’s land parcel tokens, which have a weekly trading volume of $42,000, lead the market by this measure. OpenSea, however, suggests that MyCryptoHeroes, a series of battle tokens, have a weekly volume of 350 ETH ($60,000).

In any case, weekly trading volumes for the largest NFT token are currently somewhere in the ballpark of $50,000. Though subject to change, this is on par with the current weekly volume of a few middling cryptocurrencies. For example, Bytecoin experienced a $57,000 trading volume this week, while Aragon traded $68,000 this week.

Meanwhile, minor NFTs have somewhat lower trading volumes—typically, they move less than 100 ETH per week. But collectively, they are impressive: if OpenSea’s top twenty NFTs were combined, they would have a weekly trading volume of 1120 ETH ($200,000), which is roughly equal to the weekly volume of Factom ($250,000/week).

The Need For Better Statistics It’s unlikely that CoinMarketCap and other market aggregators will begin to rank NFTs and NFT marketplaces any time soon. Even dedicated sites like OpenSea and Nonfungible.com only collect data for a few dozen NFTs. Plus, there are no standard practices for dealing with artificial and unusual market activity when it comes to NFTs.

There are already irregularities: for example, OpenSea’s Ethereum Name Service tokens increased in value by more than 30,000% this week. This rapid change was due to the fact that initial auctions took place over several weeks and were finalized at once. (The auction was exploited as well, but this occurred on a small scale and had no effect on price.)

More broadly, market cap may be a poor measure of an NFT’s success, as it extrapolates average NFT prices to a supply of tokens that may never sell at their listed auction price. We chose to observe trading volume, as it only concerns tokens that have been sold. To account for price changes, long-term trading volumes may be an even better measure.

Are NFTs Big Enough to Go Mainstream? NFTs aren’t as big as they are often made out to be. Reports of a multi-billion dollar annual market for cryptocollectibles are likely overblown: this estimate seems to be based on data about physical collectibles ($200 billion per year) and the video game industry ($50 billion per year). Cryptocollectibles won’t take over these markets entirely.

Still, the fact that OpenSea can handle millions of dollars in NFTs per year is a good start. Plus, the market for NFTs may get bigger: OpenSea only handles NFTs based on Ethereum’s ERC-721 standard. Other blockchains, such as EOS and NEO, already have NFT standards—which means the market may be bigger than what we’ve estimated.

To be even more optimistic, it is possible that a single NFT will become too big to ignore. Many current NFTs, such as Decentraland property, have largely speculative value, but it may only be a matter of time until a non-fungible token becomes as sought-after as leading cryptocurrencies.

Then, everyone will want a piece of the action.

CoinGecko News
Original source text
After last week’s plunge of over $1,500, Bitcoin rattled its 2020 positive run. The question remained if the $8,500 critical support level could hold the downfall, and, so far, it has.

The largest cryptocurrency dipped below it to $8,440, but it managed to recover quickly. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $8,700.

If BTC continues to increase, the first significant resistance level lies at $8,800, followed by $9,000. The latter also serves as a major psychological line.

BTC/USD. Source: TradingView Most of the cryptocurrency market notes small upwards movements today. Ethereum, Litecoin, Tezos, and EOS are all up with around 1%.

Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV are the most significant gainers among the top 10 coins by market cap. The former is up with 2.66% to $322 and the latter with 4.6% $234.

Contrary, Huobi Token records the largest decline in the top 20. HT is down with over 4% and is currently trading at $4.66.

Even though the company suspected a DDoS attack on its network, later, Bitfinex said that all issues had been resolved.

Interestingly, OKEx went through an unscheduled system update on the same day, as well.

Beating the Odds? Insolvent FCoin To Resume Operations And Attempt To Refund Users. FCoin exchange became insolvent in February and was unable to pay its customers an estimated amount of $115m worth of Bitcoin. A few weeks later, however, the firm promised to refund the affected users and to start operating again.

Ripple Partners With European Remittance Company Azimo But Legal Troubles Continue. Ripple partnered up with a European online remittance service company Azimo to serve customers in the Philippines. At the same time, though, the company’s legal issues with Bradley Sostack continue.

Significant Daily Gainers and Losers Bytecoin (23%) BCN skyrockets today with 23% gains against the U.S. dollar to $0.0005. It rises with 21.6% against the largest cryptocurrency, and BCN/BTC currently trades at 6 SAT.

With the most recent price increase, the total market capitalization of Bytecoin is well above $92 million.

AELF (12.32%) Elf is in the green today, as well. It rises to $0.1, after a 12% price jump. Elf trades at 1163 SAT after an 11% increase against Bitcoin.

The company recently published a comprehensive guide on how to utilize its network mechanism securely.

Kyber Network (-12.45%) On the other side of the scale sits KNC’s price. After yesterday’s surge to $0.85, KNC drops to $0.7. It also goes down to 8074 SAT, following a 13.5% drop.

Despite the most recent decrease, Kyber Network still has a total market cap of above $125 million.

Following Crashing Markets, Bitcoin Struggling To Maintain Key-Support At $6300: Wednesday’s Market Watch
BCN Bytecoin BTC Bitcoin EOS EOS ICX Icon XRP Ripple
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The last few days were quite turbulent for Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market. BTC went to retest the support at $5,800, losing $800 of its dollar value in the process. However, it has since bounced, and it’s currently trading at another important support level at $6,300.

BTC/USD. Source: TradingView This weekend saw $5,850 as the current weekly low, and that’s far from being a coincidence. As Cryptopotato reported, the $5,900 area holds very strong support as it also represents the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level from the massive drop on March 12.

Looking at the bigger picture, Bitcoin would still have to close affirmatively above $7,168 to overcome the slump from the night of March 12. Until this happens, the cryptocurrency is likely to be considered in a bearish trend.

The rest of the market is following in Bitcoin’s footsteps. Throughout the past seven days, most of the large-cap cryptocurrencies are also in the red. ETH is down about 2.8%, EOS is down 2.19%, and so forth. Ripple (XRP) is the recent winner, as it increased by 6.7% throughout the week despite the declining market.

Cryptocurrency Market Overview. Source: Coin360 Major Crypto Headlines Russia’s Legislative Ban On Cryptocurrency Delayed Because Of The Coronavirus. The unexpected outbreak of COVID-19 has an impact on legislative procedures in Russia. According to a government official, the law which would ban cryptocurrencies from being used as a means of payment will be delayed.

Bitcoin HODLers: BTC Daily Transfer Volume Hits 15-Months Low. March has clearly been a devastating month for Bitcoin as the cryptocurrency lost almost $3,000 of its value. Moreover, on-chain transactions on the Bitcoin network have also declined to their 15-months low, according to data from Bitinfocharts.

Analysis: Gold Price Should Be $8,900 (5x Higher) And Here Is Why. The global financial markets were seriously affected by the spread of COIVD-19. This also had an impact on the price of gold, which was also unusually turbulent. According to one model, however, its fair value right now should be around $8,900.

It’s the 48th largest cryptocurrency on the market.

ICON (14%) ICON (ICX) is another altcoin that marked serious gains throughout the past day. It’s up 14% against the USD and 15% against BTC. At $0.23 per coin, the cryptocurrency has a total market capitalization of $125.6 million and a daily traded volume of about $52 million. It’s the 38th largest cryptocurrency on the market.

Bytecoin (-14.4%) The past day hasn’t been particularly lucrative for Bytecoin as it becomes the worst-performing cryptocurrency over the last 24 hours. It lost about 14.4% against the USD and 13% against Bitcoin. BCN changes hands at $0.000196 and sits on a market cap of $36 million. Its daily traded volume is about $9,000, which is quite insignificant. BCN is the 85th biggest cryptocurrency on the market.

CoinGecko News
Original source text
Crypto markets hit another new 2019 high yesterday; Bitcoin holding gains, TRX moving up ETH, XRP, LTC, BCH and EOS falling back.  Market Wrap It has been a wonderful weekend for crypto markets, the best so far this year. Bitcoin’s push through five figures has lifted total market capitalization to a one year high of over $325 billion. Monday morning markets remain buoyant as BTC has held on to most of its gains yet again.

The Bitcoin parabola has continued as it topped out at $11,250 during Sunday trading. It was the second time over the weekend that BTC broke above $11k but it could push no further and fell back twice. Bitcoin is currently starting to consolidate around the $10,750 level during Asian trading today. Daily volume peaked at $30 billion over the weekend which pushed market cap to $200 billion.

Ethereum also got a lift from its big brother as it finally broke above the $300 barrier. ETH hit a top of $320 yesterday before pulling back a couple of percent today to settle at around $305. Gains were solely on the back of Bitcoin as ETH remains slow to recover in comparison.

Altcoin Outlook The crypto top ten is starting to correct during Monday trading across Asia. Most altcoins are shedding their weekend gains with XRP, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and EOS dropping 4 percent each. Only Tron has made a gain today with 4 percent added to reach $0.038. Justin Sun did not miss the opportunity to point out that TRX has flipped Stellar for a top ten slot as market cap topped $2.5 billion:

— H.E. Justin Sun 👨‍🚀 🌞 (@justinsuntron) June 24, 2019

The top twenty is all red today as altcoins drop gains and remain weak. Cosmos and IOTA have dumped over 4 percent while Stellar and NEO are close behind. Monero and LEO have remained flat on the day.

FOMO: Lambda Launches Today’s crypto top one hundred pump is going to LAMB which has surged by 48 percent to reach an all-time high of $0.17. The Chinese decentralized data storage token has recently been listed on Bittrex and OKEx which is likely to be driving momentum.

Aeternity is also spiking at the moment with a 13 percent boost and Hedge Trade is the third altcoin with a double digit gain. Insight Chain is getting dumped hard as it falls to the bottom of the pile losing 30 percent. MaidSafeCoin and KuCoin Shares are also in pain with 10 percent dropped a piece.

Total market cap 24 hours. Coinmarketcap.com Total crypto market capitalization hit a one year high of $336 billion yesterday. Bitcoin’s push above $11k has contributed to most of it and altcoins dumping today has dropped total cap back to $324 billion. Daily volume peaked at almost $100 billion on Sunday but has since cooled off as markets correct slightly.

Binance CEO Counters Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin on the Biggest Problem Facing Crypto
BSV Bitcoin SV EOS EOS ETH Ethereum SKY Skycoin
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao says he disagrees with Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin’s recent comments on blockchain scalability.

In an interview with The Star, Buterin said the speed and cost of blockchain transactions remain the biggest challenge facing blockchain technology.

“The main problem with the current blockchain is this idea that every computer has to verify every transaction. If we can move to networks where every computer on average verifies only a small portion of transactions then it can be done better.”

In response, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao issued a tweet saying newer blockchains have already successfully pushed blockchain transaction volume and speed to acceptable levels.

“I like Vitalik and ETH, but speed and capacity was a problem a year ago, but now a largely solved problem for newer blockchains (for now). We need to increase real applications that people actually use, so that we hit the new capacity issues/limits again. Focus on applications.”

Buterin quickly countered, saying recent attempts to beef up blockchain speed are too centralized, citing EOS as an example.

“It’s not solved at all. Even the newer semi-centralized blockchains have TPS in the hundreds; AFAIK EOS has already had scalability bottleneck issues.”

Hundreds of comments poured in, sparking a rigorous technical discussion about orphan blocks, nodes, Raspberry Pi, reorgs and how to solve the holy grail of scalability without sacrificing security and decentralization.

The team at MetaHash countered that their next-generation blockchain outperforms Buterin’s assumptions.

Supporters of GoChain, Skycoin, Elrond, EOS and HPB (High Performance Blockchain) all affirmed that solutions are available.

[tweet 1164295083002343431 hide_thread=’true’]

Buterin also says he’s becoming increasingly doubtful that second-layer solutions like the Lightning Network are the best solution to boost the speed and lower the cost of transactions.

https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1164086901265129478

He highlighted Bitcoin SV as a more scalable solution.

https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1164087067363762176

Binance launched its own blockchain, called Binance Chain, in April of this year. Zhao says it can handle about 2,000 transactions per second. In contrast, the Ethereum blockchain currently supports roughly 15 transactions per second. However, Binance Chain is not designed to support smart contracts, a key factor in its ability to support higher transaction volume.

QuarkChain's Anthurine Xiang: Ethereum and EOS are trying to make a faster chain, without realizing there's a limit
BTC Bitcoin EOS EOS ETH Ethereum QKC Quarkchain ZIL Zilliqa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
QuarkChain is a relatively new project in the cryptocurrency space. Founded in 2017, and did the impossible task of raising funds in 2018 bear market, QuarkChain has become a good project in the eyes of its investors. The blockchain is currently valued at $42 million and has a daily trading volume above $9 million.

We had a chance to catch up with Ms. Anthurine Xiang, the CMO of QuarkChain. She shared some good insights regarding QuarkChain and why it’s set to become a big player in the blockchain space.

Blockmanity: Initially you worked at Wall Street and Silicon Valley. What attracted you to the blockchain industry?

Anthurine: So you see, I have a combined background of finance as well as technology, a really good combination. I knew about Bitcoin for quite a while, but I did not know about blockchain before 2017. While I was working at a tech company in Silicon Valley,  one of my colleagues introduced me to blockchain technology and immediately I found it groundbreaking.

At that point, I had just started investing in cryptocurrency (namely Bitcoin and Ethereum) and also started helping cryptocurrency projects in their marketing in Silicon Valley. One of my colleagues started pitching this project – QuarkChain and he invited me to join as there were only 2-3 engineers.

Back in 2017, when I first joined the blockchain industry it was full of scam projects everywhere. But as I look at the industry now, it has matured and we can see a lot of good projects in the industry. I know many engineers from Google and Facebook looking joining this space.

Blockmanity: You had raised funds in 2018, how hard was it to raise funds in this bearish market?

Anthurine: It was really hard to raise funds in the 2018 market. We started raising money in February 2018. I remember we had a very small investment before April. But in April the story changed. The markets were better than February and March. We were also getting noticed at that time.

A lot of projects were doing Airdrops at that time, we decided not to do an Airdrop. We already had a testnet by March 2018, and we invited a few engineers and media and did some transaction in front of them. The transactions were really fast.  And, the media posted a few articles about us and the engineers started promoting our project through word of mouth. And that’s how we got initial traction.

One thing that helped us raise funds, is our unique approach to the scalability problem. We are solving the scalability problem using “Sharding”.

Sharding is not new. Back to 2010, every major tech company was doing scalability using a clusters machine. But it didn’t work out as it was expensive and efficient. That’s when the idea of on-demand scaling was implemented. If the demand is high, increase computation and if less decrease the computation. This is called “Sharding”.

In 2018, to improve scalability everyone was either trying to increase the block size or decrease the confirmation time or get a new consensus algorithm. We said leave that, we decided to use sharding which is a proven technology. And it worked. Sharding allows us to scale in a linear way. And different shards also allow people to use their own consensus algorithm.

Anthurine shoqing Quarkchain’s user growth

When we introduced the project we were the only one implementing sharding. The only project which was doing sharding at that time was Zilliqa, but they weren’t using it to its full potential. At that time Ethereum started talking about Sharding as well.

Blockmanity: In your whitepaper, you mention your goal is to achieve 1 million TPS. EOS tried that as well but failed miserably. Why do you think QuarkChain will be able to achieve this?

Anthurine: That is because of Sharding. EOS, they are trying to make a faster chain. Ethereum is trying to make a faster chain. But, there is always a limit for a single chain. The philosophy behind sharding is to scale up using multiple chains.

To speed up, we can come to different chains (shards) and each of these chains can have its own consensus. There will be better faster consensus coming out this year or the future. And we can incorporate them all through sharding. Theoretically, there can even be a million shards.

In our testnet, we had a TPS competition and the number one user achieved 50K TPS. And is due to current technology. With better and faster consensus algorithms we can achieve 1 million TPS in the future.

Blockmanity: Sharding requires a centralized entity requiring to oversee the scalable chains. Doesn’t QuarkChain become that centralized entity, going against the principle of decentralization?

Anthurine: Our blockchain’s design is similar to Polkadot’s. Polkadot’s interoperability works through a hub model. Polkadot’s SDK acts as a hub which connects different chains and facilitates interoperability. Similar to Polkadot, existing blockchains can be forked as a shard on our blockchain.

I would not consider QuarkChain as a public chain but rather like AWS. We provide the infrastructure to speed up transactions and provide interoperability functions to existing blockchains. So this allows us to work with public chains as well.

Each shard on our platform can have its own token economics. The reason public chains work with us because we help them solve the scalability issue. This means they don’t need to solve scalability issue on their own. They can use our infrastructure to achieve their goal.

We are going to add more functional shards in the future. Our next step is to add a privacy shard, which allows people to send money in a private. With our functionality shards, people can exchange tokens in a decentralized manner.

Blockmanity: While going through news on QuarkChain we came across a product call QPocket. What is QPocket?

Anthurine: QPocket is a wallet by us and not infrastructure. Think of QPocket as an entry to DApps. Any DApps sitting on a blockchain, if they want a user-friendly entry point, QPocket will provide them that. It has nothing to do with blockchain but more to do with DApps.

Blockmanity: Speaking in terms of DApps, what according to will be the next killer DApp?

Anthurine: To be honest, I don’t know what would be the next killer DAps. What I know is that we have to be ready for the next killer Dapps, and we should constantly be on the lookout for them. We have to be flexible to provide them the technology they need. We want the next killer DApp built on QuarkChain. It will take time, but personally, I think it will be on the payment side.

Blockmanity: Great, so what’s next for QuarkChain?

Anthurine: Ah good question. QuarkChain is quite flexible. And our step is to increase this flexibility. This is to increase the number of functionality shards.

The next shard we are adding is the privacy shard. We have also signed some contracts with big enterprises to develop the blockchain technology with them.

We are also going to expand our community and get ourselves listed on more exchanges. We recently had our first community governance, and people agreed that they want to accelerate the token release process. After this, we will do a lot more news releases and get a lot of people to know about QuarkChain.

Blockmanity: Great, sound like a busy year ahead. A final question, how can people earn QuarkChain (QKC) tokens?

Ans) There are 2 ways to earn QKC tokens. First, We hold regular bounties which include joining our community and earning some QKC tokens. In fact, the last one ended a couple of weeks back. But it is only sometimes.

Second, and the best way is to join our Guardian program. As a guardian, anyone can join as a candidate with the promise to bring some value to the community. Existing members will vote for you and if you bring the promised value you will earn reward QKC as well as the people who voted for you earn QKC. You can also vote using your QKC and earn more QKC.

Crypto Tidbits: Bitcoin Loses $7k, Blockchain Layoffs, Ethereum DeFi Explodes
BSV Bitcoin SV BTC Bitcoin EOS EOS ETH Ethereum MKR Maker REP Augur XTZ Tezos
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Another week, another round of Crypto Tidbits. Bitcoin has effectively been flat on the week, recently returning to around where it started the week after briefly interacting with the ever-important $7,400 resistance. Altcoins, interestingly, came into their own this week, with Ethereum, Link, Tezos, EOS, among other top altcoins posting double-digit percentage gains in the past seven days.

Bitcoin’s stagnation over the past week comes as the stock market has mounted a strong comeback, with the S&P 500 rallying 12% from last Friday’s close to Thursday’s close despite 6.6 million new unemployment claims in the U.S. and the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

Despite the non-action, analysts are still bullish on BTC and the rest of the cryptocurrency market. In fact, as reported by NewsBTC previously, BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes said that while he could see Bitcoin revisiting $3,000, his year-end price target “remains $20,000,” which is 180% above the current price.

As to why he thinks this is the case, he cited that the monetary and fiscal solutions that governments and central banks are enlisting to stave off precision:

“Everyone knows the shift is upon us, that is why central bankers and politicians will throw all of their tools at this problem. And I will reiterate, that is inflationary because more fiat money will chase a flat to declining supply of real goods and labour. There are only two things to own during the transition to whatever the new system is and that is gold and bitcoin.”

According to a “100% user-generated” list of companies on recruiting/job site Candor, Bitcoin.com, crypto mining firm Bitfarms, and mining hardware manufacturer Bitfury are among the firms in this industry that have begun to lay off staff over the past few weeks. Outside of this, one of the original crypto companies, Factom, has purportedly gone into liquidation, despite securing millions of dollars worth of funding over the past five years and garnering a grant from the U.S. Energy Department. Ethereum DeFi Has Seen Stellar Growth: In a report published April 9th, blockchain analytics site DappReview revealed that transaction volume across Ethereum-based DeFi projects has increased by nearly 800% when comparing Q1 2020’s metrics to that of Q1 2019. Much of this growth was attributed to projects like Maker and Compound — which offer decentralized loans and stablecoin solutions — and derivatives providers like Synthetix and Augur. This growth comes as crypto upstart Thesis and other partners are soon to release tBTC — a project that will act as a decentralized representation of Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain. Analysts expect for the launch of this project to boost DeFi adoption, with both ETH  and BTC holders Bitcoin Cash & Bitcoin SV See Block Reward Halvings: Both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV have seen their block reward halvings pass in the past 72 hours. As a result, both networks saw their hash rates and difficulty drop. The halving resulted in an instant 50% reduction in mining revenues for those operating on the BCH and BSV chain, forcing operators running on tight margins to turn off their machines or mine on other networks. Fewer machines mean fewer computers processing blocks, resulting in slower transactions. South Korea Launches Digital Currency Project: On Monday, South Korea’s central bank, the Bank of Korea, revealed that it has launched a pilot program for testing a digital won, which is slated to run to December 2021.  A release outlining this move said the program will determine if there are a legal case and ample technical capability to launch a digital currency in South Korea. This comes just six weeks after the South Korean National Assembly passed legislation that will provide a comprehensive framework for the regulation and legalization of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin exchanges. Twitter CEO & Bitcoin Bull Jack Dorsey Pledges $1 Billion to COVID-19 Relief: Jack Dorsey announced in a Twitter thread this week that Yesterday, Dorsey announced in a Twitter thread — it’s quite fitting, I must say — that he will be “moving $1 billion of my Square equity,” which purportedly corresponds with around 28% of his total wealth, to a LLC called “Start Small” to “fund global COVID-19 relief.” Start Small existed prior to this outbreak, but this is the first time it has seen mainstream attention. The Bitcoin bull intends to allocate the rest of the donation to the promotion of Universal Basic Income and girl’s health and education, calling both issues critical. Fidelity Sees Growth In Crypto Demand: Fidelity Digital Assets — the crypto services division of Wall Street giant Fidelity Investments, a firm with trillions under management — has confirmed it has seen an uptick in interest. Speaking to Frank Chaparro of The Block, a spokeswoman for the firm said that:
“From a trading perspective, we continue to onboard new clients every month and are seeing significant pipeline growth. […] And in recent weeks, we’ve seen more momentum across our business.”

Why Ethereum Doesn’t Have the Monopoly on Leading #DeFi Projects
BTS BitShares EOS EOS ETH Ethereum STEEM Steem USDT Tether XLM Stellar Lumens ZIL Zilliqa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Add ZyCrypto News On Google

2019 is the year of decentralized finance. The #DeFi movement was still in its fledgling stage at the end of 2018, but in the wake of the recent resurgence in the crypto markets, it’s taken off. In March, ConsenSys published a blog post listing – believe it or not – over a hundred DeFi projects, with several commenters suggesting even more.

Of course, the ConsenSys list only included those projects developing their DeFi applications on the Ethereum blockchain. But this shouldn’t go unchallenged. After all, if the DeFi concept is truly about decentralization, then any finance application built on any decentralized blockchain platform could qualify as #DeFi. Furthermore, now that Ethereum has more competition from platforms like Stellar, Tron, or Zilliqa, it makes sense that the #DeFi ecosystem can also grow on any other platform too.

Across DeFi and the entire dApp space, Ethereum indeed has the numbers. At the peak of the ICO boom, which was fueled in part by the easy availability of ERC-20 tokens, more than 100 new dApps were being added to Ethereum every month.

However, at this point in 2019, the ecosystem has diversified. Particularly in the categories of trading platforms and automated market making, there are some notable examples of non-Ethereum projects that have established themselves as heavyweights.
Image source: Depositphotos.com

Bancor Bancor was one of the first DeFi projects to come to fruition. It pioneered the concept of the liquidity network, designed to overcome the challenge of illiquidity in altcoins and enable an extensive range of swaps between different tokens. Whereas a traditional crypto exchange depends on having a full order book to ensure that trades can happen without delays, Bancor works differently. The Bancor network is based on the concept of “Smart Tokens.”

 

The native token of the Bancor network is BNT, which is a smart token in itself. The BNT token holds reserves of all other tokens on the network. Therefore, when someone wants to make an exchange, the network uses the BNT token as a relay, with the reserves enabling instant liquidity. This negates the need to have a counterparty for the trade, as is needed in a traditional exchange.

In Bancor’s earlier days, it faced some criticism for having developed its own tokens. At the time, the project was operating token swaps on the Ethereum blockchain. Uniswap, an Ethereum-based liquidity project that came later, simply used ETH as the relay token, which critics said was a more straightforward solution.

However, Bancor has always held a vision of enabling continuously liquid swaps between any tokens, regardless of which blockchain they’re developed on. The company has now integrated the EOS platform tokens and has plans for more in the future. In light of this, using a blockchain-agnostic Smart Token was a prescient move. It’s also worth noting that Vitalik Buterin himself spoke out on Reddit in support of the Bancor concept of using smart contracts to hold token reserves as a means of making markets. Nothing in his comments implied that the reserves have to be denominated in ETH. 

Fetch.AI Fetch.AI is shaping up to be one of the hottest projects of 2019. The project is a graduate of the Binance Launchpad program, where its token sale sold out within hours. Converging both blockchain and artificial intelligence, Fetch.AI is developing a universal integration protocol, where digital autonomous agents perform different kinds of tasks within an open economic framework. Through these agents, individuals or enterprises can participate in “smart markets” where supply is connected to demand in the most efficient way possible.

The platform offers a range of use cases from ridesharing to logistics. However, from a DeFi perspective, the ability to implement automated market makers is perhaps one of the most compelling.

Essentially, market making is a complex optimization problem where current and historical pricing data is used to determine the value of an asset and provide a reference forward curve. The Fetch.AI protocol’s synergetic smart contracts and virtual machine can solve the optimization problem to generate market orders that maximize returns, based on various market making strategies.

Such a toolkit and framework opens up an entirely new model of liquidity and market making, not only for digital assets but also for commodities in the real world where liquidity is limited, and the cost of exchange listings is high. The Fetch.AI framework enables Autonomous Decentralized Market Making (ADMM) to be deployed cross chains – something that wouldn’t be possible with a pure Ethereum deployment. 

BitShares BitShares was the first of the three blockchain projects for which Dan Larimer made his name, the latter two being Steem, and most recently, “Ethereum-killer” EOS. The project was formerly known as Protoshares, rebranded as BitShares in 2014, and is an enterprise-level “crypto-equity” smart contract platform. 

In 2016, BitShares was added to the Microsoft Azure Blockchain-as-a-Service platform, which at the time was one of only four projects to achieve this status. Interestingly, Ethereum was among the other three.

The BitShares BTS token is used as collateral for a variety of DeFi applications on the platform, including exchanges, banking, or creation of financial derivatives. Using the BitShares protocol, anyone can issue “smart coins,” which are collateralized and market-pegged.

Unlike, for example, Tether, which is operated by a closed-box company, BitShares is fully decentralized with the security of funds lying with the users. The platform is run by a decentralized autonomous company, which is responsible for making all decisions related to the project.

While it’s true that Ethereum currently has the majority of DeFi projects in quantity, these three projects demonstrate that there is a healthy balance for non-Ethereum projects in terms of quality.  If the DeFi concept is going to thrive within the overall crypto ecosystem, then it’s necessary to protect and nurture diversity. Doing so will create more opportunities for startups and ultimately, provide a wider choice for users.

Is Bitcoin Legal In The US? Cryptocurrency Regulations Trends | Crypto-Geography - Part 2
BTC Bitcoin BTS BitShares EOS EOS STEEM Steem XLM Stellar Lumens XRP Ripple
CoinGecko News
Original source text
In case you missed you can check out the first part of this series here.

Is Bitcoin Mining Legal in the United States?As implied by the FinCEN regulations, there’s no obligation on keeping virtual currencies. While spending, trading and exchanging crypto for fiat currency are considered money transmitters and should be reported. 

In June 2019, Squire Mining (SQRMF), a Canadian mining mogul with the most hashpower, signed a letter of intent to host blockchain cloud computing units - over 41,000 Bitcoin - to the United States. As mining migrates from China to the US, the latter is changing priorities from application and protocol development to focusing on infrastructure.

How to Buy, Store and Spend Crypto in the USAIf you’re wondering how interested Americans really are in the cryptosphere, here’s a fun fact: Bitcoin has become so popular that as a term it has outrun Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump in search requests by three times. 

Source: Consensys

Bitcoin is going mainstream in the States. It is already accepted as a payment by retailers and services like Overstock and NewsEgg and some major tech companies like Microsoft. The United States has over 3500 cryptocurrency ATMs and tellers – that’s 64% of all the crypto ATMs in the world. There is even a list of major cities in the US with ATM installations. Unsurprisingly, the top-5 cities are Los Angeles (372), Chicago (250), Miami (199), Atlanta (171) and Detroit (149).  Despite the huge amount of tellers where you can buy BTC, XRP, ETH, etc. a majority of people prefer to buy crypto via the various exchanges and crypto services online. 

Cryptocurrency has become an important aspect of local economies. California, New Jersey, Washington, New York, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Alaska, Nevada, and Massachusetts are the states with the largest amount of citizens who have cryptocurrency. 

In 2018, Finder surveyed 2000 US citizens to get an approximate idea of what coins Americans prefer to store. It comes as no surprise that Bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency in the US.

Is Trading Bitcoin legal in America?The question was raised on the federal level by the Securities and Exchange Commission, but the focus was on the use of blockchain assets as securities, such as whether or not certain Bitcoin investment funds should be sold to the public, and whether or not a certain offering is fraudulent. However, the SEC’s report focused entirely on Initial Coin Offerings, so the results don’t apply to BTC. To trade securities on the Blockchain, a company must register as an exchange, Alternative Trading System (ATS) or a broker/dealer.

Top cryptocurrency businesses in the USAIn addition to the wide user base of cryptocurrencies in the US, the country is also home to some of the most influential crypto projects in the industry.  American crypto projects range from powerful exchanges to headline grabbing social media experiments. Here are some of the most notable. 

LedgerX is a New-York based Bitcoin trading platform. As a start-up, LedgerX was actively lobbying for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and after a few years got a derivatives clearing organization license from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. That opened the door for the platform to bring classical financial tools to the cryptosphere. In November 2017, LedgerX launched the first long-term BTC options.

Ripple constantly finds itself the subject of debate in the crypto community regarding its centralised nature. Despite the mixed feelings, Ripple is already working with hundreds of financial institutions to drive crypto adoption and has launched the University Blockchain Research Initiative to support the research and development of blockchain technology. 

Gemini is a crypto exchange based in NYC that was created by the Winklevoss brothers. In 2016, Gemini became the world’s first licensed cryptocurrency exchange. Also, Gemini holds the distinction of being the first institution to launch Bitcoin futures contracts. 

Stellar was co-founded by Jed McCaleb, who was also among Ripple’s founders. The company strives to provide banking services for unbanked people. Their team is working to improve cross-border transactions and reduce fees and transfer times.

Steem is the native cryptocurrency of the blockchain-based social platform Steemit where users are rewarded for writing posts, commenting, reading and curating content. The NY-based company was founded by Ned Scott and Dan Larimer, who is also known as the CTO of EOS and creator of BitShares. 

Libra CoinLibra deserves its own section as it is one of the most controversial crypto projects that are sure to change the cryptocurrency market and the entire financial sector. The project initiated by Facebook, with Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal among its 27 charter members, is set to join the pantheon of premier US cryptocurrency projects. Facebook decided to launch the project to give financial freedom to 2,000,000,000 adults around the world who are outside the financial system. Of course, the guys from Facebook believe that people will trust decentralized management systems more now, when trade wars build barriers for money, when the trade is limited to the borders of the countries in dispute. Yet, the troubling issue is that Facebook management has been repeatedly accused of centralization and cooperating with authorities. On the other hand, the positive impact of mass adoption Libra can bring, will strengthen the cryptocurrency industry. However, much to my regret, Libra contradicts the basic ideas of blockchain - privacy and decentralization, the core values that Freewallet and many crypto companies fight for.

CCID Still Loves EOS, NANO Surges Through The Rankings
ATOM Cosmos BTC Bitcoin BTS BitShares EOS EOS ETH Ethereum LSK Lisk ONT Ontology QTUM Qtum TRX Tron XNO Nano
CoinGecko News
Original source text
China’s Center for Information Industry Developed Research Institute’s monthly crypto rankings have always been viewed as an oddity, given that the CCID is controlled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in a country notoriously scathing toward cryptocurrency.

But since President Xi Jinping’s recent address at the Politburo claiming that “We must take blockchain as an important breakthrough for independent innovation of core technologies. Clarify the main directions, increase investment, focus on a number of key technologies, and accelerate the development of blockchain and industrial innovation,” the rankings potentially warrant more respect. 

With the Chinese government announcing its intention to be at the epicenter of blockchain technology development, cryptocurrency markets went into overdrive, with Bitcoin seeing over 30 percent gains within ten hours.

Whether the Chinese government actually warms to the decentralized cryptocurrencies its citizens have long been enamored of remains to be seen. In the meantime, the news was widely viewed as a positive sign for the markets.

Are the CCID Research Institute Rankings Suddenly Relevant Again? The newfound enthusiasm for blockchain in the CCP, also indicated in recent news of a pending state-run digital currency, drags the CCID’s rankings back into view. Its latest edition has just been released.

Assessed in terms of technology, applicability (capability of being applied to solve problems), and creativity (how unique the blockchain is in its approach to solving problems), EOS has consistently ranked first since the organization began publishing its rankings in May of 2018.

The 14th index shows some notable movements since its last report. TRON overtook Ethereum in second place, though only by the skin of its teeth. Lisk is up seven places to seventh and Qtum surged ten places to eighth. 

Ontology is down seven places to fourteenth and Cosmos fell twelve places, from tenth to 22nd. GXChain fell precipitously, falling out of the top five in favor of BitShares. The top five now reads EOS, TRON, Ethereum, NULS, BitShares.

NANO on the Rise NANO enjoyed a rise from 22 to 13, finding a place back in the spotlight it lost during the early 2018 BitGrail debacle, from which it has since struggled to recover. As reported recently by Crypto Briefing, NANO is playing a substantial role in the ecosystem of Softbank-backed payments processor Wirex, an FCA-licensed company based in the U.K. 

At a recent NANO meetup in London, Wirex’s CEO Pavel Matveev said the company was keen to continue its relationship with the crypto formerly known as RaiBlocks. A Wirex blog post also spared no compliments in describing Nano, calling it “a next-generation cryptocurrency with great potential.”

With an opaque ranking system, the CCID results will likely remain a curiosity for some time. However, the CCP’s apparent newfound fondness for blockchain technology means it is warranted for the community to put blatant skepticism over their rankings on hold for at least an interim period.

Buterin Sticks to His Guns & Stays with Ethereum Despite Market State
BTS BitShares EOS EOS ETH Ethereum STEEM Steem
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The 24-year-old of the Ethereum project originally proposed the creation of the network late in 2013. Buterin has kept to his word and is still at Ethereum and is working hard to make it better than ever! In the past, the founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin has sat down in many interviews to discuss all things related to the decentralised network. The unofficial ‘CEO’ has gone onto explain in an MIT interview as to why the network can only be truly decentralised after it stops looking to him for answers. 

The 24-year-old of the Ethereum project originally proposed the creation of the network late in 2013. Even so, he revealed that it was time for him to start taking a back seat for Ethereum rather than being full-on. This will allow the community to grow and grow in a decentralised way.

This sparks up the query as to whether Buterin is getting ready to leave Ethereum.

Some Twitter users took his words of taking a back seat as Buterin planning an exit strategy similar to how Dan Larimer has left numerous blockchain projects. 

Dan ended up developing the blockchain tech of Graphene that gave fuel to BitShare and the Steem coin but he ended up leaving the project to start Steemit after he founded BitShares in 2013. Then two years ago, he went onto leave Steemit and joined Block.one as it Chief Technology Officer (which had an exciting year, to say the least!) and marched a successful crowdfunding to create EOS. 

In a tweet aimed towards Buterin, he accused him of planning his exit strategically and prompted him to reply and correct his speculation.

“Looks like @VitalikButerin is getting ready to pull a @DanLarimer. Exited!!. People continue to NOT understand what a Decentralized #Blockchain is & why #Bitcoin does NOT compete w/ nonsense like #Ethereum $ETH or #EOS $EOS, it compets w/ $USD $EUR $GOLD”

Responding to the tweet, Buterin said:

I am not leaving. No plans to stop or reduce blog posts / ethresearch posts / github commits. Vitalik is "in charge": ETH is centralized! Vitalik is not "in charge": Vitalik is pulling a Dan Larimer! This is why BTC maximalists have zero credibility.” This was an interview, Buterin did last year but one year on and to this day, Buterin has kept to his word and is still at Ethereum and is working hard to make it better than ever! It makes you question what the protocol would be like without Buterin overlooking it. If you take his words for granted then it would be more decentralised!

Cryptocurrency Market Cap Loses $6 Billion As Major Altcoins Paint Red: Tuesday Market Watch
AOA Aurora BNB BNB BTC Bitcoin EOS EOS ETH Ethereum LTC Litecoin WAVES Waves XRP Ripple XTZ Tezos
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The cryptocurrency market doesn’t appear to be in the best of shape. Most cryptocurrencies are losing large chunks of value in the last 24 hours, and the total market capitalization has dropped with $6 billion in a few days to the current level of $187 B.

The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, is among the worst-performing altcoins. ETH lost over 7% during the last day, and it’s currently trading at $132. Its latest hard fork, called Istanbul, was released a week ago, but it doesn’t seem to have a positive effect on the price as of yet.

Ripple’s price has been struggling for months, and now it went as low as $0,19 on Bitfinex, before bouncing back to the current level of $0,196. It broke below the strong support level at $0,215 earlier this week, and if it closes below $0,20, the next one will be at $0,185. Last time XRP was under $0,20 was back in 2017 before it skyrocketed to its all-time high of $3,80.

The situation with other major altcoins is not any different. Litecoin is below $40, EOS has lost almost 8%, and it’s at $2,34, and Binance Coin has decreased to $13,08, which is a 10% decline since yesterday. Somewhat unsurprisingly, only one digital asset is green in the top 10, and that’s Tezos. XTZ continues its positive trend as of late surging with 4.5% against BTC and 2% against the dollar.

CryptoMarket. Source: Coin360 As far Bitcoin goes, it’s down with 2.7% to $6,870 on Bitstamp but also tested the $6,800 support level, which managed to keep its stance. If it keeps going down, $6,500 is the next level, and if it reverses, the first resistance is $7,000. With so much blood in the altcoin market, BTC’s dominance is actually increasing, and it has reached 67.2%, after being at 66.4% three days ago.

Total Market Capitalization: $187 B | Bitcoin Market Capitalization: $125 B | Bitcoin Dominance: 67.2%

Major Crypto Headlines The Next Crypto Trend for Exchanges? Coinbase Is Now The Largest Tezos Validator. Tezos is quickly rising as a favorite within the community, and the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange, Coinbase, has become the largest validator for XTZ. People began wondering if this could be the newest trend and if users will be able to choose a specific baker.

The number of BTC long positions placed on Bitfinex has reached its all-time high, and it could be related to the following drop. Generally, too many open longs mean that the price of the asset is set to decrease.

Bitmain’s Miner Manufacturing Subsidiary Had $680K In Assets Frozen In a Contract Dispute. One of the largest mining companies, Bitmain, had assets worth $676,000 frozen as ordered by a district court in Shenzhen, China. The decision came after another company, Dongguan Yongjiang Electronics, filed an application for asset protection to dispute a contract with the defendant.

Significant Daily Gainers and Losers Waves (26%) WAVES rises above all other cryptocurrencies in the top 100 with its increase with 26% against the dollar, and it’s currently trading at $0.89. Moreover, it skyrockets with almost 30% against Bitcoin to 12840 SAT. The company recently published an updated explaining how Waves staking works, and it also conducted a Twitter giveaway.

Fetch.ai (12.9%) FET is next on the list, with almost 13% gain against USD. The rise to $0.05 also means that the market cap has reached $34,5 M, and with so many altcoins losing value, FET has broken into the top 100. It surges with 16% against Bitcoin to 765 SAT. The company is set to launch its mainnet today and apparently has attracted severe attention to itself.

Aurora (-27.40%) While red is the predominant color, AOA has taken the lead with its loss of over 27% in the last 24 hours. The current price is $0,0048, and the market cap has plunged to $31,7 M, which actually threatens Aurora’s place in the top 100. Oddly enough, the drop comes a day after the popular crypto exchange, Bithumb, announced a 40,000,000 AOA airdrop event to take place this week.

Internet penetration has reached so far that, currently, more than half of the world’s population has an Internet connection. Today, everything is migrating toward the Internet, including businesses, education, communication, and, of course, jobs. For example, the segment of global e-retail sales amounted to $2.8 trillion last year. You don’t need to drive to the office every day or follow corporate rules anymore; everyone is free to work online and follow their own schedule. That's why the number of freelancers increases every year; there are currently 53 million freelancers in the US alone. 

Finding a freelance job online is becoming easier, and this trend is likely to increase in the coming years. Thus it’s very important that freelancers and their employers could have a reliable platform where they could communicate, make deals, and accept payments for the work they do, minimizing the risk of fraud. 

There will always be the problem of trust. On one hand, there are a lot of malevolent people who would leave a freelancer without payment after receiving the results of his/her work. On the other hand, many people would take money with great pleasure and disappear without moving a finger to do the job they were tasked with. That's why it's necessary to have an arbitrary third party, a freelancing platform that keeps the funds in its custody when two parties agree on a task only to release it upon completion (or solve the dispute).

Undoubtedly, freelancing platforms are priceless for those who don't have regular employers and have to deal with new, unknown customers everyday. But they also have a handful of hidden problems. 

Global freelance platforms: pros and consCurrently, any freelancer can find a job that would suit his/her skills on many sites:

Upwork is a platform targeted to IT professionals  Fiverr has many different categories, but it's famous for its cheap, creative freelancers from around the world Freelancer is the oldest platform and includes many categories Peopleperhour is a lesser known platform, which can be an alternative to the previously listed ones  Guru.com has some rare categories, including legal  If you have any skills that could be sold online, there's a chance that you'll be able to find a task on any of these platforms. But there’s also a chance that you'll face problems with employers who may try to persuade you to accept other forms of payment outside of the safety of the platform, and after doing the work they will refuse to pay. Not only are the employers are abusing the system, but freelancers can often deliver low-quality work and still demand payment, as the platform only counts the fact that the task has been delivered, not that it is quality work. And to top it off, both parties face fees up to 20-30%, taken by the platforms for its middleman services.

So, the problem of trust isn’t fully solved by existing solutions. They’re good, but they have flaws. Perhaps blockchain technology could be a better alternative? 

Smart contracts improving the freelance experienceWhat is a smart contract? It’s basically a program that contains the condition of its execution. 

Person A places a reward in the form of cryptocurrency and a condition. If Person B fulfills the condition the contract is executed automatically and Person B gets the reward. 

It doesn’t require trust, so the smart contract can be created between total strangers and can involve any amount of money - both parties can be assured that the deal is safe.

For the freelance field, it's the exact thing that everyone needs. Smart contracts can bring:

Trust - Since you know for sure that the other party can’t be malicious, it locks up money in the contract in the moment of creating the contract, and if you deliver the work, you get the money released. Confidence - Freelancers can concentrate on their tasks instead of worrying about payment.  Transparency - Any smart contract can be checked. It’s publicly visible that at the certain address there’s a certain amount reserved.  So if a freelancer doesn’t believe his customer, he can take a look by himself.  Also, there are more benefits compared to centralized platforms - such as increased security. A smart contract is protected by the principle of blockchain technologies. In a brute-force attack it would take more time than our universe exists to find the correct private key containing funds. Also it’s said that the chances of hacking a wallet is equal to winning a Powerball nine times in a row. 

Decentralized freelance platformsAs blockchain technology continues to improve, more and more solutions are being introduced. We’ve picked three interesting platforms for freelancers that may serve the mission of connecting the freelance workforce with employers in the future.

The first one is Freelanex. It has the ambitious goal of creating a global, decentralized platform for all kinds of freelancers and to fight unemployment among young people. The project is integrated with Hyperledger, which is used by half of the biggest companies implementing blockchain today. Also, it uses ERC20 tokens, a universally accepted standard, as the means of payment within the platform. 

Another platform is StormX. It’s a bit different from the previous platform, because it’s designed for microtasks; participating in surveys, watching videos, trying new products, and all similar things that can be done in 5 minutes. The payments are released instantly upon task completion, from the pool reserved for a task by a person/company who creates it. The platform has its own Storm Tokens working on Ethereum network, but it also supports payouts Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

CryptoTask is a more traditional freelance platform, supporting all standard categories you may find on a centralized freelance site, such as freelancer.com. It works on the Aeternity blockchain and it targets the eastern European and African countries such as Kenya and Croatia. The platform works as a decentralized app containing a system of smart contracts, which defines how all participants interact.

For those people who want to be able to work at the legal and global platform, the most convenient solution may be the Freelanex platform, since its competitor, CryptoTask, is oriented toward non-Westernized countries. So, what advantages does Freelanex have over all the centralized platforms? 

Nobody controls your work and your earningsFreelanex aims to provide the most user-friendly experience for all participants. That’s why it doesn’t restrict payments only to cryptocurrencies like many other blockchain services do; it supports both crypto and fiat. Those users that adopt FLXC get discounts if they create tasks, or they receive more tokens if they complete tasks. Freelancers pay an 8% fee, clients pay a 10% fee, but initially after the launch the platform will be operating without any fees. So, it might be a good idea to try it as an early adopter. 

All operations get regulated by smart contracts and operate independently in a decentralized manner, which excludes the possibility of fraud from any one party. Also, there is a KYC procedure which isn’t obligatory for freelancers, but they get a FLXC bonus for completing it. 

Also, Freelanex has a very noble incentive. They say that currently there are 73 million young men and women who don’t have a job. The platform plans to establish courses and laboratories to provide free online training for those who are unemployed for free in order to promote the freelance economy and create more jobs.

The only issue we can see with the platform is the possibility of the smart contract to be hacked, as it’s often prone to human error. Smart contracts rely on blockchain security, but if they contain any security holes due to poorly written code, it can be exploited to withdraw funds from the contract. Last year, EOS users lost more than $500,000 in EOS smart contracts because of such an exploit. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a reliable and safe platform if you want to use a decentralized solution.

ConclusionThe freelance economy, or “the gig economy” as it’s often called, is growing fast. 50 years ago, people would work at one job their whole life, but now everything has changed. The job market, thanks to the Internet, has become global, and now professionals with good skills can work and earn from any place on the planet. The more people connected to the Internet, the more jobs will be created. According to Intuit, by 2020 the number of people participating in the gig economy will grow to 43%.

People use freelance earnings as a secondary income; some people freelance to increase their savings, in some poor countries it allows people to earn more than they would get working a normal day job. The gig economy even creates new jobs for those with disabilities. It’s highly probable that in the future everyone will be employed in a freelance activity. Forty-seven percent of Millennials are already calling themselves freelancers, more than any other generation, and there will be more and more young people accustomed to online work. All this workforce will need reliable platforms to communicate and interact, and blockchain will play a huge role in this future economy.

Buy and sell Bitcoin the easy way

If you are a follower of the many popular crypto accounts on Twitter you would be hard-pushed to have not seen posts about Tezos.

While many cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin included – have been performing well since the start of the year, Tezos is likely to be the one you hear about the most.

Is there a particular reason for the recent bullishness for Tezos or is this part of a wider trend in the cryptocurrency industry? Let’s start with the basics…

What is Tezos? Tezos completed its ICO in the boom of the cycle raising $232 million in the summer of 2017. Created by husband-and-wife team Arthur and Kathleen Breitman.

Tezos shares similarities to smart contract platform Ethereum. The key difference between the two lays in Arthur Breitman’s belief that Ethereum was beholding to the core developers – an argument that was prescient during the DAO hardfork – and therefore Tezos bases itself upon a self amending nature.

Holders of Tezos can vote for changes to the cryptocurrency and, should the community reach a majority decision, the changes are processed.

The launch of Tezos didn’t go very smoothly though. Issues surrounding lawsuits between members of the Tezos foundation and the Breitmans created headlines. Tezos also had to deal with the issue of whether the cryptocurrency should be classed as a security. This is a common issue with many including Siacoin and EOS which have both recently settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the US. For now, Tezos seems to be safe in this regard.

What is Tezos baking? One of the key selling points for Tezos holders is the passive profits that can be achieved by “baking” – a process similar to ‘staking’. In essence, this is equivalent to earning interest in a traditional bank account.

With Tezos being based on a ‘proof of stake’ protocol it allows for users with more than 8,000 Tezos to ‘bake’ Tezos and earn more in return. This process can be achieved by setting up your own node.

Alternatively, Tezos holders can delegate their baking rights with big cryptocurrency platforms such as Coinbase and Ledger offering the service. Ledger is offering an approximate 6% annual yield for baking Tezos through its system.

For many Tezos enthusiasts the ability to ‘bake’ on some of the largest cryptocurrency platforms is one of the key reasons that they see a positive future for the cryptocurrency.

Recent Tezos price rise Tezos has been making waves recently as the cryptocurrency has proven strong in the tumultuous market. Many of the popular traders on Twitter have shown their support for the cryptocurrency and suggested the price is only just beginning to show its true nature.

Since the start of the year Tezos has more than doubled and even got close to the lofty heights of $4 before struggling this week – much the same as the rest of the markets. Unlike many ICOs though, Tezos is intriguing because the price hasn’t struggled comparatively with the other failed projects.

Members of the community believe the option of baking on sites such as Coinbase could prove to be key if new members arrive into the cryptocurrency market, much like they did in 2017. The offer to make passive income, particularly at a time when banks are increasingly offering low interest rates, is an attractive alternative.

Conclusion As supporters of Bitcoin, Ethereum and many others continue to bicker with each other online proclaiming their chosen cryptocurrency is going to change the world, Tezos has quietly gone about it’s own business. Whether it can detach fully from other cryptocurrencies and rise when the market is falling permanently is unlikely though. Bitcoin still plays the leading role as the price signal for the rest of the cryptocurrency market.

Lisk Founder On Why This Crypto Winter Is The Best In Bitcoin’s History
ARK ARK BTC Bitcoin EOS EOS ETH Ethereum LSK Lisk LTC Litecoin PPC Peercoin SNT Status
CoinGecko News
Original source text
In March, NewsBTC sat down with Max Kordek, the founder of Lisk, to pick his brain about his project, the broader crypto and blockchain industry, and the future of Bitcoin.

Related Reading: HTC Exec: Facebook Coin is like the Intranet, Bitcoin is like the Internet The Latest On Lisk NewsBTC: Thanks for sitting down with us. For those who don’t know Lisk, can you give us a 30 second to a one-minute explanation of your project in general?

Max Kordek: Lisk is a blockchain application platform with its own crypto asset, LSK. We aim to enable devs and entrepreneurs to create their own blockchain, which is fully independent and customizable to a large degree. The second step will be interoperability, so that these independent blockchains become sidechains, which then interact with the mainchain and each other, becoming an independent part of the bigger internal ecosystem of Lisk. Our tools are based on JavaScript which taps into a fast evolving programming language, rich developer base, and open source culture. We’ve also recently diversified a section of our code to TypeScript, which will support larger application building.

NewsBTC: Cool. So why did Lisk decide to go with DPoS instead of PoW? Were there centralization risks?

Max: My journey in blockchain first began with the purchase of a Litecoin miner in 2012. Back then, I was living in this very small student apartment in Germany, which was only about 20 square meters. The small space made the miner run super hot, and after two months I had enough. Through this experience, I’ve started to develop a dislike against the kind of inefficiency and this waste of electricity that Proof of Work systems create. I then began to look into alternatives to mining. I stumbled across NXT, then Peercoin, the first viable Proof of Stake coin in existence, which I fell in love with. It was amazing to have a server, which cost $10 to $20 a month to maintain and run the network from. I got really active in that community. Eventually, Peercoin fell apart, mainly because they failed to establish an organization to actually push the technology forward.

After Peercoin, I found Crypti, which provided that central business pushing the protocol forward. It was also the first organization where I discovered the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS). However, Crypti also had its own issues with a very small team and even lower levels of funding. I decided to create something new with my partner Oliver Beddows. From the get-go, we knew it shouldn’t have anything to do with PoW. That’s how Lisk and Lightcurve came about. There are many benefits of our form of DPoS, but one of the main ones is that it is beneficial to what we specifically are building. If you want to create a blockchain platform where people can just spin up their own chains, DPoS is much easier to kickstart and safer to maintain than normal PoS. If you rely only on pure PoS, it may not be very secure, so it’s better to have delegates you can trust.

Max Kordek Delegates on the Lisk network know the codebase and the network through and through. Many of them build open source solutions and products, spot bugs on our Testnet, or migrate to critical releases in an extremely timely manner! It depends on what use case you want to implement, but having a secure network is what most of our stakeholders can agree on. As to centralization risks, there is a degree of fluidity to our network with some individuals entering and falling out of the delegated 101. We’ve also recently opened up the Lisk Improvement Proposals where both Lightcurve and community authors can submit their own proposals for how to make our consensus algorithm even better.

NewsBTC: With DPoS, EOS enlists 21 delegates and Ark, 51 delegates. So how did you come with the 101 delegate number?

Max: Dan Larimer runs EOS. Before EOS he ran Steemit and Bitshares, which utilized 101 delegates. We took the same number, which both he and Charles Hoskinson used back in the day, because it is a good balance between centralization and decentralization. 21 delegates are too few. Sure, the network is high-performance, but 21 entities controlling the network could be dangerous. 500 or 1,000, on the other hand, is too much, as such a number of delegates would cause too many inefficiencies in the network. So to put it simply, for us 101 delegates sits right in the sweet spot of the number of nodes necessary to move our blockchain forward, while the odd number gets rid of the ties by ensuring there’s always a majority on the network.

NewsBTC: What’s your vision for Lisk Academy? Do you guys want to spark adoption through education?

Max: Even after the bull market of 2017, only a few people on the street know what Bitcoin is, let alone the underlying technology of blockchain. We need to educate those who have the power to interact with blockchain, whether its building or investing. Right now, it’s not even about Lisk, but just blockchain as a technology. The next step is accessibility, meaning that we should ramp down the complexity of the blockchain ecosystem to aid the user experience. Once you educate people and they have access to the ecosystem, then you onboard them onto projects like Lisk and our SDK.

This is why we don’t attend as many conferences as Token2049 anymore. It sounds a bit bad, but we don’t want to constantly be in this kind of a crypto bubble. We need people from outside of the industry to enter. But they won’t enter without education. We just need to have a go-to place for people to learn about blockchain and Lisk. We also provide educational marketing content and documentation for developers wanting to take the next step and experiment with our technology.

Kordek’s Thoughts On The Crypto Industry NewsBTC: So do you think that education is the one thing holding back crypto adoption right now?

Max: I think many things are holding it back currently. One is definitely education. If we just don’t know or understand what it is, we won’t adopt it. Right now we need builders, who harness this technology to come up with viable use cases. And they, of course, need to know how this technology works. My mother doesn’t need to know about blockchain. But my developer colleagues who actually have the power to build need to know the ins and outs of not only blockchain technology, but also blockchain building and everything else needed to get them coding.  Another problem is use cases. People still ask, ‘what can we really achieve with this technology?’ People have no clue yet. Building on Ethereum is tough right now, but it’s the best experience in the industry by far. It isn’t optimal, so we need much better tooling and use case inspiration for developers. That, in my opinion, is why adoption has been pretty much slow.

NewsBTC: What is your end vision for this ecosystem? Do you see a world where everything is based on these technologies?

Max: I don’t think that everything will be based on blockchain. Yesterday I was on a panel discussion covering a very interesting topic — Web 3.0. It was said that blockchain is one technological level above texting (Web 3.0 v.s. 2.0). The Internet as a whole still has Web 1.0 applications, including simple internet pages and so on. Those don’t go away. And why should they? We have Web 2.0 pages, like Facebook, Twitter, etc. They will not disappear because of blockchain. So not everything will be run on blockchain, but there are quite a few processes that can be optimized with this technology. I’m a strong advocate for sure, but I just don’t see it as the golden technology that will disrupt absolutely everything. Right now, we don’t even have one use case that has reached 100,000 daily active users. Facebook, on the other hand, has one billion active users. So in the end, I see a world where blockchain really helps people in very specific industries and solutions.

NewsBTC: So you’re saying that I guess there have been there’s been very little adoption right now, but what’s one application for one use case that you think has a lot of potential?

Max: Right now, we’re still heavy in the R&D regarding which use case will be most suitable for our technology. One industry we want to start off with is definitely gaming. That’s an obvious use case right there, given opportunities for tokenization and so forth. Governmental work like notarization or traveling documentation is a pain right now that could easily be improved by blockchain. These processes can be optimized with a digital identity system that automatically checks you and is stored on the blockchain for secure and cross-border access. There are many use cases out there. In the end, we are creating technology that is customizable and scalable enough to allow many of these to be explored.

NewsBTC: How has this bear market been compared to ones seen previously?

Max: The previous ones were much worse. Bitcoin went from like $1,000 to $150, and people were saying that you should pack your bags and say your goodbyes. At that time, there was no development happening. There weren’t these global conference chains with thousands of attendees. It was really dark on Reddit. And now, we’re potentially just coming out of another crypto winter, but there are 20 to 30 meetups happening in Hong Kong this week, even more across the world. If you go on our GitHub, subscribe to Crypto Twitter, or check out big crypto publications, you can see there’s a wide range of activity going on amongst the projects that survived this crash.

There’s so much that is happening. There’s seriously much more development than any other point in blockchain’s history. So for me, the ones before were much worse economics-wise, activity-wise, and sentiment-wise. The thing is, we are patient because we see a big future ahead of this technology. This is just part of normal market cycles. The companies are getting more serious, and the first iterations of products are beginning to pop up. For example, we’re about to release our Alpha SDK, the first version of our blockchain-building toolkit that will allow developers to create proof-of-concept applications aligned with our codebase.

NewsBTC: Do you think that the crypto market is oversaturated at the moment?

Max: Well, I made my own altcoin, so it’s very hard to comment on that one. What I think is that the market overall regulates itself, especially when it feels oversaturated. You see crypto assets that are dropping lower and lower on CMC, as they have no activity, no trading volume, and that’s totally fine by me. That’s a sign that it’s oversaturated. And I assume that is why projects are dying as the market stabilizes and matures. There’s still potential for thousands and thousands more crypto assets and projects around them. I just want to see projects with an actual use case and a true focus on development. In our case, Lisk will be used for registering a sidechain. In Ethereum’s case, it can be used for smart contract execution. But why do all these other apps need a token? Status, for example, a messenger project, doesn’t really need a token. I have not looked into it in-depth, but that raises a question mark. So yeah, I think it’s saturated, but it’s regulating itself in time and legitimate technology with a good business backing stays afloat.

NewsBTC: How has the Lisk team been doing in this market cycle?

Max: Lisk is always progressing at a sustainable pace. The technology is going forward as I mentioned before with the upcoming release of our Alpha SDK. Things on the business side are playing support to the constant development – we were lucky enough to have a professionalized financial team to help us diversify our holdings. This gave us a healthy balance of fiat and crypto, which resulted in extra stability throughout this bear market. We’re also continuing to grow our business and fostering a global developer community. Our community members actually started physical developer spaces across the globe, including the Netherlands, Japan, and China. There’s a lot of activity happening on GitHub and real life!

The Future Of Bitcoin  NewsBTC: How do you expect for the crypto market to play out over 2019?

Max: I really have no idea. It could go up or down. But right now, it seems to be stabilizing very slowly. Eventually, though, there could be another, let’s call it, wick lower. I assume personally that it will continue to go up towards the end of next year. In 1.5 years is the Bitcoin halving, so the market could go up because of that. But I don’t care really. It’s not only about the money.

NewsBTC: What do you see Bitcoin as? Is it an SoV, MoE, or anything else?

Max: I think of it mainly as a store of value with complete independence of any other market. That means you can just fill up your portfolio with 1% to 2% with it, and it can act as a secure investment next to gold. I also tend to see it as a means of exchange, I bought some stuff online with BTC recently. Yesterday, I went to the Lotus Bar in Hong Kong, which accepts Bitcoin. It’s a nice thing, but I’m not going to go there every time just to use BTC. So in end, it’s more of a store of value. It’s important to add that I also see it as a stepping stone for blockchain technology overall. It may not be the most scalable, but it’s inspiring. It may not be a world currency, but it should become a means of exchange in one way or another.

NewsBTC: What do you think of the whole JP Morgan Coin or FBCoin? Do you like what they bring to the table?

Max: I know many many people who hate Mark Zuckerberg in the industry, but it’s important to remember Facebook is a tech company at the end of the day. When your company grows as large as Facebook did, it’s hard to stay true to your original ethos. Many things can go wrong. And maybe Facebook had many things go wrong this year, but it isn’t the fault of Mark Zuckerberg alone. I still think Zuckerberg has the best things in mind. I see FBCoin as an interesting concept. I’m not too sure how scalable it will be, as WhatsApp or Facebook itself has billions of users. But why not? I think it will be pretty cool, no matter if it’s decentralized, centralized, etc. As long as it uses blockchain technology, that is exactly what we want and need. JP Morgan Coin, on the other hand, is something I hate. First, they say Bitcoin is a scam, then they were revealed to have participated in the Bitcoin market, and then they suddenly come up with their own coin. At the end of the day, JP Morgan isn’t a technology company, so they shouldn’t do that. This project is just for their monetary gain. They should stick with the old economy and do their crap there. They don’t really belong here.

NewsBTC: It’s my final question. Can crypto succeed without institutional involvement, like investments from those on Wall Street?

Max: Yeah definitely. I think people are more powerful than institutions. With blockchain and Bitcoin, we’re going towards true peer-to-peer transactions and exchanges. On a global scale, this will be much more powerful than any institution in the world. Still, financial institutions are great leverage, as they can give people the power to make this whole movement. We can utilize those institutions, but we don’t need them in the end.

What-Coin? These Old Cryptos Did It First
BAT Basic Attention Token BTC Bitcoin EOS EOS ETH Ethereum NEO NEO PPC Peercoin XRP Ripple
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The crypto market is constantly in flux: brand-new cryptocurrencies regularly appear at the top of the charts, while older coins slowly fade away. While Bitcoin has been a consistent leader, the market is littered with former runners-up.

All it takes is a trip through the historical rankings to see just how transient cryptocurrencies can be. Here’s the top ten cryptocurrencies on August 25th, 2013: just about six years ago.

Via CoinMarketCap Some of these early cryptocurrencies are far more important than they seem, and today’s most popular coins owe a lot to their ancestors. Here’s a few old projects that pioneered some of today’s most popular crypto trends. We’ll start at the very beginning with the digital currencies (and proposed currencies) that preceded Bitcoin.

DigiCash And More: The BitGold To Bitcoin’s Gold Bitcoin was released in 2008, but it wasn’t the first digital currency. One of Bitcoin’s most notable precursors is David Chaum’s DigiCash, which was active from 1990 to 1998. DigiCash had cryptographic elements similar to those of Bitcoin, but it lacked Bitcoin’s defining features. Unlike Bitcoin, DigiCash didn’t use a blockchain, and it didn’t rely on mining (aka proof-of-work).

Proof-of-work grew fast, though: in the years leading up to Bitcoin’s 2008 launch, several mining-based digital currencies were suggested. Wei Dai proposed bMoney in 1998, and Nick Szabo proposed BitGold in 2005. Neither of these proposals came to fruition. However, Hashcash, a proof-of-work system dating back to 1997, was eventually used in Bitcoin’s mining scheme.

Bitcoin’s blockchain also has a number of important ancestors. In 1991, Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta developed an early distributed ledger. It was intended as a timestamping tool, and it took the form of hashes printed in the New York Times. Prior to this, Ralph Merkle invented hash trees, a key part of every blockchain.

Peercoin: An Early Proof-of-Stake Coin In 2012, Sunny King and Scott Nadal created Peercoin, the first cryptocurrency with a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. Peercoin partially relies on mining to create tokens, just like Bitcoin does, but it also distributes tokens to coinholders through its staking model. This provides extra security: Peercoin’s reliance on staking reduced the risk of mining centralization and 51% attacks.

Naturally, Peercoin’s early staking model was extremely basic, and it doesn’t solve the nothing-at-stake problem. In other words, validators have no reason not to behave maliciously.

Newer coins try to solve this problem: NEO and EOS allow stakeholders to vote for just a few trusted validators, for example. Ethereum, meanwhile, plans to keep validators in line with complex incentives and penalties as it transitions towards proof-of-stake.

Colored Coins: Tokenization Before Ethereum Long before Vitalik Buterin dreamed up the word “Ethereum,” simple tokens already existed on Bitcoin. The most elemental forms were “colored coins,” which allow users to represent assets as custom tokens.

Early implementations for Bitcoin-based colored coins began to appear in 2012. More popular implementations appeared later, including EPOBC, Open Assets and Coinprism. The Omni Layer also provides a basis for custom Bitcoin tokens, but it isn’t always considered a colored coin system.

In any case, Bitcoin’s colored coins were quickly overshadowed by Ethereum. Since 2015, over 200,000 tokens have been created on Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard. Ethereum also offers token standards for special assets, such as security tokens and cryptocollectibles. Countless other blockchains, such as Binance Chain, are also aiming to provide similar tokenization features.

Devcoin: Crypto Rewards Before BAT and Steemit Devcoin was created in 2011 as a reward token for developers, artists, and content creators. Although Devcoin is produced through mining, like Bitcoin, it also offers built-in features that facilitate payments to creators. In particular, Devcoin coordinates payments through “receiver files,” which are hosted by creators who release their work under free licenses.

Devcoin is no longer popular, but some of its features can be found in other crypto reward projects. Brave, for example, requires websites to host special files in order to receive Basic Attention Token payouts. Meanwhile, Coil, which relies on XRP and Interledger, requires content creators to edit their web page’s metadata. Steemit is also a popular crypto-based reward platform.

Are Classic Coins Still Relevant? Some of these projects are still active – but they’re not very prominent. In January 2014, there were just 67 cryptocurrencies listed on CoinMarketCap. Peercoin ranked #4, Omni was at #5, and Devcoin was at #19. But now, there are thousands of coins, and competition is brutal: Peercoin currently ranks at #245, Omni is at #750, and Devcoin doesn’t even get a number.

It’s possible that this pattern will repeat itself—perhaps in five years, people will forget about many of today’s most popular cryptocurrencies. But for all the talk about Bitcoin killers and Ethereum killers, today’s market leaders don’t seem to be under threat. Only time will tell whether the top coins can maintain their lead.

$6.4 Billion Worth of Crypto Is Being Staked, According to Binance Research
BTC Bitcoin BTS BitShares EOS EOS ETH Ethereum PPC Peercoin TRX Tron XLM Stellar Lumens
CoinGecko News
Original source text
A recent report by Binance Research shows that $6.4 billion worth of cryptocurrency is being staked. As staking systems have grown, more and more people have been drawn to them because of the potential rewards. However, it’s worth noting that staking has some hidden risks as well.

The Proof of Stake Situation Some of the most notable cryptocurrencies are based on a Proof of Stake algorithm, and they have drawn a significant amount of cryptocurrency to be staked on their networks, according to a recent Binance report. As of the 24th of October, $6.4 billion was reportedly being staked out of $11.2 billion, which is the total cumulative staking market capitalization. That number could increase when Ethereum’s long-anticipated transition to PoS is finally executed.

Some of the most popular cryptocurrencies that are based on PoS are EOS (market cap: $2.6B), Stellar ($1.2B), and TRON ($1.0B). Each of them requires a different amount of coins to be staked, and their yield percentages vary as well. According to the report, Synthetix Network and Energi had the highest yields, 61.9% and 31.4% respectively.

Staking Yields. Source: Binance Research However, higher yield percentages could also mean a higher inflation rate across the network and more risks.

It’s worth noting that the report accounts for numbers up until October 24th. Since then, the cryptocurrency market has surged and the market capitalization of these currencies has increased.

Staking: How Does It Work? The two major hashing algorithms are Proof of Work (with Bitcoin as the most notable example) and Proof of Stake. The governance of these network types are particularly different, as the latter requires users to “stake” a certain amount of crypto in order to participate in the decision-making process.

In other words, an investor “locks” a specific amount of PoS-based coins to support the operations of that blockchain network with the promise of receiving rewards. Those rewards are usually distributed proportionately among all participants who have “staked” tokens on the network. It actually resembles the traditional financial markets, as PoS relates to concepts such as interest rates and currency risks.

Initially, PoS was implemented by Peercoin years ago and has since evolved into variations such as Delegated Proof of Stake. DPoS was introduced in BitShares and is currently used by projects like Atom and EOS. Other variations include the distribution model (Stellar) and dual-coin systems (NEO/GAS).

Coinbase Says Goodbye to 5 Altcoins: Prices Collapse Instantly
EOS EOS
CoinGecko News
Original source text
EOS - a cryptocurrency, whose market cap surpassed $2 billion last year - is among the delisted ones.

The leading US-based cryptocurrency exchange has decided to terminate all trading services for five digital assets. The announcement resulted in substantial price declines for the affected tokens.

Interestingly, many users applauded the move, describing some of the scrapped coins as scams and rug pulls.

The Departing Ones Coinbase regularly monitors the tokens listed on the platform to ensure they meet all necessary standards. Based on the recent reviews, the team decided to suspend trading for Clover Finance (CLV), EOS (EOS), League of Kingdoms Arena (LOKA), Muse Dao (MUSE), and Wrapped Centrifuge (WCFG). The delisting will happen on November 26, and the coins will be removed from the official website, Coinbase Exchange, and Coinbase Prime.

“We have moved our order books for these assets to limit-only mode. Limit orders can be placed and canceled, and matches may occur,” the company clarified.

Such actions are generally negative for the affected cryptocurrencies since they reduce their liquidity and accessibility and cause reputational damage. That said, it comes as no surprise that all of those are in red territory today (November 11).

Muse Dao (MUSE) took the biggest blow, crashing by 24% over the past 24 hours. LOKA retraced by 13%, WCFG slipped by 9%, whereas the rest witnessed less substantial losses.

Some X users commenting on the post congratulated Coinbase for its decision, suggesting it will help remove tokens with questionable use cases or those that have failed to meet expectations. The bashing manifest is primarily focused on EOS, which was labeled as a “rug pull,” and LOKA, described as “trash.”

The Opposite Effect Contrary to delisting tokens that don’t meet certain criteria, Coinbase is always on the lookout to add new promising assets to its platform. In July, it placed BankrCoin (BNKR), Jito Staked SOL (JITOSOL), and Metaplex (MPLX) on its roadmap (which serves as a pre-listing stage).

Surprisingly, JITOSOL did not benefit the same way and headed south after the disclosure.

A month ago, Coinbase made a somewhat surprising move by including BNB on its roadmap. This shocked some industry participants because BNB is the native token of the exchange’s biggest competitor, Binance, and it may lead to the endorsement of its rival’s ecosystem.

Nonetheless, Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, saw nothing unusual. He reminded that Binance has listed several products part of Coinbase’s ecosystem over the years, urging its competitor to embrace even more BNB Chain projects.

DA Davidson Raises Micron’s Price Target to $2,000, Retains Buy Rating

U.S. investment bank DA Davidson released a research note stating that Micron Technology has entered a new phase with one of the best performance visibility in the semiconductor industry, a stark contrast to its past standing in the sector. Driven by another quarter of results that handily exceeded expectations and positive forward guidance, Micron’s stock price surged sharply. These signals indicate that the current memory chip boom cycle is far from over. While the company is ramping up capacity investments (with capital expenditure (CAPEX) projected to hit $10 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, which will bring additional supply), management expects the memory market to remain tight on supply and demand at least through 2027. Against this backdrop, DA Davidson reiterated its "Buy" rating on Micron and raised its price target from $1,500 to $2,000, equivalent to a 20x price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio based on the company’s 2026 calendar year expected earnings per share (EPS).

Morgan Stanley raises Micron's price target to $1,200, maintains 'Overweight' rating.

Morgan Stanley released a report raising Micron Technology (MU.O)’s price target from $1,050 to $1,200, while maintaining an "Overweight" rating. The investment bank lifted its fiscal 2027 earnings per share (EPS) forecast for the chipmaker by roughly 40% to $168, and upgraded its free cash flow (FCF) projection from $104 billion to $140 billion. Aligning with Micron’s management, the bank holds that AI will push DRAM demand to consistently outpace supply significantly after 2027. Micron’s last fiscal quarter results matched this trend, with both its quarterly performance and outlook showing notable upside potential.

CBRS trades below IPO price post-earnings: Erases all gains six weeks after listing, two smart money firms net $5.8 million from first-day IPO shorts.

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, Cerebras (CBRS), the AI chip firm previously dubbed "Nvidia’s strongest challenger", saw its stock price fall in stages after reporting its first quarterly results since going public, as negative guidance overshadowed better-than-expected performance. The stock has dropped roughly 22% since the earnings release and officially broke below its IPO price today. On-chain whales are overall bearish. CBRS trades at $184 on the Hyperliquid platform, down 7.7% in 24 hours. Large-scale short positions (million-dollar level) total around $11.62 million, 2.39 times the long positions ($4.87 million). Two major short positions were placed precisely at high levels as early as the IPO day or even before the IPO: - Whale 0xe0ff: Shorted at $284.51 on May 14 with a 3x leveraged position of $6.13 million, generating an unrealized profit of $3.24 million (+104%); - Whale 0x9996: Shorted at $275.92 on May 11 with a 5x leveraged position of $5.48 million, generating an unrealized profit of $2.64 million (+162%). It is learned that both addresses currently hold short positions in both CBRS and SPCX, and have recorded substantial unrealized profits, preferring to place short positions at high levels before or on the day of major stock listings. With the realization of negative earnings news in this round, the combined unrealized profit of the two positions is around $5.88 million. Currently, the average entry price of CBRS short whales is around $275, and the current price is over 30% lower than that. The nearest short liquidation line is at $200.13, about 7% away from the current price.

Multiple high-performing domestic public mutual fund products have tightened their purchase restrictions.

E Fund Management announced in its latest filing that the E Fund Information Industry Select Fund, managed by Zheng Xi, has cut its purchase limit to 10,000 yuan. The same purchase limit reduction to 10,000 yuan applies to another fund under his management, E Fund Information Industry Fund, while E Fund Global Growth Select Hybrid Fund (QDII) has lowered its purchase limit to 10 yuan. In addition, Guolianan Preferred Industry Fund, Harvest Tech Innovation Fund, and Principal Performance-Driven Fund have also announced purchase limits or adjustments to their limits recently. Jin Zicai, a fund manager closely watched by the market, imposed additional purchase limits on multiple public offering funds under his management, with the four funds involved cutting their purchase limits to 500 yuan starting June 23. Purchase limits on high-performing funds likely stem from multiple considerations: they can avoid return dilution caused by short-term concentrated subscriptions, and proactive limits during overheated market conditions also send risk warning signals to the market. As the first half of the year draws to a close, such moves have become increasingly frequent. Overall, Wind data shows that since June alone, 19 funds with year-to-date net asset value returns exceeding 90% have suspended large subscriptions or adjusted their purchase caps.

Posted November 13, 2025 at 8:47 am EST.

Blockchain researchers at Bybit’s ‘Lazarus Security Lab’ have found that 16 blockchains have the ability to freeze user funds.

Five chains, including BNB Chain and VeChain, were hardcoded with freezing capabilities at the protocol level.

Prominent layer 1 blockchains Aptos, EOS and Sui were among the 10 networks with a config-based freezing capability, meaning validators or foundations can restrict accounts.

This story is an excerpt from the Unchained Daily newsletter.

Bybit’s research also suggested that an additional 19 blockchains, including Arbitrum, Cosmos, Axelar, Babylon, Celestia, and Kava, could easily implement these controls if desired.

“The presence of these mechanisms fundamentally challenges the foundational principles of a decentralized ecosystem and necessitates further discourse within the blockchain community, but it has prevented hackers from stealing funds,” noted the researchers.

Jiuzi taps EOS to launch global $3b crypto storage push
EOS EOS
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Jiuzi Holdings is deepening its digital assets presence, announcing a partnership with Exsat Network, a core organization within the EOS crypto ecosystem, to build a global cryptocurrency custody business that could scale to $3 billion.

Summary

Jiuzi partnered with Exsat, part of the EOS ecosystem, to build a global cryptocurrency custody business that could scale to $3 billion. The venture targets regulated, institutional-grade crypto storage and related services such as settlement and yield products. The deal positions Jiuzi deeper in digital assets as institutional demand grows and could boost its profile—and valuation—in the crypto market. Under the agreement, the two companies plan to develop institutional-grade crypto storage and custody services aimed at global clients, including institutions and high-net-worth investors. The focus will be on securely holding digital assets and offering related services such as settlement, yield strategies, and other products tied to custodied crypto.

Exsat will provide the technical backbone, drawing on its experience with blockchain infrastructure, wallets, and security systems. Nasdaq-listed Jiuzi, meanwhile, is positioning the deal as a key step in its broader strategy that blends energy, financial technology, and digital assets.

Company executives said the partnership marks a major expansion into higher-end crypto services and could open a new growth channel over the next several years. Exsat said Jiuzi’s experience operating as a Nasdaq-listed company and its compliance-focused approach made it a strong partner.

The deal comes about two months after Hangzhou, China-based Jiuzi partnered with BitFi to access a $2.75 billion Bitcoin asset pool and launch yield-generating strategies.

Meanwhile, demand for regulated crypto custody continues to rise, driven by institutional investors seeking safer and more compliant ways to hold digital assets. Market watchers say aligning with a long-standing blockchain ecosystem like EOS could strengthen Jiuzi’s profile in the crowded digital asset space—and potentially reshape how investors value the stock.

Best Crypto Investment: Why ZKP’s Fair Auction beats Monero, Stellar, and EOS for 15,000x Return Potential!
BTC Bitcoin EOS EOS ETH Ethereum XLM Stellar Lumens XMR Monero
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Bitcoin dropped from $47,300 to $45,900 this week, while Ethereum fell 4.2%, trading near $2,940. Many altcoins followed with muted or negative moves. In these conditions, price stalls often come from one factor: supply pressure. Early token unlocks, venture capital exits, and foundation distributions quietly weigh on prices long before momentum can take hold.

Not all projects carry this burden. Some are designed to avoid it completely. Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is one of them. Its presale auction is live, token prices are climbing, and early participants join a system with no insider sell pressure. Established projects like Monero, Stellar, and EOS follow very different supply paths that can limit upside.

Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is currently in a live presale auction, with the system fully built and active from day one. The project launched without private rounds, venture capital, or early token unlocks. Over $100 million was self-funded by the founding team to cover infrastructure, compute systems, Proof Pod hardware, and the auction framework.

This structure is crucial because insider supply is one of the main reasons prices fail to move after launch. ZKP eliminates that risk entirely. Every participant joins through the same public auction, distributing 200 million tokens daily under a fixed formula. No discounts. No hidden allocations. No preferred access.

The auction is capped at 450 days, releasing supply steadily and transparently. Each day’s allocation is final. Miss a day, and that supply is gone. Rising demand has already pushed token prices higher, creating momentum from participation rather than speculation.

For early investors, this creates asymmetric upside. With no early sellers and utility launching alongside the token, ZKP is often discussed as a best crypto investment with potential 15,000x ROI if the network scales. The difference is clear: price discovery happens publicly, not behind closed doors.

Monero (XMR) Monero is known for its privacy-focused design, using stealth addresses and ring signatures to anonymize transactions. While it has a dedicated user base, its supply structure introduces constant selling pressure through mining rewards.

Liquidity is also limited. Regulatory challenges have led to delistings on major exchanges, restricting new capital inflow. While Monero avoids VC unlocks, its emission schedule still releases new tokens daily. In strong markets, this pressure can be absorbed, but in cautious markets, it often weighs on price action.

Stellar (XLM) Stellar has established partnerships in cross-border payments and worked with institutions on settlement and CBDC pilots. Its technology is efficient, and goals are clear. Yet price performance has struggled to remain consistent.

A major factor is supply overhang. Large token reserves held by the Stellar Development Foundation create uncertainty about future distribution. Even earmarked tokens can affect market expectations, limiting upside, especially for new investors entering later cycles.

EOS raised over $4 billion during its ICO, making it one of the most heavily funded crypto projects. Despite this, governance issues, developer turnover, and declining engagement created structural problems.

Early token holders bought at very low prices, creating long-term selling pressure as the network grew. This mismatch between early and later participants limited momentum. EOS remains active but has not recovered its earlier gains, showing how heavy early funding can distort incentives over time.

Why Structure Matters More Than Hype Hidden supply pressure often determines which projects advance and which stall. Mining emissions, foundation reserves, and early investor unlocks all affect price action. Monero, Stellar, and EOS face these pressures in different ways.

Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) avoided them entirely. With no insiders, no unlock schedules, and infrastructure already funded, the market sees a clean supply curve and rising demand. As the presale auction continues and prices move higher, ZKP stands out as the best crypto investment built on a strong structure rather than hype, giving early participants the chance for outsized returns instead of diluted gains.

Guide to EOS Casinos Before we delve into the exciting world of EOS crypto casinos, let’s take a moment to understand what EOS cryptocurrency is all about.

EOS is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build decentralized applications (DApps). It aims to overcome the scalability issues faced by major cryptocurrencies, offering faster transaction speeds and higher throughput.

EOS stands out in the cryptocurrency space due to its unique consensus mechanism known as delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS).

This innovative approach allows EOS to achieve fast confirmation times and efficient transaction processing, making it an attractive option for developers and users alike. With DPoS, EOS holders can vote for block producers who are responsible for validating transactions and securing the network.

What is EOS? EOS, founded by Dan Larimer, is a blockchain-based platform designed to support the development, hosting, and execution of DApps. It operates on a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, which allows for fast confirmation times and efficient transaction processing.

One of the key features of EOS is its scalability. Unlike some other blockchain platforms that struggle with slow transaction speeds and high fees during times of network congestion, EOS can handle a large number of transactions per second, making it ideal for applications that require high performance.

How Does EOS Work in Online Gambling? Now that we have a basic understanding of EOS, let’s explore how it works in the context of online gambling. EOS enables secure and transparent transactions in EOS casinos, providing players with a seamless gaming experience.

By using EOS as a payment method, users can enjoy instant deposits and withdrawals, ensuring quick and hassle-free transactions.

The use of smart contracts on the EOS platform ensures that online gambling activities are conducted fairly and transparently. Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code.

In the case of EOS casinos, smart contracts help automate processes such as payouts, ensuring that winnings are distributed accurately and without delays.

LuckyBlock has some great bonuses for new players The Rise of Crypto Casinos Crypto casinos have gained immense popularity in recent years and for several good reasons. Let’s explore why these online gambling sites are capturing the attention of both experienced gamblers and newcomers alike.

These digital gambling platforms operate using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or EOS, instead of traditional fiat currencies.

This innovative approach brings a host of benefits to the table, making them an attractive option for players worldwide.

Why Crypto Casinos are Gaining Popularity Crypto casinos offer several advantages over traditional online casinos.

Firstly, they provide enhanced privacy and security through the use of blockchain technology. Transactions are encrypted and decentralized, eliminating the need to share sensitive personal and financial information with the casino. The decentralized nature of blockchain technology ensures that no single entity has control over the outcome of games. This transparency and fairness are particularly appealing to players who have grown skeptical of traditional online casinos, where the house always seems to have the upper hand. Crypto casinos often offer provably fair games, which allows players to verify the fairness of each game. This transparency increases trust and confidence in the platform, making it more attractive to gamblers. Crypto casinos enable seamless and anonymous transactions. Players can deposit and withdraw funds quickly, without the need for lengthy verification processes or third-party intermediaries. This convenience is a game-changer for many players, especially those who value their privacy and prefer to keep their gambling activities discreet. MetaWins is a top crypto-native casino The Benefits of Using EOS in Crypto Casinos When it comes to EOS crypto casinos, there are specific benefits that make them stand out from the crowd.

First and foremost, the speed and scalability of EOS blockchain ensure fast transaction processing and minimal fees. This means that players can enjoy uninterrupted gaming sessions without waiting for transactions to be confirmed or worrying about high transaction costs.

EOS offers a user-friendly environment for DApp developers, allowing them to create unique and innovative casino games. As a result, EOS casinos often boast a diverse selection of games, ranging from classic casino favorites to cutting-edge blockchain-based games.

The EOS blockchain’s smart contract capabilities enable the implementation of loyalty programs and rewards systems, further enhancing the player experience. These features not only incentivize players to keep coming back but also foster a sense of community within the crypto casino ecosystem.

Evaluating EOS Crypto Casinos With the growing number of EOS crypto casinos, it’s essential to know how to evaluate and choose the right platform for your gambling needs. Here are some key features to look for when considering an EOS casino:

User-friendly interface: A well-designed and intuitive interface enhances the overall gaming experience. Empire is one of our favourite crypto casinos! Security Measures in EOS Crypto Casinos When gambling with EOS, it’s crucial to prioritize safety and security. Reputable EOS crypto casinos employ various security measures to protect users and their funds.

These may include two-factor authentication (2FA), cold storage wallets to store user funds offline, and regular audits to ensure the platform’s integrity.

Benefits of Joining Loyalty Programs One additional aspect to consider when evaluating EOS crypto casinos is their loyalty programs. Many casinos offer loyalty rewards to frequent players, such as cashback bonuses, exclusive promotions, and VIP treatment.

By participating in these programs, players can maximize their gaming experience and potentially earn additional rewards based on their level of activity.

Loyalty programs often come with additional perks like faster withdrawals, dedicated customer support, and access to special events or tournaments.

These benefits can enhance the overall enjoyment of playing at an EOS crypto casino and provide players with added incentives to continue using the platform.

US Judge Denies Binance's Arbitration Request, Users Can Sue in Court Over Pre-2019 Tokens Claim

DA Davidson Raises Micron’s Price Target to $2,000, Retains Buy Rating

U.S. investment bank DA Davidson released a research note stating that Micron Technology has entered a new phase with one of the best performance visibility in the semiconductor industry, a stark contrast to its past standing in the sector. Driven by another quarter of results that handily exceeded expectations and positive forward guidance, Micron’s stock price surged sharply. These signals indicate that the current memory chip boom cycle is far from over. While the company is ramping up capacity investments (with capital expenditure (CAPEX) projected to hit $10 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, which will bring additional supply), management expects the memory market to remain tight on supply and demand at least through 2027. Against this backdrop, DA Davidson reiterated its "Buy" rating on Micron and raised its price target from $1,500 to $2,000, equivalent to a 20x price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio based on the company’s 2026 calendar year expected earnings per share (EPS).

Morgan Stanley raises Micron's price target to $1,200, maintains 'Overweight' rating.

Morgan Stanley released a report raising Micron Technology (MU.O)’s price target from $1,050 to $1,200, while maintaining an "Overweight" rating. The investment bank lifted its fiscal 2027 earnings per share (EPS) forecast for the chipmaker by roughly 40% to $168, and upgraded its free cash flow (FCF) projection from $104 billion to $140 billion. Aligning with Micron’s management, the bank holds that AI will push DRAM demand to consistently outpace supply significantly after 2027. Micron’s last fiscal quarter results matched this trend, with both its quarterly performance and outlook showing notable upside potential.

CBRS trades below IPO price post-earnings: Erases all gains six weeks after listing, two smart money firms net $5.8 million from first-day IPO shorts.

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, Cerebras (CBRS), the AI chip firm previously dubbed "Nvidia’s strongest challenger", saw its stock price fall in stages after reporting its first quarterly results since going public, as negative guidance overshadowed better-than-expected performance. The stock has dropped roughly 22% since the earnings release and officially broke below its IPO price today. On-chain whales are overall bearish. CBRS trades at $184 on the Hyperliquid platform, down 7.7% in 24 hours. Large-scale short positions (million-dollar level) total around $11.62 million, 2.39 times the long positions ($4.87 million). Two major short positions were placed precisely at high levels as early as the IPO day or even before the IPO: - Whale 0xe0ff: Shorted at $284.51 on May 14 with a 3x leveraged position of $6.13 million, generating an unrealized profit of $3.24 million (+104%); - Whale 0x9996: Shorted at $275.92 on May 11 with a 5x leveraged position of $5.48 million, generating an unrealized profit of $2.64 million (+162%). It is learned that both addresses currently hold short positions in both CBRS and SPCX, and have recorded substantial unrealized profits, preferring to place short positions at high levels before or on the day of major stock listings. With the realization of negative earnings news in this round, the combined unrealized profit of the two positions is around $5.88 million. Currently, the average entry price of CBRS short whales is around $275, and the current price is over 30% lower than that. The nearest short liquidation line is at $200.13, about 7% away from the current price.

Multiple high-performing domestic public mutual fund products have tightened their purchase restrictions.

E Fund Management announced in its latest filing that the E Fund Information Industry Select Fund, managed by Zheng Xi, has cut its purchase limit to 10,000 yuan. The same purchase limit reduction to 10,000 yuan applies to another fund under his management, E Fund Information Industry Fund, while E Fund Global Growth Select Hybrid Fund (QDII) has lowered its purchase limit to 10 yuan. In addition, Guolianan Preferred Industry Fund, Harvest Tech Innovation Fund, and Principal Performance-Driven Fund have also announced purchase limits or adjustments to their limits recently. Jin Zicai, a fund manager closely watched by the market, imposed additional purchase limits on multiple public offering funds under his management, with the four funds involved cutting their purchase limits to 500 yuan starting June 23. Purchase limits on high-performing funds likely stem from multiple considerations: they can avoid return dilution caused by short-term concentrated subscriptions, and proactive limits during overheated market conditions also send risk warning signals to the market. As the first half of the year draws to a close, such moves have become increasingly frequent. Overall, Wind data shows that since June alone, 19 funds with year-to-date net asset value returns exceeding 90% have suspended large subscriptions or adjusted their purchase caps.

A US judge rejected Binance's request to resolve customer claims through arbitration.

CoinGecko News
Original source text
PANews reported on February 27 that, according to Reuters, U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter in Manhattan ruled on Thursday to dismiss Binance's request to resolve customer claims through arbitration. These customers accused Binance of illegally selling unregistered tokens that had significantly depreciated in value. The judge held that Binance failed to adequately inform users that the terms of claims arising before February 20, 2019, had been amended to mandate arbitration and waive the right to class-action lawsuits; therefore, the claims could proceed in court.

The judge pointed out that there was no evidence that Binance had "published" the arbitration clause, and that the class-action exemption in its 2019 Terms of Use was vague and unenforceable. A Binance spokesperson responded that they would actively defend the remaining valid claims in the case. Founder Changpeng Zhao is also a defendant. Customers filed the lawsuit against Binance for losses on seven tokens, including ELF and EOS, accusing the company of failing to warn of significant risks as required by securities laws. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2022 but was resumed by the appeals court in 2024.

US Judge Rejects Binance’s Arbitration Request in Case Involving 7 Altcoins! Here Are the Details
EOS EOS REQ Request
CoinGecko News
Original source text
27.02.2026 - 15:55

Update: 27.02.2026 - 15:55

Binance received bad news from the US. A US judge rejected Binance’s arbitration request.

District Judge Andrew Carter of the Southern District of New York ruled that Binance does not have the authority to compel U.S. users to arbitrate for damages arising from cryptocurrency purchases made on its platform before February 20, 2019.

However, the judge ruled that the ongoing class action lawsuit would be heard publicly in federal court.

Therefore, customers who accuse Binance of selling unregistered tokens will be able to pursue damages claims arising before February 20, 2019, in court.

The judge, in his review, found that Binance unilaterally updated its Terms of Use in 2019, amending the terms to include a waiver of the right to arbitration and the right to class action, without notifying customers of this change.

The ruling also stated that there was no evidence that Binance had announced the arbitration order or explained to customers where this order could be found in its terms of use.

According to the judge, since the terms of use in 2017 did not include arbitration or class action waiver provisions, the changes made in 2019 cannot be applied retroactively to claims relating to periods prior to that date.

The class-action lawsuit known as Williams v. Binance was filed by five US investors from California, Nevada, and Texas, alleging that Binance and its founder, CZ, illegally sold unregistered securities and failed to register as brokerage firms. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2022, but in 2024 the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals remanded it back to the lower court.

In the retrial, Judge Carter rejected Binance’s request for arbitration, while Binance stated that the plaintiffs had voluntarily withdrawn claims arising after February 20, 2019, and that the company would continue to defend against the remaining claims.

This decision allows users to file lawsuits for damages incurred before February 20, 2019, and for the case to be heard publicly. Altcoins named in the lawsuit include ELF, EOS, FUN, ICX, OMG, QSP, and TRX.

Ethereum Crisis or Overblown FUD? Tom Lee Rejects Funding Fears
EOS EOS ETH Ethereum
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Tom Lee rejected warnings that core Ethereum development could face a funding crisis within nine months. “Zero chance” of a crisis, according to him.

These comments come as pressure builds on the Ethereum Foundation, where senior staff have been leaving, and concerns over long-term funding are growing. A former contributor who helped build Ethereum’s main outside funding vehicle now says core development needs about $30 million a year.

What Sparked the Ethereum Funding FearsTrent Van Epps, who spent five years coordinating core protocol funding at the Ethereum Foundation, warned that development could slide into a slow-burning crisis within 3 to 9 months.

My latest article on Ethereum institutions (past, present, and future) and their political economy:

– Subtraction and Legitimacy
– The Funding Crisis
– Succession Planning

I believe this is a critical time to establish institutions for our next decade, and beyond. https://t.co/Cm3c4BKDj2

— trent.eth (@trent_vanepps) June 18, 2026 He flagged two sources tightening at once:

The Client Incentive Program, a four-year initiative that paid client teams from staking rewards, expired in April with no successor. The Foundation is separately winding annual treasury spending from 15% toward a 5% baseline over five years, a path set by its own June 2025 policy. The warning carries weight because Van Epps co-founded Protocol Guild, the main vehicle for funding core contributors outside the Foundation.

It vests donated project tokens to a curated list of developers and asks projects to pledge 1% of their supply, money that helps cover the network’s client teams and researchers.

Foundation Departures Deepen the UneaseThe turmoil reaches the top. Hsiao-Wei Wang, who authored that treasury policy, stepped down as co-executive director on June 18, months after her counterpart Tomasz Stańczak exited in February.

“After my sabbatical, I have decided to step down as co-executive director and board member of the Ethereum Foundation effective today,” Wang stated.

Both co-director seats have now turned over this year.

At least eight senior staff members have left in the past five months, fueling debate over the foundation’s direction.

.@hwwonx has been a steadfast contributor to the Ethereum ecosystem for a decade. I still remember her early days in the Ethereum research community, first outside the Foundation and then inside it, and the thought and care she put into making Ethereum research and consensus work…

— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) June 18, 2026 Board member Bastian Aue is serving in an interim capacity, while researcher Dankrad Feist tied the losses to management, not strategy.

“The problem isn’t with the strategy, it’s with management. And this exodus of talent is truly bearish for Ethereum, sadly.”

Why Tom Lee Sees No CrisisLee chairs BitMine Immersion Technologies, the largest corporate Ethereum treasury, which holds more than 5 million ETH and is staking toward a target of 5% of all supply.

“In my opinion, zero chance of this ‘crisis’ happening for $ETH zero ‘Funding secured'”

Bulls add that independent client teams, and Van Epps’ own Protocol Guild, keep core work going without the Foundation.

Skeptics are not convinced. Investor Virtual Bacon argued that layer-1 networks rarely die from a lack of money but stall when builders stop building, citing EOS and Cosmos as projects that faded after talent left.

“…two co-EDs out plus a funding warning at once, not one exit. Cosmos and Eos had builders too, they stalled when the will went. ETH might survive it, no L1 has yet,” he added.
