Russia Says BRICS Currency Unlikely in Near Future but De-Dollarization Grows Globally Russia says that a common BRICS currency is unlikely to be feasible in the near future but the process of de-dollarization of the global economy is inexorably underway.

The BRICS nations comprise Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The summit will take place from Aug. 22-24 in Johannesburg.

The SEC’s Case Against Ripple Could Result in a Massive Win for the Crypto Company XRP – the native digital token of crypto firm Ripple – experienced a sharp price hike in late March after several investors and fans felt they had reason to believe Ripple could potentially win its ongoing court case with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Could Ripple Beat the SEC?The SEC has made a habit out of attacking virtually every single digital currency company over the last six or seven years. The agency is going after every firm that took part in token offerings or provided interest or other rewards through token investments. The idea is that these tokens are securities, and thus the firms in question did not follow present SEC regulations when issuing said currencies to traders. One of the companies that the SEC has been targeting hard over the past few years is Ripple. Many crypto investors pointed out a supplemental notice issued by Monica Long – the current president of Ripple – saying that she and her fellow executives are very hopeful that the SEC case will result in a win for the digital currency firm. She confirmed in the notice that the “facts and the law” were on the side of Ripple, and that she doesn’t believe the ruling judge will take the side of the SEC.

Much of the World’s Bitcoin Has Been Asleep Lately It appears many of the world’s bitcoin units have “gone to sleep” over the past six months. A statement like this is not meant to be taken literally, but it appears there are several units of the world’s number one digital currency that have gone “dormant” in the last half year. $370 Billion in Bitcoin Has Been DormantWhat this means is that a good portion of the bitcoin supply hasn’t moved. It hasn’t taken part in transactions, it hasn’t changed wallets, nothing has happened. As much as $370 billion in bitcoin has remained perfectly still, and this is to be expected following a long and bearish period like what we saw in 2022. That year was arguably the worst on record for bitcoin and its many crypto cousins. The world’s primary form of crypto took on new form in November of 2021 when it hit a new all-time high of about $68,000 per unit. Things, however, went downhill from there when the currency chose to enter a 12-month bear period in which it lost more than 70 percent of its overall value. By the end of 2022, the currency was trading in the mid-$16K range. It was a sad and ugly sight to see.

US Federal Trade Commission Investigates Marketing Schemes of Crypto Firm Voyager According to a court document filed recently in the Voyager Digital bankruptcy case, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating the marketing of the crypto firm. Like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the FTC has objected to Binance US purchasing Voyager’s assets. FTC’s Objection to Voyager’s Proposed Sale Plan Could Impact BankruptcyIn a filing in bankruptcy court registered on Feb. 22, 2023, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) detailed that it is investigating the marketing schemes of the crypto firm Voyager Digital. “The FTC has commenced an investigation into certain acts and practices of [Voyager] and [the] debtors’ employees, directors, and officers, for their deceptive and unfair marketing of cryptocurrency to the public,” the complaint explains. The FTC filing says the proposed sale of the debtor’s assets would interfere with the current probe, which could essentially discharge Voyager and specific staff members from alleged “fraud-related debts held by a governmental unit.” The FTC is not the only government agency investigating Voyager. Texas’s securities regulator and attorney general objected to FTX purchasing Voyager prior to FTX’s collapse.

Cumberland Sees Massive OTC Moves During Crypto Market Rout — ‘Most Volume We’ve Seen This Year’ During the last week, while crypto markets got hammered, digital currency-centric over-the-counter (OTC) trading desks were swamped with orders. The cryptocurrency OTC trading desk Cumberland, a subsidiary of DRW, explained that on June 13, the firm saw 30% more volume than the previous year-to-date high on May 13. Cumberland Says ‘On Big Swings, More Volume Tends to Come to OTC Desks’Over-the-counter (OTC) trading desks allow high-net-worth crypto traders to trade coins without affecting spot markets as much as they would trading on a traditional exchange. OTC trading desks also provide liquidity for big buyers that smaller exchanges cannot provide. A number of companies offer OTC services to crypto traders like Kraken OTC, Falconx, Cumberland, Athena Investment Services, Crypto Desk, B2C2, Bankhaus Scheich, Bitpanda Plus, and Coin Cola.Amid the recent crypto market carnage, the DRW company Cumberland tweeted about the firm’s OTC flow during the past week and let people in on some of the moves that were made. “The most frequent question we’re asked on weeks like this is ‘what does the flow look like?’” Cumberland tweeted on June 14. “OTC flow gives some insights into how the market is handling these major moves,” the OTC trading desk added. Cumberland was founded in 2014, and over the last few years, it has become one of the top OTC desks worldwide.When Cumberland first started, news reports noted that the company was able to acquire massive amounts of bitcoin (BTC) via a few U.S. Marshalls’ operated auctions. Cumberland offers more than 30 different digital assets against 500 pairs, and the company claims to be “one of the largest liquidity providers in the cryptocurrency space.” Speaking about the recent crypto market rout, Cumberland disclosed that lots of crypto volume came directly to OTC desks.Cumberland said: On big swings, more volume tends to come to OTC desks, and yesterday was no exception; it was the most volume we’ve seen so far this year. In fact, it was 30% more volume than the previous YTD high, May 13th. Traders tend to use OTC during fast markets because it’s much easier to move size. Volumes were very BTC-centric, with about 75% of the total flow in bitcoin. ETH was the majority of the remainder. When looking to exit risk, traders tend to trade the most liquid products.

Massive Bitcoin (BTC) Rally Much Closer Than Traders Expect, Says Top Crypto Analyst – Here’s Why A closely followed crypto strategist believes that Bitcoin (BTC) is gearing up to print a new all-time high despite the overall bearish sentiment in the markets. Pseudonymous analyst Credible tells his 333,100 Twitter followers that Bitcoin has been in a macro bull market over the last decade or so with the 2014 and 2018 bear markets serving as corrective periods. “After the tops in 13/17, we had major bear markets in which it took three years to get back to highs. Current corrections are of a smaller degree, and this will be proven if/when we break to new all-time highs in some months. BTC.”

Nepal Shuts Down Crypto Websites, Apps — Warns About Engaging in Crypto Activities The Nepal Telecommunications Authority has issued a warning that crypto activities are illegal. The regulator emphasized that websites, apps, and online networks related to crypto activities are prohibited to be used, operated, or managed within the country. Nepalese Regulator’s Crypto WarningNepal’s regulator of the technology sector, the Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA), issued a notice Monday warning the public about engaging in illegal activities, specifically naming cryptocurrency, bitcoin, and online gambling.

Vitalik Buterin Isn’t Crazy About NFTs Vitalik Buterin – known for his role in creating Ethereum, the largest altcoin on the market and arguably bitcoin’s biggest competitor – isn’t a huge fan of non-fungible tokens or NFTs, as they’re called for short. In a recent interview, he warned against NFTs and claimed they were “dystopian.” Vitalik Buterin Doesn’t Like How Big NFTs Have BecomeEthereum is largely responsible for giving way to NFTs. These tokens require smart contracts, which up to one point, was technology only compatible with the Ethereum blockchain, though newer networks like Solana and TRON also bear these capabilities. Many of these NFTs represent stakes in something larger. For example, you can buy an NFT of the Mona Lisa, and this is meant to represent a slight bit of ownership in the actual painting, which if purchased would probably go for several million dollars. The NFT represents a portion of ownership in the Mona Lisa without paying for the whole thing.

Du Jun of Huobi Fame: Bitcoin Will Remain in a Funk Until 2024 Bitcoin hasn’t been doing too well as of late. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and several other factors have caused the world’s number one digital currency by market cap to fall heavily over the past week or two, and now – according to Du Jun, the chief executive of crypto exchange Huobi – bitcoin isn’t likely to experience another bull run until the end of 2024. Du Jun of Huobi Thinks Bitcoin Will Stay Low for Nearly 3 YearsDu Jun recently made headlines when he announced that his company was going to be reentering the crypto market in the coming future. The goal was to not simply serve as an exchange anymore, given that crypto has come a long way in the past few years. Thus, Huobi is planning to focus more on asset custody and several other services that have become prominent in the digital asset space. Considering the facts, it’s hard to take everything Jun says seriously. The end of 2024 is when he’s saying bitcoin will rise again. That’s almost three years from now. In other words, that’s allegedly a three-year period in which trading platforms and crypto companies are likely to experience little to no profit, and yet Huobi is choosing now to reenter the space. Why would it be doing this now if it felt that the staple product of the industry is not going to show any prominence for such a long period?

Backtracking Bitcoin – What’s Driving the Latest Cryptocurrency Market Crash? Bitcoin and a wide range of cryptocurrencies have experienced a series of sharp price falls at the beginning of a month that many market commentators believed would be a lucrative one for the crypto market. With BTC shedding $10,000 of its value in a 14-hour period, it’s worth questioning what’s next for coins across the entire ecosystem, and whether this latest action signals the end of the bull market. The bullish sentiment toward Bitcoin was shared far and wide after the cryptocurrency broke its all-time high in October and early November. Notably, market analysts at Standard Chartered, among many others, predicted that BTC could reach the dizzying heights of $100,000 in 2021 – potentially triggering a wider market move that would see other assets also rally to new highs.

El Salvador Limits Some Chivo Wallet Features to Prevent Fraud El Salvador is taking necessary action to stop all those who have allegedly been misusing the new Chivo crypto wallet the country has implemented. Apparently, it only took about a month and a half for some people to resort to criminal activity to make their money via crypto. El Salvador Is Taking Action Against Alleged CheatersThe Chivo wallet is the new bitcoin wallet system that allows residents of the country to hold bitcoin, which they can then use to pay for goods and services. It also permits trading and selling, and many were allegedly using their wallets to engage in a process known as “scalping.” A feature on the wallet would often pause transactions for up to a full minute prior to initiating the final confirmation. Thus, individuals had that time to quickly check out other crypto exchanges before their traders were finished. This gave them the chance to see what would be better for them at that moment: buying or selling. As a result, many traders were either seeing their asset surge thanks to ongoing rallies or they were buying dips.

​​A lot of good deals in September. Look at one more of them. As always, excellent performance from our TrendGuru AI. 💵💵💵 Closed deal FTM/USDT Open: $0.26867, 06.08.2021 Close: $1.3955, 08.09.2021 Profit: +419.41% Duration: 33 days 💵💵💵 What Is FTM? Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds.The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019. The platform’s compatibility with Ethereum means that users can purchase an ERC-20 standard FTM, which is automatically converted to native FTM once received to their wallet. Another version of FTM is available on Binance Chain using its BEP2 standard. Only the native FTM can be used on the Fantom OPERA mainnet itself. Fantom attempts to use a new scratch-built consensus mechanism to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts. The mechanism, Lachesis, promises much higher capacity and two-second transaction finalization, along with improvements to security over traditional PoS algorithm-based platforms. Matching Ethereum, the project appeals to developers looking to deploy decentralized solutions. According to its official literature, its mission is to “grant compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world.” Its in-house PoS token, FTM, forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards the latter represents.

Bitcoin.com Wallet Adds DApp Gateway WalletConnect The Bitcoin.com Team is excited to announce support for Ethereum-based DApps in the Bitcoin.com Wallet via WalletConnect. Earn interest on your cryptoassets, trade using decentralized exchanges, participate in NFT marketplaces and more. What is WalletConnect?WalletConnect is a bridge that securely connects DApps to crypto wallets. Once you’ve approved the connection between your wallet and a DApp, the DApp can send transaction requests to your wallet, which you must then approve or deny. You can find more information about WalletConnect here. How do you connect to DApps in the Bitcoin.com Wallet?Just go to any DApp website, locate the “Connect” or “Sign in” button, and select WalletConnect as the connection / sign in method. This brings up a QR code and a link. Then, in the Bitcoin.com Wallet, tap the QR code icon on the home screen and either scan the DApp’s QR code, or paste in the link.Once you confirm via the Wallet, you’ll be connected to the DApp. This will enable the DApp to see the contents of your Bitcoin.com Ethereum wallet and to send you transaction requests, which you both initiate (via the DApp’s website) and approve or deny (via your Wallet).You can also connect to DApps using WalletConnect with the desktop/web version of the Bitcoin.com Wallet. What can DApps do?While in theory DApps can do anything traditional apps can do, the current processing restraints of decentralized networks like Ethereum mean DApps are primarily used for money-related activities. The use cases of borrowing, lending, exchange, and derivatives form what’s often referred to as DeFi (Decentralized Finance). Popular DApps in this category include UniSwap, SushiSwap, and Compound — and the Bitcoin.com Wallet supports the native tokens for all of those DApps. Recently, NFT marketplaces like OpenSea and SuperRare have become popular DApps. Here, you can buy and sell NFT-based artwork and collectibles, some of which integrate elements of gamification. You can browse through recommended DApps in the Bitcoin.com Wallet app’s Discover tab or find a comprehensive list here. Is connecting to DApps safe?Using WalletConnect to connect to DApps is safe in the sense that it establishes a secure (encrypted) connection, with your approval, between your Bitcoin.com Wallet and the DApps of your choosing, and it does not reveal your private key. In other words, when you connect to a DApp via WalletConnect, it’s impossible for the funds in your wallet to be spent without your approval. That being said, any time you (purposely) send cryptoassets to a smart contract, there are risks. These are outlined here. What’s next?

New Jersey and Texas Turn Up the Heat on Crypto Lender Celsius Network for Allegedly Selling Unregistered Securities Two US states are filing legal actions against a cryptocurrency lending company they claim is selling unregistered securities. Texas and New Jersey are taking legal measures against London-based Celsius Network (CEL) for allegedly raising funds through sales of unregistered products. New Jersey is issuing a cease and desist order for unlawful sales of “interest-earning cryptocurrency products,” forcing the network to stop offering those products in the state. According to the statement, Celsius is partly funding its crypto lending and trading operations through the sale of securities that are allegedly in violation of the New Jersey Securities Law. Texas is filing a notice for a hearing next year to determine if it should also issue a cease and desist order against Celsius for illegally selling “cryptocurrency interest-earning accounts.”

Is Cardano Finally Ready To Blast Through $3.00? Analyst Benjamin Cowen Looks at State of ADA Widely followed crypto analyst and trader Benjamin Cowen is weighing in on what could lie ahead for Cardano’s (ADA) bull run. In a new strategy session, Cowen says Cardano’s near future relies heavily on one simple metric involving Bitcoin. According to the crypto strategist, as long as Bitcoin stays above its 20-week moving average – currently around $42,500 – ADA has more room to run. “Is ADA likely to hit $3.00? The answer to that question likely is just if Bitcoin stays above the 20-week [moving average], it lies with that answer. If Bitcoin is able to stay above the 20-week for just… a day or two, definitely the next few weeks it seems very likely that ADA is going to blast through the $3.00 milestone. I ultimately do see ADA trending much higher than $3.00 this market cycle but we do have to take it one milestone at a time… Remember, [Bitcoin] doesn’t even have to hang out at these levels for very long. As long as it just doesn’t go parabolic and as long as it doesn’t go back down below the 20-week moving average, there is a high probability that ADA will cross the $3 milestone relatively soon.”

XRP Has Same Use Cases As Bitcoin, Ripple Director Asserts Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP, often gets a bad rep for having no real use cases, with some regulators going as far as to call it a security. In a series of tweets recently, the Director of Developer Relations at Ripple, Matt Hamilton, has attempted to set the record straight on the XRP cryptocurrency. XRP’s Use Cases Are “Basically The Same As Bitcoin”: Matt HamiltonThe XRP Ledger has often been criticized for its apparent closed centralized nodes. Of the 156 validator nodes on the Ledger, 19 are notably Ripple nodes. This means that the company controls roughly 12% of the total nodes. Questions of whether XRP is a real cryptocurrency are also another bone of contention for the crypto community. A Twitter user by the name @chazbot posited that he has not come across a suitable answer to the question: “What does XRP actually do?” The user added that the cryptocurrency is a useless, centralized bitcoin that no banks use.

Finance Guru Suze Orman Likes Bitcoin Despite Regulation, Elon Musk Effect Personal finance guru and best-selling author Suze Orman has given advice on how to invest in bitcoin. She likes the cryptocurrency as a long-term investment despite regulatory uncertainty and the influence Tesla CEO Elon Musk seems to have on the bitcoin market. Suze Orman’s Bitcoin Investing AdviceSuze Orman has shared her bitcoin investment strategy in an interview with CNBC Monday. The Suze Orman Financial Group founder, whose show ran on CNBC from 2002 to 2015, has written 10 consecutive New York Times bestsellers about personal finance. She was named twice on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people and was appointed as a personal finance educator for the United States Army and Army Reserve in 2016. In addition, she won two Emmy Awards and eight Gracie Awards. Emphasizing that she likes bitcoin as a long-term investment but not as a currency, the famed author of the book “The Ultimate Retirement Guide for 50+” said: You have to hold it for the long run. She previously said, “Any money that you can afford to lose, then I don’t have a problem with you investing in bitcoin.” Orman also warned that the price of bitcoin could still sink to the $30,000 level or even to $26,000. The price of BTC is $40,134 at the time of writing based on data from Bitcoin.com Markets. The famed financial advisor believes that bitcoin is a legitimate investment largely due to major corporations pouring millions of dollars into the cryptocurrency. In addition, she said the American youth likes it, noting, “You really have to validate them as to where they are going.” Regarding Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s tweets affecting the price of bitcoin, Orman opined: I don’t like that one man can come out and say something and it controls the market. When Tesla announced that it had invested in BTC and would accept the cryptocurrency for payments, the price of bitcoin soared and then plummeted when Musk said that his electric car company had suspended accepting bitcoin due to environmental concerns. When Musk clarified that Tesla will resume accepting BTC “When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions.” Orman also dislikes bitcoin being used in ransomware attacks. She questioned: Will the government come in and start to regulate it and everything? The Biden administration has made ransomware a priority and the G7 leaders have called on Russia to urgently “identify, disrupt, and hold to account” ransomware hackers and those abusing cryptocurrency to launder ransoms. Despite regulatory uncertainty and Musk seemingly affecting the price of bitcoin with his tweets, Orman said: I still think for the long run … it’s a place to put some money and just leave it, but not a lot.
