On-Chain-Daten deuten darauf hin, dass der Bitcoin-Preis wahrscheinlich auf ein neues Allzeithoch ausbrechen wird, sobald Wale, Bergleute und Langzeit-Hodler wieder bullisch werden.

Der Preis für Bitcoin ( BTC ) stand in den letzten zwei Monaten unter starkem Verkaufsdruck durch Wale, wie Daten aus der Kette belegen.

Fünf Schlüsselindikatoren deuten jedoch darauf hin, dass Großverkäufer bald wieder zu Hodlern oder sogar Akkumulatoren von Bitcoin werden, während die institutionelle Nachfrage weiterhin hoch ist. Dies ist ein explosives Setup, das Bitcoin in naher Zukunft auf neue Allzeithochs bringen könnte.

Wale hörten auf zu verkaufen

Die Anzahl der Wale, bei denen es sich um Bitcoin-Adressen mit einem Kontostand von mindestens 1.000 Bitcoin handelt, ist seit dem 8. Februar um mehr als 10% zurückgegangen, was auf einen großen Ausverkauf von Bitcoin hindeutet.

Während der Preis von Bitcoin während der zweimonatigen Dumpingperiode zwei Allzeithochs verzeichnete, hat sich der allgemeine Preisanstieg erheblich verlangsamt, wobei BTC mit rund 60.000 USD einen starken Widerstand feststellte. Seit dem 31. März haben jedoch große Bitcoin-Inhaber den Verkauf eingestellt.

Die Neuausrichtung des Portfolios zum Quartalsende ist ein typischer Zeitpunkt für Ausverkäufe. Da Bitcoin seit Anfang dieses Jahres einen Preisanstieg von 104% verzeichnete, war dies zu erwarten.

Grayscale, der größte Manager für digitale Vermögenswerte, gab am 6. April bekannt, dass er gerade seinen digitalen Large-Cap-Fonds auf Kosten des Verkaufs von Bitcoin neu gewichtet hat.

Wenn das Rebalancing der Haupttreiber ist und wenn man bedenkt, dass die Anzahl der Adressen mit mindestens 1.000 BTC wieder auf dem Niveau liegt, das Ende 2020 – als der Preis zu steigen begann – zuletzt gesehen wurde, könnten die Wale vorerst nicht mehr verkauft werden.

Langfristige Hodler, die Bitcoin verkaufen, verlangsamen sich

Als Bitcoin im Oktober 2020 sein bisheriges Hoch von 2019 durchbrach, begann eine der schnellsten und am längsten anhaltenden Erhöhungen der zerstörten Münztage (CDD).

Die CDD-On-Chain-Metrik drückt das „Gewicht“ aus, zu dem Langzeit-Hodler verkaufen. Es wird berechnet, indem die Anzahl der Münzen in einer Transaktion mit der Anzahl der Tage multipliziert wird, die seit dem letzten Ausgeben dieser Münzen vergangen sind. Dies bedeutet, dass je höher die CDD ist, desto mehr Volumen verkauft wird.

Seit Jahresbeginn verlangsamt sich der Verkauf durch Langzeit-Hodler jedoch nicht nur drastisch, sondern ist fast wieder auf das Niveau zurückgekehrt, auf dem der Ausverkauf ursprünglich im Jahr 2020 ausgelöst wurde.

Jesse Powell, CEO di Kraken, pensa che ci sono metriche migliori per misurare il prezzo del Bitcoin e che la forza sta solo guadagnando da qui.

Bitcoin si dirigerà verso un posto dove diventerà la valuta mondiale

Jesse Powell, CEO di Kraken, ha detto che pensa che Bitcoin si dirigerà verso un posto dove diventerà la valuta mondiale. Parlando con Bloomberg, il sostenitore del Bitcoin ha offerto previsioni rialziste sul futuro della criptovaluta.

„Bitcoin sta andando all’infinito, sulla luna, su Marte e alla fine sarà la valuta del mondo“, dice il CEO di Kraken Jesse Powell

Secondo Powell, Bitcoin andrà „all’infinito“ in termini di valore del dollaro, ma soprattutto che la valuta digitale diventerà la valuta del mondo. Ha suggerito che paragonare Bitcoin al dollaro in termini di previsioni dove il token potrebbe andare è un modo errato di guardare il mercato.

A causa del tasso di inflazione delle valute fiat e l’offerta limitata e la crescente domanda di Bitcoin, il modo migliore di guardare la forza del mercato delle criptovalute potrebbe essere guardare il valore di acquisto di qualcosa di più tangibile e stabile come un’auto sportiva. Ha notato che sospetta che un Bitcoin comprerà una Lamborghini entro la fine del 2021 e un Bitcoin otterrà una Bugatti entro il 2023. Ha continuato:

„Per la comunità delle criptovalute, penso che questi tipi di beni siano più facili da misurare con il Bitcoin perché non si sa mai dove sarà il dollaro. Ci potrebbero essere 10 volte più dollari americani là fuori tra un anno, quindi è davvero difficile misurare il Bitcoin rispetto al dollaro“.

Caso d’uso di Ethereum

Powell crede che la nuova attenzione al mercato delle altcoin, con Ethereum in testa, sia il risultato del boom dei token non fungibili (NFT). Ha offerto:

„Tutta l’attività NFT sta davvero spingendo l’uso di Ethereum“.

Ha anche notato che Polkadot, una rete che è esplosa in volume e valore di recente, sta guadagnando trazione probabilmente come risultato delle sue commissioni di transazione più basse e della tecnologia di nicchia per migliorare la velocità e l’efficienza della rete.

Crisis winners – top companies in Swiss „Crypto Valley“ grow by 680 percent

The top 50 companies in Zug’s crypto industry have gained 250 billion US dollars since the start of the Corona crisis.

A new report by a Swiss investment firm finds that the fifty largest companies in „Crypto Valley“ have increased in value by 680% since July 2020.

As the „Top 50 Report“ by Zug-based Crypto Valley Venture Capital (CV VC) reveals, the enterprise Bitcoin Loophole value of the top 50 crypto companies in the „Valley“ has increased from US$37.5 billion in July 2020 to US$254.9 billion in February 2021.

The number of employees in Zug’s crypto industry

The report explicitly highlights crypto companies based in the Swiss canton of Zug, known as „Crypto Valley“. The number of companies in this region has also increased since July, with an increase of 4.4% or 960 new companies noted. The number of employees in Zug’s crypto industry has also increased, with 5,184 more jobs added (8.5%).

As a result of these developments, Crypto Valley is now home to eleven so-called „unicorns“, i.e. companies with a company value of over 1 billion US dollars, all of them well-known projects: Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, Aave, Cosmos, Solana, Tezos, Dfinity, Near, Nexo and the Facebook crypto project Diem (formerly Libra).

Although observers had suspected at the beginning of the Corona crisis that the Zug crypto industry would be among the losers, the Valley has instead emerged as the winner of the crisis. Mathias Ruch, founder and CEO of CV VC, explains in this context:

„After entering the crisis in March 2020 with great fears, we are now confident about the future again. The positive development was already clearly visible in September. In the meantime, more crypto start-ups are being founded again, and they are choosing Crypto Valley as their location.“

Switzerland has long been a veritable Mecca for crypto startups, as the legal framework plays into the industry’s cards. Ralf Kubli, the author of the new report, also echoes this sentiment: „Switzerland has some of the most progressive legislation in terms of blockchain, which creates a strong and solid foundation for the sustainable success of Crypto Valley.“

In September 2020, the canton’s government had announced that the region’s population and businesses could pay taxes of up to 100,000 Swiss francs (CHF) in Bitcoin or Ethereum.

The Bitcoin course has no holding back. But even this price rally calls again unteachable doubters and skeptics who criticize Bitcoin because of its energy consumption. What is it about Bitcoin’s hunger for electricity?

Bitcoin goes up and goes up and goes up. But this is not a reason to celebrate for everyone

Many market observers, especially from a more (economic) conservative milieu, are uncomfortable with the cryptocurrency even after eleven years of its existence. For example, the FAZ headlined “ Bitcoin is harmful“And dug up FUD from 2017. Everyone knows the argument: Bitcoin consumes an enormous amount of energy. Comparable to the total annual electricity consumption of Argentina.

According to the superficial analysis, this makes Bitcoin “dirty currency No. 1”. Mark Schieritz, the economic policy correspondent of the time , even called for Bitcoin to be „switched off“. Presumably knowing that this is not possible at all.

JustTRADE is the first German provider to offer an all-in-one solution for trading crypto currencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, …) stocks, ETFs and certificates. The website and app are designed to be intuitive, offer many useful features and are suitable for both beginners and advanced traders.

The best: there are no transaction costs or network fees

But the argument is more complex than that. Anyone who really wants to understand that Bitcoin can even make global trading in energy more efficient must first take a look at the Achilles‘ heel of electricity generation: transport. Transporting electricity over long distances is time-consuming and inefficient. The World Bank estimates that 8 percent of the electricity generated worldwide is lost in transport from A to B.

In addition, the electricity generated is difficult to store. As a rule, energy from power plants is therefore fed directly into the grid. Whether the supply of electricity is also opposed to a demand is a different story. Since electricity production is quite inflexible, there can be surpluses and deficiencies. Renewable energies make this problem even worse, as they depend to a greater extent on external conditions such as wind, rain or sun.

BTC takes excess power from the market

Bitcoin can remedy this. After all, BTC is a highly competitive buyer of cheap electricity. And electricity is especially cheap when there is a surplus. In plain language, this means that Bitcoin mines are located right next to electricity producers such as solar systems or hydropower plants and could then serve as a constant consumer of excess electricity. A look at China shows that this is actually common practice. Sichuan Province is considered the epicenter of Chinese hydropower. Thanks to state subsidies, enormous hydropower plants were built there within a very short time. However, the production capacity far exceeds the demand, which is why a large part of the energy generated is lost.

It is no coincidence that, according to current estimates, over 9 percent of the total Bitcoin hash rate comes from Sichuan. In rainy seasons, when the dams are full, this number increases even further.

Mad Bitcoin Miners – The fact that the Bitcoin network’s hashrate is already at its all-time highs does not deter some. The Marathon Patent Group announces that it has placed a record order for specialized ASIC mining machines from Bitmain.

Marathon wants to have over 100,000 Antminer S19

Listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, the Marathon Patent Group company specializes in digital asset mining , a sector in which it is one of the main players in North America.

According to a press release issued on December 28, Marathon entered into a contract with Bitmain for the purchase of 70 000 miners type Antminer S19 .

Under the terms of the agreement, receipt of this gargantuan order will begin in July 2021 and is expected to end in December 2021.

With the 33,000 Antminer S19 miners that Marathon already owns today, the firm will therefore have a total of 103,000 latest generation bitcoin (BTC) miners .

“This purchase is (…) the largest S19 ASIC miner order Bitmain has ever received. We appreciate the hard work of their team to fulfill this order, as well as for the 30,000 S-19 miners that we have purchased since August 2020 (…) and we look forward to continuing to work with them to grow our business. “

The equivalent of more than 7% of Bitcoin’s global hahsrate

Once the order is fulfilled, the Marathon group will have a total computing power of 10.36 EH / s (exahashes per second).

If the BTC network’s proof-of-work consensus hashrate remained at 140 EH / s as it is now, Marathon alone would represent around 7.4% of this computing power.

One thing is certain in any case, with this order of 170 million dollars for its Antminers, Bitmain has already secured its 2021 season:

“The new contract for 70,000 Antminer S19 with Marathon convincingly demonstrates the major role of our S19, in providing our customers with world-class mining efficiency. (…) Marathon quickly became our biggest customer, and our partnership continues to mutually benefit both of our businesses. „

Irene Gao, Antminer Sales Director for North and South America

While listed companies, like MicroStrategy, invest in bitcoins, the Marathon group prefers to go straight to the source, to mine BTC itself (in the hope of reselling them for gold perhaps?). It will also represent a welcome geographic diversification of bitcoin mining, which will thus be a little less concentrated in China than at present.

Monero has become the preferred cryptomeda among different activities, mainly illegal ones

The black markets found on the dark web have always been fans of Bitcoin as a form of payment, however, for at least 3 years things have been changing and recently the biggest of them stopped accepting Bitcoin and started to give preference to Monero.

The White House Market, one of the best known markets currently in darknet, has announced that it will stop supporting Crypto Engine as a form of payment and from now on will only accept Monero (XMR).

According to a statement made through Twitter assigned to the market, the platform will no longer accept Bitcoin because Morphtoken, an API that performed the conversion from BTC to XMR now blocks access from TOR nodes (The Onion Router).

„The solution using Bitcoin was only to help the transition to XMR and as far as we know, it is over. So, we are just accepting Monero“.

The idea of the black market has always been to use Monero as the main currency, not Bitcoin. The reason for this is quite simple, since the XMR is a cryptomoeda completely focused on privacy, and it is not possible to track the outgoing or incoming address of transactions.

Therefore, it is easy to understand why a black market, especially such a notorious one, has a preference for the use of crypto currency which makes any kind of identification difficult. Among all those that have this characteristic, Monero is older and more consolidated in the market.

Other markets of this type still offer support for Bitcoin, but with the market leader leaving BTC aside, we can see a similar movement in other platforms.

Monero replaces Bitcoin in different areas

It is curious, and worth pointing out, that this was not the first sign that Monero became preferred among different activities, especially illegal ones. Recently, Ransomware scams began to adopt the currency with a focus on privacy in place of Bitcoin.

While this increases the use of Monero, it may attract the attention of regulators, who have been trying for some time to find ways to track transactions on the asset’s network.

Monero is getting ahead of the competition when it comes to privacy in its transactions.

A Cointelegraph Markets revelou que os gráficos de dominância do Bitcoin subiram 69%.

O domínio do Bitcoin no espaço criptográfico atingiu um pico quando o principal ativo digital alcançou brevemente US $ 24.000 novamente. O preço do Bitcoin atingiu um novo recorde de US $ 24.000 no dia 19 de dezembro. Embora o BTC tenha visto grande volatilidade com seu preço caindo para $ 22.800, ainda está em alta de 1,23%, para $ 23.633,39.

Em um vídeo postado no Twitter, o analista da Cointelegraph Markets Michael van de Poppe disse:

“Historicamente, temos feito uma estrutura de ponta em dezembro, após a qual tivemos um primeiro trimestre maravilhoso para altcoins.”

O tweet da Cointelegraph Markets revelou que o gráfico de dominância do Bitcoin subiu 69% em meio à liquidação de XRP.

Como o Bitcoin continua a crescer, XRP está tendo dificuldades com as autoridades regulatórias. Em um processo recente , a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dos Estados Unidos acusou a Ripple e dois de seus executivos de garantir mais de US $ 1,3 bilhão em uma “oferta contínua de ativos digitais não registrados”. Os dois executivos da Ripple mencionados no processo da SEC são o CEO Brad Garlinghouse e o co-fundador Christian Larsen. Como resultado do arquivamento, os analistas estão preocupados que o processo da SEC possa afetar a negociação de XRP.

O XRP já está registrando perdas. Até o momento, o XRP caiu 31,59%, para $ 0,321332

Ao contrário do Bitcoin, outros altcoins importantes também estão registrando declínios diários. Ether (ETH) está atualmente com queda de 2,56%, para $ 610,71. Além disso, o Tether caiu 0,06% e o Bitcoin Cash (BCH) perdeu $ 221%.

Ripple Network Activity Shows XRP ha perso la sua scintilla post-Airdrop

Una candela avvolgente di fumo sbiadita. Macrofotografia del fumo di candela da vicino

Poiché gli investitori si sono dati da fare per acquistare XRP al fine di rivendicare una quantità corrispondente di gettoni Spark, l’altcoin ha Bitcoin Future avuto il suo più significativo breakout rialzista degli ultimi anni.

L’attività di Ripple network dopo il lancio della scintilla suggerisce che l’asset ha fondamentalmente perso la scintilla, ma i tecnici potrebbero suggerire che la scintilla è stata sufficiente per accendere la miccia, e la prima ondata è solo l’inizio dell’esplosione completa a venire.

L’effetto Ripple Effetto Airdrop Post-Flare Airdrop lascia l’attività di rete a livelli mensili bassi

La crittovaluta al terzo posto in ordine di importanza in base al limite di mercato sembra essere nel suo mondo e nel suo ciclo di mercato quando si tratta dello spazio criptato.

XRP ha perso la stagione altcoin dell’estate e non è stato influenzato dal Bitcoin rialzista dell’anno scorso. L’altcoin è rimasto così stagnante per così tanto tempo, è stato l’asset con le peggiori performance per tre anni consecutivi e si è comportato così male che Ripple è stato costretto a riacquistare una parte dell’offerta per riaccendere l’interesse.

La tattica è fallita, ma la scintilla necessaria per l’evasione è arrivata con l’airdrop del Flare Network e l’emissione di gettoni Spark a chiunque abbia in mano XRP al momento di un’istantanea a catena.

Il fascino dei gettoni Spark gratuiti ha causato un massiccio breakout nell’XRP e un rally di oltre il 200% dall’inizio alla fine. Ma dopo la data dell’istantanea del 12 dicembre, l’attività del protocollo Ripple è caduta da un precipizio, e il prezzo per ogni XRP è seguito

Come i gettoni di scintilla potrebbero aver acceso il fusibile XRP Bull Market Fuse

L’attività della rete di Ripple è infatti scesa ai minimi mensili, secondo la società di analisi delle catene di blocco Santiment. Non appena l’istantanea di Spark è finita, lo è stata anche la scintilla che ha innescato il rally. O lo è stata?

Mentre le cose potrebbero rallentare fondamentalmente per l’XRP, i tecnici suggeriscono che un rally mostruoso è appena iniziato grazie alla miccia accesa dalla nuova moneta del Flare Network sul blocco.

XRPUSD ha ribaltato la resistenza del mercato dell’orso come supporto, tenendosi al di sopra di un punto elevato fissato nel 2017.

Il breakout rialzista ha registrato anche sull’indice direzionale medio con un forte aumento e un rialzo rispetto al livello chiave di 20. La lettura dell’ADX di 20 o superiore suggerisce un trend forte, e passare sopra il 20 indica inizialmente che il trend è appena iniziato.

Durante l’ultimo ciclo, due impulsi sono arrivati strettamente impacchettati l’uno con l’altro. La linea verde DMI+ ha avuto un picco verso l’alto, poi un’altra volta prima che l’ADX passasse attraverso l’indicatore rialzista. Dopo quasi nove mesi di consolidamento, Ripple ha raggiunto per le stelle ancora una volta, fissando il suo prezzo di picco a oltre 3 dollari all’inizio del 2018.

Se la storia si ripete, il token Spark ha acceso la miccia per l’impulso rialzista uno dei tre, con il secondo che arriva da un giorno all’altro. Il terzo e ultimo impulso, che è il più redditizio di tutti, potrebbe arrivare tra un altro anno.

Brazilians have bought and sold $ 6.3 billion bitcoin, according to their IRS.

Trading providers have been required to provide details to the Brazilian Federal Tax Authority (RFB) since August 2019.

This data has now been compiled in a public report by RFB, which lists the volumes by cryptocurrency per month

From January to September 2020, a total of 33 billion Brazilian Reals, worth around 6.3 billion US dollars, were traded.

Most of it is in Cryptosoft and Eth, but the Brazilian Treasury also lists trading in Dai and Doge:

The first column is the cryptocurrency, then the month, then the number of actions / transactions, then the total and then the average total.

This includes data from over the counter (OTC) trading venues, of which there are nine large ones in Brazil: Transfero, Foxbit, Novadax, Escher, Nox, Red River, BitBlue, BitPreço, and OWS.

“These are investors who are looking for diversification, often leaving the traditional market, having completed financial investments with traditional banks and brokers and now coming to buy their first bitcoin. This customer profile prefers the OTC trade, ”explains Foxbit CEO João Canhada.

According to crypto exchange Foxbit, OTC trade accounts for 40% of its sales, with Brazil rising overall as a hotspot for bitcoin trading

They are the ninth largest economy in the world with a GDP of $ 1.8 trillion. They have inflation at 4.3% – and more importantly, the country stands next to hyperinflationary Venezuela and Argentina, where inflation is galloping.

Bitcoin is also particularly useful for trading outside the official channels, especially with China, as the currency can be moved in seconds, which shortens processing times for mail order.

The country also has a long history of capital controls, which could be an obstacle for small businesses. However, your government is generally friendly towards the industry and even tried to tokenize the real with its state bank in 2018.

Australsk investeringsgruppe med milliarder i AUM begynder at investere i Bitcoin Futures

Pendal Group, en australsk børsnoteret investeringsforvalter med over A $ 100 mia. (73,6 mia. $) I aktiver under forvaltning, går ind i bitcoin.

Som rapporteret af den australske Financial Review mandag sagde Vimal Gor, Crypto Trader Pendals chef for obligations-, indkomst- og defensivstrategier, med kryptovalutaen „at komme ind i mainstream-området“, at virksomheden nu investerer i bitcoin-futures på Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

„Alle de store hitters i hedgefondverdenen kommer ud for at godkende bitcoin,“ sagde Gor og henviste til Paul Tudor Jones II og Stan Druckenmiller, milliardærer, som begge i år har afsløret at eje nogle af de førende kryptokurrency efter markedsværdi.

Ved tilmelding modtager du e-mails om CoinDesk-produkter, og du accepterer vores vilkår og betingelser og fortrolighedspolitik

Mens de fleste store institutioner har holdt sig væk hidtil, anmodede kundens efterspørgsel om flytningen, sagde Gor.

”Vi har positioneret i guld til vores kunder i mange mange år nu. Nu gør vi det med bitcoin, ”sagde han.

Bitcoins træk hænger sammen med, at faldende renter midt i centralbankernes aggressive kvantitative lempelsespolitik betyder, at statsobligationer mister deres attraktion blandt enkeltpersoner med høj nettoværdi. De vil til sidst „blive til en død aktivklasse“, når folk henvender sig til alternativer som guld og kryptokurver, ifølge Gor.

Med den eventuelle digitalisering af økonomien ansporet af dette års globale pandemi, sagde Pendal-koncernledelsen, at det globale finansielle system simpelthen vil ”udvikle sig” med kryptokurrency i de kommende år.

”Bitcoin er en kakerlak, der findes. De [regeringer] kan ikke forbyde det at eksistere. „
