  • The Top 3 Altcoins to Invest in on Bityard in 2021

    The Top 3 Altcoins to Invest in on Bityard in 2021

    We haven’t even completed the first quarter of 2021 yet and a number of crypto projects are already making significant headway in upgrading their networks. The upgrades could strengthen the projects’ positions in the market, and are sure to get the community talking about these projects.

    Sign Up on Bityard

    Both the technical and fundamental analysis of the crypto markets in 2021 are pointing to the fact that we are in a bull run. This is evidenced by the exponential growth in the total market capitalization of the crypto market, the total value locked in DeFi platforms, institutional interest in crypto assets, and other key metrics. Evidently, most altcoins are poised to grow with this bull wave. However, there are also some altcoins with potential to exceed their peers.

    The Bityard trading platform currently lists 32 crypto trading pairs, with plans to add more pairs in the near future. In a cryptocurrency bull market, most of these coins are likely to show significant growth. However, this article has identified the top 3 crypto assets that could outperform all the other coins in this bull run. While the list of trading pairs on Bityard is extensive, this article focuses on 3 projects that seem to be in a particularly strong position.

    1. Cardano (ADA)

    Cardano can be traded on Bityard through the ADA/USDT pair. This pair has been on a steady horizontal movement throughout the month of January, until the beginning of February when it experienced a trend reversal. It has since been on a steep upward trend, only falling 15.07% in the recent dip of the first week of March. The trend reversal can be attributed to the 3rd February announcement that the Cardano network would be upgraded through the Mary hard fork, which brought custom token support to the Cardano blockchain.

    Buy/Sel ADA

    As can be seen from the price chart, ADA/USDT has been trading within a narrow uptrend. It managed to briefly pierce through this boundary in the last week of February when it hit a new all-time high of $1.48. The mainnet launch of the Mary upgrade means that the Cardano network would now be able to handle custom tokens, a welcome addition to the crypto space as traders seek Ethereum alternatives. The green area shows that ADA/USDT could be headed to the $1.5 – $2 range within the next few weeks.

    2. Chainlink (LINK)

    Chainlink can be traded on Bityard via the LINK/USDT pair. The price of the LINK/USDT pair has taken a hit in the recent few weeks, going low to test a support area at $22.8645 just at the beginning of March. However, the pair responded positively to the recent announcements about the network upgrades made to Chainlink. From the price chart, LINK now looks like it is headed to pierce through its all-time high price of $37.0755. Traders and investors could definitiely see the recen announcements as bullish, so new all-time highs are not out of the question for LINK.

    Buy/Sell LINK

    The news driving LINK’s bullish trend is that of a recent scalability upgrade with the launch of Off-Chain Reporting (OCR). OCR is expected to improve scalability, security, efficiency and performance of the Chainlink network. Effectively, this will reduce gas prices by up to 90% and increase the amount of data that can be brought on chain by up to 10 times.

    3. Basic Attention Token (BAT)

    From the very beginning of the year, the BAT/USDT pair on Bityard has consistently shattered through key resistance areas to set new all-time highs while at the same time creating new areas of support. This is a sign of a very bullish trend.

    Buy/Sell BAT

    The major up-down price swings that were experienced mid-February were a great opportunity for traders to buy low, sell high, take profits, repeat. The price chart shows how BAT/USDT swung from $0.2 to $0.6 and back to $0.4 in a space of a few weeks.

    BAT is the native token that powers the Brave web browser, and Brave recently announced their plan to integrate a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) aggregator and NFT support in the Brave Browser. With the project also working on a decentralized exchange aggregator, BAT could consolidate into a bullish trend while maintaining the up-down price swings that give traders the opportunity to buy low and sell high.

  • ‘Chain-Agnostic’ Orion Protocol Set to Expand to Binance Smart Chain

    ‘Chain-Agnostic’ Orion Protocol Set to Expand to Binance Smart Chain

    March 2, 2021 — Orion Protocol, the liquidity aggregator building a decentralized gateway to the entire crypto market, has revealed Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as the latest chain to be integrated into the protocol, with more chains to be announced in the coming weeks.

    Buy/Sell Orion Protocol

    Phase One of Orion Terminal launched on Ethereum on Dec 15, granting users access to the liquidity of major centralized exchanges such as Binance, KuCoin, and BitMax without the need for an account on those platforms. With a full public launch slated for the end of March, incorporating Binance Smart Chain will benefit Terminal users principally through reduced costs and increased transaction speeds.

    “As a decentralized gateway to the entire digital asset market, we have always been chain-agnostic,” said Orion Protocol CEO Alexey Koloskov. “Expanding to Binance Smart Chain and other blockchains is a natural move for Orion Protocol, as it gives our users more freedom to transact across the crypto sphere.

    “Binance Smart Chain has attracted huge interest since launching last September, from projects and from end-users. With transaction fees a fraction of what you’d expect to pay on Ethereum, and a familiar user experience, BSC is making life easier for cryptocurrency traders. At Orion Protocol, we have plans to become a validator on the BSC network to take a more active role in its advancement.”

    The implementation of the Binance Smart Chain into the Orion Terminal is already underway, with the latest updates to the Terminal set to be live imminently. Orion’s expansion to BSC promises to halve wait times for off-chain order execution and on-chain order settlement.

    Orion Protocol will provide decentralized access to all major digital asset exchanges on the market, including centralized exchanges such as Binance and decentralized alternatives like Uniswap. Through Orion Protocol, users can access thousands of trading pairs at the best possible price, with near-zero slippage. They also get to trade across the entire market from the safety of their own wallet.

    The Orion Protocol team is continuing to work on the implementation of the Elrond blockchain and smart contracts, with a number of other chains to be announced in the coming weeks. While many multi-chain aggregators require end-users to select the separate chains and trade on the tokens available on that chain, the multiple chains integrated into Orion Terminal remain in the back-end for a seamless user experience more akin to that of a CEX – but without surrendering your assets.

    About Orion Protocol

    Orion Protocol aggregates the liquidity of the entire crypto market into one decentralized platform and represents a non-custodial gateway to crypto for traders throughout the world. In addition, the Protocol will offer private banks, wealth managers, and funds a compliant and non-custodial point of access to the digital asset crypto market. With the ORN token at its core, Orion has developed 17 different revenue streams across its stack of solutions.

  • Wolfram Blockchain Labs To Integrate Tezos into Wolfram Language and Wolfram|Alpha

    Wolfram Blockchain Labs To Integrate Tezos into Wolfram Language and Wolfram|Alpha

    Wolfram Blockchain Labs (WBL) and TQ Tezos are proud to announce the integration of Tezos to WBL’s distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform. The Tezos blockchain is now fully integrated into the Wolfram Language and Wolfram|Alpha, giving easy programmatic access for developers working on blockchain analytics and computational contracts.

    WBL and TQ Tezos have also developed an oracle to provide Wolfram Alpha data to Tezos smart contract developers. Additionally, TQ Tezos has utilized Nomadic Labs’ Mi-Cho-Coq formal verification framework to ensure that the oracle contract exhibits the same predictable behavior each time it is called.

    This collaboration is the latest in WBL’s growing suite of functionality for blockchain reading, writing, and analysis. WBL now hosts Tezos nodes in their high-performance cluster, providing direct connections for smooth Wolfram Language integration on desktop (Mathematica) and cloud (Wolfram Cloud). Wolfram has long had a particular focus on enabling oracles and smart contract services, which are made much more secure on Tezos via formal verification.

    The goal of the pairing is to provide developers using the Tezos blockchain with a simplified path to smart contract deployment. In addition, Wolfram’s expansive knowledgebase and algorithmbase (which power Wolfram|Alpha) can reliably deliver computational facts for oracles on Tezos. This opens up a range of new, secure functionality that can be easily incorporated into blockchain applications.

    WBL has long had a particular focus on enabling smart contracts, which are made much more secure on Tezos by more easily facilitating formal verification. Formal verification is a process that proves the correctness of properties of a smart contract to help mitigate the risks of bugs and other vulnerabilities. WBL collaborated with TQ Tezos to build up Wolfram Language support for advanced functionality, making Tezos integration an easy and intuitive part of the Wolfram system.

    Johan Veerman, CTO of WBL, said, “Tezos is an exciting third generation blockchain that features a number of services and functions that will expand what’s available to our developers. We’re thrilled to work with TQ Tezos on bringing the WBL ecosystem of tools to the Tezos blockchain.”

  • C10: An All-Weather Approach to Investing in Cryptocurrencies

    C10: An All-Weather Approach to Investing in Cryptocurrencies

    The future of cryptocurrencies looks bright as an increasing number of investors are looking for alternative investment opportunities, but many remain hesitant because of the market’s extreme volatility. Crypto10 Hedged is an index fund that allows investors to own a portfolio of the top 10 cryptocurrencies with a single token (C10) while mitigating risk and volatility through its dynamic cash hedging algorithm.

    C10 has performed exceptionally well since its inception in 2019, with the fund’s assets under management recently surpassing $8.5 million on the back of a red-hot rally for cryptoassets over 2021 to date, with the fund outperforming Bitcoin over the period. The dominant cryptoasset, Bitcoin, has seen tremendous growth over the recent bull run, surpassing its previous all-time high of $20k by over 150% to $52k. Alt coins such as ETH have yet to reach quite the same level of outperformance relative to their 2018 highs, however, they have been staging an impressive resurgence off the back of Bitcoins rally, contributing to the C10 fund’s performance.

    The C10 fund follows a passive strategy with medium- to long-term investors in mind. It is the ideal option for those who are more risk-averse and looking for an all-weather approach to investing. The fund helps investors ride trends effectively – taking advantage of cryptocurrencies’ rapid price appreciation during bull markets, but reducing exposure during bear markets by increasing its cash position.

    The index fund comprises the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, which rebalances weekly – a frequency optimized by our quant team to enhance returns by locking in profits from surging assets, and similarly reducing exposure to assets in free-fall. There is also a cap of 15% per asset, which ensures further risk mitigation by preventing single cryptocurrencies from dominating the portfolio.

    The weekly rebalancing process takes the dynamic cash allocation into consideration. By allocating cash weekly, the algorithm has the flexibility to be responsive to market movements. The fund is able to allocate up to 100% exposure to yield-bearing cash during periods of market drawdown, which effectively hedges the fund from this downside volatility. When the market stabilizes, the fund is reinvested into cryptocurrencies. This strategy is one of the main factors which makes the Crypto10 Hedged fund a safer investment – allowing investors peace of mind that is not typically associated with crypto investments.

    The Crypto10 Hedged investment fund is open-ended and accessible via the Invictus Capital Investor Platform, which has the advantages of convenience and complete transparency. Investors do not have to trade through an exchange, and liquidity is available at any time to enter or exit the fund.

    To invest in the Crypto10 Hedged fund, investors will follow a similar subscription and redemption process to that of traditional mutual funds. To buy the C10 token, you can visit the newly-redesigned Invictus Capital Investor Platform. The NAV of the fund is displayed in USD and is updated in real-time.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Which data science techniques are used to rebalance C10?

    C10’s cash allocation is rebalanced weekly by using a proprietary machine-learning algorithm that underwent extensive backtesting. Apart from the main parameter, which is the total market cap, it considers many factors in portfolio construction such as mean-variance through correlations paired with risk parity analysis. The algorithm is also set up to consider specific inputs from the in-house Invictus Capital analyst team for qualitative traits. Lastly, it uses various market indicators to determine cycles, momentum and technical signals to determine optimal cash weightings. It is continuous in the learning process, continually comparing realized and forecasted performance.

    What are the fees?

    Ongoing costs include a 1.7% fee per annum for management, administration and custody. These are always reflected in the C10 token price displayed. A 0.5% fee applies for each subscription and redemption, to protect against scalping and arbitrage.

    Which currencies can you use to invest with?

    Investments into C10 can be made with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), DASH, TrueUSD (TUSD), Tether (USDT), Mastercard, VISA or bank transfer. No minimum investment applies.

    How to redeem my C10 tokens?

    C10 tokens can be redeemed for their total value in ETH through the Investor Portal. The C10 smart contract holds liquidity for redemptions which are processed hourly. A forward-pricing model is used.

    What are the smart contract details?

    C10 is an ERC-20 token issued on the Ethereum blockchain. The smart contract address is 0x000C100050E98C91f9114fa5Dd75CE6869Bf4F53, and there are 18 decimals. For further questions or more information, investors can talk directly to the Invictus Capital team on Discord or Telegram

  • Gold or Bitcoin, who will win in 2021?

    Gold or Bitcoin, who will win in 2021?

    Bitcoin was introduced no more than a decade ago, while gold has been in the investment field as far as human history goes. Despite being an ancient go-to commodity gold has been left behind by bitcoin in many aspects. Bitcoin took a boost once again, right with the start of 2021, by hitting a new all-time high of $34,000. Therefore, bitcoin is most likely to outperform gold in investment portfolios throughout the year 2021.

     Bitcoin and gold are seen as sources of investment along with safety from economic and political turmoil. These commodities act as safe havens especially when it comes to unbridled expansion and devaluation of major currencies, for example, the US dollar.

    There is no doubt that both Bitcoin and gold will continue to be used for preserving portions of wealth by the investors. But, Bitcoin tends to offer a few more benefits than Gold. These inherent advantages are the reason why Bitcoin succeeded in outperforming Gold.

    The question arises, from whom does this investment demand comes? Traditionally the demand usually comes from investors who require a unique asset with the following qualities:

    • Whose supply is limited.
    • Which can be easily bought and sold.
    • Which is accepted worldwide (universal).
    • Which is a stable source of storing wealth, even when there are threats from economic and political turmoil. 

    It is a fact that both Bitcoin and Gold fulfill all the requirements mentioned above, and there is no doubt that investors will keep buying both the commodities in order to protect their portfolio and diversification. But once again, Bitcoin is most likely to keep staying a step ahead of Gold.

    Reasons why Bitcoin will win this race

    To understand these reasons, we will have to do a side-by-side study of both Bitcoin and Gold. To help you understand, here is a complete Bitcoin Vs Gold comparison.

    • The limited supply of Bitcoin and Gold

    The reasons behind the limitation in the supply of both Bitcoin and Gold are different. The production of Gold is a very difficult and labor-intensive task. Moreover, it takes a long time for it to be available for the investment, and it is also restricted to the geographical areas where there are resources of the Gold present. All these factors make up the limited supply of Gold. But, according to some futurists, the supply can and will be outpaced in the future, because humans will start mining Gold from other planets or asteroids. 
    Just like Gold, Bitcoin also comes through mining. But this mining is quite different than Gold mining. Bitcoin mining does not need too many human resources and capital to be mined. So how is the supply of Bitcoins going to stay limited? Here’s how. The Bitcoin supply is limited, and Bitcoins are only 21 million in number. 99% of which will be mined in the next two decades. After the 99% is mined, the rest 1% Bitcoins will take around 100 years to be mined. After this, it will be the end. Bitcoins will not be available anymore and that’s a win-win for the investors.

    • Easy buying and selling

    Anyone can buy Gold easily, in several different forms i.e. jewelry, bricks, or nuggets. Moreover, exposure to Gold’s price is also achievable through ETF or any investment fund. Sounds easy, obviously! But, it requires effort and time to buy gold and also an investment account in order to buy ETF or a Gold fund. Also, there is kind of an age restriction for buying Gold.
    On the contrary, for buying Bitcoins all you need is a Bank account and an application (App). Every person, who has a mobile phone, regardless of his age can easily buy Bitcoin. Older people are not so savvy regarding technology, but as time is passing they are also learning.

    • Widely accepted exchange medium

    There is no lie in saying that Gold is accepted almost everywhere as an exchange medium. But would someone accept Gold instead of currency? Let’s be honest, can you buy something you like online or in a store by offering Gold? Of course, you cannot. 
    On the contrary, Bitcoin is accessed by all our electronic devices, and the use of Bitcoins as a currency is also starting. Don’t you think it will be easier to pay through Bitcoins instead of offering Gold?

    • Stable source of storing wealth

    People have been using Gold to keep their wealth stored because it has been a common belief that Gold will always serve them right at times of turmoil is happening. This might be true but, how is someone supposed to keep all that Gold, and how can someone carry Gold around? And most importantly how can Gold help in everyday transactions related to business?
    While on the other hand, Bitcoin is free of such questions and charges. You can carry it around in your very own smartphone.

    The bottom line

    There is no doubt that Bitcoin trading we can offer investors a wider range of benefits, but the volatility of this cryptocurrency makes it harder to find reliable entry points. This property makes Bitcoin a very good asset for trading rather than investing in it. Even with this point cleared, one must trade Bitcoin, but not without all the tools for risk management.

    Bitcoin trading might be the next Gold. As the CEO of ironfx.com, says,

    “We’re seeing it emerge as a part of the recommended allocation strategy for institutional investors and investment banks. This underlines just how important this asset has become in the world of investing. Right now, we are seeing a dramatic increase of new retail customers entering the market on a daily basis… Bitcoin is about to become gold for the 21st century.”

    We will only know the true winner with the passing time, but the predictions are mostly in favor of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is becoming a go-to commodity for the next generation, and its making progress with every passing day because of the new people who are joining the market daily.

    If you want to earn some quick profit, Bitcoin might be a good investment to invest or trade on. On the other hand, if your goal is the diversification of your portfolio and you want to trade in a traditional asset, then Gold is the better choice for you.

  • Join the Most Awaited ICO of the Year and Get your Ticket to the Crypto world

    Join the Most Awaited ICO of the Year and Get your Ticket to the Crypto world

    After 12 years of existence, it was about time for crypto to be recognized as it deserves. Step by step, blockchain technology made its way to public institutions after it conquered vendors and business enthusiasts.

    With all the issues that came with bank services, no wonder people are so hyped over the idea of crypto payments – which provide users with data and financial security.

    Tokenization in particular got its spotlight due to all the solutions they offer in terms of fair payments, loans, and votes.

    And to bring the crypto area one step forward, a dedicated team developed one of the most intriguing utility tokens that will forever change the way we see crypto – the STC token, available on its dedicated ICO since February 1st. 

    What is an STC token?

    STC is the core utility token of the Student Coin blockchain project – that makes possible the creation of personalized tokens without strong technical knowledge.

    Having an account on the platform allows you to create:

    • Personal tokens – unique assets tied to a single account;
    • Startup tokens – assets that help you take a step forward to your dreams;
    • Corporate tokens – unique assets dedicated to a single company;
    • DeFi tokens – assets that allow you to perform various bank activities without the intervention of third parties;
    • NFT Tokens – transferable tokens that make possible the switch between platforms.

    All these tokens are valued based on the STC Token, and they can be used for exchanges, trades, even crowdfunds.

    Why is the STC token special?

    The thing that makes the STC token superior to other tokens is its focus on the most important people in the world’s economy – students.

    They are the next generation of employees, which will mark the success of current and future companies. To give people the chance to better education, there’s a need to make university programs more accessible.

    But it’s not that easy. Reducing tuition fees will lead to a lower budget to afford qualitative researchers, teachers, programs, international collaborations, and so on.

    Until now, the solution was bank loans. However, with our unpredictable economy, people lost trust in bank services. And who can blame them?

    Therefore, Student Coin’s team came with a solution that decentralizes student loans – crowdfunding with personal tokens.

    How does it work?

    The future student creates its personal token. This token is put on the Student Coin market. The STC holders purchase the tokens until the student receives the money needed for tuition. After the student graduates and finds a job, a part of his salary will be locked to pay the loan. The STC holders receive a cyclical profit payment for their involvement.

    This project is sustained by over 500 top universities worldwide, including Harvard University, the University of Manchester, and the University of Copenhagen.

    A simple way for students to get the funds they need to achieve their dreams. At least, that’s the main focus, but this process can also be done for visionary entrepreneurs.

    And that’s not the only reason why Student Coin studs out. Holding STC tokens give users the chance to vote in the project’s development and even sign petitions if they’re needed. It’s an entire ecosystem created to give people what they need and raise the utility of cryptocurrencies.

    How can you buy STC tokens?

    To get your STC tokens as soon as possible, make sure you don’t miss the Student Coin Launchpad ICO, available until April 30th.

    Although it started just 23 days ago, the team already raised $2 million worth of STC tokens and completed 35 phases.

    Every phase finished till now had a hard cap of 100K USD, and the price increased by 0.0002 USD with every reloads.

    Joining the ICO doesn’t just give you access to these tokens in advance, but it also gives you additional assets.

    If you recommend the ICO to your friends and send them a unique referral link, you can earn 20% of ETH invested by every friend of yours, alongside 30% of their STC purchases.

    Your friends also get an additional 5% of STC purchased.

    And that’s what we call a fun activity!

    Who is behind Student Coin?

    Student coin is backed by a dedicated team of 44 people from 12 different countries, ready to expand crypto usability and create solutions for the world’s needs. Among them, you can find the former CTO of IBM for Europe, for example, or the president of the Harvard University Club of Poland.

    By the end of 2021, the team plans to develop and implement STC Exchange, STC Terminal, and even an STC App, alongside listing the token on major crypto exchanges.

    So, if their innovative ideas caught your attention, join the ICO and make sure to follow them on social media to be up to date with their features.

  • Ethereum is the Pace-Setter For Cryptocurrency ICOs

    Ethereum is the Pace-Setter For Cryptocurrency ICOs

    You probably know about Ethereum – it’s the second-biggest cryptocurrency and its network is actively used by hundreds of thousands, if not millions of users. If you have a diversified cryptocurrency portfolio, you probably hold a few Ethereum-based tokens, as Ethereum is by far the most popular platform for projects that want to issue their own tokens.

    Despite some of the platform’s scalability issues, which can result in costly transaction fees, new projects are constantly growing on Ethereum. In fact, a very large percentage of altcoin projects owe their existence to the Ethereum blockchain.

    From a measly $0.4 price during the ICO, Ethereum grew to become one of the biggest cryptocurrencies as well as the most used blockchain network. The road hasn’t been easy, but the Ethereum project has managed to successfully navigate many challenges. 

    On August 30, 2014, Ethereum announced the end of its public token sale. The team raised $16 million to foster the development of what would become the most prominent blockchain project. After selling at an average price of under 0.5 USD during the ICO, ETH grew into one of the most valuable crypto assets. Since its initial offering, it has produced returns of over 3,000x times and reached an all-time high of over $2,000.

    A $1 investment in ETH at ICO price would worth over $4,000 at press time. Only one other cryptocurrency project can proudly boast of such a plentiful return – Bitcoin. Ethereum’s ROI influenced the popular belief in the potential of cryptocurrency ICOs – no investor wants to miss out on ‘the next Ethereum’. Ethereum’s massive gains following its initial coin offering paved the way for an era of new projects making their way into the crypto space via fundraising programs.

    But this is not the only way Ethereum has pioneered the ICO boom and the proliferation of blockchain projects.

    The Ethereum blockchain features smart contract functionality that allows developers to create new cryptographic tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. These cryptographic tokens run parallel to the network’s native asset, ETH. In addition to ETH, other tokens can run on the same Ethereum blockchain. This feature set off a spontaneous effect and has set the crypto space ablaze since it was first announced and used.

    For cryptocurrency developers, creating a new blockchain is only a choice, not a necessity. But whether a new project wishes to develop its own blockchain or not, Ethereum’s smart contract platform simplifies the process of raising funds to develop a blockchain project. New projects can easily issue Ethereum-based tokens and use them to raise funding. To raise funds for the projects’ development, founders would simply offer these tokens to investors. If good tokenomics are applied, these tokens would grow in value as the project gains traction.

    Ethereum has been the platform of choice many notable projects before they launched their mainnet, and the ICO boom was almost entirely facilitated by the Ethereum blockchain. A good amount of autonomous altcoin projects only surfaced and survived because they utilized the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is far from done in its duty of bringing new projects to life and housing existing ones while spreading the real benefits of blockchain technology.

    Many other blockchains have also developed smart contract platforms which allow users mint new and circulate new tokens on the blockchain. The Tron network, for example, has emerged as a competitor to the Ethereum network on all round. With a cheaper and faster blockchain, Tron aims to solve some of the biggest issues of the Ethereum blockchain. Despite this, Ethereum retains its pioneering prestige and continues to be the number one choice for elite projects.

    It is pertinent to say that Ethereum paved the way for a new generation of cryptocurrency and blockchain projects whose real focus is creating utility and attempting to offer solutions to real world issues. No doubt, Ethereum has also been the platform for some “shitcoins”, but the number of reputable projects growing from this unique blockchain is quite astounding.
