    Cardano Innovators KICK.IO’s Public Sale is Preparing for Liftoff on ExMarkets, September 16

    After an abysmal July, the world of DeFi is once again picking up speed – with Cardano ahead of the pack. As the price of Cardano soars to new heights, its widespread community is looking for projects that will accelerate the seismic reorientation of the DeFi industry away from Ethereum.

    KICK.IO, a non-custodial fundraising launchpad on the Cardano Network, promises to kick this plan into gear. To achieve its goals, it has chosen to hold its IEO on ExMarkets on September 16th, a decentralized exchange that is increasingly becoming a household name within the Cardano community. Following the successful public sales of ADAX and YaySwap (among many others) – the choice of the platform does not surprise anyone.

    KICK.IO platform is expected to mature into the place where Cardano’s extensive community can come together to fund high-growth projects, and pick tomorrow’s winners. Led by a team of finance professionals, KICK.IO offers full Cardano native token support, as well as a suite of project kickstarting and endorsement capabilities projects need to thrive and prosper. In looking out for the interests of investors, KICK.IO ensures that only the most credible and promising projects make it through — the ones with the highest potential to make a meaningful contribution to the Cardano ecosystem.

  • Banking Giants Wells Fargo and JPMorgan File for Bitcoin Funds

    Banking Giants Wells Fargo and JPMorgan File for Bitcoin Funds

    On Thursday, two of the bigger players in the financial sector, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan registered their respective passive Bitcoin funds with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

    Key takeaways:

    • Both companies are working with New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) financial services firm, which is dedicated to Bitcoin, to bring cryptocurrency services to their respective users. NYDIG has filed for a Bitcoin ETF in February and is still awaiting a response from the SEC.
    • The new cryptocurrency services will be passively managed, meaning that investments won’t be directly managed by a portfolio manager, but will instead automatically follow a market index without active management decisions.
    • Wells Fargo thus confirmed earlier reports of the bank launching a service to provide cryptocurrency exposure to its wealthy clients.
    • JPMorgan unveiled its first crypto service offering late in July. The bank gave its clients access to five investment options, four Grayscale products and one from Osprey Funds.
    • The recent trend of big financial institutions providing cryptocurrency services is directly tied to last year’s decision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The new policy enabled big banks to hold Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
  • Ways to Use Cryptocurrency in 2021

    Ways to Use Cryptocurrency in 2021

    Cryptocurrency has been a hot topic of discussion for many years now. Cryptocurrency has been having a bit of a moment and by the looks of it, it seems like it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. With that said, it’s better to stay informed and educate yourself on ways to use cryptocurrency in 2021.

    The birth of the internet, as well as computers, has brought in many innovative payment systems such as credit cards, debit cards, mobile wallets, UPI, and more. The crypto revolution started with Bitcoin back in October of 2008. Fast forward to 2021, where there are almost 6000 actively traded cryptocurrencies. 

    With so many options available, it can be very tricky to find the one right for your wants and needs. Out of 6000 actively traded cryptocurrencies, the top three cryptocurrencies are:

    1. Bitcoin
    2. Etherium 
    3. Ripple

    Keep in mind that a cryptocurrency is a form of currency that has been around only 10 years, which means that this is a brand new technology that has already shown its ability to fundamentally disrupt the global financial system. 

    However, in no way shape or form is crypto perfect. One thing that is certain, crypto has created a paradigm shift in the way we look at money, how we buy it and how we potentially spend it. 

    Finally, another area in which crypto seems to get a lot of attention is the online gambling industry. While the price of Bitcoin and other altcoins shifts, for the present times, it seems like cryptocurrency is set to become a common part of online gambling platforms

    Most Commonly Asked Questions about Cryptocurrency 

    Although cryptocurrencies are not yet mainstream, a growing number of companies and financial institutions are buying into them. In general, crypto is being labeled as the future of money. While some people see cryptocurrencies as a great potential, others think that this trend will die soon.

    Regardless, many people are interested in exploring this relatively new topic. One of the most commonly asked questions about cryptos is how they actually work. Although not all cryptos operate in the same way, most of them use blockchain technology to make secure transactions.

    How Does it Work?

    Generally, cryptos work similarly to a credit card, the main difference is that you exchange digital assets for goods and services instead of US dollars.  If you want to make a transaction you must exchange currency with a peer using a cryptocurrency wallet. And in order to complete a transaction, you need access to a private key. 

    The best comparison to a private key is a bank account. An individual can own multiple keys and own all the funds sent to those keys. At last, transactions you make are recorded on a public ledger, which shows the transaction totals but doesn’t show the identities of the parties involved in a transaction. 

    Is It Safe?

    Generally, crypto transactions are inherently more secure than other types of digital transactions, like online banking or peer-to-peer payment services. The more publicly recorded transactions that are added to the blockchain, the more secure the system is. 

    However, in no way shape or form does that mean that cryptos are not vulnerable to exit scams, thefts, cyberattacks, or money laundering. For instance, there have been noted fake coin launches. 

    Most Popular Ways to Use Bitcoin 

    As you may already know, Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. In general, you can use bitcoin to do just about anything you can possibly imagine. Even though most people use it in these three following ways, you should know that there are many, many more options at your disposal. 

    By far, the most popular way to use Bitcoin is to use it as an investment for the future. You can either use bitcoin to make a quick profit from investing in it or you can invest in bitcoin as a part of a long-term plan, rather than quick profits and losses. 

    Another popular way to use bitcoin is to spend it for everyday needs. Over the last couple of years, more and more places have started accepting bitcoin payments as an alternative form of payment. 

    Finally, you can use bitcoin for luxury expenses. You can use bitcoin to book flights and pay for hotel rooms. It can be noted that bitcoin users are more comfortable spending larger amounts on travel, which goes to show that bitcoin acceptance is beneficial for both consumers and merchants, no matter what product or service they offer.

  • Bridging The Gap Between Cryptos and Capital Markets Using Finhaven

    Bridging The Gap Between Cryptos and Capital Markets Using Finhaven

    The Capital Market and the crypto market have been existing side-by-side for more than a decade. Many people believe that there will never be a connection between these two seemingly parallel markets for many years. However, there have been different projects working on bridging the gap and connecting these two markets. One of such projects is Finhaven.

    Finhaven appears to be leading the charge to create a workable ecosystem where people can use their crypto assets to transact in the Capital Markets. Doing this requires certain things to be in place. How does Finhaven hope to achieve this feat in today’s financial environment?

    What is Finhaven Private Markets?

    Finhaven is Vancouver-based financial services and technology company. Its capital markets technology platform is built on distributed ledger technology and digital securities. Finhaven Private Markets is Canada’s first digital securities marketplace. It seeks to lead the shift of global capital markets and exchanges from book-based systems to digital-based systems. Finhaven is seeking to redefine how the next generation of securities trading will look like. It is simplifying the capital markets, and providing the cryptocurrency community with access to these markets.

    Aside from creating highly efficient private markets, Finhaven hopes to leverage its core blockchain technology to grow into a leader in the transition of global capital markets and stock exchanges. Most especially, the platform seeks to create an interconnection between the capital market and the crypto market. This will be achieved through the use of the Finhaven token called the FinToken.

    Overview of the FinToken

    Before now, crypto holders couldn’t purchase digital securities with crypto assets like bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, monero, ripple, etc. Finhaven is introducing a utility token known as the FinToken to bridge the gap between crypto markets and capital markets. FinToken facilitates the trading of cryptocurrencies for digital securities. It also functions as a connector between crypto commodities and offering self-custody in the crypto space. The Finhaven token serves series of purposes, and they include the following:

    Diversify Cryptocurrency Portfolio

    FinToken will make it possible for accredited investors who have Finhaven Private Markets accounts to buy digital securities using crypto assets.

    You Can Trade Digital Securities

    With FinToken, you can trade digital securities even in a fully regulated marketplace. You won’t have to deal with multiple intermediaries such as broker-dealers, transfer agents, and custodians.

    You Have Total Custody Of Your Crypto Assets

    Your digital securities and crypto assets will be securely held in your FINWallet, where you will be the only one with access to the private key. Therefore, you are the only person with custody of your securities.

    Have Access To Your Crypto Portfolio Through FINWallet

    The FINWallet serves as a multi-crypto-exchange connector, a one access point to all your crypto accounts. You can manage your crypto portfolio with the FINWallet.

    How to Buy Digital Securities With Crypto Assets

    For example, you own crypto assets and you want to buy securities in private companies with your crypto assets. You can purchase FinToken using your crypto assets or fiat currency and hold the token in your FINWallet. Then you can take a look at the digital securities from private companies available on the Finhaven Private Markets.

    To buy digital securities, Investors can convert the Finhaven tokens to fiat currency. In the future, Finhaven hopes to use FinToken as a direct medium of exchange for digital securities. Investors can hold your purchased digital securities in their FINWallet. In addition, investors will also be able to trade those digital securities with other Finhaven Private Market investors.

  • More Than 3,000 MIT Students Received $100 of Bitcoin in 2014 – What Happened Next?

    More Than 3,000 MIT Students Received $100 of Bitcoin in 2014 – What Happened Next?

    Key takeaways:

    • Dan Elitzer and Jeremy Rubin started Bitcoin experiment in October 2014, which saw more than 3,000 undergraduate MIT students receive 100$ worth of BTC
    • 10% of students converted BTC to fiat in the first two weeks, while by the end of the experiment in 2017 25% had cashed out
    • A large number of Bitcoin went towards buying sushi at a restaurant on the campus, which is somewhat reminiscent of the famous ‘Bitcoin Pizza’ story

    When Jeremy Rubin, then a computer science and electrical engineering sophomore enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2014, he expected that most of the students on the campus would be familiar and excited about Bitcoin. When he found out that wasn’t the case he garnered the support of crypto enthusiasts to collect donations, which he would use to give each interested student $100 worth of BTC. 3,108 undergraduates took him up on the offer and so the Bitcoin experiment was born.

    The Bitcoin experiment

    Rubin and his project partner Dan Elitzer prepared a questionnaire for each of the students to complete and provided educational materials to guide students on their Bitcoin journey. Rubin said that he was driven by the idea of spreading a new technology and at the same time he wanted to learn about the intricacies of distributing a new asset.

    “We wanted to get bitcoin out in the world more, and we wanted to spread the technology. We also wanted to study what it means to distribute a new asset.” – Jeremy Rubin on the MIT Bitcoin Project

    Despite MIT being on the cutting edge of science and technology, most students were unfamiliar with the idea of cryptocurrencies and had no idea about the future prospects of Bitcoin. A tenth of the BTC recipients cashed out their funds within the first two weeks. 

    However, a small minority took advantage of the opportunity and provided “Bitcoin customer support” of sorts by setting up crypto wallets in exchange for a commission paid in BTC. Van Phu, who later became a co-founder of crypto broker Floating Point Group, recalls setting up more than 10 people with crypto wallets at the time. 

    “A lot of the students would pay the other students half of the bitcoin if they would set it up on their behalf.” – Van Phu, co-founder of Floating Point Group and a participant of the BTC experiment

    Some early adopters used their Bitcoin on sushi, others held on to it as an investment

    Phu also recollects spending a huge amount of BTC on sushi, which he regrets to this day. In fact, spending BTC on buying fish was very commonplace as about half the people who received free crypto frequently went to Thelonious Monkfish, a sushi restaurant on the MIT.

    A lot of BTC was spent on buying sushi. A $100 USD dinner then is worth more than $17,000 in today’s prices.

    Spending BTC to buy sushi is very reminiscent of the famous ‘Bitcoin pizza’ story. In 2010 programmer Laszlo Hanyecz spent 10,000 BTC on buying two pizzas from Papa John’s, which coincidentally marked the first time BTC was used in a commercial transaction. To make matters worse, Hanyecz reportedly made additional orders following the original one. Later on, the 22nd of May become celebrated in the crypto community as “Pizza Day”. At current prices, the two pizzas were worth approximately $445 million. 

    Cristian Catalini was among the researchers who were paying close attention to the experiment. By 2017, when the project was over as the transactions were no longer being tracked, Catalini says that 25% withdrew their crypto funds to fiat. This means that most students held on to their BTC. A hundred US dollars worth of BTC in 2014, is about $18,000 in today’s prices. 

    “What was fascinating is that in a sense, the MIT students got it right. The vast majority held on to their bitcoin as an investment. And maybe it sounds obvious given the price has appreciated so dramatically. But I think in 2014, it wasn’t clear at all that something that was worth at the time, I think $250, would be worth more than that.” – Cristian Catalini, co-creator of Diem 

    Several participants of the experiment give credit to the project as the reason for their involvement in crypto later on in life. For instance, Rubin became the CEO of bitcoin research and deployment organization Judica. The experiment’s co-head Dan Erlitz co-founded Nascent, a global, multi-strategy investment firm focused on crypto and open finance. Van Phu co-founded a cryptocurrency brokering firm. Sam Trabucco is CEO of Alameda Research, which specializes in Bitcoin and altcoin trading. 

    There are certainly other, less publicly known MIT undergrads of 2014 who also have their lives changed by a relatively small initial BTC donation. Having been introduced to Bitcoin early on and having a crypto wallet already set up certainly made it easier to establish a presence in the crypto industry and make a career out of it.

  • KuCoin Futures Exceeds 3 Million Users on Its Second Anniversary

    KuCoin Futures Exceeds 3 Million Users on Its Second Anniversary

    Victoria, Seychelles, 19th August, 2021,

    KuCoin, a global leading crypto exchange  welcomes two-year anniversary of their Futures service. The service keeps growing  fast thanks to outstanding support from KuCoin users. KuCoin Futures was launched  in August 2019 and ushers in its second anniversary. Since the initial launch, the  platform has become one of the top 10 global Futures trading platforms on the  market today.  

    The team fondly remembers the day when they introduced the first Bitcoin Perpetual  contract. Today, that investment mechanism spans over 60 different  cryptocurrencies on KuCoin. The number of contract users increased by 260% and  the open interests (OI) increased by 15 times compared to last year.  

    “The user interface and experience of KuCoin Futures have improved dramatically  over the years. Initially, it was only accessible through a web portal, but it has  become a full-fledged web and mobile app experience,” said Johnny Lyu, CEO of  KuCoin, “In addition, many cryptocurrency enthusiasts rely on their smartphones for 

    trading purposes, and KuCoin acknowledges that trend early. These factors all  contribute to KuCoin Futures surpassing 3 million registered users in two years.”  

    After the initial success of the Bitcoin perpetual contract, the KuCoin Futures  platform began introducing support for more currencies and services. The first step  was Delivery contracts to create an example for the broader crypto futures trading  industry. Then, after enabling more support for hedging and arbitrage, the team  introduced numerous mainstream and promising cryptocurrency contracts to  promote exposure diversification.  

    With support for 13 languages and the LITE version to help novices get acquainted  with Futures Trading, KuCoin continues to raise the bar. Last year, the team  introduced the KuCoin Futures Brawl, gamifying the concept of crypto futures  trading. Over 200,000 users partook in this event and confirmed it was a fun  experience.  

    The future outlook for KuCoin Futures includes further upgrades for leverage and  initial margin ratios of certain contracts. Additionally, users can expect more  innovative products and features, including the KCS contract launch in Q4 2021.  Cross-collaterals are another important feature coming later this year, paving the  way for KuCoin Futures trading system 2.0, slated for a 2022 release.  

    To celebrate the two-year anniversary of the KuCoin Futures launch, the team began an anniversary carnival on August 18, 2021. During the event, a total of $1 million  USDT in bonuses will be awarded to users. That giveaway follows on the heels of  the warm-up $100,000 bonus giveaway, awarding users with trial funds and  deduction coupons based on their historical futures trading volume.  

    About KuCoin 

    Launched in September 2017, KuCoin is a global cryptocurrency exchange for over  400 digital assets. It currently provides Spot trading, Margin trading, P2P fiat trading,  Futures trading, Staking, and Lending to its 8 million users in 207 countries and  regions around the world.

  • Cardano Price Analysis – ADA Sees Much Needed Retracement As Buyers Take Short-Term Break

    Cardano Price Analysis – ADA Sees Much Needed Retracement As Buyers Take Short-Term Break

    Key takeaways:

    • ADA might have dropped 5% today but is still up 11% on the week.
    • The coin surged into the May high-day closing price at $2.28 and rolled over to break back beneath $2.00.
    • Against Bitcoin, Cardano hit June resistance at 4740 SAT and has since dropped to 4400 SAT.
    Cardano price$1.99
    Key ADA resistance levels$2.00, $2.10, $2.20, $2.28, $2.40, $2.51, $.260, $2.70, $2.78
    Key ADA support levels$1.90, $1.80, $1.75, $1.65, $1.60, $1.50, $1.45

    ADA fell back beneath $2.00 today after falling by a total of 5%. The cryptocurrency reached the May high-day closing price at around $2.28 on Saturday and has since rolled over from there as it starts to retrace.

    ADA is now up almost 70% over the past month, so it is no surprise that the market has started to retrace – allowing the buyers to have a short break before pushing higher again.

    With the latest price hikes, it seems that institutional investors are making their first moves into the Cardano blockchain. According to CoinShares, a crypto asset management firm, the Cardano blockchain has seen a total investment reaching $28 million from institutional investors.

    The primary fundamental driving force behind the recent ADA growth is the anticipated smart contract launch on the blockchain. The team recently announced that they are targeting September 12th to be the launch date for when smart contracts will go live on Cardano when the Alonzo upgrade finally goes live.

    This will usher in a new era for Cardano as projects will finally be able to launch on top of its blockchain – similar to how UNI, AAVE, and COMP are sitting on top of Ethereum.

    ADA remains ranked in the 5th position, as it currently holds a $62 billion market cap value. It will be interesting to observe what Cardano coin price prediction for 2022 will be.

    Let us take a look at the ADA markets and highlight some areas of support and resistance moving forward.

    Cardano Coin Price Analysis

    What has been going on?

    Taking a look at the daily chart above, we can see that ADA rebounded from $1.05 in the final half of July and started to climb higher inside an ascending price channel. Last week, ADA broke toward the upside of the price channel as it started to explode and turn parabolic.

    The parabolic move allowed ADA to initially surge into resistance at $1.90, provided by a bearish .618 Fib Retracement level. This resistance was finally penetrated last Friday, which saw ADA climbing further higher to meet resistance at $2.28 on Saturday. The resistance here was the high-day closing price seen in May.

    Since hitting this resistance, ADA has rolled over and started to fall. We can see that it is using the previous resistance at $1.90 as support and rebounded higher from there today as it battles to break $2.00 again.

    After such a parabolic move higher, it is no surprise that ADA is seeing a retracement. The retracement allows the buyers to take a little break before resetting and pushing the market higher again.

    Cardano price short term prediction: BULLISH

    The break above $1.50 has now turned ADA bullish in the short term as it pushed above the July highs. To turn neutral, ADA would need to drop beneath the 100-day EMA at $1.50. A break beneath $1.25 (.618 Fib & 200-day EMA) would turn the market bearish in the short term.

    Looking ahead, if the sellers push ADA beneath the $1.90 support, further support lies at $1.80 (.382 Fib Retracement), $1.74 (20-day EMA), and $1.65 (.5 Fib Retracement). Additional support is then expected at $1.50 (.618 Fib Retracement & 100-day EMA) and $1.45 (50-day EMA).

    Where Is The Resistance Toward The Upside?

    On the other side, the first resistance above $2.00 lies at $2.20 (bearish .786 Fib Retracement). This is followed by $2.28 (May high-day closing price), $2.40, and $2.51 (ATH price). Beyond the ATH, additional resistance lies at $2.60 (1.272 Fib Extension), $2.70, and $2.78 (1.414 Fib Extension).

    For some alternative analysis, I would recommend looking at this piece.

    ADA/BTC price analysis

    What has been going on?

    ADA is also performing remarkably well against BTC. Last week, the coin managed to break above a symmetrical triangle pattern as it exploded from 3200 SAT to push higher and hit the June resistance at 4740 SAT over the weekend. 

    It has since dropped lower from there as it dipped as low as 4230 SAT today. It has rebounded, and the bulls are attempting to regain the support around 4400 SAT, provided by a .236 Fib Retracement level.

    ADA/BTC price short term prediction: BULLISH

    The break above the July highs at 4200 SAT has allowed ADA to turn bullish in the short term. It would need to drop back beneath 4000 SAT (100-day EMA) to turn neutral again and would have to continue much further beneath the support at 3500 SAT (.786 Fib Retracement) to be in danger of turning bearish.
