O varejista japonês Rakuten, que aceita criptografia, agora está permitindo que os usuários da Rakuten Wallet, sua subsidiária de troca de criptografia, gastem facilmente seus acervos de criptomoedas em transações diárias

De acordo com um anúncio publicado na última quarta-feira, os usuários agora podem carregar suas contas Rakuten Pay perfeitamente com suas carteiras de Bitcoin ( BTC ), Bitcoin Cash ( BCH ) e Ether ( ETH ). Rakuten Pay é um aplicativo de pagamento móvel que está operacional em todo o país e é compatível com uma ampla gama de varejistas de grande e médio porte.

Em 2019, a Rakuten já havia permitido que os consumidores convertessem seus pontos de fidelidade do Grupo Rakuten em criptomoedas como Bitcoin. Agora, uma integração mais profunda está sendo implementada, unindo Rakuten Wallet, Rakuten Cash (serviço de dinheiro eletrônico da Rakuten) e Rakuten Pay para apoiar os gastos com criptomoedas em varejistas como McDonald’s, Seiyu e FamilyMart.

Não haverá taxas de conversão entre fiat, e-money e crypto holdings, embora haja um valor mínimo de gasto de 1.000 ienes (cerca de US $ 9,40) e um limite máximo mensal de cerca de 100.000 ienes (cerca de US $ 940)

Para fazer uso da integração, os usuários precisarão ser membros da Rakuten e ter uma conta de negociação configurada para a Carteira Rakuten. A empresa também está oferecendo um pequeno bônus de pontos Rakuten para incentivar o novo serviço.

Litecoin Prijs Analyse: februari

Litecoin was behoorlijk bullish op de grafieken. De $190 regio bood wat weerstand, maar het momentum op langere termijn staat aan de kant van de bulls en de vraag zal de prijzen waarschijnlijk hoger stuwen.

Litecoin veegde voorbij de range highs, maar kreeg te maken met wat verkoopdruk in de $192 regio. Niet afgeschrikt, deden LTC-stieren een poging om de range highs nogmaals te doorbreken en het om te Bitcoin Up buigen naar een gebied met vraag.

Gedurende de laatste paar maanden is de trend gestaag bullish geweest. Midden december was de vorming van een range te zien en Litecoin zakte naar de range lows van $123. Eind januari trok het momentum aan toen stieren de controle over de markt overnamen.

De vraag dreef de prijzen hoger, en nadat het midden van de range werd omgebogen naar support, werd bevestigd dat het momentum aan de kant van de bulls lag.

Op de korte termijn is de $190 regio een koersdoel. Op de langere termijn echter, biedt $180-$190 een goede gelegenheid om LTC te kopen.

De technische indicatoren toonden aan dat LTC sterk bullish is op lange termijn basis. De RSI en MACD stegen om het stijgende bullish momentum aan te duiden. De OBV is in de afgelopen maanden gestaag gestegen, omdat het koopvolume groter was dan het verkoopvolume.

De Stochastics RSI bevond zich dicht bij het overboughtgebied, maar wijst voorlopig niet op overspannen marktcondities.

Niveaus om in de gaten te houden

Er zijn twee scenario’s die kunnen spelen voor Litecoin in de toekomst. De uitbraak voorbij het $180 level betekent dat zodra $190 is gepasseerd, het volgende niveau van significante weerstand pas bij $207 ligt. Gebaseerd op de breedte van de range, zou een uitbraak een technisch doel van $240 opleveren voor LTC om te bereiken in de komende weken. Vandaar dat de $180-$190 regio een koop-zone is.

Conclusie

Een uitbraak voorbij de range highs op sterk bullish momentum laat zien dat Litecoin waarschijnlijk de grafieken zal beklimmen, met $207 en $240 die naar verwachting weerstand zullen bieden onderweg. Een terugval onder $180 zou Litecoin $170 als steun zien testen.

Borgermesteren i Miami, Francis Suarez, har avslørt at han er åpen for å utforske å tildele 1% av byens skattereserver til bitcoin. Suarez har utforsket kryptovalutaen de siste ukene.

En del av byens skattereserver til BTC

Ordføreren i byen Miami, Florida, avslørte at han er åpen for å fordele en del av byens skattereserver til BTC som svarer på en tweet fra Anthony Pompliano (aka “Pomp”), medstifter og partner i Morgan Creek Digital Assets, og ber om bevegelsen.

Retweet dette hvis du vil flytte til Miami hvis ordfører @FrancisSuarez setter 1% av byens statskassereserver i Bitcoin.

I henhold til tilgjengelige data vil tildelingen være betydelig mindre enn investeringene flere firmaer har gjort i bitcoin i fjor. MicroStrategy har for eksempel kjøpt over 1 milliard dollar i BTC, mens Miamis tildeling kan være på rundt 18 millioner dollar.

For noen i kryptosamfunnet er flyttingen imidlertid en del av en bredere omfavnelse av flaggskipskryptovalutaen. En annen bruker ba ordfører Francis Suarez om å la innbyggerne betale for bytjenester i flaggskipskryptovalutaen „som en start.“ Som svar sa Suarez at byen vil „definitivt“ jobbe med det i år.

Som svar pekte andre brukere på den valgte senatoren Cynthia Lummis, som har lovet å øke BTCs profil i Kongressen når hun tiltrer sitt verv. I løpet av en podcast sa Wyoming Republication at hun mener bitcoin er en stor verdiverdi som kan bidra til å takle den amerikanske statsgjelden, som sies å være en av hennes største bekymringer.

Fordi det er en endelig tilførsel av BTC

For senator-valgt bitcoin er en bedre butikk av verdi enn papirpenger, fordi det er en endelig tilførsel av BTC som kan være i omløp: 21 millioner mynter. Inflasjon, sa hun, er „innbakt i Federal Reserve’s plan for amerikanske dollar“, til det punktet at folk som lever av sparepengene sine ved pensjonering, ser at deres kjøpekraft blir uthulet av inflasjon.

Adopsjonen av Bitcoin ser ut til å ikke bare være blant selskaper, men også offentlige tjenestemenn. Etterspørselen etter kryptovalutaen har økt de siste månedene, noe som har bidratt til at prisen for første gang overgår $ 30.000.

Polkastarter DEX launches with limited liquidity pools.

The platform aims to compete with Ethereum with high speed transactions.

The POLS token price is up 75% this month

A new decentralized exchange has appeared in the already crowded DeFi space. The platform is offered by the Polkadot network, Ethereum’s rival.

December 15th marks the official launch date of the Immediate Bitcoin. The platform was designed for cross-chain token pools and auctions, with the aim of enabling projects to raise capital on the Polkadot network .

Polkastarter was officially announced in September when the project listed its native POLS token on Uniswap. It has now been brought online with the first cash pool offering rewards for exchanging ETH for POLS.

Tomorrow we are launching the new @polkastarter website with our new branding. The logo and other elements are now updated on all social media.

There are two other pools that are still in the testing phase that should offer exchanges with SpiderDAO, a privacy-based online project.

A DEX different from the others?

While Polkastarter is entering an already crowded DEX ecosystem, it will offer new features like cross-chain pools, all-asset support, fixed swap pools, and a secure listed pool.

It also allows projects to list tokens at a fixed price. This should help ensure lower volatility at launch, as prices will be held for as long as the initial token supply lasts.

DEX already has a growing list of partners which includes the secure data transfer platform Shyft Network, the Moonbeam Network which processes the Solidity programming language, the automated liquidity provider Orion Protocol, the API service provider Covalent and the open platform. -source oracle active decentralized information (DIA).

Institutional investor Digital Finance Group has also pledged financial support for the platform.

Polkadot, which powers the new DEX, has openly said it has targeted Ethereum and aims to „go well beyond the current ERC-20 standard.“

The week begins in the sign of altcoin. First and foremost, it’s the prices of Ethereum and Ripple, which achieve a double-digit increase in just a few hours.

The movement started during the weekend and saw the euphoria of the rise that had exalted Bitcoin last week, moving to the altcoins.

Ethereum and Ripple prices drag down the altcoins

Ethereum in the last few hours is back above $600, a level not recorded since May 26, 2018. Ripple also returns to the levels of November 2018 and regains the 55 cents of dollars. These rises drag the entire altcoin sector.

It’s a moment of glory for the whole sector that returns above $550 billion of capitalization, the highest level since January 2018.

Unlike what was happening last week, this additional total market cap gain in the last 48 hours also benefits from the rise in altcoin capitalisation.

Taking Bitcoin’s capitalization down to $343 billion, altcoins alone capitalize over $207 billion, the highest level not seen since the end of May 2018.

The strong bullish movement of the last few hours has also gained ground for the dominance of Ethereum, which is now more than 12.2%, a market share that ETH has not recorded since the beginning of September.

Ripple, on the other hand, even returned over 4.5%, the highest level since December 2019.

Today, ETHs and XRPs are the best among the big ones, with Stellar (XLM) earning as much as ETH +12%, but Ripple has earned 20% over the last 24 hours. XRP doubles its share from last Monday’s levels.

Generally speaking, only Horizen (ZEN) is better, earning 44% on a daily basis, an ecosystem of an alternative blockchain that scales down the sidechain protocol making it decentralized and customizable.

The euphoria of altcoin does not infect DeFi

This movement with a strong strengthening of Ethereum, the most used token as collateral in DeFi, does not show a particular recovery by DeFi with the TVL that remains over 14 billion but without any particular upturn.

This is due to the situation of Uniswap which sees users continue to demobilise ETH’s collateral positions. The number of ETHs in the various protocols is falling, below 7 million, the lowest level since early September.

The number of bitcoins blocked in the Defi sector remains stable, at just over 170,000.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin surpasses the weekend staying close to the record levels of the last 3 years, recorded at the end between Friday and Saturday, with the price of Bitcoin that for the first time since December 2017 has reached 18,950 dollars. For Bitcoin it is the highest level since mid December 2017.

It is a trend at the moment supported more by the technical aspect than by the volumes: in fact, during the weekend the exchanges have decreased and they remained above 3 billion dollars, but below the record set last week at 6.5 billion for one of the days with the most exchanges of the year,

It’s a delicate week for BTC, which will have to find confirmation of the $17,500, a real level of support in the medium term.

Ethereum (ETH)

The strong bullish movement makes Ethereum gain about 30% from Friday’s levels. It is an impulsive movement that makes the quotations fly to the highest levels of the last two years, abandoned at the end of May 2018.

ETH remains healthy despite the period of uncertainty that lasted throughout October. November is proving to be a month to be redeemed with this strong jump upwards.

The continuation of the week is now important for Ethereum. In contrast to BTC, ETH has created a more solid structure and this is confirmed by the trend of these hours that see Ethereum leap above $600 for the first time since May 2018.

Bitcoinatingiu hoje um novo recorde histórico, com o mercado de criptomoeda líder chegando a US $ 19.800 nas últimas horas. Este marco quebrou o recorde anterior de $ 19.666 registrado na bolsa Bitstamp em 16 de dezembro de 2017.

Grande marco para Bitcoin

Criar um novo recorde histórico representa um marco importante para o Bitcoin no que foi um ano notável para a moeda principal. O Bitcoin foi capaz de enfrentar uma grande crise econômica, como a pandemia Covid-19, e embarcou em uma longa corrida de alta desde sua baixa anual em março.

Bitcoin ganhou mais de 150% em valor nos últimos oito meses em uma corrida de alta que surpreendeu muitos dentro da comunidade de criptografia. A moeda principal se afastou da especulação econômica tradicional e traçou sua própria tendência nos últimos meses.

O Bitcoin foi capaz de se recuperar no fim de semana após sofrer um crash repentino na quinta-feira que resultou na moeda abaixo de $ 17.000. O Bitcoin conseguiu obter ganhos constantes no sábado e no domingo, levando a moeda a entrar na nova semana com grandes expectativas da comunidade de criptografia.

Alcançar o máximo histórico é apenas o começo, de acordo com os principais interessados ​​que acreditam que estamos no meio de uma corrida de alta. No momento em que este artigo foi escrito, o Bitcoin foi corrigido e está avaliado em $ 19.300.

A demanda institucional aumentou em 2020

A recente corrida de alta também foi impulsionada pelo aumento da adoção de instituições e entidades financeiras tradicionais. Escala de cinza fundos de investimento têm mais de US $ 10 bilhões em criptomoedas, com uma grande proporção em Bitcoin. MicroStrategy também foi notícia por dois enormes investimentos em Bitcoin, totalmente em torno de US $ 500 milhões. PayPal também se juntou ao trem anunciando planos para apoiar Bitcoin e outras criptomoedas em outubro.

Além das instituições, a indústria de varejo de Bitcoin experimentou um crescimento maciço, que é evidente no número total de endereços de Bitcoin ativos atingindo níveis históricos. A capitalização de mercado do Bitcoin também registrou níveis recordes nos últimos dias. Com mais instituições financeiras definidas para investir na moeda principal, há previsões de que seu preço só continuará a subir nos próximos meses.

Como esperado, as notícias de que o Bitcoin atingiu seu ponto mais alto foi recebido com entusiasmo pela comunidade de criptografia. A próxima grande resistência para o Bitcoin é a marca de $ 20.000, que marcaria a próxima fase da corrida de alta.

Coinbase a subi de multiples pannes depuis mars, coïncidant souvent avec des jours de négociation Bitcoin volatils.

Coinbase semble avoir un problème de capacité

Les utilisateurs ont souligné pendant des années que lorsque le Bitcoin Profit et d’autres actifs cryptographiques sont particulièrement volatils, l’échange se déconnecte parfois sans avertissement. Ces pannes peuvent empêcher les clients d’acheter ou de vendre leurs actifs cryptographiques et sont généralement perçues défavorablement par les traders.

Entre mars et novembre, la bourse a enregistré neuf problèmes différents menant à divers types de pannes ou de problèmes de connectivité, bien que l’impact direct sur les clients soit quelque peu incertain dans certains cas. Les problèmes varient apparemment dans leur degré de gravité. La principale mise à jour de statut publiée par Coinbase pendant ces périodes est la suivante: «Coinbase.com rencontre des problèmes de connectivité.»

Quatre de ces cas ont coïncidé avec une action volatile des prix Bitcoin, selon des bougies de prix de 30 minutes sur TradingView.com

Le 29 avril, Coinbase a signalé des problèmes de connectivité. Dans une mise à jour de son statut publiée plus tard, Coinbase.com semble avoir subi des problèmes entre 10h00 et 12h30 PDT ce jour-là. Le prix du Bitcoin a évolué de 4,54% pendant cette période. Cointelegraph a déjà signalé des difficultés de plate-forme observées ce jour-là.

Le 9 mai, Coinbase a informé le public d’une autre difficulté , déclarant à nouveau: «Coinbase.com rencontre des problèmes de connectivité.» Cette fois, le prix de Bitcoin a évolué de 15,26% entre 17h00 et 18h00 PDT – la fenêtre horaire montrant des difficultés, en fonction du statut, qui comprenait également des détails supplémentaires publiés plusieurs jours après.

South Korea will ban privacy wedges like Monero and ZCash.

Crypto exchanges in South Korea must remove these darks coins from their platform by March 21, 2021.

Privacy wedges remain in the sights of financial regulators around the world.

Privacy coins or wedges like Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) will become illegal in South Korea from March 2021.

This is the latest attack on the encryption and privacy of these coins, as regulators enact laws targeting such protocols amid heightened efforts to combat money laundering (AML).

The “dark coins” on the gallows in South Korea

According to a report in the Asia Times of 18 November, South Korean regulators should prohibit confidential currency corners. As of March 21, 2021, crypto exchanges in the country will no longer be allowed to list privacy-focused crypto coins such as Dash (DASH), XMR, and ZEC.

Commenting on the reason for the ban, the country’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) revealed that these “dark coins” were popular among cybercrime syndicates and money launderers.

According to the FSC, unlike mainstream cryptos like Bitcoin :

Privacy wedges add a third-party process that hides these transaction records, thus making the parties involved completely anonymous and also making it extremely difficult for law enforcement to locate them.

South Korea now joins Japan as the second country to specifically ban privacy corners. Countries like Bolivia, Morocco, and Pakistan have blanket bans on all forms of cryptocurrency.

For the FSC, the ban on confidential digital parts is part of the government’s efforts to fight money laundering. The move also fits within existing laws on cryptocurrency trading in countries that prohibit anonymous accounts for users of cryptocurrency exchanges.

In March, the South Korean parliament passed landmark regulations that formally legalized crypto trading in the country . However, the new law came with a provision stating that exchanges work with banks to ensure the use of „real name accounts“.

Some crypto exchanges in the country have already removed privacy corners from their trade catalogs. As previously reported by BeInCrypto.com, OKEx Korea has removed five dark corners of its platform in September 2019.

Besides banning privacy wedges, South Korean authorities are also working on other crypto-focused regulations. In October, reports pointed to plans to create a virtual asset trading law that would include provisions such as exemptions for certain utility tokens.

Il cittadino russo legato al riciclaggio di 4 miliardi di dollari di Bitcoin rubati durante l’hackeraggio del monte Gox è finalmente in tribunale.

Il processo al presunto riciclatore di 4 miliardi di dollari di Bitcoin (BTC), Alexander Vinnik, ha preso il via lunedì a Parigi.

Tuttavia, nonostante i legami segnalati con l’hack di 300.000 BTC di Mt. Gox nel 2014, i pubblici ministeri si stanno concentrando su una frode di 135 milioni di euro (159 milioni di dollari) di riscatto che ha colpito imprese e organizzazioni francesi tra il 2016 e il 2018.

Secondo l’Associated Press, il cittadino russo Vinnik è accusato di estorsione, riciclaggio di denaro sporco e associazione a delinquere dopo che 20 vittime del malware „Locky“ hanno pagato il riscatto in Bitcoin Code attraverso BTC-e.

Vinnik è presunto essere uno dei creatori del malware e l’ex operatore del cambio di valuta criptata, anche se sostiene di essere stato solo un consulente tecnico di BTC-e e di non essere a conoscenza di alcun illecito.

Se giudicato colpevole, Vinnik rischia fino a 10 anni di prigione.

Come riportato dal Cointelegraph, Vinnik è stato originariamente arrestato in Grecia nel 2017 per volere delle autorità statunitensi.

A seguito di un tiro alla fune legale, i procuratori di Francia, Stati Uniti e Russia hanno tutti presentato una petizione per la sua estradizione. Lo stesso Vinnik ha espresso la preferenza per l’estradizione in Russia, dove si trova ad affrontare accuse minori.

All’inizio di quest’anno, le autorità greche hanno stabilito che sarebbe stato estradato prima in Francia, poi negli Stati Uniti e infine in Russia.

Anche dopo la sua estradizione in Francia, le autorità russe hanno chiesto, senza successo, che gli fosse permesso di tornare nel suo paese d’origine agli arresti domiciliari.

Se processato negli Stati Uniti in futuro, Vinnik dovrà probabilmente affrontare le accuse relative all’hackeraggio da 4 miliardi di dollari del monte Gox. I 300.000 BTC rubati nell’hack sono stati presumibilmente riciclati attraverso lo scambio di BTC-e e il portafoglio personale di Vinnik.
