Baanbrekend Crypto Bank, Sygnum, lanceert Bitcoin- en Ethereum-optiecontracten

Het in Zwitserland gevestigde Sygnum heeft bitcoin- en etheropties gelanceerd voor klanten die meer geavanceerde cryptocurrency-handelsstrategieën willen uitvoeren.

Digitale activabank Sygnum heeft over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency-opties voor klanten gelanceerd, volgens het officiële persbericht . Synum ontving in september 2020 goedkeuring van de Zwitserse financiële markttoezichthouder (FINMA), waardoor de bank gereguleerde digitale activahandeldiensten kan aanbieden.

Geavanceerde transacties en premies

De cryptobank zegt dat het nieuwe aanbod van activa haar klanten in staat zou stellen om geavanceerde investerings- en handelsstrategieën uit te voeren. De opties zouden beschikbaar zijn op zowel BTC / USD- als ETH / USD-handelsparen. Het persbericht legt uit,

“Opties spelen lange tijd een belangrijke rol in traditionele financiële markten als een instrument om beleggers te helpen navigeren door onvoorspelbare marktomstandigheden. Door de optiepremie te betalen, kunnen kopers deelnemen aan grotere prijsschommelingen, terwijl verkopers gebruik maken van verhoogde volatiliteitsniveaus en premiebetalingen innen om extra rendement op bestaande posities te genereren. “

Crypto-opties zijn een vorm van financieel derivaat dat de belegger het recht geeft, niet de verplichting, om op een afgesproken datum in de toekomst activa te kopen tegen een specifieke prijs, waarvoor ze verkopers een premie betalen. Als de prijs van het actief op expiratie hoger is dan de overeengekomen prijs, kunnen kopers hun contract uitvoeren en winst nemen of weigeren en de premie verliezen.

Zij zijn de nieuwe rave van de crypto trading wereld en worden langzaam outpacing spothandel

Het aanbod van gereguleerde opties van Sygnum omvat long- en shortpositionering, Europese OTC-call- en putopties, volledig aanpasbare strike- en expiratiedatums en afwikkeling in contanten. Dominic Lohberger, Head of Brokerage bij Sygnum Banknotes zei:

“Met opties kunnen klanten nu profiteren van elke prijsbeweging – of het nu een bull-, bear- of zijwaartse markt is. Ze kunnen ze ook gebruiken om posities af te dekken, een hefboomeffect op de markt te nemen of in volatiliteit te handelen. „

Bitcoin exceeds $ 35,000; his next goal would be $ 40,000?

Bitcoin hit a new all-time high on January 6.

Daily technical indicators are bullish, but smaller timescales are showing signs of weakness.

BTC broke a short term descending resistance line.

On Wednesday, January 6, the price of Bitcoin Superstar reached a new all-time high of $ 35,879.

Despite some weaknesses in the smaller timescales, Bitcoin is expected to continue to climb towards $ 39,000.

Another record high for Bitcoin

On January 3 and 4, BTC created two successive bearish candlesticks , a shooting star and a hangman . When found in an uptrend, they are normally bearish reversal signals. These indicators suggested that BTC was likely to decline.

That said, these bearish elements were eclipsed by a bullish candlestick on January 5, which virtually broke past previous highs.

On January 6, BTC finally hit another all-time high of $ 35,879.

In the day data, technical indicators have yet to show any sign of weakness

The six-hour chart shows that despite the new highs, both the RSI and the MACD show considerable weakness in the form of bearish divergences.

The divergence of the MACD is visible in the histogram as the line thereof. That said, the RSI has yet to complete a bearish swing failure (also known as “ swing failure ”).

The two hour chart shows a break above a descending resistance line which catalyzed the upward movement.

For the price to continue to rise, it needs to validate the $ 34,500 area as support, and stay above it.

The wave count suggests that BTC is in sub-wave 5 (in orange) of wave 5 (in blue).

While the rally is extremely wide and a correction is long overdue, the move on January 6 increases the possibility that BTC will have one more high to hit before its correction.

SEC beschuldigt australischen Fondsmanager des Betrugs

SEC beschuldigt australischen Fondsmanager des Betrugs

  • Die SEC hat den australischen Staatsbürger Stefan Qin des Betrugs beschuldigt.
  • Qin soll über fünf seiner Firmen, allen voran Virgil Capital, betrügerische Investmentfonds angeboten haben.
  • Dem Antrag der SEC, die entsprechenden Fonds einzufrieren, wurde stattgegeben.

Die US-Börsenaufsichtsbehörde hat Stefan Qin, einen australischen Staatsbürger, des kryptowährungsbezogenen Wertpapierbetrugs beschuldigt.

Angeblich betrügerische Angebote

Laut einer Pressemitteilung, die heute von der SEC veröffentlicht wurde, hat Qin seit 2018 betrügerische Krypto-Fondsanteile über fünf Geschäftseinheiten verkauft – namentlich Virgil Capital LLC und seine Tochtergesellschaften.

Die SEC sagt, dass die Unternehmen von Qin einen algorithmischen Kryptowährungshandelsfonds angeboten haben, der falsche Versprechungen und Zusicherungen laut Crypto Code gemacht hat. Sie fügt hinzu, dass seit Juli 2020 Investoren, die versuchten, ihre Fonds einzulösen, von den verschiedenen Unternehmen von Qin gesagt wurden, dass ihre Interessen auf einen anderen Fonds übertragen werden würden.

Die SEC ist der Ansicht, dass diese Anträge immer noch ausstehen und dass Qin diese Gelder veruntreut hat. Darüber hinaus sagt die SEC, dass Qin aktiv versucht, Vermögenswerte aus einem seiner bestehenden Fonds zu veruntreuen und neue Investitionseinnahmen in einem anderen Fonds zu erzielen.

Qin hat auch versucht, 1,7 Millionen Dollar an Investorengeldern zu verwenden, um chinesische Kreditgeber zurückzuzahlen, so die vollständige Gerichtsakte der SEC.

Bitcoin on credit: Microstrategy wants to buy BTC for 400 million US dollars

Micrsotrategy has again announced that it will buy an enormous amount of Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the DeFi sector and Tether’s market cap are at all-time highs. The market update.

The Bitcoin course is still struggling to sustainably break the US $ 19,000 mark

At press time, the BTC rate is $ 18,827. This means that the rate of the key crypto currency has to drop 1.84 percent in a 24-hour comparison.

What’s better than Bitcoin in the war chest? More Bitcoin Bank in the war chest. Microstrategy boss Michael Saylor’s calculation must be something like this, because on December 7th, Microstrategy announced the next bang, which should make Bitcoin bulls click their tongues. The IT company plans to increase its Bitcoin reserve for $ 400 million. The money will come from the sale of convertible bonds (senior convertible notes) to institutional investors.

The Notes are unsecured, priority obligations of MicroStrategy and accrue interest semi-annually to June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning June 15, 2021. The Notes will mature on December 15, 2025 unless they are repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms at an earlier date. […] MicroStrategy intends to invest the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes in Bitcoin in accordance with its Treasury Reserve Policy until the needs for working capital and other general corporate purposes are determined.

it says in the corresponding message to the investors of Microstrategy

The share price of Microstrategy (MSTR) benefited from the announcement and gained 2.5 percent. So far, the US service provider’s strategy of using Bitcoin as the main reserve asset is working. In particular, the Bitcoin rally of the past few weeks has catapulted the corporate value of Microstrategy soaring.

Just last Friday, December 4th, CEO Saylor announced the purchase of an additional 2,574 BTC. At the time of going to press, Microstrategy now holds 40,824 BTC.

DeFi holds record level, Tether continues to print USDT

While the Bitcoin rate and the top 10 Altcoins are taking a breather, the decentralized financial services (DeFi) sector in particular is printing green candles. With Compound (COMP, +14.5 percent), Band Protocol (BAND, +6.8 percent) and Sushi (SUSHI, +3.4 percent), the DeFi-Space represents 3 of the five Altcoins with the largest 24 hours -Increase. The value of the assets stored on DeFi platforms (TVL) is still at an all-time high of 14.8 billion US dollars.

Bitcoin Sideways Cena Bitcoin pozwala DeFi, Ethereum, i altcoins rajdować się wyższe

Ethereum, żetony DeFi, i altcoiny skapitalizowały na konsolidacji Bitcoin’a, radując się mocno w ciągu ostatnich 48 godzin.

W ciągu ostatnich dwóch dni, cena Bitcoin obracał się w zakresie od 14.800 dolarów do 15.500 dolarów, ale top-cyfrowy składnik aktywów z trudem przerzucić 15.500 dolarów do obsługi.

Pozytywnym zjawiskiem jest to, że BTC nadal utrzymuje się na wyższym poziomie i w momencie pisania ceny próbuje przełamać ten zakres, ale nadal napotyka opór na poziomie 15.500 dolarów.

Podczas gdy cena BTC odbijała się tam i z powrotem, altcoiny i wybrane żetony DeFi skapitalizowały w fazie konsolidacji i stały się bycze.

Jak już wcześniej Messari zaznaczył w tweecie, tokeny DeFi, takie jak Yearn Finance (YFI), AAVE, Balancer i UNI są dwucyfrowe. W szczególności, YFI zyskało około 160% po tym, jak 5 listopada osiągnęło poziom 7.444 dolarów, a w ciągu ostatnich dwóch dni AAVE poszło w absolutnym rozrachunku, ponieważ żeton zebrał 175% z 25,87 dolarów do 70,91 dolarów.

Oprócz tych tokenów, garstka mniejszych tokenów typu cap na zdecentralizowanych giełdach również zwiększa zyski, a dane z Dune Analytics sygnalizują, że inwestorzy ponownie zaczynają być bardziej aktywni w przestrzeni DeFi.
Dzienny wolumen DEX.

Wraz ze wzrostem wolumenu DEX-u rośnie również liczba codziennych aktywnych użytkowników, a dziś sektor osiągnął nowy rekord, ponieważ DeFi Pulse zauważył, że całkowita wartość zablokowana w platformach DEX-u wzrosła do 12,87 mld dolarów.
Łączna wartość zablokowana w systemie DeFi (USD).

Podczas gdy jest prawdopodobnie zbyt wcześnie, aby zadzwonić po altseasona, ether (ETH) ponownie stał się byczy i w ciągu ostatnich 3 godzin altcoin przebił się przez swoją strukturę proporczyka i osiągnął 466,60 dolarów.

Wykres 4-godzinny ETH/USD.

Analitycy zauważyli również, że para ETH/BTC przełamała swój trend spadkowy i obecnie wspina się wyżej w kierunku oporu 0.32323 saty.
Wykres dzienny ETH/BTC.

Historycznie, altcoiny mają tendencję do rajdowania się, gdy cena Bitcoinów jest na boki, a podstawy wzmocnienia ether mogą być znakiem, że DeFi i altcoiny mogą być na skraju zmiany trendu.

W krótkiej perspektywie czasowej inwestorzy będą obserwować, czy BTC może zmienić poziom 15.500$ do 16.000$, aby wesprzeć na tym prawdopodobnie kilka byczych altcoinów wyżej. Alternatywnie, jeśli cena BTC pozostanie na boki w ciągu najbliższych dni, może być kontynuowana z górnych żetonów DeFi i garść altcoinów.

Bitcoin is the best treasury reserve asset mankind has ever had

You could easily lose up to 90% of your fiat savings in 100 years from inflation alone, but that would never happen if you save at Bitcoin.

As of this writing, about 3.6% of Bitcoin Storm is locked up in long-term holdings of institutional investors. According to the data, 13 entities accumulated about 600,000 BTCs, approximately 2.85% of all Bitcoins and worth about $6.9 billion.

The list includes MicroStrategy at the top, with about 38,250 BTCs (about USD 450 million). The second place on the list is Galaxy Digital Holdings with 16,651 BTC (about USD 198 million). The third, with 4,709 BTC, is payment company Square Inc. founded by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Separately, some companies help their clients invest in BTC. One such company is Grayscale Investments through its GBTC trust, which has about 450,000 BTCs.

Bitcoin’s monthly candle closed above $13,000 for the first time since 2017

That said, the amount of Bitcoin that publicly traded companies have in reserve is a small fraction of corporate treasuries worldwide. In fact, the actual amount of cash held in reserves is trillions of US dollars. But consider this: nine companies in the S&P 500 have close to $600 billion in cash and short-term investments, and if just 5% (or $30 billion) of that amount is converted into Bitcoin, the price could easily increase fivefold.

Of course, there’s the question of where to place Bitcoin in the companies‘ investment portfolios. The most likely category is „alternative investment“. The need to strike a balance between traditional and alternative investments could reduce the market’s appetite for cryptomoney.

Happy Birthday Dear Bitcoin: The First Kryptomoney Whitepaper Turns 12

However, the potential demand remains enormous. As mentioned in a recent Fidelity report, the alternative investment market grew to $13.4 billion by the end of 2018, and very little of it was in Bitcoin. It may be necessary to convert as little as 5% of that to see the price of Bitcoin reach the moon.

Some investment companies have chosen to create completely independent companies to store their Bitcoin and other crypto funds. For example, Stone Ridge launched the New York Digital Investment Group, which today has more than $1 billion in crypto currencies.
What is driving this movement?

To better understand this phenomenon, I recently had an enlightening talk with Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy. In particular, I found his selection of 100 years as the basis for measuring the success or failure of a reserve asset very interesting.

Crypto-Currencies are an Attractive Option in Latin American Crisis Situations

Of course, most companies are founded with the expectation that they will live a long time, preferably centuries. Even for individuals, it still makes sense to look at how investments can change over a hundred years, as a person can accumulate wealth for heirs or even near-heart causes such as climate change. As Michael Saylor said:

„A great way to evaluate any investment is to take $100 million and go a hundred years and ask yourself what happens. If I had $100 million in any of the world’s largest cities in 1900, and I went forward 100 years, and put the money in the best bank in the city, I have two kinds of risks; counterparty risk and inflation risk. As far as the counterparty risk is concerned, all the big banks in all the big cities of the world went bankrupt in 100 years. And that’s a 90 percent chance that you’ll lose everything.

Of course, the most obvious weakness to detect when considering the performance of any reserve asset in 100 years is inflation. Of all asset types, the trust currency experiences the highest inflation over time. For example, what you could buy with USD 5 in the 1920s is much more than you can buy in 2020. According to a website that collects and processes government data for the benefit of the public, the US dollar loses approximately 2% of its purchasing power each year.

What about other assets?

While real estate may seem like a great asset to keep as a long-term reserve, it is susceptible to loss of value from things like taxes. More importantly, however, real estate faces risks that come with changes in regulation or public governance. In a 100-year time frame, a government that respects the public interest is likely to be able to afford to pay for it.

40 millioner Troy unser: Russlands gullfunn bekrefter Bitcoin som den mer knappe eiendelen

Nyheter om oppdagelsen av omtrent 40 millioner troy unser gull i Russlands Sibir-region vil sannsynligvis øke lønnsomheten til landets største gullprodusent, samtidig som det øker tilgangen på den „knappe“ ressursen. Rapporter sier at Polyus eide Sukhoi Log inneholder 540 millioner tonn malm, noe som tilsvarer et gjennomsnitt på 2,3 gram per tonn. Reservene, som vil utgjøre en fjerdedel av Russlands gullaksjer, vil sannsynligvis generere 76 milliarder dollar i inntekter for Polyus når de bruker nåværende priser.

Hvordan Bitcoin sammenlignes med gull

Selv om kunngjøringen fra Sukhoi Log legger til de påviste reservene og aksjene i gull, er det uklart hvordan dette vil påvirke metallprisen på kort og kort sikt. Imidlertid vil gull som tradisjonelt har blitt brukt som en sikring mot inflasjon sannsynligvis øke i verdi når pengemengden øker. Oppførselen av edelt metall står i kontrast til bitcoin, en eiendel som ser ut til å ha et omvendt forhold mellom den sirkulerende forsyningen (eller aksjen) og prisen.

Med rundt 18,5 millioner mynter – ut av den totale faste forsyningen på 21 millioner – som allerede er utvunnet og sirkulerer, har institusjonelle investorer nesten 4% av det, ifølge bitcointreasuries.org . Imidlertid, etter hvert som flere institusjonelle investorer blir med i vognen til selskaper som kjøper bitcoin, vil den resulterende forsyningskrympingen hjelpe prisen på den digitale eiendelen til å øke ytterligere.

For å illustrere, rett før Square Inc kjøpte 4709 bitcoins for rundt $ 50 millioner, handlet den digitale eiendelen til rundt $ 10.500. Imidlertid, mellom Square’s bitcoin-kjøp og perioden etter Paypals store kunngjøring 22. oktober, økte verdien av mynten til en fersk høyde på $ 13.300. I skrivende stund svinger bitcoin rundt $ 13.000. For Square Inc betyr dette på mindre enn en måned at bitcoin-reservene har vokst i verdi fra $ 50 millioner til mer enn $ 61 millioner. Gråtoner og mikrostrategi, som også har anskaffet betydelige mengder bitcoin, har på samme måte sett reservene vokse i verdi.

I mellomtiden betyr den økende regulatoriske klarheten på digitale eiendeler at flere store selskaper sannsynligvis vil anskaffe bitcoin og dermed gjøre det enda mindre. For bitcoinere bekrefter denne godkjennelsen av bitcoin fra større investorer så vel som den påfølgende verdiøkningen deres mangeårige argument om at denne nye eiendelen overgår gull når det gjelder verdibevaring. Videre får denne fortellingen støtte fra en voksende liste over studier som sier eller rangerer bitcoin som en bedre butikk med verdi og inflasjonssikker eiendel enn gull.

Dokumentarstøtte for den alternative butikken med verdifortelling

News.Bitcoin.com har tidligere rapportert om en Bistamp- studie som konkluderer med at bitcoin trumfer gull fordi det presterer bra selv i tider med økende reelle renter. Gull ser ut til å prestere bedre i inflasjonsperioder. Tilsvarende har Fidelity digitale aktiva skrevet en todelt Bitcoin investering avhandling der det diskuterer viktige egenskaper ved den digitale aktiva som er forlokkende for institusjonelle investorer. Disse studiene (så vel som mange andre) anerkjenner viktigheten av bitcoins faste forsyning for å kartlegge banen til denne digitale eiendelen.

MicroStrategy viderekobler Hope.com til Bitcoin etter $ 425 millioner BTC-kjøp

MicroStrategy kjøpte $ 425 millioner i Bitcoin i sommer.

MicroStrategy har viderekoblet Hope.com til Bitcoin

MicroStrategy kjøpte $ 425 millioner dollar i Bitcoin Era i sommer.

Konsernsjefen har promotert mynten på Twitter.

De som søker håp online, skal finne det i Bitcoin . Ikke nødvendigvis av intensjon, men fordi MicroStrategy, det amerikanske programvareselskapet som nylig kjøpte 425 millioner dollar i Bitcoin , har omdirigert hope.com-domenet til utdanningsressurser om Bitcoin.

Disse ressursene består i stor grad av pressemateriale som forklarer hvorfor MicroStrategy kjøpte 425 millioner dollar i Bitcoin i sommer

Michael Saylor, MicroStrategys administrerende direktør, sa i en tweet at Bitcoin „representerer håp for milliarder mennesker som trenger et instrument for økonomisk empowerment.“

Saylor har promotert Bitcoin sterkt siden kjøpet, ofte flere ganger om dagen. Denne måneden har han nesten utelukkende twitret om Bitcoin; han har brukt ordet „Bitcoin“ omtrent 30 ganger så langt.

Central banks sell gold for the first time in 18 months

Do you want to know which countries have proportionally less reserves in proportion to their economies? United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Indonesia, and Colombia.

Central Banks sold gold for the first time in eighteen months, reducing Bitcoin Trader their positions by 12.3 tons in August. This is equivalent to $750 million. At first glance, it may appear that there has been a change in strategy.

However, the figures are misleading as the Central Banks bought 393 tons in the first seven months of the year. As a result, they follow mostly buyers throughout 2019 and 2020.

The August figures were then distorted by a single seller, Uzbekistan. You may not know what Uzbekistan is, but it has a gold reserve similar to the United Kingdom, one of the world’s largest and most traditional economies.

Announcement

Interestingly, some places above in the ranking are Kazakhstan, its neighbour. Both regions belonged to the former Soviet Union, and are among the 10 countries with the highest annual gold extraction.

Who was king doesn’t want to lose his majesty

Another interesting fact is that the countries with the largest gold reserves, proportional to their economies, are precisely those that have had strong currencies of their own in the past and have lost this position. Top this list are Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Portugal.

In this sense, those economies that belonged to the Soviet Union are in a similar situation. In other words, those who have felt in their skin the effects of seeing their local currency emerge from a position of global dominance seek protection in gold.

Do you want to know which countries have proportionally less reserves proportional to their economies? United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Indonesia, and Colombia.

Yes, Brazil has only 67.4 tons of gold, equivalent to about 4% of our reserves. The latest governments have chosen to keep almost everything in treasury bonds

Dollar (was) good, now no more
Over the last four decades the dollar has been put into circulation in more or less predictable ways. Thus, if we analyze the Federal Reserve data since 1981, we will find an average of 6.2% per year of dollars in the market.

This figure ranges from Treasury Bonds to bank deposits, CDBs, and cash. Although there is a certain relationship between cash in circulation and inflation, this is not necessarily true.

Thus, there is no point in the government stimulating the markets if there is no demand. The result? People and companies refinance their debts, or simply invest in gold, real estate, and shares.

One of the reasons for Bitcoin’s new boom cycle is precisely this, a scarce asset that is still far from its historical maximum. Little by little, more investors will realize this, and its reduced supply will result in price levels never before reached. Just wait and see!
