15 Crypto Corner
Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:EBAY) (NasdaqGS:AMTD)
Over the last day
Bitcoin (BTC) has remained
fairly stable, modestly rising and dipping below the $8000 trading price. At
press time, the flagship cryptocurrency is trading for $7965 according to CoinMarketCap, which is about
1.3 percent lower than 24 hours ago. Altcoins, on the whole, have performed
better, with the vast majority of the top 99 listed by market cap in the green
this morning. Of particular note is Ether (ETH), which has grown
some 11.3 percent in the past day, reaching a trading price of $230 and a
market cap of $24 billion. The general growth of altcoins has reduced Bitcoin’s
market dominance down to about 57 percent from yesterday’s near 60 percent.
Crypto exchange
Binance has posted an update confirming that
their system upgrade has completed and that trading activity has resumed as of
1:00 PM UTC. In addition to the upgrade, the exchange is holding a promotion
until May 18 in which users with trading volumes over 1 BTC across any trading
pairs will split in a prize pool of 50,000 Binance Coin (BNB).
New Zealand-based
crypto exchange Cryptopia has named audit firm Grant Thornton as its
liquidator, as the former goes into liquidation. Cryptopia had been the target
of a security breach and major hack in January this year, and as the announcement reveals,
liquidation was chosen as the best move forward. Grant Thornton’s David Ruscoe,
who along with Russell Moore was appointed as liquidator for Cryptopia,
commented:
“We realise Cryptopia’s customers will want
to have this matter resolved as soon as possible. We will conduct a thorough
investigation, working with several different stakeholders including management
and shareholders, to find the solution that is in the best interests of
customers and stakeholders. Given the complexities involved we expect the
investigation to take months rather than weeks.”
Bloomberg reports that eBay
(NasdaqGS:EBAY) has rejected rumours that it
will accept cryptocurrencies as payment. A spokesperson for the company said on
Monday, “Cryptocurrency is not accepted as a form of payment on the eBay
platform, nor is it part of our payments strategy”. Additionally, TD Ameritrade
(NasdaqGS:AMTD) denied rumours that it was
piloting crypto trading on its platform. Sunayna Tuteja, head of digital assets
at TD Ameritrade, told Bloomberg:
“Currently we’re not. We have what we call paperMoney,
which is what our clients can try for trading strategies. It was a simulation.
So there was no actual execution.”
