Volatility in the
crypto market has abated somewhat over the weekend with Monday morning trading
prices largely in the green, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin (BTC), though still
comfortably the market dominator and accounting for more than 67 percent of the
market share, has grown noticeably less than several altcoins. While Bitcoin
has seen 1.5 percent growth in the last 24 hours, leading altcoins Ether (ETH), XRP and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) have seen growth
of 4.2 percent, 7.9 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, despite
dipping below its current $8K support level earlier this morning, Bitcoin is
currently trading for about $8,175.
The
Korea Herald
reports that a deal that would see Singapore-based fintech company BK Global
Consortium buy a stake in South Korea’s biggest crypto exchange Bithumb for
$333 million USD, could fall through. BK made a downpayment of $100 million
last year to Bithumb majority owner BTC Holdings, but has since extended the
payment deadline twice. The latest deadline expires today, but BK investor Cho
Yoon-hyeong of electronics manufacturer Cornerstone, said today:
“The deal is proceeding smoothly, and we’re working on
details with BTC Holdings.”
Swiss stock
exchange SIX Group’s blockchain-based unit SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) has put
together a global consortium of financial institutions to back its initial
digital offering (IDO). The head of SDX, Thomas Kindler, told CoinDesk:
“We are not just looking to Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth
fund to give us money. We are looking at our clients to invest, but at the same
time commit business and help us validate what we built and get it off the
ground. The key focus is not money; it’s money linked to business and
validation of the business model.”
The IDO is expected
to launch in the middle of 2020, and will resemble a traditional IPO with SDX
security tokens taking the place of shares.
According to a blog
post
published today, Ripple has expanded its European operations into Iceland. This
move was facilitated by Ripple’s acquisition of Icelandic crypto trading firm
Algrim. Algrim CEO Dadi Armannsson commented:
“The decision to join the Ripple team was a natural fit
— both companies share a vision to enable widespread adoption of digital assets
and blockchain technology, which aligns directly with what we’ve been working
towards for the past several years. We are big believers in XRP and the XRP
Ledger, and eager to help build the future of payments at Ripple.”

Crypto Corner
Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:FB) (NYSE:ING)
As we enter another
weekend, the crypto market has still not recovered from this week’s downward
trend, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Total market capitalization has
sunk to around $213 billion USD, bobbing up only slightly from its low
yesterday of $208 billion. Bitcoin (BTC) had sunk below $8,000 yesterday, but has
since recovered slightly to a trading price of about $8,050 at press time. The
majority of the top 100 coins by market cap are in the red.
Marcus Treacher, a
senior official at Ripple, has thrown shade at Facebook’s (NasdaqGS:FB) Libra project, according to a
report from CNBC. Treacher, who serves as Ripple’s senior
vice president of customer success, called Libra a “walled garden” in reference
to the project’s closed system. Ripple, conversely, differs in its relative
ease of connectivity with outside players, according to Treacher.
“Yes it’s a network, but it has no perimeter. It
connects with all of the players that want to use the technology.”
Despite his
criticism, Treacher said that it was a good thing to have a big Silicon Valley
player involved in the space.
Mark Cliffe, chief
economist for Dutch banking giant ING (NYSE:ING), believes central bank digital
currencies (CBDCs) are on the way in the coming couple of years. In a video interview Cliffe explains:
“The central banks are probably going to have to make
some move on a digital currency within the next two to three years. After all,
Facebook has put pressure on by suggesting that their’s might launch in the
coming year, so I think we’ve already got some sense of urgency amongst the
policy community.”
Cliffe went on to
identify the elimination of hard currency and cash as a benefit of CBDCs, in
that it allows more policy freedom for bankers. However, he identifies the
possibility of negative interest rates as a potential drawback to going fully
digital.
Crypto exchange
giant Binance has launched a staking platform, according to an official announcement published yesterday. The new
platform allows users to “grow their funds by receiving monthly rewards &
distributions simply by depositing and holding funds on Binance”. The
announcement reads:
“Users will earn staking rewards without needing to set
up any nodes, worry about minimum staking amounts, time lengths, or any other
technical requirements.”

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:FB)
David Marcus, the
head of Facebook’s (NasdaqGS:FB) Calibra wallet, published a blog
post
yesterday making the case for blockchain-based payment networks. Marcus
explores some of the disadvantages of the current payment network models,
including his claim that existing models are “closed and not well
interconnected”, that they’re siloed (“it’s a bit like if you couldn’t send
emails from Gmail to Yahoo! Mail”), and that they tend to require third-party
intermediaries to execute transactions. An excerpt reads:
“Long story short, building on top of existing rails
and across disconnected payment networks won’t reduce cost, open up the market
to more innovation, nor lower the barrier of access to modern financial
services as much as building a new infrastructure with a very stable, high
quality global medium of exchange supporting it.”
Coinbase co-founder
and CEO Brian Armstrong expressed support for Marcus’s blog post in a tweet, and also defended
the Libra project against what he interprets as undue criticism.
“Libra is one of several important crypto projects on
the horizon with the potential to improve the world. Whether it works or not
still remains to be seen, but I find the backlash to it a bit odd and
misguided. @davidmarcus makes a reasonable case here”
Meanwhile, in an
interview with Nikkei
Asian Review
published today, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg cast doubt on Libra’s launch
date. Though he didn’t say one way or another, Zuckerberg’s comments seem to
have allowed for the possibility of a delay in the stablecoin’s launch date.
"A lot of people have had questions and concerns,
and we're committed to making sure that we work through all of those before
moving forward."
"Obviously we want to move forward at some point
soon [and] not have this take many years to roll out. But right now I'm really
focused on making sure that we do this well."
Former Federal
Reserve official Simon Potter has criticized comments from the Bank of
England’s Governor Mark Carney, who last month said that the U.S. dollar should
be replaced as the global standard by “something like” Facebook’s Libra,
according to a report from BNN
Bloomberg.
Speaking at a Peterson Institute for International Economics event in New York
yesterday, Potter said:
“I see no argument that makes sense to have something
that complicated out there when you have large, liquid capital markets in the U.S.
Not having one currency that you can basically price things and have a deep
market in, that makes life much harder for the global economy.”
“Central banks should be very concerned about the
private sector doing this. “A nation’s control of its currency is designed to
protect people and get good outcomes. The private sector is much more
interested in selling products.”
