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.”
