Stocks discussed: (OTC:SBHGF) (NasdaqGM:OSTK)
Total crypto market
capitalization is sitting at $254 billion USD at press time, according to data
from CoinMarketCap. This appears to
be a more or less stable support level, at least since the market showed some
upward momentum a week ago. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently
trading for $9,280 as we head into the weekend. It is down a bit after growing
fairly steadily throughout the week, having reached a peak of just over $9,500.
And Ethereum Classic (ETC), the growth of
which we’ve been covering this week, took a tumble just this morning and is
down about 7.4 percent at press time, with a trading price of $11.13.
tZero, the
blockchain arm of American internet retailer Overstock (NasdaqGM:OSTK), released a letter
to investors
that outlined the company’s achievements in the last year and its 2020 goals.
One of these goals was the launch of broker-dealer tZero Markets. tZero CEO
Saum Noursalehi explained:
We continue to make progress advancing our retail
broker-dealer, tZERO Markets. This is an important initiative as it will allow
us to integrate our web and mobile app experiences in the future, enabling
investors to trade digital securities and cryptocurrencies on one platform. We
are working closely with regulators and are targeting a launch of tZERO Markets
in the first half of this year.
Japanese financial
services firm SBI Holdings, Inc. (OTC:SBHGF) announced today that new
shareholders were eligible to receive either 2,000 yen worth of XRP ($18), or an array
of products from pharmaceutical company SBI Alapromo Co., Ltd. Shareholders who
have been with the company for over a year, however, were eligible for 8,000
yen worth of the cryptocurrency ($73). SBI has ties with XRP developer Ripple
through the former’s subsidiary SBI Ripple Asia. In May of last year,
Investorideas.com reported on “the launch of
in-store payments based on the firm's Money Tap service.”
Cointelegraph reports that the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has exceeded $100 billion in volume for its
Bitcoin futures trading product. CME Group Managing Director and Global Head of
Equity Index Alternative Investment Products, Tim McCourt, told Cointelegraph:
“CME Bitcoin futures have surpassed $100 billion in
total notional value traded since their launch in December 2017.”
“Our Bitcoin futures have evolved over the last two
years and are now one of the most liquid, listed bitcoin derivatives available
globally.”
“We continue to see strong participation from
institutional investors, physical bitcoin traders and other clients who value
the transparency, price discovery and risk transfer that only a regulated
marketplace like CME Group can offer.”

ETC Leads Continuing Crypto Surge, Saudi Aramco Energy
Invests $5 Million in Blockchain Trader Vakt, Hut 8 CEO to Step Down as Company
Amends Agreements with Bitfury and Swiss Regulators Approve IPO on Blockchain
Stocks discussed: (OTC:ETCG) (2222.SR) (TSX:HUT)
The crypto market
has continued its upward momentum with total market capitalization clocking in
at about $255 billion USD at press time, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
Bitcoin (BTC) has reached its highest trading price in
almost three months at just over $9,300. An article from CoinDesk cites Su Zhu, co-founder of Singapore-based
crypto investment firm Three Arrows, who observed:
“[BTC] rally looks Asia-driven with the Chinese equity
market reopening after holidays has been delayed due to the coronavirus, so
traders itching for activity may have set their sights on the 24-7 crypto
markets in the meantime.”
As with Monday,
however, Ethereum Classic (ETC) has displayed the most impressive growth
of the major altcoins with a 24 hour increase of nearly 11 percent. Alongside
it, the stock for Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (OTC:ETCG), which we linked to ETC’s growth in
this latest bull run, is itself up almost nine percent today.
Saudi Aramco Energy
Ventures (SAEV), a subsidiary of Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) (2222.SR), has invested $5 million in blockchain-based oil
trader Vakt. Hans Middelthon, MD of SAEV Europe commented:
“VAKT has demonstrated that their platform has the
potential to digitise what is currently a very manual process and be truly
transformative to end users and customers. Leveraging blockchain theory and
applying it to the complicated world of post-trade processing, VAKT has made a
compelling pitch to become an integral part of market infrastructure. SAEV’s
mission is to develop and deploy technologies into Aramco’s operations. VAKT is
an excellent candidate in this sense and
we look forward to helping the company with its development.”
Though Aramco is
slightly in the green today with growth of about half a percent at press time,
it is unlikely that this news from a subsidiary moved the needle all that much.
Bitcoin mining firm
Hut 8 Mining Corp. (TSX:HUT) has announced that its CEO Andrew Kiguel is
stepping down from his role, but will remain until a successor is appointed.
Kiguel commented:
"As a co-founder, it's been a privilege to help
build Hut 8 from a start-up to a category-leading company that's generated over
$115 million in revenue since 2018. We've accomplished significant milestones,
including raising over $100 million in debt and equity and the completion of
our 67 MW facility in Medicine Hat. Hut 8 survived the 2018 bitcoin price
collapse and emerged the world's largest publicly traded bitcoin miner. In
addition, Hut 8 was the first cryptocurrency company to list on the Toronto
Stock Exchange in 2019."
Feel free to check
out an interview Investorideas.com did with Andrew
Kiguel in October last year, in which he discussed the company’s TSX listing
and much more.
But, in addition to
that, Hut 8 has also entered into a non-binding term sheet with Bitfury Holding
BV, “to amend key agreements between the two companies with the intent of
reducing operating costs and providing more autonomy to Hut 8 in managing its
Canadian operations.” Regarding this, Kiguel said:
"The amendment of these contracts will allow Hut 8
to operate more independently as the company continues to mature. Once
finalized, Hut 8 will have reduced its operating costs by over $2 million
annually. Bitfury remains the largest Hut 8 shareholder and an important
strategic partner.”
Swiss blockchain
firm OverFuture has been approved by regulators to proceed in what will be
Switzerland’s first IPO launched on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, according to a press release today. An excerpt from the
release reads:
A huge difference when compared to the
traditional ecosystem of intermediaries operating the capital markets sector,
at least under three main aspects: costs,
time and direct sale of the issuers to the investors. Some traditional
regulated exchanges (ex SDX – Swiss
Digital Exchange by the Swiss Exchange SIX) are already preparing themselves to
a new digital way to distribute securities.
A company’s articles of incorporation natively on the
blockchain may represent the first concrete step toward a huge revolution for
the way companies access to the capital markets (and crowdfunding).

Market Opens Week with BCH and ETC Surging, Julius Baer (OTC: $DMGGF) Announces
Digital Assets Service

Stocks discussed: (OTC:ETCG) (OTC:JBAXY) (OTC:DMGGF)
The crypto market
is looking quite green as we enter a new week. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin (BTC) has witnessed a
growth of about 3.43 percent in the last 24 hours at press time, making for a
current trading price of $8,750. The same level of growth can be seen from the
top two altcoins by market cap, Ether (ETH) and XRP, which are valued
at $169 and $0.23, respectively.
Two altcoins,
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Ethereum
Classic (ETC), have seen more
impressive growth, however, surging 11.3 and 17.5 percent, respectively. The
bull run of Bitcoin Cash may be connected to recent news that crypto company
Mecon Cash has integrated it into the latter’s M.Pay payments platform that
boasts over 13,000 ATMs in South Korea, according to Bitcoin.com. As for Ethereum
Classic, its growth could be linked to news from CoinDesk last week that
Grayscale ETC Trust (OTC:ETCG) has committed to
donating “one-third of the management fees” to the ETC Cooperative each quarter
through 2021. At press time, the stock for Grayscale ETC Trust itself is up
13.91 percent. Quoted in that article, ETC Cooperative executive director Bob
Summerwill said:
“It is a big vote of confidence which we deeply
appreciate. This funding allows us to continue our support of the ETC protocol
and ecosystem. We will provide grants for key projects, as we have through 2018
and 2019."
Swiss banking and
financial manager giant Julius Baer (OTC:JBAXY) has announced the launch of a
digital assets offering that includes services like secure storage and
transaction solutions. This is the product of the firm’s partnership with
Switzerland-based and FINMA-licensed digital asset bank SEBA Bank AG, which was
announced almost a year ago. According to the news release, Julius Baer “is
able to offer access to a select group of cryptocurrencies, chosen for their
tradability, safety, and technical reliability.” On the day following the news
release, January 22, Julius Baer stock did see a modest uptick of about 2
percent.
DMG Blockchain
Solutions Inc. (OTC:DMGGF) recently revealed that it “has been
engaged to host over 1,000 GPU rigs (approximately 9,000 individual GPUs) for a
GPU client.” The press release distinguishes GPU mining from Bitcoin-oriented
ASIC mining, indicating that “GPUs can be used to mine multiple alternative
cryptocurrencies (i.e. not Bitcoin) depending on the profitability of each one
at any particular time.” Though DMG generally focuses on mining Bitcoin, GPUs
provide additional value in their capacity to be repurposed for High
Performance Computing (HPC). Dan Reitzik, DMG’s CEO, said:
“The Company is exploring ways to capitalize on its
flagship data centre and HPC is a great way for us to start down the road to
augmenting our revenue streams to include non-crypto income.”
DMG’s stock
actually took a dip following this latest news release, but has skyrocketed
this morning with a gain of 25 percent. This may be connected to the general
surge in the wider crypto market discussed above.
And lastly the
World Economic Forum (WEF) announced on Friday (Jan 24)
the formation of a “Global Consortium for Digital Currency Governance.” The aim
of this is to develop “innovative regulatory approaches” and a “set of guiding
principles” “to support public and private actors exploring the opportunities that
digital currencies present.” Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of
the World Economic Forum, commented:
“Digital currency, a cross-cutting topic that requires
input across sectors, functions, and geographies, is a key area of interest for
the Forum. Building on our long history of public-private cooperation, we hope
that hosting this consortium will catalyse the conversations necessary to
inform a robust framework of governance for global digital currencies.”
This will be an
important and interesting story to watch, even as crypto and blockchain
continue to develop and disrupt in the private sector.
