The U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee invited several CEOs of large crypto firms in the United States.

The Crypto Valley is known to be one of the most “crypto-friendly” regions in the world. A review of the past two months.

The percentage of women employed in the financial world is low and their investment behaviour also differs significantly from that of men. This fact strikes home, even more, when it comes to crypto engagements. But why do women stay away from finance and digital assets? The percentage of women actively participating in the financial world is low. After all, when it comes to stocks, ETFs or crypto investments, women are more hesitant than many men. Recent data from the German Equities Institute suggests that women’s participation in investing is significantly lower than men’s. According to the data, around 3.8 million…

In addition to Bitcoin, BofA’s research department will study other crypto assets such as NFTs, DeFi, as well as CBDCs.

Ripple Labs Inc. is launching a $250 million fund to research and develop non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other tokenization projects on the XRP ledger. The fund will support artists as well as companies with their tokens and fan communities. The increased global interest in NFTs has created new revenue streams and business models. However, when it comes to developing modern NFTs, many developers face barriers to entry. On the one hand, it’s the fear that their NFTs won’t sell. On the other hand, it is also a lack of understanding when it comes to NFT concepts. Developers, in turn, often…

Devirate sind synthethische Finanzinstrumente. Das lateinische Wort derivare bedeutet ableiten und beschreibt, dass Derivate von der Basisanlage (beispielsweise einer Währung oder Aktien) abgeleitet sind. Die Preisentwicklung eines Derivats unterliegt dementsprechend der Preisentwicklung des Gegenwerts, der die Basis bildet. Ein Devirat ist also ein Vertrag zwischen zwei oder mehr Parteien, dessen Wert auf einem vorher vereinbarten Vermögenswert (beispielsweise ein Wertpapier) oder einer Gruppe von Vermögenswerten (beispielsweise ein Index) beruht. Derivate Finanzgeschäfte können Termingeschäfte (zB Futures) sein, die an der Börse gehandelt werden. Werden Derivate nicht an der Börse gehandelt, so spricht man von OTC (over the counter) Geschäften.

What has been happening around Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies this week? The most relevant local and international developments as well as appealing background reports in a pointed and compact weekly review. A few weeks ago, El Salvador wrote history. The country promoted Bitcoin as the first nation to a currency equivalent to the US dollar. By adopting the cryptocurrency as an official means of payment, the Central American nation hopes to increase the economic inclusion of its unbanked population (currently around 70%) as well as improve the efficiency of domestic and international payments. The decision by Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele…

What has been happening around Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies this week? The most relevant local and international developments as well as appealing background reports in a pointed and compact weekly review. In its journey of over ten years, Bitcoin has gone through several phases, each with different forms of usage. Although its usage has steadily increased, the cryptocurrency has mainly established itself as a store of value, rather than as a means of payment as it was originally intended. For monetary transactions, the network is simply too slow with its block times and too expensive when usage is high. If…

What has been happening around Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies this week? The most relevant local and international developments as well as appealing background reports in a pointed and compact weekly review. Bitcoin, with its nature of programmed scarcity, is increasingly perceived and used as an inflation hedge as well as for portfolio diversification. However, the unique features of the cryptocurrency are not limited to its unprecedented proprietary monetary policy. A decentralized, censorship-resistant, and permissionless payment network opens new doors, especially in developing countries with a non-existent or inaccessible financial infrastructure. In June, the government of El Salvador declared its intention…

Iran’s economic problems have forced the government to look for alternative solutions. Although the country does not recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tender, it seems to particularly like the possibilities of Bitcoin transactions. The United States has imposed a near-total economic embargo on Iran, which includes a ban on all imports and exports – including those from the country’s oil, banking and shipping sectors. Given its pariah status, Iran wants to turn to blockchain to keep some business sectors open. The government expects Bitcoin and crypto mining to become a major industry in the country. The overall adoption of cryptocurrencies could…

Bitcoin USD daily Basis Bitcoin USD Chart Analysis – Consolidation Below the 50,000 Mark The reporting week was characterized by a consolidation phase, which took place just below the significant resistance zone 50,000 USD. After two days of a “breather” at the newly climbed level of the previous week, Bitcoin tried to conquer the areas of the 50,000 USD mark on Monday. Although a new daily high of 50,505 USD was reached during the course of the day, the price corrected back to 49,294 USD by the end of the day, and thus fell back below the resistance zone. Accordingly,…

What has been happening around Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies this week? The most relevant local and international developments as well as appealing background reports in a pointed and compact weekly review. The largest hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater Associates, recently attested Bitcoin several attractive features. This is especially noteworthy given that founder Rai Dalio once described the cryptocurrency as a “bubble”. Nowadays, a portfolio of traditional assets no longer offers the diversification it used to. In fact, many government bonds no longer provide the returns they once generated. As a general rule, the ultimate goal of a well-diversified portfolio…

Bitcoin USD daily basis Bitcoin USD Chart Analysis – Revisiting the 50,000 USD Mark The reporting week was characterized by the defence of the reclaimed area around 45,000 USD. At the beginning of the week, the incipient correction (which started after the handsome gain on Friday of the previous week and catapulted Bitcoin to 48,000 USD) continued. Tuesday was also marked by losses, which, by the end of the day, brought the price to just below 45,000 USD. In this area, the price had already found support in the previous week and so it came to a classic doji on…
