The event also featured a lively roundtable discussion between industry experts on the key triggers required for the mainstream adoption of digital assets, amid widening participation by both retail and institutional investors.

It’s a Hodler’s delight. Bitcoin prices appear to be on a never ending journey north. Today, we have again printed a new yearly high, with resistance at $17,130 acting as a break on prices. Bitcoin is a peculiar asset — its transparency allows us to report crazy facts, like: 99.46% of all Bitcoin transactions are in profit.

It wasn’t too long ago that the weekend trading sessions provided all the action in Bitcoin. Now, it’s turning into a Monday to Friday market — maybe the institutional effect is taking Bitcoin up enough during the week, leaving the weekend bulls free to spend their time browsing Lamborghini showrooms?

New multi-year highs are fast becoming a dull headline. Bitcoin is going up, it’s almost becoming a given, which in turn, leads to more funds flowing into BTC. In yesterday’s report, we delved into rotations within the capital pool. Today, just to help drive home the message, Altcoins have under-performed as Bitcoin has marched on to new highs — the rotation into Bitcoin from alts is happening once again.

EQONEX CEO Richard Byworth joins Anthony Pompliano on the Pomp Podcast to discuss all things EQONEX and crypto, as we become the first crypto exchange operator to list on the Nasdaq.

The flow of capital in traditional finance, as a rule of thumb, works like this: Risk off, money flows from stocks to bonds, and risk on: Money flow from bonds to stocks. It’s a simple model. Everything good in the economy? Great, let’s buy stocks and leave the low yielding bonds to a smaller percentage of our portfolios. Only, money is now so cheap that bonds no longer pay you a return on your capital investment. They now charge you for the pleasure of assuming the risk on their debt. That, in a word, is madness. But there we are, ‘money printer go brrrr’, bonds going to negative yields, and stocks going up because no one really likes to lose money on purpose, so they decide stocks are worth the gamble.

It’s Tuesday and Bitcoin is trading sideways, which means it’s time to have a look at the on-chain data to assess the state of play.

Here are two interesting statistics: 1. The total value of negative yielding bonds has just passed $17 TRILLION.

The Rise of Privacy Coins The most well-known cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, have immutable and transparent blockchains that allow BTC and ETH transactions to be visible to anyone in the world. It is also possible in some incidences to trace a person’s identity off-screen by investigating the sending and receiving addresses for those transactions. This has led to a rise in popularity of the cryptocurrencies dubbed privacy coins.

What is Bitcoin? Launched in 2009 by the mysterious developer Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin (BTC) became the world’s first and largest cryptocurrency.

When mastered, the art of day trading can prove highly lucrative, but without comprehensive and clear strategies, it becomes quite challenging.

A lack of regulation and transparency in the digital asset sphere has been cited as deterrent for institutional adoption of crypto, but this reticence is now receding with the emergence of trusted next-generation exchanges that place market integrity at their core.

Bitcoin was born out of the 2008 financial crisis, but until COVID it had never actually been through one. It remains to be seen if peer-to-peer financial models will stand up to the test that they were designed to pass.

For the last couple of weeks, we have been releasing snippets of what EQONEX currently does and will do. The wait is over — EQONEX is publicly launching today!

Since 2011, there have been dozens of exchange hackings, resulting in the equivalent of billions of US dollars worth of stolen assets[1]. In May 2019, Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges was notoriously hacked, resulting in a loss of 7,000 Bitcoin, worth in the region of $40 million at the time[2]. It was a shocking development and served as a stark reminder to both current and prospective investors that even the industry’s largest players are not impervious to masterfully orchestrated attacks.

At the dawn of digital asset trading, there were few regulatory systems in place to control the type of traffic exchanges received. Because of hacks, ill-usage, and extensive anonymity, these early experiences contributed to a somewhat shady reputation the crypto world is still battling. As the industry has matured, industry players have developed infrastructure and protocols to reduce the prevalence and ease of criminal activity from occurring. In the recent years, more and more exchanges are investing more in the resources to support Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies and procedures.

As governance on digital asset markets reaches equivalence with conventional finance, the banking sector is increasing its involvement in the space.
