Perhaps it took an economic crisis of another kind to lift the cryptocurrency markets. Italy’s economy is reeling amid a political crisis that has placed a spotlight on the cracks in the EU’s economic foundation.


Italian bonds are going bust, and the negativity has spilled over into stocks as well. But as the global financial markets are reeling, bitcoin is finally beginning to see the light of day again, and it could just have something to do with the fact that a potential threat to the euro highlights the benefits of a decentralized currency like bitcoin.

The bitcoin price is currently trading above the $7,400 threshold after falling to a May low earlier in the day.


The cryptocurrency markets have been searching for a reason to rally, and many of us have been looking to the centralized governments of the world to provide that catalyst.

Meanwhile, the mechanics of the cryptocurrency markets are working just fine, and have pulled off a rally — albeit on modest trading volume — on a development that highlights the very strengths of a decentralized world. Bitcoin and its altcoin peers have proven once again the power of a digital currency that is not controlled by the central bank but instead the masses.

The crisis in Italy has placed a great deal of pressure on the euro, sending Europe’s common currency to its lowest levels against the USD in months. Italian bonds have similarly sold off amid the possibility of Europe’s third-largest economy staging a Brexit of its own. A decentralized currency like bitcoin becomes even more attractive when the common currency of Europe becomes unstable.

Fundstrat’s Thomas Lee cheered the crypto market’s response, telling Business Insider:

“To an extent, I think its good to see Bitcoin rallying with Gold, as the adverse developments in Italy and globally are pushing investors to risk-off. It’s good to see Bitcoin as an uncorrelated trade on a risk off day.”

Take the Latin American economy of Venezuela as an example. While the economic conditions in Venezuela are specific to the region, comprised of hyperinflation, food crisis and a broke government, the end result is a currency whose value has been destroyed. As a result, Venezuela’s currency was being exchanged for bitcoin at a record pace in mid-April, when more than $1 million in “bolivar-to-bitcoin” conversions occurred in a single day.

Italy’s fate in the EU has yet to unfold, and a snap election appears to be taking shape for the coming months there. In the meantime, it’s not just bitcoin that’s benefitting. Other leading digital currencies including ethereum, ripple, bitcoin cash and litecoin were all trading between 2%-4% higher while cardano soared nearly 10%.

Bitcoin might be anathema to the majority of Wall Street banks, however, for small lenders in the U.S., the crypto market is a veritable money maker. Despite the uncertainty and lack of regulation in the industry, Main Street banks are jumping on the Bitcoin bandwagon and raking in huge revenues.


The big banks on Wall Street have largely shunned the cryptocurrency market with only a few making tentative forays into the industry. This has paved the way for smaller banks to take advantage of the void created by the major players to dominate the arena. Banks like Silvergate, Cross River Bank, and Metropolitan Bank are offering their customers premium crypto-focused banking solutions.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Silvergate’s asset base increased from $978 million to more than $1.9 billion. A significant portion of this revenue growth came from the over 250 cryptocurrency firms supported by the bank. Main Street banks are offering crypto startups the ability to enjoy the convenience of banking support.

Genesis Global Trading is one of Silvergate’s crypto customers. Genesis specializes in cryptocurrency trading, and according to CEO Michael Moro, the firm appreciates the services provided by the bank. According to Moro, Silvergate is a big believer in his company’s mission, and that helps to foster an excellent working relationship. The Genesis Global CEO also went on to say that crypto companies need banks to remain in business.

Silvergate isn’t the only bank basking in the bountiful Bitcoin revenue. According to CEO Mark DeFazio, Metropolitan Bank has increased its deposits without having to incur the cost of opening new branches. The bank’s 2017 revenue more than tripled the earnings of 2016. DeFazio is of the opinion that there is a significant paradigm shift in the payments industry.

На официальном сайте указано что они собрали $35 млн, хотя тоже думаю что этот токен врят ли сильно просядет. Новая идея с генобанком могла бы собрать раза в 3 больше средств, значит инвесторы захотят еще прикупить на одной из крупных бирж.

А по выходу на биржи сейчас не дают вообще никакой инфы.

As for the exchange the team still don't share any information. I hope this will be one of the top 10, cause they collected nice fund, enough to pay for binance or bittrex listing.

Russian State Duma has approved its first reading of the long-awaited legislation package regulating crypto-related matters and activities. The legal texts, voted almost unanimously, will open the way for legalization of cryptocurrencies in the Russian Federation, including their exchange and circulation under certain conditions. Deputies now have about two weeks to propose amendments before they proceed to final adoption of the three bills.


The lower house of Russia’s parliament, the Duma, has accepted and approved on first reading three pieces of legislation tailored to regulate different aspects of the crypto ecosphere in the country. This week, the bills – “On Digital Financial Assets,” “On Attracting Investments Using Investment Platforms,” and “On Digital Rights” – hit the house floor. All of them were voted almost unanimously, the Russian Association of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain announced on social media.  Some interesting ideas, like tax breaks, have been pitched already during parliamentary discussions.

The first two drafts were introduced on March 20 by a group of deputies led by the chairman of the Financial Market Committee, Anatoly Aksakov, while the third one, which amends the country’s Civil Code, was filed on March 26 by the speaker of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, and the head of the parliamentary Legislation Committee, Pavel Krasheninnikov.

The new legislation incorporates legal concepts like “digital right” and “smart contract” and defines cryptocurrencies and tokens as property, not as legal tender. It establish the sequence of actions in a token sale and the rules governing ICO projects. The texts form the basis for legalizing crypto mining but the legal definition of this economic activity will be expanded and refined between the two readings. Other amendments may be introduced in the next couple of weeks. Some proposals, including a moratorium on the taxation of miners, have been discussed in parliament already.

An MIT test is providing a rare glimpse of how bitcoin might truly work at scale.

Revealed to CoinDesk last week, the prestigious U.S. university has been quietly demoing an experimental use case for bitcoin's lightning network, one that showcases how it might be combined with smart contracts to not only handle millions of transactions, but do so with a greater degree of complexity.

Modeled within the school's Digital Currency Initiative, started in 2015 as a way to further R&D on cryptocurrencies, the test envisions a system wherein transactions would take place automatically in the case of defined external events, based on say today's weather or the current price of U.S. dollars.

This is possible due to MIT's creative use of so-called "oracles," trusted entities meant to broadcast data to smart contracts. For this demo, researchers Tadge Dryja and Alin S. Dragos built a test oracle to broadcast the recent price of U.S. dollars in satoshis, the smallest unit of bitcoins, which anyone can grab and use for their smart contracts.

It's a notable step forward for the idea, one first proposed by lightning inventor Dryja last summer. However, this is the first time it's been implemented as a prototype with working code.

Dragos told CoinDesk:

"We built this as a standalone feature of our lightning network software. We chose data what we thought would be cool, U.S. dollars, but it could be any data you want, whether weather or a stock."

Dragos stressed that the demo is "experimental" and "shouldn't be used for real money." That said, he and other MIT researchers are convinced that with the help of the lightning network, bitcoin might one day scale to capacities originally envisioned by its early users.

As part of that work, MIT researchers have already created an implementation for the lightning network called lit, and this oracle code is an add-on of that work.

"We at DCI, we really believe in the lightning network," Dragos said. "Bitcoin doesn't scale very well. I decided there has to be something better. Turns out what's better is lightning. It's the way to scale."


But while lightning provides scale, smart contracts add other new functionality to bitcoin. For example, should the tech in MIT's test be implemented, you could make some sort of a bet based on what's happening in the world.

Or, in this case, a futures contract. Alice promises to pay Bob whatever the price of dollars is in satoshis on a certain day, say Friday. If a dollar is worth 12,150 satoshis by the end of the week, then she will end up paying that.

It's a kind of advanced smart contract use case that is usually not associated with bitcoin.

"When folks think smart contracts, they think ethereum. Their scripting language is much richer," Dragos admitted.

But, he argues that with some workarounds, bitcoin can do the same thing.

"It's not as developer friendly because bitcoin didn't go in that direction, but you can use it. You have to be a little creative," Dragos said.

In short, it uses Dryja's "discreet log contracts" scheme to broadcast data to the smart contracts. One of the most important advantages of this scheme is scalability, because most of the data doesn't need to be stored on the bitcoin blockchain.

The other is privacy, since oracles don't have any way of knowing who's using the data they're broadcasting.

"We're introducing a model where oracles are not aware of who's using the data they're using," Dragos said.


But while this simple demo is now complete, Dragos and Dryja think there are many outstanding questions and "quandaries," as Dragos put it. "From the individual oracle's perspective, they're going to want to make some money. We're going to have to understand that," Dragos said.

Another is that the oracle at this point is trusted. But there might be a way to minimize this trust by allowing a user to use many oracles at once.

But there's a certain point where MIT DCI hopes to stop working on the technology and pass it off to someone else.

"We're working with companies that might implement this," Dragos said. And though he couldn't name names, he mentioned they are "big company" partners of the DCI.

The hope is these bigger companies will be better at understanding what normal users want from the software. So, while MIT DCI built a prototype demonstrating how the underlying technology really works, they haven't produced an app as mindlessly easy to use as say, Venmo or Facebook.

"UX is not our core expertise," Dragos said.

Now it's open for people to use for whatever oracle data they want. So, it's up to the community to decide if it's worthwhile to use or not.

"It's a hard guess. It could be a significant deal if people use it. But we don't know what people are going to be using it for," he added.

Dragos stated:

"New technologies are available all the time, that doesn't mean they end up making it though."

The Chilean president, Mario Marcel, has made comment seemingly in favor of developing a regulatory apparatus for virtual currencies. The apparent openness to regulating cryptocurrencies contrasts significantly from the recent banking embargo targeting virtual currency recently witnessed in Chile.


During a forum recently held by Chile’s Finance Commission of Deputies, President Marcel made comments indicating that his administration is considering developing a legislative apparatus designed to regulate and monitor activities pertaining to Chile’s cryptocurrency sector. Presently, cryptocurrencies are entirely unregulated in Chile, and are not legally recognized as a means of exchange or securities.

Mr. Marcel spoke in favor of developing an effective means through which to monitor the cryptocurrency markets, stating that “Incorporating a regulation would allow having a registry of the participants in these activities and thus have information to monitor the associated risks,” adding that “These activities could be developed under more robust standards and mechanisms, especially in terms of market transparency, consumer protection, and prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.”

By contrast, President Marcel warned that developing an ad hoc regulatory apparatus could risk providing a false “sense of security” whilst failing to effectively manage associated risks.

Despite the comments, Mr. Marcel still questioned whether or not a regulatory framework for virtual currencies is warranted in Chile, stating “Considering that these assets exist in the country, there is an associated industry and people who own them, it is questionable if it would be appropriate to change this situation.”

Team cannot use someone`s money to buy back Helbiz. Only their own money. Dumping is not the crime, and after this Helbiz buy back statement nothing has changes in this regard. Big selling walls are still exist. On my opinion buying back is when you allocate few millions for this and build your own huge buying walls with a price 0.000019 ETH per token.
