2181  Economy / Speculation / Re: SEC delays decision on ETF again, Vaneck, SolidX withdraw proposal on: December 02, 2021, 04:10:26 PM
However, VanEck has sent an application to the SEC to launch an ETF focused on miner shares, which will include shares of companies that receive at least half of their income from activities related to cryptocurrency mining. These are, among others, suppliers of ASIC devices and developers of the corresponding software.

2183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: December 02, 2021, 08:59:02 AM
Cheddar News correspondent Alex Vuokolo tells how the use of Bitcoin bonds of El Salvador will help to weaken the country's dependence on external debt. After all, at the moment El Salvador is negotiating with the IMF to borrow $1.3 billion, the loss of this funding threatens with a budget deficit of about $1 billion. Bitcoin bonds will not help close this gap, but according to Samson Mou, Blockstream's chief strategy officer, it can serve as the basis for subsequent bonds that could help the country ease its dependence on external debt.




2184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeFi hacks [history] on: December 02, 2021, 08:13:35 AM
BadgerDAO reported unauthorized withdrawal of user funds, engineers BadgerDAO are investigating this issue, the protocol's smart contracts have been temporarily suspended.



One of the victims lost 896 BTC https://etherscan.io/tx/0x951babdddbfbbba81bbbb7991a959d9815e80cc5d9418d10e692f41541029869 , in total about $ 100 million was withdrawn from the project.



But whether it was an attack or the funds were simply burned as a result of using a bug in contracts is not yet clear.

2185  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey running his own Bitcoin node on: December 02, 2021, 07:54:57 AM
Jack Dorsey has confirmed that he has left the post of head of Twitter.
Maybe Jack wants to dedicate more time to Square with making new hardware wallet and his announced tbdex bitcoin decentralized exchange.
I just hope twitter won't fall into some new level heavy censorship without him.

He is more focused on other projects like you mentioned and has given some hints that he is into deep bitcoin promotion and adoption like running a node, creating hardware wallet,LN tipping system on Twitter and now the exchange and all other but we hope the same as you said and it remains the same old way as it is free from any control.

Yes, you are right about this and there is already confirmation of this Smiley : Square has announced a rebranding, it will change its name to Block, the company will change its legal name on December 10. Its shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE under the ticker SQ. The Square Crypto project focused on bitcoin promotion will now be called Spiral.

MATIC rose to $2.19 after 21Shares announced its listing of a product related to the effectiveness of the cryptocurrency on the Euronext exchanges in Paris and Amsterdam, but so far it has not updated the ATH achieved in May.

2188  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fidelity entering the crypto world on: December 01, 2021, 12:02:35 PM
Fidelity Investments received regulatory approval to launch a spot bitcoin ETF in Canada, because of the SEC's position, there was nothing left but to launch the product in a neighboring country.



2189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everything you wanted to know about Grayscale BTC Trust but were afraid to ask! on: December 01, 2021, 11:36:07 AM
Yet another step in the wrong direction.
I cannot understand their strategy about this whole situation.
What is the point of launching a new, doubtful fund, when your flagship is trading badly at a huge discount and nobody is betting on this being converted to an ETF (notwithstanding declaration from Grayscale?)

Maybe this will somehow help and the SEC will have to respond to a letter sent by Grayscale to the regulator, which states that the SEC's actions to approve bitcoin ETFs based on futures and at the same time rejecting applications based on its spot option may indicate a violation of the law on Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/125817/grayscale-argues-the-secs-bitcoin-etf-treatment-could-violate-the-apa

     


So because of the SEC's position on spot bitcoin ETFs, Fidelity Investments had no choice but to launch the product in Canada.

There are only 10 days left before the swap and Beetle's transition to the bsc blockchain, the developers remind that it is desirable to transfer their coins to the SouthXchange exchange (I don't know why exactly there, because Stex and Altmarkets will also support swap) until December 11 in order not to have problems with swap. Exchanges that do not support swap are Mercatox and crex24

2191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everything you wanted to know about Grayscale BTC Trust but were afraid to ask! on: December 01, 2021, 08:14:59 AM
Grayscale Investments has announced the launch of a trust to invest in the native token of the Solana network. To determine the daily value of an asset, the trust uses the coinDesk Solana price index (SLX). The annual commission for using the service will be 2.5%.

2192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeFi hacks [history] on: December 01, 2021, 07:39:48 AM
The Polygon based MonoX DeFi platform was hacked, the hacker managed to withdraw crypto assets worth $31 million, the following assets were withdrawn:
 -5.7M MATIC ($10.5M)
- 3.9k WETH ($18.2M)
- 36.1 WBTC ($2M)
- 1.2k LINK ($31k)
- 3.1k GHST ($9.1k)
- 5.1M DUCK ($257k)
- 4.1k MIM ($4.1k)
- 274 IMX ($2k)



The developers of MonoX confirmed the fact of hacking and apologized to investors, but the developers also said that the incident is being investigated and measures are being taken to refund funds.
As it turned out during the investigation, the hacking mechanism looked like this: the attacker managed to raise the price of the MONO token to the skies with the help of a swap contract, and then purchase all the other assets in the pool for it.

Finally, Microstrategy announced their latest buying:


https://twitter.com/saylor/status/1465305537210458115?s=21


Looking into. details we discover this is a buy from the ATM facility, as the activity has been spread over a considerable amount of time, like the last buys:

Quote
As previously disclosed, on June 14, 2021, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as agent (“Jefferies”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.0 billion from time to time through Jefferies. On November 29, 2021, the Company also announced that during the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year to date (the period between October 1, 2021 and November 29, 2021), the Company had issued and sold an aggregate of 571,001 Shares under the Sale Agreement, at an average gross price per Share of approximately $732.16, for aggregate net proceeds to the Company (less sales commissions and expenses) of approximately $414.4 million.


In the following spreadsheet the ATM facility buys have a Tan shade:

Yes, according to the SEC, MicroStrategy bought these bitcoins starting from October 1 to November 29, this leads to a total stock of 121,044 BTC from MicroStrategy.

CoinDCX will launch an IPO after the appearance of certainty from the regulator, its co-founder Niraja Khandelwal told Bloomberg. The co-founder of the first crypto unicorn in India believes that the sale of shares will be a vote of confidence for the digital asset industry in the country.

2200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Omicron token gained 900% after WHO name-new variant on: November 29, 2021, 05:19:07 PM
Yes, it's just that in relation to Omicron, in my opinion, there was a click-name of the pump due to the coincidence of the name of the token with the new threat, but the trading volume, although it increased by x100, did not even exceed $1 million. But thanks to this, the token has received attention from the press and this should benefit the community and the team. Smiley
