Zero to 30: Bitcoin ATMs Come to Argentina as Peso Dives and Inflation SoarsWith inflation in Argentina expected to rise above 40 percent before the close of the year, the demand for bitcoin in the South American country has surged, resulting in cryptocurrency ATM firms projecting a large increase in the number of devices they plan to install in the country. Argentina Prime Real Estate for Bitcoin ATMs Currently, there are only two bitcoin ATMs in Argentina, both of them located in the country’s capital Buenos Aires, but by the end of the year, this figure could rise to 30, according to Reuters. The two machines were installed in the last three weeks with one activated on Sept. 18 while the newest came online on Oct. 3, according to Coin ATM Radar. Per Dante Galeazzi, the operations manager of Athena Bitcoin, the firm that launched Argentina’s first cryptocurrency ATM last month, the loss in value of the Argentinian peso vis-ŕ-vis the U.S. dollar has resulted in the marked growth of cryptocurrency transactions. “With currency devaluations, we have seen a spike in bitcoin transactions. We see that as a safeguard to [Argentinian Peso’s] value, as well as an opportunity to invest in the market,” Galeazzi told Reuters. For now, the two ATMs that have already been installed by Athena only support bitcoin, though there are plans to include other cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin cash, ethereum, and litecoin in the future. Besides the U.S.-based Athena Bitcoin, another firm which is eyeing Argentina’s cryptocurrency ATM market is Odyssey Group, also a U.S. company. Odyssey’s ATMs will, however, not be restricted to the buying and selling of digital currencies but will offer other services associated with regular ATMs, such as withdrawing and depositing cash as well as money transfers between accounts. https://www.ccn.com/from-zero-to-30-more-bitcoin-atms-coming-to-argentina-as-peso-dives-and-inflation-rises-by-double-digits/

Expert: Banks are Enthusiastic Towards Crypto, Waiting for Regulators to InvestAccording to Rebecca Harding, a financial journalist and the acclaimed author of “The Weaponization of Trade: the Great Unbalancing of policy and economics,” major financial institutions are waiting to invest in the crypto market. Harding, who operates as the CEO of Coriolis Technologies, a trade technology company that provides services to major banks and corporations in the traditional finance sector, said in an interview with Forbes contributor Billy Bambrough that the vast majority of banks are healthily skeptical and curious about crypto. She explained that banks have started to acknowledge the need to invest in the market to keep up with developments in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space, but are currently awaiting the green light from regulators and financial authorities. Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley on the Sidelines As CCN reported, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley, three of the largest investment banks in the US, have already developed a wide range of products including a trusted custodian solution to serve institutional investors in the cryptocurrency market. Morgan Stanley is said to have developed the infrastructure required to provide complex derivatives tied to Bitcoin, with the plans of launching Bitcoin swap trading as soon as the bank sees enough demand from institutions for crypto. To remain relevant in the fintech space and connected to the cryptocurrency space, Harding said that banks are closely working with newly emerging fintech companies to study the cryptocurrency market and will soon allocate capital into the asset class. https://www.ccn.com/expert-banks-are-enthusiastic-towards-crypto-waiting-for-regulators-to-invest/

Singapore’s Biggest Shipper Partners IBM in Developing Blockchain for Crucial Trade PaperworkTech giant IBM is partnering with one of Singapore’s biggest shipper, Pacific International Lines (PIL), in digitalizing one of the most important documents in shipping – Bill of Lading. The two firms will collaborate in designing and creating an electronic Bill of Lading (e-BL) which will exist on a blockchain. In international trade, the Bill of Lading not only serves as evidence of ownership of goods, receipt of shipment and contract of carriage but is also relied upon by banks and other financial institutions in the provision of trade financing. Blockchain to the Rescue But because the Bill of Lading is handled by multiple parties, there is the risk of loss and fraud. Additionally, it has to be mailed to the various parties and this results in unnecessary costs being incurred. With the e-BL which will reside on blockchain ledger developed by IBM, it is hoped that fraud and unnecessary handling costs will be eliminated. “Traditionally, information flow is predominantly handled via manual processes and the supply chain is slowed down when there are many points of communication within its framework,” PIL’s Executive Director, Lisa Teo, said in a statement. “The use of blockchain technology to allow for the direct exchange of documents and information via the decentralized network to boost transparency, eliminate disputes forgeries and unnecessary risks will be key for this industry to progress.” The collaboration between IBM and PIL is backed by among others Singapore Customs, Singapore Shipping Association, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, Bank of China (Singapore) and Infocomm Media Development Authority. https://www.ccn.com/singapores-biggest-shipper-partners-ibm-in-developing-blockchain-for-crucial-trade-paperwork/

Bitcoin Price Unexpectedly Rises to $6,600, as Market Adds $5 Billion in HoursWithin the past six hours, the cryptocurrency market has added $5 billion to its valuation as Bitcoin demonstrated an unexpected increase in its price. 1-day chart of total crypto market valuation, chart provided by Coinmarketcap.com Throughout the week, Bitcoin struggled to demonstrate recovery in its volume and momentum, as it fell below the $6,500 mark, a level which the dominant cryptocurrency managed to sustain for several weeks. Since August 9, the price of BTC has remained relatively stable in the range of $6,400 to $6,800. Apart from one instance in late September during which Bitcoin tested the $7,000 resistance level, the asset has shown a record high level of stability since June of 2017. Bitcoin Rises Abruptly Earlier this week, the vast majority of technical analysts and prominent crypto traders expressed their negative stance towards the short-term price trend of BTC. One trader who goes with the online alias “Rampage” stated that the declining volume and consistent demonstration of lower highs are expected to lead the price of BTC to drop. “Declining volume, weaker bounces, lower highs. Demand is getting eaten up and it’s just a matter of time until we break support for new yearly lows. There is nothing bullish about this chart,” he explained. Since then, the volume of Bitcoin actually dropped even more, from $4.3 billion to $3.8 billion on Coinmarketcap. On Coincap.io, the cryptocurrency market data provider of ShapeShift, which filters out exchanges suspected to have inflated volumes, the daily trading volume of Bitcoin hovers at around $2.57 billion, down 0.23 billion since October 2. https://www.ccn.com/bitcoin-price-unexpectedly-rises-to-6600-as-market-adds-5-billion-in-hours/

Ripple (XRP) Price Declines 8% While the Crypto Market Loses $9 BillionLow Volume was the Issue Yesterday, on October 2, CCN reported that the low volume of Bitcoin is a concern for traders and it could negatively impact the short-term trend of Bitcoin. “The volume of Bitcoin remains fairly low at around $4 billion, down more than 30 percent since mid-September. On Coincap, the cryptocurrency market data provider of popular digital asset trading platform ShapeShift, which eliminates exchanges suspected of having false volumes, the daily trading volume of Bitcoin is estimated to be around $2.6 billion,” the report of CCN read. It would have been possible for the dominant cryptocurrency to engage in a short-term upside movement if its volume had rebounded by around 15 to 20 percent. But, throughout the past 24 hours, the daily trading volume of Bitcoin remained at $4 billion on CoinMarketCap and $2.77 billion on Coincap.io. The volume of Bitcoin recorded a slight gain of around 1 percent, which had no notable effect on the short-term trend of the crypto market. The sudden drop in the price of XRP after Swell 2018 conference also contributed to the downtrend of major cryptocurrencies. https://www.ccn.com/ripple-xrp-price-declines-8-while-the-crypto-market-loses-9-billion/

TRON Launches Project Atlas to Bring BitTorrent Users into its BlockchainTRON is aiming to bring blockchain and file sharing together with their latest venture, Project Atlas, which will blend blockchain technology with BitTorrent’s massive peer-to-peer infrastructure. TRON acquired BitTorrent in July 2018, along with its 100 million active monthly users. BitTorrent is an established peer-to-peer network with a developed and tested infrastructure, but only time will tell how well the collaboration will work. It’s an intriguing move, but what does it mean? Peer-to-peer file sharing has always been a popular way of exchanging information and media online, with around 27 million people using it to share or download files every day. It’s clearly an important space and dates back to the early days of the internet. File sharing advocates are quick to call attention to its value in promoting democracy, openness, and the free exchange of ideas. Its detractors, of course, will point to the misuse of file sharing and torrenting platforms by pirates and criminals. Still, many projects in the space are committed to making the internet a fairer and more decentralized place, where users can interact directly with one another instead of relying on centralized third parties. In this sense, it has something in common with the world of blockchain. Project Atlas is an attempt to fuse the two spaces, with the aim of improving how file sharing works. https://www.ccn.com/tron-launches-project-atlas-to-bring-bittorrent-users-into-its-blockchain/

$2.5 Million: Binance Invests in Aussie Crypto Payments Startup to Push AdoptionAustralian cryptocurrency payments startup Travelbybit has seen a cash injection of $2.5 million from a high-profile investor in Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Crypto unicorn Binance is investing AUD $3.48 million (approx. USD$2.5 million) in TravelbyBit to further expansion of the latter’s network of cryptocurrency payment terminals following a successful implementation in Brisbane earlier this year, Business Insider Australia reported on Wednesday. The two companies will jointly collaborate in introducing a point-of-sale (POS) system – already developed by TravelbyBit – into “major airports around the world,” the report added. The objective is to propel cryptocurrency adoption among travelers who commonly see friction in currency conversion and other markup fees. Binance chief executive Changpeng Zhao said: “Let’s start with airports and go from there…Real, on-the-ground, just-when-you-need-it use case is the key to further crypto adoption. In this light, there is no better fit than being able to use your crypto when travelling, just after you land in a foreign country, where you may not have the local currency.” https://www.ccn.com/2-5-million-binance-invests-in-aussie-crypto-payments-startup-to-push-adoption/

GBTC Premium Down 10%: Will Bitcoin Drop in Price or is ETF Hype Rising Again?The premium on Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC), a publicly tradable Bitcoin instrument operated by Grayscale Investment, a $2 billion cryptocurrency fund and subsidiary of Digital Currency Group (DCG), has dropped by 10 percent in the past week. Tyler Jenks, the president of Lucid Investment, who operated as an analyst in the traditional finance sector for over 4 decades, stated that the decline in the premium on GBTC is attributable to two major factors: a potential drop in the price of Bitcoin or a shift in interest from GBTC to exchange-traded funds (ETFs). “GBTC premium down to below 10%. In the past, this would be a screaming buy. Not this time. Either Bitcoin is about to go much lower, AND/OR, Big money is betting on a new Bitcoin ETF,” Jenks said. Why GBTC Premium is Relevant Since its launch in 2016, GBTC has consistently seen substantial premium rates on its share price that represents 0.1 percent of the price of BTC. Currently, in OTC Markets, GBTC is being traded at $7.73, which means that investors in the traditional finance sector are trading BTC at a price of around $7,730. Investors purchase Bitcoin from the Bitcoin Investment Trust and Grayscale with a substantial premium because it remains as the closest publicly tradable instrument to an ETF. “Bitcoin Investment Trust is a traditional investment vehicle with shares titled in the investors name, providing a familiar structure for financial and tax advisors and easy transferability to beneficiaries under estate laws,” the Grayscale team explains. GBTC is supported by a network of trusted service providers and Bitcoin owned by the fund are stored in the vaults of Xapo, to ensure the safety of customer funds. https://www.ccn.com/gbtc-premium-down-10-will-bitcoin-drop-in-price-or-is-etf-hype-rising-again/

Один из ведущих разработчиков Ethereum Мартин Хольст Свенде на последнем совещании разработчиков выразил поддержку идеи изменения кода, которое помешало бы использованию ASIC-оборудования для добычи Ethereum. Его позиция против ASIC перекликается с мнением других разработчиков, которые поддерживают модификацию алгоритма интеллектуального анализа. Свинде руководит отделом безопасности в Ethereum Foundation, контролируя, чтобы любые изменения в сети не приводили к проблемам безопасности. Он поддерживает предложение по внедрению алгоритма ProgPOW, который повысит устойчивость сети к ASIC-майнерам, одновременно с проведением предстоящей жесткой вилки: «Я действительно думаю, что это изменение может быть реализовано параллельно с Constantinople и я за то, чтобы включить его как можно скорее», — отметил Свенде.

Tether Dominates 98% of Stablecoins’ Daily Trading Volume: ReportDespite the criticisms of opaqueness and centralization leveled against Tether, the stablecoin which was initially known as RealCoin continues to beat its rivals by wide margins.

Monero Launches Initiative to Combat Cryptocurrency Mining MalwareEarlier this week, the Monero (XMR) community announced the launch of a new website that aims to educate users on cleaning up crypto-jacking malware and ransomware. Easing Malware Victims’ Confusion and Frustration The ease of mining and privacy of Monero are standout features for the coin. However, the features attract bad actors who use the coin in malware. Justin Ehrenhofer, the director of the Malware Response Workgroup, told CCN that two main factors make XMR attractive to hackers: “Attackers like Monero for two reasons: 1) it is private, so they do not need to worry about companies and law enforcement tracing what they do with the Monero after they mine it, and 2) Monero uses a Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm that is CPU and GPU-friendly; thus, the infected machines are competitive. These two components are increasingly distinguishing factors for why attackers choose to mine Monero over other cryptocurrencies.” https://www.ccn.com/monero-launches-initiative-to-combat-cryptocurrency-mining-malware/

Japanese Tech Firm GMO Releases ‘Free’ Zcash Mining SoftwareJapanese tech firm GMO is expanding its nascent cryptocurrency mining operation beyond bitcoin through the release of a software client designed to mine zcash and other Equihash-based cryptocurrencies using general-purpose GPU chips. Japanese Firm Releases Zcash Mining Software Dubbed Cryptoknocker, the software has specifically been developed for mining rigs composed of Nvidia graphics cards (GeForce 8 or later). While the software itself is free, GMO wants a cut of the proceeds generated through it, namely, two percent of the coins users mine while running the client. GMO says that this fee is offset by a two percent efficiency improvement over other Equihash mining clients. Though used by a variety of cryptocurrencies, Equihash is most often associated with the privacy-centric zcash, currently the 21st-largest coin by market cap. Like several other mining algorithms, it was developed to be ASIC-resistant, ensuring that it could be mined without specialized hardware only available from a small group of manufacturers. However, China-based mining giant Bitmain recently announced a zcash ASIC, signaling that — unless zcash hard forks to alter its instance of Equihash — the era of mining ZEC with general-purpose hardware will soon come to an end. Faced with a similar plight following the release of a Cryptonight ASIC, monero’s community decided to activate a hard fork and “brick” those new mining rigs. Zcash, though, has chosen not to make maintaining ASIC resistance a developmental priority. https://www.ccn.com/japanese-tech-firm-gmo-releases-free-zcash-mining-software/

Tom Lee: Bitcoin Price Starting to Reverse, 2 Catalysts Will Drive it Higher in 2018Throughout 2018, Bitcoin has continued to record lower highs, testing major resistance levels at $10,000, $8,000 and $7,000. According to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, the stability of Bitcoin at $6,000 regardless of its lower highs is optimistic. In early 2018, Fundstrat emphasized in a report that the $6,000 level will likely be held by Bitcoin in the mid-term because it is the breakeven point for miners. That means, miners that utilize electricity and mining equipment to verify transactions on the Bitcoin network can still generate some profit if the price of Bitcoin stays above the $6,000 level. Lee explained on Bloomberg that the stability of BTC at the $6,000 mark and two major catalysts awaiting BTC in the year end could push the price of BTC up substantially within the next two months. https://www.ccn.com/tom-lee-bitcoin-price-starting-to-reverse-2-catalysts-will-drive-it-higher-in-2018/

Kenya’s Blockchain Task Force Advises Gov’t to Replace Cash With Digital CurrencyThe chairman of the Distributed Ledgers and Artificial Intelligence taskforce, Bitange Ndemo has advised the Kenyan government to tokenize its economy in order to deal with the increasing issues of corruption and uncertainty. Ndemo made known his opinion during a meeting between the Kenyan ICT ministry stakeholders and members of the private sector. He noted that the East African country needs a digital currency that would stand side-by-side with fiat. “We must begin to tokenize the economy by giving incentives to young people to do things which they are paid through tokens that can be converted to Fiat currency,” Ndemo said Kenya is Open to Innovation Kenya is one of Africa’s leading countries in terms of blockchain and cryptocurrency development. Some of the region’s largest blockchain remittances originated from Kenya. Beyond remittances, the East African nation is notable for the friendly environment that it provides for not just blockchain, but technological innovations in general. Active legislative discussions over blockchain and cryptocurrency related programs show the interest that the Kenyan government have in blockchain technology. This is evident in the government’s effort towards finding proper regulatory frameworks for the technology over time. In August 2018, the country’s electoral commision even showed signs of adopting blockchain technology in voting processes. According to Ndemo, Tokens are like bonga points given by mobile operators or loyalty points given at the supermarkets, it can be converted to coins and used to buy goods of any choice by the user. https://www.ccn.com/kenyas-blockchain-task-force-advises-govt-to-replace-cash-with-digital-currency/
