Is Cryptocurrency Greener Than Gold?Cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular require quite a lot of energy in order to run and secure its network, a process commonly known as mining. For many, the numbers are truly concerning, in particular if we consider its implied massive carbon footprint. Just recently the energy required to secure the network topped the entire energy consumption of Chile. So, is cryptocurrency in general just getting a bad rap from the media, or are they truly big wasteful energy hogs?

Lykke 2020 Crypto PredictionsThe new year is here, even according to the Chinese calendar, and there seems to be a source of renewed optimism within the crypto industry. 2019 proved to be a year of brutal reckoning, ICO fever died down and plenty of dubious projects — hiding behind the overused “utility tokens” moniker — finally faced the harsh verdict of the market. While all this seems rather negative, in hindsight, it could also be considered a blessing in disguise, a process that perhaps paved the way for a clear, more focused and productive 2020.

Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive and Introducing Account LevelsAs European Union’s 28 member nation-states adopt the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive or AMLD5, blockchain and crypto companies gear up to comply with the new requirements. At Lykke, compliance has always been at the center of our efforts and the entry into force of the AMLD5 has very little impact on our onboarding process. Lykke is leveraging AMLD5 to introduce the concepts of account levels in order to formalize the documents/information requirements and resulting account limits for its users.

2019, Crypto Year In ReviewThe year back in 2018 proved to be a hard test of both endurance and faith for most cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The bear market took many casualties, with funds closing and exchanges seeing volume numbers drop to unthinkable levels. 2019, while better in overall terms compared to 2018’s widespread despair, hasn’t shown enough mercy so far for many projects. These negative trends continued, albeit on a lesser scale. Let’s go over the most important events of the year and what can we expect for 2020.

Interview with Richard Olsen, Lykke’s CEO, on Short LyCIWhy is Short LyCI called short?'Short' is the term that professional traders use for investments that are profitable when the market drops. This is opposed to investors buying 'long' products. ‘Long’ is the term for traders that make money out of price rises hoping that in the long run the asset will continue growing in value. Professional investors have access to financial products that can still make money even if the market as a whole has moved southwards. This is one of the things that maintains the gap between professional investors and regular investors. However, now ShortLyCI offers regular investors an easy opportunity to make money out of downward price movements; this is a first in the crypto market.
