Today, it’s election day – The US presidential election comes to an end today. Who from the Trump bloc or the Biden bloc will win? Even if Bitcoin (BTC) has no side, crypto-enthusiasts and Bitcoiners have divergent opinions on who will be „the best“ to foster the future of the king of crypto.

Re-election of Trump: an economic recovery favourable to Bitcoin?
As part of the elections for President of the United States, Bitcoin Magazine published the results of a poll on the position of Bitcoiners in favour of one or other of the candidates.

Of the 125 people who responded to the survey, 46.4% indicated that they hoped Donald Trump would be re-elected.

In their comments related to the survey, Trump’s supporters cited the fact that he would be best able to stimulate the economy :

„I think asset prices will continue to rise because the economy will improve;
„Trump is more likely to stimulate the economy as a whole and this will be good for asset prices and therefore for Bitcoin;
„If his administration continues to hand out cheques, more price spikes will drive up Bitcoin and the stock market.
Biden’s election: health crisis management for a gradual recovery?
Joe Biden’s camp, on the other hand, only receives 34.4% of the Bitcoiners‘ favours – 19.2% prefer neither.

Clearly, Biden is seen by his supporters as the most appropriate person to deal with the Coronavirus health crisis:

„Biden will do a good job in solving the current Covid-19 crisis. Eventually the economy will improve, but it will take more time. The volatility of bitcoin prices will be less and the increase will be gradual. »

More broadly, regardless of who wins the US presidential election, respondents all seem convinced that in the long run the value of Bitcoin will eventually increase.

Trump or Biden, it doesn’t matter! Bitcoin does indeed seem destined to grow gradually, all around the world. The only thing either one will be able to do is to encourage, or more likely slow down (through regulation), the spread and adoption of the king of cryptos.

The decentralized Audius music streaming service has raised nearly $10 million so far.

Binance, the world’s largest exchange of cryptomites, is investing in a major decentralized audio streaming service through its investment and incubation arm.

According to an Oct. 23 announcement, Binance Labs led a $1.25 million extension round for Audius, a blockchain-enabled streaming service that connects music fans to artists.

The latest round of investment follows a $3.1 million round co-led by Multicoin Capital and Bitcoin Hero in July 2020. Major industry players such as Pantera Capital and Coinbase Ventures also participated in the round, as previously announced.

According to Audius co-founder and CEO Roneil Rumburg, the latest rounds bring the platform’s total investment to $9.8 million. Rumburg told the Cointelegraph that he would use the funds to help artists grow and expand their audience base within the system.

Launched in 2018, Audius is a decentralised music sharing and streaming protocol designed to facilitate direct transactions between listeners and artists. Some of the prominent creators enrolled in Audius include Portland’s Portuguese-American musician RAC, Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5 and American DJ Justin David Blau, better known as 3LAU.

According to the protocol white paper, the Audius protocol is „a mix“ of intelligent contracts on the Ethereum network, while different parts of the protocol are configured to work on different blockchain-based platforms.

On October 8, the start-up launched the platform’s native Audio Coin (ADC) token. The functionality of the token includes security, access to resources and governance. The ADC can be obtained by users to impact future protocol updates.

Developments in crypto and blockchain technologies are attracting more and more artists in the music industry. At the end of September, French DJ David Guetta closed a deal with the virtual reality platform focusing on Sensorium Galaxy encryption.

There is a 75 percent chance that Bitcoin will break out of its ongoing consolidation pattern bullish.
According to the independent analyst Vince Prince, the benchmark cryptocurrency is making „marginal“ upward movements in a structure of the Ascending Channel.

That leaves her with two possible outcomes. First, Bitcoin is consolidating within the channel as it breaks below the „ascending trendline“; second, it stays above the trendline and later breaks out of the range entirely.

Prince endorsed the second result. It denotes every price turning point of the crypto currency with an alphabet. Hence, the term “A” represents the first withdrawal from resistance in the Ascending Channel. The next withdrawal from the channel support is “B” while the third and most recent upward withdrawal is from “C”.

In the middle of what is known as the ABC wave, he has placed a 100-hour moving average that supports the sustained upward movement.

The Bitcoin Bull Case Explained

Due to the overall technical structure, BTC / USD has a higher chance of breaking out of the channel area, according to Prince. If so, the pair would extend its upward move toward what is known as „C-wave elongation“ near $ 11,695.

„[There’s] a 75 percent chance that Bitcoin will manage to consolidate further forward between the channel and the trendline,“ writes Prince. „[Then] it would go on and form the C-wave extension.“

The bullish forecast comes a week after Bitcoin Code turned down the $ 11,750 resistance. Traders became increasingly bullish after Square, a global payments platform led by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, put $ 50 million BTC on its balance sheets.

That sparked speculation among institutions about the growing importance of Bitcoin as a store of value. Lately, many wealth management firms and independent businesses on Wall Street have sold their cash reserves to get a stake in Bitcoin . The churn stems from their fears that the US dollar could depreciate in the future.

Prince acknowledges these fundamentals in his bullish thesis. The analyst comments that BTC / USD could stay above the ascending trend line because it is from there that „smart money picks up the trading of inexperienced investors“.

„Explosion“ theory

Konstantin Anissimov, executive director of the crypto exchange CEX.IO, expects the prices of Bitcoin – as well as Ethereum – to explode in the coming meetings.

„Not only are listed companies including BTC on their balance sheets, but CFTC chairman Heath Tarbert was also“ impressed „by the progress that ETH has made in becoming the“ computer of the world „, according to Anissimov. „Such an endorsement is quite significant as it shows that the mass adoption of these digital assets is happening right now.“

Bitcoin and Ethereum will march to new highs for the year, he believes.

Coinbase has decided to sponsor at least two crypto core developers who are part of the crypto community. The search for scholarship holders began on October 15, 2020.

On October 15, 2020, the crypto trading platform Coinbase announced it would sponsor at least two Bitcoin developers who contribute directly to the Bitcoin Core codebase or to closely related Bitcoin projects.

The company’s goal is to create “an open financial system” for everyone

We believe that helping the crypto economy to connect and grow is vital to building an open financial system for the world. Our Crypto Community Fund aims to grow and improve the entire crypto industry while making it easier and safer for everyone to use. If successful, we intend to expand the program to other types of projects and crypto communities.

In the following, Coinbase turned to the community. Bitcoin core developers can now be advertised or nominated on https://thebitcoinprofit.org/. The incoming suggestions would then be judged by current Bitcoin Core developers and key community members. The final decision will be made by Coinbase itself. Coinbase commented on the appeal as follows:

We are happy to fund projects almost anywhere in the world. While we’d like to focus on one-year developer grants, we also encourage people or teams with shorter projects to apply. If successful, we hope to grow the Crypto Community Fund over time.

Coinbase’s “openness” under discussion

On September 27, 2020 expressedBrian Armstrong, Coinbase’s Chief Executive Officer, on the company’s internal values. He spoke out in favor of a kind of political ban on discussion. BTC ECHO reported at the time. Armstrong Ars said that one should be careful not to lose sight of one’s goal. After all, Coinbase is a for-profit company. He also wants his employees to distance themselves from political and social discussions and to concentrate explicitly on their own products and customers.

I want Coinbase to focus on achieving its mission because I believe that this is how we can have the greatest impact on the world.

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of the payment company Square, criticized Armstrong’s statements. His corporate policy views of not debating politics at work would fundamentally contradict the purpose of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin . Meanwhile, Dorsey welcomed off via Twitter for promoting the Bitcoin Core developers.

An increasing amount of Bitcoins is being accumulated by institutions.

This was evident once again on Tuesday, when Stone Ridge Asset Management revealed to Forbes that it had purchased 10,000 BTCs – equivalent to one percent of assets under management.

Investors believe that a further institutional adaptation of the crypto currency could lead to parabolic prices.

How much could Bitcoin rise through institutions?

Bill Barhydt, CEO of Abra and former employee of the CIA and Goldman Sachs, believes that BTC would rise sharply if only 5% of the liquid assets held by the nine largest companies in the S&P 500 were to be invested in Bitcoin:

„Nine firms in the S&P 500 alone have nearly $600 billion in cash and short-term investments. 5% of those that would go into #Bitcoin (or $30 billion) would probably be five times the price of Bitcoin, given the lack of sellers. (3/6).“

Although this calculation may not quite work out in your head, you should consider Fiat amplifiers. The amplifier is a concept where for every Fiat dollar invested in Bitcoin or crypto currencies in general, the market capitalization of the room increases by more than $1.

Estimates suggest that the fiat amplifier is approximately two to 25 times higher, depending on the phase of the market cycle the crypto currencies are in.

At times when investors expect upside potential, the fiat booster grows as investors do not want to sell their coins too early.
Increase of BTC exposure

Barhydt analyzes the institutional adaptation situation as he tries to increase his personal commitment to Bitcoin. Barhydt „is considering doubling the allocation of #Bitcoin in my personal portfolio to 25%“.

In his explanation of why he thinks this is a good idea, he refers to inflationary tendencies:

„Given the acceleration in currency inflation and the likely subsequent price inflation, this seems a better weighting than my current 12%.

He adds that his contacts say that returns in old markets like stocks are likely to be „subdued“ for the next five years. This trend could lead to capital being directed into alternative investments that may be able to provide healthy returns – such as gold and Bitcoin.

The comments are reminiscent of the statements of a number of other investors in the crypto space who have dramatically increased their Bitcoin exposure against the current macro background. Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision, for example, has invested more than 50% of his liquid net assets in Bitcoin.

I dati sui derivati Bitcoin mostrano che i trader professionisti hanno aumentato le loro posizioni corte nelle ultime tre settimane. Il mese di ottobre è appena iniziato e l’azione dei prezzi nei mercati dei cripto-mercati è stata entusiasmante e preoccupante. Bitcoin (BTC) ha visto un forte rifiuto di $10.9K e un rapido calo di $10.2K nell’ultima settimana.

L’azione di prezzo della sega a frusta è stata la norma nelle ultime tre settimane ed è abbastanza raccapricciante per i tori e gli orsi. Indipendentemente dal motivo alla base di queste mosse, il recente flusso di notizie di eventi criptati negativi ha chiaramente spaventato gli investitori.

Nelle ultime due settimane KuCoin è stata violata per 150 milioni di dollari, BitMEX è stata accusata di molteplici violazioni legali, John McAfee’s è stato arrestato, e il principale organo di vigilanza finanziaria del Regno Unito ha deciso di vietare gli scambi di derivati crittografici. Questo è stato sufficiente a rompere la correlazione in corso da 30 giorni con l’S&P 500 e anche a segnalare che il sentimento del mercato potrebbe essere cambiato.

Il grafico sopra riportato mostra quanto sia stata forte la correlazione tra S&P 500 e Bitcoin Revolution nel corso dell’anno. Non ci sono state quasi settimane in cui l’azione dei prezzi si sia differenziata tra i due mercati. Le poche eccezioni che esistono sono state nella prima settimana di settembre e nel corso degli ultimi sei giorni.

Per capire ulteriormente se questa divergenza è causata dal crescente interesse per la crittovaluta o dalla sua mancanza, i trader dovrebbero controllare il volume degli scambi. Il volume è diminuito negli scambi principali, il che è difficile da inquadrare come positivo. Ciò dimostra chiaramente l’interesse degli investitori, almeno ai livelli attuali.

Non si dovrebbe concludere automaticamente che i trader sono ribassisti esclusivamente a causa delle metriche di volume. Affinché questa situazione si verifichi, sia gli acquirenti che i venditori devono essere riluttanti a negoziare all’attuale fascia di prezzo.

Il tasso di finanziamento mostra che i pantaloncini si sentono sicuri

L’eccessivo effetto leva da entrambe le parti si rifletterà sul tasso di finanziamento. Ciò accade a causa del fatto che ogni contratto a termine perpetuo a termine ha un costo di utilizzo del margine incorporato.

I tassi di finanziamento vengono di solito cambiati ogni 8 ore per garantire che non vi sia uno squilibrio del rischio di cambio e anche se l’interesse aperto sia da parte degli acquirenti che dei venditori è sempre uguale, la leva finanziaria può variare. Se gli acquirenti utilizzano più leva finanziaria dei venditori, il tasso di finanziamento sarà positivo e gli acquirenti pagheranno. L’opposto avviene quando i venditori di contratti futuri sono quelli che chiedono più margine.

Dopo un breve picco all’inizio di settembre, il tasso di finanziamento è stato piatto o leggermente negativo. Un tasso negativo dello 0,05% su 8 ore equivale all’1% a settimana e, sebbene ragionevolmente alto, non è sufficiente a spingere i trader a chiudere le loro posizioni. Questo non si traduce necessariamente in investitori ribassisti, ma segnala che i venditori di contratti futures sono quelli che utilizzano più leva.

I top trader sono neutrali rispetto agli short

I dati forniti in borsa evidenziano il posizionamento netto da lungo a breve termine dei trader. Analizzando la posizione di ogni cliente sul posto, i contratti perpetui e i futures, si può ottenere una visione più chiara se i trader professionisti sono inclini al rialzo o al ribasso.

Detto questo, ci sono occasionali discrepanze nelle metodologie tra le diverse borse, per cui gli spettatori dovrebbero monitorare i cambiamenti invece di cifre assolute.

Come mostra il grafico qui sopra, i trader di OKEx sono stati net short dal 14 settembre. Questo è accaduto mentre BTC stava cercando di rompere la resistenza di 10.500 dollari. Supponendo che questi trader siano entrati in posizioni corte vicino a quel livello, la perdita massima affrontata finora è stata del 7%.

Per valutare se si è trattato di un movimento isolato o legato allo scambio, dobbiamo confrontare i dati di altri scambi. Anche se i top trader di Binance non sono entrati in una posizione corta netta, il 13 settembre erano al 10% di lunghezza netta e da allora hanno mantenuto un livello simile.

Come già detto in precedenza, le borse hanno metodologie diverse per l’indice longs-to-short, e i clienti potrebbero detenere depositi BTC più estesi (o più piccoli) per varie ragioni.

Sia i volumi poco brillanti che un tasso di raccolta leggermente negativo indicano una mancanza di interesse tra gli acquirenti ai livelli attuali. Nel frattempo, i top trader e i dati sulle posizioni nette mostrano il più basso rapporto lungo/corto in 10 settimane.

Anche se questa posizione da neutrale a ribassista è stata mantenuta da metà settembre, la recente azione sui prezzi non è stata sufficiente a produrre scommesse rialziste.

Lo scenario attuale si risolverà probabilmente con una stretta corta una volta che BTC avrà superato i $11.500, oppure potrebbe amplificare una flessione se gli orsi riusciranno a strappare il controllo del prezzo e dello slancio di Bitcoin.

“Det er en fantastisk blockchain”, en vanlig enighet når det gjelder Bitcoin. I tillegg til at den digitale valutaen til slutt begynte å bli fantastisk, er det en utmerket kryptoplattform. Egenskapene er altfor sterke til å bli glemt til tross for alle manglene det har. La oss innse sannheten, selv om det er tøft å bruke Bitcoin anonymt, er det mulig, men utfordrende.

I den moderne verden er det vanskelig å skjule identiteten din riktig. Det er fordi du blir tvunget til å legge igjen fysiske eller digitale fingeravtrykk. Naturligvis er Bitcoin Trader en del av realøkonomien, og når du bruker den, er det alltid vanskelig å være anonym.

Bitcoin-transaksjoner er ikke knyttet til et individ eller identitet fra sin natur. Digitale adresser, som er alfanumeriske strenger på blockchain, er standard i operasjoner – alt i kontrakten som skal sees for en persons identitet, fysiske adresse eller e-post.

Navnet på en person kan imidlertid også gjenkjennes av detaljer og IP-adresser på den offentlige adressen. Men du kan beskytte din anonymitet og bli en anonym person effektivt. Det er, hvis du kan vurdere disse varene.

Og tapet av anonymitet

Bare å si, flere ganger på dagen, avslører du identiteten din. For eksempel utsetter du identiteten din for å bruke penger ved å bruke tradisjonelle betalingsmetoder, for eksempel debet- eller bankkontoer. Det er fordi du har alle personopplysningene i rapportene dine med finansinstitusjonen du bruker. Ikke bare det, men hver gang du e-post eller mottar midler, vet banken hvor mye du sender og til hvem du sender.

Det er her Bitcoin varierer fra normen. I stedet for å avsløre din virkelige identitet, bytter du peer-to-peer når du sender eller mottar valuta. Det betyr bare at en tredjepart ikke er involvert. Midlene dine kobles til en bitcoin-konto, der detaljene ikke er knyttet.

Kravet om å bli utelatt for en tredjepart var opprinnelig ment å gi brukerne mulighet til å handle anonymt. Dessverre vrir noen mennesker operativsystemet og bruker det av gale grunner. De ønsker å holde identitetene dekket opp mens mennesker begår vold.

Konsekvensen er at Bitcoin lar enkeltpersoner kjøpe og selge stjålne produkter på nettet. Advokatfullmektiger kan heller ikke finne ut hvem som er ansvarlig for salget.

Programvare og maskinvare som er anonym

Du vil aldri en gang vite at noen eller noe ser på deg når du tenker på det. Det første trekket ditt er å forsvare deg selv når du lager en kryptert lommebok. Du kan gjøre det ved å kjøpe en billig laptop for å bli kvitt pushen.

Den anonyme lommeboken for Bitcoin

Du kan nå faktisk lage en lommebok. Nå er du der. En rekke metoder er tilgjengelige for å utføre dette trekket. Den tryggeste måten er potensielt å bruke bitadress.org.

finansiering

Vi er nå på det vanskeligste stadiet i hele prosessen: finansieringen av lommen. Du vil absolutt ikke gå på et nettsted som Coinbase i akkurat denne situasjonen. Før du sendte mynter til din anonyme adresse, kobler du bankkontoen din. Det er ikke intellektuelt. Tvert imot, den enkleste måten å finne mynter på er å møte noen andre som er forberedt på å gi deg. Også på det tidspunktet bør du imidlertid gå rett til kompisen din på en sti.

Anonyme utgifter til Bitcoin lommebøker

Du kan være nysgjerrig på å kjøpe ting med Bitcoin på dette tidspunktet. Du vil koble deg til TAILS og laste ned en lite klient som Electrum for det formålet. Aktiver kontoen din med det. Du må laste ned på nytt når du vil bruke på det, men det tar bare noen få minutter. Du er forberedt nok til at kundene kan betale direkte.

Fordeler med anonym Bitcoin lommebok

Den grunnleggende appellen for mange brukere av Bitcoin er suverenitet, og enda mer bredt en av de sentrale grunnsetningene i cryptocururrency. Digitale valutaer lar forbrukere, i det minste i prinsippet, være mer uavhengige av sine egne penger enn fiat-valutaer. Ved å jobbe med et sentralt organ, for eksempel en bank eller myndighet, kan brukere regulere hvordan de investerer pengene sine.

Rådgivende

Bitcoin-shopping er anonymt. Når en person ikke fritt oppgir Bitcoin-transaksjonene, blir hans kjøp aldri koblet til navnet hans, akkurat som betalinger kontant, og kan ikke spores tilbake til ham umiddelbart. Hvert kjøp oppdaterer også den anonyme Bitcoin-adressen som er oppgitt for å kjøpe fra kunden. For ikke å avklare, bitcoin-overføringer er anonyme eller helt ikke sporbare, men langt mindre lett korrelert med personlige identiteter enn konvensjonelle betalingsformer.

• Bitcoin stieren haasten zich om de voorzichtige steun van $11.800 veilig te stellen na een andere afwijzing van $12.000.
• Plan B gelooft dat Bitcoin’s volgende bullish target 2017’s all-time high is.

De prijsactie van Bitcoin is vooral mondain geweest omdat het niet in staat was om de congestie van de verkoper met $12.000 te boven te komen. Er was een kortstondig herstel gedurende het weekend, ondersteund door de steun die werd vastgesteld op het 61,8% Fibonacci retracement niveau, dat werd genomen tussen de laatste swing high van $12.084 en een swing low van $11.120. Terwijl het momentum boven de $11.900 uitkwam, verhandelde Bitcoin een weekend high van $11.945 voordat het aan de lopende retraite begon.

Op het moment van schrijven handelt Bitcoin Evolution tegen $11.819. De jacht op hogere ondersteuning is begonnen, bij voorkeur $11.800. De Relative Strength Index (RSI) bevindt zich ook in het midden van een retraite van de weekend high op 57. Als de beweging onder de middellijn doorgaat en de RSI dichter bij 30 komt (oververkocht), kunnen we verwachten dat BTC/USD het bearish leg onder $11,800 zal verlengen.

BTC/USD 1 uur grafiek

Het is echter waarschijnlijk dat er ook consolidatie zal plaatsvinden, vooral met de MACD die zich vastklampt aan de middellijn (0,00). Een zijdelingse koersactie zou door de stieren worden toegejuicht omdat het hen ruimschoots de tijd geeft om formidabele steungebieden veilig te stellen terwijl ze zich concentreren op de volgende rally naar meer dan 12.000 dollar.

Volgens Plan B toont een pseudonieme analist, het stock-to-flow (S2F) model, aan dat Bitcoin zich nog steeds in een bullish fase bevindt en dat het volgende koersdoel van de huidige koersactie 2017 all-time high is, dicht bij $20,000. Voorlopig is alle aandacht gericht op het creëren van een geducht hoger ondersteuningsgebied en het overwinnen van de horde op $12.000.

Con el dominio de Bitcoin en declive, los altcoins han alcanzado nuevas cotas, abriendo así la posibilidad de otra altseason. Para ser precisos, una temporada de altcoin forma parte del ciclo del mercado cuando se observan aumentos excesivos en el precio de los altcoin contra Bitcoin Code y la moneda fiduciaria. Este aumento de precio tiene lugar después de un período de estancamiento o caída, por lo que se producen en fases o ciclos.

Un contraste de dominio de bitcoin y altcoin

En el gráfico anterior, la dominancia del bitcoin [naranja] ha disminuido desde que alcanzó un nuevo máximo en la primera semana de mayo. El dominio de Altcoin [rojo], sin embargo, ha visto exactamente lo contrario; ha aumentado desde finales de marzo y ha visto un incremento total de ~75% desde 2020.

El contraste aquí es que este aumento en la dominancia de los altcoin viene en un momento en que la dominancia del BTC está en declive. La caída del 8% en el dominio de la BTC ha proporcionado a las monedas alternativas el impulso suficiente para aumentar, y comenzar la altseason.

El dominio del BTC y el dominio de las monedas alternativas son, en cierto modo, inversamente proporcionales. Además, el estancamiento del precio de Bitcoin en el rango de 9.000 a 10.000 dólares ha hecho que los altcoins, también conocidos como shitcoins, sean más interesantes y atractivos. El flujo de capital hacia los altcoins, mientras BTC se estanca, ha causado que el precio de muchos altcoins suba tanto.

¿Ya es temporada de altcoins?

Cardano ha subido un 189% desde 2020, la ficha de CRO de Crypto.com ha subido un 237%. Tal vez el aumento más notable en los 40 primeros es el de Aave’s LEND, que ha visto un aumento asombroso de 1882% YTD.

Mientras que el dominio de la moneda alternativa ha aumentado definitivamente causando una temporada alternativa, la pregunta más persistente en la mente de todos es si este aumento continuará. Tal vez, queda un poco más de jugo en el rally del altcoin, especialmente considerando la caída de Bitcoin que aún no ha ocurrido. Dado que esta caída pronto será seguida por un aumento en el precio de Bitcoin [la carrera alcista], este es un buen momento para invertir en altcoins o tomar beneficios en BTC.

Bitso erreicht 1 Mio. Benutzer als Krypto-Adoptionsspitzen in Lateinamerika

Krypto-Währungsumtausch auf Basis von Ripple and Coin-Basis Bitso hat den argentinischen Krypto-Währungsmarkt in den sechs Monaten nach dem Start angeführt.

Bitso, eine der größten Kryptogeld-Börsen Lateinamerikas, hat vor ihrer bevorstehenden Einführung in Brasilien bereits 1 Million Benutzer erreicht.

Santiago Alvarado, Direktor für grenzüberschreitende Zahlungen bei Bitso, erörterte am 8. Juli während eines Unitize-Panels die jüngsten Entwicklungen bei Bitcoin Billionaire bei der Nutzung von Krypto für grenzüberschreitende Zahlungen in Lateinamerika. Der Diskussion schlossen sich Craig DeWitt, Direktor von Ripple’s Produkt Craig DeWitt, und Reed Cataldo von Prysm Group an.

Bitso führt argentinischen Markt nach Einführung im Februar an

Während der Podiumsdiskussion verriet Alvarado, dass Bitso einen wichtigen Meilenstein erreicht hat, indem es letzte Woche einen Markt von einer Million Anwendern erreichte. Nachdem er den mexikanischen und argentinischen Kryptomarkt überflügelt habe, rechne Bitso nun mit dem Eintritt in Brasilien, sagte Alvarado.

Bitso ist Mexikos erste Krypto-Börse, die seit 2014 in Betrieb ist, und die größte Krypto-Handelsplattform des Landes. Nach der Einführung des Dienstes in Argentinien im Februar 2020 ist Bitso bereits zur größten Krypto-Börse des Landes geworden, so Alvarado.

Lateinamerika ist einer der aktivsten Märkte für Krypto

Nach Angaben der Exekutive hängt Bitsos Erfolg in Argentinien mit außerordentlichen Krypto-Aktivitäten und einer erhöhten Nachfrage nach grenzüberschreitenden Zahlungen auf dem lokalen Markt zusammen. „Argentinien hat eine sehr große Krypto-Gemeinschaft und eine riesige freiberufliche Nutzerbasis“, sagte Alvarado und bemerkte, dass eine Reihe lokaler Freiberufler und Ingenieurbüros Krypto verwenden, um Zahlungen von Arbeitgebern in den Vereinigten Staaten zu erhalten.

Alvarado wies auch darauf hin, dass die insgesamt schnelle Verbreitung von Kryptographie in Lateinamerika ein Ergebnis der zunehmenden Entwicklung der Vertriebsinfrastruktur und des schnellen Wachstums des Smartphone-Besitzes sei. „In Lateinamerika haben etwa 50% oder 60% der Bevölkerung Bankkonten, aber fast 80% haben Smartphones“, sagte Alvarado und bezeichnete Mobiltelefone als wichtige Faktoren, die eine „enorme Innovation bei der Bereitstellung von Finanzdienstleistungen“ ermöglichen.

Die Nachricht kommt inmitten einer offensichtlichen Zunahme des Handels mit kryptoelektronischen Währungen in Argentinien. In der Woche, die am 7. Juli endete, wurden in Argentinien 92 Bitcoins (BTC) auf LocalBitcoins gehandelt – der größte Betrag, der seit 2016 an der argentinischen Börse laut Bitcoin Billionaire gehandelt wurde. Den Daten von Coin Dance zufolge entsprach dies über 100 Millionen argentinischen Pesos – die größte Menge an Lokalwährung, die jemals gegen BTC gehandelt wurde.

Wie berichtet, ist Bitso ein früher Partner von Ripple, der hinter der viertgrößten Kryptowährung nach Marktkapitalisierung, XRP, steht. Im Oktober 2019 investierten die großen US-Krypto-Börsen Coinbase und Ripple einen nicht bekannt gegebenen Betrag in Bitso, um das Unternehmen bei seiner Expansion nach Argentinien und Brasilien zu unterstützen.
