Following the recent market appreciation of Bitcoin, Ethereum has experienced a rebound in value surpassing USD 500.

There is one word that describes the movements of cryptocurrency right now: bullish. Ethereum has experienced a 22.24% gain in just the past 24 hours, moving from USD 450 to USD 500 in quick succession. This means that Ethereum has currently gained 3.42% over Bitcoin.

The current 24-hour trading volume stands at USD 2.843 bn, clearly showing there is still an ardent demand for the currency. When examining Bitfinex, the top exchange platform right now, two fiat currencies hold the top trading spots, indicating new capital entering the market. This will potentially benefit the value of cryptocurrencies further.

Ethereum’s journey to recovery

While the value of Ethereum in late 2017 remained around USD 1,300, this year has already seen the value fall below USD 400.

One of the most significant reasons behind the decline in value can be attributed to Ethereum ASIC miners, set to reach the market by this July. The mining chips destabilized the market through the threat of significantly increasing the efficiency of mining the currency. Priced at USD 800 per unit, the technology threatens to centralize hash power to the producers of the miners, Bitmain.

Some have also speculated that the tax season played a significant role in the downtrend, adding to the bearish momentum it has suffered in the past few months.

It is likely as well that profit-taking from this recent price rebound will kick in fairly soon, as many are still wary of the stability of its value, particularly in light of the ASIC miners.

Often when currencies see a quick escalation in price such as this, it takes a short period for the market to correct itself in portraying the accurate value.

For now, though, it appears the value of Ethereum is seeing a generally positive trend, even if returning to its previous high is still far from reach. This could well be an indication of more positive movements in the market over the weekend.

Encouraging the progress of blockchain technology, one of the prominent cryptocurrency news outlets, Bitcoinist has announced the date for its upcoming Blockchaineum 2.0 conference. The conference, targeting Central Europe and rest of the world is scheduled to happen on May 23, 2018, in Budapest, Hungary.

European nations are leading the blockchain revolution with their cryptocurrency friendly status and the emergence of blockchain projects working to solve real-world problems.

Bitcoin markets are experiencing a major increase in activity. Large sell orders are pumping prices while markets continue trading on a bullish market sentiment.

The day’s signals

  1. A major upward spike was caused by large buy orders placed on exchanges simultaneously.
  2. The driving force of the price rise appears to be succeeding in improving the market’s sentiment. It’s so far led markets to support the rise far after it caused a notable upward spike.
  3. The surprising price rise of BTC/USD by around 10% in the last 24 hours comes just a few hours following a low of USD 6,700 levels.

BITCOIN gdax-btcusd-Apr-13-2018-23-36-15

GDAX BTC/USD charts are indicative of how large buy orders changed the game in Bitcoin markets rapidly. There’s a noticeable upward spike caused by just a handful of sizeable buy orders. This led markets to an overturn in terms of the declining market sentiment. Traders might have been expecting such an event to finally showcase some positivity.

BITCOIN okcoin-btcusd-weekly-futures-Apr-13-2018-23-36-57OKCoin BTC/USD weekly futures markets appear to be mirroring the price rise that live markets experience with great accuracy. That’s while there used to be a divide between the two even moments before the price spike. It appears as though futures traders are also taking in the bullish overturn with positivity.

It still remains to be seen if the newly-reached price levels will be sustained. There might be no question that Bitcoin traders riding on the price rise will be faced with at least some selling pressure, though. That’s due to the fact that Bitcoin prices were trading at USD 6,700 price levels through the trading session preceding the price spike. Some resistance appears to have been formulated at USD 8,200 levels. That’s due to the price rise following the spike that seems to have been halted at that level recently.

In conclusion, the rise in Bitcoin’s price might come after an unexpected price spike, but the market seems to be taking it well. The following hours and days will be crucial to assess the impact this positive overturn will have on markets in a longer term. If a major crash is averted, it wouldn’t be unlikely to see traders going after higher levels.

OKex to Open Office in Malta, the Blockchain Island

Malta has made the headlines quite often for its crypto-friendly environment which has made it a blockchain hub in Europe. OKex, one of the largest exchanges in the world, with a daily transaction volume of over $1 billion, is the latest crypto company to open offices in the small island nation that has come to be fondly referred to as “the blockchain island”. In a statement, the Chinese exchange says it is confident in the Maltese government’s approach and wants to make Malta its foundation for further growth.

Malta has made the headlines quite often for its crypto-friendly environment which has made it a blockchain hub in Europe. OKex, one of the largest exchanges in the world, with a daily transaction volume of over $1 billion, is the latest crypto company to open offices in the small island nation that has come to be fondly referred to as “the blockchain island”. In a statement, the Chinese exchange says it is confident in the Maltese government’s approach and wants to make Malta its foundation for further growth.

Shared Values Attracted OKex

The Maltese government shares the same values as OKex, and this was one of the things that attracted the exchange to the island, according to OKex’s CEO, Chris Lee.

We look forward to working with the Malta government as it is forward thinking and shares many of our same values: the most important of which are protection of traders and the general public, compliance with Anti Money Laundering and Know Your Customer standards, and recognition of the innovation and importance of continued development in the Blockchain ecosystem.

OKex’s Chief Risk Officer and Head of Government Relations, Tim Byun, recognizes the need for the government and the blockchain community to work together to promote the growth of the industry, which is still in its formative years.

Malta’s Virtual Financial Asset Act is a solid foundation for the industry and the government to work together in fostering the nascent blockchain/digital asset industry. More specifically, Malta’s sound risk-based approach will help cultivate a responsible, compliant, and healthy ecosystem.

OKex also promises to be actively involved in the blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem in Malta, which will entail participating in the DLT Data Conference which will be held in October and which is sponsored by the Maltese government.

The Maltese Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat, welcomed OKex into the Maltese blockchain community via Twitter.

“Malta is fast becoming the jurisdiction of choice for Distributed Ledger Technology companies in the European Union and globally,” read his tweet.

Malta Keeps Winning

OKex is just the latest in a group of blockchain and crypto companies that are finding a safe and welcoming haven in Malta. Earlier this year, Binance, another leading global exchange which was also founded in China, announced that it would be opening offices in Malta to take advantage of the enabling environment and also in light of strict regulations in China.

Led by the futuristic Joseph Muscat, the Maltese government has continuously formulated laws that create a conducive environment for the blockchain community. One of its initiatives was the Malta Digital Innovation Authority, which will work to bring certainty in regards to the blockchain and cryptocurrency community in the country.

Malta is also one of the 22 European nations that were signatories to a declaration aiming to establish a European Blockchain Partnership. The partnership will, among other things, foster cooperation among member states to exchange blockchain-related information and experience, as well as to prepare for the EU Digital Single Market, which will benefit both the private and public sectors.

Collaboration Tools Graphite and Stealthy Create a Decentralized Duo

At a time when concerns over how big companies like Facebook, LinkedIn and Google are handling our data continue to grow, two blockchain-based apps have joined forces to offer productivity tools that give you full control over your own data.

Graphite Docs, a decentralized alternative to Google G-suite, has integrated with decentralized messaging app Stealthy, the two companies announced on April 12, 2018. What that means is users of Graphite Docs are now able to view documents and chat with friends and coworkers on a single screen.

“The integration brings a Stealthy module into your Graphite documents just like you see with the Google Hangouts module inside a Google Doc,” Graphite Docs creator Justin Hunter told Bitcoin Magazine.

How It Works

Similar to Google G-suite, Graphite Docs is a web app for documents and spreadsheets that includes an email alternative called “conversations.” You can use it to share files, make edits and collaborate. But the main difference, Hunter says, is that while Google has access to all your data, Graphite Docs never sees your data. With Graphite Docs, you still store your data on cloud servers — Dropbox, Amazon or even Google — but your data is encrypted, and your encryption keys stay on your own devices, so you maintain control of your data.

“Let’s say Google wants to look at your documents, all they are going to see is an encrypted blob and they can’t decrypt that — only you can decrypt that with the encryption keys that you have,” said Hunter.

Stealthy, a peer-to-peer communication platform with messaging, screen sharing, video chat and more, offers similar privacy features. That is because both apps are powered by Blockstack, a network for decentralized apps that works on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. Hunter likes to point out that the collaboration between Graphite Docs and Stealthy represents the first integration between two decentralized apps ever.

Blockstack

Apps on the Blockstack platform are accessed through a browser, but the apps themselves run locally on your computer, along with the Blockstack software which stores your ID information that you use to access the Blockstack apps.

“When you create an account on Graphite Docs, Blockstack creates a self-sovereign identity that is written to the Bitcoin blockchain,” said Hunter. Blockstack then uses that ID information to create a set of encryption keys for each app you use on the platform.

Blockstack gives you a choice of storing your encrypted data on your computer or Blockstack’s own servers. For its part, Graphite Docs allows you to choose what cloud services you want to store your encrypted data on; that way, in addition to having your data stored through Blockstack, it is also replicated, protecting it against any single point of failure.

Up Next:  Enterprise Tools

The consumer version of Graphite Docs, including Stealthy, is free. Looking to the future, Hunter says he is focused on building a paid enterprise version of Graphite Docs for schools, NGOs, businesses and other institutions, so they, too, can own their own data. Similarly, Stealthy is also building additional features to support widespread adoption.  

Hunter is the lone employee of Graphite Docs. So far he says, he has managed everything himself and has not received outside funding for the project. Similarly, Stealthy is being bootstrapped by its founders, Prabhaav Bhardwaj and Alex Carreira.

Africa

Welcome to our weekly roundup of all important blockchain and cryptocurrency news from around the world. Follow the latest developments in the cryptocurrency space continent by continent, country by country.

African Union

Cryptocurrencies can be Africa’s solution to payment issues: Africa is one of the most resourceful continents in the world but its constant issues with money and financial systems leave much to be desired. Double-digit inflation in some parts of the continent has weakened national currencies so much that there are always monetary issues. Digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum can be a genuine solution to Africa’s currency woes. Small loans and digital payments are needed in the country where many people are not considered “bankable” and are denied useful financial services such as bank loans.

South Africa

South Africa’s central bank to oversee cryptocurrency: The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has announced that it is moving towards overseeing of cryptocurrency and fintech startups in the country. SARB said that it is taking measures to add investors and eliminating risk on the platform.

The bank has constituted an investigative unit that is promoting growth and innovation while at the same time proposing useful regulations to help people secure their cryptocurrencies and decentralized companies. The Self Regulatory Organization (SRO) will be a non-state regulatory body that aims at further developments in the industry and not just regulations for the sake of regulations.

“The objective of the bank is to gain a practical understanding of DLTs (distributed ledger technologies) through the development of a PoC in collaboration with banking industry… to replicate interbank clearing and settlement on a DLT which will allow the SARB and industry to jointly assess the potential benefits and risks of DLTs”, it said.

Taxpayers told to declare capital gains or losses on cryptocurrencies: South African Revenue Service has called on taxpayers to declare earnings in cryptocurrencies because they are liable for capital gains taxes. The agency said that the onus is entirely on them to declare these gains as part of their taxable income. Crypto-related losses or gains can occur through mining and trading, which is worrisome for the former because Bitcoin’s profitability has already taken a hit in recent times.

South African campuses embrace cryptocurrencies: Despite the recent Bitcoin price slump, campuses in South Africa are welcoming cryptocurrency investments and technology. In response to surging demand, Vega, an independent education institute has introduced a comprehensive cryptocurrency short course at the tertiary level in South Africa.

The move by Vega follows an international trend in universities where cryptocurrency and blockchain courses are oversubscribed at universities including Berkeley, Cornell and MIT.

Shevon Lurie, managing director at Vega said, “The course will run over three weeks with two highly engaging sessions per week at Vega’s Johannesburg campus only, covering everything from the history of some of the world’s leading cryptocurrencies to buying, trading and using Bitcoin.”

Nigeria

Nigeria urged to stop crackdown on cryptocurrencies: The biggest African economy is in the midst of a crackdown on cryptocurrencies across the spectrum. The Central Bank of Nigeria has warned that cryptocurrency traders and investors are not protected by the law in the country and not regulated by the government either. Futurist Thomas Fry has urged the Nigerian government to soften its stance because digital currencies are more “efficient” and transparent.

Nigerian central bank claims no country will submit its legal tender to cryptocurrencies: The Nigerian government and central bank have said that no country in the world is going to issue legal tender to cryptocurrencies. Strangely, the move comes after the Nigerian Central Bank inaugurated the Association of Financial Services Innovators (FSI), a regulatory sandbox that will be used to test and deploy financial technologies in the country.

South Koreans Ask Government for Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Regulation-Free City

Residents and citizens of South Korea have formally requested the country’s government and the executive office of President Moon Jae-in, better known as the Blue House, to provide a cryptocurrency and blockchain regulation-free city within the country. For many years, the South Korean government has utilized a petition system to communicate with its citizens and potentially impose new regulations or make changes to existing policies based on their requests. Last year, local citizens filed a petition to the Blue House to revoke the announcement of Justice Minister Park banning cryptocurrency trading. The very next day, after more than 130,000 citizens had

Residents and citizens of South Korea have formally requested the country’s government and the executive office of President Moon Jae-in, better known as the Blue House, to provide a cryptocurrency and blockchain regulation-free city within the country.

For many years, the South Korean government has utilized a petition system to communicate with its citizens and potentially impose new regulations or make changes to existing policies based on their requests. Last year, local citizens filed a petition to the Blue House to revoke the announcement of Justice Minister Park banning cryptocurrency trading.

The very next day, after more than 130,000 citizens had signed an official petition submitted to the Blue House, Minister Park’s proposal was revoked and the government offered a public apology.

South Koreans utilize the petition system, which can be accessed on the official website of the Blue House, to publicly communicate with the government on a variety of topics. This year, various petitions were taken into consideration by the government, including a petition requesting stricter punishment for rapists and a penalty for two South Korean Olympic skaters who failed to show professionalism on the world stage by purposely sabotaging their teammates.

This week, the people of South Korea have formally asked the government to shift from being a fast follower or an early adopter, to being a first mover in embracing innovative technologies and emerging solutions such as blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

The new petition, which expires on May 9 and already has 3,500 signatures, asks the Moon administration to eliminate policies that prevent companies in industries like blockchain, cryptocurrency, Internet of Things, IT, fintech, and AI from making technological advancements. The petition notes that a high-ranking official at Samsung, the largest conglomerate in South Korea, has stated Samsung was able to evolve into a global leader in manufacturing because local authorities were not aware that its industry existed a few decades ago.

The Samsung executive added that it is no longer possible for a dominant company like Samsung to exist in other markets like finance because of the government’s strict and impractical regulations.

The petition emphasizes that Switzerland has evolved into an international hub for cryptocurrency businesses, initial coin offerings (ICOs), and major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and EOS. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has permitted private ICOs such as the Telegram ICO to be conducted if they are compliant with existing regulations, and the country has attracted many of the leading talents in the blockchain sector.

However, South Korea has not been able to take advantage of its blockchain sector and other emerging industries within the technology sector, in spite of the exponential increase in demand for cryptocurrency and blockchain technology from local users and investors.

To ensure that South Korea’s blockchain industry and cryptocurrency sector can grow without governmental interference and impractical regulation, the petition asks the government to:

  1. Re-evaluate blockchain and cryptocurrency regulations
  2. Create a region or area within South Korea wherein cryptocurrency startups and businesses can operate freely, without restrictive regulations and policies.

South America

Welcome to our weekly roundup of all important blockchain and cryptocurrency news from around the world. Follow the latest developments in the cryptocurrency space continent by continent, country by country.

Chile

Chile undergoing trials for Ethereum-based pilot to store energy data: Chile’s national energy commission Comisión Nacional de Energía de Chile (CNE) has announced a new project that will utilize the Ethereum blockchain to store the energy sector data.

In a press release issued on 6 April, the CNE detailed the benefits of using a decentralized system as opposed to a centralized “easy to manipulate” standard security database. The Ethereum blockchain’s revolutionary capability to be programmed by any entity lends power to the initiative.

CNE’s latest move will allow the public to see the data through several graphical user interfaces. Chile’s minister for energy Susana Jimenez noted the crucial nature of the public disclosure of critical energy data. It will allow the public to access the readily available information and increase confidence in the government’s working.

Argentina

Argentina hosts Bitcoin Day: Argentine capital Buenos Aires was home to the Bitcoin Day conference which welcomed more than 500 crypto enthusiasts. Bitcoin is being greeted with open arms in the South American nation that has suffered from hyperinflation and other economic issues in the recent past.

In 2017 alone, the volume of Bitcoin traded in the nation was close to 2.1 million Argentine Peso (ARS), four times the amount traded last year.

In the conference, Carlos Maslaton, head of treasury at wallet provider Xapo, said that he was satisfied with current dialogue in the country with the financial institutions and there was generous competition in the markets.

Venezuela

Petro faces allegations of falsifying records: Venezuela’s controversial cryptocurrency Petro has taken another hit after falsification was found in a discrepancy report based on its white paper. The issue was reported both by CCN and Criptomoedas Fácil. The whitepaper shows that 38.4 million tokens were to be sold, each valued at USD 60 with a 60% discount at the ICO stage. If the stage went as planned, USD 2.304 billion would have been raised. President Maduro claimed that USD 5 billion was raised in the ICO which is in a direct contradiction of this.

This supports earlier claims that the Venezuelan cryptocurrency might not be transparent and that the government might be meddling in its records. Still not much is known regarding the mechanism of the El Petro Coin which is supposed to be backed by oil.

Brazil

Brazil university launches Bitcoin masters program: Sao Paulo-based University Fundacao Getulio Vargas has announced that it will be offering a masters degree in cryptofinance to prepare students for the future of digital currencies. The program is a reflection of Brazil’s forward-thinking approach in the decentralized sector. The University of Sao Paulo is also embracing new technologies including blockchain and cryptocurrencies in its derivatives course.
