ViralCoin Launches With “Ground-Breaking” Features On Several Networks

Image
ViralCoin has finally launched its DeFi token on several networks. The team says the token has several groundbreaking features that have never been seen before in fair launches. They describe the launch as a “Fair Balanced Launch” as it keeps the token price consistent while minting new tokens until the maximum total supply is attained on all networks.   This was made possible through the creation of the ViralVault, a system that rebalances the Liquidity Pool each time ViralCoin is minted. This keeps the maximum price relatively stable until all ViralCoins have been minted. ViralCoin is also pre-allocating ZERO tokens to its founders, early adopters, or developers, a feature never seen in the tokenomics of any project.

November In Focus; PlanB’s $98K BTC Prediction Fails, Ethereum Supply Drops, Litecoin Demand Heightens

Image
The popular belief that November would be characterized by a spirited price surge by cryptocurrencies because “it always does” is no doubt proving to be a mirage even as crypto assets recoil in what seemingly appears to be temporary bullish exhaustion. Whereas there is still a window of opportunity between now and year-end, pundits are increasingly shelving their expectations for Bitcoin hitting $100,000 before December 31. Last week, PlanB accepted that his prediction of Bitcoin hitting 98,000 by end of November based on his S2F model had failed for the first time. “Floor model $98K Nov close will probably be a first miss (after nailing Aug, Sep, Oct)” he said. Onchain Metrics Reveal Bullish Activity Despite undesired outcomes, on-chain metrics still support a bullish market across cryptocurrencies according to a recent report by Kraken Exchange. According to the report, the amount of Bitcoin and Ethereum supply on centralized exchanges has continued to drop with the assets’...

“About Time For Cardano To Start Taking Off Again” – Analyst Reveals Key ADA Factors To Watch Out For

Image
Although the price of Cardano has been on a downward trend, activity on the protocol network has increased substantially. Popular crypto influencer Lark Davis claims the price of ADA is about to take off with the upcoming DeFi projects. At the moment, Cardano powers over 4000 smart contracts on its platform. When Cardano ushered in the era of smart contracts on its platform with the successful launch of the Alonzo Mainnet, ADA rallied to a record price to become the 4th largest cryptocurrency by market cap – with a market value of about $75 billion. Alonzo also saw ADA hit $3 for the first time since its inception, surpassing Binance Coin (BNB) to become the third-largest digital asset by market value. However, the coin has been unable to sustain this uptrend, witnessing a small correction. For the past few weeks, Cardano (ADA) has been forming lower lows from a close of $2 in October to the current low of $1.43. At press time, Cardano (ADA) is changing hands at $1.59, up 1.5...

Image
Despite Bitcoin being accosted by a long list of headwinds that threaten to delay its ascent towards a new all-time high, Anthony Pompliano has once again restated his early prediction for the cryptocurrency reaching $100,000 before year-end. Speaking to CNBC on Monday, Pompliano, who has on several occasions stated that he has no plans of selling Bitcoin said that he was unwavering at the recent price pullback, affirming that it was normal. “I think really what people need to understand here is that just in 2021, there has already been six drawdowns over 20%,” he said, “It’s obviously a volatile asset compared to legacy assets… it’s part of the course if you will”. Bitcoin’s Ascent To $100,000 Is Nigh The pundit went on to discredit assertions that Bitcoin was poised to crumble noting that the continued adoption by various institutions would act as a catalyst to price hitting $100,000. “You have a finite asset the world is still waking up to, ” he continued. BTCUSD Chart by...

Bitcoin Appears To Be Still Priced At A Discount As Mammoth Whale Acquires Nearly 1000 BTC

Image
The third-largest Bitcoin whale is still in an accumulation spree, recently adding nearly 1000 BTC to its wallet as price came tumbling from $59,250 to $54,000 in just two days. It comes after BTC options expired on Friday and sparked a huge panic selling . Crypto whales are good at proving the long-term tried and tested investment strategy – that wealth too often moves from impatient to patient hands. Thus, the accumulation trend by whales has been dominant since April. Such accumulation debunks the myth that Bitcoin is in a long-term slide and strengthens the notion that it is just a matter of time before the crypto starts to shoot up again. “Note, while it’s possible this is a cold wallet for exchanges like Robinhood, transaction volume and pattern doesn’t seem to support this, very inconsistent from other cold wallets. For one, many strategic buy the dip and sell the rally behaviors and clear long term accumulation trend,”  a Cryptoquant commented on the matter. A close lo...

Image
US regulators have released a blueprint to guide the conduct of cryptocurrency market participants in 2022. The guidelines place a focus on banks as they look to provide cryptocurrency offerings to their clients. Regulators had previously made recommendations to Congress for regulations of stablecoins in October. Gary Gensler once referred to cryptocurrencies as the “Wild Wild West” and said that he will try to suppress the ecosystem. It seems the task is a herculean one and will require synergy between financial regulators. The Sprint List US financial regulators have released an inter-agency policy memo that spells out the blueprint for further regulation in the cryptosphere. The to-do list popularly referred to as the “crypto sprint” is a concerted effort of the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The joint statement reduces its scope to banks and other financial institutions with a focus on crypto-...

Vitalik Buterin Proposes Fix For Ethereum’s Sky-High Gas Fees

Image
Ethereum’s founder has made a proposition to introduce a limit on the call data gas cost on the network. This will have the overall effect of reducing the cost of transactions but some stakeholders have poked holes in the proposition. Ethereum’s gas fee dilemma continues to plague users as other layer 1 blockchains close in. Vitalik Buterin wants to limit gas costs with an ingenious proposition but analysts think the decision will have “greater implications” on the network. An alternative to Buterin’s idea has been proposed. Decreasing Transaction Call Data Gas Costs. Vitalik Buterin took to the Ethereum Magicians forum to suggest a way to reduce the gas costs associated with transaction call data on the network. His post noted the significant challenges posed by soaring gas costs, including the length of time it takes to deploy data sharding. These problems, according to Buterin, make a short-term solution imperative to “cut costs for rollups.” He proposes the solution of a...
