2023-10-21 10:17:16 Bitcoin price could rise to $56,000 if BlackRock ETF approved: Matrixport

The price of bitcoin could rise to between $42,000 and $56,000 if BlackRock's spot bitcoin ETF is approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to digital assets financial services platform Matrixport. Utilizing its analysis of 15,000 U.S. registered investment advisors, Matrixport projected some $12 billion to $24 billion worth of inflows could come into such an ETF. RIAs oversee around $5 trillion, according to Matrixport, arguing a modest 1% allocation recommendation.

RIAs oversee around $5 trillion, according to Matrixport, arguing a modest 1% allocation recommendation from the group could produce the up to $50 billion of inflows. “Drawing a parallel with precious metals ETFs, estimated at approximately $120 billion in market cap, and assuming that between 10-20% of precious metal ETF investors look at a bitcoin ETF to diversify their monetary debasement and inflation hedges, we could witness a sizeable $12-24 billion worth of inflows into the bitcoin ETF,” it said. A wild trading day on Monday saw bitcoin's price spike 5% to almost $30,000 after a false report regarding approval of BlackRock's spot ETF circulated on social media before being debunked.Earlier this month, former BlackRock executive Martin Bednall said the SEC.

2023-10-18 01:19:20 Robinhood Agrees $600 Million Buyback of Seized Sam Bankman-Fried HOOD Stake From US Marshal Service

On August 30, Robinhood entered into a $605.7 million (HOOD) share buyback agreement with the US Marshal Service (USMS) to reclaim shares formerly held by Same Bankman-Fried (SBF) through Emergent Fidelity Technologies.

At the beginning of this year, the US government took possession of the 55 million HOOD shares owned by Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang, co-founders of FTX, through their holding company, Emergent Fidelity Technologies, after Bankman-Fried's cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, and Emergent filed for bankruptcy protection in 2022.

Last November, just six months before Bankman-Fried's company filed for bankruptcy, he disclosed a 7.6% stake in Robinhood.

However, he clarified that he had no intention of taking control of the retail trading platform. At that time, he expressed excitement about Robinhood's business prospects and potential collaboration opportunities with FTX.

According to a US Securities and Exchange Commission Filing dated August 30, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York approved the share repurchase agreement on August 28. Open / Comment

2023-10-15 17:51:48 ​Buterin’s Ideas For DeFi Will Disrupt Centralized Finance

Founder of Ethereum (ETH), Vitalik Buterin, published key takeaways about crypto payments from his personal experience in a blog titled, “Some personal user experiences.” The article found on Buterin’s website provided some valuable insights for developers and users alike to improve user experience and reliability of decentralized finance (DeFi).

Quoting his anecdotes from over a span of a decade, Buterin analyzes the challenges he faced in the cryptocurrency payment space and the probable solutions he finds to it. He begins by pointing out that “[the] Internet is not 100% reliable,” a problem he encountered while trying to pay a merchant with his mobile internet.

Eventually, Buterin had to complete the transaction over WiFi that was available 50 meters away. As a solution, he suggests, “We need in-person payment systems to have some functionality [such as] NFC or a QR code.” He believes that this is the best way to get a transaction broadcasted and will allow customers to transfer data directly to the merchant.

Next, Buterin explains that simple-and-robust UIs (user interfaces) are better than fancy-and-sleek ones. This observation comes from the difficulty he faced with default transactions, gas limits, and phone wallet glitches while paying a merchant. He suggests, “We need to have better defaults.” Open / Comment

The minimum bridge amount is reportedly 0.0035 ETH (around $5). Some dapps have also begun integrating with the Scroll mainnet, including ScrollSwap — the first decentralized exchange on Scroll — and the omnichain solution Merkly, enabling users to play around with the new network further. DefiLlama is already tracking ScrollSwap and three other DEXs on the Scroll zkEVM and is reporting a total value locked on Scroll applications of more than $150,000 so far. Open / Comment
