Terra [LUNA] Hits Roadblock as Market Caps Crash; Investors Look to Long Term Investments

by

The past week saw multiple changes in the cryptocurrency industry as prices fluctuated across the board. Even though Bitcoin moved past the $57,000 mark, altcoins failed to surmount a similar bullish charge. One of the altcoins suffering under the bear’s brunt was Terra [LUNA] after a good run of days that elevated it near the top 10 club.

At press time, Terra was trading for $36.4 with a total market cap of $14.54 billion. While the start of the month boosted the cryptocurrency’s performance on the charts, it still was not enough to sustain monthly gains. The daily trading volume fell to $1.18 billion even as user interest surged.

Entering the top 10 club has been an aim for the cryptocurrency even as developments take place on the network. Year to date, Terra has grown by 6922 percent after strong rallies in the second quarter. Terra’s rally could be attributed to its Columbus-5 network upgrade going last week.

The Columbus upgrade was seen as a marker by its ecosystem because of its connection to the stablecoin development. According to sources, the upgrade would better enable the TerraUSD ratio with the United States dollar. Some analysts have called Columbus a “huge and influential update” with the power to set the tone for the future.

A look at the investor sentiment further added to Terra’s lore. Despite the latest crash, the capital continued to enter the Terra market. The 4-digit growth in 2021 was a sign that the market was looking for more function and less flash. The Columbus upgrade’s ability to regulate the Luna supply is expected to be an important step in achieving that.

The World’s first community-driven NFT, manga & anime series on the Cardano Blockchain – ADA Ninjaz

by

The ADA Ninjaz NFT is a collection of randomly generated 2D avatars. The designs are inspired by the popular Seinen anime art style, combining attributes from traditional ninja lore with modern-day clothing assets. The lore will be focused around a raging war between 3 individual clans (more details to come), each with their own unique identity and reason for fighting for their clan’s survival.

On top of collectible NFTs, ADA Ninjaz will be the world’s first community-driven manga series. Owners of ADA Ninjaz NFTs will be given voting power to decide the ultimate fate of each clan. Founded by two friends whose goal is to develop one of the strongest anime communities within the NFT space. We want to show the world how incredibly fun, intelligent, and powerful the anime community is and that all of us can do anything when united as one.

This is a tribute to the digital age, ADA Ninjaz is taking the themes of manga and anime that billions of people grew up in love with, integrating it with blockchain technology, and opening up a world of opportunities within the metaverse, both for developers and the future community.

VISION

Imagine a world where like-minded Ninjaz come together to engage, play, and just have good old fashion fun. Maybe it’s in the physical realm, with clan meetups to discuss the latest news on all things ADA Ninjaz and anime. Perhaps it’s in the virtual realm, where you can log in as your purchased NFT and fight in a battle royale-style tournament, or even attend a virtual music festival.

What if, instead of watching your favorite 2D anime on a computer monitor, you get to watch it in 3Dand from the point of view of your favorite character? This is the future and vision of the ADA Ninjaz ecosystem. We aren’t just bringing manga into the NFT-universe. We are striving for something so much more while respecting and appreciating the beauty of the NFT world and community. The ADA Ninjaz team aims to see Ninjaz merchandise worn by groups of friends around the streets.

For it to be represented at comic-cons and people to cosplay as their favorite ADA Ninjaz. And of course, to have developed multiple successful indie platformer games enjoyed by millions of gamers. These ambitions are big, but with you — the investors and supporters, the incredible people already associated with ADA Ninjaz, and of course, the wider NFT community, this is possible.

Sneak Peek 8
The World’s first community-driven NFT, manga & anime series on the Cardano Blockchain – ADA Ninjaz 3

WHY CARDANO?

Firstly, the whole of ADA Ninjaz thanks the team over at Ethereum who have been able to deliver an incredible smart contract platform for NFTs to thrive. Without such adoption, the ADA Ninjaz concept may not have had reason to exist.

That being said, it is well understood that the biggest constraint, by far, on the current Ethereum network is the network congestion and consequently high gas (transaction) fees. There are so many issues that come with this, from gas wars through to lost money from failed transactions.

For example, a recent NFT sale cost users $790,000 in failed Ethereum transactions. That alone is enough in transaction fees to purchase an entirely new set of NFTs!

But the biggest problem that we see too often is that smaller buyers (<$500 to invest in NFTs) are immediately priced out of most, if not all big NFT launches. Say you only have $200 to spend on NFTs this month, then paying the same, if not more, in gas fees to buy an NFT, isn’t plausible.

Ethereum is therefore currently a play area for the big boys with big money. That is unfortunately not fair for the smaller investors, the ones who want to grow their understanding of this space, grow their NFT collection, and more often than not, feel a part of a virtual community.

This is why we’ve decided to launch our NFT collectibles on the Cardano blockchain — so that the smaller players have a chance at owning their very own NFT and also be part of this amazing community.

Additionally, the ADA Ninjaz team believes in the Cardano ecosystem. It is okay that the Cardano ecosystem is still young, with smart contracts not yet really mature. We are young too. The beauty of a growing blockchain protocol is that we get ample time to also work on developing our product range and offering. The ADA Ninjaz Team is in this for the long haul.

CORE PARTNERS

NFT-Maker Pro will lead the development of the backend solution and help us launch our project on the Cardano blockchain. Having the Godfather of Cardano NFTs himself, Patrick Tobler and the team at NFT-Maker Pro, rest assured things will be as smooth as they can be on the backend front, as he is second-to-none when it comes to all backend solutions on Cardano.

Le4f Agency will lead the development of the front-end solution. Led by CEO, Kristian Portz, they will create a classic and timeless website for us to share the vision and story that is the ADA Ninjaz universe. With a superb team that is highly experienced in creating a user interface that is engaging, accessible, and most importantly in sync with the Cardano backend, this partnership will enable ADA Ninjaz to really take its front-end to the next level.

Ignacio J. Durruty – master storyteller. A sublime wordsmith, Ignacio possesses significant prowess when it comes to creating stories in fictional universes and screenwriting. His works have received a long list of accolades, particularly in the cinematic space, including, but not limited to:

LaLiga opens its doors to NFTs as top clubs join Sorare

by

The line between technology and mainstream occurrences seems to be blurring with the advent of new updates and developments. 2020 saw the rise of NFTs and the unsatiated appetites of collectors who paid millions of dollars to acquire them. According to new reports, NFTs have now added another feather to their cap by being introduced into the Spanish footballing world.

The company’s announcement touched on the importance of adopting new-age technologies while allowing fans to become closer to their team. Another major highlight of the partnership would be the added revenue streams for the clubs and LaLiga itself.

With the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Athletico Madrid joining its roster, Sorare further plans to expand into more football leagues. Speaking about the partnership, LaLiga president Javier Tebas said:

“At LaLiga we are always looking for innovative ways to offer our fans new and exciting experiences and to broaden the appeal of our competition, the greatest in the world. This partnership with Sorare, the most exciting sports NFT projects today, enables us to reach new audiences globally and gives existing fans additional ways they can get involved with the players and the clubs they love.”

Inside sources revealed that the platform aimed to become a major partner with all of the world’s top football leagues. Sorare claimed that the massive interest in the ecosystem coupled with a strong capital flow has enabled the ecosystem to thrive.

NFT’s growing dominance also increased the use cases of blockchain technology. The latest partnership meant that Sorare had the world’s top clubs (including the likes of Bayern, PSG and Juventus) as part of their clientele.

Binance Ramps Up Developments with Tax Tool Launch; New Withdrawal Limits in Place

by

Binance has been present in the news multiple times recently, be it related to regulatory scrutiny or new developments from the company. The Changpeng Zhao founded exchange assured its users that the steps taken by the company will only benefit all its users in the long run. On Tuesday, Binance announced that they would be cutting withdrawal limits while launching a new tax reporting system simultaneously.

Binance claimed that strengthening the Know-Your-Customer checks would be an efficient step in improving transactional security. Those users who do not comply with the new KYC policies will also have their trade limits cut short by a large percentage. The latest release from the crypto exchange said:

“Daily withdrawal limits will be adjusted to 0.06 BTC for accounts that have completed only Basic Account Verification. This change is effective immediately for new account registrations and will be made effective for existing users in phases starting from 2021-08-04 00:00 AM (UTC) and completed by 2021-08-23 00:00 AM (UTC).”

The exchange added that users who complete the latest KYC conditions will be eligible for withdrawals of upto 100 BTC a day. According to the exchange, the withdrawal limits will refresh daily at midnight. The move is expected to remove bad actors from trading, thereby bettering Binance’s standing in the cryptocurrency world.

Binance’s Regulatory Hurdles

The exchange had come under fire recently when the CFTC and regulatory bodies in the US accused Binance of fraud. Since then, the officials of the Seychelles-based platform have reiterated that the company focuses on privacy and security as top priorities. The launch of the new API-based reporting system was a step in this direction.

Binance’s tax tool would enable users to track personal transactions and even transfer history to other vendors. The move is an addition to the company’s risk management protocol, which also includes features that let users obtain information about cryptocurrency transaction liabilities.

CZ Confirms Binance US Will Go Ahead With IPO Despite Increased Scrutiny

by

Ever since its creation, the cryptocurrency market has been the subject of routine regulatory interventions. The latest story surrounds Binance’s United States wing, Binance US, and its decision to move ahead with an IPO despite crackdowns from the financial sphere. Binance chief executive Changpeng Zhao said on Friday that the company’s move was built on the back of intense discussions and reworks.

CZ, as the CEO is more commonly called, made his comments at the virtual REDeFINE Tomorrow 20201 virtual meet on July 23. He did not shy away from answering questions about Binance’s situation with US regulators regarding alleged illegal trading activities on the platform. Binance and all of its affiliates will be ready to face any regulator in the future as well, said CZ. In his words:


“Binance US is looking at the IPO route. Most regulators are familiar with a certain pattern or having headquarters, having corporate structure. But we are setting up those structures to make it easier for an IPO to happen. We are now in the mindset of shifting from a tech startup to a financial service.”

The trading platform has come under fire earlier for not complying with frameworks set by lawmakers in the States. Even CZ admitted that the company had a need to localize compliance communications to make regulatory processes faster and more transparent. Binance US has hired former US Comptroller Brian Brooks as its CEO and to chart out new paths in terms of regulations and systematic ecosystem creation. 

The creation of an IPO would allow outside investors to enter the cryptocurrency market in a traditional manner. Regulators have insisted that they want to ensure proper measures are taken before a cryptocurrency company enters the mainstream space and pockets. The United States CFTC has also played a key role in keeping the tabs on Binance and reports about the company’s dealings with US customers.

by

When it comes to crypto trading, choosing the right trading platform is just as profound as discovering a successful trading strategy. However, with so many trading platforms available on the market, deciding which platform to choose can seem like a nightmare. This article will compare two trading platforms, namely Bityard and eToro. The platforms will be compared on the basis of the most important metrics that users use to decide on which platform to use.

bityard v etoro 1

It has a global reach, servicing over 17 million users in 140 countries. It is a multi-national licensed company, with licenses in countries such as Israel, UK, USA, Australia, among others.

It is headquartered in Singapore, and has multi-national licenses from Estonia, Singapore, USA and Australia.

Bityard web interface

Comparing Bityard and eToro in 2021 12
  1. Layout and user interface

The Bityard website is easy to navigate, staying true to Bityard’s mantra of designing a platform that simplifies complex trading. Which makes it user-friendly, regardless of the experience level of the trader. Traders have the option of trading via the website or the app version available for both Android and iOS. The website and the app provides similar features. There are many similarities between the eToro and Bityard platforms.

However, the Bityard website has more charts, technical analysis tools and a customizable viewing panel. Similarly, the Bityard app is easier to navigate as most features are easier to find. The eToro platform is loaded with more features such as newsfeeds and market research, which are harder to find for a newbie. A little tutorial might be necessary for a new user to find their way around the eToro platform.

2. Opening an account

Both EToro and Bityard require one to be registered in order to be able to trade on the platform. It takes just a few seconds to open an account. Bityard has the option of opening an account using either an email or phone number, while eToro gives the option of email, Facebook or Google. You will receive a confirmation code that you will use to complete the registration.

Once that is done, your account is ready to use. However, there are limited functionalities for
accounts that have not verified their identity. For both platforms, users who have not completed top tier levels of KYC have limited access to the platform’s features. EToro goes further as to make some features available only to users who have made their first deposit to their account. A minimum deposit of $200 is required on eToro. Bityard offers commission on referrals. On Bityard, a user can earn up to 60% of commissions on trading fees from referrals.

  1. Trading experience
    As already mentioned, Bityard seeks to simplify trading. “Complex contracts simple trade”
    appears on the first page of their website. True to that slogan, the trading experience on Bityard is seamless. There are 33 crypto assets with 19 trading pairs, and many derivatives ranging from stock market indices to precious metals. Although Etoro has only 16 crypto assets, it has hundreds of stocks, ETFs, indices and currency pairs.

Funding a Bityard account can be done through cryptocurrency and fiat. Unfortunately, fiat deposits for Bityard are only available in certain regions at the moment (Vietnam, Indonesia, and China). There are plans to extend the service to more countries. On the other hand, eToro only accepts funding via credit/debit card.

Bityard and eToro both have a demo account which allows a user to try out real trades with fake money. Both platforms also have the CopyTrade feauture which allows users to copy the positions of more experienced users on the platform.

  1. Fees
    Bityard has lower maker/taker fees, charging 0.05% of the transaction. For withdrawing, 2
    USDT is the charge on Bityard. Etoro’s trading fees vary by asset; it ranges from 0.75% – 5%. The minimum deposit that can be done is $200, while the minimum trade amount is $25. Etoro charges trading fees through spreads, which can rise and fall depending on market conditions. The withdrawal fee on eToro is $5.
  2. Security
    Both platforms have put up measures to enhance the security features on the platform. Every new login is authenticated by 2FA. Both platforms have PIN authentication for withdrawals. Bityard stores the crypto assets in cold storage, which protects them from hackers. The Bityard websites also has full SSL encryption, making all connections secure.

Conclusion
In this article, Bityard and eToro have been compared on different aspects. In terms of size, eToro has shown to have a bigger user base and wider selection of non-crypto assets than Bityard. However, Bityard has more crypto assets to trade. Ease of registration is somewhat similar on both platforms, even though it is much easier to register on Bityard because a new user can enjoy the full features of the platform without first making a minimum deposit.

Furthermore, the layout and user interface on Bityard has shown to have more superior features, hence giving a better trading experience. The welcome bonus and higher referral rewards on Bityard also make it a more attractive platform. Bityard’s trading fees are also comparatively lower than eToro’s. When it comes to security, both platforms have demonstrated their high regard for enhanced security, which is amazing.

GazeTV launches blockchain-powered social entertainment platform that puts creators first

by

 GazeTV, a blockchain-based social entertainment platform recently announced its launch as a solution empowering content consumers to reward creators for their work. The rewards will reportedly be distributed in the form of tokenomic incentives and reward functions. The GazeTV platform was built to empower creators and audiences to interact, support, and grow while bringing each other up. To date, GazeTV has more than 180,000 minutes of content ready for the launch on March 30, 2021.

Nowadays, anyone with a camera or smartphone can curate videos and become a content creator. The main challenge that creators face today is in terms of monetization and transparent economics. Statistics showed that it takes 752 streams on Pandora and more than 1,400 views on Youtube to make just $1. Royalties and copyrights should mean artists are compensated for their work—but this is not always the case. Many entertainment platforms’ monetization policies are vague and ambiguous, leaving creators and consumers in the dark. 

GazeTV leverages blockchain fundamentals with the GAZE token created to tackle this challenge. The GAZE token lets users compensate creators based on their own preferences and tastes. The process eliminates the intermediary that determines creator compensation on traditional platforms, such as YouTube, and fosters a more transparent environment for all involved. Creators can track rewards and viewership, by earning, staking and swapping GAZE tokens, resulting in faster content-revenue distribution. GazeTV converts “users” into a global, engaged community.

The platform also offers an Automated Content Synchronization feature for creators to quickly and easily bring their content from other platforms onto their GazeTV channel. Creators can synchronize their content from Youtube, Facebook, and more than 455 million WordPress websites seamlessly. In addition, unlike existing platforms, GazeTV can also be accessed from China which opens up an entirely new market to creators and influencers.

GazeTV will be one of the few video content platforms available to Western and Chinese audiences. The roll-out of GazeTV is segmented into several phases, each phase adding exciting additional functions and features to the platform. 

Speaking about the launch, CEO Jack Cheng said:

“At GazeTV, we’re repairing everything that is broken with social entertainment platforms. The unfair reward mechanisms, for example, as well as annoying in-stream advertisements and inefficient payout processes, must be fixed. We want creators to build mutually beneficial and sustainable communities with their audiences. We are building an empowered and engaged Gazer community, using different tokenomic models than what exists elsewhere. At GazeTV, we highly treasure creator and audience engagement. This is our mission. Every second counts.”

The increase in the demand for cryptocurrencies has also elevated the number of platforms in
the industry. With an array of products available in the market, those interested in using them
are always left confused, as to which product to choose. However, choosing a hardware wallet
just got easier with SecuX’s latest range of wallets.

SecuX entered the crypto market in 2018 and has been delivering a wide range of wallets. With
a vision of keeping up and offering answers to the emerging blockchain technology, SecuX has
been giving its competitors like Ledger and Trezor a run for their money.

Getting started with SecuX wallets: Pros

SecuX currently offers three varieties of hardware wallets including V20, W20, and W10.

●Support for multiple assets

These wallets support over 1000 cryptocurrencies with the inclusion of ERC-20 tokens. Users
will be able to find support for prominent cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, XLM, and
several others.

●Vault-grade protection

Security is the most important aspect with regard to crypto wallets. SecuX offers an Infineon
SLE solid Flash CC EAL5+ Secure Element chip [SE] that aids in securing the PIN as well as
the private key of the users from any potential cyber or physical attack.

●Connectivity

With the V20 and the W20 models, users will be able to connect the device to the
laptop/desktop with a help of a USB and a mobile phone with Bluetooth. Other devices like
Tablets and iPad are also supported by the aforementioned wallets.

●Touch Screen

While there are several wallet providers in the market, SecuX stands out with its large 2.8”
touchscreen. This makes it easier for users to operate on, specifically while making
transactions.

● Compatibility

The W20, as well as V20, are compatible with prominent operating systems like Windows,
Chrome OS, MAC OS, iOS, Android, and Linux. The W10 is, however, not compatible with

Andriod and iOS.

as BIP44.
