El fondo cobrará una comisión de gestión del 0,7%

La empresa de inversión canadiense Ninepoint Partners ha sacado a bolsa un fondo fiduciario de Bitcoin en la Bolsa de Toronto tras una oferta pública inicial (OPI) de 230 millones de dólares canadienses (unos 180 millones de dólares). Se trata del mayor fondo de Profit Secret cotizado en la bolsa canadiense hasta la fecha.

Con sede en Toronto, Ninepoint Partners es uno de los mayores fondos de inversión alternativos del país, con unos 7.000 millones de dólares en activos. Actuará como fiduciario y gestor del fondo y está asociado con Gemini para la custodia de Bitcoin.

El anuncio detalla que el fondo emitió 7.318.276 unidades de clase A, 2.865.314 unidades de clase F y 7.806.901 unidades de clase S. Cada unidad tiene un precio de 10 dólares.

Alternativas a los ETF

Los fondos fiduciarios de Bitcoin se consideran una alternativa a los tan buscados fondos cotizados. Estos fondos facilitan las inversiones en la moneda digital a los inversores que no tienen conocimientos de tecnología, ya que no tienen que preocuparse por los monederos y las claves privadas.

Sin embargo, estos fondos suelen cobrar fuertes comisiones de gestión. Ninepoint detalló que cobrará una comisión de gestión anual del 0,7% sobre el valor del activo neto.

„Creemos que nuestra estructura fiduciaria de calidad institucional y la comisión de gestión más baja de todos los fondos de inversión en bitcoin que cotizan en bolsa en Canadá serán una combinación ganadora para el interés continuado de los inversores“, dijo James Fox, codirector general y socio gerente de Ninepoint. „Con esta oferta inicial, estamos sentando las bases para el éxito y el crecimiento de nuestro Grupo de Activos Digitales“.

Además de Ninepoint, otros gestores de inversiones también están cotizando fondos fiduciarios de criptomonedas en la bolsa canadiense. 3iQ, una empresa que ya gestiona un fondo de Bitcoin, cotizó un fondo fiduciario similar con Ether recaudando 75 millones de dólares el mes pasado.

En Estados Unidos, Grayscale gestiona este tipo de fondos fiduciarios con múltiples monedas digitales. Sin embargo, Ninepoint aclaró que los inversores con sede en Estados Unidos podrían no estar autorizados a invertir en su fondo.

Crypto exchange Bittrex announced on December 29th that it would remove the US markets for three of the largest privacy coins by market capitalization – and that already on January 15th, 2021. Then Monero, Zcash and Dash will no longer be tradable on the portal .

Bittrex writes that users have 30 days to withdraw their coins:

„After the markets are removed, Crypto Cash generally tries to give users up to 30 days to withdraw any delisted tokens, but in certain cases the withdrawal period can be shortened. Users should withdraw all tokens before the published withdrawal period. “

A reason for the delisting was not given. Larry Cermak, director of research at The Block, speculates that the delisting may be in response to anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

According to Bloomberg, all virtual asset service providers (VASPs) must collect information about their customers and the recipients of funds and send this data to the recipient’s service provider with each transaction. With coins that are geared towards privacy, this requirement can be difficult or even impracticable.

Because the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) recognizes cryptocurrency exchanges as VASPs, they are essentially adhered to the same standards that banks and other financial service providers have. The new standards, released on Friday June 21st, are the officialization of the FATF proposal made in early February.

The controversial rule has not been well received by the crypto industry as, as mentioned, many crypto exchanges and wallet providers are unable to collect and send the data required by the FATF.

In order not to be targeted by the authorities, the exchanges could remove the respective coins from trading as a precaution

In response to the announcement on Friday night’s Bittrex Twitter account, Monero, Zcash, and Dash prices all fell in the 7-15 percent range.

It remains to be seen how this situation will develop. Will there be a death spiral for privacy coins because exchanges expect the legislature to crack down?

2020 was a year of crisis in many ways – just not for large parts of the crypto sector, especially Bitcoin. The signs were also pointing to growth for the Bitcoin Up asset XRP. Then the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against the Californian FinTech. A look back at the eventful year for XRP – of cooperations, innovations and regulatory thumbscrews.

The rumor mill was already boiling at full speed at the beginning of the year: At the world economic summit in Davos, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse speculated about an increasing number of initial public offerings (IPO) by crypto companies. Garlinghouse made no secret of the fact that the Californian FinTech would like to enter the trading floor itself . Some were already expecting the Ripple IPO for 2020. Wishful thinking, as it turned out.

Egypt’s largest bank joins RippleNet

Contrary to what its name suggests, the National Bank of Egypt is not a central bank, but it is the largest private bank in the country. So it’s no wonder that the XRP rate reacted positively in February to the news that the bank has joined the RippleNet payment network. The National Bank of Egypt hopes the cooperation will bring efficiency benefits for cross-border transfers and the opening up of new markets. As with most Ripple collaborations, XRP does not play a direct role in the endeavor. Nevertheless, as a result of the news, the price rose by over 11 percent and reached a preliminary annual high of 0.31 US dollars .

Black Thursday also makes XRP see red

While the year had started very promisingly for the Ripple Coin, XRP could not escape the Corona Crash on March 12th. Panic selling pushed the price below $ 0.14. The euphoria that arose in February was gone for the time being – and the hard-won 30-cent mark had moved a long way off. It shouldn’t be the only emotional and technical rollercoaster ride for the asset and its holder.

Siam Commercial Bank joins RippleNet

In April , Ripple announced another partner for its RippleNet with the Thai Siam Commercial Bank. Again, it is about the processing of transfers that come from Thai people working abroad. Thailand is one of the countries in which such payment flows make up a not inconsiderable proportion of the gross domestic product. It was not until August 2020 that the amount of money that flowed into the Southeast Asian country in this way reached a record high of over 46 billion euros (17 170 billion THB). The cooperation between Ripple, SBC and the crypto start-up Azimo should enable these transfers to be carried out much faster than via classic clearing systems.

Ripple is suing Youtube

Attempts at fraud are simply part of everyday life in the crypto space. This not only affects investors who were misled by phishing attempts, for example, but also the projects themselves. At the end of April, things got too colorful for Ripple: The company sued the video portal Youtube . The accusation: The platform is doing too little to prevent scam attempts. In advance, Ripple had to distance itself from so-called giveaway scams several times.

Class action lawsuit against Ripple

At the beginning of May, however, Ripple was also on the other side of the dock . An organization called Bitcoin Manipulation Abatement LLC accused Ripple, among other things, of using XRP to bring an unregistered security to the people of investors. The proceedings are still ongoing. So far, Ripple has only been able to successfully defend a few charges – violations of the California Business and Professions Code. That comes from a verdictfrom October 2nd. The charge of illegitimate sale of securities still stands.

Of course, as the court ruled in its previous injunction, Plaintiff may also bring his remaining first, second, third, and fifth pleas against Defendants for allegedly selling or offering unregistered securities in violation of federal and California state law.

Die letzten beiden Quartale von Bitcoin im Jahr 2020 waren recht volatil. Dies war eher für den größten Teil des Jahres 2020 der Fall. Tatsächlich hatte jedes Quartal etwas Wichtiges wie den durch die Pandemie verursachten Absturz im ersten Quartal, die V-förmige Erholung im zweiten Quartal, den institutionellen Kauf im dritten Quartal, gefolgt von der raschen Preisexplosion in Q4.

Während die Institute vor dem Bullenlauf schwere BTC-Taschen haben und weiterhin erwerben, ist es offensichtlich, dass Bitcoin bereit ist, eine Leistung zu erbringen

Schauen wir uns jedoch an, wie sich die Wale, Institutionen, Einzelhändler und professionellen Händler des Marktes in den letzten 4 Monaten entwickelt haben.

Laut einem Bericht von OKEx war in den letzten 4 Monaten ein klarer Trend zu beobachten, bei dem der Einzelhandel kurzfristig eher bullisch als institutionell war, obwohl letzterer langfristig bullisch war.

Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass der Einzelhandel im FOMO gekauft hat, während Wale dies nicht getan haben. OKEx fasste es mit folgenden Worten zusammen:

„Es scheint, dass Einzelhändler die Preisrallye von Bitcoin Trader verfolgt haben… während professionelle Händler später ebenfalls an der Rally teilnahmen, scheinen große Händler (und möglicherweise Wale) Gewinne mitgenommen zu haben. Die Institute (und möglicherweise Wale) blieben trotz einiger Vorurteile etwas ausgeglichen in Richtung Verkauf. “

Zu diesem Zweck klassifizierte der OKEx-Bericht Händler zwischen 0 und 0,5 BTC als Einzelhändler, 0,5 bis 2 BTC als professionelle Händler, 2-5 und 5-10 BTC-Händler als Wale und 10 + BTC-Inhaber als institutionelle Händler. Es sollte jedoch beachtet werden, dass 2-5 BTC- und 10 + BTC-Inhaber überlappende Wale und Institutionen umfassen.

Die Metriken

Es ist ersichtlich, dass Einzelhändler BTC von September bis November kauften, um ihren Preis zu verfolgen, während professionelle Händler einem ähnlichen Trend folgten. Wale verkauften jedoch ihre Bestände, auch bekannt als Gewinnmitnahmen.

Institute, die BTC langfristig halten, schienen im September neutral zu sein, nahmen jedoch Gewinne mit, als Bitcoin gegen Ende November seinen ATH erreichte.

Ein ähnlicher Trend ist in der letzten Novemberwoche zu beobachten, als der Einzelhandel BTC kaufte, während Wale und Institutionen Gewinne mitnahmen.

Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass der Einzelhandel einen Erfolg haben muss, da Bitcoin jetzt deutlich unter seinen Höchstständen von vor einigen Wochen liegt. Institutionen und Wale werden jedoch mehr Bitcoins kaufen, da der Preis der Kryptowährung weiter sinkt.

Is Bitcoin now a must-have? – One more wind vane is turning in the direction of crypto-wind: after having denigrated Bitcoin (BTC) for a long time, the major bank Wells Fargo now recognises its qualities. Indeed, it felt obliged to admit that Bitcoin is by far among the most successful assets of 2020.

Bitcoin, a dazzling progression
Even if it’s only been 2 years, it seems a long time ago when Wells Fargo allowed itself to formally forbid its customers to use their money to buy cryptos via their bank card.

Indeed, on 7 December, the investment advisory subsidiary of the major American bank, the Wells Fargo Investment Institute, published the report of an investment strategy that includes a section on… Bitcoin!

Under the title „Bitcoin – [the] best performing and most volatile asset of 2020“, the Wells Fargo subsidiary admits that the group of assets with the highest returns this year are cryptomoney.

The investment advisory institute thus recalls that Bitcoin performed much better than the SP500 stock market index or gold during 2020, with a +170% increase over the year, an explosion that itself follows a surge that was already at +90% in 2019.

Price evolution index for gold, SP500 and Bitcoin, taking as a reference (100) their respective prices on 23 November 2017.
Bitcoin, a new gold rush?
However, Wells Fargo analysts cannot help but go back to their old habits and criticise Bitcoin a little, pointing out the volatility of its prices. This would be due to the fact that the cryptomoney industry is still in a speculative phase.

„Today’s investment in cryptomoney is somewhat comparable to the beginning of the gold rush of the 1850s, which involved more speculation than investment. »

However, the tone is changing rapidly.

„(…) cryptomoney could one day become an interesting investment. Over the past 12 years, their market capitalization has grown from literally nothing to $560 billion. Fads don’t usually last 12 years.

This section on Bitcoin concludes that Wells Fargo will focus more on the digital asset sector in 2021.

When even the big banks are beginning to run out of arguments for not considering Bitcoin and cryptos as assets in their own right, a major shift in the financial and economic world can be felt. One more positive sign for the future of our cryptosphere?

L’indicatore Bitcoin raggiunge l’estremo storico: il prezzo perde due terzi all’inversione

uomo d’affari in piedi su diagrammi e grafici di disegno di scale

Il prezzo del Bitcoin questa settimana ha raggiunto il massimo di 19.500 dollari, dopo un rally di sei settimane al 60%. Dal momento in cui la prima moneta criptata in assoluto Bitcoin Pro ha superato i 12.000 dollari, su un periodo di 3 giorni, ci sono state dodici chiusure consecutive di candele verdi senza alcun rosso.

L’impulso rialzista estremo ha fatto sì che uno specifico indicatore tecnico raggiungesse la lettura più alta della storia – raggiunta solo tre volte prima, tutte prima del 2014. Ogni volta, una correzione media di due terzi del prezzo Bitcoin ha avuto luogo dopo che lo slancio si è finalmente abbassato. Un selloff storico seguirà questo rally precedentemente inarrestabile?

Bitcoin Price corregge duramente a seguito di un mancato test fallito dell’All-Time High, ma c’è ancora molto da fare

Il prezzo per BTC è quasi raddoppiato dall’inizio di settembre, dando il via a un rally esplosivo guidato da FOMO che è appena terminato.

La criptovaluta è diventata parabolica dopo aver superato i 12.000 dollari e la notizia che PayPal sosterrà le valute criptate. Ma il fallimento di rompere il suo massimo di tutti i tempi ha fatto sì che Bitcoin cadesse di nuovo in picchiata per fare rifornimento.

La corsa verso l’alto ha fatto sì che l’indicatore tecnico Fisher Transform raggiungesse una delle quattro letture più alte nella storia della criptovaluta di poco più di un decennio.

È interessante notare che la deviazione estrema di 7,5 o più non ha avuto luogo da prima del 2014, quando pochi sapevano cosa fosse una criptovaluta o avevano sentito parlare di Bitcoin. Ma se si guarda indietro a questi esempi del passato, potrebbe indicare che si sta profilando una situazione molto pericolosa.

Fisher Transform: Un’ipercorrezione potrebbe essere dovuta per la prima criptovaluta in assoluto

Durante il primissimo mercato dei tori Bitcoin in assoluto, l’indicatore Fisher Transform ha raggiunto una lettura così estrema per tre volte. La prima volta che l’asset si è surriscaldato, il risultato è stato un ritiro del 48%.

La seconda ha causato un pieno ritracciamento dell’80%, e la terza ha iniziato il primo mercato di orsi Bitcoin tra il 2014 e il 2015 dopo un calo iniziale del 64%. Ora, il segnale è tornato, e prendendo la media delle tre correzioni e delle letture estreme, si stima che due terzi potrebbero scendere dal prezzo per BTC.

Le correzioni del mercato dei tori Bitcoin durante l’ultimo ciclo hanno raggiunto in media solo tra il 37% e il 38%. Durante il primo mercato dei tori, la media era più vicina al 64%.

Le due gamme di correzione del mercato dei tori potrebbero fornire potenziali obiettivi per i punti deboli. Il primo dei due obiettivi risiede proprio dove il breakout rialzista ha avuto luogo a 12.000 dollari.

Il secondo, con un ritorno del 64%, riporterebbe il prezzo del Bitcoin a 7.000 dollari per BTC. Per quanto estremo possa sembrare, la criptovaluta è nota per estendersi eccessivamente in entrambe le direzioni. Dopo i guadagni del 2020, una mossa brusca potrebbe funzionare.

Anche il punto intermedio dei due obiettivi è uno scenario probabile, che si attesta intorno ai 9.200 dollari e che colmerebbe una delle rimanenti lacune ECM lasciate sul grafico dei futures Bitcoin.

Qualunque sia l’obiettivo finale, l’acquisto del tuffo con successo potrebbe essere il gioco più redditizio nella storia della Bitcoin.

Administrerende direktør i Visa er optimistisk om at flere digitale valutaer vil kjøre på Visa-nettverket i fremtiden.

Visa-sjef Alfred Kelly sa at han ser stort potensiale i kryptovalutaer

Digitale eiendeler vil være veldig nyttige i land med et høyt antall mennesker uten bank, la han til.

Det kan imidlertid ta flere år før Visa fullt ut tar den nye teknologien i bruk.

Alfred Kelly, administrerende direktør for betalingsgiganten Visa, sa at selskapet hans ser stort potensial i digitale valutaer i årene som kommer, spesielt i utviklingsmarkeder med et betydelig antall ikke-banker, ifølge CNBCs rapport publisert fredag.

„Crypto er en voksende del av betalinger i verden,“ sa Kelly og la til: „Til slutt kan vi se digitale valutaer som kjører på Visa-nettverket på en mer regelmessig basis,“ om enn „flere år ut.“

Selskapet kjøpte nylig Plaid, et selskap som hjelper 11 000 finansinstitusjoner i USA og 2700 fintech-utviklere med å utveksle data

”Vi er et nettverk og prøver i økende grad å bli et nettverk av nettverk,” bemerket Kelly og forklarte: “Plaid er bare på sitt enkleste nivå et annet nettverk som vi mener passer inn i et ønske om å ha flere nettverk som vi flytter informasjon og penger rundt om i verden. ”

Visa-sjefen la til at en av cryptos største fordeler ligger hos 1,7 milliarder ikke-bankerte mennesker over hele verden som ikke har tilgang til tradisjonelle kontoer.

„Det er 1,7 milliarder mennesker på jordens overflate vi tror ikke er banket i et vanlig banksystem i hvilket land de bor i, inkludert noen her i USA,“ bemerket Kelly og la til: „Vi er absolutt åpne for alle kjøretøyer. som bidrar til å lette bevegelsen av penger rundt om i verden. Vi vil være midt i det. ”
