Taproot Assets Upgrade to Alleviate Bitcoin Congestion Revealed

Bitcoin Lightning Network (LN) developer Lightning Labs has announced Taproot Assets v0.2. The upgrade provides a more efficient method of minting assets on the blockchain following the BRC-20 network mayhem last week.  On May 17, Lightning Labs announced the latest release of the Taproot Assets Protocol, formerly known as Taro.  Taproot Assets v0.2 “provides the core set of features for developers looking to issue, send, receive, and discover assets on the Bitcoin blockchain,” it stated.  Furthermore, the protocol was designed to operate maximally off-chain. This was specifically implemented to avoid the blockchain congestion that occurred last week.  Taproot Assets to Solve Scaling Problems  The developers acknowledged that in its current form, the BTC network is not scalable:  “While the excitement around building on Bitcoin is encouraging, the fee markets response has indicated that these protocols are not designed for scale.”  The latest release enables the minting or moving of an unbounded number of assets in a single on-chain transaction.  Users will also soon be able to integrate their assets into the Lightning Network for faster and cheaper transactions.  The upgrade leverages existing network effects and negates the need to “bootstrap a new ecosystem from scratch,” it noted. The announcement concluded that as adoption grows, it should alleviate the blockchain

Long-term Bitcoin holders sell nearly 50K BTC – marking 2023 high

Pangmatagalan Bitcoin (BTC) holders sold nearly 50,000 BTC on May 15, setting a record for such sales this year.  This measure represents revived supply or the amount of the Bitcoin supply that has re-entered circulation after remaining untouched.  Addresses that held Bitcoin for more than one year sold 18,000 BTC on May 15 — while addresses that held Bitcoin for more than two years sold 17,000 BTC. Addresses that held Bitcoin for more than three years sold 17,000 BTC.  Revived Supply: (Source: Glassnode)  Bitcoin has seen higher revived supplies in the past months. Notably, it saw revived supplies of 110,000 BTC and 95,000 BTC in November 2022, representing sales of $2 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Bitcoin also saw a revived supply of 100,000 BTC in June 2022, representing sales of approximately $2.4 billion.  Bitcoin currently has a higher market value than it had in those months, meaning that its latest revived supply (50,000 BTC) is worth more than $1 billion. It is, therefore, close to past revived amounts in terms of dollar value.  The post Long-term Bitcoin holders sell nearly 50K BTC – marking 2023 high appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Coinbase May Face Strong Actions From The SEC

Tech  Maaaring Harapin ng Coinbase ang Matitinding Aksyon Mula sa SEC  12 minuto ang nakalipas  Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  According to Coindesk, a report on Monday by Berenberg suggests that the SEC will soon take action against Coinbase, similar to what it did with Bittrex and Kraken.  In mid-February, Kraken Crypto Exchange “immediately” terminated its crypto staking service platform for US customers and paid $30 million fees to SEC, to which they offered unregistered securities.  In mid-April, the SEC charged crypto asset trading platform Bittrex, Inc. and co-founder and former CEO William Shihara for running an unregistered national stock exchange, brokerage, and clearing agency. The SEC also charged Bittrex, Inc.‘s foreign arm, Bittrex Global GmbH, for failing to register as a national stock exchange in connection with operating a single common order book alongside Bittrex. On May 8, the exchange declared bankruptcy following the SEC’s allegation.  Coinbase (COIN) will soon be the target of enforcement action from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which may reflect the regulator‘s activities against cryptocurrency exchanges. Bittrex and Kraken are electronic competitors, according to Berenberg’s research study from Monday.  Berenberg estimates that at least 37% of Coinbases $736 million in first-quarter net revenue came from transaction fees and spreads posted by

Ethereum yields set to skyrocket in new crypto cycle – Cryptopolitan

crypto Ethereum  Ethereum yields set to skyrocket in new crypto cycle – Cryptopolitan  2 minuto ang nakalipas  Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  As the world grapples with the relentless squeeze on traditional banking yields, the digital universe presents an enticing alternative. Ethereum, a leading player in the cryptosphere, is set to witness a surge in yields, attracting attention from investors worldwide.  The persistent pressure on zero-yield bank deposits shows no signs of abating. As a result, Ethereum yields are poised to become the new attractive destination for investors. Currently, investors are fleeing bank deposits for U.S. Treasury money markets.  However, as the Ethereum yield economy becomes more mainstream, analysts Gautam Chhugani and Manas Agrawal of Bernstein predict an upswing in demand for ETH deposits and ETH yields.  The duo emphasizes that in the “hierarchy of yields,” money market yields, particularly at peak rates, are typically the preferred choice for investors. However, these yields are denominated in U.S. dollars, a fiat currency base.  By contrast, Ethereum provides an innovative alternative with its yield denominated in ETH, a deflationary cryptocurrency, thus offering investors a potential safeguard against fiat currency depreciation.  A critical component driving ETH yields is the increasing activity within the Ethereum ecosystem. Retail and institutional investors alike are contributing

Declining euro value of Bitcoin and Ethereum

Bitcoin Ethereum  Declining euro value of Bitcoin and Ethereum  2 minuto ang nakalipas  Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  Although the euro has depreciated slightly against the dollar in recent weeks, this has not affected the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum.  In fact, the value of euro prices of the two major cryptocurrencies are still down, despite the slight devaluation of the euro.  The bulk of fiat currency trading in the crypto markets takes place in dollars, so it is generally preferred to take the dollar price of cryptocurrencies as a reference point.  When exchange rates between other fiat currencies and US dollars are stable, the trend is also quite similar for euro prices, but sometimes exchange rates vary and also impact fiat currency cryptocurrency prices.  At the beginning of May, the euro was back above $1.1, which is a level it had recovered around mid-April, and between ups and downs had managed to hold for about four weeks.  But starting on 9 May it fell below $1.1, until it touched $1.085 on Friday.  From then until today it has still not managed to get back above $1.09.  This is a very small devaluation of only 2%, but significant because it happened relatively quickly for the fiat currency market.  It is worth noting
