• La presentación del primer trimestre de Tesla ante la SEC revela que tenía 2.480 millones de dólares en Bitcoin en su balance a 31 de marzo.
• En una convocatoria de inversores realizada ayer, el fabricante de automóviles reveló que había vendido el 10% de sus tenencias de Bitcoin por 272 millones de dólares en el primer trimestre.

Tesla ha puesto una cifra exacta a sus posesiones de Bitcoin

El fabricante de vehículos eléctricos Tesla ha puesto una cifra exacta a sus posesiones de Bitcoin Circuit, revelando que, a 31 de marzo de 2021, tenía 2.480 millones de dólares en Bitcoin en su balance.

La presentación del primer trimestre de Tesla ante la Comisión de Valores y Bolsa (SEC) señaló que el „valor justo de mercado del bitcoin mantenido a 31 de marzo de 2021 era de 2.480 millones de dólares“.

En la presentación, Tesla registró una ganancia neta de 101 millones de dólares en activos digitales durante el trimestre, basada en ganancias realizadas de 128 millones de dólares a través de ventas, y 27 millones de dólares de pérdidas por deterioro en su inversión en Bitcoin durante el mismo período. El Bitcoin es el único activo digital que posee la empresa.

La presentación se produce después de una llamada de inversores ayer, en la que Tesla reveló que había vendido el 10% de sus participaciones en Bitcoin por 272 millones de dólares en el primer trimestre de 2021. El consejero delegado, Elon Musk, tuiteó más tarde que la empresa lo había hecho para „probar la liquidez de Bitcoin como alternativa a mantener el efectivo en el balance.“

Y que planeaba aceptar Bitcoin como pago por sus productos

El fabricante de automóviles reveló en una presentación ante la SEC en enero de 2021 que había comprado Bitcoin por valor de 1.500 millones de dólares y que planeaba aceptar Bitcoin como pago por sus productos, conservando cualquier BTC obtenido de las ventas, en lugar de convertirlo en moneda fiduciaria.

Fiel a su palabra, el mes pasado Tesla introdujo la opción de comprar sus productos utilizando Bitcoin en los Estados Unidos, señalando que introduciría la función en otras regiones más adelante en el año.

La compra de Bitcoin por parte de Tesla suscitó un gran interés por la criptomoneda, y el director general de MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor, que se ofreció a compartir con Musk su „libro de jugadas“ para comprar Bitcoin, lo describió como la „punta del iceberg“ de la inversión institucional.

There is a clear trend around the world towards the adoption of cryptocurrency regulation.

Regulators monitor the cryptocurrency market with a certain degree of curiosity.

The best choice we can make is to negotiate with these regulators

Whether it’s peer-to-peer, with remittances to loved ones, or the B2B segment where businesses pay for goods or services, international transactions are part of a highly demanded process. This phenomenon is growing at a rapid rate. In 2019, McKinsey valued the international payments market at around $ 230 billion .

Despite the popularity of this industry, the current system is far from perfect. There is no way for international financial flows to avoid going through a chain of correspondent banks, so it is not possible for them to go through the blockchain at this time. This means transactions take a long time, and no one likes high fees.

Blockchain is growing

This is when blockchain technology comes into play, giving the financial industry even more room to innovate, with many benefits.

Firstly, making transactions through blockchain-based systems is cheaper, as this process requires fewer middlemen and therefore lower fees. According to Deloitte’s estimates, using blockchain for transactions will result in a 40% to 80% reduction in transaction costs .

Efficiency is another advantage: an international cryptocurrency payment can take a few minutes or even seconds, compared to several days of waiting with the typical banking system.

Financial security is also enhanced, as all actions are recorded in the blockchain. Likewise, the use of systems, personal keys, and the ability to add data to each transaction reduce the risk of theft or fraud.

While this area is still at an early stage of development, we already have access to a wide range of convenient cryptocurrency payment solutions that can improve outbound payments.

However, even given the technical capacity to conduct efficient international transactions, crypto-payment solutions face challenges regarding their implementation.

In 2009, blockchain visionaries dreamed of making direct one-click payments, without conversions or worrying about borders.

However, we must cooperate with existing financial systems and banks, which often reject such payments. Thus, we are faced with the impossibility of carrying out transactions abroad through cryptocurrencies.

The question is: “Is this temporary? What will happen in the future? ”

The future of payments

Personally, I believe in a future where overseas payments can be made with a single Fast Bitcoin (BTC) transaction . However, such a future requires regulation, but the potential is there.

Regulators monitor the cryptocurrency market with a certain degree of curiosity. They recognize that the use of blockchain technology is a solution that can revolutionize finance.

There is a clear trend around the world to adopt regulations to grow this market in a way that would suit local lawmakers. Many countries have already introduced their own cryptocurrency and blockchain policies and have started to develop new infrastructure.

For example, the UK has passed regulations and started accepting license applications from cryptocurrency companies.

In my opinion, reaching agreement with the regulators is the best choice we can make. However, we must be very careful. I doubt we can talk about the dominance of cryptocurrencies in the international payments market anytime soon.

Yet, we are definitely approaching the point in the evolution of finance where this type of transaction could become commonplace. Cooperation with the traditional market and its existing standards is an essential step in bringing cryptocurrency platforms closer to free operation.

We still have a lot of work to do, but cryptocurrency payments could become popular enough to compete with existing digital payment solutions and bank cards, if done correctly.

Nos últimos meses, a Reserva Federal tem adquirido muitos ativos importantes como forma de manter a economia dos EUA um pouco estável durante a pandemia do coronavírus. Este gasto excessivo e a impressão excessiva do dinheiro tradicional para garantir que as pessoas tenham medidas de estímulo durante a pandemia fez com que muitos comerciantes – tanto padrões como institucionais – empilhassem seu dinheiro em mercadorias como bitcoin, que não é mais um ativo especulativo na mente de muitas pessoas.

Se a Reserva Federal limitar os gastos, o preço do bitcoin pode cair

A BTC conquistou uma nova reputação na medida em que agora é vista amplamente como uma espécie de ferramenta de hedge; algo que pode potencialmente manter o dinheiro das pessoas seguras durante os tempos de conflito econômico. No entanto, tudo isso foi durante um período em que os problemas de dinheiro corriam de forma desenfreada.

O Federal Reserve deu recentemente a entender que poderia diminuir ou até parar a compra de ações e ativos adicionais. Isto sugere que a economia americana está começando a se estabilizar e, segundo muitos analistas e especialistas da indústria, isto poderia afetar negativamente o preço do bitcoin e das principais moedas criptográficas.

Na situação atual, a bitcoin está sendo negociada por bem mais de $33.000 depois de ter atingido um recorde recente de cerca de $40.000. O Ethereum também está sendo negociado por mais de US$ 1.000 pela primeira vez em cerca de três anos, e muitas formas de criptografia estão se saindo melhor do que nunca. Entretanto, isto foi durante uma época em que o dólar americano e outras formas de „fiat“ não estavam acompanhando o ritmo.

Se a economia está mostrando sinais de recuperação, o bitcoin pode estar passando por uma dura correção. O presidente do Fed de Chicago, Charles Evans, divulgou recentemente uma declaração explicando:

Pode ser que as coisas estejam indo muito melhor, e nós acabamos fazendo algum tipo de afinação.

Homens como Alex Kruger – economista e comerciante de criptografia – acreditam que isso teria pesadas repercussões sobre o bitcoin, e que o preço pode sofrer uma forte queda, embora ele diga que isso pode levar algum tempo para acontecer. Ele menciona:

[Tapering] seria um grande problema para o preço do bitcoin, pois diminuiria a demanda macro e institucional. Não espero nenhum afunilamento em 2021, mas precisamos estar atentos e ser rápidos para reagir.

Não se preocupe demais… Ainda assim…

Alex Kuptsikevich – analista financeiro sênior do FX Pro – compartilha este sentimento, afirmando que embora os comerciantes provavelmente não precisem estar muito preocupados neste momento, eles certamente devem manter seus olhos e ouvidos abertos para quaisquer sinais de que o Federal Reserve está procurando recuar. Ele diz:

É improvável que um retrocesso do Fed seja algo a ser temido seriamente por enquanto. Apesar de possíveis sinais de descontentamento com a capitalização patrimonial inchada de Powell, uma retirada do apoio aos mercados seria quase certamente um choque para a economia, garantindo uma segunda recessão.

ChangeNOW, un échange instantané crypto-crypto, fiat-to-crypto non privatif de liberté basé aux Seychelles, intègre Uniswap, l’échange décentralisé basé sur Ethereum et l’un des plus importants au monde. Ils sont maintenant le premier service d’échange instantané de crypto-cryptage à intégrer Uniswap dans sa plate-forme.

Relier les jetons de l’ERC-20 aux réseaux principaux

Dans un communiqué de presse du 30 novembre, l’échange a déclaré que l’intégration du moteur de l’Uniswap est une étape souhaitable. Les clients de ChangeNOW peuvent désormais échanger des jetons cotés sur Uniswap tout en négociant à partir de pools de liquidité fiables.

Toutefois, l’intégration ouvre d’autres portes. Au-delà de la facilité de négociation des jetons ERC-20, il est possible d’intégrer ChangeNOW, en faisant de la bourse un pont unique entre les jetons ERC-20 et les autres réseaux.

Ainsi, ce changement rend inutile l’utilisation de pièces de monnaie comme Monero ou Bitcoin. Dès le départ, les commerçants peuvent participer directement à DeFi, en échangeant des pièces courantes avec des jetons ERC-20 listés sur Uniswap.

ChangeNOW fait confiance à l’Uniswap. Bien que les agents malveillants puissent profiter de son pool et de l’absence de contrôles, la bourse des Seychelles estime que le protocole est „assez résistant aux escroqueries“. Ils misent sur sa facilité d’utilisation et sa réputation de plus grand DEX selon Defi Pulse.

Au moment de la rédaction du présent rapport (9 décembre), l’échange prend en charge 40 biens numériques, dont trois versions différentes de l’USDT sur les réseaux Tron, Ethereum et Omni, respectivement. Le jeton de gouvernance Uniswap, UNI, n’est pas sur la liste.

Succès d’Uniswap et proposition de reprise de la distribution d’UNI

Au cours des dernières années, Uniswap a évolué pour devenir l’un des principaux protocoles d’échange sans confiance. Au départ, il n’avait pas de jeton de gouvernance natif, mais avec la concurrence croissante, Uniswap a introduit le jeton de gouvernance UNI.

Au cours des deux premiers mois suivant le lancement, 20 millions de jetons UNI ont été distribués dans quatre pools. Cependant, le programme a pris fin le 17 novembre, faisant passer les actifs gérés par le protocole d’environ 3 milliards de dollars à moins de 1,5 milliard de dollars.

Un vote est en cours pour encourager la fourniture de liquidités, ce qui a eu un impact direct sur le protocole. S’il est adopté, les jetons UNI seront distribués pendant deux mois supplémentaires à un taux inférieur de moitié au taux précédemment annoncé par BTCManager.

En 2019, la bourse s’est associée à Simplex, un fournisseur de traitement des paiements, permettant à ses clients d’acheter et d’échanger facilement des jetons.

Bitcoin (BTC) korrigerar efter en vecka med stark uppgång

Bitcoin (BTC) förlorar 5% under det senaste dygnet och korrigerar kraftigt. Men det återstår att sätta i perspektiv jämfört med den betydande ökningen som förra veckan …

Bitcoin (BTC) misslyckades med att korsa det symboliska 25 000 $ -märket. Tvärtom upplever BTC starkt avslag och handlas nu med cirka 22 000 dollar.

Den senaste nedgången kommer efter uppkomsten av en dubbel standard avvikelse på RSI såväl som brottet av en stigande kil. Denna korrigering är därför meningsfull och Bitcoin Code har redan uppnått målet i figuren.

Det är dock sant att den kortsiktiga situationen är mycket osäker. Om situationen i H4 förblir ganska neutral, med möjlighet att studsa från botten av ett konsolideringsintervall mellan $ 22 och $ 24 000, förblir H1 starkt baisseartad. Scenariot med en större korrigering är därför fortfarande ganska troligt.

En korrigering i ett fortfarande hausseartat sammanhang

Observera att jag bara talar om en korrigering här och inte om en baisse vändning. Detta beror på situationen i andra tidsenheter, särskilt dagligen.

I Daily är det viktigt att notera att trenden fortfarande är mycket hausse. Sedan $ 20 000 $ breakout för mindre än en vecka sedan har Bitcoin ökat nästan 25%.

Det är normalt att se priset korrigera på detta sätt, och detta bör inte ifrågasätta den underliggande trenden, som förblir hausse.

Bitcoin i Daily, fortfarande hausse Bitcoin i Daily, fortfarande hausse

Faktiskt, dagligen är allt alltid grönt. Det finns ingen baisseartad avvikelse på momentumindikatorerna, priset håller sig över Tenkan och visar inte heller något baissartat mönster.

Vi måste därför föredra en enkel tillfällig korrigering innan vi hoppar tillbaka till nya toppar. Det föredragna målet är i slutändan mycket nära det aktuella värdet av Bitcoin, blandning av Tenkan och 38,2% retracement, vilket fortfarande bidrar till en rebound.

Om detta stöd någonsin viker, är det fortfarande möjligt att återgå till den centrala nivån på $ 20.000, förstärkt av Kijun.

En alltid extrem vecka

Även om analysen bör fokuseras på små tidsenheter är det också intressant att titta på situationen varje vecka.

Det råder ingen tvekan, trenden förblir starkt hausse och förstärks av utbrottet av det ultimata motståndet på 20 000 dollar.

Det är dock också intressant att titta på RSI i denna skala. RSI är för närvarande mycket nära de historiskt höga nivåerna som nåddes under bullrun 2017.

Detta materialiserar en extrem ökning, nästan överdriven. Om Daily för närvarande är hausse, kommer det att vara nödvändigt att komma ihåg att uppgången inte kommer att vara evig.

Ett avslag under denna eller nästa vecka skulle mycket troligt vara med tanke på indikatorns tillstånd. Om andra baisseartade element läggs till i Daily, måste vi vara mycket försiktiga med en korrigering som kan vara mycket starkare än den som för närvarande är känd, och som skulle kunna returnera Bitcoin utan problem till $ 19.500.

Acting Comptroller Brian Brooks continues his work to reach the other side of the aisle with promises from key players to support minority banks.

The Office of the United States Bitcoin Future Treasury Comptroller is expanding an outreach programme designed to provide access to minority depository institutions, or MDIs.

According to a Thursday announcement shared with Cointelegraph, the OCC’s REACh Project is expanding to include a commitment from large and mid-sized banks to partner with MDIs. The commitment requires the partner bank to expand investment and executive development support in the MDI it works with.

What does SEC clearance of VCOIN mean for securities law and crypto-currency?
MDIs are simply banks or credit unions that are majority-owned by ethnic or racial minorities. They are considered key to extending financial inclusion to minority groups excluded from many parts of the mainstream financial system. Acting Comptroller Brooks said of the MDIs:

„Their unique status makes them well suited to help improve financial services for minority and underserved communities and create meaningful economic opportunities.
The OCC named Citibank, Flagstar, Huntington, Texas Capital and Wells Fargo as the first grouping to join the new commitment.

Initially announced in October, Project REACh began under Brooks‘ leadership and has been a centerpiece of his work on financial inclusion, especially to Democratic members of the House Financial Services Committee who are unhappy with his focus on cryptomonics.

Brooks joined the OCC from the Coinbase legal team earlier this year after Joseph Otting resigned. Within the Treasury, the OCC is responsible for managing the federal government’s relationship with national banks. Given Brooks‘ background, it is not surprising that crypto currencies were in his mind as a means of advancing the U.S. banking system when he joined.

U.S. lawmakers are trying to make stablecoins illegal without federal approval
There’s a catch. Donald Trump’s nominee, Steven Mnuchin, heads the Treasury, and it was Otting, Trump’s nominee, who appointed Brooks as his interim successor. Only a few weeks ago, Trump nominated Brooks for the position, but that nomination is awaiting Senate confirmation and the clock is ticking. Given the ties to President Trump, it is not surprising that the relationship with Democrats in the congressional committees responsible for overseeing these offices can become strained.

In early November, Brooks appeared before the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee to report on the activities of the OCC. As mentioned above, it was Democrats in the former committee who criticized Brooks‘ focus on cryptomonies as a distraction from the duties of expanding financial access. And in fact, President Waters (D-CA) wrote a series of criticisms of Otting and Brooks for their handling of the Community Reinvestment Act.

However, Democratic representatives like Al Green of Houston, who has spent many years supporting minority financial access on the Financial Services Committee, seemed impressed with Project REACh at last month’s hearing.

For its part, the name of the REACh Project seems to be not only a reference to extending a hand to those outside the financial system; it also seems to be an effort to cross the aisle in the face of partisan stagnation.
