⚡️ Transparency Report Reveals Backing for Paypal’s PYUSD Stablecoin

➡️ Paypal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, has been operational for 38 days. The token’s issuer, Paxos, has issued a transparency report related to the coin’s reserves. Much like many of today’s stablecoin industry leaders, PYUSD is supported by cash reserves and U.S. Treasury reverse repurchase agreements.

💲 As of August 31, 2023, $45.36 million supports PYUSD, which has a notional value of approximately $44.50 million. Paxos’ repurchase agreements are characterized by “overnight maturity with reputable financial institutions and overcollateralization with U.S. Treasuries,” as highlighted in the update.

💸 The report states that out of the total, $43.86 million is collateralized by Treasury notes, and $1.5 million is collateralized with cash reserves. “As all trades are overcollateralized, the risk of loss is not deemed to be material,” Paxos assures in the transparency report.

👉 Paxos also mentions that it collaborates with BMO Harris Bank, Customers Bank, and State Street Bank. “In order to support overnight and weekend liquidity, Paxos maintains balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits,” the company discloses.

Deciphering the Differences Between Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work

✖️ As cryptocurrencies continue to evolve, two key consensus mechanisms have emerged for validating transactions on the blockchain: proof-of-work (PoW) and proof-of-stake (PoS). This explainer will examine how these protocols differ and the unique benefits and drawbacks of each.

🆕 Proof-of-work (PoW), first introduced by Bitcoin in 2009, requires miners to compete to add new blocks to the blockchain. By expending significant computational power, miners prove that the work was done to validate transactions. The first miner to win the race and discover a block is rewarded with newly minted cryptocurrency.

➡️ Rather than miners, PoS networks have “validators” who stake or lock up their coins to participate in transaction validation.

⚫️ The idea is that staking coins aligns incentives between token holders and the network. In some versions of PoS, validators are randomly selected to propose new blocks, rather than competing to discover them.

PoS advocates consider this much less computationally expensive. However, PoS networks are considered susceptible to various attacks, like censorship, whales manipulating consensus, Sybil attacks, and the nothing-at-stake attack.

🟢 PoS proponents believe proof of stake is the future, enabling faster, cheaper transactions. Both have trade-offs. Hybrid models aim to combine the best of both worlds.

Awakening of 2012 Bitcoins: 8 Transfers Mobilize 520 BTC After 11 Years

🗓 In September 2023
, a flurry of dormant so-called “sleeping bitcoins” from 2012 stirred to life. On September 18, a whopping 909 BTC worth more than $24 million changed hands. Not resting there, the momentum carried into the next day when vintage transfers from 2012 mobilized 519.95 bitcoin, boasting a value of over $14 million.

Following the five BTC transactions from 2012 executed on Monday, Tuesday saw another burst, moving an additional 519.95 BTC. At block height of 808,426, the address “15ZuB” sprang into action, shifting ten bitcoin valued at a cool $270K.

This digital wallet came into existence on October 7, 2012. After, block 808,437 witnessed another ten bitcoin from 2012 being unleashed from “1MLs3,” an address originating on November 11, 2012. Then, in another twist, block 808,438 experienced a similar movement, with yet another ten bitcoin on the move.

This vintage transfer came from the “1365X” address, created on December 12, 2012. The trio of transactions each boasted a “moderate” privacy rating of 55, as evaluated by blockchair.com’s privacy assessment tool.

A while later, at block 808,493, a set of three transactions from 2012 were spent. The legacy addresses were created on September 10 and 11, 2012. The address “1BEFy” spent 99.89 BTC, “1G2j4” moved 99.99 BTC and the final address “1ucmw” moved 100.09 BTC. All eight transfers from 2012 were caught by btcparser.

🔍 Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Establishes a New Support Point on Saturday

🪙 Bitcoin started the weekend in consolidation, as traders seemingly found a new price floor at $26,500. The price uncertainty comes as markets settled following a volatile week, which was headlined by the Federal Reserve rate decision. Ethereum remains below $1,600.

💲 Bitcoin consolidated for a second straight session, with the cryptocurrency hovering around a floor at $26,500. Following a high of $26,786.10 on Friday, BTC/USD slipped to a low of $26,389.30 earlier in the session.

➡️ The price of bitcoin has since rebounded, and at the time of writing this is trading at the $26,581.84 level. It appears that the rebound came as the relative strength index (RSI) failed to break out of its own floor at 50.00.

⚫️ At the time of writing this, price strength is tracking at 50.01, and should this hold, bulls could be tempted to reenter the market. Moving averages continue to signal that there could be an incoming uptrend, with the 10-day (red) trend line still higher.

🔷 Ethereum (ETH) remained under the $1,600 on Saturday, despite attempts by bulls to reenter this region. ETH/USD dropped to a low of $1,587.43 to start the weekend, hours after bulls pushed price to an high of $1,599.97.

💲 However, it appears that there could be another attempt to move past this level, with ethereum currently trading at $1,593.07. Unlike bitcoin, an upwards crossover of moving averages has yet to occur, however it seems like this could happen at any point.

⚫️ Monday’s low saw the world’s largest cryptocurrency trade at its weakest point since September 13, after dropping below $25,800. From the chart, it appears that the rebound in price came as a result of the relative strength index (RSI), finding a floor of its own at 45.00.

💲 As of writing this, price strength is now tracking at 45.84, with the next visible point of resistance at the 55.00 mark. Should bulls reach the 55.00 level, there is a strong possibility that BTC will move close to the $27,000 zone.

🔷 Ethereum (ETH) also rose higher on Tuesday, after dropping to a key point of support to start the week. Following a low of $1,565.03 on Monday, ethereum rallied to an intraday high at $1,598.10 less than 24 hours later.

Not only did ETH bulls reject a breakout below a floor at $1,565, but also used this as a point of reentry, buying the dip in price. Similar to bitcoin above, the surge came as a floor of the RSI also held firm, acting as a springboard for traders.

💲 ETH continues to hover below the $1,600 level, however, this could change following this afternoon’s consumer confidence report.

⚫️ Traders could be awaiting the release of this afternoon’s consumer sentiment report in the United States, prior to deciding their next move.

🔷 Ethereum chart by TradingView

🇰🇿 Crypto Miners Blame ‘Exorbitant Taxes’ for Kazakhstan Exodus

➡️ Licensed crypto mining companies have urged the government in Kazakhstan to revise its taxation policy regarding the sector, which they say is in dire straits. The largest mining firms plan to leave the Central Asian nation by the end of this year, warned the members of the industry.

💲 Crypto mining businesses, authorized to operate in Kazakhstan, have complained about the high production costs since the government limited their access to subsidized electricity and imposed a progressive scale for a surcharge they are required to pay for the power they use.

📝 The miners highlight that their activities are carried out under license, their data centers are legally connected to the power grid and their computing equipment is duly registered.

The crypto firms also point out that they have voluntarily cooperated with the government in its attempt to regulate the market but noted that the positive effect of this is being undermined by the “ineffective and unbalanced” tax policy, Kazakhstan’s Digital Business news portal reported.

✔️ South African Crypto Exchange Valr Receives 'Initial Approval' From Dubai Virtual Assets Regulator

🌟 The South African cryptocurrency exchange, Valr, recently said it had “won an initial approval” from Dubai’s crypto assets regulator, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). According to the crypto exchange, winning this approval is a critical step for Valr which is seeking to establish a presence outside South Africa. The approval however does “not allow Valr to undertake any virtual asset services yet.”

🌐 Explaining the rationale behind the decision to seek an operating license from VARA, the crypto exchange’s CEO Farzam Ehsani highlighted VARA’s role as a world-leading regulator and his firm’s desire to reach a more global audience.

“For the past 5 years, VALR has been working closely with regulators to inform regulatory frameworks that protect the public while allowing responsible innovation to flourish. This initial approval from VARA is a significant milestone for VALR to bring our products and services to a more global audience under the auspices of a world-leading regulator,” Ehsani said.

💰 Commenting on Valr’s pivot to the Middle East, the crypto exchange’s Head of Growth, Blake Player, cited the region’s significant crypto flows and in particular Dubai’s growing reputation “as a forward-thinking and pragmatic jurisdiction.”

“Setting up in Dubai provides an excellent opportunity to serve the regional market and a global customer base from a crypto and business-friendly jurisdiction,” Player added.

📉 The Rise and Retreat: Bitcoin’s Ordinal Inscription Wave Ebbs

➡️ With more than 35 million Ordinal inscriptions now on record, the inscription surge we’ve been witnessing is showing signs of slowing. Following that day, inscriptions skyrocketed at a significant pace.

💲 However, merely ten days later, the landscape shifted dramatically. Moreover, inscribers are shelling out fewer fees to miners. As of now, miners have pocketed approximately 2,120.92 BTC, translating to around $59 million, from processing inscription transactions. Close behind, 42.4% are labeled “text/plain,” adding up to about 14.93 million inscriptions.

🔴Ordinal inscription sales have taken a notable dip, with a marked drop in sales since the close of June.

Yet, there’s a silver lining. The BRC20 token market has experienced a modest uptick of about 3% this week, reaching a value of $180.31 million. However, the lot of BRC20s today have lost 0.6% in 24 hours.

🔷 Standard Chartered’s Research Predicts Ethereum to Hit $8K by 2026 and Eyes $35K Long-Term

📈 After the financial behemoth’s prior forecast of bitcoin (BTC) potentially hitting $50K by year-end and surging to $120K in 2024, Geoffrey Kendrick and his team at Standard Chartered are back with a new report, this time spotlighting ethereum (ETH).

👉 Notably, this $8K projection is merely a precursor to the bank’s ambitious long-term forecast of an ether valued between $26,000 and $35,000.

🌟 Yet, it’s worth noting that while the $8K estimate is slated for 2026’s conclusion, the grander valuation is pegged for 2040.

⚡️ Standard Chartered’s forex and crypto research lead further opined that U.S. regulations around spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) potentials will likely fortify both BTC and ETH.

💬 “The gap between traditional finance and the digital world is narrowing by the day,” Eric Robertsen, the global head of research and chief strategist for Standard Chartered said at the time.

🇳🇬 Nigerian Central Bank Lifts Forex Restrictions on 43 Items — Market Forces to Determine Exchange Rate

🏦 The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced on Oct. 12 that it had lifted foreign exchange restrictions “hitherto placed on the importation of 43 items.”

💬 In a statement that addresses why the restrictions (initially imposed on June 23, 2015) have been removed, the CBN claimed the measures were forcing importers to source the scarce resources on the parallel market.

💲 On the parallel market where the greenback was, and still is widely available, importers were forced to pay premiums starting from 20% to get U.S. dollars. Some experts on the Nigerian economy insisted then that the official exchange rate greatly overvalued the local currency.

However, immediately following his inauguration as Nigeria’s new leader, Tinubu reportedly ordered the CBN to abandon the fixed exchange rate regime.

➡️ The central bank, which is now led by Olayemi Michael Cardoso, said the growing gap between the official and parallel market exchange rate could well indicate that the rate “has not been setting a clearing price.”

✔️ The CBN also said the removal of the restrictions would benefit local producers in the form of cheaper imported inputs while consumers are expected to “benefit from cheaper retail products.”

An announcement about the Sundae project has appeared in the public space. Bloggers, stars and opinion leaders are discussing this project.

One of the creators of Sundae published information about the project in Telegram, and 20 minutes later Ilon Musk posted a photo of himself eating Sundae ice cream as a child. It may be a coincidence, but it could also be Musk's idea.

What's known about the project. Something partly crazy, partly grandiose is coming.

Sundae: it's a crypto-token that equates to digital art. According to the project's philosophy, without community appreciation, a Picasso painting is worthless. The value of a work of art depends on community appreciation.

Right now Sundae is available for the price of an ice cream, but in a month the token may be worth $5, and then $50, $100, $1000. With each new purchase, the "Picasso painting token" will become more and more difficult to buy. The current capitalization of the project is only $20 million.

According to the project's White Paper, Sundae holders are expected to receive multi-million dollar dividends, as well as the right to medical and legal insurance, pensions and free use of the corporation's assets.

Investing in Sundae today might be like buying McDonald's stock on the day it opened in 1940 or accidentally buying a Picasso drawing for ten dollars.

The Sundae project was created by the team behind the popular meme token Grimace, which grew in value hundreds of times in six months, making many investors millionaires.
🪙 Bitcoin Miners Sail Through Over 400 Difficulty Changes With 13 More Anticipated Before the Halving

📈 Bitcoin’s difficulty saw a 6.47% increase this week, surpassing the 61 trillion mark at block height 812,448. This marked the cryptocurrency’s 403rd difficulty epoch, some of which included retargets with no change. In basic terms, Bitcoin’s difficulty measures the challenge of identifying a new block relative to its easiest potential level.

➡️ This measure, denoted by a specific number, is adjusted by the Bitcoin protocol every 2,016 blocks — approximately every two weeks — based on the time taken by miners to discover those 2,016 blocks. The difficulty adjustment ensures a consistent discovery of new blocks by miners, regardless of the number of miners in the network.

Notably, during its initial phase at block height 2,016, the difficulty didn’t alter due to a lack of mining activity.

👉 If these blocks are discovered quicker than this ten-minute benchmark and the block discovery rate accelerates, the difficulty escalates. Conversely, if it lags, the difficulty diminishes.

🔩 Bitcoin’s difficulty will persistently adapt, responding to the ebb and flow of miners within its network. To date, miners have amped up their hashrate, pushing it by an impressive 0.68 exahash per second (EH/s) daily. Remarkably, despite 15 difficulty increases in 2023, the hashrate still surged, tacking on an extra 194 EH/s in under a year.

🇺🇸Bank of America CEO Discusses Economic Slowdown and Fed Cutting Interest Rates

📹 The chairman and CEO of Bank of America, Brian Moynihan, shared insights on the U.S. economy and the potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts during an interview with Fox Business on Wednesday. Moynihan detailed that according to Bank of America’s research team:

💬The economy slows down in the middle of ’24 to about a half-a-percent annualized growth for the second and third quarter, and then works its way back out. And the Fed will start cutting rates, they believe, in the middle of next year to the latter half of next year. So that’s the basic thing, what would be called a soft landing.

⚫️ The Bank of America chief then cautioned that there is a geopolitical risk, such as if the Fed tightening goes too far.

⚫️ Moynihan discussed how interest rate hikes have changed consumer and business decision-making. The Federal Reserve has raised its key interest rate 11 times since March of last year, pushing it to the highest level in 22 years.

💬 People are forgetting on the commercial side, there’s a huge impact of higher rates in terms of people’s willingness to borrow … And so lending conditions are tight, and that’s what the Fed wanted to achieve.

‼️ $720 Million Lost via 117 Hacking Incidents in Q3 of 2023 — Study

➡️ According to the latest Web3 security report by the blockchain security auditor Hacken, there were a total of 117 hacks in Q3 of 2023 while the value of funds stolen in this period topped $720 million. For context, there were 131 hacks in the preceding quarter yet only $327 million was stolen.

📣 While the losses ($49.80 million) from rug-pull incidents are significantly lower than the $449 million lost via access control and reentrancy, the study data shows rug-pulling incidents as the most prevalent form of attack.

On why cybercriminals still siphon user funds via this tactic, the Hacken report revealed that approximately 15%, or 12 out of 78, examined rug pull incidents had been audited. Furthermore, the report noted that many users often overlook a project’s poor audit score. However, such a score may sometimes indicate an even deeper problem.

➡️ Meanwhile, the report urged users to analyze token ownership, liquidity conditions, and audit outcomes before investing their funds. Users should also prioritize projects with renounced admin controls and community-led finances, the report added.
