Read Nimbus Statement regarding El Pais's recent false claims 👉Here!
​​Your weekly crypto digest is here

📈 Despite China's recent ban of all cryptocurrency transactions, bitcoin not only didn’t rush down but also returned above $50,000 for the first time since early September. One of the reasons could be attributed to the fact that the Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, said that the regulator does not plan to ban cryptocurrencies or impose harsh measures against digital assets. By the way, earlier, the head of the Fed, Jerome Powell, made a similar statement.

🤑 No surprise even the family office of billionaire George Soros has invested in the first cryptocurrency. According to the head of the Fund, bitcoin has even more long-term potential. Bloomberg believes that the fact that the Soros family office, which manages money for the billionaire philanthropist, now publicly has some skin in the crypto game adds to the legitimacy of the sector. It should also be noted that other major institutions seem to favor DeFi as well.

✌🏻Finally yet importantly, according to Bank of America, the digital asset industry could become “one of the most exciting markets” in the coming years. The universe of digital assets with a capitalization of over $2 trillion and more than 200 million users is too large to ignore. Additionally, Bank of America believes that corporations may in the future be more willing to consider adding digital assets to their balance sheets for diversification.
​​Your Nimbus Team continues to work harder than ever to deliver results, and we’re back with another sprint report.

Let’s dive in!


 Wrap Machine:

Earlier with the Wrap Machine, you could view specific details about the transaction only before you executed the wrap (ERC-20 to BEP-20 token transfer and vice versa). We're talking about the number of NBU or GNBU tokens inserted into the Wrap Machine, the gas fees, the number of tokens received after the transfer, etc.

Now, we have ensured that these details are displayed after the wrap has been made. Also, the transaction history with all the relevant details is saved and can be viewed every time you connect your wallet to the Nimbus Platform.

 Revamped “Roadmap” section of the website:

Currently, the roadmap on the website shows dApps and products that have already been released, as well as the products that are in development — in a separate section.

We are working on a new section called "Now in development," where you will be able to track the work of the Nimbus tech team on products that are being developed on a weekly basis.

Want to know what exciting products your Nimbus Team is working on?

Visit the Roadmap now 👉 Here!

 Analytics Page:
We’re also working on improving the data on the analytics page to show real-time numbers and values. Currently, it does hold some flaws since the data is collected via a third-party server. We have done the necessary research and found a more optimal solution — to create our own novel code and implement it to show relevant analytics and data.

405 minor infrastructure improvements were implemented

We'll be back with another sprint run soon — hope you all have a great weekend!

​​Your weekly market summary,

🚀 The crypto market is roaring once again with Bitcoin moving past $59K. This spike of optimism could be contributed to multiple factors. First things first, Australia’s largest pension funds Queensland Funding Firm QIC has said it may make small investments throughout the cryptocurrency sector. CDPQ — Canada’s second-largest pension fund — on the other hand, co-led a $400m funding round for crypto lending platform Celsius Network.

🤑 Secondly, it looks like a futures-based bitcoin exchange-traded fund is getting closer to approval in the US. To be more precise, the ProShares’ product is widely expected to receive accreditation on October 18. If approved, futures-based ETFs will allow investors to gain crypto exposure. By the way, would you invest in a crypto ETF?

🧠 Finally, yet importantly, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, said that cryptocurrencies could be eventually used as a means of payment. Even though, he claimed it was too soon to talk about using digital currencies for trading oil and other commodities that form the bulk of Russia’s exports. Who knows, maybe soon enough things will turn around.

​​Happy Friday Nimbus community,

🤟🏾The DeFi industry has reached yet another milestone — the value of assets used in the ecosystem reached $100 billion for the first time. It may sound crazy but lending on cryptocurrency platforms rose 14.9% from last week to $50.7 billion, according to the latest data. Cryptocurrency exchange transactions on DeFi networks, on the other hand, surged 8.6%. Finally, the number of Bitcoin used in decentralized finance rose 8% to 209,575 from 194,130 a week earlier, whereas the number of Ethereum used went up by 3.5%.

🙊This spike of interest could be explained by the approval of the first U.S. bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund. The long-awaited ProShares ETF will offer exposure to bitcoin futures contracts — agreements to buy or sell the asset later for an agreed-upon price — rather than bitcoin itself. Thus, now anyone can get exposure to Bitcoin in his or her brokerage account. Yet, we find it important to mention that the ETF charges 0.95% a year. Would you invest in ProShares ETF that does not actually own Bitcoin?

Finally, on October 20, the PancakeHunny suffered a flash loan attack that targeted the Hunny TUSD Vault. As a result, the platform lost 388 BNB and 1.7 million TUSD (approximately $ 1.9 million). Curiously, PancakeHunny’s smart contracts were audited by Certik, one of the leading blockchain security companies in the industry, yet it fell victim to such an exploit.

​​Free ETH and USDT loans?👀

Sounds too good to be true - but that's exactly what makes Nimbus Borrowing dApp so special: the lowest borrowing rates in the market!

There are even more benefits:
Customizable collateralization anywhere between 120% to 1000%
No more losing sleep🥱over liquidation risks!
✔️ Know the liquidation risk corresponding to the collateral level while borrowing
✔️ Push notifications are triggered 10 days prior to the loan overdue date to keep you prepared - or when the collateral level drops to 130% (loan liquidation = 115%) for real-time risk mitigation
Stressed because you still missed your loan overdue date? Don't worry: we've got you covered!
✔️ If your loan is past the overdue date, go to the 'Rollover' section, where you can view all the overdue loans and buy yours back.
✔️And if the loan got liquidated, go to the 'Liquidation' section, where you can also “buy it back”.

💡Since the level of liquidity provided to each borrowing pool affects the APR - the APR will certainly start growing from the current 0% - so be fast to take your loan! This way, you can have the fixed 0% for the entire period of your loan 😎

This means it's time to use your first-mover advantage and get your loans for free👉 Here!

​​👋Hey Nimbus Community,

Most of you must have used Uniswap, Curve, or Balancer once ever since you ventured into DeFi🙌

Ever wondered what makes these DEXs different from traditional exchanges, or how do they ensure decentralization at large?🤨

Well, the underlying mechanism called the AMM or Automated Market Maker that powers these DEXs is doing all the magic.

Check the image above 👆 to discover its meaning.
 
What's so good about AMM?
🧿 AMMs were created as a direct response to factors such as extreme slippage, latent price discovery that enabled market manipulation – most likely caused due to human activities. Since AMMs removed the need for manual involvement and involved liquidity pools, it also solved the problems mentioned above.  
🧿 In an AMM, token price changes automatically as the market moves. Moreover, even when the liquidity is low in a pair, an AMM allows the users to execute exchanges smoothly. However, during conditions of low liquidity, the price impact factor may be significantly high, hence while the exchange might happen almost instantly, the rate might not be optimal.
