โ€‹โ€‹โœ‹Your weekly market summary,

๐Ÿš€ 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, Australiaโ€™s largest pension funds Queensland Funding Firm QIC has said it may make small investments throughout the cryptocurrency sector. CDPQ โ€” Canadaโ€™s second-largest pension fund โ€” on the other hand, co-led a $400m funding round for crypto lending platform Celsius Network.

๐Ÿค‘ Secondly, it looks like a futures-based bitcoin exchange-traded fund is getting closer to approval in the US. To be more precise, the ProSharesโ€™ 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?

๐Ÿง  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 Russiaโ€™s exports. Who knows, maybe soon enough things will turn around.
๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ 22,12% BNB APRโ€ฆ26,92% BUSD APR โ€“ the yields on Nimbus Lending are on fire!

This is 2X higher compared to the industry average!
๐Ÿš€

Combine these numbers with multiple benefits such as:
โœ… Lending on your own terms โ€“ no minimum deposits, withdraw at any time!
โœ… Overcollateralized loans โ€“ ensure that your assets are safe.
โœ… Nimbus's 3 layer audit system with top auditors, including Chaitin and Hacken, keeps smart contract security and integrity in check.

But note: the APR can change any time depending on the market conditions!โณ

โ€‹โ€‹โœ‹Happy Friday Nimbus community,

๐ŸคŸ๐ŸพThe DeFi industry has reached yet another milestone โ€” 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%.

๐Ÿ™ŠThis 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 โ€” agreements to buy or sell the asset later for an agreed-upon price โ€” 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, PancakeHunnyโ€™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.

โ€‹โ€‹Free ETH and USDT loans?๐Ÿ‘€

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:
โœ… Customizable collateralization anywhere between 120% to 1000%
โœ… No more losing sleep๐Ÿฅฑover liquidation risks!
โœ”๏ธ Know the liquidation risk corresponding to the collateral level while borrowing
โœ”๏ธ 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
โœ… Stressed because you still missed your loan overdue date? Don't worry: we've got you covered!
โœ”๏ธ 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.
โœ”๏ธAnd if the loan got liquidated, go to the 'Liquidation' section, where you can also โ€œbuy it backโ€.

๐Ÿ’กSince 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 ๐Ÿ˜Ž

This means it's time to use your first-mover advantage and get your loans for free๐Ÿ‘‰ Here!

โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ‘‹Hey Nimbus Community,

Most of you must have used Uniswap, Curve, or Balancer once ever since you ventured into DeFi๐Ÿ™Œ

Ever wondered what makes these DEXs different from traditional exchanges, or how do they ensure decentralization at large?๐Ÿคจ

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

Check the image above ๐Ÿ‘† to discover its meaning.
 
What's so good about AMM?
๐Ÿงฟ AMMs were created as a direct response to factors such as extreme slippage, latent price discovery that enabled market manipulation โ€“ 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.  
๐Ÿงฟ 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.

๐Ÿ‘‹Hey Nimbus Community,

Meet our new Community Manager!

He has always remained active within the community guiding his fellow members, working hand in hand with our admin โ€” @Viktor_Nimbus_Support.

Today, Luis is joining the Nimbus Team as a Community Manager and moderator of the Spanish community on Discord. Luis is tasked with the role of moderating the chat and interacting with members to maintain positive engagement and real-time problem solving.

Interestingly, this is the third team member that was initially a member of our incredibly engaged community! So happy to have you folks with usโ˜บ๏ธ

Letโ€™s raise a toast to YOU!๐Ÿฅ‚

โ€‹โ€‹โœŒ๐ŸปHey Nimbus community,

๐Ÿ‘€ Ethereum net continues to evolve โ€“ yet another upgrade called Altair took place this week. Long story short, the Ethereum network suffered two important changes: It added support for โ€œlight clients,โ€ or lower-powered devices like mobile phones that can verify transactions, which furthers the decentralization of Ethereum, and it increased penalties for validators who are inactive or frequently offline, among other things.

โœ”๏ธ In the traditional economy, on the other hand, it was Visa Inc. that stood out this week. To be more precise, the companyโ€™s crypto team collaborated with a cryptocurrency custodian BlockFi and a Palo-Alto-based credit-card startup Deserve to launch a crypto rewards credit card that would appeal to crypto enthusiasts and introduce crypto to the masses. It should also be mentioned that Mastercard also invested in Deserve in June in a $50 million funding round that valued the company at more than $500 million.

๐Ÿ”œ Finally, yet importantly, Twitter is working on a tab that will show off a user's NFT collection. On top of that, Jane Manchun Wong, a Hong Kong-based technology researcher and software engineer has revealed plans that Twitter is testing out its tipping feature on Android devices. Thus, we could say that crypto integration is gaining momentum and apparently, nothing can stop it.
