3.6 million ETH! Ethereum 2.0 staking contract reaches new high

• The amount of ETH staked in the 2.0 contract has reached a new high of 3.6 million.
• The total amount of ETH staked is over $6.1 billion.
• ETH 2.0 is a highly anticipated upgrade that is expected to increase the transaction rate to over 100,000 TPS.

The Ethereum 2.0 deposit contract recently reached an all-time high of 3.6 million ETH.

Glassnode reports that the total value of ETH at its Bitcoin Trend current price of around $1,631 is almost $6.1 billion. This is a huge amount, indicating a lot of support behind the upgrade.

The amount of ETH used has dropped by about 300,000 since then, but there is a clear trend of growth since the launch of the staking contract. Stakers have added over 1 million ETH since 1 January 2021.

The total amount exceeds 3% of the total Ethereum supply.

The ETH 2.0 upgrade will bring numerous improvements to the network, including sharding and a transition to proof-of-stake consensus. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined how the changes will kick off in a Reddit post.

He cites a roll-centric roadmap, simplified merging and parallelisation of phases as the most important changes. Ultimately, the network is expected to be able to process 100,000 transactions per second.

ETH 2.0 remains as popular as ever

The ETH 2.0 deposit agreement of 1 Dec. 2020 required a minimum number of validators to go live. This was easily achieved and later even supported with over 3,200 ETH from Buterin himself. Kraken users alone have deployed more than 250,000 ETH.

The upcoming changes to the network, which will be phased in gradually, are meant to prepare Ethereum (for Ethereum buy guide 2021) for the popularity of its dApps. High gas fees and transaction times have negatively impacted the market.

Some transactions on platforms like Uniswap can cost over $100.

The future of ETH certainly looks bright the way things are going. The DeFi market is closely tied to the performance of the Ethereum network. Therefore, among other things, DeFi market statistics could see a big boost after the improvements.

Os dados mostram que os HODLers de bitcoin de longo prazo não parecem estar vendendo suas propriedades, mesmo quando o preço da bitcoin supera $55.000 – mais do dobro de seu recorde anterior, perto de $19.000. Os recém-chegados, por outro lado, vêm obtendo lucros.

Que ilustra visualmente as carteiras da BTC

Como relatado pela Cointelegraph, o gráfico „Hodlwaves“ da Unchained Capital – que ilustra visualmente as carteiras da BTC de acordo com sua última atividade na cadeia de blocos Bitcoin System– tem mostrado um aumento nos movimentos de longo e curto prazo.

O gráfico mostra que o número de moedas movimentadas nos últimos 30 a 90 dias está em seu nível mais alto desde o mercado de urso de 2018. Endereços com moedas para esses períodos representam cerca de 15% da oferta circulante e compõem o maior segmento de carteiras. As carteiras que estão inativas há entre três e cinco anos constituem o segundo maior segmento, sendo que 13,5% de todos os BTC estão nessas carteiras.

Bitcoin que não circula há pelo menos três anos vem crescendo até agora este ano, com algumas especulações de que os dados mostram que os investidores estão mantendo desde o final de 2017. Isto significa que eles não venderam durante o mercado de ursos de 2018, que viu a BTC cair 84% em relação ao seu recorde histórico, e não estão vendendo mesmo após sua dramática recuperação.

O CTO da empresa de análise de criptografia na cadeia Glassnode, Rafael Schultze-Kraft, sugeriu que os dados mostram que aqueles que compraram BTC nos últimos dois anos estão obtendo lucros, enquanto aqueles que compraram há mais de três anos ainda estão se acumulando.

O preço da bitcoin subiu para além de seu recorde anterio

Vale notar que o gráfico de Hodlwaves mostra uma queda significativa na porcentagem de fornecimento de bitcoin inativo entre um e dois anos, o que pode significar que aqueles que compraram durante o mercado de ursos estão obtendo lucros.

O preço da bitcoin subiu para além de seu recorde anterior, já que a adoção corporativa continuou a crescer. Empresas como a Tesla e a MicroStrategy alocaram uma parte de suas reservas de caixa para a moeda criptográfica para se proteger contra a inflação e o rebaixamento da moeda.

A corrida da Bitcoin tem visto as previsões de preços se tornarem cada vez mais altas, com o ex-executivo da Goldman Sachs e co-fundador da Real Vision Raoul Pal revelando que ele acredita que a capitalização total do mercado de bitcoin e todas as outras moedas criptográficas crescerá para superar os $100 trilhões de dólares

O CEO da plataforma de comércio de moedas criptográficas Kraken, baseada em São Francisco, Jesse Powell, revelou que acredita que o preço do bitcoin pode chegar a US$ 1 milhão nos próximos 10 anos e, a longo prazo, pode „ir até o infinito“.

Przewidywanie cen ETH – 11 stycznia

Ethereum (ETH) handluje poniżej średnich kroczących z 21.87% spadkiem cen w ciągu ostatnich 24 godzin handlu, ponieważ kryptokur waluta rozwija się i spada poniżej 910 dolarów.

Rynek ETH/USD
Poziomy kluczowe:

Poziomy oporu: $1400, $1500, $1600

Poziomy wsparcia: $800, $700, $600

ETH/USD nie mógł wspiąć się znacznie wyżej z poziomu $1260, ponieważ rynek zaczyna się przewracać i spadać w kanale wznoszącym. Spadek ten wynika w dużej mierze z faktu, że ETH/USD spadły dość znacznie. Cena Ethereum pozostaje poniżej 9-dniowych i 21-dniowych średnich kroczących i jeśli ETH/USD nadal będzie spadać i spadać poniżej wsparcia na poziomie 850 USD, moneta może stać się niedźwiedzia.

Czego można oczekiwać od Ethereum (ETH)

Jeśli sprzedający nadal będą wywierać presję na ETH, wstępne wsparcie spodziewane jest na poziomie 800 dolarów. Poniżej tego, inne wsparcie można znaleźć na 700 i 600 dolarów. Z drugiej strony, jeśli byki mogą bronić poziomu 1000 dolarów i pozwolić na odbicie ETH, początkowy opór znajduje się na poziomie 1200 dolarów. Powyżej tego, dodatkowy opór jest spodziewany w wysokości $1400, $1500 i $1600.

Co więcej, wskaźnik techniczny RSI (14) spada w kierunku poziomu 50, co pokazuje, że poprzedni pęd byka zaczyna zanikać. Jeśli wskaźnik RSI (14) zdoła utrzymać się powyżej 50. poziomu, byki mają szansę na odbicie Etereum za 1100 dolarów. Dlatego też, jeśli moneta przebije się pod spodem, może kontynuować spiralę w dół.

Przeciwko Bitcoinowi, wcześniej ETH zatrzymała się, gdy osiągnęła opór około 3546 SAT, powodując przewrócenie się i upadek. Kilka dni temu, ETH/BTC gwałtownie spadł, gdy wrzucił do nośnika przy 2900 SAT. Ból nie ustawał w tym miejscu, ponieważ ETH spadał dziś jeszcze bardziej w dół, osiągając wynik 2969 SAT. Ethereum odbił się stamtąd i powrócił do miejsca, w którym obecnie handluje na poziomie 3043 SAT.

Wczoraj ETH pozostała w neutralnej sytuacji rynkowej, ponieważ udało jej się odbić wyżej niż 3400 SAT. W tej chwili, jeśli spadnie poniżej 3000 SAT, to rynek będzie musiał być uznany za niedźwiedzi, a poziom wsparcia do oglądania to 2800 SAT i poniżej. Aby zmienić się w byka, ETH musi wznieść się znacznie wyżej i przebić się powyżej poziomu 3500 SAT i powyżej. Tymczasem RSI (14) przesuwa się poniżej poziomu 55, powodując większe spustoszenie dla monety.

Deux bars de New York vendent pour Bitcoin

• Un propriétaire de bar new-yorkais veut vendre ses deux bars pour Bitcoin.
• Il s’agirait de la première vente d’un restaurant purement pour la cryptographie.
• Le propriétaire est convaincu qu’il est du bon côté de l’histoire quand il s’agit d’argent.

Le Trust Project est un consortium international d’organismes de presse qui établit des normes de transparence.

Un propriétaire de bar de New York veut laisser ses affaires derrière lui. Et il espère accumuler des bitcoins pendant qu’il y est.

Patrick Hughes, qui possède deux bars adjacents dans Hell’s Kitchen (Hellcat Annie’s et Scruffy Duffy’s) a mis ses bars en vente pour 25 Bitcoin au total. Il acceptera Bitcoin Future également 800 Ether, d’une valeur d’environ 875 000 dollars.

Ce serait la première vente de restaurant crypto uniquement aux États-Unis. Alors que Bitcoin peine à fonctionner réellement comme moyen de paiement, Hughes est prêt à prendre le risque de l’actif volatil.

Il l’a déclaré au New York Post :

„La Crypto est en feu, c’est une monnaie chaude… Elle est décentralisée. C’est mondial.“

Il est temps de changer

Né dans le Queens, M. Hughes vit aujourd’hui à Ho-ho-Kus, dans le New Jersey, et sa famille est propriétaire de bars depuis 1970.

M. Hughes n’est que l’un des nombreux investisseurs qui regardent l’économie américaine s’affaiblir et qui sont déçus par les actions de la Fed visant à soutenir le dollar. Voyant le point de vue selon lequel le dollar s’affaiblira à mesure que la Fed imprimera davantage, les gens recherchent la crypto comme un refuge sûr.

Cela a été alimenté récemment lorsque le président élu Biden a annoncé un plan de relance supplémentaire de 3 000 milliards de dollars et que la rumeur a fait état de chèques de 2 000 dollars pour les citoyens américains. Cet argent proviendrait de la Réserve fédérale, et non d’actifs.

Certains noms célèbres ont également cherché refuge dans les cryptocurrences ces derniers temps. Russel Okung, l’attaquant de la NFL pour les Carolina Panthers, a demandé à être payé en bitcoin (et ça a marché).

Elon Musk a également déclaré, peut-être avec légèreté, qu’il serait d’accord pour être payé en bitcoin. Cela fait suite à l’explosion des prix et du soutien institutionnel de la CTB, ainsi qu’à l’élargissement de l’accès à des partenaires de paiement comme Paypal.

L’histoire de Bitcoin

Charles Sascarilla de la Paxos Trust Company a déclaré au NY Post qu’il n’avait pas connaissance de restaurants ayant été vendus pour la cryptographie auparavant. Il a cependant noté que de plus en plus de gens cherchaient vraiment à utiliser la cryptographie comme instrument monétaire. Il a qualifié cette époque de „point de basculement“ de l’acceptation de la monnaie numérique.

Hughes a connu des temps difficiles sur le plan commercial récemment. Il employait plus de 50 personnes avant le début de la pandémie, et il n’en emploie plus que cinq ou six aujourd’hui. De même, ses bars ont été fermés pendant la majeure partie de l’année 2020.

Il y avait eu une lueur d’espoir en novembre lorsque Hughes a rouvert le Hellcat Annie’s avec une cabine en plein air sur la 10ème avenue. Les ventes ont alors connu une hausse spectaculaire. Le Scruffy Duffy’s, que Hughes avait ouvert avec un partenaire en 1990, est resté fermé en attendant la réouverture du restaurant. Hellcat Annie’s avait été un bar à poney avant 2009.

Le propriétaire du bar a déclaré qu’il jouait au golf, lisait des livres et travaillait sur sa maison. Il a également appris à faire des dessins animés et a lancé une chaîne YouTube pour Scruffy Duffy afin de présenter ses vidéos. Il espère poursuivre cette activité créative une fois que les bars seront vendus.

Raoul Pal afferma che gli investitori istituzionali si stanno preparando a investire in modo massiccio in Bitcoin.

Ha aggiunto che queste istituzioni avevano spinto la domanda per la moneta oltre il livello di offerta

In una recente intervista con Bostjan Usenik, Raoul Pal, un grande investitore di Bitcoin e co-fondatore di Real Vision, ha affermato che più investitori istituzionali sono ora pronti ad acquistare la principale risorsa crittografica.

Pal ha notato che ogni istituzione con cui ha parlato ha mostrato un livello di preparazione per acquistare Immediate Edge. Ha aggiunto che l’approvazione di un ETF BTC farebbe anche molto per cambiare il modo in cui opera il settore.

Secondo Pal, Bitcoin è una risorsa che non è mai stata vista prima nella storia del settore finanziario. E negli ultimi cinque o dieci anni, la moneta ha dimostrato il suo coraggio di essere tra le risorse con le migliori prestazioni.

Il co-fondatore di Real Vision ha inoltre affermato che „le istituzioni non sono ancora entrate completamente nel mondo delle criptovalute“. Crede che quando alla fine lo faranno, sarà enorme per l’asset in rapido movimento.

Gli investitori istituzionali in Bitcoin guidano la domanda oltre il livello di offerta

Raoul Pal ha anche detto a Bostjan che la domanda di Bitcoin da parte di istituzioni come PayPal, CashApp, Grayscale e altri non è attualmente soddisfatta dall’attuale livello di offerta dell’asset.

L’ex gestore di fondi di Goldman Sachs afferma che queste istituzioni stanno maneggiando le loro monete perché si aspettano anche che il prezzo dell’asset continui a salire. Ciò ha portato a quasi nessuna fornitura della moneta; invece, le richieste continuano ad aumentare.

PayPal ha recentemente consentito ai suoi utenti negli Stati Uniti di poter acquistare Bitcoin tramite la loro piattaforma. La scala di grigi, d’altra parte, detiene uno dei più grandi trust di BTC. L’azienda detiene attualmente oltre $ 10 miliardi di asset digitali.

Istituzioni come MicroStrategy, Mass Mutual Insurance Company e altre detengono anche migliaia di criptovalute.

The Ethereum (ETH) price rises and falls. The picture shows an Ethereum Coin and price candles in the background.

While everyone is watching the One Bitcoin a Day course with awe, it is worth looking to the left and right from time to time due to the high correlation of most cryptocurrencies with one another. In the case of Bitcoin , of course, all that remains is to look down and the first thing we see there is Ethereum . Therefore, today we want to devote ourselves to an extensive Ethereum course analysis in order to filter out how the crypto market is currently doing.

We want to examine the current upswing at ETH from two different directions. It gets interesting because both perspectives weight opposing scenarios differently. According to the bullish point of view, the Ethereum course is already targeting $ 780. The bearish view, on the other hand, sees a drop in prices as low as $ 455 as possible.

In this analysis I will show that, according to the technical chart analysis, both perspectives are justifiable variants with valid arguments. At the end we will try to decide which of the two variants is the more likely. $ 780 or $ 470 – what would you like? Let’s find out together!

Ethereum rate of $ 780 or more

Because it currently suits the mood of the market so well, let’s first look at the bullish perspective for the Ethereum course.

An ascending triangle can be read off the daily chart based on the price movements, which is considered a reliable and bullish pattern. With the help of this bullish pattern, one could theoretically have predicted the recent upward breakout of the Ethereum price.

At first glance, the pattern seems to correspond to the ideal type. The horizontal upper trend line was a clear resistance, while the upward trend line represented the support line for the Ethereum price. Together they form the ascending triangle.

Both trend lines are touched by the price often enough and the volume development seems to fit the pattern perfectly. After the breakthrough, the Ethereum price also seems to have already converted the upper trend line into its new support line. So you could say that everything is currently going according to the textbook.

Ethereum price forecast, ETH price

As I have already drawn in the above chart, a minimum price target can be calculated with the help of the chart formation. We get this by measuring the height of the formation and then projecting it onto the upper horizontal trend line. This gives us the minimum price target of $ 780 for the Ethereum course.

In the case of an ascending triangle, the minimum price target is reached in 89% of the cases after the breakthrough. In other words, according to this chart formation, a further price increase for ETH of 20% or more is very likely.

So much for the bullish view of current events. Now let’s take a look at a more pessimistic account of the current situation.

In China, the digital yuan is already available in some pilot cities, selected to prepare for national deployment. Over the weekend, $ 3 million in digital yuan will be distributed to residents of Suzhou City via a raffle. Is the launch approaching?

The digital yuan on trial

In China , the Suzhou city ​​government is distributing 20 million yuan in digital form over the weekend , the equivalent of 3 million dollars . The 10.7 million inhabitants of the city can register for this airdrop and 100,000 lucky ones will each receive 200 digital yuan, or 30 dollars.

In order for the experiment to yield good results, the selected inhabitants will be able to spend their digital yuan on the Internet on the occasion of “ Double 12 ”, a local version of Black Friday . Online, the digital yuan can be used for purchases on JD.com , the 2nd largest e-commerce platform in China.

At the same time, a handful of people will have the opportunity to spend their funds in stores in the city, in order to try out the digital wallet’s offline payment function .

This event is organized with the collaboration of a local bank, which will provide its mobile application dedicated to the digital yuan.

Besides being a test for the digital yuan, a Suzhou City press release on the subject explains:

“This event is also an innovative approach led by the city of Suzhou as part of the standardization of epidemic prevention and control to stimulate consumption and domestic demand. It is of significant importance for promoting quality development of the local economy. “

National deployment is getting closer

Such a free distribution of the digital yuan is proving to be a relatively effective strategy to accustom the population to the digital version of the yuan. In addition, the integration of the digital yuan within the ecosystem of local giants like JD , Alibaba or even Tencent , offers it unprecedented visibility.

Other industries such as the telephone industry are working on solutions for the digital yuan. This is particularly the case with Huawei , the smartphone maker having revealed last October that its models in the Mate 40 series will include a hardware wallet for the digital yuan .

Note that this life-size test for the digital yuan is not the first. Last November, 50,000 residents of the city of Shenzhen shared the equivalent of $ 1.5 million in digital yuan . Some of the winners of this first airdrop had not found any particular interest in the digital yuan compared to other already existing means of payment, while designating it as less practical .

The introduction of the digital yuan on the whole territory is approaching, not to the displeasure of those who have given unfavorable criticism against it …

After Ethereum was „born“ in Canada, the world’s first Ethereum ETF is now seeing the light of day here.

The Canadian investment firm 3iQ will go public next week for the world’s first Ethereum ETF, an exchange-traded Ethereum mutual fund.

The „Ether Fund“ is to be traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol QETH.U

The maximum offer for the launch is 100 million US dollars, the offer phase is open until December 10, 2020. Asset management company 3iQ manages more than 400 million Canadian dollars, with the focus of its investment products on the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum.

In an accompanying press release on Thursday, 3iQ explains how the new Ethereum ETF came about.

„The concept behind Bitcoin Rush was conceived in Canada in 2013 and then expanded by developers around the world,“ said the investment firm, referring to the roots of the crypto project.

In fact, Ethereum co-founder and figurehead Vitalik Buterin is a Canadian Russian who moved to Toronto with his family when he was 6 years old

In Canada’s neighboring country USA, investors have so far shown great interest in Ethereum investment products. Although these are now more than 500% above the respective market value of Ethereum, interest in corresponding financial products such as the Grayscale investment fund ETHE is increasing.

Such investment funds are the means of choice for many investors if they do not want to directly buy and / or hold the associated cryptocurrency themselves.

Finally, investors can look forward to more and more crypto investment products. Thus, the asset management vaneck in November in Germany has the vaneck Vectors Bitcoin ETN launched while 3iQ in the same month a Bitcoin funds in Canada initiated has.

A moeda criptográfica do Bellwether parece imparável depois de fazer um novo recorde histórico.

Principais tomadas de posição

• A bitcoin subiu para 19.860 dólares, esmagando os máximos de todos os tempos por alguns dólares.
• A recente ascensão parece ser alimentada pelo aumento da demanda entre os investidores institucionais.
• Um castiçal de 4 horas fechado acima ou abaixo de $19.500 determinará para onde o BTC se dirigirá a seguir.

O bitcoin subiu para um novo recorde de todos os tempos pela primeira vez desde meados de dezembro de 2017. Enquanto a especulação aumenta sobre novos ganhos no horizonte, múltiplas métricas na cadeia apontam para um declínio acentuado.

Quebrando os novos máximos de todos os tempos

A Bitcoin conseguiu recuperar todas as perdas sofridas após o retracement de 17% de 25 de novembro.

Embora mais de 200.000 comerciantes tenham sido liquidados durante a correção mais recente no mercado de moedas criptográficas, os investidores não esperaram muito tempo para entrar novamente em suas posições longas.

O pico de pressão na compra viu a Bitcoin Bank aumentar em mais de 22%. Passou de um mínimo de $16.200 em 26 de novembro para um novo recorde de $19.860.

Paolo Ardoino, CTO da Bitfinex, sustenta que a recente ação de preços pode ser atribuída à crescente demanda entre os investidores institucionais.

„A ascensão da Bitcoin hoje a um novo recorde histórico de $19.844 será cativante“. Ainda assim, de conseqüência muito maior são os fundamentos que dão combustível a este rally, notadamente a crescente presença de investidores institucionais. Bitcoin ainda está nascendo, e mesmo alocações relativamente pequenas na classe de ativos dos fundos de investimento podem ter um impacto sísmico“.

Se a pressão de compra continuar crescendo, a Bitcoin pode ser capaz de subir para $23.000.

Um castiçal de 4 horas fechado acima de $19.500 acrescentará credibilidade às perspectivas otimistas à medida que aumenta as chances desta potencial ascensão.

Os investidores de varejo não parecem dispostos a entrar no mercado com os níveis de preços atuais. Tal comportamento pode ser visto no número decrescente de novos endereços diários que entram na rede Bitcoin.

Este tipo de divergência entre os preços e o crescimento da rede pode ser considerado um sinal de baixa.

Normalmente, quando a rede encolhe por um período prolongado, os preços tendem a cair.

O não fechamento acima do nível de resistência de $19.500 poderia provocar uma venda entre os investidores. Se isto acontecer, a Bitcoin pode recuar para o nível de retração de 78,6% ou 50% Fibonacci antes que a tendência de alta seja retomada.

Estes níveis de suporte ficam em $18.800 e $17.800, respectivamente.
