Which news or event will trigger the next parabolic run?

We had some big news this year in the crypto space such as Tesla investing in Bitcoin and El Salvador making Bitcoin legal tender. Such news are often followed by big pumps in the market as adoption increases.

Which news or event do you expect to be announced in the next months that will ultimately fuel the push beyond a 100k Bitcoin? Will Apple and Amazon follow soon? More countries making Bitcoin legal tender? More ETFs being approved?

Or will we have more FUD? How often will China ban Bitcoin again? And how many Dog coins will there be in the top 10?

What would be the most bullish news you can image for the crypto space?

🚀🚀🚀 SMALLCAP GEM >100X “Offshift (XFT)”: Revolutionary #PriFi Synthetics Project on Layer-1 Ethereum, Mainnet Launch January 2022 (soooooon!!!!) 🚀🚀🚀

Disclaimer: I'm not a team member, the Offshift core team doesn't want to shill so I'm just doing it for them 😂

OFFSHIFT (XFT) Pre-Mainnet-Launch Project Overview

Offshift is building a privacy-centric ecosystem to enable, decentralized, fully private storage and transactions of crypto and real-world asset derivatives (synthetics). In addition, these private derivatives called zkAssets (i.e. zkBTC, zkETH, zkXAU, etc.) will provide access to DeFi applications within the Offshift ecosystem such as staking, lending & borrowing and others.

True decentralization is what separates Offshift from other privacy protocols that offer DeFi applications in combination with privacy. All other projects are, to a varying extent, centralized (requiring a trusted party) and are therefore vulnerable to regulatory pressure, which is expected to increase exponentially over the next years. Offshift is the original inventor of #PriFi and are the only truly hardcore, truly decentralized #PriFi project and the only #PriFi project that is immune to censorship. All other #PriFi projects are centralized or pseudo-decentralized spin-offs (DYOR!!).

To ensure complete decentralization all transactions will occur on Layer-1 Ethereum and in addition in future on Moonbeam (Polkadot). Offshift cannot be shut down under regulatory pressure and is therefore the only #PriFi project that will prevail in the long run. Private transactions on Layer-1 are a truly revolutionary technical feat that will bridge the gap between privacy on one hand and DeFi on the other. With Offshift you can have both.

The team is anon (they have to be), but the lockbox code is open-sourced on GitLab (rest of the code will be too), integrity is programmed and rug-pulls coded out of the equation. One member (Alex Shipp, CSO) is Offshift's only public face, lives abroad for obvious reasons and is a sort of crypto savant with huge biceps.

For Traders: 🚀🚀🚀🚀

- Only ~4 MM tokens currently in circulation, fully diluted 10 MM (Token emission schedule in Whitepaper)
- Easiest way to obtain XFT is through UniSwap v3 https://etherscan.io/token/0xabe580e7ee158da464b51ee1a83ac0289622e6be
- Hugely deflationary Tokenomics design: XFT’s are burned to create zkAssets, more value stored in ecosystem ====> skyrocketing XFT price 🚀
- Mainnet launch planned in January 2022 (is just the beginning!)
- Note: Price dipping after March 2021 was due to announced scope increase resulting in Mainnet delay. Currently the only way is up ☝
- 100X is nothing at all, that's just when things get interesting. A parallel private ecosystem that's going to create synthetics of major crypto, commodities, stocks etc. in a fully private ecosystem is going to draw major attention.

Honestly, there's enormous value created over the past 1.5 years. But different from other crypto projects, Offshift has adopted a very careful marketing strategy and only focuses on pumping out high quality updates and articles on grand platforms for establishing a respectable and long-term presence in the privacy space. As a result, there's huuuge untapped potential and I'm here to kick off the hype! Get on board early, frens, and reap the rewards! 🚀🚀🚀🚀

The Wall Street Journal has dropped a video on stablecoins. A lot of the video surrounds the Tether dollar reserve controversy. It’s notable that Cardano’s Djed solves this. https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-administration-seeks-to-regulate-stablecoin-issuers-as-banks-11633103156
The Biden Administration has announced they are investigating the prospect of regulating stablecoin providers like banks. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/stablecoin-regulation-cryptocurrency-banks-biden-treasury-bitcoin-circle-tether-binance-2021-10
Cardano users on twitter piece together that Charles was talking about visiting u/Pezesha_Africa (in regard to microfinance) in Kenya. This is big because Pezesha operates in countries with a combined population of over $300MM. https://twitter.com/thr33strikes/status/1444898320070086659
Crypto twitter users try to depict US Whitehouse comments out of context to fuel an economic doom narrative. However, if you listen to the whole press briefing, you will understand that these comments were based on a “what if” scenario involving the US debt ceiling somehow not being raised. https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1445059673401528328
The so-called “Pandora Papers” reveal globally widespread cases of wealth concealment by public officials and bring up the question of whether blockchains like Cardano should take this into account when dealing with nation-state regimes as partners. https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/
Remember! There is no mobile Daedalus wallet. There is no browser extension version of Daedalus. These are fakes! They will steal your ADA. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1445380773096398853

dcSpark releases some mockups from the experimental version of its upcoming Flint Wallet. The mockups seem to indicate that the wallet will allow for dApp interaction from hardware wallets. https://twitter.com/FlintWallet/status/1444902727956508674
Charles is interviewed in the Harvard International Review. https://hir.harvard.edu/charles-hoskinson-1/

The New York Times is now talking about the difficult balancing act the Fed has before it with high inflation and less than promising jobs data creating conflicting priorities. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/business/economy/fed-jobs-full-employment-inflation.html
Representative Tom Emmer clashes with SEC Head Gensler over the direction of crypto regulation. However, it’s unclear how much Rep. Emmer’s solution (his Securities Clarity Act bill) would solve the problem given that it only relieves issuers of securities regulation burdens after they have already complied with the “registration or exemption” hurdle. https://twitter.com/RepTomEmmer/status/1445465912375590913 https://emmer.house.gov/2021/7/emmer-introduces-legislation-to-provide-certainty-for-digital-assets-under-securities-law
Caitlin Long revisits the articles she wrote years ago about fears of circulation credit in crypto markets. Spoiler: it came and crypto did it to itself. https://twitter.com/CaitlinLong_/status/1446874905241210880
COTI is a licensed payment institution in Singapore. This could get very interesting given their status as the issuer of Djed and the ongoing Monetary Authority of Singapore Blockchain Challenge in which Cardano is a finalist. https://cotinetwork.medium.com/coti-lists-as-a-payment-institution-in-singapore-666c6fcaaab4
Goldman says Evergrande is nothing compared to the potential $8.2 Trillion problem with local government financing vehicles in China. https://www.forbes.com/sites/williampesek/2021/09/30/goldman-flags-82-trillion-threat-worse-than-china-evergrande/?sh=3296c9d515cc https://www.wsj.com/articles/beyond-evergrande-chinas-property-market-faces-a-5-trillion-reckoning-11633882048
Cardano isn’t wrong about Africa. It’s just first. Google is investing $1 Billion in African internet access over the next five years. https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/06/google-confirms-1b-investment-into-africa-including-subsea-cable-for-faster-internet/ https://twitter.com/ghostchainer/status/1445964578257395714
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce (cryptomom) delivers an opinion piece that investors should be allowed to make their own decisions without SEC paternalism. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/11/perspectives/sec-commissioner-investors-regulators/index.html
COTI has another AMA that reveals there may be more news soon for Djed. https://twitter.com/theCOTIinvestor/status/1447546724868935684
Heads up: scammers are posing as Yoroi support staff! https://twitter.com/YoroiWallet/status/1446554949782016009
Catalyst Fund 6 has 711 projects on the ballot! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1448015757216976903
Coinbase is launching an NFT market. How will this impact the CNFT scene? Coinbase tells us: “...initial launch will support Ethereum based ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards with multi-chain support planned soon after.” https://blog.coinbase.com/coinbase-nft-is-coming-soon-join-the-waitlist-today-for-early-access-cc7bac29fd72 https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/12/coinbase-is-launching-a-marketplace-for-nfts.html
Eric Rosengren (who recently left the Boston Fed) let’s us know that the Fed/MIT CBDC project is pretty far along and will release a working paper soon. This would obviously be impactful for all of crypto and for Cardano. https://youtu.be/ivqFo9C2Jdo?t=409
The first project that actually looks like it may one day be a virtual world launches on Cardano and it already has a community built parcel explorer. https://pavia.luiscarlos.pt/
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce (cryptomom) gave a polite but scathing speech at the Texas Blockchain Summit where she laid bare all the problems with the SEC’s current approach to crypto. After her recent opinion piece and this speech, it’s fair to say that she and SEC Chairman Gensler are in open war over crypto. How this gets resolved will determine the regulatory landscape for Cardano and all of crypto going forward. Sadly, Gensler is in charge and not vice versa. https://twitter.com/HesterPeirce/status/1448011388841037830 https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/peirce-2021-10-08
The Fed may begin tapering it’s Treasury and mortgage backed securities purchases in mid November. This is relevant for the whole economy including crypto. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/13/federal-reserve-releases-minutes-from-its-september-policy-meeting.html
Sounds like the Milkomeda sidechain is making good progress. https://twitter.com/NicoArqueros/status/1448447729689059332
Apparently, Putin kind of accepts that crypto might choose to exist. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-14/putin-defends-cryptocurrencies-amid-global-regulation-push
Don’t forget: today (Oct 15) is the October Mid-Month Development Update! https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1448715241961963520
Sounds like Binance was not allowing ADA withdrawals for some period of time. https://twitter.com/Katsumoto87/status/1449723293632634882
The Cardano Africa Tour has commenced with Charles popping up in South Africa. https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1449304264849993731
We got a nice Triple H update from Harrison/Hemsley/Hammond joined by Jan Müller in the October mid-Month Dev Update. We learned that we’ll have a maintenance upgrade toward the end of October and then PAB a few weeks later. This is extremely important since it will finally allow for the last bits of dApp buildout. The PAB is already available on the tesnet. The test dApp the team is using is an NFT marketplace. The team is watching as we see high loads around events like NFT drops. But, the network is reacting as expected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzdTyV5Jejc

In the Cap Innovation & Technology Initiative Fireside Q&A, Charles mentioned he is talking to Colossol Labs about the possibility of having the Mammoth DeExtinction Project take place on his bison ranch. There are probably some obvious NFT or tokenization use cases there. https://colossal.com/mammoth/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmuJFc5Qrr4
Three U.S. Senators ask Facebook to discontinue its Novi crypto wallet which just launched. https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/19/22735171/facebook-novi-diem-libra-calibra-cryptocurrency-digital-wallet-zuckerberg-senate https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/19/facebook-scales-back-its-crypto-ambitions-once-again/

Check out this medium article explaining the validator underlying the Spacebudz Market. It’s very elegantly and concisely explained if you have no Haskell/Plutus understanding. It’s even more interesting if you have a tiny bit of understanding of Haskell. https://spacebudz.medium.com/spacebudz-market-71e79d1bbf34

Fans of certain other Gen 3 blockchains are still getting hilariously worked up when they are confronted with the Messari chart on massive VC ownership of their blockchains. https://twitter.com/TamaraHaasen/status/1452924338047496193
The new IOG stake pool delegations are out. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1453041459477819398

Footprint Monthly Report Who's new in the crypto market competition in October?

Data source: Footprint October Monthly Report (https://footprint.cool/FekA)

Following a volatile September, the crypto market rebounded to an all-time high in October, with DeFi's TVL exceeding $250 billion and BTC pushing past $66K.

DeFi TVL ChangeData source: Footprint Analytics

But with all eyes on rising token prices, it was easy to miss some trends and announcements that look likely to impact the market in Q4 significantly.

DeFi will be getting more regulated as countries announce sweeping cryptocurrency policies
Bitcoin ETFs attract global attention, creating positive outlook as institutional investors buy in
Lending market lacks clear leader as Curve and MakerDAO vie for top spot
Numerous new public chains see big growth shortly after launching

Read how these developments and others will affect the crypto market in Footprint's October Monthly Report.

Bitcoin futures ETF triggers new high for BTC

With Grayscale announcing a series of plans to convert bitcoin funds into spot ETFs and digital asset investment firm Valkyrie listing its bitcoin futures ETF on NASDAQ, the price of BTC climbed from $48,000 to around $60,000. On Oct.20, BTC even reached a record high of $66,000.

Investors now have very span support for the thesis that institutions will gradually purchase crypto assets. This means we can imagine a world where banks make massive whale purchases of BTC and other tokens.

Two aspects bolsters the DeFi TVL's growth in October :

Lending market sees neck and neck competition among dominant platforms

The TVL ranking from Footprint Data shows that Aave and MakerDAO once surpassed Curve in the middle of the month to become the projects with the highest DeFi TVL, but quickly fell back behind.

As of Oct. 31, Curve was still ranked number one on the network with $19.2 billion TVL. Curve's TVL grew by 34% for the month of October and its token price reached $4.7, the highest in almost a year. MakerDAO also had a 37.68% TVL growth rate.

The data indicates that the lending market is highly competitive—with picking a favorite for market leader nigh impossible. In other words, now is not the time to put all your eggs in one basket in your DeFi lending play.

Small but numerous chains eat away at Ethereum’s monopoly

Since its inception, Ethereum held a near monopoly in the public chain space until Binance came onto the scene in February 2021, followed by Terra and Polygon.

Data from the past month indicate a clear trend towards further fragmentation rather than consolidation.

Footprint Data shows there are 11 public chains with a TVL growth of more than 100% in the past 30 days. Among them, Tron's growth rate was 1119%, bridging its TVL to $7.6 billion, making it the seventh chain. Other public chains such as Fantom, Arbitrum and Avalanche grew by more than 100%.

The result is that Ethereum’s market share went from 73% in August to 65% in October—and 8% drop in just 2 months.

New kids on the crypto block in October

Newly launched chains beat expectations in October.

The TVL of Secret grew 222% as tightening regulations around public chains make blockchain users refocus on privacy. PriFi—as it’s now called—will soon become the preferred choice for crypto, and Secret, the first Chain with privacy protection, will explode. (At least, so goes the reasoning of the chain’s supporters.)

Another chain that shouldn’t be ignored is NEAR. While its 86% growth is slow compared to the month’s other breakouts, the chain’s team recently announced a huge $800 million ecosystem development fund to support NEAR-based development projects, institutions and individuals. Aurora, a NEAR-based solution to scale Ethereum dApp projects, also completed a $12 million funding round in October.

Other public chains such as Sifchain, Harmony, and Celo each had over 200% growth in October and are also noteworthy. Although the new public chains are still nowhere near as popular as the Etherchain, market share continues to divide as they present new use cases and solve problems developers and users face with Ethereum.

Summary

With the introduction of national policies around crypto in the US, China, Australia and others in September, the market briefly became volatile but a record-breaking October demonstrated we’re still riding the bull for now.

On a more long-term trajectory, the token price drop and regulations were followed by institutional support and buy-in for blockchain. While controversial amongst blockchain enthusiasts, this has created a perception of reduced market risk among established financial players. Is this the news that banks and investment firms, tired of seeing their returns blown out of the water by crypto traders, were waiting on as their signal to jump in?

Crypto Daily News from ZBG Exchange

1. Market Wrap: Bitcoin Holds Above $60K After Fed Taper Announcement

Analysts see further upside despite lower trading volume.

Bitcoin traded in a choppy price range on Wednesday as traders reacted to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s plans to taper its $120-billion-a-month in bond purchases.
The unprecedented amount of buying by the Fed as part of its monetary stimulus plan known as quantitative easing (QE) provided a tailwind for financial assets, such as cryptocurrencies, deemed by the market to be risky. But lower liquidity as a result of the tapering could encourage investors to reduce their exposure to crypto and other risks.
Bitcoin’s price fell by about 5% during the announcement by the Fed’s policymaking Federal Open Market Committee in its post-meeting statement, but buyers were quick to step in around the $60,000 support level.
Analysts remain bullish on cryptocurrencies, but some have pointed to declining trading volume as a sign of slowing upside momentum in prices.
“We haven’t even seen an episode of FOMO (fear of missing out) yet, so the sharpest bull-run part of the rally is yet to come,” Alex Kuptsikevich, an analyst at FxPro told. “Despite BTC’s very sluggish performance in recent days, what still draws attention is the apparent support on dips,” Kuptsikevich wrote.

Latest Prices

Bitcoin (BTC): $62,997.19, -0.64%
Ether (ETH): 4,630.40, +2.78%
S&P 500: 4,660.57, +0.65%
Gold: 1,772.56, -0.83%
10-year Treasury yield closed at 1.596%
Bitcoin rally on low trading volume
Trading volume in the bitcoin spot market continued to decline despite bitcoin’s price rally over the past month. The chart below shows the seven-day average BTC trading volume, which is down almost $1 billion from the previous week, according to data compiled by Arcane Research.
But some analysts expect higher trading activity if BTC rallies through the end of the year.
“The trading volume has decreased substantially since bitcoin hit an all-time high on October 20, and it should increase considerably if bitcoin is to challenge its all-time high again soon,” Arcane wrote in a Wednesday report.

2. Coinbase Users Can Borrow Up to $1M With Bitcoin as Collateral

The crypto exchange’s customers can obtain cash via their PayPal or bank accounts.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is now allowing customers to borrow as much as 40% of their bitcoin value up to $1 million with no credit checks, the company tweeted on Tuesday.
The borrowing minimum and maximum amounts may vary by state, Coinbase added.
The loans will be issued with an annual percentage rate of 8%, and borrowers won’t be required to show credit checks, Coinbase said.
Customers can obtain the cash using their PayPal or bank accounts. They will need to make minimum $10 monthly interest payments, and Coinbase is offering flexible repayment schedules.
Coinbase said that it won’t lend or otherwise use the collateralized bitcoin but instead continue to hold it.
Earlier this year, Coinbase dropped plans for a crypto lending product after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission raised concerns. The lending product was supposed to power a crypto savings account that would earn customers a 4% annual percentage yield (APY), a return that’s multiples higher than most savings accounts at traditional banks.

3. Crypto Exchange Kraken Fails to List SHIB, Despite Promise

The San Francisco-based exchange may have underestimated the power of SHIBArmy.

Crypto exchange Kraken has failed to fulfill a promise it made on Twitter to list popular meme token shiba inu (SHIB) once the idea had received enough “likes,” upsetting its large community of supporters.
The San Francisco-based crypto exchange tweeted on Monday that Brian Hoffman, its crypto platform product lead, said Kraken would list shiba inu on Tuesday if the tweet received 2,000 “likes.” At press time, the tweet had received more than 77,000 “likes.”
However, as of Wednesday, SHIB is still not available to buy and sell on Kraken, and in a follow-up tweet, the exchange wrote that while they’ve heard SHIB’s supporters “loud and clear,” there is “more work” for them to do as they move through their listing review process. Kraken did not further clarify when or if it would list SHIB.
When reached for comment, Kraken said it had nothing to add beyond what it had already tweeted.
The event has triggered plenty of anger on social media, with Twitter user @Rogersnith10 tweeting: “Don’t tweet false promises in future it really doesn’t give any investors confidence in your platform, you have lost me as lifetime customer now.” The tweet has received almost 1,400 “likes.”
While SHIB’s trading volume is mostly concentrated on decentralized finance (DeFi) trading, it has been extremely popular among retail investors on major centralized exchanges. At the time of writing, Binance, Coinbase and OKEx are the top three exchanges with the most SHIB trading volume, according to CoinGecko.
SHIB was recently changing hands at $0.00006433, down 6.5% in the past 24 hours.

4. Federal Reserve to Taper Money Printing That Fueled Bitcoin Bets

The $120 billion of monthly bond purchases has provided a tailwind for bitcoin as investors see the cryptocurrency as a hedge against dollar debasement in the face of ultra-loose monetary policies.

The U.S. Federal Reserve announced plans to taper its $120-billion-a-month in bond purchases, taking the first step toward winding down a post-coronavirus money-printing program that has inspired many investors to buy bitcoin as a hedge against inflation.
The Fed said Wednesday in a statement that it will reduce the pace of asset purchases by $15 billion a month starting this month. Purchases of U.S. Treasurys will drop to $70 billion a month from $80 billion, while purchases of government-backed mortgage securities will decline to $35 billion a month from $40 billion.
Under the plan, the Fed will continue to wind down its purchases by $15 billion every month until the program concludes during the middle of next year.
“The committee judges that similar reductions in the pace of net asset purchases will likely be appropriate each month, but it is prepared to adjust the pace of purchases if warranted by changes in the economic outlook,” the Fed’s monetary policy committee, known as the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, said in the statement.
The asset purchases — a form of stimulus funded by newly created money, known as “quantitative easing,” or QE — have helped to more than double the size of the Fed’s balance sheet since March 2020, to about $8.6 trillion as of last week.

5. Binance Funds $116M Initiative to Grow French Crypto Ecosystem

The world’s biggest crypto exchange has teamed with nonprofit French Fintech to build a research hub and accelerator.

Crypto exchange Binance and French Fintech, a nonprofit focused on promoting financial technology in France, have launched an initiative to support the development of the French and European blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem.
As part of the initiative, called “Objective Moon,” Binance will provide €100 million ($116 million) to establish a research and development hub in France that will recruit talent from across Europe.
The money will also create a decentralized ledger technology (DLT) accelerator to help fuel startup growth and build out the ecosystem in France and Europe.
Lastly, an online education program aims to develop crypto and blockchain talent in the region. French Fintech and Binance have teamed with crypto security and infrastructure company Ledger on the program.
“At Binance, we recognize the quality of French and European tech, crypto and blockchain talent, and we are convinced that with the launch of Binance’s major operations and investment in France, we can significantly contribute toward making France and Europe the leading global player in blockchain and crypto industry,” said Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, founder and CEO of Binance, in the press release.
