UK’s FCA Actively Probing Two Dozen Cryptocurrency Firms

Image
[ad_1] Despite the growing interest in cryptocurrency, not all ventures should be trusted by default. In the United Kingdom, an active investigation into two dozen cryptocurrency firms has been launched by the Financial Conduct Authority. Although this doesn’t mean any of these firms have done something illegal, it will be interesting to see what the investigation turns up. The FCA is on the prowl The cryptocurrency industry is undergoing some big changes. For their part, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority is looking for ways to crack down on illicit activity in the cryptocurrency industry. Cracking down on companies running illegitimate businesses is of the utmost importance. At present, the FCA is launching no less than two dozen investigations involving cryptocurrency firms. Additionally, seven whistle-blower reports were investigated in 2018. All of those reports pertain to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, although the exact nature of...

Sygnia Plans to Launch a Cryptocurrency Exchange in South Africa

Image
[ad_1] South Africa is quickly positioning itself as a go-to hub for cryptocurrency trading. To do so properly, new infrastructure will need to be launched. Sygnia , a well-known asset management company, is apparently looking to enter the cryptocurrency trading ecosystem. Its new venture is scheduled to launch in Q3 of this year. SygniaCoin is Worth Keeping an eye on Consumers all over the world are demanding exposure to cryptocurrencies. That is a lot easier in some regions compared to others. For instance, trading Bitcoin and altcoins is relatively easy in Asia, the US, and Europe. However, things are very different in places such as South Africa , where Bitcoin hasn’t made the biggest of impacts so far. That situation may come to change in the very near future. Bringing more cryptocurrency gateways to South Africa is one of the missions of asset management company Sygnia. As such, the company has announced its plan to launch SygniaCoin . Unlike w...

Wall Street Exodus Continues as Cryptocurrency Industry Becomes More Attractive

Image
[ad_1] Wall Street has always been an exciting place for anyone with financial aspirations. A lot of major firms make up the Wall Street as we know it today, but things have been changing fairly rapidly. Growing interest in cryptocurrency is motivating a lot of people to quit the world’s financial hub in favor of completely different pastures. Wall Street is a Temporary Stop For as long as most people can remember, Wall Street has been considered the pinnacle of the financial sector. A lot of people have high expectations of any firm and individual active in this industry, although it seems things are quickly changing in this regard. That can only be considered a good thing, especially when considering that there are other innovative markets out there. Although Wall Street has made many people a lot of money over the past few years, it may be in danger of being supplanted. The cryptocurrency industry is attracting so much attention these days, virtually anythi...

Bitcoin Price Watch: Currency Up to $7,500

Image
[ad_1] Bitcoin is now trading for roughly $200 more than where it stood yesterday, reaching the $7,500 mark in less than 24 hours. Prior, bitcoin had been trading for this amount during the late evening of Tuesday, May 29, only to fall to $7,400 and then $7,300 the following day. While it’s not worth breaking out the champagne just yet, investors are breathing a sigh of relief now that the market is showing small signs of recovery. Bitcoin has been under serious pressure over the last few days, with new resistance developed at the $7,600 level. One source predicted that the currency could have easily reached a low of approximately $7,040 before any bullish signs showed their heads, but now it appears those signs are emerging sooner than anticipated. One reason for the alleged spike could be the upcoming Russia World Cup . The event is slated to boost the bitcoin price back into the $8,000 range, or possibly even the $9,000 range due to specific financial restriction that may requ...

First Alpha Release of Trinity for Ethereum Is Live

Image
[ad_1] Scalability remains one of the biggest problems in the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology . Overcoming it successfully will warrant a very unique approach. For Ethereum, a major development is on the horizon. The first alpha of the Trinity client for Ethereum heralds a new era for this ecosystem. Trinity can be a Game Changer A few months ago, the cryptocurrency and blockchain community was introduced to a concept known as Trinity . It is a project which provides additional scaling solutions to specific projects. At first, it was only supposed to support the NEO network, which was considered a rather interesting choice. Given the centralized nature of NEO, however, extra scaling is more than welcome for this project in its current form. A few weeks later, news broke that Trinity would support Ethereum and Zilliqa as well. Improving on-chain scaling for blockchains and cryptocurrency projects will not be easy by any means. Although the Ethereum d...

The Blockchain Can Help Us Clean up Our Act

Image
[ad_1] If you think a lot of talk about blockchains is garbage, it’s only fitting to let you know that some of it is. Yet another use for blockchain technology has been revealed, and that’s to help us clean up our act. Literally. The superstar technology that’s putting food on the tables of the poorest households is also ensuring efficient waste disposal. Or at least, it soon could be. Every year, humans produce more than 2 billion tons of waste, and most of it ends up sitting around in landfills, or infiltrating the earth and polluting the oceans. Waste disposal is a serious problem, and it’s also an underexploited opportunity.   While most countries attempt to dispose of their waste by covering giant holes in the ground or burning off non-toxic materials, we’re damaging the environment and leaving money on the table at the same time. So, how can blockchains be put to good use? Monitoring the Garbage Lifecycle The blockchain’s ability to track...

German Government Raids Apartment, Confiscates and Sells $14M in Bitcoin

Image
[ad_1] Earlier this week, German mainstream media outlet Der Tagesspiegel reported that local authorities had raided the apartment of a criminal group and confiscated more than $14 million in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Cash, and Ether. Waited Out Hard Forks German law enforcement arrested members of a criminal group and raided their residences around June 2017. Almost immediately after their arrest, the criminals agreed to forfeit their private keys and access to their cryptocurrency wallets, surrendering 1,312 Bitcoin and 220 Ether. The German government commenced a sale of the stolen cryptocurrencies in November and sold the criminal group’s holdings throughout November and December. Because 1,312 Bitcoins were confiscated before July and October, the government was able to benefit from the Bitcoin Cash hard fork in July and the Bitcoin Gold hard fork in October, obtaining 1,312 Bitcoin Gold and 1,312 Bitcoin ...

29% of Germans Interested in Investing in Cryptos, Study Finds

Image
[ad_1] The recent downward spiral of cryptocurrency prices has done little to bring down the excitement around the industry in Germany, with 29% of the population viewing investing in cryptos as an interesting investment opportunity. A report by Deutsche Postbank has revealed that interest in crypto investing is especially high among younger citizens, with one in two Germans between 18 and 34 expressing interest in investing in digital currencies. The study was conducted between late February and early March on the heels of sharp price declines, further proving that Germans remain unfazed by the unpredictable and volatile nature of the industry. Independence From Established Financial Systems Men and women answered differently when asked what aspect of cryptocurrencies interested them most. However, independence from established financial systems was found to be popular across the board. Women polled higher in that regard, with 60% citing it as the most important asp...

Are Credit Card Payments Still Top Choice for Businesses in EMV, Crypto Currency World?

Image
[ad_1] More than ever, understanding the benefits of credit card payments is essential for businesses.

Let’s take a closer look at credit cards, EMV chip card technology, and cryptocurrency to see how they stack up for businesses.

Image
[ad_1] With so many cryptocurrencies benefiting from a brief spell of positive momentum, interesting things are bound to happen. In the case of Binance Coin, interesting things are taking place over the past 24 hours. Thanks to a solid 10.69% increase in the past day, the Binance Coin price has risen to $13.81 again.

Its value dipped below $8 in February, although it has been on the rebound ever since. Fast fo...

The Evolving Face of Software Multimedia

Image
[ad_1] Multimedia is an expression which has been used for some time. In simple terms, it refers to the use of more than one medium of expression, such as the use of a book and a film to tell the same story. In this article, our aim is to explore what multimedia means in terms of modern software, and where these examples are the most visible. Note that some of the most recent forms of gaming, such as blockchain gaming , don’t yet need multiple variants, and so these remain as potential areas of future exploration. Expanding Industries The idea of different forms of software multimedia has a basis in the different uses and strengths of the host devices. Some of the most common forms we have seen this in the past have been from video games. When a new game or property came out, for example, and the game had a lot of hype, it would make sense to guarantee as wide of a release as possible. This meant creating different versions for different devices, even though the wide disparity in...

Cardano Price: Positive Momentum Needs to be Solidified

Image
[ad_1] After what appeared to become a tough afternoon of trading yesterday, the markets have responded in a positive manner. Although there is still a feeling of unease to contend with, most of the top 15 currencies are in the green over the past 24 hours. Things look especially good for the Cardano price as of right now. A Solid Cardano Price Nudge With everything that been going on in the world of cryptocurrency since early 2018, the current gains should be treasured first and foremost. Any sort of positive momentum is usually pushed down immediately, and that trend was apparently forming yesterday afternoon. Even so, the crisis has been averted successfully, at least for the time being. Looking at the current Cardano price , things may remain in the green, at least until the weekend comes around. Over the past 234 hours, the Cardano price has noted a strong 4.9% increase, pushing its value above $0.217 once again. This is still a long way removed from the all-time high of late 2017...

2 Out Of The Box ICO’s That Will Surge in 2018

Image
[ad_1] As we approach and pass the halfway point of 2018 a look back shows a year that unfolded differently than many had anticipated. ICO’s and several top Cryptocurrencies are under the spotlight of regulators and central banks and the whole world is trying to figure out how Cryptocurrency will fit into finance and technology in today’s global economy. By the time we passed March the ¼ mark of the calendar year the count on ICO’s already reached and began surpassing 50% of the total of number of ICO’s in 2017. A lot of these projects looking like cheap replicants of projects past or extravagant perhaps unachievable propositions doomed to be marked as vaporware when no major progress takes hold according to the typical ICO project timelines you can usually find nestled into a well crafted shiny website ending in “IO.” Everyone’s “sharding” but how many will be successful, and even if many are, how many of those will gain heavy...

Just 2 days before the end of its ICO, DIWtoken.com launches its Alpha Version

Image
[ad_1] It has already been three weeks since the launch of DIW’s ICO with just one week left to go – just enough time to seize this rare opportunity and join this unprecedented project! The entire team has been on constant alert for months now with quite a few kilos of coffee consumed on many endless meetings and sleepless nights! It has been a unique and amazing experience thus far and everyone is looking forward to the next stage that the project is about to enter. There is a contrast of emotions though within the team. Excitement regarding its own project, but disappointment regarding many others and the industry in general. Unfortunately, ICO projects have made a bad name for the industry and for blockchain technology in general. Some have labelled cryptocurrencies , and especially ICOs ‘Ponzi schemes’, ‘fraudsters’, ‘mothers of all bubbles’, ‘criminal cyber-terrorism’, ‘greedy scams’ and many more. The underl...
