    The Fear Stays in the Market

    In order to find the sentiments and general mindset of the market, developers have created a tool known as Greed and Fear Index. This tool uses many different features such as volume, momentum, social media trends, and other things to rule the sentiments out of 100. When the index is closer to zero, it is fear in the market and when it is close to 100, it means there is greed in the market.

    Today, with the BTC dropping so hard, the index currently stands at the level of 34. Compared to the last week, this index is currently very good (It was at 18 last week and 9 in the last month). This means that the people are highly skeptical about taking positions in the market as they fear losing their investments.

    What has been up in the crypto space?

    The cryptocurrency market is one of the most – if not the most – dynamic and volatile asset market. The volatility and riskiness of the market is what makes it appealing to a major chunk of investors. The bull run of 2021 has also contributed immensely into the growth of the cryptocurrency market. The high risk of the market is translated into high returns and the potential – not just in terms of returns – of the blockchain technology has also been gaining popularity.

    The cryptocurrency market continues to operate in a slight informal manner around the globe. As the technology of cryptocurrencies is novel, regulators are unsure about how to navigate the crypto space. Here are some of the major developments that occurred throughout the previous month:

    El Salvador becomes the first country to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender. The president NayibBukele is a staunch advocate of cryptocurrencies and plans on incorporating cryptocurrencies in the economy. The president had also been in talks with the national oil and gas company of the country for cryptocurrency mining. The IMF did not take well to the involvement of cryptocurrencies in the country. However, El Salvador is in discussion with the IMF to reach a consensus. Paraguay may become the second country to legalize Bitcoin. Lawmaker Carlos Rejala is leading a bill for this purpose.

    Coinbase found itself amidst a class action lawsuit as six cryptocurrency owners went to court for having their accounts disabled without any reason which resulted in losses. The complaint was filed in San Francisco with compensation of $5 million. Kraken has been debating its direct listing after the subpar performance of Coinbase. An IPO may be more likely for the exchange in late 2022. Kraken has also disabled margin trading for US residents.

    UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued multiple warnings to Binance regarding its lax anti-money laundering regulations. The FCA has also banned the British wing of the exchange, Binance Markets Limited, which has not registered with the financial watchdog. Although the ban cannot stop users from trading on the Binance app. Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has also issued warnings to Binance as the exchange has not yet registered in the country.

    The venture capital behemoth Andreessen Horowitz raises its biggest yet cryptocurrency fund worth a staggering $2.2 billion. The firm’s Crypto Fund III will be dedicated towards proving that the blockchain technology is revolutionary. The Fund will invest in all sorts of crypto projects – new and old. Blockchain Capital’s venture fund has also raised $300 million for cryptocurrency projects, primarily from Visa and PayPal.

  • The Highly Anticipated Crypto Market Following the FinTech Payment networks Go live with digital currencies

    The Highly Anticipated Crypto Market Following the FinTech Payment networks Go live with digital currencies

    PayPal and Visa allow their users to deal with their daily transactions in cryptocurrencies.

    We have seen that the adoption of cryptocurrencies is rapidly growing. In recent times, financial payment services have begun to allow digital currencies to be used for daily use and to hold crypto assets.

    Elon Musk, who has been one of the biggest crypto enthusiasts, recently announced that his EV firm will also accept Bitcoin as payment for Tesla cars. Now, PayPal and Visa, both the payment services giants have announced that they will support the use of crypto assets.

    What’s Next?

    We already knew that PayPal was in line to support cryptocurrencies in form of payment. Now, with the recent announcement, US users can do just that with its “Checkout with Crypto” feature.

    As per Reuter, PayPal is set to move one step forward in opening crypto accounts for users. The US consumers will now be able to pay at millions of its online merchants globally. With this move, we can foresee the future of e-commerce built upon digital payments.

    Users holding cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin in PayPal digital wallets will be able to convert their holding into fiat currencies to make online purchases. The company believes that it will be serving almost 29 million merchants on its platform. For the first time, we will see digital assets used as smoothly as credit and debit cards online.

    Moreover, Visa is also ready to roll the crypto plan soon. Visa will allow the use of digital coin, USD Coin, for transaction payment. This is another big acceptance of crypto in the mainstream payment world.

    While telling Reuters, Visa Inc. mentioned that it has launched its pilot program with payment and crypto platform Crypto.com. The financial services corporation intends to offer more partners in the second half of this year.

    The USD Coin (USDC) is a stable coin that is pegged again the US Dollar. Visa’s step toward crypto adoption is one of the most highly anticipated decisions of the present. We can see how finance firms are attracted towards cryptocurrency including BlackRock, Mastercard, and BNY Mellon. The companies have realized that cryptocurrencies are a great investment opportunity and more than that a better payment processing system.

    Elon Musk’s is an inflection figure in the world business and investors keenly follow him, whether it’s the stock market or crypto market. Last week, Musk said that customers can buy its electric vehicles with bitcoin. This is a great push for cryptocurrencies and we will see more companies adopting crypto in the future.

    This move from Musk is a strategic move for investment and from this Tesla can make double the amount of money with the sale of EVs. Because Tesla will not fix the price of Bitcoin against the price of the car in USD. It will be just like a free-floating exchange rate.

    Bitcoin (BTC), the crypto deity is trading just over $59K and heading back towards a record-high of $61K. The future awaits much hyped and highly forecasted Bitcoin prices.
