Concordium lists native token on BitGlobal and Bitfinex

Concordium, a public, proof-of-stake blockchain with a built-in identification layer to meet the regulatory requirements, has officially listed its native token CCD on leading crypto exchanges Bitfinex and BitGlobal, Invezz learned from a press release.

Trading opens on February 10 and 11

CCD token trading will open on Bitfinex starting at 10:00 AM CET on February 10, 2022. Trading on BitGlobal will open on February 11, 2022 at 10:00 AM CET.

Suite of advanced trading features

Founded a decade ago, Bitfinex is one of the world’s oldest crypto trading platforms. It offers a suite of highly advanced and diversified trading features, charting tools, and unparalleled support. BitGlobal offers a user-friendly digital asset ecosystem with increased liquidity and tighter security measures of international standards.

BitGlobal is designed to enable every user to trade, participate, or contribute to the digital assets ecosystem with ease.

Trade CCD for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether

Users of both exchanges will be able to exchange CCD for BTC, ETH, and USDT. At first, the exchanges will only support spot trading of the token. The blockchain will bring CCD to more exchanges moving forward, thereby increasing the liquidity of the token and enabling its wider utilization.

Key to blockchain interaction

As the native token of the Concordium platform, CCD is key to blockchain interaction. It can be used to pay for applications via the blockchain’s technology and to pay transaction fees to the validator nodes that secure the network and process transactions. These fees are euro-stable, known in advance, and deterministic.

Classified as payment token by regulator

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority has classified CCD as a payment token. This means it can be used to settle transactions on-chain, for collateralization, and for all other use-cases applicable in Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

The CCD token will power different ecosystems built on Concordium, lending a special focus on innovation and regulated DeFi as well as decentralized fintech.  

A fair governance structure

The Concordium Foundation will develop and implement a fair governance structure that allows the project to evolve over time. Ultimately, CCD holders will possess the right to vote on-chain in Concordium’s decentralized governance.

Laut einem Bericht plant BlackRock, den Krypto-Handel zu unterstützen

  • Die in New York ansässige Investmentmanagementgesellschaft wird ihren Kunden den Handel mit Krypto-Assets über ihre Aladdin-Plattform ermöglichen
  • Einige der Schritte, die das Unternehmen in den letzten Tagen unternommen hat, waren ein Hinweis auf sein Interesse am Kryptowährungssektor

BlackRock, die weltweit größte Vermögensverwaltungsfirma, möchte Krypto-Handelsdienste anbieten, basierend auf einem Bericht von CoinDesk, in dem drei unbekannte Parteien zitiert werden, die Bescheid wissen.

Eine Quelle, wie CoinDesk detailliert ausführte, sagte, dass der Vermögensverwalter seine Aladdin-Anlageplattform nutzen würde, um dasselbe zu unterstützen. Der Name der Plattform ist eine Zusammenziehung von Asset, Liability, Debt and Derivative Investment Network.

Das Unternehmen, das im vergangenen Monat ein Vermögen von 10 Billionen USD verwaltete, wird neben dem Krypto-Handelsdienst auch eine Kreditfazilität einführen. Ersteres ebnet den Weg für Kunden, sich mit den Krypto-Assets als Sicherheit Geld von der Firma zu leihen.

Die zweite Quelle merkte an, dass die Anlageverwaltungsgesellschaft erwäge, „mit direktem Krypto in die Praxis zu kommen“. Die Quelle fügte hinzu, dass BlackRock immer noch seine Anbieteroptionen erkunde.

Der CoinDesk-Bericht zitiert eine dritte Quelle, von der angenommen wird, dass es sich um eine Gruppe von etwa 20 Personen in der Firma handelt. Die Gruppe behauptete, dass BlackRock sich dem Raum anschließen wollte, nachdem sie gesehen hatte, wie andere Unternehmen in die Aktion einstiegen und Gewinne erzielten.

„Sie sehen den ganzen Fluss, den alle anderen bekommen, und wollen auch damit anfangen, etwas Geld zu verdienen“, sagte die Quelle gegenüber CoinDesk.

Keine Quelle bestätigte jedoch das genaue Datum, an dem der Krypto-Handelsdienst eingeführt werden würde.

Der Schritt könnte dazu beitragen, die institutionelle Akzeptanz zu fördern

Zu seinen Kunden zählen insbesondere Stiftungen, Family Offices und offizielle Institutionen wie Staatsfonds, öffentliche Pensionskassen und Regierungsbehörden. Die Entscheidung, in den Sektor vorzudringen, wird daher wahrscheinlich dazu beitragen, die Akzeptanz von Krypto bei institutionellen Anlegern voranzutreiben.

BlackRock deutet seit über einem Jahr einen Einstieg in den Krypto-Sektor an. Ende 2020 bestätigte der Vorstandsvorsitzende des Unternehmens, Larry Fink, dass auf der Website häufig nach Bitcoin gesucht wurde. Drei Monate nach Beginn des Jahres 2021 enthüllte eine SEC-Einreichung, dass die BlackRock Global Allocation Bitcoin-Futures hielt.

Bis Juni hat das Unternehmen auf seiner Karriereseite eine Stellenausschreibung für einen „Engineering Lead for Distributed Ledger Technology“ geteilt.

In diesem Jahr reichte das Unternehmen einen Antrag für ein ETF-Produkt ein, das Unternehmen im Blockchain-Sektor verfolgt. Es hat auch einen beträchtlichen Anteil am Business-Intelligence- und Unternehmenssoftware-Hersteller MicroStrategy, der sich seit einiger Zeit auf einer Bitcoin-Sammeltour befindet.

Doge Killer is declining, shed 6% of its value in 24 hours: Time to buy?

After hitting an all-time high of over $7,000 in May 2021, Doge Killer is coming down. The dog-themed meme coin lost another 6% today. Will this trend be sustained or is the dip just temporary?

If you’re looking for answers, you’ll get them from this short article, which will also tell you all about the best places to buy Doge Killer now.  

Top places to buy Doge Killer now

As LEASH is such a new asset, it’s yet to be listed on major exchanges. You can still purchase LEASH using a DEX (decentralised exchange) though, which just means there are a few extra steps. To buy LEASH right now, follow these steps:

1. Buy ETH on a regulated exchange or broker, like eToro ›

We suggest eToro because it’s one of the world’s leading multi-asset trading platforms, an exchange and wallet all-in-one with some of the lowest fees in the industry. It’s also beginner-friendly, and has more payment methods available to users than any other available service.

2. Send your ETH to a compatible wallet like Trust Wallet or MetaMask

You’ll need to create your wallet, grab your address, and send your coins there.

3. Connect your wallet to the Uniswap DEX

Head to Uniswap, and ‚connect‘ your wallet to it.

4. You can now swap your ETH for LEASH

Now that you’re connected, you’ll be able to swap for 100s of coins including LEASH.

What is Doge Killer?

Doge Killer (LEASH) is a token in the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem. It is one of many dog cryptos that took the crypto space by storm in 2021. Others are BabyDoge, Drunkdoge, JIND, LAS, and LASM.

Doge Killer was originally conceived of as a rebase token. Its creators then decided to change track and limit the total supply to 107,646 tokens.

The extremely low supply explains the high price. It was trading at around $1,772 at the time of writing, down from its stunning all-time high mentioned above.

Should I buy Doge Killer today?

LEASH is a unique dog coin because typically, dog-themed cryptocurrencies have an artificially high supply. They use it to motivate investors to buy the token and pump the price to one dollar or one cent.

On the other hand, the creators promise holders “lucrative rewards”, but don’t specify what these will be.

Despite its unique premise, it can be extremely volatile, so be careful with any investment you make.

Doge Killer price prediction

Digital Coin Price makes the astounding prediction that LEASH’s price will go up to $2,482 this year. In 2025, it will be trading for just under $4,000. In 2027, its price will be $4,640. Two years later, one LEASH will be worth $7,504.

This may seem like impressive growth, but consider that according to this forecast, Doge Killer will not reach its ATH of 2021 before 2029!

Zynga plans to get into NFT-based gaming

  • The company wants to expand its blockchain team to 100 and is currently hiring personnel in senior positions.

  • The NFT-gaming space is seeing increased interest across the globe, with the explosion within the broader NFT ecosystem over 2021 likely to continue this year. 

Mobile gaming giant Zynga is reportedly eyeing a huge entry into the blockchain space and the non-fungible token (NFT) space, according to a new report published on Wednesday.

The online gaming platform is expected to launch an NFT-based game as well as seal some exciting partnerships among other expansion plans, Axios reported.

Zynga is also said to be looking at expanding its blockchain staff, currently at 15, to about 100 by the end of the year.  By this time, the gaming company is expected to launch an NFT-based game targeting whales- most likely a yield-focused offering.

The gaming project will not feature known Zynga brands such as Farmville, sources said.

On the expansion move, Matt Wolf, Zynga’s head of blockchain, said the firm is looking to recruit senior staff to fill positions related to the upcoming project.

While the outlook wasn’t very clear at the moment, the company is exploring the space and is confident of jumping into the space, Wolf added in comments quoted by Axios.

The NFT market saw more than $20 billion in sales in the past year and the entry of major gaming providers like Zynga could catalyse more investment in the sector.

BlackRock to offer crypto trading services to its customers

Global asset management firm BlackRock is reportedly set to offer digital asset trading services to its investors through the Aladdin portfolio management system.

BlackRock, a global investment asset manager with over $10 trillion worth of assets under management, is reportedly readying itself for a dive into crypto trading services.

The company, CoinDesk reported on 9 February, plans to have the new service available via its Asset, Liability, Debt and Derivative Investment Network (Aladdin).

According to sources familiar with the matter, and cited by CoinDesk, investors in the asset manager will get access to the crypto trading offering as well as a collateralized borrowing facility.

While BlackRock is eyeing this service for its clients, the timing and potential achievement of the project do not come as a surprise.

BlackRock’s interest in crypto has seemed to grow rapidly since news that a fund managed by the firm had bought the CME Bitcoin futures product. That was in March last year and in June signaled further interest in the crypto space by advertising a blockchain expert position for the Aladdin service.

The company then took another step into the crypto ecosystem when it submitted an application for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

According to the filing, the ETF index will track major blockchain technology companies across the US and across the world.
