Reviewing the bull case for Monero as it completes the network upgrade

  • Monero completed its hard fork on Saturday for more network privacy and security

  • The native token has not reacted to the hard fork and was down on Monday

  • Monero remains on an uptrend to new heights

Monero XMR/USD successfully completed its network hard fork on Saturday. The privacy-focused blockchain said the network is now more private and efficient. The upgrade comes with Bulletproofs+ algorithms for faster transaction speeds. Introduced view tags on the network will also cut wallet sync times by up to 40%. 

The successfully deployed hard fork comes with the benefits of more security and privacy. The benefits are especially to boost its native token. Monero has been surging in anticipation of the upgrade and improved crypto sentiment. The token currently trades at $166, up from a low of below $100 in mid-June.

Despite the latest upgrade, the Monero token is yet to post robust gains. As of the time of writing, the token was down by 2.18%, with the trading volume up just 10%. The slowdown is occurring across the crypto sector. The indecision underlines that Monero had already priced in the positive news. The upgrade was already a long-awaited event. But how bullish is Monero?

Monero remains on a solid uptrend despite the boosts from the hard fork. The token is supported by the 21-day and 50-day moving averages, with the latter joining recently. The MACD indicator shows waning momentum, a suggestion of a potential retracement.

Concluding thoughts

Although Monero’s momentum is weakening, it is on a clear uptrend. The cryptocurrency is yet to reach the established resistance at $204. Any correction is an opportunity to buy. The latest upgrade could still be the boost needed to take the Monero token to the next level.

Shiba Inu breaks out from an ascending triangle as price pumps

  • Shiba broke past a key resistance over the weekend

  • Several developments are helping Shiba Inu 

  • SHIB is gearing to go higher, but before then, a correction could occur

Shiba Inu SHIB/USD was a top trending cryptocurrency on Monday. Momentum has been building for the cryptocurrency signaling increased buyer interest. The Monday jump takes SHIB above a key resistance as more investors circle. 

Several developments could explain the breakout in SHIB. One is the expected Shibarium TestNet. Previously, developers said that the anticipated Shibarum Public Beta testNet was set for launch in Q3 2022. The quarter ends in September. However, the community remained optimistic that the Testnet upgrade was set to launch between August 15 and 21. 

Another development that sparked interest in SHIB is the upcoming online game. Also known as Shiba Eternity, the game promises to help Shiba Inu shed its meme tag. To some other extent, Shiba Inu is also believed to be fueled by gains in Ethereum. Shiba Inu is Ethereum-based, and the anticipated shift to Proof-of-Stake may boost the token. The move is expected sometime in September. SHIB investors could be reading between the lines ahead of the upgrade.

Zipmex gets a three months moratorium extension to resolve liquidity issues

The Singapore High Court has given Zimplex crypto exchange a three months moratorium extension to resolve its liquidity issues.

Zimplex, a leading South Asian crypto exchange, has been going through tough times that resulted in an abrupt halting of client withdrawals last month before allowing limited withdrawals a week later. The exchange later filed for bankruptcy protection in Singapore seeking protection from creditors.

In its petition, Zipmex Group was requesting a six-month moratorium extension for its five entities: Zipmex Asia, Zipmex, Zipmex Thailand, Zipmex Australia, and Zipmex Indonesia to avoid any potential creditor lawsuits. However, the court has granted it just over three months to address its liquidity issues. The extension was extended to December 2.

Zimplex joins Vauld, which like Zimplex had halted withdrawals in July and received a three months moratorium extension earlier this month from the Singapore High Court.

Zimplex’s liquidity crisis

Zimplex liquidity crisis was triggered by its exposure to Celcius and Babel Finance, two crypto lenders that have been on the verge of insolvency. Both Celsius and Babel Finance have halted withdrawals to date.

Zimplex is currently working on resolving its financial crisis in the hope of re-enabling fund transfers between its Trade and Z wallets soon. In particular, Zimplex is presently seeking to raise funds and it recently said it signed a memorandum of understanding with two investors.

The Z wallet from which clients are currently not allowed to withdraw assets allows users to use the ZipUp+ feature to deposit crypto holdings and earn rewards. It also allows users to deposit and withdraw fiat currency and trade and store cryptocurrencies.
