Bitbot’s technology to serve crypto traders

Bitbot is a tech-savvy tool that could become very useful to cryptocurrency traders. It seeks to ease the trading process for its users.

A primary focus for Bitbot is user security. The tool will use Knightsafe to offer a self-custody solution, eliminating the typical risks associated with Telegram trading. Secondly, the team will develop anti-MEV and anti-rug solutions to help users protect their assets. These features enable traders to avoid bots that artificially pump transaction costs and block scam projects from their timelines. 

Additionally, Bitbot will use ultra-flexible wallet management powered by non-custodial API technology to provide an added layer of security to the users.

New traders can take advantage of Bitbot’s copy trading feature. This feature allows them to copy the trades of the strongest-performing wallets based on on-chain activities.

With Bitbot giving out $100k to 100 lucky winners, new traders can participate in this to help them build a capital base.

Bitbot’s presale surpasses $1.5m

The Bitbot presale is in the seventh stage and has already raised more than $1.5m. The 7th stage will end once the amount raised reaches $1.63m.

Velar’s native token to list on Bybit

  • Bybit will list VELAR, the native token of Bitcoin liquidity protocol Velar on April 3.
  • Velar’s listing on Bybit will be via an initial exchange offering and marks a major milestone for Bitcoin ecosystem.

Velar is set to launch its native token VELAR via an Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) on crypto exchange Bybit.

The Bitcoin liquidity protocol said in an announcement on Wednesday that VELAR will go live on Bybit on April 3 and will coincide with its Initial DEX offering.

Also notably, VELAR on a top tier crypto platform aligns with the project’s roadmap for accelerating its growth and adoption across the global marketplace.

According to a news release shared with CoinJournal, this is significant milestone for the DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin. In particular, Velar’s launch is expected to bolster liquidity and utility within the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.

Bybit’s position as one of the world’s top spot and derivatives exchange platforms will play a huge part in this, the platform noted in the announcement.

“As we prepare to go live on Bybit, one of the world’s top 3 crypto exchanges, with the listing of $VELAR token on April 3rd, we recognize the significance of this moment for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem,” Velar co-founder & CEO Mithil Thakore said.

The Velar chief added, “This marks a pivotal juncture where we’ll witness firsthand the interest and adoption of Bitcoin ecosystem projects on a global scale. It’s not just about our project; it’s about paving the way for countless others.”

The Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem continues to grow

Ethereum has over $50 billion in liquidity locked across DeFi protocols.

According to Velar, this is an outlook that suggests enormous potential for Bitcoin, the benchmark crypto asset. The upcoming launch offers an opportunity for Velar to tap into more than $1 trillion in dormant BTC capital.

The prospect means Bitcoin holders can leverage the opportunities, including yields, that the smart contracts industry offers.

VELAR’s listing on Bybit comes after Velar successfully launched Dharma, an automated market maker (AMM) and decentralized exchange (DEX). The platform has already attracted over 150k users, with users able to access features such as token swaps, liquidity pools, staking and yield farming.

Bitcoin continues to see unprecedented growth and a new era of DeFi, NFTs and gaming is seen as the next big thing. Velar has a first mover advantage as it seeks to bring more BTC into the DeFi landscape.

According to today’s press release, Velar will soon launch its V2 mainnet to introduce a Bitcoin-native perpetual DEX platform. The pioneering non-custodial platform will offer up to 20x leverage.

Judge rules SEC can proceed with case against Coinbase

  • Judge rules SEC vs. Coinbase case to proceed.
  • US District Judge Kathrine Failla however granted Coinbase’s motion on its wallet.

A federal judge has ruled that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against crypto exchange Coinbase will move forward.

US District Judge Kathrine Failla gave the ruling on Wednesday, with the court’s order denying Coinbase’s motion to dismiss the case.

Judge denies Coinbase motion

The SEC sued Coinbase in June 2023, alleging that the US-based company operated an unregistered crypto exchange and offered unregistered securities.

Judge Failla allowed the SEC’s case noting that the regulator had “sufficiently pleaded that Coinbase operates as an exchange, as a broker, and as a clearing agency under the federal securities laws, and, through its Staking Program, engages in the unregistered offer and sale of securities.”

The court however, granted Coinbase’s motion to dismiss SEC’s claims against Coinbase Wallet.

“Today, the Court decided that our SEC case will move forward on most of the claims, but dismissed the claims against Coinbase Wallet. We were prepared for this, and we look forward to uncovering more about the SEC’s internal views and discussions on crypto regulation,” Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal said in a comment posted on X.

“We also appreciate the Court’s understanding that technology innovations like Coinbase Wallet do not and cannot implicate US securities laws,” Grewal added.

Coinbase will now prepare to meet the SEC in court, the exchange’s legal officer said. According to court documents, the parties now have until April 19, 2024 to submit a proposed case management plan.

Crypto prices fell slightly following the news. Top altcoins like Solana, Cardano and Avalanche saw losses of more than 3% each.

Bitcoin slipped below $70k while Ethereum hovered to near $3,500.
