The world of dApps is expanding rapidly, and knowing which ones to jump on board and which ones aren’t worth it can help you find the most value in this exciting technology. Here […]

The Philippines is an important country when it comes to cryptocurrencies. For the past few years, Bitcoin has made a positive impact on the local money transfer industry. This trend is only becoming more apparent, with the monthly volume holding steady near the $40 million mark. Bitcoin in the Philippines Anyone who has kept a close eye on Bitcoin over the years will know the world’s leading cryptocurrency makes inroads in many parts of the world. In the Philippines, the demand for Bitcoin has grown steadily over the past few years.

More specifically, the average monthly conversion total from pesos to cryptocurrencies has hit a new all-time high. In Q1 of 2018, the monthly average was $36.74 million, which is […]

Despite being a minority among crypto investors, just like anywhere else, women in India actually spend on cryptocurrency twice more than men do. A newly released survey also found that the majority of Indian crypto users live in big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. The study comes out while Indians expect new regulations within weeks. Also read: Indian Crypto Regulations Ready in July, Official Reveals Men Still a Majority Among Investors, Women Spend More Unsurprisingly, female crypto investors are a firm minority in India, and pretty much anywhere else on the planet. However, what sets Indian women apart from many other, beauty aside, is their willingness to spend more on cryptocurrency than their husbands and boyfriends. According to a survey carried out by crypto exchange Buyucoin, female traders in India spend more than Rs.140,000 on average (>$2,000 USD), […]

At press time, the father of cryptocurrencies is up to $6,100. That’s about $100 more than where it stood during yesterday’s afternoon hours. The currency seems to be incurring small changes each day: $100 here, $200 there, etc. Thus far, the coin is going through a rough patch of weak trading and low volumes, and is seriously tied to its present support level. Some heavy drivers are going to have to come through and really plow down the opposition if bitcoin is going to experience any serious change. In addition, analysts believe that nothing significant can happen in the bitcoin space until trading volumes are boosted with some new form of institutional capital. For example, investors are waiting on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve bitcoin ETFs, though it’s unclear how long this process will take. Bitcoin […]

Cryptocurrency exchanges in Japan self-regulate via the JVCEA. Unfortunately, it seems this governing body is losing two key members. CEOs of both Bitbank and bitFlyer are leaving the JVCEA this week. The JVCEA Loses Key Members It is intriguing how Japan can effectively self-regulate the cryptocurrency industry. In other countries, such a system will simply not work. Regulators want to keep their fingers on the pulse, especially where cryptocurrencies are concerned. The Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Association – or JVCEA – takes this role upon themselves with a lot of pride. As the name suggests, this entity is comprised of officials representing the various Japanese exchanges. That includes CEOs of Bitbank, bitFlyer, Coincheck, and so forth. Unfortunately, it appears two key members will be departing. That is not entirely surprising, as both of the CEOs represent companies under regulatory scrutiny by […]

Over the past few months, the overall sentiment among cryptocurrency enthusiasts has changed quite a bit. After the ramp-up in late 2017 and early 2018, things have taken a major turn for the worse across all crypto markets. As such, there are growing concerns over how people perceive this industry. Sentiment Remains Positive There are always different mindsets to take into account when it comes to cryptocurrencies. Some people only see things from a short-term perspective, whereas the experts are always keeping the long-term picture in mind. There are some notable differences between these two mindsets, although it seems there is an overall positive trend to take note of. In March, short-term sentiment fell on the positive end of the spectrum, according to a sentiment index shared on Reddit. While that may seem rather surprising, there was still a firm belief that […]

Blockchain security is quickly becoming a pressing topic. So much, in fact, that it is getting its very own conference in Las Vegas later this year. HoshoCon is meant to highlight issues and solutions pertaining to blockchain security. It’s just another sign of how this industry is maturing. Blockchain Security Matters at HoshoCon Given all of the focus on blockchain technology these days, it has become a lot more apparent that something needs to change on the security front. More specifically, there is growing concern over the many issues affecting blockchains and cryptocurrencies alike over the past few months. Some major bugs were discovered in newly launched blockchains, which is unacceptable in this day and age. One could argue most of these problems could have been avoided by thoroughly auditing said blockchains. There is some merit to that thought, as […]

Singapore’s welcoming stance toward cryptocurrencies could attract online threats to the country, according to a cybersecurity expert. Singapore Has Taken a Neutral Approach Unlike China, Japan, and South Korea, who have applied a firmer hand to the cryptocurrency market, Singapore hasn’t. As a result of its crypto-friendly environment, it runs the risk of attracting online threats, said Adam Meyers, vice president of CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm. In a report from Channel News Asia, Meyers is of the opinion that cybercriminals will see Singapore as a potential target. For example, in February, Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said there was “no strong case to ban cryptocurrency trading.” Notably, in May, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) did issue a warning to eight digital currency exchanges in the country to stop trading unregistered crypto tokens. Yet, even so, the deputy prime minister has said that […]

No one will or should be surprised to learn the cryptocurrency markets look anything but healthy at this stage. It has not been a good year for cryptocurrency, and expecting something to change seems a bit odd at this point. Most of the top currencies are still struggling with losses, albeit the Stellar price has begun noting positive momentum. Stellar Price Inches Upward It is always interesting to see how the cryptocurrency markets evolve these days. Given all of the negative momentum 2018 has brought, any sign of green is welcomed with open arms. Unfortunately, those moments usually don’t last long. Whether or not the Stellar price will fare differently this time around, remains highly unlikely. Over the past 24 hours, the Stellar price has risen by 1.68%. It is not a big change, although this is one of the […]

“When Binance?” is the refrain from impatient bag-holders in ICO Telegram groups. For investors eager to flip their tokens and move onto the next thing, a major exchange listing is the big event, and the sooner the better.

It’s also the most expensive. Also read: FBI Currently Investigating 130 Crypto-Related Cases Creating a Token is Easy.

Ardent crypto fans have noticed that a new king has taken over the crypto exchange scene – and he brought some friends. With Binance and OKEx having been the undisputed leaders – with the crown switching regularly between the two – the status quo had become virtually unchallenged. Huobi came in third, with Bitfinex, Upbit, HitBTC and Bithumb fighting for the other spots. That is no more, as according to data from CoinMarketCap, a new and relatively unknown crypto exchange from Malaysia has dethroned them. How it got there is the subject of much debate, with some calling it a genius move while others branding it as just another deceptive and unsustainable practice which will undermine confidence in the crypto industry in the long run.

Jack Ma remains skeptical of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and believes that they could be a bubble.

However, he is a blockchain proponent and believes that the time to disrupt traditional finance has come, and that blockchain is the technology that has the potential to do this. Ma was speaking at the launch of a blockchain cross-border remittance platform by Ant Financial, his Alibaba Group’s financial services arm. Betting On Blockchain Ma isn’t as enthusiastic about Bitcoin, and according to the renowned entrepreneur, it’s “not right to become rich overnight” as many in the crypto community did when the price of Bitcoin shot up.

In the case of the Reserve Bank of Australia, the current sentiment isn’t all that positive.
