Bitwise, a cryptocurrency investment company, has placed its index fund shares on the OTCQX market (OTC Markets Group), making them available for trading on traditional brokerage accounts. This was reported by The Block.

The shares of the index fund are quoted under the BITW ticker and are available for investors through brokerage accounts Fidelity, Charles Schwab, E*Trade and TD Ameritrade.

BITW tracks the Bitwise 10 Large Cap Crypto Index, which gives investors access to the ten largest crypto assets. As at 30 November, the fund had: 75% in Bitcoin, 13% on the air, the remaining 12% in Lightcoin, XRP, Chainlink, Tezos and other Crypto Bank cryptographic currencies. Index constituents are checked for liquidity and storage risks; the index is balanced each month.

„Index funds have become the dominant way for investors to enter the stock market. We think this will happen to the crypt currency as well,“ said Matthew Haugan, head of research at Bitwise, in a comment for The Block.

Grayscale funds, a competitor to Bitwise, have long been available on OTC markets. Grayscale also offers an index fund called the Digital Large Cap Fund (GLDC). When asked how BITW differs from GLDC, Haugan said that BITW is cheaper (2.5% compared to 3% of the GLDC management fee) and that it is a US security. „BITW is a trust in the US, GDLC is a LLC in the Cayman Islands,“ he said.

Grayscale is currently the leading investment company in the cryptovoltaic market with more than $12 billion in assets under management and more than $100 million in total assets under management of Bitwise.

Crypto analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe believes that the Bitcoin price is likely to undergo a significant correction before the next major rally can begin.

At the same time he sees the XRP course as having the potential to reach a new high soon.

The well-known Crypto analyst told his 87,000 Twitter followers that the Bitcoin Code could plunge up to 26% from its current level in the coming weeks. After that he expects a new Altcoin boom to start.

Bitcoin price could plummet to $14,000

On Monday, Van de Poppe found the right words on Twitter to celebrate the achievement of the all-time high (ATH) after 3 years and to congratulate all those who still held on to Bitcoin (BTC):

Congratulations to the majority of the crypto-twitterers, you have finally reached the break-even on your position. It’s been a tough three years… Very cool what’s happening today and funny that we are just at the beginning of this new cycle.

But at the same time, he warned his followers of an impending correction in the Bitcoin rate, which he believes could push the leading crypto currency back to a price of $14,000 per BTC.

I still believe that a correction is due at the BTC… One more correction towards $16,000 or $14,000 and then the real old season and party can begin.

XRP price with further upside potential of up to $1

Van de Poppe is also closely monitoring the XRP price to see where the third largest crypto currency by market capitalization might go next.

We can see that we have seen a very massive uptrend on several stock exchanges from $0.20 to even $0.80. We have made a nice breakthrough that allows us to define two support levels on the daily time frame, which is about $0.30 and about $0.45…

In his opinion, Ripple’s native crypto currency must hold the $0.635 level to prevent a major downward movement. If it succeeds in doing so, he believes the XRP price could head for a new high of around $1.

We can see that we are trying to break through the resistance range here. However, if we want to maintain support, we must hold above $0.635. If that is maintained, we could be heading for a new high, which could be around $1.00. With a loss of $0.635, markets should look to $0.45 to $0.47 as a new support zone.

• Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline overnight, which occurred after a period of immense strength.
• This took BTC to $18,000, which has long been a strong support for the crypto-currency.
• Where Bitcoin goes next will depend largely on whether it can hold above the support that exists at this important price level.
• One trader points out how aggressively this bearish move was bought – suggesting that Bitcoin may be able to see much more upside potential in the near future.

Bitcoin has shown some signs of immense strength in recent days and weeks, with buyers trying to take control of price action as the bears have been showing the first signs of vitality for weeks.

The coming days should provide some serious insight into where the market as a whole is headed next.

One trader is now noting that the crypto currency’s reaction to this sell-off suggests that a long-term price floor is being created.

He believes that this will allow BTC to recover and continue its rise, „undoing“ the first wave of over-eager buyers.

Bitcoin experiences its first major sell-off, reaching $19,000

Over the course of Bitcoin’s several-month uptrend, the crypto currency has shown some immense signs of strength and has experienced only fleeting sell-offs, each followed by an upward trend.

This recent slump does not appear to be an exception to this trend – the BTC price climbed to $17,650 before facing a „V-shaped“ recovery, which resulted in a significant further upward trend.

The asset is now in the process of recovering the gains lost as a result of this decline. And BTC may be able to make further gains in the near future.

Analyst: Bitcoin has reached a new price floor

A trader writes in a tweet: The reaction of the crypto-currency to this latest sell-off indicates that a new price floor has been reached which could allow BTC to rise significantly higher.

He now observes an upward movement and comments that the aggressive buying pressure during this recent rally was promising.

„What you should be looking at now is how aggressively this dip is being bought. I think the floor is passively asserting itself. First, overzealous buyers are ruined. This is a sign of that.“

The trends of the next few hours should give an insight into how Bitcoin and the aggregated crypto markets will behave this week.

„Questa è la campana a morto di Bitcoin. È stato divertente finché è durato. Arriviamo a 3.000 dollari“.

Un rialzista Brian Kelly di Fast Money della CNBC

Un rialzista Brian Kelly di Fast Money della CNBC ha detto oggi che i guadagni di Bitcoin Up potrebbero estendersi ad un anno intero dopo il dimezzamento – che molti membri di Crypto Twitter hanno immediatamente preso come un importante segnale di vendita.

In un’intervista del 12 novembre su CNBC, Kelly ha detto di ospitare Melissa Lee che l’aumento di investitori di alto profilo, e istituzionali, che si stanno muovendo verso Bitcoin (BTC) potrebbe significare un futuro rialzista per la cripto-valuta. Ha chiesto una previsione dei prezzi, ha detto invece:

„C’è molto spazio per il rialzo. La maggior parte dei guadagni che arrivano sono l’anno dopo il dimezzamento, e siamo a sette mesi di distanza dal dimezzamento, e il Bitcoin sta facendo quello che dovrebbe fare“.

Lee ha concluso: „Quindi potrebbero esserci altri cinque mesi di vantaggio piuttosto buono.“

Invece di essere contenti della copertura mainstream

Invece di essere contenti della copertura mainstream e delle previsioni dei prezzi rialzisti, gli utenti di Twitter sono stati veloci a scherzare, il che significa che l’encierro è finito, seguendo un tema che circola tra i Bitcoiners dal 2017: fare sempre il contrario di quello che suggerisce la CNBC.

„Se questi due stanno dicendo alla gente di investire, è ora di vendere“, ha detto l’utente di Twitter MrDecentralized.

„Questa è la campana a morto di Bitcoin“, ha detto Crypto Emporium.

„È stato divertente finché è durato. Arriviamo a 3.000 dollari“. Il fondatore dei Blockroots, Josh Rager, ha implorato la CNBC: „CANCELLA QUESTO TWEET.“ Altri hanno espresso i loro pensieri in memi, risposte di tre parole come „top is in“ – e disapprovazione per il fatto che il „free ride“ era finito.

Molte previsioni della CNBC sulla risorsa crittografica si sono rivelate poco affidabili nel corso degli anni. Nel marzo 2018, dopo che la Bitcoin è scesa sotto i 10.000 dollari, la rete ha twittato che si trattava di un „segno di acquisto“ per l’asset crittografico. Il Bitcoin è poi sceso sotto i 7.000 dollari entro aprile.

Al momento della pubblicazione, il prezzo di BTC è di 16.430 dollari, con un aumento del 4,9% nelle ultime 24 ore.

Un organisme de réglementation de premier plan explique l’importance de la crypto-monnaie dans le climat économique actuel et dans l’avenir des opérations bancaires au Sénat américain

Dans le cadre de son témoignage lors d’une audience tenue par le Comité sénatorial des banques, du logement et des affaires urbaines, le directeur général du Bureau du contrôleur de la monnaie (OCC) Brian Brooks a fourni des détails sur les efforts déployés par le Bitcoin Bank pour garantir que le Le système bancaire continue d’être une source de force et de soulagement pour les consommateurs, les entreprises et les communautés mal desservies pendant la pandémie.

Brooks souligne l’importance des innovations en matière de crypto-monnaie qui ont profité à des millions de consommateurs et d’entreprises américains

«Aujourd’hui, environ 60 millions d’Américains possèdent un type de crypto-monnaie, avec une capitalisation boursière totale de près de 430 milliards de dollars. Ces chiffres montrent clairement que ce mécanisme de paiement est désormais fermement ancré dans le courant financier.

La crypto-monnaie est devenue un mécanisme populaire pour envoyer et recevoir des paiements pour des biens et des services, car les transactions sont postées en temps réel et offrent commodité et sécurité. La crypto-monnaie décrit également des catégories de devises spécifiques de valeur, et l’augmentation de l’utilisation des pièces stables démontre le confort des consommateurs avec son utilisation. »

Alors que les Américains continuent d’adopter l’innovation et de nouvelles façons d’accéder aux services financiers, Brooks affirme que l’OCC a l’obligation de fournir des conseils réglementaires, de promouvoir l’innovation responsable et de soutenir le développement d’infrastructures financières sûres, prudentes et équitables.

À cette fin, Brooks détaille les mesures importantes prises par l’OCC en 2020 pour clarifier la réglementation au sein de l’industrie de la cryptographie

«Le 22 juillet 2020, l’OCC a publié une lettre interprétative clarifiant le pouvoir des banques nationales et des associations fédérales d’épargne de fournir des services de garde de crypto-monnaie aux clients. Les banques et les malfaiteurs nationaux et d’État fournissent depuis longtemps des services de garde et de garde, y compris des objets physiques et des actifs électroniques. L’OCC a spécifiquement reconnu l’importance des actifs numériques et le pouvoir des banques d’assurer la garde de ces actifs depuis 1998. »

Durante los últimos siete días, Grayscale Investments compró 17.100 BTC o 182 millones de dólares en monedas de bits usando los tipos de cambio actuales. La posición de la compañía en Bitcoin está ahora cerca de los 450.000 BTC con un valor aproximado de 4.700 millones de dólares.

El Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) es un vehículo de inversión muy popular y en 2020 el trust ha obtenido una cantidad masiva de BTC. Hoy en día, el GBTC tiene 4.700 millones de dólares en activos bajo gestión (AUM), según datos proporcionados porbt.com. La posición de Grayscale en bitcoin también se muestra en el sitio web de la empresa, con fines de transparencia.

Desde la fecha de creación del Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, el 25 de septiembre de 2013, hay 471.022.700 acciones en circulación y cada una de ellas tiene un valor de 0,00095519 BTC por acción. Esta semana, los defensores de la moneda digital han notado que Grayscale ha recaudado alrededor de 17.100 BTC o 182 millones de dólares usando los tipos de cambio actuales.

Los datos de Bybt.com muestran que el fideicomiso obtuvo el alijo de monedas de bits durante los últimos siete días y la posición agregada de monedas de bits del Crypto Bank es ahora de 449.900 BTC.

Los mercados de Bitcoin (BTC) han tenido un buen comportamiento en los últimos días y el dominio se acerca de nuevo al 60%. El porcentaje de cambio de la criptodivisa frente al USD durante el último año ha subido un 29% y durante los últimos 90 días, el BTC ha ganado más de un 16%.

Con 449.900 BTC en su poder, el Bitcoin Trust de Grayscale tiene el 2,14% del total de 21 millones de BTC. En cuanto a las monedas en circulación, BTC acaba de superar el hito de 18.500.000 en circulación. Esto significa que el monedero del GBTC representa el 2,43% del BTC actualmente en circulación.

Nadie sabe exactamente cómo Grayscale adquirió los 17.100 BTC, pero el CEO de Microstrategy Michael Saylor explicó los esfuerzos que su compañía hizo para comprar los 16k BTC que Microstrategy compró recientemente.

„Para adquirir 16.796 BTC, negociamos continuamente 74 horas, ejecutando 88.617 operaciones ~0,19 BTC cada [tres] segundos“, dijo Saylor. „~39.414 dólares en BTC por minuto, pero en todo momento estuvimos listos para comprar 30-50 millones de dólares en unos pocos segundos si teníamos suerte con un pico descendente del 1-2%“, añadió Saylor.

Varios defensores de la BTC también creen que empresas como Microstrategy y Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust que se apoderan de grandes cantidades de BTC son alentadoras para los inversores. El CEO de la bolsa de Bitcoin del Reino Unido, Coincorner, Danny Scott, twitteó el domingo que los „cimientos de la BTC son cada vez más fuertes“.

„62 días de Bitcoin terminando por encima de los 10.000 dólares“, escribió Scott. „El anterior fue 61 del 1 de diciembre de 2017“.

Efter den sidste bearish impuls den 3. september er BTC / USD rækkevidde mellem $ 10.000 og $ 11.000. Bitcoin-prisen er endnu ikke til at bryde disse rækkevidde-niveauer i de sidste tre uger. I øjeblikket er BTC i et stramt interval mellem $ 10.620 og $ 10.800.

BTC / USD – Dagligt diagram

Siden 24. september handler The New Spy i et stramt interval efter den seneste opadgående flytning til de tidligere højder. Tyrerne har gentestet $ 10.800 modstanden ved fire lejligheder for at bryde den, mens bjørnene har testet $ 10.620 igen ved to lejligheder for at bryde den. Den nuværende modstand kan let brydes, hvis BTC giver en stærk afvisning inden for et tæt område. En stærk afvisning vil drive prisen til at bryde modstanden på $ 10.800, og momentummet vil strække sig til at gentest eller bryde $ 11.000. BTC genoptager opadgående momentum, hvis prisen bryder modstanden på $ 11.000, og momentum opretholdes over den. Men hvis prisen bryder den nuværende support på $ 10.620, falder mønten skarpt til $ 10.260. I mellemtiden vil sidelæns bevægelse fortsætte med at blive hængende, hvis nøgleniveauerne forbliver ubrudte.

Bitcoin er „Just One Big Ponzi Scheme“ af Dave Portnoy

Dave Portnoy er en populær berømt dagshandler og grundlægger af Barstool Sports. Ifølge rapporter om, at han købte $ 1,25 millioner dollars i Bitcoin, selvom han troede, at det var „bare en stor Ponzi-ordning“. Portnoy fremsatte en kategorisk erklæring om kryptohandel som: „Du kommer ind, og du skal bare ikke være den, der holder posen.“ Han begyndte at handle på Bitcoin (BTC) markedet i midten af ​​august efter sin diskussion med milliardæren Winklevoss tvillinger.

Dave Portnoy har dog en dårlig oplevelse, da hans Chainlink-investering fik et skarpt hit, på hvilket tidspunkt Portnoy annoncerede sin tilbagetrækning fra kryptoinvestering. Efter at den berømte erhvervsdrivende trak sig ud, sagde han til sig selv: ”Jeg kommer tilbage til Bitcoin. Jeg ved ikke hvornår, ”sagde han. „Jeg har egentlig ikke meget væske – alt er investeret,“ rådede Pompliano Portnoy om, at når han kommer tilbage, snarere end at handle, skal han have Bitcoin indtil udgangen af ​​næste år:
