Australia Crypto ATM Count Rises Despite Tightening Regulations

Data from Coin ATM Radar showed there had been 95 crypto ATMs removed from the worldwide count so far in the new year. Crypto ATM installations in Australia, however, have skyrocketed.

The development is significant, especially when considering regions like El Salvador have vowed to turn the country into a regional crypto powerhouse. There are only 212 ATM crypto ATMs in El Salvador though, making up just 0.5% of the total.

With 219 cryptocurrency ATMs, Australia is just slightly ahead, with a 0.6% share of all crypto ATMs.

This is despite the fact that tighter cryptocurrency regulations in Australia are set to be introduced in 2023.

Australia Improves Despite Stricter Regulations

Reports noted Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese asserting last month that his administration is improving the regulation of crypto services. Meanwhile, the government is set to publish a consultation paper early in 2023 to determine which digital assets will be subject to legal regulation. Additionally, a new custody and licensing regime could soon make its way. Initial consultations on the country’s payments system were rolled out by the government and are open for comments until Feb. 6. Senator Andrew Bragg’s September release of the Digital Assets (Market Regulation) Bill 2022 could also decide the direction of the country’s crypto policy per experts.

Meanwhile, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has been making changes to safeguard investor interest. In December, the agency sued the arm of Finder.com for offering unregistered financial services relating to cryptocurrency.

El Salvador Falls Behind in Crypto ATMs

With 33,555 ATMs as of Jan. 1, 2023, the U.S. is in the lead controlling 86.9% of the global crypto ATMs. Canada came in second at 6.6%, while Australia overtook El Salvador’s fourth-place spot. With 226 ATM installations, Spain came in third place in 2022. 

Meanwhile, El Salvador continues to prioritize the widespread adoption of Bitcoin despite suffering significant portfolio losses during the crypto winters. BeInCrypto recently reported that the country’s students are learning about Bitcoin in their classrooms as part of the curriculum. However, even Poland is ahead of El Salvador with crypto ATMs at 222 locations. The latter has hit the sixth spot for the year.

That said, Coin ATM Radar notes that the world is adding 6.6 ATMs daily on average. Europe follows North America in terms of continents, accounting for 3.9% of all crypto ATMs worldwide. Only 0.8% of the global deployments are in Asia.

Good News For FTX Customers: The Bahamas Seized $3.5 billion in Assets

Good News For FTX Customers: The Bahamas Seized $3.5 billion in Assets

This is news that will no doubt please the customers and creditors of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto empire. 

The authorities of the Bahamas, where the disgraced former emperor of the crypto space lived and where FTX was headquartered, have just announced that they have seized significant assets from the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.

The Securities Commission of The Bahamas says it seized these assets as soon as Bankman-Fried, known by the initials SBF in the crypto industry, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for his empire on November 11.

The regulator explains having seized the assets of FTX for security reasons so that they do not disappear mysteriously. 

Based on information provided by Sam Bankman-Fried to the regulator concerning the cyberattacks that took place on the systems of FTX, “the Commission determined that there was a significant risk of imminent dissipation as to the digital assets under the custody or control of FTXDM to the prejudice of its customers and creditors,” the authority said in a press release.

$3.5 Billion

“As a result, in the exercise of its regulatory powers, the Commission requested and obtained a Court order to safeguard the digital assets owned by or under the custody or control of FTXDM or its principals by transferring them to secure digital wallets under the exclusive control the Commission.”

On 12 November, the regulator said it, therefore, took the action of directing the transfer of all digital assets of under the custody or control of FTX valued at more than US$3.5 billion, based on market pricing at the time of transfer, to digital wallets controlled by the Commission for safekeeping. 

“The digital assets transferred on 12 November 2022 to digital wallets under the exclusive control the Commission are being held by the Commission on a temporary basis, until such time as The Bahamas,” the regulator says.

It added that: “Supreme Court directs the Commission to deliver them to the customers and creditors who own them.”

The regulator, however, warned that “while certain token protocols may require the burning of old tokens and the simultaneous minting of new replacement tokens to effect transfer, in no case, did the process involve the creation of any additional tokens.”

The Bahamian regulator’s announcements are good for FTX’s customers and creditors, but it is not certain that they will recover this money immediately because FTX’s bankruptcy is managed in the United States according to American law, while there is a liquidation of the company in the Bahamas. 

In addition, the regulators have made it known that there was comingling of FTX’s customers’ funds with those of FTX and its sister company Alameda Research, a hedge fund that also acts as a trading platform for institutional investors. Alameda was also part of Bankman-Fried’s empire.

Allegations

FTX, which was founded in May 2019, was unable to meet withdrawal requests from worried and panicked customers. Bankman-Fried is accused of loaning $10 billion in funds from FTX clients to Alameda Research when the two companies were supposed to be independent.

The former trader is facing a series of criminal and civil charges from regulators. SBF was extradited to the United States on Dec. 21 by the authorities of the Bahamas.

He was released after his parents, both law professors at Stanford, signed a $250 million recognizance bond pledging their California home as collateral. Two other friends with significant assets also signed, according to news reports.

“Bankman-Fried was orchestrating a massive, yearslong fraud, diverting billions of dollars of the trading platform’s customer funds for his own personal benefit and to help grow his crypto empire,” the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleges in its civil complaint.

Following the government’s abrupt policy reversal, cases are rising among workers, customers and suppliers ahead of the Lunar New Year

After three years of “zero-Covid” economic disruption, many Chinese businesses awoke to a happy new reality in December: No more restrictions.

But before they can take advantage, business owners in the world’s second-largest economy say, they have to get their supply chains in order after a topsy-turvy time capped by this abrupt reversal—and withstand a wave of Covid-19 cases sweeping through employee ranks.

This new year brought good news for Polygon [MATIC], which hinted that 2023 has a lot in store for the network. Vendible announced that it was launching the Ible City utility NFT Series IV on Polygon.

Ible City is a collection of 16,000 land plots in Vendible’s virtual DAO, of which 7,000 have been sold out. Ible City NFTs are released as Cross-Network Fungible Tokens in six series over six networks.

Not only this, but several of the NFT collections, such as y00t revealed that they will bridge to Polygon during the first quarter of 2023. Interestingly, existing Polygon projects, such as Aavegotchi, have announced that they will officially remain on Polygon this year.

Well, Polygon’s growth in the NFT space was evident, as Santiment’s chart revealed promising metrics. According to the data, Polygon’s total NFT Trade Count and Trade volume in USD registered a spike over the last week.

How many MATICs can you get for $1?

When will MATIC respond?

MATIC’s performance on the price front did not correspond to the updates, as it registered a decline of more than 5% in the last seven days. However, it was showing slight signs of recovery as its price increased by 0.59% in the last 24 hours. At press time, the token was trading at $0.7551 with a market capitalization of over $6.5 billion.

A few of the metrics were also in support of MATIC and suggested a trend reversal was around the corner. CryptoQuant’s data revealed that MATIC’s net deposits on exchanges were low compared to the 7-day average, which is a positive signal as it indicates less selling pressure.

MATIC’s active addresses were also rising, reflecting a larger number of users on the network. Its network growth registered an uptick over the last week, which too looked optimistic. Nonetheless, MATIC’s MVRV Ratio went down, which might cause MATIC’s price to tumble in the coming days.

IMF Warns of Tough Year Ahead for World Economy Citing Slowdown in US, EU, China

IMF Warns of Tough Year Ahead for World Economy Citing Slowdown in US, EU, China

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that 2023 will be a tougher year for most of the world economy because the U.S., EU, and Chinese economies are all slowing down simultaneously. “We expect one-third of the world economy to be in recession … Even countries that are not in recession, it would feel like recession for hundreds of millions of people,” said IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva.

IMF’s 2023 Economic Predictions

International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva shared the IMF’s predictions on the U.S., the EU, China, and the world economy in an interview with CBS, aired Sunday. She detailed:

This is what we see in 2023. For most of the world economy, this is going to be a tough year, tougher than the year we leave behind. Why? Because the three big economies, U.S., EU, China, are all slowing down simultaneously.

“The U.S. is most resilient. The U.S. may avoid recession. We see the labor market remaining quite strong. This is, however, a mixed blessing because if the labor market is very strong, the Fed may have to keep interest rates tighter for longer to bring inflation down,” the IMF chief continued.

“The EU was very severely hit by the war in Ukraine. Half of the European Union will be in recession next year. China is going to slow down this year further,” she added.

Moreover, the IMF boss said:

Next year will be a tough year for China. And that translates into negative trends globally.

“When we look at the emerging markets in developing economies, there, the picture is even direr. Why? Because on top of everything else, they get hit by high interest rates and by the appreciation of the dollar. For those economies that have high level of that, this is a devastation,” she cautioned.

Regarding China specifically, Georgieva described: “In the short term, bad news. China has slowed down dramatically in 2022 because of this tight zero Covid policy. For the first time in 40 years, China’s growth in 2022 is likely to be at or below global growth. That has never happened before.”

Emphasizing that she hopes the U.S. economy “is not going to slip into recession despite all these risks,” the IMF managing director shared:

We expect one third of the world economy to be in recession … Even countries that are not in recession, it would feel like recession for hundreds of millions of people.

Georgieva added that “the world has changed dramatically,” noting that “it is a more shock-prone world.” She explained that these shocks include Covid, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the cost of living crisis.

“My message [is] don’t think that we are going to go back to pre-Covid predictability. More uncertainty, more overlap of crises wait for us … We have to buckle up and act in that more agile, precautionary manner,” she concluded.

What do you think about the predictions by the International Monetary Fund? Let us know in the comments section below.

Are you considering BAT for your investment portfolio, but doubtful of its returns? Fret not, as this write-up will get all your doubts sorted.

BAT Token Price Prediction 2023

The network believes to extend Brave beyond its browser and collaborate with leading third-party browsers. On this note, momentum may be induced causing the BAT price to hit a high of $0.8196 by the end of 2023. In the urge of gaining rewards, users not interested in the ads might view them.

Thus not yielding potential customers for the advertisers. The adoption of Brave is still controversial and if the network fails to improve this, the price might fall to $0.4327. Successively, factoring in the aforesaid factors, BAT price could find a middle ground at $0.6003.

BAT Crypto Price Prediction 2024

If the protocol brings in community-building initiatives and strives toward diverse sectors such as NFTs and Defis. The price of BAT could ascend towards its potential high of $1.2921.

On the flip side, emerging rivals and stiffer competition could bring the price down to $0.6554. Conversely, constrained by a linear momentum, the year could terminate at $0.9463.

BAT Price Prediction 2025

The network has already collaborated with leading platforms like Townsquare, Dow Jones and many more. We can expect better outcomes from BAT as they are planning for further partnerships. If the network successfully introduces updates like posting comments and unlocking premium content. Then the Basic Attention Token’s price may blow to $2.1621.

On the other hand, if the network falls prey to current critical debates on Mining and PoW consensus, the market may crash. In such a scenario the BAT price may wipe down to $1.1005 by the end of 2025. But if BAT successfully keeps up the privacy algorithm on the Brave browser, BAT shall trade at $1.5425.

What Is Basic Attention Token (BAT)?

Basic Attention Token is the native token of the Brave web browser, which is built on the Ethereum blockchain. Created by co-founder of Mozilla & Firefox, Brendan Eich, in 2017. It is a blockchain-based system built to attract the media consumer’s attention using the Brave web browser.

The token is in use for mediating payments between advertisers and content creators who lend space on their webpage for the ads. Also, to users who view the ads. Thus, Brave acts as a blockchain-based advertising platform powered by the BAT token.

Built on Ethereum, BAT is an ERC-20 token. And allows the creation and transfer of smart contracts for irreversible payments happening over the network. It works on a PoW consensus like most cryptocurrencies now, you can also mine these tokens. Currently, the token is capped at a total supply of 1.5 billion.

Company Details

The Basic Attention Token (BAT) is the native token of the Brave web browser, which is built on the Ethereum blockchain. The token has two founders, Brendan Eich and Brian Bondy. Brenden is also the co-founder of Mozilla and Firefox. The protocol is a blockchain-based system built to attract the media consumer’s attention using the Brave web browser.

Fundamental Analysis

The Brave browser works very much similar to that of Google chrome but vigorously blocks ads from appearing on the web pages. However, profiting the users, publishers, and advertisers, ads can be enabled anytime. That is, a product-based company needs to pay the browser in the form of BAT via smart contracts. Which will, in turn, be distributed to the publisher who posts these ads on their webspace. 

Many may wonder about the need for a cryptocurrency to power the network. When the user or publisher can just be paid in any fiat currency. But it is here that the network eyes on improving privacy and transparency. Transactions and payments within the network using BAT do not record any identity nor reveal it! 

After a successful launch in 2017, the network partnered and collaborated with multiple networks and platforms. One notable partnership was with the TAP Network, a leading data network and advertising platform which has a stablecoin called TAP coin. Other remarkable collaborations include those with Dow Jones Media, Quant, and Cheddar.

The project is evolving in all possible dimensions and looks forward to implementing easy micropayments for goods using BAT. The network officially announced an on-board Privacy-preserving News recommendation on its Browser. 

CoinPedia’s BAT Coin Price Prediction

Considering the previous price prediction movements and the current price trend, the price is expected to rally steadily. According to CoinPedia’s formulated BAT’s price prediction. The token may surge to $0.819 by the end of 2023. In contrast, Ethereum’s scalability issues might impact the growth of BAT. Which is an ERC-20 token causing the price to slump to $0.432.

Bitcoin (BTC)Price To Remain Bearish For Next Next 6-12 Months: Predicts Santiment Data

Bitcoin (BTC)Price To Remain Bearish For Next Next 6-12 Months: Predicts Santiment Data
btc price

Santiment, a blockchain analytics platform, has released an analysis on Bitcoin (BTC) that looks into how whale behavior will affect the price of the king cryptocurrency.

The group of Bitcoin owners who hold between 1,000 and 100,000 BTC is recognized for being a solid indication of the direction that the price will go in the long run. Santiment attempts to have a better understanding of what could be in store for the price by studying their behavior.

Recent data indicates that they have been operating as a net seller, and the price has been moving in tandem with this trend. 

“It is with confidence that we can predict sideways or even lower prices for BTC in the next 6-12 months.”

—Santiment

According to Santiment’s research, bottoms are often connected with lower levels of whale activity. In prior bottoms, the average number of transactions during a week was between 1,200 and 2,500.

Santiment reports that Bitcoin is still seeing about 10,000 daily transactions. This, according to Santiment, implies that they must wait for the average to decline lower before concluding that even the major players have given up.

Moving on, it’s important to think about potential volume gaps that BTC whales could be interested in. Santiment identifies $14,600 and $12,200 as two key price gaps that investors need to keep a watch on. Track the previously indicated group of whales to determine whether they are engaging in any major transactions in these price bands; this will provide light on whether or not whales are amassing there.

To summarize, it may be worthwhile to keep an eye on the behavior of Bitcoin whales as well as the existence of volume gaps around $14,600 and $12,200. Recent whale action may be summed up as a net selling, which has acted as a drag on the price. 

Before determining with absolute certainty whether or not we have reached a bottom, it could be prudent to wait until the number of transactions has decreased, even more, the blockchain insights platform says.

Bitcoin Might Enter 2023 On Bearish Note – BTC Price heading to This Level in January

Bitcoin Might Enter 2023 On Bearish Note – BTC Price heading to This Level in January
Bitcoin bear

The price of Bitcoin dropped significantly in 2022 before the abrupt collapse of FTX last month. This was due to rising interest rates, increased association with overvalued tech stocks, and instability in other parts of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. 

Currently, the price of Bitcoin is around $16,604, with a market capitalization of $319,554,631,816.13. This year, Bitcoin has experienced a change of -64.09%. 

As the year comes to a close, many are looking forward to what BTC will be like in 2023.

How Are The Whales Influencing The BTC Price?

According to data from Santiment, the number of Bitcoin (BTC) whale transactions that cost more than $1 million has reached its lowest level since December 2020. 

There is a direct correlation between the price of BTC and whale transactions that total more than $1 million. This is because the price of BTC may potentially decrease persistently due to whales’ unwillingness to accumulate or distribute.

BTC Investors Are Shedding Their Holdings

Despite suffering losses and a decline in whale activity on the BTC network, short-term holders continue to sell, according to CryptoQuant analyst Phi Deltalytics. 

Phi claims that an assessment of BTC’s Short-Term Output Profit Ratio revealed that these participants, even if it meant suffering losses, had chosen liquidity over holding onto their assets. 

The BTC On-balance volume (OBV) was at -2.127 million on a daily chart, indicating that more assets are being sold than purchased, which drives down prices. 

This position is supported by the fact that both BTC’s Money Flow Index (MFI) and Relative Strength Index (RSI) are currently below their neutral zones. The RSI is at 43.75 and the MFI is at 40.17, both in downtrends. A continuous dip in an asset’s RSI and MFI indicates a significant drop in buying momentum and may suggest that the asset is oversold. A shift in investor conviction is needed for a reversal to occur.

Bitcoin has considerably decreased since the start of the year. Let’s look at some expert predictions. Bitcoin might reach a high of $17,431.30 in 2022 before falling to $17,274.38 in 2023, according to CryptoPredictions.com.

PricePrediction predicts that the price of bitcoin in 2030 will be $394,710.77, up from a modest $18,029.65 in 2022.

By December 12, 2023, Wallet Investor projected a $10,111.96 price loss in bitcoin, which is fairly bearish.

Filecoin And Apecoin Fail To Deliver As Investors Rush To Snowfall Protocol (SNW)
Snowfall Protocol (SNW)

While the value of crypto assets such as Filecoin (FIL) and Apecoin (APE) has dropped dramatically, disappointing several investors, many lucrative opportunities still abound in the market. A good example is the Snowfall Protocol (SNW). Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is a fresh and intriguing cryptocurrency concept that many experts believe has a huge potential for rapid growth.

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) has recently recorded a price increase of more than 250% in a few days. And with a current price of $0.17, experts still predict a massive increase in the months ahead.

A Steep Slope For Filecoin (FIL)

The bearish market undoubtedly affected Filecoin (FIL), but other factors are also to blame for the token’s steep slide. The crypto project has been repeatedly accused of fraud and running a pyramid scheme. This has caused many investors to abandon ship searching for more solid investments.

Filecoin (FIL) has dropped 98.5% since reaching an all-time high of $237.62. The coin trades in the $2.94 to $3.08 range and ranks among the worst-performing cryptocurrencies. With zero bullish momentum, many investors have lost faith in the project. They are now searching for assets with good prospects. This is where Snowfall Protocol (SNW) comes into play.

Apecoin (APE) Fails To Meet Investors’ Expectations

Apecoin (APE) has an illustrious pedigree. The crypto asset was distributed via airdrop to the reputable Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFT collections. Since then, Apecoin (APE) has become a crypto asset linked to the NFT community. 

However, Apecoin (APE) has yet to establish a compelling use case. In that regard, it is most similar to meme coins such as Shiba Inu and Dogecoin. With no real use case, the value of Apecoin (APE) has been quite volatile. The crypto asset experienced several ups and downs over the last year and is currently trading at $3.55 – $3.66. While some experts continue to view ApeCoin (APE) as a long-term potential, others have sold their investments for better opportunities in Snowfall Protocol (SNW).

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) Jumps To New Heights 

The revolutionary Snowfall Protocol (SNW) dApp prototype supports non-EVM, and EVM chains facilitate cross-chain asset exchanges (non-fungible and fungible) and provide many additional cutting-edge solutions. 

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) sold out a day earlier in the second presale round. The third presale of Snowfall Protocol (SNW), which is now active, will also end in less than two weeks. And so far, the token’s value has increased by 400%. In addition,Snowfall Protocol (SNW) has sold more than 195 million tokens to date, and demand continues to grow.

When it launches on January 3, 2023,Snowfall Protocol (SNW) should rank top on the list for early investors eager in a project, raking in a significant return on their money. SNW tokens are presently priced at $0.14 a unit, and many experts believe that by 2023, it will be one of the tokens that creates a significant number of millionaires.
