2022-01-18 19:19:02 Cryptopayments will appear in 85,000 retail outlets in Switzerland

Zurich-based crypto-financial service Bitcoin Suisse is partnering with payments company Worldline to introduce instant payments in bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for 85,000 merchants in Switzerland.

To do so, merchants must download the WL Sgurto Paouments mobile app or install a payment plugin on their sites, allowing customers to pay through the usual mobile cryptocurrency wallet apps.

According to Worldline, immediately after payment confirmation, cryptotransactions will be converted into Swiss francs, reducing volatility.

Bitcoin Suisse executive director Arthur Veyloian said:

"This is a historic milestone for the adoption of cryptocurrency in Switzerland and beyond... This move proves once again that Switzerland is a leader in collaborative innovation and a pioneer in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. 打开/如何

The Latin American nation of El Salvador has been in the news lately for being the first country in the world to use BTC as legal tender. Along with passing the BTC bill, the government, led by President Nayib Bukkele, also established over 200 ATMs to convert BTC to dollars and withdraw cash. However, the rollout of these ATMs and the Chivo wallet app was not quite smooth. As a result, it has drawn the ire of a regional human rights and transparency organization, Cristosal, who lodged a complaint with the Court of Accounts on September 10.

In the complaint, Cristosal has also called for an audit of the authorization processes behind the President’s decision to buy a total of 550 BTC. The organization has also brought into attention the construction process for the Chivo ATM booths, which were funded by public resources. The complaint named six members of the Board of Directors of the Bitcóin Trust, consisting of members of the Finance and Economy ministries, as well as the secretariat of Commerce and Investments.

The Court of Accounts is a government body that oversees public resources and can impose administrative and asset sanctions against officials who cannot solve shortcomings. Furthermore, the group can also appeal to the Attorney General’s Office to initiate criminal proceedings if it discovers irregularities in its investigations.

As per an official document, the Court of Accounts disclosed,

“Having admitted the complaint, it will be proceeded to carry out the legal analysis report and, in a timely manner, forward such report to the General Audit Coordination.”

The landmark move by El Salvador has raised eyebrows globally. Financial analysis company S&P Global has declared that the decision might spell bad news for the country’s credit rating. The company has further stated that the move will further alienate the IMF, weaken the fiscal economy and land lending institutions like banks in trouble.

"The risks associated with the adoption of bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador seem to outweigh its potential benefits. There are immediate negative implications for (the) credit".

As of now, S&P Global grades El Salvador with a ‘stable’ rating, implying that it could drop depending on how the country handles the change. Another financial analysis company, Moody’s, has also lowered El Salvador’s rating to Caa1 (or a B-), with a warning for further possible downgrade. 打开/如何

Apple’s infamous restrictions on the Apple App Store has evolved into a new issue in which it has backtracked on previously implemented policies to block Gnosis Safe, a crypto wallet app, citing the fact that the wallet enabled users to host NFTs through iOS devices.

According to initial reports from Lukas Schor, a product developer at Gnosis Safe, Apple blocked an update to its mobile app on the iOS App Store, citing the app’s ability to provide access to “previously purchased digital content” such as NFTs which were purchased on a platform outside of the app store.

The prohibition follows Apple's guidelines and policies on digital content. However, notably, the Gnosis Safe mobile app has been providing the said service in an earlier update, hence the backtracking on the policy review. Schor clarified this matter in a succeeding tweet, saying that their app’s most recent update was done to enable connections via Ledger Nano X, a hardware crypto wallet, and that the display of user-owned NFTs has been around “for many months” prior to Apple’s communication.

Schor’s correspondence with Apple reveals how apps published on the Apple ecosystem, for both iOS/iPadOS and MacOS, cannot provide any access to NFTs and NFT-related services, even if they were purchased by a user prior to a crypto wallet such as Gnosis Safe having these digital assets stored and secured. The only leeway here is for a digital asset (or digital content, as NFTs are classified, according to Apple’s policy language) to be purchased from within the Apple ecosystem, that is to say, through integrated payment methods approved by Apple.

“If you choose not to implement in-app purchase, it would be appropriate to revise your app so that it does not access previously purchased digital content,” Apple said to Gnosis Safe.

“If you choose not to implement in-app purchase, it would be appropriate to revise your app so that it does not access previously purchased digital content,” Apple said to Gnosis Safe.

A previous coverage from CryptoDaily detailed the implications of Apple’s App Store policies on the crypto and blockchain industry, citing details of the recent lawsuit on a similar matter which involves Apple and Epic Games, the game development studio behind Fortnite.

The case has received a ruling on September 10th, 2021, from the court presided by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who issued a permanent injunction which states that Apple will no longer be allowed to prohibit developers (such as Epic Games and Gnosis Safe) from providing links or other communications that would direct users outside of Apple’s in-app purchasing ecosystem.

“The Court concludes that Apple’s anti-steering provisions hide critical information from consumers and illegally stifle consumer choice. When coupled with Apple’s incipient antitrust violations, these anti-steering provisions are anticompetitive and a nationwide remedy to eliminate those provisions is warranted.” Rogers stated.

It is necessary to highlight that Apple charges between 15% to 30% as commission on all in-app purchases to app publishers, whether such transactions are made through in-app items or services, or made in exchange of digital goods. This policy has several ramifications on how NFTs and other crypto services may be adopted on an ecosystem as widely used as Apple’s.

Section 3.2.1 of Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines specifically mentions that “a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase” (vii) while further saying that apps “used for financial trading, investing, or money management should be submitted by the financial institution performing such services.” 打开/如何

A category of tokens known as MEV Protection has seen a surge in prices this week, coming in as the top weekly performing token category. The strong performance for the sector follows news from earlier this week that Eden Network (EDEN), a leading MEV protection project, raised USD 17.4m from a number of prominent investors.

The category, which is made up of tokens such as EDEN, Gnosis (GNO), and Automata (ATA) has experienced growth in the wake of the roll-out of Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)-1559 on August 4.

Short for miner extractable value, MEV is essentially the ability miners have on Ethereum to choose which transactions should be included in a given block, and the order of those transactions, thereby giving them an opportunity to profit.

As the top project in the category, Eden Network made headlines on Wednesday this week when it announced that it had closed its seed investment round, which was led by leading investors like Multicoin Capital, Alameda Research, and YFI creator Andre Cronje, among others.

According to Eden Network’s announcement, the USD 17.4m raised in the round will support the team in its mission to provide “a solution that protects DeFi users from malicious arbitrage, while simultaneously creating an open market for priority blockspace and augmenting decreasing miner revenue post EIP-1559.”

Among other things, EIP-1559 is also affecting miner revenue and this has led some to discuss whether miners will increasingly seek alternative revenue streams, which MEV can represent.

According to an estimate by crypto investment firm Multicoin Capital, MEV on Ethereum already amounted to more than USD 700m in 2021 alone, and the figure will naturally grow as DeFi usage on the platform grows.

During this week, MEV Protection tokens as a whole have risen almost 44%. The growth has brought the tokens to a combined market capitalization of USD 1.4bn, according to CoinGecko. However, weekly gains were trimmed by a sharp correction today: 打开/如何

CoinPanel has recently launched a revolutionary trading feature that could change the lives of cryptocurrency investors. The platform’s Chart Mirroring function allows traders at any level to instantly see the technical analysis, entry and exit zones from professional traders, enabling them to set their crypto trading strategies.

Aiming to level the playing field for all investors, CoinPanel’sChart Mirroring feature gives traders with any level of experience access to professionals’ crypto trading charts so even investors that have just started trading digital assets can get first-hand insight into setting up their trades.

Investors worldwide are increasingly drawn to cryptocurrency trading as the new asset class can provide much higher returns than traditional investments. The global crypto market capitalization is now over $2 trillion, more than doubling its record in 2020.

Actively trading crypto may be risky for most investors, as you could lose your capital due to the volatility of digital asset prices. It is common for traders to lose money quickly by trading cryptocurrencies.

The only other option for many investors is to HODL their Bitcoin and crypto, but the profits may only come at a later stage, risking the expense of opportunity cost.

While the benefit of investing in cryptocurrencies is definitely the fluctuation of prices giving investors the opportunity to win big during times of volatility. However, the opposite could happen, which could lead to massive losses. Professional traders rely on a number of tools, with one of the most essential tools being technical analysis.

Technical analysis may be difficult for the average investor. Still, should investors decide to get into crypto trading, it is an important skill to learn.

Why is technical analysis important?

Technical analysis is used by trading veterans to identify trading opportunities by analyzing the trends given by the crypto trading charts. It is essential to help traders identify the proper entry and exit points, which leads to spotting the right time to invest in the market and withdrawing money with profit.

With the help of chart patterns, trend lines and technical indicators, traders can understand historical price data, which becomes the most crucial aspect of an investor’s trading life.

What if there is a way to learn technical analysis live 24/7, with the help of experts? Investors could then acquire the new skill while benefiting from the trading setup given by industry leaders.

2022-01-18 19:17:43 ​​SEC Launches Probe On Uniswap Labs

According to initial reports from the Wall Street Journal, the investigations were neither confirmed nor denied by a spokesperson from the SEC. On the other hand, a representative from Uniswap Labs stated that they are “committed to complying with the laws and regulations governing our industry and to providing information to regulators that will assist them with any inquiry.”

The report suggests that the civil investigation on Uniswap Labs appears to be in the early stages, and hence may not “produce any formal allegations of wrongdoing.”

Nevertheless, the SEC’s Gary Gensler has previously warned of the agency’s position, that while crypto, and DeFi (decentralized finance) may “continue to be a catalyst for change in the fields of finance and money,” these sectors weren’t immune to regulatory scrutiny. Gensler says that crypto and DeFi regulation was necessary to “guard against illicit activity, and ensure financial stability.”

Prior to these comments, Gensler also added that platforms such as those built on top of the decentralized finance ecosystem may be viewed as eluding regulatory scrutiny, especially in terms of traditional banking laws and anti-money laundering frameworks.

Uniswap’s decentralized exchange protocol accounts for some of the largest volumes of ERC-20 token transfers in the crypto industry, with a market share of over 21%. It provides a decentralized leverage on traditional financial products like loans, insurance, derivatives, and does so with non-custodial and blockchain-secured applications (dApps).

Uniswap’s V3 (Version 3) was recently launched in May this year and currently leads all exchanges by trading volume, posting over $1.6 billion worth of transactions in just the past 24 hours. 打开/如何

2022-01-18 19:17:42 ​​Chainlink Price Feeds Go Live On Optimistic Ethereum

External oracles such as Chainlink have been growing in importance, with several smart contract applications relying on them in some capacity. Most protocols rely on oracles for their price feeds in DeFi. The price feeds are used for on-chain actions such as loan collateralization or setting binary options at expiry.

With the integration, developers can easily and securely build all types of DeFi applications by using the Chainlink Price Feed’s decentralized oracle networks. The oracle networks maintain high-quality and tamperproof data feeds on-chain. These can be used by several assets such as stablecoins, cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, and other assets.

There are already a number of Chainlink Price Feeds that are already running on Optimistic Ethereum that developers can easily access. Developers can also reach out directly to Chainlink to help launch new price feeds across different types of assets.

With Chainlink Price Feeds being native to Optimistic Ethereum, they can run at the underlying cost and speed of Optimistic Ethereum, allowing developers to get low-latency and inexpensive price updates, all in real-time. As a result, developers have access to advanced smart contract applications on Optimistic Ethereum’s Layer-2, previously unavailable on Layer-1.

Chainlink Price Feeds have also already been integrated on Optimistic Ethereum by Synthetix, giving low-cost and low-latency Oracle updates. The integration also supports trading of options on Lyra, trading of Synths on Kwenta, and binary options of Thales.

There are several benefits development teams can get once they integrate the Chainlink Price Feeds.

High update frequency - The Chainlink Price Feeds offer low latency price updates at a minimal cost. This results in data that accurately reflect prevailing market conditions.

Quality data - The Chainlink Price Feeds source data from several high-quality data aggregators. This means that the price data provided by Chainlink Price Feeds has been aggregated from hundreds of exchanges. The data is then cleaned from outliers and any suspiciously large volumes and also weighted by volume. This aggregation method allows Chainlink to generate accurate market prices that are immune to API downtime, data manipulation attacks, and flash crash outliers.

Robust infrastructure - The price feeds use decentralized networks that are run by leading DevOps teams. These have a track record of uptime and tamper-resistance during periods of volatility, congestion, and any infrastructure outages.

Transparency - Chainlink will provide a set of on-chain monitoring tools and a robust reputation framework that will enable users to verify all price feeds’ historical and real-time performance.

The Chainlink Integration also ensures the easy migration of existing and new Decentralized Applications to the Optimistic Ethereum Layer-2, with minimal changes required to the code. The Chainlink and Optimistic Ethereum teams are working together to expand the support on Optimistic Ethereum to include other Chainlink services such as Chainlink VRF and Chainlink Keepers. Chainlink VRF is an RNG solution for NFT and gaming dApps, while Chainlink Keepers are decentralized bots that help in smart contract automation. The Chainlink Keepers also help in getting off-chain computation and external data from pretty much any API. 打开/如何

2022-01-18 19:17:42 ​​Congressional Researchers Remind Of Crypto Regulations Risks

The US Congressional Research Service (CRS) is reminding lawmakers of trade-offs and risks related to potential forthcoming crypto regulations spearheaded by the US administration. At the same time, US Senators are developing proposals in a bid to protect the interests of crypto investors.

The CRC recognizes that, to the extent new reporting obligations to be imposed on crypto-focused business are considered as creating a 'paper trail,' some legitimate consumers who would consider using crypto could decide to avoid these obligations.

“Policymakers face a tradeoff in this industry between providing the necessary tools to ensure [anti-money laundering] compliance and driving activities out of the US market,” the service said.

As reported, if the controversial US infrastructure bill is passed in its current form, it may force crypto companies to leave the country as there's no way to comply with the new requirements. However, the industry would also depend on the US Treasury as this institution would need to put the vague language into practice.


While the new regulations could help the government cut the tax gap, their efficiency is yet to be determined.

“Although enhanced reporting requirements may help to close the tax gap, some underreporting of income generated from crypto transactions will likely still continue as some crypto transactions are intended to elude authorities,” the CRC admits.

President Joe Biden’s budget request for next year proposes requiring crypto exchanges and custodians to file information returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for gross flows above USD 600, among others. The administration’s proposal includes a reporting requirement for inter-broker crypto transfers, and obliging businesses that accept cryptocurrencies to report such transactions that exceed USD 10,000 in value to the IRS.

“The Administration also proposes expanding the information reporting requirements for brokers, including crypto exchanges and wallet providers, to include information on US and certain foreign account owners,” the service said.

The US government says this would allow for automatic information sharing with foreign tax jurisdictions. In exchange, Washington would provide them with information on US taxpayers who transact in crypto outside the US, according to the document.

The latest development comes as the debate over crypto regulations is to be picked up by Congress in the nearest term. Most recently, Republican Senator and a member of the Senate Banking Committee Pat Toomey has put out a call soliciting proposals on means to make sure that federal law fosters the development of the crypto blockchain industries, in a way that protects investors. The committee is to collect proposals until September 27.

“Rather than trying to ignore or suppress cryptocurrency and related technologies, regulators and legislators alike need to recognize that open, public networks are here to stay. Our laws and regulations must adapt to these developments,” Toomey said in a statement. “That’s why it’s important Congress gets this right and ensures the United States remains at the forefront of cryptocurrency and fintech innovation.”

The senator’s move comes after failed efforts to amend the infrastructure bill spearhead by the Biden administration. Along with Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis and Democratic Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, Toomey aimed to include a provision in the bill that would redefine the term “broker” to limit the new reporting requirements, preventing crypto miners and developers from being covered by such obligations.

“I am hopeful the broad array of legislative proposals I receive will help in crafting thoughtful legislation,” the senator said. 打开/如何

2022-01-18 19:17:42 ​​Microsoft Granted With Patent For Token Interoperability Solution

According to a file documented by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USTPO), the technology can be described as a “ledger-independent token service” and would simplify cryptocurrency token creation for developers.

The service itself provides developers with token templates with each template representing several types of physical or digital assets. Developers are also able to set controls and functions for each token based on its type or class. The patent references current enterprise-class projects using blockchain technology such as Hyperledger Fabric, Quorum, R3 Corda, and Chain Core.

“[..] due to the current lack of standardization across DLTs and token implementations, the process of building such applications, particularly in scenarios that involve multi-ledger transactions and/or token reuse, can be difficult and cumbersome.” Microsoft stated.

For context, Microsoft argues that development for cross-ledger transaction and token reuse have been facing this particular roadblock. The ledger-independent token creation tool would allow developers to code tokens on different platforms simultaneously.

The patent filing was awarded to Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC. However, Microsoft has made no official statements whether this would mean that an actual product is already in their production pipeline.

In 2019, Microsoft was involved in a token standardization project called the Token Taxonomy Initiative, a collaborative project started by the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance. The initiative was chaired by Microsoft’s principal architect Marley Gray, who also serves as a board member of the alliance. Microsoft has also engaged previously in research work on an anti-piracy solution based on blockchain technology. 打开/如何

2022-01-18 19:17:42 ​​3 Ways To Benefit From Polkadot Right Now

Polkadot (DOT) marched straight into the cryptocurrency market cap top ten after launching last year, emerging as one of few projects sufficiently equipped to shoulder the responsibility of being the world’s leading multichain protocol.

The dream of Polkadot – an interoperable, decentralized network of multiple blockchains – was the same one shared by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, when the concept for Ethereum (ETH) was first conceived.

Led by Ethereum co-creator Dr Gavin Wood, Polkadot has seen the culmination of part of that dream by establishing a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, and a three-level protocol that allows for blockchain cross-communication. Auctions for the first batch of parachains – independent chains with their own tokens on the Polkadot network – were recently completed, with the second batch set to follow in early September.

Despite this progress, the Polkadot ecosystem is still in its nascent stages, with its larger ambitions yet to be brought to scale.

While interested observers wait for the realization of this aim, here are three ways they can benefit from using the Polkadot network already.

The most straightforward way to benefit from Polkadot here and now is to stake DOT coins in return for a daily share of the block rewards. This is achieved through Polkadot’s Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus, where “nominators” (coin holders) can stake their coins with “validators” (those who maintain the network by running a node).

In Proof-of-Stake, staked coins secure the network in the same way that computational power secures the network in a Proof-of-Work system like Bitcoin (BTC). Unlike Bitcoin mining, however, Proof-of-Stake does not demand a country’s-worth of electricity to function, nor any specialized equipment. Users can stake directly with network validators, circumventing the need for middle-men like mining pools.

As per the latest data, Polkadot nominators can expect to earn around between 13% and 15% staking directly with validators. Cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance and Kraken also offer their own third-party versions of Polkadot staking, with returns varying depending on the product used.

One thing to note: staking on Polkadot isn’t recommended as part of a “set and forget” strategy, according to the project’s own documentation. Just as validators must earn their pay by running a node, nominators must also contribute to the network by actively vetting and selecting suitable validators. Users make such decisions based on the reputation and commission of active validators, and risk losing their staked funds if a node goes down.

Running on Polkadot’s bespoke test network Kusama, the Karura DEX is more than just a decentralized exchange. Positioning itself as a De-Fi hub on Polkadot, Karura entails a collateralized stablecoin system and a borrowing and lending feature, in addition to automated market-making.

Users can also provide liquidity to the DEX in return for a share of trading fees. The tokens currently available on the DEX include Karura’s native KAR token, Kusama’s KSM, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, in addition to other tokens already running on Kusama.

Notably, Karura allows users to retain the liquidity of their investments by issuing Liquid KSM (LKSM) in return for staked Kusama tokens. Thus, the end user can earn rewards on their KSM while continuing to use LKSM to trade, take out loans, or provide additional liquidity.

Dot.Finance is a De-Fi aggregator for the Polkadot network that automates some of the finer processes of yield farming for the benefit of the average user.

Excluding a relatively small handful of technical users, most people who have wrestled with decentralized finance apps will testify to their complexity. Yield farming can often demand the same time and attention as a full-time job, as potential yields rise and fall, and users must work to balance their options at all times. 打开/如何
