https://cryptonews.com/news/crypto-listing-and-delisting-announcements-week-9-9390.htm?utm_source=CryptoNews&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=shared

Crypto exchange giant Binance announced Tuesday an investment in Multicoin Capital.

Multicoin is a hedge fund that invests in crypto startups. With the deal, Binance has now become a partner of the hedge fund.

"This is the first investment we have made of this nature. As a result, we will continue working closely with Multicoin Capital to explore new opportunities for blockchain, including development and market expansion," Binance said in a blog post.

Other investors in Multicoin include Ribbit Capital, eminent venture capital fund Union Square Ventures, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, and former chief operating officer of PayPal Holdings Inc David Sacks.

“[Multicoin Capital] has a strong track record and a unique knowledge of emerging assets that extend well beyond Bitcoin,” said Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao in a statement. “They are the best at what they do, and we are glad to join them as limited partners. We look forward to working more closely together in the broader industry.”

As noted in a profile of Multicoin's portfolio produced by The Block Research, the hedge fund was founded in 2017 by Kyle Samani and Tushar Jain. Its portfolio cuts across an array of industry sectors, including infrastructure.

Bitcoin price recovered above $48,000, but it failed near $50,000 against the US Dollar. BTC is now holding gains above $47,000 and it is likely to make another attempt to surpass $50,000.

Bitcoin is consolidating gains above the $47,000 and $46,500 support levels.
The price is now trading well above $47,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
There is a key declining channel or a bullish flag forming with resistance near $49,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
The pair could start a strong increase once it clears $49,000 and $50,000 in the near term.
Bitcoin Price is Showing Positive Signs
After struggling to clear the $50,000 resistance, bitcoin started a downside correction. BTC declined below the $49,500 and $49,000 support levels.

The price even traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $43,000 swing low to $50,190 high. It even declined below the $48,000 support level. However, the bulls were able to protect the $47,000 support zone.

The price remained stable above the 100 hourly simple moving average, which is currently at $47,100. Bitcoin also remained well bid above the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $43,000 swing low to $50,190 high.

It seems like there is a key declining channel or a bullish flag forming with resistance near $49,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

If there is an upside break above the channel resistance, there are high chances of a push above the $50,000 resistance. The next major resistance is near $52,000, above which the bulls are likely to take control.

Craig Wright does not intend to take control of Bitcoin, and, for that matter, is not a member of the Bitcoin Association.

This is the summary of Calvin Ayre‘s (who is part of the Bitcoin Association, behind the development of Bitcoin Satoshi Vision) statement on the matter of Craig Wright suing Bitcoin developers, including BSV.

In his statement, Calvin Ayre, a friend of Craig Wright’s and a firm believer that it is he who hides behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, explained his point of view on the matter.

The facts are the following: Craig Wright was the victim of a cyber attack in which 111,000 bitcoin were stolen from him. In order to get his cryptocurrencies back, Craig Wright sued the developers of BTC, BCH, BSV and BCH ABC, who he claims have a duty to cooperate in returning the coins to the wallet from which they were stolen.

The fact that BSV, which Craig Wright is supposed to be supporting, was among those being sued caused a stir, and the Bitcoin Association issued a statement seeming to distance itself.

Craig Wright and the stolen bitcoin lawsuit: Calvin Ayre’s side of the story
In reality, according to Calvin Ayre, things are not quite as they are made out to be. To begin with, Craig Wright is not a member of the Bitcoin Association even though he is Satoshi Nakamoto and with BSV he had intended to restore Bitcoin to its original version:

“But despite Craig being the real-world figure behind the Satoshi Nakamoto pseudonym credited with inventing Bitcoin back in 2008, Craig is not part of the Association, a decision that was intended from day one to demonstrate that no single individual controls BSV.

Part of Craig’s vision for restoring Bitcoin’s original design was to lock BSV’s protocol, offering developers and enterprises the confidence with which to proceed with their plans, safe in the knowledge that their work won’t be sabotaged by decisions made without their consultation by self-appointed network demigods”.

The decision not to join the Bitcoin Association and to block the BSV protocol was also made with the aim of ensuring that no one could take control of the network. This is what Calvin Ayre claims. No one, not even Craig Wright himself.

For Calvin Ayre, Craig Wright’s intent in suing the developers is not about taking control of Bitcoin, forcing miners to make a transaction that some say could undermine the trust of the blockchain.

Because, Calvin Ayre goes on to explain, when Craig Wright first conceived of Bitcoin he envisioned a kind of triple confirmation, where one transaction could be reversible, returning misappropriated funds, while a second transaction would erase the first “illegal” one while retaining memory of the crime committed.

Calvin Ayre adds:

“Bitcoin’s various forks (such as BTC and BCH) removed this functionality from their code but it would be fairly easy for miners to reinsert these tools. This would help enshrine Bitcoin as a legally compliant technology and remove the threat of future legal actions that are undoubtedly in the works by other victims of digital larceny”.

The fact that Craig Wright had to go to court strengthens the purpose of the Bitcoin Association, which is to build an ecosystem that operates legally, according to Calvin Ayre. While the BSV cryptocurrency, which Craig Wright co-founded, cannot be controlled by anyone. Therefore, Calvin Ayre’s position is clear and once again in defence of his friend:

“So don’t believe the hype emanating from those who claim Craig’s legal action is intended to achieve an unchallengeable dominance over Bitcoin. He himself has ensured that can never happen. All he wants is for the technology he invented to fulfill its destiny as a legally compliant global payment and data storage system”.

There will come a time, he concludes, when the cryptocurrency wild west is set to end, and that time is getting closer. If cryptocurrencies were remembered and compared to Jesse James, Billy the Kid and the Hole in the Wall gang, none of them lived long, Calvin Ayre recalls. But Bitcoin SV and the Bitcoin Association are something else, which is why, he concludes, their future will be bright:

“The Bitcoin Association has chosen to wear a white hat in this drama, which is just one of the reasons— alongside unparalleled scaling capacity and ultra-low transaction fees—why BSV’s long-term future appears far brighter than its legally conflicted rivals”.

About $3.3 billion worth of Bitcoin options expires today. Should traders cash out, they could dump a lot of Bitcoin on the market, potentially putting pressure on Bitcoin’s price. Should they hodl">HODL or reinvest, the crypto market's rivers could gush with fresh money.

In addition to the Bitcoin investments, 400,000 ETH worth of Ethereum options contracts also expire today. That’s worth about $613 million.


Options contracts grant traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy some asset (in this case, Bitcoin) at a specified price at some point in the future. Bitcoin options are, essentially, another way to speculate on Bitcoin’s price.

You can trade these options contracts right up until they expire, and they become more valuable if it looks like they’re going to be correct. They differ from futures contracts, which force traders to buy Bitcoin at a certain price upon the expiry of the contracts.

Options and futures contracts come in various shapes and sizes and expiry dates. But the last Friday of the month is always a clean-cut and lots of contracts expire on this day each month.

So, what’s it all mean?

Denis Vinokourov, head of research at crypto prime broker Bequant, isn’t too fussed. “Options flows are not yet at the size where they can move the market,” he told Decrypt.

More recently, Vinokourov has noticed that although the price dips when traders cash out their options, it subsequently goes back up. “It is worth noting that a lot of the flow is market neutral, as opposed to directional,” he added. In other words: less buying and selling, more HODLing.

There’s far more money in contracts that expire at the end of March, however; about 84,700 Bitcoin, per Skew Analytics, currently worth $4 billion. It’s the same story with Ethereum: 551,800 ETH expires on March 26, or $841 million.

That could be because the final Friday of March is close to the tax deadline, which in the US is April 15. Traders that profit from futures or options contracts must put that towards their tax bills; losers can write it off as losses.

$3.3 Billion in Bitcoin Options Expire Today. Here's What It Means

ADA, the native cryptocurrency of the Cardano blockchain, has surged 13% in the past week, 269% in the last month, and 2,633% since last year. With all that upward momentum, it’s managed to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Today, it kept going up all the way to a price of $1.28 even as much of the rest of the market lingered in the red. Bitcoin this week fell 15% and Ethereum is down 22%.

Dubai Fund Sells $750 Million of Bitcoin to Buy Cardano, Polkadot
Apart from Dogecoin, the price of which was helped upward by Elon Musk tweets, Cardano is the best-performing crypto asset in the top 20 this year, according to data from Nomics. Impressively (and like Dogecoin), it’s performed well despite not being listed on Coinbase, a major gateway for main street US investors.

So, why is the price going up?

There are two likely culprits. First, it’s hard forking at the beginning of March...and that’s a good thing. After the “Mary” hard fork, Cardano will become a “decentralized, multi-asset (MA) smart contract platform,” writes Tim Harrison of IOHK, the primary #DevelopmentTeam  behind Cardano.

Translation: smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are all coming to the network. That may not seem like a huge deal given that Ethereum, the blockchain Cardano is often compared to, has all those things. But have you seen how high the gas prices on Ethereum have gotten?

Yet blockchain projects get upgrades and integrations and new features all the time. There’s no solid evidence that individual investors are pricing that into their decision-making while ignoring developments on other networks—although Cardano is getting ready to introduce NFTs at a time when they’re getting mainstream media attention. It’s great timing.

A second factor that could be driving the price up is this week’s news that FD7, a Dubai investment firm, sold $750 million in Bitcoin so it could buy ADA and Polkadot.

Gerald Votta, communications director at investment research firm Quantum Economics, told Decrypt, “Since Cardano has been trading close to a dollar and the platform has a lot of well-thought-out development, this may be the smartest play [FD7] can make for bigger returns.”


But Polkadot, the other recipient of the FD7 investment is down 13% for the week, so it’s unlikely that the bullish ADA market is entirely attributable to that either.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, who also co-founded Ethereum, doesn’t know what’s behind the market momentum.

“If I knew why the prices behave the way they do, then I'd be a trader, not a builder,” he told Decrypt. “I'm focused on the growth of the Cardano ecosystem and the realization of our industry's use and utility in the developing world.”

Even if he is just a builder, he’s helped build something that people are buying.

Bitcoin More Popular than Gold
Per a report by Melbourne-based digital currency exchange BTC Markets, bitcoin is more popular than gold Down Under. The report based its findings on a survey of about 2,000 investors in Australia, finding that close to 12.6 percent of them held cryptocurrencies compared to 12.1 percent holding shiny metal.

As reported by Motley Fool, close to one in three crypto investors have made their first investment since March 2020 when the global stock markets crashed courtesy of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interestingly, almost a quarter of those surveyed stated they plan to hold their investments for more than three years.

Another notable finding, according to BTC Markets CEO Caroline Bowler, was that while a year ago the majority of crypto investors tended to be men aged 24-45, today, the investor pool includes more retirees, high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors.

In terms of their economic background, close to a quarter of investors holding cryptocurrencies earn more than $79,000 a year.

Australia and Crypto Adoption
Australia is among the front-running nations in terms of the pace of crypto adoption and formulating conducive regulations for the emerging asset class and medium of payment.

As reported by BTCManager in June 2020, digital asset company Centrapay had partnered with Coca-Cola Amatil to enable Australians to purchase soft drinks from vending machines through cryptocurrencies.

In the same month, BTCManager reported how an alliance between crypto exchange Bitcoin.com.au and the Australian Post enabled Australians to buy BTC at more than 3,500 post offices across Australia.

Now, the latest findings by the BTC Markets survey sit in stark contrast to the findings of a similar survey conducted by the Reserve Bank of Australia last year which found that fewer than 1 percent of Australians paid for consumer goods with cryptocurrencies.

That’s not all, as Australia has also been dabbling with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to keep up with neighboring Asian countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan.

BTCManager reported in November 2020 that the Reserve Bank of Australia had joined forces with ConsenSys Software and other financial institutions to launch a research project on wholesale CBDC.

Bitcoin price failed to settle above the $50,000 pivot zone against the US Dollar. BTC is now showing bearish signs and it seems like it could even decline below the $45,000 support.

Bitcoin started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $51,500 and $52,000 resistance levels.
The price is now trading well below the $50,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $49,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
The pair could move down further towards $45,000 or even $42,000 if it remains in the red zone.
