Manny Pacquiao’s long-awaited cryptocurrency could launch by the end of the year.

According to a StraitsTimes report, Singapore based Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX) is in charge of the launch of the Pac Tokens, the cryptocurrency that leverages on the popularity of the Philippine boxing legend.

The news outlet quoted GCOX chief communications officer Evan Ngow who said the only delay being experienced is with the Phillippine Securities and Exchange Commission who is yet to finalize its rules regarding initial coin offerings. The regulations should be ready before year-end, according to Ngow. The company is also working hand in hand with Pacquiao’s team on the volume and value of Pac Tokens to be issued out to members of the public.

The Filipino fighter, an eight-division world champion, is also a celebrity ambassador for tGCO, a blockchain platform that allows celebrities to create their cryptocurrencies which fans can then use to pay for access to exclusive celebrity-related content sold through the GCOX platform. The platform aims to establish the first “authoritative popularity index” through the valuation of tokens created for celebrities on its platform, and it claims the listing of the tokens on its platform will serve as an “objective indication” of the celebs popularity.

Other boxing legends that have been involved with crypto in the past include Welterweight Champion Floyd Mayweather who has promoted several ICOs in the past, while Hall of Fame boxer Evander Holyfield also endorsed an ICO that was later slapped with a cease-and-desist order by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Aside from the launch of Pac Tokens, GCOX is also planning to launch tokens for American singer Jason Derulo and English football legend Michael Owen.

Pacquiao, who is also a sitting Philippine senator, also invested an undisclosed amount of money in GCOX, according to a report in regional business publication Entrepreneur Philippines, while the company’s website claims that retired football star Michael Owen is also an investor.

On October 11, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrencies plunged below $200 billion for the first time since September 20, as a global risk-off trade led investors to dump their holdings. However, the encouraging sign is that the sell-off was short-lived and most currencies are trying to claw back.

The next week is critical because it will provide insight on whether the currencies will break down of their key supports or rise above their overhead resistances. A breakdown to new lows will be negative and might signal the extension of the ongoing bear market. On the other hand, if the bulls succeed in scaling the key levels, it will signal a likely bottom and might attract buying.

Let’s take a look at the top 5 performers of the week and their medium-term outlook.

TRX/USD
Among the digital currencies that have a market capitalization of more than $1 billion, TRON is the only one that has managed to stay in the green in the past seven days. Two news stories attracted buyers in a range bound/falling market.

The first news that pushed prices higher was the tweet from Justin Sun, CEO of TRON on October 08. He said that the latest upgrade would make the digital currency “200x faster than Ethereum and cost 100x cheaper than EOS.”

The second news that led to higher prices was the tweet on October 12 that hinted at a partnership with an industry giant.

So, can this fundamental news propel prices higher and should the investors buy now? Let’s study the charts and find out.

TRX

The TRX/USD pair topped out at $0.35013935 on January 05. At the current levels, the price is down about 93 percent from the highs. Since August 14, it has stopped falling and is trying to form a range. Such a consolidation shows that the owners of the digital currency are in no hurry to sell their holdings. Additionally, the investors are buying on dips, close to $0.0183.

The range has seen two touches at the top and two at the bottom. If the bulls break out and sustain above the range, it will indicate the probable start of a new uptrend. The first pattern target is $0.03801042. However, when the breakout happens after a large consolidation, it easily overshoots the minimum pattern target. Therefore, in the medium-term, investors can expect a move to $0.0415 followed by a rally to $0.052.

If the bears sink prices below $0.01587681, the downtrend will resume. Therefore, we suggest traders wait for a confirmed breakout and only then initiate a long position.

BTC/USD
The sell-off in the global stock markets caught up with Bitcoin. The warning by International Monetary Fund (IMF) that the “rapid growth” of the new asset class could create “new vulnerabilities in the international financial system," did not help matters either.

Global economist Nouriel Roubini continued his anti-crypto rhetoric. He called cryptocurrencies “the mother or father of all scams and bubbles,” and the blockchain technology as “nothing better than a glorified spreadsheet or database.”

Another study from Juniper Research warned of an implosion in the crypto markets. Still, the BTC/USD pair ended as the second-best performer among the mega cap digital currencies. So, does this signal buying at the lows?

BTC

On a medium-term timeframe, Bitcoin has formed a large descending triangle pattern. It has formed successive lower highs but has largely held the $6,000 levels in 2018. Each lower high shows that the sellers are in a hurry to short or liquidate their positions and are not waiting for higher levels. The bulls have been buying only on dips close to $6,000, which has resulted in the support being held.

If the bears break the $5,900 levels, it is likely to attract further short selling and long liquidation, pushing prices to $5,450 and $5,000 levels. The first sign of a change in trend will be a close above the downtrend line of the triangle.

Investors should wait for a breakout above the most recent low of $6,831.99 to sustain for about three days before turning bullish.

LTC/USD
Winklevoss twins led cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, has received the required regulatory approval to add Litecoin trading and custody since October 12.

LTC

The LTC/USD pair has been in a steady downtrend. Previous attempts to stabilize and start a new uptrend have failed at higher levels. For the past two months, the digital currency has been consolidating in a tight range near the lows. A breakdown of the range will resume the downtrend.

If the bulls succeed in breaking out of the range, a rally to $94 levels is possible. A new uptrend will be confirmed only after the virtual currency successfully defends the breakout of the range and makes a series of higher highs and higher lows. Until then, it is best to remain on the sidelines.

EOS/USD
The EOS community is trying to bridge the gap between the West and the East. Language barriers, cultural differences and use of different platforms for conversing with each other were causing issues to the Chinese users. The EOS Mandarin Arbitration Community (EMAC), created to help the Mandarin-speaking users, is believed to be able to bring the two continents together.

EOS

In the medium-term time frame, the EOS/USD pair has largely been range bound between $18.67-$3.8723. Both the top and the bottom of the range have been tested twice. Though the bulls broke out of the range in end-April, they could not sustain the highs and prices crashed back into the range.

On the downside, the bulls have been defending the bottom of the range but have failed to rally higher. The digital currency has been trading close to the bottom of the range for the past two months. A breakdown can start a new downtrend that can result in a sharp fall.

On the upside, a breakout of $6.8299 will signal the start of a new upswing. The first target is $9.1668. If the bulls scale $10 levels, a rally to $15 is possible.

ADA/USD
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK), and Ken Kodama, CEO of Emurgo have demanded the resignation of Michael Parsons, chairman of the Cardano Foundation. They have cited lack of performance and the non-responsive attitude of the council and the chairman as a “great frustration.” The Foundation is yet to respond.

The possibility of Coinbase listing the coin is doing the rounds. If successful, it might give a boost to Cardano’s price. So, is it worth buying? Let’s find out.

ADA

The ADA/USD pair has been in a long-term downtrend. It has fallen about 94 percent from the highs of $1.396281, reached on January 05. Various attempts to start a new uptrend have failed as higher levels attract selling.

For the past one month, the digital currency is trying to form a range close to the bottom. If the bears break down of $0.060105, it will resume its downtrend.

On the upside, the bulls will have to scale $0.094256 and $0.111843 to signal strength. A sequence of higher highs and higher lows will herald the start of a new uptrend. If the bulls breakout and close (UTC time frame) above $0.111843 for three days in a row, a move to $0.2-$0.23 is probable. Medium-term traders should wait for a new uptrend to start before initiating any long positions.

Google's past relationship with bitcoin and cryptocurrency has been fraught, to say the least — last month the search giant partially rolled back its ban on advertisements for cryptocurrencies, allowing regulated cryptocurrency exchanges to buy ads in the U.S. and Japan.

The move was widely put down to regulators' progress in reining in the "wild west" industry, as well as moves by some of the world's biggest banks and financial services companies to adopt and integrate bitcoin and cryptocurrencies into their products.

Now, in an ad for Google's new Call Screen service, designed to allow people to interact with callers before answering the phone, the U.S. search giant has joked about the sky-high cost of mining bitcoin and cryptocurrency — with one character in the ad asking another whether he's "going to live [that cryptocurrency] lie?"

The light-hearted Google ad (you can watch it in full here) involves one character's electricity provider calling him to warn him of his high electricity bill, which he blames on "cryptocurrency mining [taking] a lot of energy."

He is then told cryptocurrency isn't "real" money, to which he responds: "Well, I've got news for you, money isn't real."

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining's high energy costs have become a common criticism leveled against the burgeoning industry, with many suggesting its power use is unsustainable and makes bitcoin and cryptocurrency unsuitable for mainstream adoption.

The CEO of world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance said he “hoped others would follow” his decision to donate all listing fees to charity after a sudden announcement Monday, October 8.

According to the announcement, beginning “immediately” meanwhile, Binance will not only donate all such fees to charitable causes for the “greater good,” but also allow developers themselves to name the amount they pay, without demanding a minimum fee.

“Binance will continue to use the same high standard for the listing review process,” the announcement continues.

“A large donation does not guarantee or in any way influence the outcome of our listing review process.”


Confirming the news on Twitter, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao capped a period of controversy surrounding Binance, during which industry sources and users alike criticized the platform for the allegedly exorbitant fees it charges developers to list altcoins.

In August, Christopher Franko, creator of blockchain platform Expanse, uploaded to social media what appeared to show a Binance representative ask for 400 BTC ($2.6 million) to list its in-house token.

While Zhao subsequently claimed the material was fake, he argued that it was the quality of the asset which was clinched the listing process, avoiding details about Binance’s mysterious listing fee structure.

“We don't list shitcoins even if they pay 400 or 4,000 BTC,” Zhao tweeted following Franko’s complaint, noting the exchange had listed several major assets without charging a fee:

“...[The] Question is not ‘how much does Binance charge to list?’ but ‘is my coin good enough?’ It’s not the fee, it's your project! Focus on your own project!”

Binance is currently the world’s largest crypto exchange by daily trade volumes, seeing about $806.5 million in trades over the past 24 hours to press time.

Digital currency wallet and exchange Abra has launched support for a new token, BIT10, that tracks the Bitwise 10 Large Cap Crypto Index, according to an announcement published Oct. 3.

The Bitwise 10 Large Cap Crypto Index was developed by cryptocurrency asset management firm Bitwise Asset Management and is reportedly listed exclusively on Abra. The index tracks the ten largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, currently representing 80 percent of the total crypto market capitalization.

Per the announcement, any investor is now able to acquire the BIT10 token through the Abra app, with a $5 minimum investment. Hunter Horsley, the CEO at Bitwise, said:

"Index investing is extremely popular in stocks, bonds, and crypto because it gives investors diversified exposure without having to constantly monitor news and try to predict which assets will be most valuable. So far in the crypto space, index investing has only been available to institutions and accredited investors."

The cost of each BIT10 token reflects the value of 10 coins in the index, while the token’s positions are reportedly held in multi-signature smart contracts on the Bitcoin (BTC) or Litecoin (LTC) blockchains. The press release further explains the operational principle:

“Once invested, Abra and the user are entering into a smart contract that effectively pegs the asset invested (either fiat currency or cryptocurrency) to the same amount of BIT10 tokens. Abra will get a real-time price feed from Bitwise Asset Management and the BIT10 investor will see the market movement up or down reflected in the price of their BIT10 tokens.”

Last month, Abra enabled the direct purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies for European bank accounts. Customers can now transfer euros or several other national currencies directly to their wallet which can, in turn, can be converted into the 28 cryptocurrencies supported by Abra.

In March, Abra’s CEO Bill Barhydt forecasted that “all hell will break loose” in BTC and altcoin markets this year. Barhydt said that he talked with hedge funds, high networth individuals, and speculators, who saw a “huge” opportunity in the volatility in the crypto markets. “Once that happens, all hell will break loose. Once the floodgates are opened, they're opened,” Barhydt added.

Which of the two can really hurt a feeling, or a person's personality ? Both of them can affect a person's personality when they abuse , but which of them?
