Some mining companies listed on real exchanges are seeing significant gains this year. Hive Blockchain is up more than 300% since the beginning of 2020, outperforming Bitcoin itself. Could this interest in mining companies translate to Bitcoin itself seeing a boost in its value? Riot Blockchain, a different mining company has also seen big gains throughout 2020.
Dan Held, Head of Business on Kraken has recently stated that Bitcoin could reach $1,000,000. He also stated:
Satoshi purposely built blockchain tech to build Bitcoin. Blockchain tech sucks. It's terrible. It makes so many tradeoffs to build bitcoin that it is basically ineffective for almost anything else.
Adding that Bitcoin will eventually turn into a boring asset without volatility.
Industry
According to recent reports on Twitter and other platforms, Visa’s new patent to digitize dollars seems to include Ethereum. The patent also indicates that this will not be a fork or a private version of ETH. Of course, we should take the news with a grain of salt as it is only a patent.
Yet another derivatives exchange is launching. Andy Cheung, former COO at OKEx is launching his new exchange within one month.
Four years ago, BitMEX introduced bitcoin perpetual swap, and it still remains to be the most popular derivatives product because there are almost no new competitive products innovated since then,” said Cheung. To that end, ACDX plans to offer structured products that can be customized to meet each trader’s needs and risk appetite.
