The number of cryptocurrencies has increased from about 2,000, with a market capitalization of over $200 billion in late 2017, to over 8,000, with a market capitalization of about $1.6 trillion. For context, the market capitalization of global equities is about $110 trillion, that of the S&P 500 stocks is $35 trillion and that of US Treasuries is $22 trillion. Reported trading volume in cryptocurrencies, as represented by the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, has increased sixfold, from an estimated $6.8 billion per day in late 2017 to $48.6 billion per day in May 2021.1 This data is based on what is called “clean data” from Coin Metrics; the total reported trading volume is significantly higher, but much of it is artificially inflated.2,3 For context, trading volume on US equity exchanges doubled over the same period.

  • Bitcoin Institutional Investor Analysis
    Bitcoin Institutional Investor Analysis LedgerMan, LedgerStat Capital1 Opening Premise History has shown that there is a 100% chance that FIAT money fails. It is just a matter of time. Some currencies last for a decade, some a couple of decades and still others such as the US dollar or the British pound have lasted multiple decades before losing most of their value. The fact is, all government issued currencies have failed over time. According to Austrian economic theory, money is a an economic good like any other. It’s marginal cost of production is zero and that is why it always fails. The issuers of FIAT money always print more of it in order to try and solve other problems other than just being money. Whether it is printed for social welfare, to pay for wars to bail out banks or to manage markets, we are currently witnessing government issuers of paper money attempting to solve more of the world’s problems with printed money. This inevitably leads to its failure. History has also shown that those that understand this concept and allocate a specific portion of their portfolio to gold and rebalance annually have benefited. Their portfolios have substantially increased returns with less risk. Since bitcoin was introduced a decade ago, it is inheriting the characteristics of hard/sound money with its fixed amount and increasing stock to flow ratio. With the recent drop in bitcoin price combined with its improvement in fundamentals, we believe an institutional investor is compelled to at least “’do the work” on bitcoin to determine if there is a possibility that bitcoin can become “digital gold” and perform the role that gold has performed for so many years as the “hard money” alternative to government-issued paper money.

A Regulatory and Economic Perplexity: Bitcoin Needs Just a Bit of Regulation Daniela Sonderegger [T]here is something special about Bitcoin that makes it inherently resistant to government control. It is built on code. It lives in the cloud. It is globalized and detached from the nation state, has no own institutional owner, operates peer to peer, and its transactions are inherently pseudonymous. It cannot be regulated in the same way as the stock market, government currency markets, insurance, or other financial sectors. —Jeffrey Tucker1 INTRODUCTION Set aside all of the legal and regulatory parameters and simply take a moment to imagine a world that functions on a single digitalized currency, regulated not by a central authority, but rather by the individual users who take part in the system.

  • Mastercard Creates Simpli Ed Payments Card O Ering For
    NEWS RELEASE Mastercard Creates Simplied Payments Card Oering for Cryptocurrency Companies 7/20/2021 Reduces friction in experience and provides greater choice for consumers by helping crypto companies oer card programs Suite of partners include Circle, Paxos, Evolve Bank & Trust, Metropolitan Commercial Bank, Uphold, BitPay, Apto Payments, i2c Inc. and Galileo Financial Technologies PURCHASE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mastercard announced today it will enhance its card program for cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges, making it simpler for partners to convert cryptocurrency to traditional at currency. Working with Evolve Bank & Trust and Paxos Trust Company, the leading blockchain infrastructure and regulated stablecoin issuance platform, and Circle, a global nancial technology rm and the principal operator of the USD Coin (USDC), a dollar digital currency or stablecoin, Mastercard and its partners will test this new capability to enable more banks and crypto companies to oer a card option to people wanting to spend their digital assets anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Today, when people spend cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ether, or Litecoin, it must enter and settle on Mastercard’s network as traditional at currency, such as the U.S. dollar. Until now, crypto providers planning to launch or expand card programs could nd it operationally challenging to perform the currency conversion, a critical step preceding the settlement on Mastercard’s network. Mastercard’s engagement with Evolve, Paxos and Circle solves this challenge for players across the industry. Mastercard announced in February 2021 it is preparing to enable select stablecoins directly on its network, expanding the future potential of digital assets and payments.

  • What We Have Today Is Not Bitcoin but BINO by Tim Swanson
    What we have today is not Bitcoin but BINO By Tim Swanson Yesterday I was told by a China-based WeChat user that I was “hating on a technology” and “expending energy trying to destroy it.” It being Bitcoin. This is untrue, I like some of the ideas in Bitcoin (the protocol) circa 2009 and work daily with startups to create value in this space. However, what currently is called “Bitcoin” is a shell, at most, of its former self for at least two reasons, both of which illustrate a couple miscalculations by Satoshi. The first and most important reason: Bitcoin and specifically, SHA-based proof-of-work, was irreparably ‘broken’ in July of 2010 by a German nicknamed ArtForz. He was the first person to figure out how to scale mining onto not just GPUs, but GPUs working within a farm (dubbed the ‘ArtFarm’). Several months ago I wrote a lengthy explanation of how he did it and how his farm evolved. Between July 2010 and January 2011 his farm accounted for (at its peak) around 25- 30% of all network hashrate and he generated well over 100,000 bitcoins. In December 2010, this scaling issue was further compounded by another European, Marek Palatinus who hails from The Czech Republic. He created the first mining pool, called Slush’s pool, which while still around, was later supplanted by dozens of other pools including notably, DeepBit, BTC Guild and GHash.io. What this centralization 18 months after its launch ultimately led to was the removal of the relative-anonymity of miners because in order to effectively remain competitive with hashrate for seigniorage rewards, miners increasingly needed larger amounts of capital.
