Fantom Will Pay Back 15% of Token Fees to Some Projects

The move is part of an initiative to drive demand for block space, which help add to the value proposition of FTM tokens.

Fantom blockchain will reward projects that utilize its network and contribute toward high usage of gas fees in a bid to drive increased demand for block space, developers said Sunday in a tweet.

Eligible applications will be rewarded 15% of the gas fees they produce, providing developers with marginal extra income.

This is part of a planned move called the “dApp Gas Monetization Program,” which passed a community governance vote earlier this year.

That proposal sought to reduce fantom’s current burn rate in order to redirect more network fees directly to applications building on Fantom. Now that it has passed, the implementation will reduce Fantom’s burn rate from 20% to 5% and redirect the 15% reduction toward gas monetization.

This gas monetization will reward in-demand applications, retain developers and is said to help support Fantom’s network infrastructure.

Gas refers to a type of fee paid by blockchain users in the native token of that blockchain, such as fantom (FTM) in this case. Fees on Fantom are fractions of a few cents per transaction, but add up to a significant amount over time – one that is borne by the users of Fantom-based projects.

Data shows some projects are already benefiting from the monetization program just hours after its Sunday implementation.

Cross-chain bridge Stargate Finance has been 8,300 FTM, worth just over $2,600 at current prices. Decentralized exchange SpookySwap earned 978 FTM, or just over $300.

Dogecoin Chart Pattern Suggests Volatility Explosion Ahead

A technical analysis indicator called Bollinger bandwidth suggests dogecoin’s unusual calm could soon end with a pronounced move in either direction.

Dogecoin (DOGE), the meme cryptocurrency known for its rapid price moves, has been unusually calm this year, underperforming market leaders bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) by a significant margin.

One technical analysis indicator called Bollinger bandwidth suggests it may be the calm before the storm.

The indicator illustrates periods of varying volatility relative to the price gyrations and is calculated by dividing the spread between the Bollinger bands by the 20-day simple moving average (SMA) of the cryptocurrency’s price. Bollinger bands are volatility lines placed two standard deviations above and below the 20-day SMA average of prices.

Periods of rising volatility are marked by a sharp increase in the distance between the two bands and the widening of the bandwidth. Conversely, the two bands contract and the width narrows or declines during a volatility lull.

An usually wide or high bandwidth indicates the ongoing bullish/bearish trend is nearing an end. Meanwhile, an unusually low bandwidth suggests “the market may be about to initiate a pronounced move in either direction, as Fidelity

When the bandwidth is too high, it’s a sign the current bullish/bearish trend may be ending. Meanwhile, an unusually low bandwidth suggests the market may be about to exit a consolidation pattern with a pronounced move in either direction, as Fidelity’s explainer says.

Dogecoin’s daily chart shows the bands have recently tightened, pushing the bandwidth down to 0.06, the lowest since February 2019, according to TradingView.

So, dogecoin could soon see a volatility explosion in line with the bandwidth’s tendency to alternate between expansion and contraction. Note that the impending volatility explosion is agnostic to price direction, meaning the big move can be bearish or bullish.

At press time, dogecoin traded near $0.073. The world’s leading meme cryptocurrency, currently valued at $10.22 billion, has risen just 3% this year. Meanwhile, market leaders bitcoin and ether have gained 68% and 60% respectively, per CoinDesk data.

EU Investment Firms Should Clearly State Crypto Is Unregulated, Watchdog Says

Companies that market crypto alongside traditional securities might mislead consumers about access to fair advice and compensation, the European Securities and Markets Authority worries.

Investment firms in the European Union that offer crypto alongside more traditional products could be misleading their consumers into a false sense of security, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) said in a Thursday statement.

The EU agency said it’s worried that firms may use a seal of regulatory approval they have to offer traditional finance (TradFi) stocks or funds to make customers believe they’ll have access to sound financial advice or compensation schemes in the event of crypto mishaps.

EU rules known as the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) ensure investment intermediaries promote only appropriate financial products to clients – but don’t always apply to more exotic investment opportunities like gold, real estate or non-transferable loans.

The EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA) is set to bring MiFID-style rules to the sector, but the regime will only take effect in around 18 months. In the meantime, ESMA, a Paris-based agency that groups and coordinates national regulators, is worried some companies are encouraging and exploiting the ambiguity.

“ESMA recommends that investment firms take all necessary measures to ensure that clients are fully aware of the regulatory status of the product/service they are receiving and clearly disclose to clients when regulatory protections do not apply,” ESMA said, adding that regulatory approval shouldn’t be used as a promotional tool.

ESMA has previously warned people crypto can be risky, while an October paper highlighted novel threats such as hacks and consensus manipulation. The agency is also set to consult shortly on detailed secondary laws that will put MiCA into effect.

Crypto Exchange Coinone’s Former Exec Acknowledges Bribery Charges in South Korea: Report

A lawyer for the accused reportedly said he admits “the facts of the prosecution,” during a May 25 trial hearing.

A former executive of South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Coinone, who was accused of taking bribes in return for listing certain coins, has acknowledged the charges, local news agency Yonhap reported on Thursday.

“Mr Jeon,” Coinone’s former director of listing, was accused of receiving nearly 2 billion won ($1.51 million) in return for listing virtual assets such as “Furiever Coin,” which was listed exclusively on the exchange, and has since been linked to a kidnapping and murder investigation in the Gangnam district in Seoul. Jeon’s broker, known as “Mr Ko,” is accused of facilitating the listings.

At a trial hearing on May 25, a lawyer for the two reportedly said: “I admit the facts of the prosecution.”

“Basically, we are acknowledging the facts of the prosecution, but since we have not been able to view all the evidence, we will present a final opinion after review,” the lawyer added.

Coinone’s listing team leader and another broker have also been accused, but their lawyers said they have yet to finish reviewing evidence and will respond to the charges at the next trial hearing on June 15.

Coinone didn’t immediately respond to a CoinDesk request for comment.

Avalanche’s AVAX Token Remains Flat Ahead of its $130 Million Token Unlock

More than 9.3 million tokens will be unlocked Sunday, representing 1.2% of AXAX’s total supply.

Millions of AVAX tokens – the native crypto of the Avalanche blockchain – will be unlocked on Sunday and distributed to key players in that ecosystem, adding a major 1.2% increase in total supply.

The 9.3 million tokens entering circulation on May 27 were worth roughly $130 million at press time. They’re set to go to the Avalanche Foundation, strategic partners and Ava Labs, as well as an airdrop, said Patrick Sutton, Avalanche’s communications chief.

“Tokens from unlocks aren’t automatically put to use. It just means the Foundation can now use them, but it is at their discretion when and how to use them,” added Sutton.

AVAX is the gas to Avalanche’s smart contracts ecosystem and also used to secure the blockchain via staking. It has remained stable in the past 24 hours, standing at $14.20, CoinDesk data shows.

“Token unlocks freak people out in general, but the upcoming Avalanche unlock has been mapped out for a while now and most sophisticated actors have adjusted for it,” said Lindsey Winder, CEO of token infrastructure firm Hedgey Finance.

Data from crypto analytics firm Token Insights shows 358.55 million AVAX remains locked, though Sutton says the figure of remaining locked tokens is 96.06 million, about a quarter of Token Insights’ figure.

Stablecoin Issuer Lybra Finance Nears $100M in TVL

Lybra Finance was launched last month and uses liquid staking derivatives to offer a decentralized interesting-bearing stablecoin.

Lybra Finance, a protocol built on liquid staking derivatives that aims to provide a decentralized interest-bearing stablecoin, has seen its total value locked (TVL) skyrocket nearly 400% in the past two weeks, nearing $100 million as of Friday.

Launched one month ago, Lybra’s surge in TVL coincides with Lido upgrading to its second version on May 15, which enabled Lido users to unstake their stETH and receive ETH. According to Lybra documents, the protocol “leverages Lido Finance-issued ETH proof-of-stake and stETH as its primary components, with plans to support additional LSD assets in the future.”

LBR, the native token of the Lybra Protocol, which gives holders governance powers and access to the protocol’s revenue, has jumped 33.8% in the past 24 hours and 173% in the past seven days, standing at $2.23, CoinGecko data shows.

Decentralized exchanges hold 9.61% of the total LBR supply, a steady decline from 23% two weeks ago, according to blockchain data firm Nansen. Nansen also reports that smart money wallets hold 4.74% of the total LBR supply today, an increase from 0.82% on May 16, indicating that savvy crypto investors are accumulating the token.

Nansen considers a wallet to be “smart money” if it has profited at least $100,000 by providing liquidity or made multiple profitable trades on decentralized exchanges.

Bitcoin Moves Little on the Week Despite Debt Deal, Inflation Concerns

Bitcoin trades flat to move one step closer to logging its first losing month of 2023. Ether rises slightly but also seems headed for a negative May.

Bitcoin and ether took slightly divergent paths during the last full week of May. While ether rose 1.5%, bitcoin moved little to recently trade at about $26,700, a little below where it stood last Friday.

Ether’s year-to-date performance gap to bitcoin has narrowed to single digits with ETH gaining 52% YTD versus BTC’s 60% increase. Since May, the ETH/BTC ratio has increased 6.7%. Still both assets are in line to have their first losing month of 2023.

BTC and ETH’s seven-day performance ranked them sixth and 14th among cryptocurrencies with a market cap of $1 billion or more.

The weekly leaders were Render Token (RNDR) and Tron (TRX), up 21.9% and 7.6% respectively, while LDO and ALGO lagged, declining 8.5% and 9.3%

Investors have been focusing on President Joe Biden and U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s debt ceiling negotiations. While it’s widely expected that a deal will be reached ahead of the June 1 deadline, the two sides had yet to reach an agreement going into the Memorial Day weekend.

Markets were also weighing Friday’s Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) report showing U.S. prices rising more than expected in April. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.4%, versus expectations of a 0.3% increase.

The unexpected increase reduces the likelihood that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will pause interest rate hikes during its June 14 meeting.

According to the CME Fedwatch tool, the probability that interest rates would remain at the current target rate of 5%-5.25% declined from 83% to 38% this week. The probability of a 25 basis point increase rose from 17% to 62%.

Drawdowns across multiple sectors

All six sectors in the CoinDesk Market Index fell this week, with the Smart Contract Platform sector declining the least (0.2%). The Culture and Entertainment sector had the roughest week, falling 4%.

Of the 156 individual assets across the base of CMI sectors, only 20 finished the week in positive territory. Another standout, albeit one with a market cap of less than $1 billion, was decentralized computation token ARPA, up 88%. ARPA is trading 167.2% higher on the month, and over 200% higher over the last 12 months.

StanChart-Backed Zodia and LMAX Digital to Provide CoinShares With #prizmabet Crypto Trading Infrastructure

LMAX Digital and Zodia Custody are to provide institutional-grade trading infrastructure and custody to CoinShares.

A trio of European cryptocurrency firms are teaming up to bolster their digital asset trading offering to institutions.

Crypto exchange LMAX Digital and Standard Chartered-backed custodian Zodia Custody are to provide institutional-grade trading infrastructure and custody to digital asset manager CoinShares (CS.ST), according to an emailed announcement on Wednesday.

CoinShares will make use of LMAX’s trading capabilities and Zodia’s Interchange product, which allows clients to keep their assets on its platform, while their holdings are mirrored and available on an exchange for trading.

The three firms’ aim is to offer institutional adopters with the trading infrastructure, security and governance that they would expect in the traditional finance world, thereby assuaging concerns about the digital asset industry heightened by the events of the past year.

“This joint effort with Zodia Custody and LMAX Digital is aligned with our long-term strategy,” CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti said. “We are committed to shape a reference standard for digital asset management.”

Ripple Buys Crypto Custody Firm Metaco for $250M #prizmabet

Metaco will continue to operate as an independent business unit led by CEO and founder Adrien Treccani.

Blockchain firm Ripple has acquired Swiss-based crypto custody provider Metaco for $250 million, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

The purchase will allow Ripple to expand its offerings by incorporating the technology to custody, issue, and settle tokenized assets. Metaco offers customers crucial and secure custody infrastructure, allowing institutions to scale new business models in the crypto economy.

Diversifying into custody solutions will bring new revenue opportunities, Ripple said, adding that the acquisition is part of its strategy to broaden its presence beyond the U.S and its uncertain regulatory landscape.

In 2020, Ripple and some of its executives faced a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the unregistered sale of approximately $1.3 billion worth of XRP tokens.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently estimated that the legal battle will cost the company around $200 million, while also cautioning crypto entrepreneurs against establishing their businesses in the U.S. While the judge residing on the Ripple lawsuit, said on Tuesday that the regulator cannot seal documents tied to former official William Hinman’s 2018 speech on crypto and securities.

According to a company spokesperson, the acquisition was financed through a combination of cash and Ripple equity.

“Metaco is a proven leader in institutional digital asset custody with an exceptional executive branch and a truly unmatched customer track record,” said Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple.

Ripple will become the sole shareholder of Metaco, which will continue to operate as an independent business unit led by its founder and CEO Adrien Treccani.
