Die Anzahl der Ethereum-Knoten hat die Anzahl der Knoten im Bitcoin-Netzwerk fast überschritten, was einen Anstieg der Aktivitäten im Vorfeld von ETH 2.0 zeigt.

Die Daten von Ethernodes zeigen, dass die Anzahl der Netzwerkknoten seit dem 16. November bis heute stark zugenommen hat.

Vorwegnahme von Ethereum 2.0

Die Gesamtzahl der Ethereum-Knoten beträgt nun 11 161, gegenüber knapp 9000 vor einem Monat. Dieser Anstieg hat Ethereum in ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen mit den 11.360 Knoten von Bitcoin gebracht.

Der Anstieg der Knotenpunkte fällt mit der großen Vorfreude auf Ethereum 2.0 zusammen, dessen Start für den 1. Dezember geplant ist.

Knoten spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Überprüfung von Transaktionen auf der Ethereum-Blockkette. Die Zunahme der Anzahl der Knoten ist ein Indikator für das Vertrauen, das die Benutzer in Ethereum haben.

Mehrere andere Metriken im Zusammenhang mit der Aktivität des Ethereum-Netzwerks haben in den letzten zwei Wochen einen ebenso drastischen Anstieg erfahren. Der Depotvertrag von ETH 2.0, der am 4. November in Betrieb genommen wurde, erreichte die für einen Start am 1. Dezember erforderliche Schwelle.

Die Bakenkette wird parallel zur aktuellen Blockkette laufen, und ihr Start ist einer der größten Meilensteine in der Geschichte von Ethereum, auch wenn viele der vorgeschlagenen Änderungen zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erfolgen werden.

Der Mitbegründer von Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, legte in einem kürzlich erschienenen Reddit AMA einen zusammenfassenden Fahrplan für die Entwicklung und den erwarteten Nutzen vor.
Aufholen von Bitcoin

Der sprunghafte Anstieg der Aktivitäten auf Ethereum ist nicht überraschend, vor allem, da ETH 2.0 vor der Tür steht. Beide Netzwerke befinden sich im Aufwärtstrend, und auch die Stimmung der Anleger für Bitcoin steigt in die Höhe.

Bitcoin: Anzahl aktiver Adressen

Auch Bitcoin hatte in den vergangenen Monaten eine starke Entwicklung zu verzeichnen, was weitgehend auf die Zahl der institutionellen Anleger zurückzuführen ist, die sich dem Markt angeschlossen haben.

Dazu gehören die Unterstützung von PayPal und das Interesse von Hedgefondsmanagern wie Dan Tapiero von Gold Bullion International. Sowohl Privatanleger als auch institutionelle Investoren haben von einem möglichen Preisanstieg als Folge davon gesprochen.

Bitcoin befindet sich derzeit in der Nähe seines Allzeithochs, obwohl die vergangene Woche volatil war. Das Vermögen bewegt sich derzeit um die 18.500 $-Marke.

Es ist zwar nicht sicher, ob es dieses Mal ein neues Allzeithoch erreichen wird, aber die Stimmung der Anleger ist sicherlich hoch.

According to one analyst, Bitcoin is on track to hit $22,000: he cites four factors that could boost its momentum

Philip Swift, analyst at Bitcoin (BTC) and creator of Lookintobitcoin.com, has outlined four reasons why BTC is headed for $22,000. Several fundamental and technical factors indicate that the momentum of the main cryptocurrency is strengthening.

The percentage of HODL for one year, the decline in Bitcoin reserves on exchanges, neutral funding rates and institutional accumulation suggest a sustained increase for BTC. Swift explained:

„Is the % of HODL for one year still very high? Yes, it is. Are people taking Bitcoin away from exchanges? Yes, they are. Is the funding rate still neutral? Yes, it is. Are the institutions still buying? Yes, they are. Well, see you at $22,000 in a few weeks when the price reaches the 350 day x 2 moving average of the Golden Ratio Multiplier“.
Since October 1, the beginning of the fourth quarter, the price of Bitcoin has increased from $10,773 to $17,300 on Binance.

HODL percentage shows investor confidence
The Bitcoin community defines long-time BTC owners as „HODLer. The One-Year HODL Wave represents the growth in the number of investors who hold BTC for more than a year.

Since the collapse in March, the One-Year HODL Wave has grown from 59% to 62% and more. It is currently at an all-time high, indicating a clear trend of accumulation.

When the number of HODLer increases, it shows an interest in buying and storing Bitcoin for a long time. The current trend may suggest that investors expect a larger increase in the long term.

Funding rates are neutral

During bullish cycles, Bitcoin’s funding rates can rise significantly while long or buyers overwhelm short-sellers.

The futures market on Bitcoin uses the funding rate mechanism to ensure balance in the market. If there are longer than short, the funding rate becomes positive. In this case, the buyers have to compensate the short sellers, and the same is true for the opposite case.

The average funding rate of perpetual futures contracts on Bitcoin is around 0.01%. In recent months, the funding rate has remained close to this value, falling below it on some occasions.

This shows a fair balance between buyers and sellers, indicating that the market is not yet overheated.

Bitcoin’s reserves on exchanges are decreasing
As reported yesterday by Cointelegraph, BTC 145,000 left the exchanges in the last month.

Bitcoin’s monthly outflow from the exchanges, equivalent to $2.3 billion, suggests investors‘ intention to hold on to their BTCs over the long term.

Investors must deposit Bitcoin on the exchanges in order to sell them. As a result, increased outflows usually reveal that investors expect to hold BTC for extended periods of time.

Institutional accumulation is growing
In the United States, Grayscale remains the preferred Bitcoin access point for institutional investors. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust is the closest investment vehicle to an exchange-traded fund, being publicly listed in the United States.

According to Grayscale, the company now owns more than BTC 500,000, which at a unit price of $17,000 is worth over $8.5 billion.

The institutions have continued to accumulate Bitcoin during its strong recovery since early 2020. BTC’s resilience throughout the year, in addition to its consistently better performance than gold, has made its function as a value reserve a more convincing aspect for institutions.

After the US election, Bitcoin could have a new advocate in a high position.

In an interview with ABC News, the newly elected US Senator Cynthia Lummis reiterated her support for Bitcoin (BTC), specifically mentioning that she „hopes to bring Bitcoin into the national debate“

In an excerpt from the program „Good Morning America“ (GMA), the soon-to-be senator from Wyoming made the appropriate statements, referring to her experience as former Treasury Secretary of the state. Lummis is thus probably the highest-ranking politician who appears as an advocate for the market-leading cryptocurrency.

“I am the former Treasury Secretary of our state and invested its permanent sovereign wealth fund. I was looking for a good store of value and found it at Bitcoin. Our own national currency is affected by inflation, but Bitcoin is not. A total of only 21 million Bitcoin Evolution will be mined and that’s it. There is only a limited amount in circulation. I am therefore confident that they will become an important player in store of value in the future, and for a long time to come. “

At the same time, the senator weighed down moderator Sara Haines‘ suggestions that Bitcoin would be used for tax evasion and money laundering. She did not go into this further

As previously reported by Cointelegraph , Lummis is an early adopter of Bitcoin. The politician had already started investing in cryptocurrency in 2013 after her son-in-law Will Cole, who works for the crypto company Unchained Capital, convinced her to do so.

While the media primarily emphasizes that Lummis is Wyoming’s first female senator, the crypto community is hoping that she will also be the first MP to stand up for Bitcoin.

Gemini cryptocurrency exchange ha ufficialmente aggiunto un’onrampa di valuta in euro fiat per gli utenti in Europa, nonché opzioni di trading con la sterlina britannica.

Secondo un annuncio ufficiale dell’azienda, gli utenti potranno ora depositare euro e utilizzarli per fare trading sulla piattaforma Gemini.

Gli utenti potranno acquistare tutte le valute criptate disponibili in euro utilizzando l’applicazione mobile e il sito web Gemini. Gli utenti possono utilizzare carte di debito o effettuare depositi in euro da conti bancari attraverso la rete di bonifico SWIFT o attraverso un bonifico SEPA.

Inoltre Gemini ha aggiunto alla sua piattaforma ActiveTrader anche coppie di trading tra la sterlina britannica e Bitcoin ed Ethereum – che l’azienda definisce la sua „piattaforma di crypto trading ad alte prestazioni“ che offre un’esperienza di „livello professionale“. La piattaforma dispone di strumenti avanzati che includono grafici, tipi di ordini multipli, aste e block trading.

L’espansione europea continua

I Gemelli sono diventati uno dei primi cambi di valuta criptata ad essersi registrati presso la Financial Conduct Authority del Regno Unito nell’agosto 2020. All’inizio dell’anno l’istituto aveva modificato le leggi antiriciclaggio esistenti, che ora richiedono a tutte le imprese basate sulla crittovaluta di registrarsi presso la FCA prima del gennaio 2021.

Gemini ha poi annunciato ufficialmente la sua espansione nel Regno Unito e il successivo supporto delle coppie di trading di criptovaluta con la sterlina britannica a settembre. Il trasferimento ha fatto seguito alla concessione da parte della FCA di una licenza di Electronic Money Institution a Gemini.

Secondo quanto riferito, Gemini è stata una delle prime aziende ad essere approvata dalla FCA in concomitanza con il processo di registrazione dei criptoasset della Quinta Direttiva sul riciclaggio di denaro (5MLD).

Il lancio del supporto della sterlina ha inoltre fornito agli utenti un supporto diretto fiat onramp per gli utenti attraverso una partnership con il gruppo londinese BCB Group. La società di servizi finanziari digitali consente depositi e prelievi istantanei in sterline inglesi.

La partnership semplificherebbe anche le interazioni di Gemini con le diverse valute e banche fiat attraverso l’uso dell’API di BCB Group. Altri importanti scambi di criptovalute, tra cui Bitstamp, Coinbase, Galaxy Digital e Kraken, si avvalgono dei conti commerciali e della liquidità di mercato forniti da BCB Group.

Winklevoss costruendo verso le proprie previsioni

Gemini è stata fondata dai rinomati fratelli gemelli Cameron e Tyler Winklevoss, che sono diventati famosi per aver citato in giudizio il fondatore di Facebook Mark Zuckerberg per aver utilizzato essenzialmente idee e codice di base che hanno portato alla creazione della piattaforma di social media.

Da allora la coppia ha rivolto tutta la sua attenzione al mondo delle crittocittà e ha fatto passi da gigante nel guidare l’adozione a catena di blocchi e l’uso della crittocittà attraverso l’attività di lobbying per il suo utilizzo e la creazione della propria piattaforma di scambio.

All’inizio di quest’anno Tyler Winklevoss ha pubblicato un rapporto che delinea una serie di motivi per cui ritiene che in futuro il Bitcoin sarà valutato a 500.000 dollari per BTC. Mentre continuano ad espandere la loro impronta attraverso Gemini, i gemelli Winklevoss stanno svolgendo un ruolo importante nell’aprire l’accesso alle valute crittografiche a un numero sempre maggiore di persone in tutto il mondo.
