Steve Wozniak richt een blokketen-gebaseerd platform op, China test de e-yuan, Microstrategy wil nieuwe bitcoin kopen, en JPMorgan ziet bitcoin als een serieuze concurrent voor goud. Top crypto nieuws van de week.

Een andere opwindende week in de crypto ruimte loopt ten einde. Een compact overzicht van de belangrijkste gebeurtenissen rond Bitcoin en Co.

Steve Wozniak richt „Efforce“ op.

Apple mede-oprichter Steve Wozniak heeft „Efforce“ opgericht. Het platform, dat gebaseerd is op blokketentechnologie, wil de markt voor energie-efficiëntie fundamenteel veranderen door energieprojecten te beveiligen. Het doel is om het voor iedereen gemakkelijker te maken om toegang te krijgen tot energieprojecten. Hiervoor heeft het bedrijf de WOZX-munt op de beurs geïntroduceerd, waarvan de waarde direct door het dak is gegaan. Vanaf 0,1 dollar sprong de prijs in een mum van tijd naar 2,88 dollar. Hiermee is de penning met 2.800 procent gestegen.

China mengt E-Yuan onder de mensen

In de Chinese stad Suzhou kwam op 11 december een CBDC-tombola tot een einde. De burgers van de stad maakten daarin kans op 100.000 pakketten van 200 digitale yuan per stuk. Nu kunnen de burgers de munt uitgeven op het komende „Double12“ festival tot 27 december. Veel winkels in de stad hebben al aangekondigd dat ze de e-yuan zullen accepteren. Zo heeft e-commerce gigant JD.com. China is al enige tijd bezig met het testen van de invoering van een digitale munt. Eerder waren er al soortgelijke proefnemingen in de stad Shenzhen.

Microstrategie wil meer bitcoin kopen

De Amerikaanse softwarefabrikant Microstrategy heeft opnieuw aangekondigd voornemens te zijn Bitcoin te kopen. Dit is volgens een verklaring op 7 december. Daarbij is het IT-bedrijf van plan om een investering van 400 miljoen dollar te doen. Het geld is afkomstig van de verkoop van converteerbare obligaties (senior convertible notes) aan institutionele beleggers. De koers van het aandeel Microstrategy (MSTR) kon profiteren van de aankondiging en steeg al snel met 2,5 procent. Tot nu toe werkt de strategie van de Amerikaanse serviceprovider om Bitcoin te gebruiken als haar belangrijkste reserve-activum. Vooral de Bitcoin-rally van de afgelopen weken heeft de ondernemingswaarde van Microstrategy gekatapulteerd.

JPMorgan ziet Bitcoin als een serieuze concurrent van goud.

JPMorgan gelooft dat de acceptatie van Bitcoin en andere cryptokringen in de reguliere financiële wereld goud zal schaden. Nog maar een paar weken geleden getuigde JPMorgan van de mooie toekomst van Bitcoin, en sinds oktober hebben de Bitcoin-fondsen te maken met een enorme kapitaalinstroom van institutionele beleggers. Volgens JPMorgan’s kwantitatieve strateeg Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou zal deze trend zich op lange termijn voortzetten en zullen steeds meer instellingen in digitaal goud investeren. JPMorgan is dus een van de weinige Wall Street banken die een grote verschuiving van goud naar cryptocurrencies voorspellen.

Airbnb gaat openbaar

Het in Californië gevestigde accommodatieplatform Airbnb maakte zijn beursdebuut op de avond van 09 december. Bij het ter perse gaan ligt de koers van het aandeel net onder de USD 150 (EUR 124). Ondanks het enorme verlies aan inkomsten in de toeristische sector, besloot het bedrijf na diverse malen uitstel naar de beurs te gaan. De uitgifteprijs was 68 dollar. In de IPO-toepassing heeft het bedrijf ook positief gereageerd op een mogelijke implementatie van cryptocurrencies. Het zou dan ook niet verwonderlijk zijn als het bedrijf op zijn minst de marktleider Bitcoin als betaalmiddel zou toelaten.

OMG Network, the Ethereum (ETH) based scaling network, has been acquired by a subsidiary of Genesis Block, a Hong Kong based OTC trading company. Could this be a sign of renewal for the project formerly known as OmiseGo?

OMG Network acquired by an industry giant
The Layer 2 scaling solution based on Ethereum, OMG Network, ex-OmiseGo, has been acquired Genesis Block Ventures (GBV). This company is a subsidiary of Genesis Block, a Hong Kong-based over-the-counter (OTC) trading company.

Described as a „silent giant“ in the Asian cryptomatics industry, GBV has been actively involved in the development of decentralised finance (DeFi) in 2020. This would have notably established close links with numerous projects in Bitcoin Legacy the sector and above all platforms such as Binance and FTX.

GBV acquired OMG Network from SYNQA, its former parent company, which raised $80 million as part of its Series C financing round last June. As a result of this acquisition, the team and project activities are transferred from SYNQA to GBV.

Although the amount of the acquisition has not been disclosed, it is likely to exceed $100 million.

Although OMG Network has been rather discreet lately, the project still attracts major players in the ecosystem. Also last June, Tether’s USDT stablecoin became part of the network, an initiative justified by its practicality and performance.

Time for renewal for OMG Network?
Following this acquisition, a number of integrations and collaborations are being prepared. GBV and OMG Network will work hand in hand to explore new approaches. The project is expected to enter the world of decentralised finance (DeFi) in the near future, notably with lending and trading platforms based on its network.

Since the beginning of this trend, OMG Network has not really been in demand, although the network is fully capable of hosting DeFi applications. As GBV states in its press release, OMG Network’s initial objectives will remain unchanged in the short term.

Of course, its native token, the OMG, will remain the token powering OMG Network. Moreover, the news has been rather well received. The price of the OMG has risen by almost 20% in just 40 minutes, from $3.7 to over $4.4. A rapid rise that will nevertheless have quickly stopped in its tracks:

This major ally should help the project to stand out from its competitors and to come back to the forefront. Thanks to GBV’s relationships with the world’s largest exchange platforms, they may welcome new services linked to OMG Network.

However, it should be noted that OMG Network’s main interest lies in its network capacities, which are far superior to those of Ethereum at present.
