Bitcoin Eyes $4K As Market Rallies, Bitmain Reports
$500 Million Loss Amid IPO Consideration, Coinbase Acquires Neutrino, Germany
Consults Blockchain Space and Seoul Plans Over $1 Billion in Blockchain and
Fintech Investment by 2022
The crypto market
began to rally on Sunday and has not showed signs of slowing yet. At press
time, total market cap is sitting at about $135 billion USD, according to data
from CoinMarketCap. This is up $15
billion from a market cap of $120 billion, where it had more or less been
sitting for just over a week. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading for
just under $4000, a level not seen since early January of this year. Following,
in terms of market cap, are Ether (ETH) and XRP, which are trading
for $148 and $0.34 at press time, respectively.
CoinDesk reports that
crypto mining giant Bitmain has posted a loss of $500 million for the third
quarter of 2018. The information was revealed in a recent update submitted to
the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx). Bitmain is currently awaiting approval for
an IPO application submitted to the exchange in September 2018.
Crypto exchange
giant Coinbase announced in a blog
post
today that they have acquired blockchain intelligence platform Neutrino. An
excerpt from the post explains how Neutrino will be an asset to Coinbase:
Blockchain intelligence is increasingly
important in the crypto ecosystem, and is necessary to achieve our mission of
bringing the open financial system to the world. By analyzing data on public
blockchains, Neutrino will help us prevent theft of funds from peoples’
accounts, investigate ransomware attacks, and identify bad actors. It will also
help us bring more cryptocurrencies and features to more people while helping
ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.
Reuters reports that
Germany is consulting companies and industry groups about blockchain. Being the
biggest economy in Europe, Germany has some 170 or so startup companies that
employ blockchain technology in some form. Such companies have been invited by
the state to offer input with regard to a potential future legal framework for
the technology.
South Korea’s Seoul
Metropolitan Government has announced plans for over $1 billion of investment
into startups in the blockchain and fintech space by 2022, according to an official announcement. Loosely
translated, the document states that 1.2 trillion won ($1.06 billion USD) from
the Seoul Innovation Growth Fund will be invested in Series A funding rounds
for such startups.
