Ripple’s XRP Sales Down 73% in Q3 Compared to Previous Quarter

Blockchain payments network Ripple has announced that it sold $66.24 million worth of XRP in Q3 2019  down a staggering 73.66% compared to the record sale worth of $251.51 million in the previous quarter.
 According to the third quarterly report released on Oct. 18, Ripple had previously announced the plan to sell XRP tokens slower in Q3.



 Ripple’s XRP sale rate is lower than ETH’s inflation Ripple also stated that “XRP distribution rate since the beginning of the quarter has been lower compared to the inflation rates of ETH and LTC, and similar to BTC.”
 The company also addressed the allegations that it is dumping XRP on the market and manipulating its price, claiming that a significant portion of such ideas was spread by bot accounts on Twitter. Accusation of dumping reportedly often pointed to large movements of XRP as proof, but those “were in fact transfers between Ripple treasury and escrow management accounts.“
 Such transactions have no direct impact on the market, since they do not introduce new coins to it, the report claims.




 Twitter bots spread FUD Furthermore, Ripple also claimed that according to a tool developed by the Indiana University  bots are responsible for “49% of the share of conversation about BTC, 71% about ETH and 50% about XRP,” adding that this quarter has also seen an increased XRP-related activity among Twitter bots.
 As Cointelegraph recently reported, London-based Finastra  the third-largest financial services technology firm in the world  has partnered with Ripple to grant its customers access to the RippleNet blockchain network.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
