The price of Bitcoin and Ethereum spiked on Sunday and pushed through recent price resistance as the entire crypto market pumped higher. Bitcoin is up more than 5% in 24 hours to $47,020 at the time of writing, and Ethereum is up 5% to $3,292, according to CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin is now up 14% in the past week, Ethereum up 15%.

Other top coins rose as well: Polkadot (DOT) is up 7% in 24 hours, Dogecoin (DOGE) is up 6%, Solana (SOL) is up 5%, Avalanche (AVAX) is up 4%, XRP is up 3%, and Cardano (ADA) is up 3%.

It was not immediately clear what caused the rebound, but it’s likely a combination of many factors that have been gestating over the short and long term, including crypto news and broader market trends.

For example, the S&P 500 has risen for a week straight, and Bitcoin’s correlation with stocks is at a 17-month high. In addition, Do Kwon, creator of protocol Terra (LUNA), said in a Twitter Spaces that he plans to buy billions of dollars in Bitcoin and keep it in a reserve to back the stablecoin TerraUSD (UST). Luna Foundation’s official Bitcoin wallet address currently holds over $1.1 billion, and Kwon plans to accumulate up to $10 billion worth of BTC.

Bitcoin balances on exchanges are also at their lowest in more than three years according to Glassnode, signaling increased demand and an interest in moving Bitcoin off exchanges via cold storage methods like hardware wallets.

The next big business in crypto is ‘staking,’ according to a top expert. Here’s how it will work
It's risky, but some crypto investors are already earning an annual percentage yield of over 1,000% by “staking"—and a huge amount of passive income along the way.A lot of people have made a lot of money in crypto the last few years.
A lot have lost money, too.
It makes identifying the next big trend for increasing the value of both your cryptocurrency holdings and your irl currency—aka hard cash—essential, if at least just to protect your assets. David Lawant, director of research at Bitwise Asset Management, has his eye on the next big thing: “For the industry as a whole, we expect staking to become a big business,” says Lawant, who co-authored the CFA Institute Research Foundation’s book on crypto.

Corporate treasurers are the custodians of their companies’ balance sheets. They do this in several ways: by hedging risks, by matching assets to liabilities, by monitoring liquidity and cash flows and ultimately by generating a return from the cash sitting on their balance sheet.
In the last few years, this last task has become both more important and more difficult. The pandemic has put a primacy on yields, but at the same time, colossal central interventions have suppressed the yields that are on offer. Returns from bank accounts, money market funds and overnight repo markets – the traditional ways that corporate treasurers have found yield – are close to or at zero. When taking rising inflation into account, the returns are largely negative.
It’s unsurprising, then, that a growing cohort of companies is looking to incorporate crypto currencies into their corporate treasuries. This is not only to match any current or future liabilities in the same currency, but also to harness the highly attractive yields that crypto markets can offer in comparison to traditional markets.

TeraWulf (WULF), the environmentally-minded bitcoin miner backed by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow that went public in December, sees itself reaching a hashrate range of 4.7 to 5.1 exahash per second (EH/s) by the end of 2022, according to a statement.

The Easton, Md.-based company also expects to be able to successfully build out over 400 megawatts of mining facility in 2023, raising its hashrate to 12.1 to 17.2 EH/s.

The miner also reiterated its expectations of reaching 800 MW and 23 EH/s of mining capacity by 2025.

The Bitcoin network’s total hashrate was 209.7 EH/s as of March 16, according to Glassnode data. By comparison, Marathon Digital (MARA), one of the largest bitcoin miners, said it sees a hashrate of 23.3 EH/s by early 2023.

For this year, TeraWulf is expecting a total of 210MW of power capacity, but notes the company could expand to raise power capacity to 235MW, if the macroeconomic and capital markets improve.

What to know

After 24 hours of rumors and online speculation, Yuga Labs, the company responsible for the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection, has acquired CryptoPunks and Meebits from the developer Larva Labs.
Yuga Labs and Larva Labs made a joint announcement on Twitter on Friday evening.
"We now own the brands, copyright in the art, and other IP rights for both collections, along with 423 CryptoPunks and 1711 Meebits," reads Yuga Labs' blog post.
Larva Labs says it will retain the rights to its other big NFT collection, Autoglyphs, "as well as a group of our favorite Punks and Meebs."
Bored Ape Yacht Club is the most valuable NFT collection in crypto; CryptoPunks are the second most valuable.
Yuga Labs also says it plans to grant the commercial rights to all CryptoPunk and Meebit images to their respective owners. The company has already done this for Bored Ape owners – Yuga Labs owns the Bored Ape Yacht Club, but each token holder is free to monetize their specific ape. Holders have used that idea to spin off their own NFT collections based on particular apes, or to sign their apes with major record labels.
In February, the company was reported to be in talks with the VC powerhouse Andreessen Horowitz about an investment that would value it at around $5 billion.

Helium Network Passing Half-Million Hotspots Could Fire Up HNT Price
The crypto-powered distributed network of long-range wireless hotspots has amassed over half a million miners across the world in just two years. But what's next for the HNT token?
The Helium Network, a crypto-powered distributed network of long-range wireless hotspots, has amassed over half a million miners across the world in just two years and is expected to cross the 1 million mark in the next six months.
Now, some crypto-market analysts are asking if Helium’s HNT token is poised to rise in value – and what the risks might be.
A Helium hotspot is a small device that plugs into a regular electric outlet, taps into existing internet service and extends that Wi-Fi for miles – providing a connection to local devices as well as acting as a node on the network. Hotspot owners are rewarded in cryptocurrency – the HNT tokens – for operating the hotspots.

The NFT Thesis

The NFT craze is about ownership. The digital world allows for mass production of anything, and so in the crowded noises of the internet, having an establish and verifiable ownership of something is increasingly valuable.

In 2021, we saw this pop up in a few ways: collectibles and artwork. It makes sense that these two places were some of the first NFT crazes since both take ownership quite seriously. Any fan of collectibles will know how important items like a certificate of authenticity would be. NFTs solve that by keeping entire histories on a visible chain like Ethereum (ETH-USD).

Sites like Rally, Otis, and Autograph.io have started to put prized collectibles up for “fractionalized” investing. Some of these use actually NFTs (providing a token of ownership into a wallet) while others are simply using the principle of democratized investing. The NBA (through the popular TopShot), MLB, and NFL are also getting into this - where the idea of a “collectible” is expanded to a highlight or image.

In the art world, collectors are constantly requiring proof of authenticity, as the forgery issue has crept into art sales. Again, NFTs come in here to provide unique and trusted ownership.

Crypto ownership is on the rise, but investors are not abandoning traditional financial services as a result of their intensifying interest in cryptoassets. On the contrary, crypto investors are more likely to use multiple financial services providers than the general population is, suggests a recent report by global business intelligence firm Morning Consult.

The report, focused on consumer banking and payments, and based on survey interviews of more than 50,000 adults across the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, indicates crypto’s ascension to mainstream status.

We are still in a downward movement. The growth after the NFP was quite large, but as I said, this should not be taken as the beginning of a one-way movement. NFP is an indicator of the US labor market. Labor market indicator = indicator of economic activity in the country. Together with the NFP, we saw an increase in the unemployment rate by 0.1%. This allowed investors to draw short-term conclusions. At the moment, I think that we should consolidate at this level with a slight rollback down. Over the weekend, I think it makes no sense for the bulls to pull the price up, and from Monday there will be new data and new moods.

13 Firms Hoard $1 Trillion In Cash (We're Looking At You Apple)

S&P 500 companies with most cash are squatting on a trillion bucks and not rushing to give it to the rightful owners: investors.

Just 13 non-financial companies in the S&P 500, including mainly tech giants like Apple (AAPL), Google-parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and IBD Long-Term Leader Microsoft (MSFT), are sitting on cash and investments of more than a $1 trillion, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of updated data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSmith.

Apple alone on Thursday reported sitting on $202.5 billion in cash and investments. That's 7.4% of all the S&P 500's cash. And it's up nearly 4% from 2021.

The massive cash pile held by just 13 companies accounts for nearly 40% of the $2.7 trillion held by all of the companies in the S&P 500. S&P 500 companies now have enough cash to give $8,299 to every man, woman and child in the U.S.

And investors want what's theirs.

S&P 500 Cash Back On Investors' Minds
Companies in the S&P 500 have roughly the same amount of cash now that they ended 2020 with. And that's the point. 2020 was a banner year for cash hoarding as companies hunkered down from the pandemic. Companies ended 2020 with roughly 20% more cash and investments than they had in 2019.

the big thing
The NFT market is still defying reason, but then again that’s kind of its thing. But one thing I’m especially unsure about lately as I see JPGs continue to sell for millions of dollars is… does any of this actually matter?

I’ve spent a lot of time over the last year grappling with the NFT market, at times I’ve lost sleep over it. As a reporter frequently covering this market, I don’t own or trade the little images myself, but that hasn’t stopped me from obsessing over the fluctuations in their prices and scouring Discords trying to follow the trends. I’ve tuned into countless Twitter Spaces and lurked subreddits trying to understand it all. I’ve also done my best to keep most of that out of this newsletter — it’s a weird niche interest that’s especially niche at the moment — but as Bitcoin flirts with a new all-time-high and the NFT mania persists, just consider this a timely update.

So, in the past month, investors have continued dropping billions upon billions of dollars on NFTs. OpenSea has seen more than $3 billion in transaction volume in the past 30 days, and that number is actually way down quite a bit from August, showcasing just how much off-peak money continues to flow into NFTs.

All of that money has gone to some colorful places. One of the bigger success stories of the past month has been the platform CrypToadz which investors dumped $100 million into. They look like this. In the past couple weeks, a brand new project called MekaVerse saw $130 million in transaction volume. They’re a bit prettier, but would you spend more than $8,000 on one? The platform Cryptoslam (where I pulled most of the data I reference here) is tracking 163 platforms which did more than $1 million in volume in the past 30 days, a number which doesn’t even account for individual artists selling their work on platforms like OpenSea.

First Pakistani NGO to Use NFT Technology for Fund Raising Purposes

Through this step, Tayaba Organization has become the first Pakistani NGO – and one of the first global establishments– to implement the innovative blockchain-based NFT technology using crypto for fundraising purposes in the welfare division. Moreover, the NFT fundraising campaign instantly gained traction on Instagram with an escalating number of people showing interest in the initiative due to its originality and technological inventiveness.

PARIS: "NFT" is quickly becoming the acronym of 2021, offering a new way to sell digital art online, and music stars including Kings of Leon and Grimes have been quick to jump on the bandwagon.

For many, it remains a baffling concept, but a NFT ("non-fungible token" -- pronounced "nifty") essentially offers collectors proof that they "own" a digital artwork by logging that ownership on the blockchain, the online database that underpins cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

12/01/2022

What is an NFT? What does NFT stand for?
Non-fungible token.

That doesn’t make it any clearer.

Right, sorry. “Non-fungible” more or less means that it’s unique and can’t be replaced with something else. For example, a bitcoin is fungible — trade one for another bitcoin, and you’ll have exactly the same thing. A one-of-a-kind trading card, however, is non-fungible. If you traded it for a different card, you’d have something completely different. You gave up a Squirtle, and got a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner, which StadiumTalk calls “the Mona Lisa of baseball cards.” (I’ll take their word for it.)
