Here are 3 Reasons to Go Hard on Cardano (ADA) Before Institutional Investors Discover It

Published

Cardano

The crypto-markets are abuzz with news of a resurgent Bitcoin (BTC). The King of Crypto made some enormous gains last week that even John McAfee was wondering if this was another Bull run. The past week has been amazing and many crypto-enthusiasts believe this is the beginning of something great with the daily discoveries of more and more institutional investors getting into crypto.

There is the BlackRock investment firm that has declared its interest in blockchain technology as well as cryptocurrencies. There is the Swiss-based SIX stock exchange that plans on launching a fully integrated crypto exchange. Coinbase has also launched the Coinbase Custody service to store the digital assets of institutional investors and high net individuals.

This then brings us to three reasons why you should get some Cardano (ADA) before the institutional investors get wind of the wonderful digital asset.

To begin with, Cardano (ADA) is the cheapest digital asset in the top 10 according to market capitalization. ADA is currently trading at $0.166 at the moment of writing this. One can argue that there are too many ADA coins in circulation. There are currently close to 26 Billion ADA in circulation and a total supply of 31.11 Billion. But this is still less than the circulating supply of XRP (XRP) which stands at 39.3 Billion coins in circulation and another 60 Billion owned by the Ripple company.

This, in turn, means that once the ADA platform has integrated all the planned layers and protocols, the coin has the possibility of eclipsing XRP at an astronomical rate.

Secondly, and as mention, the ADA platform is currently being developed in layers and is the product of some elegant scientific research and work. The first layer of the platform is the settlement layer that is linked to a control layer. The latter is where there are plans for integrating smart contracts. There is also the ongoing decentralization through the Shelley protocol. Cardano is completely open-source like its predecessor, Bitcoin. Think of ADA as an improvement of Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of a cryptocurrency and decentralization. More information about the project’s progress can be found on its roadmap page.

The third reason to go hard on Cardano (ADA) is the simple fact that has been highlighted in the title of this piece. The institutional investors are yet to get into crypto 100%. The ones that are already in the industry, are probably more focused on the big five coins of BTC, ETH, LTC, ETC, and BCH. Notice we have not mentioned XRP because it has a lot of pending cases and additional SEC scrutiny. As a matter of fact, ADA could replace XRP as the next digital asset in that list to make it the sixth crypto in the big 6 coins everyone wants to own.

Summing it all up, we are at the cusp of something monumental in the crypto-markets. The last 6 months have thinned the herd in terms of who is still left owning cryptocurrencies. The ones who are left, know that the big money from Wallstreet is coming and it is coming in like a tsunami. Therefore, it is wise to stock up on coins with potential such as ADA.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
