Bitpanda, the Viennese fintech with 1 million users and more than 120 employees, have today launched the Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) for the Bitpanda Ecosystem Token. BEST is the coin of the Bitpanda ecosystem and offers its users a wide range of benefits. For example, users will get a reduction of 25% on Bitpanda trading fees and gain priority access to the upcoming Bitpanda Launchpad, which will be available later and will allow the launch of third-party IEOs. Prior to the start of the public sale, the company has successfully raised more than €10 million in its private sale (20% of the total amount for sale), which means that BEST is already the most successful central European IEO.

It will play a vital role in Bitpanda’s global expansion and in making our vision of democratising personal finance a reality”, says Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth.

Cryptocurrency prices remained in an upbeat tone on Thursday as the US dollar index continued its bearish move. Bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency in the world, rose to $23,165, the highest level in months. Similarly, Ethereum has risen by more than 4% in the past 24 hours while BNB Coin and XRP surged to $307 and $0.41, respectively.
US dollar index retreats
Cryptocurrencies have an inverse relationship with the US dollar index. For example, the DXY, which looks at the performance of the greenback vs other currencies, soared to a 20-year high of $115 in 2022. As that happened, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin plunged during the year.
The foundation of this relationship is the Federal Reserve. In most periods, the US dollar index tends to rise when the Fed is extremely hawkish and vice versa. And it was extremely hawkish in 2022 as it hiked interest rates by more than 400 basis points.
Therefore, while the Fed has remained hawkish recently, the US dollar has dropped because of what the data is saying. Data published recently showed that America’s inflation is easing. The closely watched consumer price index dropped to 6.5% in December while core inflation fell to 5.7%.
At the same time, other parts of the economy are showing that the American economy is indeed recoiling. Retail sales dropped sharply in December while many…

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…
