Institutional investment presumption to send ETH, XRP, and Bitcoin high
These days it points out that institutional investors slowly are gaining interest in the cryptocurrency domain. Practically, a real-world working model will attract institutional investors automatically from all over the globe. They will look for an opportunity to invest in the cryptocurrency industry if not necessarily in coins such as Bitcoin, Ripple’s XRP or Ethereum, and it seems like that moment is already at hand.
State of the Market
The past 24 hours have been stable for the crypto market as the entire market has seen steadiness in their trade. For that reason, the general market value has been lifted to $210.6 billion.
The state of the market has seen the price of Bitcoin go up by 0.7% to the $6,537 lifting its market cap to $113.2 billion. Bitcoin cash has stayed stable too at $466 representing a slight drop of 0.56% and the market cap being $7.7 billion.
Also, Ethereum price dropped 0.59% to $205.87 giving it a market cap of $21.1 billion, and as for Ripple (XRP), a similar trend was experienced whereby it dropped by 0.15% to stand just above 46 U.S cents making its market cap to stand at $18.5 billion.
The stability in the cryptocurrencies is a positive gain as that increases hopes and chances for the institutional investments.

But what is the reason behind the cryptocurrency markets current stability?
Coincidences do occur, but we can’t say it is a coincidence that Bitcoin, as well as the other coins, saw a strong start this week after the leading financial services corporation Fidelity Investment announced Fidelity Digital Asset Services LLC.
The business is meant to handle cryptocurrency custody as well as trade execution for the institutional investors. Handling of cryptocurrency custody is apparently what institutional investors would want to hear as their big concern is wallet hacking. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a major positive stride that the investors will take.
The rise in some cryptos and stability in most have to be related, therefore, to this announcement as Fidelity’s custody service will provide safety to the cryptocurrency enthusiasts who have been waiting on the corner this far.
According to CNBC, the said service includes vaulted cold storage that will involve taking cryptocurrency offline and multilevel physical as well as cyber controls and other security protocols.

In the end, price manipulations can still be a concern for many prospective institutional crypto investors, and if not tackled the hopes of institutional investments pouring in may not remain for long, and the market could soon give the gains back to its US$200 billion level support again. But for now, everything looks positive for the cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), and of course Bitcoin steadily raising their hopes for institutional investments.

When one thinks about the social media landscape, the companies that first come to mind are most likely Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Snapchat. These platforms are a great way to stay connected with friends, families, and colleagues, especially when geographic distance is a factor. But, in addition to just chatting about life in general and sharing pictures, social media can be used to bridge the information gap that exists within the investment community.
Over the last decade, many trading offices have been established in large cities all over the world which allow solo traders and investors to pay a monthly fee in exchange for a workspace. The real benefit to trading in these offices is to participate in the free flow of trading ideas and information. Proprietary trading is one of the most challenging careers to be successful at and the exchange of ideas is almost required in order to succeed. Traders at hedge funds and investment banks work in teams so why shouldn’t remote traders?
While these trading offices are a great way to help bridge the information gap, Aluna.Social may provide an even better way, especially as it relates to cryptocurrency trading.

Aluna.Social, founded by Alvin Lee and Henrique Matias, is a multi-exchange social trading terminal for crypto traders and investors. The goal of the platform is to help newcomers shorten their learning curve,…
As the crypto markets move closer to mass adoption, one of the keys for future success will revolve around attracting as many market participants as possible. While many crypto users are extremely tech oriented, a lot of those on the sidelines are not. The cause of waiting on the sidelines could be due to a variety of reasons such as fear of the unknown, lack of knowledge, age, or a combination of all of the above. In order to entice new users to join the crypto revolution, crypto ATMs are rising up across the country. Of those, the largest and most influential crypto ATM company by a significant margin is CoinFlip.
In early October, CoinFlip announced on its Twitter that it had officially partnered with BRD Wallet to re-introduce their crypto ATM map. Now, BRD wallet users will be able to locate their nearest CoinFlip ATM and receive a 10% discount for both buys and sells. BRD brand awareness is growing quickly within the crypto community thanks to its innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. The team strongly believes in the value of financial freedom and independence, and want to empower people across the world by leveraging the possibilities that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies provide.

Gambling has always been an integral part of human nature. Nothing is sweeter than the money you win, and that’s why wagering games have always captivated people throughout history. Last couple of decades saw the gamblers switch increasingly towards virtual gaming, instead of physically being inside a casino. The popularization of online casinos led to the integration of Bitcoin Gambling into the systems and today a very large share of the casino industry is based on the virtual currency.
Reasons behind the transition
The tendency to switch from classic casino environment was dictated by the fact of mobility and accessibility. But the new age has brought us cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that revolutionized the gambling business.
