Loopring (LRC) Listed on Bithumb, Up 5% In Bear Market

Published

Loopring

The crypto markets are generally in the red, but Loopring (LRC) has overcome the generally downward direction to be trading at $0.70 and up 4.98% in 24 hours. The reason for this good performance amidst the general decline in the crypto markets is the announcement that LRC is now available for trading on the popular South Korean exchange, Bithumb.

The announcement was made by the founder of the Loopring Foundation, Daniel Wong.

In the medium post, Mr. Wong had this to say about the listing:

“Loopring’s protocol token on Ethereum, LRC, was just listed by Bithumb, the 6th largest crypto-exchange world-wide. Thank you, Bithumb.”

Bithumb is one of South Korea’s most popular exchange and this is evident it its daily trade volume. At the end of 2017, the site had a daily turnover of approximately $1.3 Billion. That level has since declined in tune with the general decline in the markets, and currently has a daily trade volume of $789.5 Million at the moment of writing this. Bithumb is currently ranked 6th on coinmarketcap.com and according to exchanges that charge trading fees.

The other South Korean exchange that is currently doing more in terms of daily trade volume, is Upbit which is ranked fifth on coinmarketcap.com. The exchange has a daily trade volume of $982 Million.

The listing of LRC on the exchange adds to the much-needed liquidity of the token for trade in the crypto-markets. LRC is now available in 32 exchanges. This is impressive on an individual token level but considerably lower when compared to The King of Crypto, Bitcoin, that is available in 400 exchanges.

Loopring is a token, a protocol as well as a decentralized automated execution system that trades across the crypto-token exchanges, shielding users from counter-party risk and reducing the cost of trading. It does this by pooling the liquidity of cryptocurrencies possessed by users on the platform and breaking orders into smaller pieces that are placed across all market venues simultaneously. It identifies the best exchanges and times to trade hence optimizing trading results.

The protocol is able to do this since it is blockchain agnostic. This means that it can integrate with any other blockchain protocol in the crypto-verse. It is based on the Ethereum ERC20 protocol, making it easier for tokens created on the same ERC20, to be easily traded using Loopring.

The project and token are relatively new in the Crypto-verse. Evidence of this can be seen on the token’s price charts that only date back to August last year. An updated whitepaper is now available on the Loopring website.

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…

“NFTs are extremely flexible in their usage, from digital event tickets to artwork, and while NFTs have a very wide spectrum of uses and categories XENO will initially focus its partnership efforts and its own item curation on three primary areas: gaming, sports & entertainment, and collectibles.”, said XENO NFT Hub president Anthony Di Franco.

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.”

Mr. Yamagata has…
