Three reasons why this is the time for buying dip on Ripple (XRP)

Published

Ripple XRP

Ripple and XRP are not your run-of-the-mill blockchain project. It’s a project that doesn’t aim to be just a cryptocurrency (the way, say, Bitcoin does). It has the particular purpose of being used to solve one single problem better than anybody else in the world: to make international payments and remittances safe, quick and cheap.

That’s a very ambitious goal and can naturally be achieved only in the long run but Ripple Labs has applied itself wholeheartedly to it, and it’s made fantastic amounts of progress.

Because partnerships build confidence and long-term viability

Ripple’s platforms (xRapid and xCurrent) are already being used by some of the world’s most important banks and financial institutions. They are finding that costs go down while reliability and speed increase in dramatic ways. Institutions save money, and their clients are happier.

In other words, Ripple is managing to persuade many of the industry’s leading players in that they have a product which is really useful and worth adopting. Just think about who is already using Ripple: The Bank of England, The Royal Bank of Scotland, MoneyGram, Santander, BBVA, American Express, SBI Holdings. It reads like the who’s who list in global finances.

These partnerships will inspire confidence in smart investors who understand the value of going for the long term. Bearish and bullish periods come and go, but a product that has a real competitive advantage by solving a significant problem better than the current options, or than the competition, will always do great.

The crypto market hasn’t realized the massive potential behind Ripple and XRP yet, so it remains unvalued. That’s one reason to buy now.

Because it might get listed by CoinBase soon

Yes, XRP experienced an epic drop earlier this year (from USD 3.80 in January to USD 0.44 at the time I write this) for sure. But it remains the third cryptocurrency in the world by market capitalization and one of the most popular trading coins in the world.

Why would Coinbase keep missing out on transaction fees and let XRP to their competitors? Let’s remember that Coinbase is about to go public so they need to do anything and everything that could enhance value for shareholders. There’s been a rumor going around that, in that spirit, the company is saving the XRP listing announcement for a moment in which it could have the maximal impact to its IPO.

Call it a rumor, a wish, speculation. The fact remains that Coinbase cannot continue to be without the world’s third most popular digital asset and stay relevant at the same time. It’s been expected for too long already (so much that it’s become a “cry wolf” thing and investors are sick and tired of hearing that rumor already) but it’s also inevitable.

Coinbase will include XRP sooner or later, and that will enhance both companies positions in their respective markets.

Because it will appreciate when the market goes bullish

When 2018 arrived, last January, the bullish run in the crypto market was just spectacular. Bitcoin went all the way up to USD 8800, and every single coin experienced a rise in price. XRP reached USD 3.80. Then, the rest of the year has happened which has been just a series of bearish trends, with periodic adjustments along the way. So while it would be fair to point out that XRP has gone down, the fact remains that this hasn’t been XRP’s problem but the general trend for each and every digital asset.

But are bearish runs such bad news? It’s buying low and selling high how you make a profit, so the current low is also the opportunity to buy undervalued cryptocurrencies ‘en masse’ and then see how they grow when the next, utterly unavoidable, bullish run comes. When it arrives, the best bets will be among the current top ten coins, and Ripple (XRP) is third.

The market is healing from a collapse, and so is XRP. But it will recover soon, and you could be there to make a killing.

XNO Token of Xeno NFT Hub listed on Bithumb Korea Exchange

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.”
