‘DeFo’ staking enabled for Waves' Neutrino stablecoins

Crypto traders can earn passive income through Neutrino stablecoin staking.

U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Waves.Exchange, which supports the price-stable multi-asset Neutrino protocol, is introducing a way for crypto traders to earn passive income through stablecoin staking.

According to a Sept. 29 announcement from Waves, the exchange has expanded its tokenized assets ecosystem to include seven different Neutrino stablecoins — synthetic versions of national currencies — through a decentralized foreign exchange market, or 'DeFo'.

Holders of the Neutrino US dollar (USDN), euro (EURN), yen (JPYN), yuan (CNYN), ruble (RUBN), Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAHN) and Nigerian Naira (NGNN) can reportedly get up to 15% annual percentage yields (APY) through staking. Users can also receive up to 20% by providing liquidity to the stablecoin pools. According to Waves, there will be no penalties for withdrawals.

Unlike centralized fiat-collateralized stablecoins, where holders have to trust the issuer, Neutrino stablecoins are algorithmic, issued by a smart contract.

Waves is far from the only platform offering staking rewards this year. Coinbase launched a similar system in July for crypto traders to gain 2% APY on their Dai (DAI) holdings on top of its existing 0.15% for USD Coin (USDC) holders. In September, Binance announced its Launchpool platform would allow users to earn token rewards in return for staking Binance Coin (BNB) and Binance USD (BUSD) as well as a variety of other coins.

Cointelegraph reported in August that Waves had made its Neutrino dollar available for users to stake on the Ethereum blockchain. The exchange is also reportedly planning to add more DeFo trading pairs, which Neutrino’s governance token (NSBT) holders will vote on.

Waves intends to launch Gravity Hub in October. It's a blockchain-agnostic protocol addressing the interoperability issue between blockchains including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cosmos (ATOM), Solana (SOL), and Ethereum Classic (ETC). The platform will allow dApps to send a request to other dApps on a different blockchain, and to transfer tokens using token ports.

I Stand By My $100,000 Bitcoin Price Target, Anthony Scaramucci

Anthony Scaramucci has again reiterated his stand on why he thinks bitcoin will still hit the $100,000 price target he had earlier set. Scaramucci had put forth this forecast when he was on Yahoo! Finance earlier in the year. The founder explained that bitcoin could easily be trading at $100,000 in 12 months. Anthony Scaramucci who founded Skybridge Capital in 2005 has not always been bullish on bitcoin. But has slowly come around over the years and has now gotten into bitcoin. The CEO believes that more and more funds will get into bitcoin as time passes. His message to other money managers had been that he believed the performance of their funds will eventually be benched off of bitcoin.

Whale clusters suggest that this key Bitcoin level can trigger an explosive rally

Bitcoin whale clusters show $57,046 and $60,045 are the crucial support and resistance levels in the short term. The price of Bitcoin ( BTC ) is attempting to break the $60,000 resistance level after more than a week of ranging. Whale clusters show that $57,046 and $60,045 are the crucial support and resistance areas in the short term.  In other words, the probability of a strong breakout in the foreseeable future would increase substantially if Bitcoin stays above $57,046 and continues to test $60,000 resistance. Why whale clusters are important for Bitcoin Whale clusters form when high-net-worth investors buy or sell Bitcoin at a certain price and do not move their holdings thereafter. As such, a whale cluster support typically serves as a strong macro support area for Bitcoin because whales tend to buy more when BTC falls to a level where they initially bought BTC. On the flip side, a whale cluster resistance area would likely hold up as a sell area because whales are mo...
