SHIB, RGT and AMPL shake off Fed taper comments by notching double-digit gains

Comments from the Federal Reserve might have sent BTC price tumbling, but SHIB, RGT and AMPL ignored the taper talk by posting double-digit gains.

Volatility reared its ugly head for a second day after growing fear of the new Omicron COVID-19 variant and the Federal Reserve's admission that an earlier-than-expected adjustment to its bond-buying program continues to impact global stock markets. The impact of these concerns appears to have impacted Bitcoin price and this morning, the digital asset retreated from its intraday high at $59,175, falling to as low as $55,875.

It’s not all bad news for crypto holders, however, as several altcoins have racked up notable gains over the past 24 hours.

As seen in the chart above, the VORTECS™ Score for RGT spiked into the green zone and reached a high of 77 on Nov. 25, around 78 hours before the price increased 51.5% over the next two days.

The rally in RGT comes as the protocol surpassed $1.5 billion in total value locked and launched a new shield mining campaign with Nexus Mutual (NXM) where NXM stakers can earn RGT for their staking activities.

Ampleforth adds a wrapper

Ampleforth is a rebase project hosted on the Ethereum network that uses an algorithmically adjusted circulating supply that aims to be the base money for a decentralized economy that can remain decoupled from the price action of other cryptocurrencies.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after hitting a low of $0.75 on Nov. 22, the price of AMPL has rallied 87.5% to a daily high at $1.41 on Nov. 30.

The rally appears to be connected to the release of wAMPL, a wrapped version of AMPL that does not rebase and can be more easily used throughout the DeFi ecosystem.

The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $2.613 trillion and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 41.1%.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018.

Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...

INX submits bid for Voyager Digital's assets

FTX US won a $1.4-billion bid to purchase Voyager’s assets in September, but with the firm filing for bankruptcy, the funds were once again up for grabs. Trading platform INX has submitted a bid for an undisclosed amount to purchase the assets of crypto brokerage firm Voyager Digital. In a Nov. 30 announcement, INX said it had sent a non-binding letter of intent for Voyager’s assets following the platform filing for bankruptcy in July. According to INX CEO Shy Datika, the bid was aimed at providing “credibility, technology, and unique regulatory positioning” for Voyager users seeking stability in a volatile market. Voyager’s original bankruptcy filing from the Southern District Court of New York suggested the firm could owe between $1 billion to $10 billion to more than 100,000 creditors amid a bear market and exposure to Three Arrows Capital. In September, FTX US won a $1.4-billion bid to purchase Voyager’s assets, but with FTX Group itself filing for bankruptcy in November, th...
