Cross-chain bridge Synapse has seen the value of its native token SYN plummet after a liquidity provider (LP) dumped all their tokens. According to data from CoinGecko, the token’s price declined by nearly 25% a few hours after the sell-off. On Tuesday, 5th of August, Synapse Labs announced – via a post on X (formerly Twitter) – that one of the liquidity providers sold their SYN tokens and removed liquidity from the Synapse protocol. Lookonchain reported a whale dumping 9 million SYN tokens an hour after this disclosure. According to the on-chain analytics platform, the whale sold the tokens for roughly 2.35 million USDC in two separate transactions at $0.26. Additionally, Lookonchain revealed that the whale received these offloaded funds from the “Synapse: Executor 2” wallet, establishing a link with Synapse Labs’ recent announcement. Meanwhile, Colin Wu’s report corroborated this on-chain discovery while adding that $37.537 million in stablecoin liquidity was removed from the Synapse protocol. Crypto Community Points Finger At Nima Capital Various reports have emerged in the last few hours, speculating on the identity of the liquidity provider responsible for the 9 million token sell-off and liquidity removal. Crypto researcher Wazz claims that Nima Capital is the LP behind these actions and has broken its liquidity-provisioning agreement eight months early. In March, Nima Capital, a crypto venture capital firm, was designated Synapse’s first liquidity provider. According to the proposal, the firm committed to providing $40 million in actively managed stablecoin liquidity over twelve months while receiving 33% of bridge and swap fees. Nima Capital appears to have limited its digital presence. As of this writing, the company’s website is offline and inaccessible to the public. Meanwhile, access to the firm’s X account has been restricted and is only available to confirmed followers. It is worth noting that Synapse Labs didn’t reveal the identity of the liquidity provider in its announcement, and the team has yet to provide any further updates on the situation. The liquidity removal and token sell-off have also impacted Synapse’s total value locked (TVL). According to DefiLlama data, the cross-chain protocol’s TVL has dipped by nearly 20% in the past day. SYN Succumbs To Selling Pressure, Price Dips By 25% As noted earlier, the value of SYN suffered an almost 25% decline after the liquidity provider dumped its holdings. The token’s price crashed from $0.401 to $0.309 in hours. SYN has since been showing glimpses of recovery, as it now trades above $0.35. According to CoinGecko data, the token is valued at 0.356092, with a 0.5% price increase in the past hour. A broader look at its price performance shows that the SYN token has struggled in the last few months. After notching a yearly high of $1.59 in late February, the cryptocurrency has reversed all its gains, trading 77% beneath the 2023 peak.

Shiba Inu devs focus on Shibarium, planning to reduce token supply via the burn portal and BONE contract renouncement. The layer-2 hits 1 million wallets, plans for third-party token bridge partnerships for interoperability. Devs prioritize user growth, utility, and infrastructure in Shibarium, emphasizing real-world value and community empowerment. The developers behind popular meme coin Shiba Inu have highlighted upcoming areas of focus as adoption of their Shibarium layer-2 blockchain continues to rise swiftly. According to screenshots shared by team member Lucie, lead developer Shytoshi Kusama stated that the burn portal and renouncing the BONE contract are new priorities. Kusama previously noted that the burn portal was in development. While underscoring the importance of driving SHIB adoption overall, Kusama said burns are not the sole solution. The long-awaited burn portal will help reduce token supply as the community desires. Shibarium surpasses several milestones Preparations are also underway to renounce the BONE contract this week, per developer updates. Additionally, Kusama mentioned a Shibarium Wiki is in progress. Shibarium has already exceeded 1 million wallets and total transactions since its public re-launch on August 28th. Collaborations with third-party token bridges are also planned to boost interoperability. The latest priorities indicate the team’s focus on attracting users, increasing utility, and building out essential infrastructure in Shibarium’s early days. While speculative hype initiated SHIB’s meteoric rise, developing lasting real-world value now takes center stage. The burn portal and BONE renouncing help advance decentralization and empower the community. The team’s emphasis on driving adoption shows their commitment to boosting daily active usage of Shibarium. Alongside hyped features like burning, fundamentals remain vital for ecosystem growth.

On-chain data shows that 44.2% of all Ethereum investors are now carrying their coins at a loss, a sign that the bottom may be close for the asset. Ethereum Percentage Of Holders In Loss Has Surged Recently According to data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock, the percentage of ETH investors in loss has grown sharply since early July. The relevant indicator here is the firm’s “Historical In/Out of the Money,” which tells us about the percentage of Ethereum investors in profits and losses and those that are just breaking even. The metric determines whether an investor is in profit or loss by looking at their address history to check for the average price at which they acquired their coins. Naturally, if the asset’s current spot price is less than a holder’s cost basis, then that particular holder is carrying their coins at a net profit. Similarly, the cost basis being equal to and less than the spot price would imply that the investor is breaking even on their investment and holding at a loss, respectively. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Historical In/Out of the Money indicator for Ethereum over the past few years: IntoTheBlock has only listed the data for the Ethereum investors in losses, as this is the number of interest in the current discussion. The combined percentage of the investors breaking even and carrying profits can also be deduced from this value, as the total percentage must add up to 100%. In early July, Ethereum holders underwater were at about 27%. It’s visible in the graph, however, that the indicator has observed a notable uplift since then, as the price of the cryptocurrency has registered a drawdown. Today, the indicator’s value is at 44.2%, meaning that almost half of the Ethereum user base is holding their coins at losses. Generally, the more the investors get into profits, the more likely they become to sell to harvest those gains. Due to this reason, corrections in the asset become more probable to form whenever an extreme majority of the market is enjoying profits. A large percentage of the holders being in losses instead, however, can have the opposite effect on the price since they can lead towards bottoms as profit sellers become exhausted. Related Reading: This Could Be The Metric To Watch For A Bitcoin Bounce: Santiment Since the start of the bear market last year, the highest the metric’s value has gone is 50%, implying that exactly half of the investors had been in losses back then. This value isn’t too far off from the current one, suggesting that Ethereum may be close to forming a bottom. If a similar loss percentage is hit with the bottom this time, ETH would first suffer from some more downtrend so that enough investors drop underwater. ETH Price Ethereum has continued to move flat recently; as of this writing, it trades at about $1,600.

The XRP price has been showing promises of a price spike since Ripple’s victory against the US SEC. Many community members are currently keeping a close eye on the cryptocurrency, and hoping for a significant price increase. One crypto analyst, in particular, has predicted a massive run for the altcoin that could see its price hit triple-digits. XRP Predicted To Reach $130 In Next Bull Run Following its partial victory against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July after Judge Analisa Torres ruled in favor of Ripple labs, XRP, the native token of Ripple, has fluctuated heavily despite the positive sentiment surrounding it. Nevertheless, an analyst sees a potential bull run for the altcoin. Crypto analyst and XRP influencer, XRP Captain, has predicted a significant price jump for the XRP token on an X (formerly Twitter) post. XRP Captain shared a chart with a symmetrical triangle pattern which he used to predict XRP’s $130 future price movement. Apparently, XRP has a history of symmetrical triangle patterns. In 2017, the cryptocurrency broke out of a similar symmetrical triangle pattern which pushed the token to new all-time highs. As for when this will happen, the analyst points toward the expected 2024 bull run. The analyst is not the only one who has predicted a bull run for the altcoins. Earlier in August, a pseudonymous analyst also predicted a massive rally for XRP that could see the token reaching its previous all-time high of $3. In this case, the analyst highlighted that the XRP/BTC pair had finally reclaimed the 20-day and 50-day moving averages, and the last time this had happened had also been back in 2017. This led to an over 500% increase in the price of the altcoin at the time. Crypto Community Uncertain About Analyst XRP Price Prediction Following XRP Captain’s prediction of XRP’s possible bull run, other crypto analysts have also shared their thoughts on the sheer incredulity of the prediction. Another crypto trader and chartist, JD was enthusiastic about the technical patterns XRP price charts were displaying. He explained that the symmetrical triangle was accurately represented. However, he could not see the price of XRP reaching three digits. “I just can’t see that 3 digit target. $20s are still in the cards though,” he stated. XRP price has also been notably down. However, XRP Whales are not deterred as these large investors are taking advantage of the market downturns and buying up hundreds of millions worth of tokens. XRP is currently looking toward a reversal with its price seeing meager gains of 0.02% in the last day. However, it is still struggling on the weekly chart with losses of 2.61%.

Visa is expanding its USDC settlement pilot to the high-speed Solana blockchain, citing enterprise-grade capabilities. The move adds merchants Worldpay and Nuvei to pilot USDC settlements for Visa payments over Solana. For Visa, the expansion marks a milestone in practically applying decentralized blockchains for payments. Visa is bringing its stablecoin settlement pilot to the Solana blockchain, enabling high-throughput transactions with negligible costs for issuers and merchants using USDC. The move comes after an extensive evaluation of Solana’s speed, costs, and decentralization. Visa cited demand from clients to leverage newer, high-performance chains for moving USDC settlements. Two additional merchants, Worldpay and Nuvei, will join the pilot, settling Visa payments in USDC over Solana. This real-world adoption validates stablecoins’ potential role within mainstream payments, integrated with existing systems. Visa Taps Solana for its Features Visa is aiming to provide enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure and sees Solana as ideal for this goal. Solana settles transactions in 400 milliseconds, averaging 400 TPS and surging to 2,000 TPS during peak times. These capabilities surpass older chains like Ethereum in meeting Visa’s speed and cost requirements at scale. The pilot will test if SOL network can deliver on its promises under live payment volume. For Visa, expanding the USDC settlement pilot marks a major milestone in embracing decentralized blockchains. The company is evolving from cautious experimentation to practical implementation. While Solana suffered setbacks recently around scalability and outages, Visa’s vote of confidence backs its potential as an enterprise-grade solution once refinements are made. Critically, Visa is not just dabbling with crypto; it is leveraging blockchain technologies to improve real-world payments and settlement processes. This integration speaks volumes about progress in making decentralized finance usable for traditional finance. Stablecoin settlement lifts barriers to cross-border transactions. Yet questions persist about compliance and regulation. Visa is pushing ahead prudently, assessing each blockchain on its technical merits case-by-case. By adding the SOL network and expanding the pilot’s scope, Visa underscores that crypto solutions are crossing into the mainstream and not residing on the fringe. Expect more milestones ahead as Web3 fintech matures.

Prominent crypto research firm Kaiko reports that the XRP token recorded impressive trade volume strides across August 2023. This development comes amidst the token poor price performance in the said month. XRP Dominates Altcoin Market In Trade Volume Amidst Price Downtrend According to the latest Data Debrief by Kaiko on September 4, the market research firm notes that XRP recorded an average daily trade volume of $462.8 million in August, representing the highest value of that metric in the altcoin market. Solana (SOL) followed in second place, with a trade volume of $128.4 million. Other altcoins that also experienced a significant average daily trade volume in August included Binance Coin (BNB), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Litecoin (LTC), among others. As earlier stated, XRP’s surge in trading volume was accompanied by underwhelming market performance. Kaiko notes that the altcoin experienced a 25% price decline in August. This negative price performance was in much contrast to July, during which XRP had recorded lofty gains following Ripple’s partial victory over the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Why Is The XRP Price Struggling? To explain the contrast between XRP’s negative price performance and its surging trade volume, Kaiko has provided some interesting, in-depth analysis. According to the research firm, the court ruling in July led to a large demand for XRP by US traders, as was seen in the token’s price movement. Kaiko noted that the XRP average trade size on Coinbase, the largest US crypto exchange, experienced a significant boost, surpassing all top ten altcoins. However, this massive XRP demand was only present in the US. Kaiko states there was high selling pressure on foreign exchanges, indicating that most investors sold off their tokens to capitalize on XRP’s gains from its court victory. In particular, Kaiko reported that the South Korean exchanges Upbit and OKX recorded the strongest XRP selling pressure for August. Kaiko notes that the XRP’s trading volume is higher on foreign markets than on US exchanges. The research firm reported: Therefore, the high demand for XRP in the US was overwhelmed by higher selling pressure on the global market, which explains why the XRP market price took a nosedive in August. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $0.503, having gone up by 0.17% in the last day based on data from CoinMarketCap. However, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency is still in the red zone and is down by 2.28% and 19.70% on the weekly and monthly charts.

Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has had a few progress and setbacks in the past year. This has been reflected in digital asset investment products. However, new data shows that while outflows from digital investment products have dominated for another week, Bitcoin has shown some resilience to record a weekly inflow of $3.8 million. Bitcoin Trading Volume 90% Above The YTD Average In its latest report on digital asset investment products, Coinshares has shown Bitcoin investment products received net inflows despite the whole market seeing minor outflows. During the same time period, trading volumes spiked to more than 90% above the YTD average. Regulatory issues have bombarded BTC in the past week, and the asset has shown uncertainty about what’s next to come. In particular, August concluded with a Bitcoin setback as the SEC announced a decision to delay its ruling on some Bitcoin spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) applications. As a result, the price of BTC dropped from $28,000 to $25,400 in the space of 48 hours. But despite this decrease, digital asset investment products trading volume reached $2.8 billion. Outflows in digital asset funds have been consistent for the past seven weeks, totaling $342 million. Last week, chains like Polygon and Ethereum saw outflows of $8.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, contributing to a total net outflow of $11.2 million across all assets. On the other hand, Bitcoin registered net inflows of $3.8 million. Solana also registered net inflows of $0.7 million, bringing its inflow streak to nine consecutive weeks. However, total assets under management (AuM) have fallen 48% from this year’s peak. Is A Shift Toward Positive Sentiment Imminent? The uptick in activity and investment is a good sign for the market and hints at growing mainstream interest in Bitcoin. However, this could end up being short-lived. Considering BTC is just like any other asset, sentiment is mostly based on news surrounding the crypto industry. So a consecutive weekly inflow to Bitcoin digital asset funds would suggest a change in sentiment. The outlook for BTC and the broader crypto market for the rest of 2023 is still cautiously optimistic. Experts from JP Morgan have predicted that the SEC will be forced to greenlight several spot Bitcoin ETFs, and former US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Jay Clayton, has also called the approval inevitable. Nevertheless, the past 24 hours have seen the trading volume of Bitcoin increase by more than 11% to reach $10.87 billion. Of course, higher trade volumes don’t necessarily mean prices will skyrocket. But they show more people are buying and selling BTC, indicating stronger sentiment and momentum.

On-chain data suggests the $33,700 level could be a very significant level to break for Bitcoin if the historical pattern is anything to go by. Bitcoin 6 Months To 3 Years Old Investors Have $33,700 As Cost Basis In a new post on X, Ali, an analyst, has shared a chart that could shed light on the path that BTC may end up taking. The relevant indicator here is the “realized price,” which tells us about the price at which the average investor in the Bitcoin market acquired their coins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Exchanges See Three Straight Months Of Withdrawals For First Time Ever When the spot price of the asset exceeds this line, it means that the holders as a whole are currently carrying a net amount of profit on their coins. On the other hand, BTC being below the level suggests the average investor is underwater right now. In the context of the current discussion, the cost basis of the entire market isn’t of relevance, but of only a specific segment: the holders who acquired their coins at least six months and at most three years ago. Here is a chart that shows how the cost basis of these Bitcoin investors has changed over the years: The six months to three years old investors are actually a part of the larger “long-term holder” (LTH) group. And the LTHs are simply the investors who bought their coins at least six months ago. In the chart, the analyst has also attached the data for the cost basis of the entire LTH group and it’s visible that this metric currently has a value of about $20,300, meaning that the spot price is currently a decent distance above this line. The realized price of the six months to three years old holders, however, is above the spot price right now, as it’s valued at about $33,755. Naturally, this means that this segment of the LTHs is currently firmly in the red. From the graph, it’s also apparent that the Bitcoin price has not touched this level since early 2022, when the bear market first kicked off. If the cryptocurrency can surge towards the level and finally make a retest of it, then its fate might change for the better. This is because, as Ali has pointed out, BTC has observed a significant rally whenever the asset has crossed this mark and these HODLers have gotten back into profits. Three instances of this pattern are clearly visible in the chart. The 2017 bull run, the April 2019 rally, and the 2021 bull run all emerged from successful breaks of the cost basis of the six months to three years old LTHs. If this historical pattern holds any weight at all, then a Bitcoin break above the $33,700 level in the near future could become the starting point of the next major bull run. BTC Price At present, Bitcoin is quite a bit below the cost basis of these LTHs, as its price is trading just under the $25,800 level.

Solana is one of the fastest growing cryptocurrency platforms thanks to its high speed and low costs. Launched in 2020, its native SOL token has seen massive appreciation. Here we analyze Solana’s price outlook for the future using technical analysis to provide an evidence-based Solana price prediction guide. What is Solana (SOL)? Solana is a highly scalable decentralized blockchain created by Anatoly Yakovenko in 2017. It uses a unique proof-of-history consensus mechanism to achieve high transaction speeds and low fees while maintaining security. The native cryptocurrency of the Solana network is SOL. It is used to pay for executing transactions, interacting with smart contracts, and staking on the blockchain. Some key aspects of Solana include: Speed Solana can process over 50,000 transactions per second, significantly faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum. Low fees With high speed, Solana offers transaction costs as low as $0.00025 making it ideal for DeFi. Proof-of-History This novel consensus mechanism coordinates timeline between nodes without slowing things down. Programming Solana supports programming languages like Rust and C++ to develop dApps. Staking SOL holders can stake tokens to help validate transactions while earning staking rewards. Solana’s powerful performance makes it a leading choice for developing fast, scalable DeFi applications and services. Factors Influencing Solana Price Several core factors determine the price movement and growth potential of SOL: Cryptocurrency Market Conditions Like most altcoins, Solana’s price depends significantly on Bitcoin and overall crypto market trends. A rising market lifts SOL. Adoption by Developers As more projects build DEXs, NFT marketplaces, Web3 applications etc on Solana, demand for SOL increases. Competition From Rival Networks Alternative scalability solutions like Avalanche, Polkadot or Cardano could fragment developer interest and diminish Solana’s growth potential if they gain traction. Network Upgrades and Innovation Upgrades to further boost Solana’s speed and capabilities can augment developer demand, boosting SOL’s value. Staking Trends Higher staking activity reduces available SOL supply which may lead to appreciation in token price. Security and Reliability Network outages or vulnerabilities could damage confidence in Solana and depress SOL price. Smooth performance boosts its reputation. Major Historical Price Developments SOL’s price has seen huge growth since launching, but also periods of instability. Let’s look at key highlights: 2020 – Minimal Trading After Launch Solana launched the mainnet in March 2020 with SOL starting off around $0.50 initially with minimal exchange availability and trading. By December 2020, it reached $1.52 as trading volumes gradually picked up. 2021 – Massive Breakout The 2021 crypto bull run catapulted Solana into the limelight with SOL surging exponentially from $3 in January 2021 to a peak of $260 by November 2021 – an unbelievable 8700% return within 10 months! Driving this were: Explosive growth of DeFi and NFT activity on Solana, riding the hot trends. Attracting developers due to faster speeds and lower costs than Ethereum. Major protocol improvements and ecosystem funding. Listing on Coinbase and Binance centralized exchanges. This established Solana as a leading Ethereum competitor. But lack of maturity showed… 2022 – Crash and Outages In 2022, the crypto downturn brought SOL back down below $40 from its highs. More damaging were network outages in 2022 that dented confidence in Solana’s stability. The final days surrounding the FTX collapse, Solana also suffered, taking the cryptocurrency to a 2022 low of $8. While still early days for such a nascent project, Solana needs to improve reliability to gain institutional trust. But its developer momentum continues unabated, with over 4000 projects built on Solana so far. Recent SOL Price Analysis Solana has been recovering throughout 2023, but the US SEC hasn’t made it easy, attacking altcoins around every turn. Each time altcoins like SOL attempt to gain momentum, the SEC files another case against a crypto exchange. Past filings include naming Solana as a possible unregistered security. However, it continues to be the choice for big institutions such as VISA, which is launching a stable coin payment system on Solana. Short-Term Solana Price Prediction for 2023 The latest bullish news that VISA is using Solana for its stable coin payments could propel SOL higher and reach the target of this inverse head and shoulders pattern, with a target of $75 per token. Medium-Term Solana Price Prediction for 2024-2025 Solana very closely mimics the price action of 2016 through 2020 Ethereum. If another similar rally follows in Solana like it did in Ethereum, SOL could approach upwards of $1,000 per token. Long-Term Solana Price Prediction for 2030 In the longest term outlook, it becomes much more challenging to properly predict what SOL might do. It very much depends on adoption of the SOL token, the Solana blockchain, and crypto itself. If SOL can maintain its current mean trajectory, then it is possible Solana could be priced around $3,000 to $4,000 by the year 2030 or beyond. Conclusion: Solana Price Outlook Solana has demonstrated immense potential with its blazing fast speeds at low costs. But it still has much to prove regarding stability and institutional-grade security. If Solana can build on its developer momentum and rapidly evolving ecosystem while improving reliability, its long-term growth upside is immense. But execution risks remain for this ambitious project aiming to reshape decentralized finance. Solana Price Prediction FAQs Let’s look at some common questions crypto investors have about SOL price analysis: What was Solana’s lowest ever price? SOL sank to as low as $0.50 in the early days after its mainnet launch in 2020. Its 2022 low was around $8 amidst broader crypto market weakness. What was the highest price for Solana? Solana’s all-time high price stands at $260 reached in November 2021 during strong bullish momentum carrying crypto markets higher. Is $500 realistic for Solana? SOL reaching $500 is achievable this decade if Solana fulfills its technological promise and sees high adoption as the leading DeFi blockchain. Can Solana crash to zero? A complete collapse is unlikely given Solana’s strong fundamentals unless critical flaws emerge in its core protocol. But extended weakness could sink SOL below $10 until a recovery. Why is SOL price volatile? As a relatively new asset with limited liquidity, Solana experiences high volatility from speculative trading and sentiment shifts. As adoption increases, volatility should stabilize. When will Solana’s price stabilize? Solana price swings may start normalizing once it builds a large user base and matures technically. But as a crypto asset, some volatility will always remain.

Instead of purchasing and handling heavy mining equipment, individuals or entities can rent or outsource computing power from a cloud mining service provider. These providers have mining farms with powerful machines, and users can earn a share of the mined cryptocurrency based on the computational power they rent. Transformative Shift in Crypto Cloud Mining GlobaleCrypto distinguishes itself by offering a wide range of cloud mining plans suitable for both institutional users and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Their commitment to transparency, a proven track record, and diverse investment options make them a reliable choice for passive income seekers in the cryptocurrency sphere. They prioritize user understanding, with comprehensive information available on their official website. The firm provides a $7 registration bonus that can be used to purchase plans and is eligible for withdrawal once the order is completed. However, it’s important to note that the platform has a minimum withdrawal threshold of 50 USDT. Upon registration, participants can opt for a complimentary investment plan. They may then utilize the bonus, which provides a daily income of $7.21 and access to various investment plans. If the daily income exceeds 0.005 BTC, it is directly deposited into the customer’s collection account; otherwise, it goes into the platform account balance. GlobaleCrypto offers users the flexibility to choose mining plans and customize the daily mining potential ranging from $7 to $315. The platform is known for its mining plans featuring top-tier hardware, including the Bitcoin Antminer S19 PRO, Bitcoin Antminer S19J, and Bitcoin Avalon-1366. Notably, GlobaleCrypto has established partnerships with leading mining pools such as BTC.com, Poolin, ViaBTC, Antpool, and F2pool.

Following a Crypto.com issuer pilot, Visa expands stablecoin settlement capabilities with Circle’s USDC, adding pilot programs with merchant acquirers Worldpay and Nuvei, and utilizing the Solana blockchain. SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Visa (NYSE: V), a global leader in payments, announced its next step in modernizing cross-border money movement. Visa is expanding its stablecoin settlement capabilities to the high-performing Solana blockchain and is working with merchant acquirers Worldpay and Nuvei. Through live pilots with issuers and acquirers, Visa has already moved millions of USDC between its partners over the Solana and Ethereum blockchain networks to settle fiat-denominated payments authorized over VisaNet. When consumers use Visa cards to make a purchase at any of the millions of Visa-accepting merchant locations around the world, they can experience the convenience of nearly instant payment authorizations. But what they don’t see is that the funds used for their purchase need to move between their bank (the issuer) and the merchant’s bank (the acquirer). This is where Visa’s treasury and settlement systems enable the clearing, settlement and movement of billions in transactions a day, making sure the correct amount in the preferred currency is received from the issuer and sent to the acquirer. This process happens seamlessly between nearly 15K financial institutions and across more than 25 currencies globally. “By leveraging stablecoins like USDC and global blockchain networks like Solana and Ethereum, we’re helping to improve the speed of cross-border settlement and providing a modern option for our clients to easily send or receive funds from Visa’s treasury,” said Cuy Sheffield, Head of Crypto, Visa. “Visa is committed to being on the forefront of digital currency and blockchain innovation and leveraging these new technologies to help improve the way we move money.” Building on the Crypto.com Pilot In 2021, Visa began testing how USDC could be used inside its treasury operations which led to a pilot with Crypto.com, making Visa one of the first major payments networks to test stablecoin settlement on the issuance side. This work led to a successful pilot leveraging USDC and the Ethereum blockchain to receive payments from Crypto.com for cross-border volume on their live card program in Australia. Crypto.com now uses USDC to fulfill its settlement obligations on the Visa card in Australia and intends to roll out this capability in other markets. Before that pilot, settlement for cross-border purchases made on Crypto.com Visa cards required a days-long currency conversion process and costly international wire transfers. Now, Crypto.com can send USDC cross-border over the Ethereum blockchain directly to a Visa treasury managed Circle account which helps reduce the time and complexity of international wire transfers. “We are excited about the USDC use cases Visa and its partners are driving to create fundamental blockchain innovation,” said Jeremy Allaire, Co-founder and CEO, Circle. “Circle built USDC to provide a functional digital dollar that could move at the speed of the internet to facilitate secure, reliable payments. Expanding the pilot exemplifies how pairing USDC with Visa’s innovation opens up the future of payments, commerce and financial applications.” Moving from Issuers to Acquirers While Visa’s treasury operation continues to test receiving funds onchain from multiple issuer partners, with these new settlement options Visa can send funds onchain to acquirers like Worldpay and Nuvei to help speed up settlement times for their merchants. Worldpay and Nuvei are global acquirers serving merchants worldwide from a diverse range of sectors. This includes a growing number of merchants interacting with the blockchain and crypto economy including on-ramp providers, games, and NFT marketplaces who may prefer to receive stablecoins over traditional fiat currencies for the card payments they accept. Using Visa’s own Circle account, Visa can now manage settlement payouts in USDC to Worldpay and Nuvei who can then route these payments in USDC to their end merchants. Adding Support for the Solana Blockchain Network As Visa looked to expand this capability to additional clients, there has been significant demand to leverage newer, high performance blockchains that can send and receive stablecoins with higher speed and lower costs. For these reasons, Visa chose to add support for Solana as a high performance blockchain that its partners can choose to send or receive USDC settlement payments. This makes Visa one of the first major payments companies at scale to directly utilize Solana for live settlement payments between its clients. The Solana blockchain sees 400 millisecond block times, averages 400 transactions per second (TPS) and typically surges to more than 2K TPS1 across a variety of use cases during periods of peak demand. Forging New Partnerships With an eye towards the future in an increasingly digital financial landscape, Visa is forging ahead with new partnerships and embracing the innovative potential of digital currencies. Visa’s work with Worldpay and Nuvei represents a significant stride in this direction. “Visa’s USDC settlement capability enables Worldpay to bring more of our treasury operations in-house and allows us to offer merchants more choices for receiving funds,” said Jim Johnson, President of Worldpay Merchant Solutions, FIS. “Diversifying funding options and increasing flexibility is critical to serving the changing needs of global merchants in today’s rapidly evolving commerce landscape.” “Stablecoins like USDC are cutting edge payments technology that can enable online businesses around the world to accelerate their growth,” said Philip Fayer, Chair and CEO, Nuvei. “Optimizing cross-border transactions is only one use case where stablecoins can benefit businesses. As a leading global payments company, we are constantly focused on innovation, and we’re excited to work with Visa to bring these capabilities to our partners.” About Visa Visa (NYSE: V) is a world leader in digital payments, facilitating transactions between consumers, merchants, financial institutions and government entities across more than 200 countries and territories. Our mission is to connect the world through the most innovative, convenient, reliable and secure payments network, enabling individuals, businesses and economies to thrive. We believe that economies that include everyone everywhere, uplift everyone everywhere and see access as foundational to the future of money movement.

Litecoin (LTC) has found itself in a tight consolidation phase, firmly locked within the $60 to $70 range since mid-August. Despite several attempts to break above the $70 resistance level, bulls seem to be running low on aggressiveness. As of the latest data from CoinGecko, LTC is trading at $62.99, reflecting a 1.8% decline over the past 24 hours and a seven-day slump of 3.1%. In recent weeks, LTC bulls have diligently defended the August 2022 range-high of $63, preventing a drop below this crucial support level. However, their efforts to push the price beyond $70 have proved futile. Litecoin Bulls Defend Key Levels But Face Technical Challenges A closer look at the technical indicators reveals that the H12 bearish order book and the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) are posing significant challenges for the bulls. Analysts believe that Litecoin could continue its consolidation above the $63 range-high in the coming hours or days. Still, the prevailing bearish pressure could hinder any substantial upward movement in the near term. LTC’s Struggle Amid Growing On-Chain Activity Surprisingly, despite Litecoin’s price consolidation, its on-chain data has shown increased activity in its ecosystem. According to a separate report, over the past four months, the share of Litecoin in global cryptocurrency payments has surged by an impressive 21%. This suggests that despite the stagnant price, Litecoin remains a popular choice for transactions. Sell Limit Orders And Bearish Sentiments To complicate matters further for LTC, order flow tracking platform Mobchart cited in an analysis significant sell limit orders at $66 (3.11k LTC) and $70 (3.26k LTC) on Binance Exchange’s spot market. These levels are strategically positioned between the H4 50-EMA and the H12 bearish order book, effectively forming a formidable barrier for Litecoin’s price to overcome. This adds to the growing challenges faced by LTC bulls in their quest to push the price higher. Moreover, sentiment around Litecoin has been increasingly bearish in recent times, as indicated by a separate report revealing that LTC bears have strengthened by 19% in the past week. This surge in bearish sentiment has likely contributed to the current downward pressure on LTC’s price. Litecoin (LTC) remains trapped within the $60 to $70 range, with technical indicators and significant sell orders acting as obstacles to any substantial price movement. Despite on-chain activity showing promise, growing bearish sentiments continue to weigh on LTC’s price, making it a challenging period for Litecoin investors and enthusiasts.

(“AGREE”), plans to list for sale its four recently renovated Midwest hotels, the Hilton Garden Inn in Madison West, the Residence Inn in Madison West, the Courtyard in Madison West, and the Hilton Garden Inn in Rockford.
