Cardano [ADA] surges by 4% following Coinbase addition speculation and integration to Ledger walletmaart 20, 2019AMBcryptoCardano looks optimistic after the announcement of its 1.5 version release on the mainnet. The Cardano 1.5 update marks the many improvisations, like Ouroboros BFT consensus protocol, from its precursor Ouroboros Classic. The founder of Cardano and CEO at Input Output HK [IOHK] tweeted, Source: Twitter A blog post by the Cardano community, which explained the transition of the consensus protocol to BFT from Classic, stated, “This update is technically a hard fork but will take place in a smooth and automatic way because this is a planned protocol upgrade whereby all parties of the current federated system have agreed to the change.” The upgrade further aims to render a large volume of transactions and wallet addresses in addition to insufficient space detection feature and a new block consolidation status screen. The latest release and following upgrades could potentially be a reason for Cardano exhibiting a surge of over 4% in the current bear market. The upward volume movement can also be attributed to the coin’s speculation of being listed on the trading platform Coinbase. The trading platform announced the exploration of Cardano, Basic Attention Token [BAT], Stellar Lumens [XLM], Zcash [ZEC] and 0x [ZRX], out of which most of the coins have already been added. Another reason that led to the pump can also be speculated to be the integration of Ledger Hardware Wallet to the Cardano network. The announcement was made by Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson. Talking about the integration, Hoskinson said, “This means users will be able to hold their ADA offline, through the convenient and highly secure means of cold storage.” Source: TradingView At press time, the eleventh largest crypto asset ADA held a market cap of $1.37 billion, and was valued at $0.052. The 24-hour trading volume of the digital coin was $50.03 million, following a surge of 4.87%. Additionally, Cardano [ADA] registered a significant growth of 12.28% during the past seven days, which is more than the top coins, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, during the same time frame.

How Belarus Focused on Bitcoin and Crypto to Grow its Tech Industrymaart 20, 2019News BTCThe Belarus government used the growing popularity of bitcoin as a tool to boost its technology sector, reported ZDNet. The media agency collected quotes from people who were working closely with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in drafting tech-friendly laws. One of them was a lawyer named Dennis Aleinikov, who helped the government draft a bill that would make foreign companies to receive tax benefits in Belarus. He told ZDNet that President Lukashenko wanted to boost Belarus as a global technology hub, but their oil and the gas-dependent economy didn’t have a budget to run a viral campaign. So, they came up with the plan. Enter Bitcoin Boom The entrepreneurs close to President Lukashenko suggested using bitcoin and bitcoin’s popularity to promote Belarus’ tech sector. In December 2017, at the height of the crypto boom, President Lukashenko signed a decree that gave foreign tech companies unlimited access to Belarus tax-free climate. The order enforced 36 types of tax-exempt activities for tech companies. “Until 2049, there’s zero percent VAT, zero percent corporate profit tax, customs duty, offshore duty, income tax for foreign entities, tax on sales of shares of high-tech park residents, and zero tax on revenues of foreign companies,” Dmitry Titov, the press secretary of the Belarusian high-tech park told ZDNet. Helped by the decree, the ICO industry also gained legal status in the region.. They could now issue tokens, facilitate bitcoin and crypto trading, and run mining enterprises under a tax-free structure which would expire in 2023. “Cutting-edge technology [is a] very nice marketing instrument for a little country,” explained Aleinikov. “We decided that it would be good for Belarus to be the first country to make smart contracts legal.” Shady Companies Approved via Lax Regulations? Global regulators had – and continue to have – severe concerns about how the ICO industry operates. At ideation stages, crypto startups would go on and raise millions of dollars via tokenized public funding. But, in the end, a majority of them failed to turn up with a working project. As a result, over 85-percent of ICO projects failed, and their investors underwent massive losses, reported Bloomberg. These losses further pushed the cryptocurrency industry in one of its most extended bearish phases. So, there is a possibility that Belarus, despite its noble intentions, unknowingly allowed shady companies to operate smoothly. A recent example somewhat points in the same direction. Relex Development, a cryptocurrency-enabled real estate startup, recently received an operational license from the Belarus authorities. At the same time, the firm was facing allegations of insider trading by its community. A Redditor alleged: “Their CMO was caught in manipulating the community which allowed him to accumulate ~4% of the total supply of RLX. When confronted, the team deflected and pushed this situation off to the side. Months went by and as more investigating was done, more light was brought to the table by seeing the damage the CMO did by using alt accounts on Telegram. The issue was brought up again and at the beginning of December, the CMO “stepped down.” More info available on this and this link. Boom is Boom A few bad examples do not necessarily make Belarus a hotbed for poor projects. Just recently, Belarus approved Currency.com, a tokenized securities exchange which raised $8 million investment from Larnabel Ventures and VP Capital. The trading platform allows crypto investors to but tokens that are linked with stocks on Nasdaq exchange. At the same time, there are blockchain solutions firm like Intellectsoft and Smartym Pro working as third-party developers for innumerable crypto projects around the globe. Independent and popular blockchain projects like OpenLedger DEX, CopPay, DEIP and Scorum also hail from Belarus’s hi-tech park. With its friendly regulations, the park has also attracted companies sectors other than crypto. They include firms from machine learning, telecommunications, space, robotics, and information security. Over 260 companies entered Belarus in 2018, leading to an increase in software exports, bring the sector $1.4 billion in FY2018. That earnings were 38-percent more than the previous year.
