US Election and Dollar Downturn Will Fuel High-Octane Boost for Bitcoin: DeVere CEO

The CEO and founder of one of the biggest independent financial advisories in the world foresees economic conditions that he expects to serve as rocket fuel for Bitcoin (BTC).

Nigel Green of deVere Group names the key factors that may trigger the next Bitcoin bull run.

“We can expect the world’s largest cryptocurrency to be further fuelled for the rest of 2020 by the U.S. presidential election and the weakness of the U.S. dollar, which will serve as high-octane price drivers.

A U.S. presidential election always stirs uncertainty – but 2020 is seen by many as particularly important as not only will whoever wins be the CEO of the world’s largest economy, they will be in that role as the world economically readjusts following the global fallout of coronavirus.”

The deVere Group executive says the uncertainty will drive investors to seek refuge in store-of-value assets such as Bitcoin and gold. But, Green stresses that Bitcoin is playing in a different league.

“Bitcoin is currently realizing its reputation as a form of digital gold. Up to now, the precious metal has been perceived as the ultimate safe-haven asset, but Bitcoin – which shares its key characteristics of being a store of value and scarcity – could potentially in the future knock gold from its long-held top spot as the world becomes driven by the tech revolution.

Decentralized, non-sovereign, secure digital currencies, including Bitcoin, will become more attractive to investors as they will offer a hedge against turbulence in traditional markets.”

As for the US dollar, Green explains that the U.S. government’s monetary policy of printing trillions of dollars makes the crypto king an attractive investment asset.

“You can’t just print Bitcoin…

The greenback could be in for a short-term boost, but in the longer term, there are expectations it’s on a downward trajectory and that it could ultimately lose its global reserves status – and this environment will provide a powerful boost for the price of Bitcoin.”

Green highlights that this year could be a turning point for the largest cryptocurrency.

“History will show that 2020 was a breakout year for Bitcoin.”

Defi Platform Uniswap Outpaces Coinbase Pro in Global Trade Volume

Defi Platform Uniswap Outpaces Coinbase Pro in Global Trade Volume

The decentralized exchange (dex) Uniswap has seen a massive amount of trade volume during the last seven days. Following Uniswap’s rapid increase in global trade volumes, the platform’s founder Hayden Adams celebrated the dex outpacing the centralized exchange Coinbase’s volumes this past weekend.

News.Bitcoin.com recently reported on the decentralized finance (defi) economy’s total value locked (TVL) assets nearing $8 billion in value. While a mad rush toward defi coins and applications has been taking place during the last few months, dex trade volumes have been soaring.

Data from Dune Analytics shows that close to $11 billion has been swapped on dex platforms like Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, and 0x. But Uniswap is commanding most of the trade volume and on Monday the exchange captures 62.8% of all dex swaps.

Defi Platform Uniswap Outpaces Coinbase Pro in Global Trade Volume

This past weekend Hayden Adams, the creator of Uniswap, tweeted about the massive trade volumes that have been settled on the platform in recent days. “Wow, Uniswap Protocol 24-hour trading volume is higher than Coinbase for the first time ever,” Adams said. “Hard to express with how crazy this is,” the Uniswap founder added.

Defi proponents congratulated Adams and said: “Huge congrats to Uniswap team – When NYSE flippening?”

On Monday, August 31, Uniswap is still capturing significant trade volumes with $537 million swapped during the last 24 hours. Uniswap captured over $2 billion in global trade volume during the last seven days.

The number of Uniswap traders (unique addresses that traded, maker and taker) on Monday is roughly 78,027. The two dex applications that trail behind Uniswap include Curve and Balancer respectively.

Curve captured 16.6% of Monday’s dex trade volume with $71 million in global swaps. Balancer has 8.71% of today’s global dex trade volume and has seen $66 million in trades. Most of the other dex platforms behind Uniswap, Curve, and Balancer only represent 1-3.38% of the dex swaps on August 31.

These smaller dex platforms in terms of trade volume include 0x, Kyber, Dydx, Idex, and Synthetix.

Uniswap is essentially two smart contracts on Ethereum and an open-source market that allows for onchain market maker swaps. Uniswap allows traders to utilize lists of ERC20 token pairs that they can swap for in a noncustodial manner.

The platform supports coins like ETH, MANA, BAT, WBTC, YFI, DAI, KNC, LEND, MKR, USDT, USDC, and more. The aggregate of all the dex platforms has seen $22.7 billion swapped in the last 12 months and a 107% increase in 30 days.

Much of these trades are taking place on Uniswap and this trend doesn’t seem to be abating anytime soon.
