Big Eyes Coin, Stellar And Chain Will Have A Positive Impact On The Crypto Market In 2023

0

Nobody knows where the market will take us now or in the future; all we can do is hope for the best. However, the fact that many promising crypto assets will eventually generate returns independent of how the market performs is a key factor in why investors retain various positions on these assets.

This strategy is known as dollar-cost averaging. Along with Chain (XCN) and Stellar (XLM), which are soaring in the cryptocurrency market, Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is a new blockchain network devoted to lowering the cost of carrying out functions in DeFi.

Chain: The Ethereum Killer

The Chain Protocol is powered by the Ethereum token Chain (XCN). One of the cryptocurrencies that have big DeFi investors interested is ChainChain. Chain (XCN) is an option if you need a cryptocurrency that can endure the current crypto winter. It may become more well-known as Coinbase’s user base expands, following in the footsteps of Stellar (XLM) and Big Eyes Coin (BIG).

Chain (XCN) is a technological cloud infrastructure that allows businesses to build improved financial solutions from the ground up. Chain (XCN) is a coin built on Ethereum (ETH) that uses cloud blockchain technology.

It concentrates on enhancing public blockchain installations and the financial services within its ecosystem. With a 525 million USD market cap, its currency, XCN, is 52nd. To improve security and scalability, it makes use of a monitoring system.

Stellar: Changing The Defi Ecosystem

A decentralized cross-chain network called Stellar (XLM) attempts to bring together several financial organizations under one roof. Thanks to this, users will be able to easily access banks and cryptocurrency exchanges.

Additionally, its cross-chain capability enables users to quickly and cheaply move their digital assets across many blockchains. Additionally, it provides a market area where users can transfer, receive, trade, or manage their assets.

The open-source Stellar (XLM) platform allows users to create, exchange, and deal in cryptocurrencies. Its native token, XLM, makes all kinds of network transactions possible. With its application programming interfaces and software development kits, Stellar (XLM) is a flexible business tool that enables businesses to add new services and expand their reach.

Big Eyes Coin: Winning its Presale!

The Big Eyes meme ecosystem’s native cryptocurrency, Big Eyes Coin, has earned more than $11.7 million in presales, a big win for the community and its network. Since the funds raised will be utilized to develop logical innovations in the ecosystem, high-quality utilities powered by the $BIG token will be available.

However, you can still become a part of its community in the interim by purchasing Big Eyes Coin, and the exchange is likely to see significant advancements.

Blockchains charge higher taxes on users the more services they provide. Due to the hefty taxation, several expensive cryptocurrencies have experienced a decline. Big Eyes Coin has arrived to end this fad in the blockchain sector.

It is the best configuration to be introduced this year because there are no buy taxes, sell taxes, or transaction costs. With its earnings, Big Eyes Coin is launching a charity. It has said that 5% of its tokens will be designated for charitable purposes.

How to buy Big Eyes Coin during its Presale?

To purchase Big Eyes Coin (BIG), open the coin’s official website bigeyes.space.

  • The user must create a wallet on MetaMask or Trust Wallet in the first step.
  • Choose a payment option in the second step to purchase BIG using BNB, ETH, OR USDT.
  • After the Presale is over, the user will finally be able to get their hands on the tokens they purchased.

FTX’s Collapse: Bankman-Fried Associates Gary Wang and Caroline Ellison Plead Guilty to Fraud

0

The FTX saga has taken a new turn following the guilty plea of the company’s co-founder Gary Wang and former Alameda Research co-CEO Caroline Ellison.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams announced in a message on Wednesday that the duo pleaded guilty to federal charges in the Southern District of New York, opening a swift path for federal prosecutors to round off the FTX case.

Wang and Ellison were indicted following the sudden collapse of FTX, a popular cryptocurrency exchange holding billions of dollars in investors’ funds. At the center of the fraud allegations that led to the implosion of the company is the co-founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who was arrested about two weeks ago after weeks of investigation by the U.S. authorities.

Bankman-Fried has been charged with eight counts of criminal offenses by the same prosecutors who Wang and Ellison made their plea to. Wang and Ellison’s plea was signed into agreement on Monday.

Wang pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud. Ellison pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud, two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Their guilty plea now makes things more difficult for Bankman-Fried, who has maintained that he committed no fraud while he was the CEO of FTX. He has blamed the company’s collapse on ignorance and oversight.

Following his arrest in Bahamas, Bankman-Fried was in court for days fighting the move by the U.S. authorities to extradite him before he made a U-turn and accepted to be extradited.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed civil charges against Bankman-Fried, alleging that he deceptively raised more than $1.8 billion from equity investors since May 2019 by promoting FTX as a safe, responsible platform for trading crypto assets.

“We allege that Sam Bankman-Fried built a house of cards on a foundation of deception while telling investors that it was one of the safest buildings in crypto,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler in a statement.

Both the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have filed charges against the three people involved.

“Bankman-Fried and Wang thus gave Alameda and Ellison carte blanche to use FTX customer assets for Alameda’s trading operations and for whatever other purposes Bankman-Fried and Ellison saw fit,” the SEC said.

The complaint further alleges that they were involved “in a multiyear scheme to defraud equity investors in FTX, the crypto trading platform co-founded by Samuel Bankman-Fried and Wang.” Ellison was singled out in the SEC complaint for engaging in artificial manipulation of FTT, FTX’s self-issued token, as part of a broader effort to boost Alameda Research’s available collateral for lending.

In an expanded complaint, the CFTC charges “Ellison with fraud and material misrepresentations in connection with the sale of digital asset commodities in interstate commerce, and charges Wang with fraud in connection with the sale of digital asset commodities in interstate commerce.”

The CFTC said in a statement that Wang and Ellison accepted the claims made against them, and that they’re cooperating with the agency’s ongoing investigation.

“Gary has accepted responsibility for his actions and takes seriously his obligations as a cooperating witness,” Wang’s attorney said in a statement.

Alameda Research, a crypto trading firm, was linked to multiple loans from major crypto firms that have now filed for bankruptcy protection, including Voyager Digital and BlockFi Lending. That is besides the allegation that it was illegally given $10 billion of FTX investors’ funds by Bankman-Fried.

The SEC alleges that both Ellison and Wang, in their respective roles at Alameda and FTX, abetted Bankman-Fried in allegedly defrauding FTX customers. According to the Commission, Wang created a software backdoor in FTX’s platform which allowed Alameda to divert customer funds for its own trades.

Obi Gains in Latest ANAP/NOI Poll for Nigerian Presidency

0

A new ANAP/NOI poll is out and the race to Aso Rock remains fluid. There are many interesting observations from the last one: Obi now matches the combined Tinubu and Atiku numbers.

North West is now a toss with Atiku and Tinubu within margin of error, but Obi improves there. North Central continues to look great for Obi; he outperforms combined votes of Atiku and Tinubu as Tinubu has lost ground in that region. Coming to the South East and South South, Obi is also doing great there. Tinubu holds the South West just as Atiku holds the North East.

North West remains where elections are decided with the massive numbers from Kano and Katsina. Expect more trips.  This election is open. Of course, the best poll is election and everyone should #vote.

Note: do not be hard on me if your candidate is not doing well; I am only analyzing data. If you have verbal attacks, please send to venerable banker, Atedo Peterside, President/Founder, ANAP Foundation .

Comment 1: Ndubuisi Ekekwe; you are sharing and analyzing the data because you trust it and because it favours your candidate (PO), which in all honesty isn’t a crime. My point, as I have always said, is that you must not deny your position, directly or indirectly, if the result of the real election come February 2023 doesn’t favour your candidate or your series of postulations. Some of us are saving these posts for your reminder. ? ? ?

My Response: as I have said, send me any poll that is published by Guardian, BusinessDay, Vanguard or any of the top 7.  I do not break news, I only analyze broken and settled ones. That ensures I do not spread fake news. If the Guardian with the smartest people publishes it, even if Tinubu is up by 100%, I will analyze it.

I have no candidate and this is not my data.  I will lose this debate because Yemi is reading “Ndubuisi” before my posts. That is fine – it is Nigeria.

Comment 2: Obi can only win or come second, he cannot come third. Reason? Tinubu and Atiku cannot be do well at the same time in NW and NE, because if both are strong there, it means that both will lose…

The election has three major candidates with different characteristics, that is why it’s a different kind of election. So whether by religion, ethnicity or competence, the characteristics will still feature, it remains fluid.

The size of undecided voters is still large, so whoever that covers more grounds and remains visible could take a large chunk of that block.

Game on…

CBN Releases Security Features on New Naira Notes Over Reports of Circulation of Counterfeits

0

Just a few days after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released the newly redesigned naira notes into circulation, there have been reports of counterfeit notes dotted across the nation which has prompted the CBN to release a document of the security features on the new notes.

In a recent viral video, a man disclosed that his wife who is a pos vendor received a counterfeit of the newly redesigned N1,000 naira note.

In his words,

Fake money is in town now, people should be very careful. My wife who is into pos, someone gave the fake N1,000 naira note to her and we don’t know who gave her the money, we later discovered that it is fake money”.

He therefore went ahead to place the fake note side by side with the original one to educate Nigerians on how to differentiate the fake from the original.

He disclosed that the original note has a gold label which is known as “KINEGRAM”, which has the image of 1,000 on it and the coat of arms, while the fake one does not have it.

In a bid to ensure that the citizens do not fall victim to the counterfeit newly designed notes in circulation, the CBN has released the security features of the new naira notes.

In the documents released by the Apex bank, the details and position of the security features on the new notes are highlighted for the citizens to take note of.

The newly designed N1,000 naira note has at least 23 features, the N500 naira note has 15 features, and the N200 naira note has 10 features.

Recall that during the release of the newly designed naira notes, it was faced with widespread rejections.

While some were unaware of the new notes, several others rejected the notes, stating that it would be very difficult to identify the fake ones.

Most businessmen and women are reportedly reluctant to accept the new notes as legal tender, as they have decided to stick with the old notes pending the deadline given by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to phase out the old notes.

Recall that CBN released the new notes which the CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele disclosed was a major milestone in the bank’s effort to solve the numerous challenges facing the management of the nation’s currency.

Meanwhile, director in charge of currency at the Central Bank of Nigeria, Ahmed Bello Umar has expressed worry over the low response by Nigerians and commercial banks towards the return of the old notes.
