• 23,600 crypto employees lost their jobs in 2022, making it the highest number of crypto layoffs ever recorded.
• Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, Amber Group, Huobi, and Bitpanda were among the top firms with the highest number of layoffs.
• Crypto exchanges have been hit harder than other crypto firms due to the dip in trading volume as a result of the bear market.

The crypto industry has been hit hard by the bear market, leading to massive layoffs across the sector. In 2022, a total of 23,600 crypto employees lost their jobs, making it the highest number of crypto layoffs ever recorded in a single year.

Coinbase, one of the largest crypto firms, had to lay off 1160 employees, which accounted for 4.6% of the total crypto layoffs in 2022. Kraken also had to implement massive layoffs, with about 1100 employees losing their jobs, which was about 30% of its workforce. Bybit was not far behind, with 1,020 employees losing their jobs. Amber Group had to lay off 800 employees, while Huobi and Bitpanda had to lay off 300 and 270 employees, respectively. Other firms such as Snap, BlockFi, and Gemini also had to implement layoffs.

It is evident that crypto exchanges have been hit harder than other crypto firms due to the impact of the bear market. Most of these exchanges survive on transaction fees generated on their respective networks. As such, the decline in trading volume due to the bear market has had a massive effect on these exchanges.

Fortunately, the crypto industry is beginning to show signs of recovery as the market starts to stabilize. However, it remains to be seen how long it will take for the industry to fully recover from the effects of the bear market.

• Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, commented on the recent movement of Alameda-related funds, denying his involvement and offering to help with the investigation.
• Bankman-Fried faces criminal charges and is likely to be offered a plea deal similar to his associates.
• His next hearing is set for Jan. 3 and the Wall Street Journal suggests that he will plead not guilty.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, recently returned to Twitter after weeks of inactivity coinciding with his arrest. He commented on a recent event that saw Alameda-related cryptocurrency addresses move at least $1.7 million of assets, which were transferred to crypto mixers in several batches on Dec. 28. Bankman-Fried denied that he was involved in the movement of funds, stating: “None of these are me. I’m not and couldn’t be moving any of those funds; I don’t have access to them anymore.” However, he added that it was likely that “various legit legs of FTX” can access those funds and said that he hopes that those entities were behind the movement of funds. He also offered to help advise regulators in the investigation, likely motivated by the criminal charges he is facing.

Bankman-Fried could possibly attempt to arrange a plea deal similar to those obtained by his associates, Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang, in order to reduce his sentence. However, one former federal prosecutor has suggested that Bankman-Fried is unlikely to be given a favorable deal due to his lead role in FTX’s alleged fraud. His next hearing is set for Jan. 3 and the Wall Street Journal suggested today that, based on its sources, Bankman-Fried will plead not guilty.

Overall, Bankman-Fried has denied any involvement in the movement of Alameda-related funds and has offered to help advise regulators in the investigation. His next hearing is set for Jan. 3 and the Wall Street Journal suggests that he will plead not guilty.

• Valkyrie Investments has submitted a proposal to become the sponsor and manager of Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).
• Valkyrie plans to offer orderly redemptions at net asset value (NAV), reduce GBTC fees, and offer redemptions in both Bitcoin and cash.
• Grayscale is attempting to convert GBTC into an ETF, and also looking at other possibilities such as a tender offer for up to 20% of outstanding shares.

Valkyrie Investments recently announced that it has submitted a proposal to become the sponsor and manager of Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). GBTC is among the largest Bitcoin investment funds, valued at 643,572 BTC ($10.6 billion) at present. However, the fund is also in trouble, as GBTC was trading at 50% less than the value of the Bitcoin that it holds in December.

In efforts to improve upon Grayscale BTC, Valkyrie proposed to offer orderly redemptions at net asset value (NAV), allowing customers to withdraw their funds at a fair value without any issues. The company also aims to reduce GBTC fees and offer redemptions in both Bitcoin and cash. Moreover, Valkyrie is launching the Valkyrie Opportunistic Fund LP, which will take advantage of the discrepancy between GBTC and the NAV.

Grayscale, on the other hand, is attempting to convert GBTC into an ETF, in order to raise the price of the fund. The past attempts to do so have failed due to rejections from the U.S. SEC. Grayscale has also suggested other possibilities, including a tender offer for up to 20% of outstanding shares, according to recent Wall Street Journal reports.

Valkyrie noted today that it has a proven track record of successfully managing a Bitcoin fund, and said that its proposal is a significant improvement over the current management of GBTC. The company asked Grayscale to consider its proposal carefully. With both firms aiming to improve upon the operation of GBTC, it remains to be seen which of their plans will come to fruition.

As of December 29th, the total supply of wallets holding between 0.1 Bitcoin (BTC) and 1 Bitcoin has surpassed 1 million coins, while the collective supply of wallets that hold between 1 BTC and 10 BTC has topped 2 million. This indicates an exponential growth in the total supply of these wallets since late 2013, with significant growth periods in 2016 and 2018.

This surge in the total supply of wallets can be seen in the chart below, which represents the total supply held by wallets in question since 2010. The orange line illustrates how the total supply has been steadily increasing since late 2013, with short periods of exponential growth in 2016 and 2018.

The impressive growth in the total supply of wallets holding between 0.1 BTC and 1 BTC is further highlighted by the fact that the total supply held by wallets that hold between 1 BTC and 10 BTC has also broken its own all-time high by surpassing 2 million at the end of November.

The continued growth in the total supply of wallets holding between 0.1 BTC and 1 BTC, as well as those holding between 1 BTC and 10 BTC, is a testament to the increasing popularity of Bitcoin as a digital asset and its increasing utility as a store of value. This trend has been further reinforced by the recent surge in the price of Bitcoin, which has seen the leading cryptocurrency break its own all-time high multiple times in the past month.

The growth in the total supply of wallets holding between 0.1 BTC and 1 BTC, as well as those holding between 1 BTC and 10 BTC, is a clear indication of the increasing popularity of Bitcoin and its status as a digital asset. This trend is expected to continue in the near future as more and more investors flock to Bitcoin in search of a safe-haven asset.

Binance, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, achieved a number of major milestones in 2022. The exchange secured 14 licenses from 14 different countries, grew its headcount to 7,500 people representing over 100 nationalities, and serves over 120 million users from all over the world.

Binance CEO Changpeng (CZ) Zhao said that the goal of the exchange was to remain user-focused, despite the noise of token prices, projects’ reputations, and the fortunes of individual investors. Binance was able to remain true to this core value in everything they did.

Binance was also dedicated to securing regulatory licenses from various countries in order to meet local requirements. As of the end of 2022, the exchange holds 14 licenses from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, South Africa, France, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Australia, and New Zealand, and is operational in over 140 countries worldwide.

In addition to the licenses, Binance also increased its security and compliance capabilities. The exchange increased its security and compliance staff by 500%, providing enhanced safety for its users. This commitment to security and compliance was further strengthened by increasing its compliance team to 750 people from 500.

• A hacker leaked 3Commas‘ API keys in a Dec. 28 Twitter thread, which was verified by 3Commas CEO Yuriy Sorokin.
• Binance CEO Changpeng ‚CZ‘ Zhao advised users to disable 3Commas‘ access immediately.
• Crypto community members have asked the compromised trading platform to refund victims of the API hack.

A data breach on the popular trading platform 3Commas has left users feeling insecure and demanding refunds. On Dec. 28, a hacker leaked 3Commas’ API keys in a Twitter thread, which was verified by 3Commas CEO Yuriy Sorokin. Sorokin confirmed that the data published by the hacker was factual, and that the platform has reached out to exchanges like Binance, KuCoin, and others to revoke the keys connected to 3Commas.

Binance CEO Changpeng ‚CZ‘ Zhao advised users to disable its access immediately, citing that he was „reasonably sure there are widespread API key leaks from 3Commas.“ Sorokin apologized for his firm’s handling of the situation and said they have implemented new security measures and involved law enforcement agencies in launching a full investigation.

In the wake of the hack, the crypto community has asked 3Commas to refund victims of the API key breach. Victim Coinmamba tweeted, “With all the drama, where’s the refund, 3commas? We have all suffered losses due to your negligence.” Other users echoed the sentiment and said they were unable to access their funds, while some reported that the hacker was still exploiting their API keys.

3Commas has yet to respond to the community’s call for a refund, instead focusing on improving their security measures. The platform said it has implemented a new two-factor authentication system and has enabled a “user-level security audit log” to improve the transparency of its operations and protect users’ funds.

Given the amount of money lost due to the breach, users are likely to remain adamant in their pursuit of a refund from 3Commas. In the meantime, users should take extra precautions to protect their funds and data by disabling their API access on 3Commas and other crypto platforms.

Bullet Points:
•Donald Trump’s NFT collection, Trump Digital Trading Cards, has dropped 80% in value in the past 10 days, with the floor price now at 0.16 ETH.
•45,000 NFTs are owned by a total of 15,115 owners, which equates to a 34% unique owner rate.
•NFT International LLC is taking a 10% cut on each trade, which equates to over $1 million in revenue.

Donald Trump’s Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection, Trump Digital Trading Cards, launched on December 15th, 2020 and has recently seen a sharp decline in its value. Over the past ten days, the floor price has dropped from 0.84 Ethereum (ETH) to 0.16 ETH, a decrease of over 80%.

The collection consists of 45,000 NFTs, each priced at $99 during the entry period, which translates to 0.083 ETH based on current ETH prices. The owner of the NFT line is NFT International LLC, which has made $4.45 million in revenue upon launch. NFT International LLC is taking a 10% cut on each trade, which equates to over $1 million in revenue. Currently, 45,000 NFTs are owned by 15,115 owners, which equates to a 34% unique owner rate.

Although the NFT collection was met with excitement upon launch, it has recently faced heavy criticism, largely due to internal minting, licensing errors, and alleged design plagiarism. This has corresponded with the sharp decline in the NFT’s value, as the floor price dropped from 0.84 ETH to 0.16 ETH in a 10-day span.

It remains to be seen how the NFT collection will fare in the coming weeks and months, as the sharp decline in value is concerning for any investor. However, it is possible that the collection could rebound and regain some of its lost value, which is why many investors are still holding onto their tokens.

Digitale Wertmarken wie Zcash und Monero haben 2019 zugenommen, während sich noch größere Münzen wie LTC auf Datenschutzfunktionen konzentrieren, um neue Marktanteile zu gewinnen.

Einem neuen Bericht zufolge haben sich datenschutzorientierte digitale Vermögenswerte wie Zcash (ZEC) und Monero (XMR) im Jahr 2019 verteuert. Diejenigen mit einer höheren Marktkapitalisierung, wie z.B. Litecoin (LTC), können erwarten, dass sie mit neuen Datenschutzfunktionen konkurrieren können.

Der Bericht stammt von der sozialen Handels- und Investitionsplattform eToro in Partnerschaft mit dem Finanzmanagement- und Analyseunternehmen The Tie. Sie zeigt an, dass die ZEC im 1. Quartal 2020 gegenüber Bitcoin (BTC) um 26,97% gestiegen ist, während Monero einen bescheideneren Anstieg von 4,61% verzeichnete. In der Zwischenzeit hat LTC, das derzeit Mimblewimble-Transaktionen für einen besseren Datenschutz hinzufügt, die BTC um 8,97% übertroffen.

Bringt die Konzentration der Investoren auf die Privatsphäre Gewinne?

Nein. Krypto-Währungen wie die BTC wurden ursprünglich u.a. aus Gründen der Anonymität ihrer Transaktionen geschaffen. Die Tatsache, dass sich im Jahr 2020 mehr 09 dafür entscheiden werden, Vermögenswerte zu kaufen, die auf die Wahrung der Privatsphäre der Nutzer ausgerichtet sind, ist keine große Überraschung. Der Brave-Browser, der als datenschutzorientierte Alternative zu Google Chrome entwickelt wurde, verkaufte 35 Millionen US-Dollar seiner BAT-Token in weniger als einer Minute.

Ein bei Litecoin arbeitender Entwickler sagt voraus, dass die Einführung des Mimblewimble-Privatsphäre-Protokolls in ihrem Testnetz im September erfolgen wird.
In einem Gespräch mit Cointelegraph sprach Joshua Frank, Mitbegründer und CEO von TIE, einige dieser Bedenken hinsichtlich des Datenschutzes im Bereich der digitalen Inhalte an:

„Während die Regierungen nach dem Coronavirus mehr Kontrolle über die Bewegungen und Daten von Menschen ausüben, werden wir meiner Meinung nach weiterhin ein Muster von Menschen sehen, die nach Wegen suchen, ihre Privatsphäre und Anonymität zu wahren. Das hat sich auch auf den Bereich der digitalen Assets ausgeweitet, da wir eine erhöhte Nachfrage nach Währungen wie Zcash, Monero und Litecoin beobachten, die einen neuen Schwerpunkt auf den Datenschutz legen. Alle drei Vermögenswerte übertrafen Bitcoin im ersten Quartal.

Trotz der umfangreichen Liquidation wächst das Interesse an Bitcoin
Es bleibt die Frage, warum diese Trends größeren Währungen wie der BTC, die im April 2020 nur halb so viel wert ist wie im Sommer 2019, nicht geholfen haben. Ripple (XRP) erlebte 2019 sein bisher schlechtestes Jahr und verlor während des großen Einbruchs im März beinahe seinen dritten Platz mit Tether (USDT).

Dem Bericht zufolge „hat sich die Anlegerstimmung zwischen Bitcoin und dem S&P 500 insgesamt in den letzten 12 Monaten angenähert“. Seit März 2020 korreliert BTC stärker mit Gold als mit dem S&P 500. Während die Kryptomonik noch nicht den Schwung gesehen hat, den ZEC und XMR haben, ist es laut Frank noch zu früh, um wirklich zu wissen, ob BTC von der Verschiebung auf den traditionellen Märkten profitieren wird.

„Obwohl Bitcoin am 12. März einen der größten Verkäufe aller Zeiten erlebte, zeigte sich der Titel widerstandsfähig, erholte sich deutlich von den Tiefstständen und verzeichnete einen 47%igen Anstieg des Tweet-Volumens. Das Interesse an Bitcoin wächst, und die Geschichte des digitalen Goldes hat den Weg gewiesen.
