Market

A green day for the entire market but Bitcoin continues losing its dominance down almost 1% since August 22. Altcoins continue gaining ground, especially Ethereum which has climbed from a 9% dominance to 13.3% in less than three months.  

The total market capitalization has been growing significantly after the big crash on March 12. The lowest value was around $174 million and the peak was $373 on August 16, close to a two-year high. 

Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, known for their Bitcoin holdings, believe Bitcoin alone could reach $500,000 one day. According to the twins, there are fundamental problems with the U.S. dollar but also gold and oil. 

Industry 

SBI Holdings, a Japanese financial firm is launching trading for CFDs. According to the announcement, orders can be placed in U.S. dollars and yens and customers can make use of leverage. 

We handle three types of crypto assets: Bitcoin (BTC), XRP (XRP), and Ethereum (ETH). For each cryptocurrency, there are stocks against the yen and the first financial products trader to handle the stock against the US dollar, so you can trade a total of 6 stocks.

Quote of the day

Bitcoin, and the ideas behind it, will be a disrupter to the traditional notions of currency. In the end, currency will be better for it.

– Edmund Moy, 38th Director of the United States Mint
