Harmony, an open blockchain infrastructure, hazs recently announced that it will be working with Suterusu to incorporate new privacy features on its blockchain. Suterusu is a well-known blockchain privacy specialist.

cThe partnership is expected to add ZCash-level privacy to the Harmony protocol via trustless zk-SNARKs integration. Suterusu provides privacy protection services for major blockchains already. It will bring anonymous payments and confidential transactions to the Harmony network by establishing a privacy-preserving layer-2 protocol on top of Harmony blockchain.

A fully transparent layer-2 privacy-preserving of Harmony will help in facilitating DeFi and other decentralized applications more efficiently. The Harmony team noted:

We believe this kind of partnership will expand our ecosystem and enable better occupancy for confidential assets. The future of privacy is already here but unevenly distributed. This partnership comes to support our fundamental goals to be achieved within 2020, as outlined within the Harmony 2020 Roadmap, and includes: cross-border utility, decentralized development, and auditable privacy.

Top 3 Price Prediction: BTC consolidates gains, ETH defends support, XRP nears breakout trigger

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple begin the week on a constructive note as the top three cryptocurrencies attempt to extend rebounds after recovering nearly 4%, 2% and 2.6%, respectively. BTC steadies around $65,600, ETH continues to hold firmly above the key $1,700 support, while XRP nears the upper boundary of the falling channel pattern.

Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH struggles below $1,700 amid subdued on-chain users and capital outflows

Ethereum rises, albeit gradually, toward $1,700. The smart contract token reflects a marginal increase in buyers seeking to re-engage at lower price levels, following the massive drawdown from mid-May, which was largely driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and macroeconomic uncertainty.

XRP clings to support as derivatives interest cools

Ripple hangs on to $1.14 support, extending its rebound from its early-week support at $1.10 and June’s low of $1.05. Maintaining this short-term support level is vital for the remittance token to preserve its bullish momentum, with a decisive breakout above $1.20 likely to signal further upside potential.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP recovery slows amid incessant capital outflows

The cryptocurrency remains in a broader corrective bias on Friday, despite majors such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) holding slightly higher than early-week support levels. Bitcoin hovers around $63,500 amid a capped upside. Ethereum eyes a breakout past $1,700, while XRP hovers above $1.40.

Experts agree: Bitcoin nears bottom, but weak demand raises doubts

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading above $63,000 at the time of writing on Friday after rebounding from the key 200-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $62,000, a level widely viewed as key long-term support. The recovery may suggest that Bitcoin has found a floor after a sharp correction that spanned more than a month, but some warning signs persist.
