BTC continues to trade near the $7,000 price point, according to Cointelegraph’s Bitcoin price index, after it broke through the $7,000 threshold on August 28. At press time, the leading cryptocurrency is trading around $7,043.
ETH is trading around $290 at press time, down 1.36 percent over the last 24 hours, seeing negligible price change on the day. Yesterday, August 28, ETH saw the first major upswing in price performance after a faltering week range bound between $270-280.
LTC is currently trading around $62, down 1.74 percent on the day, according to CoinMarketCap. The total market capitalization of the altcoin is nearly $3.6 billion, while its trading volume over the past 24 hours totalled around $222 million.

In March, the Japanese arm of internet giant Yahoo said it will open a cryptocurrency exchange “in April 2019 or later.”  Yahoo Japan was going to buy 40 percent of BitARG Exchange Tokyo in April, and immediately dispatch executives to lay the foundations for the exchange to launch a year later.

90% of Cryptocurrency Market Facing ‘Extinction-Level Event’: Xapo President

A reckoning coming to the cryptocurrency markets, an “extinction-level event” that’s poised to wipe out 90 percent of the more than 1,800 coins and tokens that aren’t named bitcoin. That’s the prognostication of  Xapo  President Ted Rogers, anyway, who said that the impending altcoin bloodbath will provide discerning investors with an incredible opportunity to load up on  bitcoin  at a discount. “We could be in the midst of the extinction-level event for “cryptoassets” that many maximalists have predicted. 90%+ of @CoinMarketCap list will disappear eventually – might as well happen now,” Rogers wrote on Twitter. “Meantime, lower BTC price means incredible opportunity to buy more #bitcoin.” Ted Rogers @tedmrogers We could be in the midst of the extinction-level event for “cryptoassets” that many maximalists have predicted. 90%+ of @ CoinMarketCap list will disappear eventually - might as well happen now.

There Is No ‘Bitcoin’: What the SEC Doesn’t Get About Cryptocurrency

Edan Yago is the founder of  CementDAO , an effort to bring together stablecoins into a unified ecosystem.  He previously was the CEO and co-founder of software firm Epiphyte and helped set up the industry associations DATA and the Stablecoin Foundation.  The views expressed here are his own. —————————- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been gone to significant lengths in an attempt to understand the crypto asset space. This effort is to be applauded. However, the SEC has failed to come to terms with one fundamental aspect of crypto assets and systems. Namely, properly constructed crypto systems do not involve “persons” or “entities” and do not represent a form of property. For this reason, they do not have any analogue in the traditional financial world, nor can they fall under financial regulation. In the traditional financial world, assets are a claim on a specific property. For example, a commodity, shares in a company or a debt o...

Fidelity Confirms Crypto Rumors, Recognizes Potential Of Bitcoin

Fidelity’s Crypto Platform In “Final Testing” The broader crypto industry was shocked on  mid-October , when Fidelity Investments, a Boston-based investment giant with tens of thousands of clients, and similarly impressive assets under management, revealed that it would be launching a pro-Bitcoin crypto platform. This platform, now known as Fidelity Digital Assets Services (FDAS), headed by Tom Jessop, was marketed as a way for Fidelity’s 13,000 institutional clients to gain access to top-of-the-line cryptocurrency custody and trade execution. While many were caught off guard by this announcement, Jessop explained in an  interview  with Laura Shin, a leading crypto journalist, that Fidelity’s Bitcoin ambitions started in 2014, when the company began to research and even test the flagship cryptocurrency. Rumor has it that Fidelity also set up a semi-mining farm, likely in a bid to understand blockchain technology more in-depth. And eventually, after years of exper...
