Bitcoin sheds 9% on higher than expected CPI data, approaches key $20,000 level

/////

Bitcoin fell Tuesday, following stocks lower after the August consumer price index report came in higher than expected.

The cryptocurrency slid 9.66% on Tuesday, falling to $20,249.8 per coin at 4:00 p.m. ET according to Coin Metrics. It was bitcoin’s worst day since June 18.

The declining price is a reversal of earlier gains. Bitcoin had hit a one-month high of $22,764.49 Tuesday morning before falling, according to Coin Metrics.

The rally, which brought the digital asset back above the key psychological $20,000 level last week, was spurred by softening of the U.S. dollar ahead of Tuesday’s inflation report, which was expected to show that inflation had cooled off. A much-anticipated network update for Ethereum also boosted the digital coin’s price.

But August CPI data showed that inflation rose month over month even as gas prices slipped. The U.S. dollar jumped, and stocks sold off sharply as Wall Street anticipates more aggressive interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

As rates surge, investors sought to shed risky assets like cryptocurrencies.

Ether, the token that runs on Ethereum, also slipped more than 6% on Tuesday ahead of the much-anticipated Merge, expected to take place sometime between Sept. 13-15. During the merge, Ethereum will switch from a proof-of-work model to one that uses proof-of-stake.

The move will help make Ethereum more energy efficient and secure. It should also help draw new investors to the cryptocurrency, which has the second-largest market cap after bitcoin.

Still, it’s not clear when exactly the Merge will happen. It may also take more than the three days investors are currently watching.

Planetarium Labs announces mint date for NFT project of Nine Chronicles

/////

Singapore, September. 12, 2022 — The world’s first open-source, fully decentralized role-playing game, Nine Chronicles, developed by Planetarium Labs, has launched a new nonfungible token (NFT) project, Decentralized Cat (D:CC). The minting of the profile pictures (PFPs) will be on September 21st. The NFT project unlocks exclusive features to owners, including rewards, benefits, special in-game items and an invitation to alter their identity within the Nine Chronicles multiverse. 

Nine Chronicles is a fully decentralized RPG powered by the players, based on Norse mythology, and the first game to be developed by Planetarium’s serverless Libplanet network library. After receiving funding from industry leaders, such as Animoca Brands, Nine Chronicles is ready to expand its products to support the players and the community further.

The art is produced by Sangmi Seon, Art Director and NFT project Creative Director of Nine Chronicles with over 11 years of experience leading art direction for Asia’s top game companies. The newly revealed NFTs are garnering attention thanks to the exceptional quality of the art. 

With extreme detailing, the PFPs tie in with the theme of the cat character in Nine Chronicles and their new concept of the D:CC. The story centers around a secretive religion serving the character of Cosmic Cat God the Great, who decentralized itself and sent avatars to the Nine Chronicles universe. Owning a D:CC-issued PFP will welcome you into a clandestine society with the eternal blessings from the Cat.

The D:CC NFT collection will have a total supply of 4,000 unique NFTs, 2,800 of which will go to users who have been accepted into the Pionyan Program by Nine Chronicles, with 200 to be allocated for the internal team. 

The first and second presales will be done with Wrapped Nine Chronicles Gold (WNCG).

WNCG is a 1:1 NCG-backed ERC-20 token that offers the power of NCG with the flexibility of an ERC-20 token. WNCG is available on various exchanges, such as OKX, KuCoin, MEXC Global, Balancer, SushiSwap and Bitfinex.

The Pionyan Program allows users who hold a minimum of 1,000 WNCG in their wallets to go directly into the Allowlist for the mint. The first presale will enable users from the Allowlist to mint one NFT each for 999 WNCG. The second presale will include users from the Pionyan Program who are in both the Allowlist and Waitlist to mint the NFT competitively. The raffle for the Pionyan Program begins on September 17, with the raffle winners being announced on September 19. 

The mint for D:CC begins on September 21, with the winners from the raffle given priority to the mint before it opens to the public.

The PFP is not just a regular profile picture — it will allow users to have access to additional and exclusive cryptocurrencies, vote on future collaborations and more in the expansive Nine Chronicles world. 

Planetarium Labs launching its own NFT collection is only one of many future steps it is taking to constantly grow its economy.

Content focused Web3 project Contentos expands into Europe and plans to issue ‘Soulbound’ tokens for certified creators

/////

Paris, France, 14th September, 2022, Chainwire


Contentos, a content-focused Web3 project with more than a million active creators, will be participating in Binance Blockchain Week Paris 2022. Optimistic about Europe’s high acceptance of NFTs and blockchain applications, Contentos plans to expand into the European market.

In addition to this news, Contentos Foundation Co-Founder & CEO, Mick Tsai revealed that in the near future, certified creators will be able to issue ‘Soulbound Tokens’ on the Contentos Mainnet and on COS.TV, Web3 video distribution and digital assets management platform, to provide an extensive Web3 experience for content creators.

Invested by Binance Labs, Contentos Foundation focuses on building the infrastructure of the Web3 content economy via COS.TV, which has a huge community of creators and users from Latin America and Southeast Asia, and has strategic partners such as Dailymotion, a well-known French video-sharing technology platform. 

COS.TV has also recently partnered with Binance Connect, enabling the purchase of COS tokens using fiat such as Euros within the platform using credit cards, simplifying the fiat-crypto conversion process and making it easier for fans to support their favourite creators.

Before the NFT and Metaverse craze, Contentos Foundation focused on building an extensive digital collectibles environment for its pioneering creator community by supporting DeFi. In 2021, plans for the COS.SPACE Metaverse was announced, and privileges were granted to Contentos ecosystem builders, with holders enjoying privileges such as exclusive NFT collections, and the ability to use COS.TV NFT Profile Pictures, VEST lending and pledge rewards, and COS.SPACE mining rights.

Mick expressed: “As Instagram’s digital collectible display function gradually extends to the public, we are witnessing the rise of decentralisation as individuals are no longer bound by centralised platforms. Regardless of the platform or game, an established identity, along with its assets, is free to be transferred and verified in Web3.”

Following this trend, COS.TV has developed functions to display digital collections on personal accounts, paid Pay-per-View subscriptions for exclusive audio and video using crypto, one-stop NFT creation and publication on OpenSea for video and audio content, and content creator gifting functions.

Contentos Foundation Vice President of Marketing, Ava Wen, further mentioned “Europe leads the world in diversity and inclusivity, and these characteristics are the core of decentralisation. Contentos looks forward to collaborating with creators who are as passionate about the Web3 content economy as we are.”

About Contentos 

The vision of Contentos is to build a decentralized digital content community that allows content to be freely produced, distributed, rewarded and traded, while protecting author rights. Contentos strives to incentivize content creation and global diversity and return the rights and value of content to users. A decentralized video platform, COS.TV is built on top of the Contentos mainnet, which now serves over 1 million global users monthly around the world. Creators can earn not just block rewards with their videos but can also receive direct support from fans via watching ads or sending Gifting Votes. These revenue models generate profit for creators and the COS.TV platforms are just like ads on YouTube today. In 2022, Contentos released a roadmap to build a metaverse around content creation and consumption. Starting with COS.SPACE “virtual real estate”, Contentos’ metaverse will be a place where COS.TV users can create their virtual home experience.

Blockchain.com Lists TRX in its Wallet and Exchange

/////

Geneva, Switzerland, 13th September, 2022, Chainwire


Blockchain.com has listed TRON’s native utility token TRX on its platform. Multiple incentive programs will be featured, including one that allows users to earn up to 8% in annual rewards for users who hold their TRX in a Blockchain.com Rewards Account. 

TRX is available to send, receive, buy, sell, swap, and earn rewards in the Blockchain.com Wallet and to deposit, trade, and withdraw on the Blockchain.com Exchange, making TRX more accessible for people to use worldwide. With this addition, Blockchain.com is striving to grow the Web3 landscape by attracting more notable layer-1 public blockchains.

Blockchain.com is one of the original cryptocurrency companies that began as the first Bitcoin blockchain explorer in 2011 and later created a cryptocurrency wallet and exchange. In addition to its consumer offerings, they provide a one-stop shop for institutional clients that includes OTC trading, custody, and lending capabilities. With its robust balance sheet, technology, and market expertise, they partner with institutional clients to create bespoke solutions tailored to specific objectives. The oldest crypto platform has a track record of helping increase liquidity for newly listed tokens as it becomes available to millions of users.

Over 37 million verified users worldwide and 84 million wallet holders use Blockchain.com products, opening up exposure to TRX among a large community of users. There are millions of dollars worth of volume each day on the platform and multiple different features, including Rewards Accounts where users who hold their TRX with Blockchain.com will be able to earn up to 8% in annual rewards.

TRX is a TRC-20 utility token that enables the authority of the TRON protocol and its dApp ecosystem. TRON strives to become a framework for the decentralized web. By providing users with fast and low-cost transactions, its network is optimized for speed and scalability. As the mainnet native token of TRON, TRX is used to power smart contracts, pay transaction fees, and serve as a unit of account across the TRON ecosystem.

The listing of TRX on Blockchain.com and on other major platforms has been a common theme for TRON DAO throughout the year. Staking rewards, enhanced liquidity, and widened user reach have all helped expand the TRON ecosystem into becoming much more mainstream.

The efficient delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and its wide range of utilities for business and developers to build on its network have helped TRON become one of the largest public chains in the world, with 2,000 TPS, over 110 million accounts, and more than 3.8 billion transactions. This latest listing makes TRX more attainable for the public to utilize on TRON dApps to further grow the ecosystem.

About TRON DAO

TRON is dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps). Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users.

The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of August 2022, it has over 110 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 3.8 billion total transactions, and over $13.2 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021.

The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently, the over-collateralized decentralized stablecoin USDD was launched on the TRON blockchain, backed by the first-ever crypto reserve for the blockchain industry – TRON DAO Reserve, marking TRON’s official entry into decentralized stablecoins.

‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ author urges his followers to invest in crypto

/////

Investors are barreling towards a catastrophic market collapse, and should buy cryptocurrencies before they usurp the US dollar and transform the entire financial system, Robert Kiyosaki told his followers in an email on Sunday.

“I predict the biggest crash in world history is coming,” the “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author and personal-finance guru told subscribers to the “Rich Dad Community” mailing list.

Kiyosaki forecasted a lengthy downturn, but reiterated his view that bear markets are the best times for investors to snag bargains and score outsized returns. He also asserted the US dollar would crash the existing economic system, leading to mainstream acceptance of crypto, as it isn’t controlled by the government.

“It’s not enough to WANT to get into crypto,” he said. “Now is the time you NEED to get into crypto, before the biggest economic crash in history.”

However, Kiyosaki dismissed the most popular crypto as worthless on his radio show in May. “I trade bitcoin. But I don’t think it has any value. I just play the game.”

Moreover, bitcoin and other digital coins have tumbled alongside stocks and other risk assets this year, suggesting many crypto fans aren’t fully convinced they’ll revolutionize global finance.

Kiyosaki has repeatedly warned of a sprawling bubble in asset prices, and cautioned it would end with a painful pop. He tweeted on August 30 that the crash was underway, pointing to the sliding prices of stocks, bitcoin, gold, silver, and real estate.

The doomsayer also issued some offbeat advice in June for investors looking to beat inflation. He recommended stockpiling canned goods such as tuna and baked beans, along with household goods including trash bags and toilet paper, to get ahead of price increases.

Unstoppable Domains partners with BitDegree to give away $50 million worth of NFT domains

/////

September 13, 2022, marks the date of an unprecedented Learn&Earn campaign led by a recent Web3 Unicorn Unstoppable Domains and a leading global crypto educator BitDegree.

Companies join forces to distribute up to $50 million worth of NFT domains to all students who complete any Web3-related course on the BitDegree platform. 

“BitDegree and Unstoppable Domains have agreed to reward people who invest their time learning about crypto and Web3, incentivizing them to learn more and attracting newcomers to Web3 through learning. Web3 adoption will happen faster if we make the crypto community deepen its knowledge. So, we have decided to launch a massive campaign to capture the world’s attention – which we believe is the biggest Learn&Earn campaign in the history of crypto. In particular, we want our students to learn about the Web3 identity as the time is ripe for its adoption,” – Danielius Stasiulis, CEO and Co-Founder of BitDegree.

The 30-day Learn&Earn campaign aims to bring Web3 closer to the people by educating the existing crypto community and industry newbies. Students who completed any Web3 course before this campaign will also be able to claim a free NFT domain.

To signify the importance of the Web3 identity and its potential, BitDegree developed a dedicated LearnDrop course: NFT Domains: The Future of Web3 Identity. It is dedicated to educating students on the issues related to digital identities and solves a global lack of learning opportunities covering this topic. 

“Web3 is still in its dial-up days, and education is the key to getting more people started. That’s why we’re so excited to help more people start their Web3 journey through this campaign,” – Sandy Carter, SVP and Channel Chief of Unstoppable Domains.

In Web2, our likes, comments, purchases, passwords, and posts are controlled by a handful of large tech companies that gather this data. Web3 identity enables individuals to have a single login and a portable digital identity that they own and control. 

As an advocate of decentralization, Web3 identities, and user empowerment, BitDegree also supports Login with Unstoppable, a single-sign-on product by Unstoppable Domains. Login with Unstoppable allows BitDegree students to log in with their NFT Domain and keep control of their data. 

This partnership with Unstoppable Domains is the most recent for BitDegree. The company’s goal is to educate the crypto community about exciting crypto businesses and projects through the prism of the issues they solve. In the near future Unstoppable will be delivering profile badges to BitDegree students that have finished a web3 course. 

Earlier this year, BitDegree announced transitioning into Learnoverse – the first crypto learning metaverse. All current and future crypto content and features developed by the Web3 learning platform or its partners will be transferred to Learnoverse.

About BitDegree

BitDegree is a blockchain-enabled online educational platform that aims to connect educators, learners, and employers in a way that benefits every party. The company is focusing on innovating online learning methods with crypto tools. BitDegree is currently moving toward building an educational metaverse to provide an immersive learning experience. The goal is the create a space for everyone to teach and learn Web3, crypto, blockchain, and other skills. 

About Unstoppable Domains

Founded in 2018, Unstoppable Domains is an NFT domain name provider and digital identity platform working to onboard the world onto Web 3. Unstoppable Domains offers NFT domains minted on the blockchain, giving people full ownership and control of their digital identity with no renewal fees.

With Unstoppable Domains, people can replace lengthy alphanumeric crypto wallet addresses with a human-readable name and log into and transact with over 200 apps, wallets, exchanges, and marketplaces.

Forbes named the company one of America’s Best Startup Employers in 2022. In July 2022, Unstoppable Domains achieved Unicorn status after raising a $64 million Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital.


Bitcoin rallies 17%, holds above $22,000 ahead of Ethereum upgrade

/////

Bitcoin held above $22,000 on Monday as it continues a week-long rally ahead of U.S. inflation data and a highly anticipated Ethereum network upgrade.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading at $22,328.27 at around 9:15 a.m. ET, according to CoinDesk data.

After falling below $19,000 on Wednesday to its lowest level since June, bitcoin has since rallied around 17%.

This also comes off the back of a winning week last week for U.S. stocks. Bitcoin has been closely correlated to equity markets, particularly the Nasdaq, and often moves higher when the tech-heavy index rises.

Crypto investors are looking ahead to the August consumer price index report, scheduled to be released Tuesday, to see the direction inflation is headed which could give hints toward future policy moves by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Stocks have been under pressure this year as the Fed has hiked interest rates to try to control rampant inflation.

Cryptocurrencies, which are also risk assets, have been battered. Nearly $2 trillion has been wiped off the entire crypto market since its all-time high in November. Bitcoin is down more than 50% this year.

That decline has also been driven by crypto-specific issues including the collapse of key projects and bankruptcies that have spread across the industry.

Meanwhile, the Ethereum network will complete a long-awaited upgrade called the merge. This will transform the Ethereum blockchain from a proof-of-work to proof-of-stake model and significantly reduce the amount of energy required for the network to operate.

Proponents say this could pave the way for a broader use of ether, the token that runs on Ethereum.

“Crypto faces an unusual double whammy this week: U.S. inflation data and [hopefully] the long-awaited and oft-delayed Ethereum Merge. Hold your breath for a rollercoaster ride,” Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of Nexo, said in a note on Monday.

“In a time awash with narratives, there’s none bigger than the Merge in crypto and it’s one which the wider world should take notice of with Ethereum’s carbon footprint set to be slashed by 99%.”

However, analysts cautioned that the merge will not necessarily speed up the Ethereum network, which is known to be slow, nor will it reduce the fees associated with transactions.

Still, excitement has been growing for the merge. Since ether hit its low for the year in mid-June, the price for the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency has far outpaced bitcoin’s. Ether is up more than 90% since June. 19 while bitcoin has risen just over 20%, begging the question of how much the merge has already been priced in.

The Federal Reserve is also widely expected to increase interest rates again next week when its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets, which is another dark cloud hanging over the crypto market.

“The Merge may trigger a ‘sell the fact’ situation in the crypto market and we still need to be careful for next week’s FOMC meeting. Bitcoin could continue to rally but it could be quite short lived,” Yuya Hasegawa, crypto market analyst at Japanese exchange Bitbank, said in a note Monday.
