Dash Developers Release Dash Platform v0.14 Update
The Dash Core Group announced Dash Platform v0.14 on their blog last week. This release was the third in the updated regulated development process, and the fifth overall. According to the developers, new functionality will be added approximately every six weeks, and the next update will be released between August 25 and September 8.
Major updates to Dash Platform v0.14 include the addition of document timestamps, a new and improved DAPI Client, a platform testing suite, and an improved distribution. Adding timestamps allows you to capture the creation or update time of any document stored in the Dash Platform. Timestamps also provide opportunities for optimizing applications, for example, by sampling only new or updated documents.
The developers have also completely rewritten the DAPI Client to improve code quality, usability, and testability. In the new version, developers can specify exact DAPI node addresses or implement their own custom logic to get or select nodes. All DAPI client methods have the same parameters as the DAPI Client constructor, so developers can specify different scripts for each API call.
FTX Exchange Launches Decentralized Trading Platform On Solana Blockchain
The Serum platform promises to provide scalability and high liquidity when trading derivatives in a decentralized environment. According to the announcement, this will help remove a number of structural problems and limitations inherent in the DeFi space.
Solana provides processing up to 50,000 transactions per second, while Ethereum only 15. Thanks to this, Serum will maintain the order book on the blockchain, which will positively affect the liquidity of the trading platform.
Serum will receive full compatibility with Ethereum and will be suitable for circulation of a wide range of DeFi tokens. Also, a token will be presented on the exchange, reflecting the value of bitcoin. Thus, users will be able to freely exchange the first cryptocurrency for DeFi tokens.
According to CoinGecko, the SOL token has nearly doubled in size over the past few days, reaching its highest level in history, around $ 1.90. Also today FTX announced the listing of SOL on the spot market and as a derivative for leveraged trading.
Bitcoin price has exceeded $ 10,000, altcoins continue to lead
The bitcoin rate resumed its rise on Sunday and turned out to be above $ 10,000. The last time the first cryptocurrency managed to reach these levels in early June.
The growth of bitcoin over the past day was about 4.5%. The most active cryptocurrencies of the largest in the last day were Ethereum and Cardano, which grew by more than 11%. ETH has hit annual highs around $ 316 and ADA has already returned to mid-2018 levels.
At the same time, some altcoins went down and lost 10-15% of their value in a day. Mostly these are the most successful assets of the previous period, such as Aave, Swipe and Kava.
A number of market participants expected that the $ 10,000 level would hold back bitcoin's further upward movement. This is evidenced by the data of the BitMEX exchange, where the volume of liquidations of positions on BTC derivatives over the past hour approached $ 50 million.
Cryptocurrency market capitalization exceeded $ 300 billion. Above this level this year, the value rose only for a short time in February.
The outflow of bitcoins from exchanges for the first time in several months gave way to an influx
Based on statistics up to July 19, Glassnode analysts have determined that more bitcoins entered exchanges this month than were withdrawn from them. Thus, the multi-month trend was broken. In March, when the cryptocurrency market experienced a sharp collapse, the balance of exchange wallets fell by 92,000 BTC. Glassnode characterized the observed phenomenon as "the largest and longest downtrend for BTC stock exchange balances in the history of cryptocurrency."
Initially, analysts viewed the withdrawal of bitcoins from exchanges as a bullish sign. According to popular belief, bitcoins are withdrawn for long-term storage in the personal wallets of investors convinced of the prospects of the cryptocurrency. Subsequently, Glassnode themselves doubted that this explanation could be the only one.
EToro analyst Simon Peters told Decrypt: "There is more and more talk about the 'altcoin season', so it is likely that bitcoins that were withdrawn from exchanges are now being brought back."
Quantum Economics analyst Pedro Febrero agreed: "It looks like traders are moving out of BTC to altcoins." He drew attention to the drop in the bitcoin dominance index from 64% to 61%. “It’s logical that bitcoins are starting to come to exchanges again, since most investors and traders use exchanges to switch from bitcoin to alts,” he added.
Binance Exchange Started Mailing Its Crypto Payment Card
In response to a question from a Twitter user who expressed a desire to get the card as soon as possible, Zhao wrote, "As far as I know, they've been sent out in limited numbers since yesterday."
According to the Binance website, eligible users in France and Spain will receive invitations to order the card in July and August. After successful submission of the application, a virtual card will be issued for the user, which will remain active until the material is activated.
