Brian Kelly Calls Bitcoin and Crypto Bottom, Plus Ripple and XRP, Ethereum, Tron, Litecoin, Stellar: Crypto News Flash

by Daily Hodl Staff
March 7, 2019
in Altcoins

From a potential end to the long crypto winter to escalating drama between XRP users and Coinbase, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.

Bitcoin

Brian Kelly, the founder and CEO of crypto investment firm BKCM, says he now firmly believes the long Bitcoin and crypto winter is starting to thaw. On CNBC’s Fast Money, Kelly said Bitcoin’s fundamentals are strong and institutional investments are on the rise.

“I think we’re looking at the thaw here. It’s the crypto thaw – we had the crypto winter. When you look under the hood of what’s going on with crypto, we’re actually seeing some improving fundamentals. And the one stat I will give you – if you look at the number of addresses that have been created on the Bitcoin network, that’s up about 20% from the January lows. It’s at highs, at the levels we saw in spring of 2018 when Bitcoin was well above $6,000. So fundamentally, you’re starting to see improvement.

You’re also starting to see some institutional interest. Some high-profile investors, endowments, have been dipping their toe into the space. Add in that, you’re talking about Fidelity coming out with custody this week. And Jack [Dorsey], he understands the payment network. And there’s a part of the Bitcoin network called the Lightning Network that he has said it’s only a matter of time, not if but when, that Lightning Network comes to the Square app. That Lightning Network allows you to transact very easily at stores, and that again could be another catalyst for it.”

Ethereum

The Ethereum-focused hedge fund Paradigm has released its update on Ethereum. The new post covers the aftermath of the Constantinople upgrade, core meetings, developer tools and more.

Ripple and XRP

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse just sat down for a fireside chat at the DC Blockchain Summit 2019 to talk about the company’s efforts to transform the world of cross-border payments.

“Blockchain has become catnip for investors. But the real use cases are finally emerging—improving payments is a key one.” – @bgarlinghouse in convo with @JillMalandrino at #DCBlockchain Summit 2019 pic.twitter.com/gphKEXuX5N

Meanwhile, a number of XRP users on Coinbase say the company is refusing to help customers who transfer XRP to the crypto exchange without including a destination tag.

Destination tags are a string of numbers that should be entered when sending XRP from one wallet to another, in order to ensure the funds are sent to the right address. If the sender does not include a tag, it can be difficult – but not impossible – to track the funds down. Coinbase says XRP sent to the exchange without a destination tag is “permanently lost,” however other exchanges are able to jump in and fix the issue without a fuss.

Now I'm getting frustrated. @coinbase: this is simply *not true*.
? "Coinbase is not able to recover […] is permanently lost" ??

The XRP most definitely *isn't lost*, it's in your hot wallet! And you're not "not able" to recover, you simply REFUSE TO. This is misleading. pic.twitter.com/s5a8G9zE7e

Stellar

Agricultural startup Bext360 says it will use Stellar. As reported by Forbes, the company is working to utilize blockchain technology to ensure authenticity of goods made out of organic cotton.

“The initiative, called the Organic Cotton Traceability Pilot, is a partnership between the C&A Foundation, the Organic Cotton Accelerator and Fashion For Good. It’s operating with support from fashion companies C&A, Zalando, PVH Corp and the Kering Group. The initiative began in December and is currently being used to trace organic cotton from farms to the gin where it’s processed for textile use.”

Tron

Malta-based OKEx just launched Tron on its peer-to-peer fiat-to-crypto platform. Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash and Tether are already listed.
