Tornado Cash, the Ethereum-based non-custodial open source software project, has been sanctioned by the United States’ Treasury department.

The sanctions announced on Monday stop people in the US, and anyone subject to US jurisdiction, from using the cryptocurrency mixer.

All property, as well as interests in property, of Tornado Cash in the US or held by US persons are blocked and must be reported to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

The crypto tool enables users to mix their coins using its smart contract, obscuring the prior trail of coins exchanged over a transparent ledger. 

[The sanction](https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/recent-actions/20220808) relates to the smart contract protocol. These actions have created a bad precedent for open-source software development. 

Following the US Treasury's announcement, it was discovered that Circle, the centralised issuer of stablecoin USDC, has also blocked [every sanctioned address](/news/article/crypto-russia) from using USDC. 

As tracked by internet readers, the number of [black-listed](https://dune.com/phabc/usdc-banned-addresses) USDC addresses now stands at 81.

These activities have prompted many to doubt the security of storing digital assets in a centralised location, even for non-criminals who want to employ privacy-enhancing techniques.

## Tornado Cash Co-creator's Github Account Suspended

Roman Semenov, the co-creator of Tornado Cash, had his GitHub (open source development repository) account disabled. He responded by questioning whether it is now illegal to create open-source code.

Considering the nature of the restrictions imposed this could disturb freedom-loving crypto fanatics. 
These activities also offer various tools in the so-called DeFi space which rely on centralised stablecoins and may have centralised development choke points.

As painful as it may seem, Bitcoin's spontaneous and decentralised nature is a reason why such open-source software exists today.

Open-source software will continue to function as intended, but with increased pressure on software/wallet/protocol developers, only the strongest and most truly decentralised networks will remain.

When considering the long-term case for Bitcoin, one of its most compelling value propositions is that it is an asset with no counterparty risk or dilution (devaluation) risk.
 



Tornado Cash Sanctioned by US Treasury

Step 1: Open an exchange account: Sign up for a crypto exchange account to begin the conversion from GBP to MANA. Then, to validate the user's account, submit a copy of the investor's ID and fill in the necessary know your client (KYC) information. 

Step 2: Deposit: Fund your account with GBP. Please note some exchanges have minimum requirements, for example eToro  requires customers to deposit $10 (£8.25). 

Step 3: Look for the [Decentraland](/news/article/how-to-invest-in-metaverse) token (MANA)- go to the relevant investment page, search for 'Decentraland'. Go to the web page and click on 'Trade.'

Step 4: Obtain the Decentraland Token: Finally, inform the exchange how much money the you wish to invest in Decentraland, beginning with $10 (£8.25). Click 'Open Trade' to confirm. 

## Purchase mana with a credit or debit card

Credit/Debit cards are the two standard payment options for buying mana. The broker will not charge investors any deposit fees, but the investors' card issuer may charge them a small transaction facilitation fee. 

An investment of at least $200 (£165) and up to $40,000 (£33,000) to get started. It is also good to exchange gbp for US dollars before investors deposit. The minimum trading amount when purchasing on eToro is $25 (£20.62).

##Buy MANA with GBP using Paypal

Decentraland may be acquired using [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/gh/home) on cryptocurrency trading sites such as eToro. 

The trade limit for purchasing with PayPal on eToro is $25, as it is for the other payment methods. PayPal allows users to deposit as little as $200 and as much as $10,000 into the brokerage. It would be advantageous if users additionally made USD deposits to avoid being charged a 2% currency conversion fee.

## Buy MANA without ID Verification

Due to increased calls for crypto regulation worldwide, most crypto exchanges and brokerages will not enable users to purchase tokens anonymously. 

However, a few that enable investors to obtain Decentraland tokens (MANA) without ID verification will keep trade restrictions to a minimum. The maximum deposit into an unconfirmed eToro account is $2250.

## Harsh truth about crypto day trading

Based on various [studies](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/20/attention-robinhood-power-users-most-day-traders-lose-money.html):

•	40% of day traders trade for only are active for one month

•	In the first two years, 80% of all day traders quit

•	Only 13% continue to day trade after three years. After five years, just 7% remain

•	Individual investors underperform market indexes by 1.5% per year on average; active traders underperform by 6.5% per year

## What is random reinforcement within crypto day trading?

The term "random reinforcement" refers to the use of arbitrary events to qualify (or disqualify) a hypothesis or idea; attributing skill or lack of skill to an unsystematic outcome; and gaining support for positive or negative behaviours from products that are inconsistent, such as the financial markets. 

The market tends to reward poor habits with a limited sample size while penalising favourable behaviours. 

Some amateur traders made money by investing in random [altcoins](https://news.monitalks.io/news/article/xhd-coin-explained) and selling for large, quick returns. In the 2017 crypto market, everyone was a "genius." Then, in 2018, the bubble burst, and inexperienced traders with leverage on their margin could not deal with the drawdown resulting in their account being liquidated. They did not sell their assets and kept holding them until they lost everything.

Many retail investors involved in crypto day trading overheard "big names" on social media discussing an altcoin, leading them to examine the chart and notice that the price is rapidly increasing. They start to buy and sell for a quick profit after a few successful trades, amateur traders begin to believe that they are skilled traders.

Retail traders involved in crypto trading often begin to believe that a favourable outcome on a few random trades indicates success in the future. However, in hindsight, the market rewarded their poor behaviour. However, as they continued to trade impulsively, they eventually lost their capital, as was the case in the 2018 crypto day trading crash.

On the other hand, some retail investors involved in crypto trading spent several months developing a trading plan with risk management, proper portfolio allocations and trading rules. 

However, as they continued losing several times in a row, they began doubting their system. Amateur traders then began to places high-risk trades that breach their strategies rules and succeeded a few times, putting the retail trader back to square one, trading without a strategy because the market has rewarded their bad behaviour.

This is how stock trading can sometimes be compared to gambling.

Crypto day trading loses more money than HODLing

According to a Nomad crypto statement, anyone who returns at least 90% of stolen tokens would be considered a white-hat hacker who tries to expose weaknesses rather than making harmful profits. The remaining 10% would essentially become the incentive. 

“We will not pursue white hats”, stated the firm's chief executive officer. He added that they will continue collaborating with their partners, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement to pursue all such bad actors to the greatest degree permitted by law.

What caused the nomad crypto hack 

Nomad  put up a recovery wallet address to persuade the "white hat hackers who have been keeping ETH/ERC-20 tokens to restore the stolen digital assets. The wallet came into existence following a collaboration with the custodian bank Anchorage Digital. Currently, $19.4 million (roughly 10%) of that crypto is back with the protocol. Nomad has already resorted to Twitter to express gratitude to some donors. 

According to 1KX Research, the breach [occurred due to a mistake](https://blockworks.co/after-latest-crypto-bridge-hack-industry-participants-call-for-tightened-security/) in the code. Developers unintentionally activated a code setting that automatically validated any transaction script provided to the protocol as long as it contained a "root" of “0x00."

## What is Nomad?

Nomad is a bridge protocol which allows tokens to be transferred across blockchains to make diverse networks compatible. Bridges have become one of the crypto sector's weak areas following multiple attacks, with an estimated $2 billion in tokens stolen from them in 2022, according to consultancy Chainanalysis. 

Based on data from Etherscan, a tool used for analysing the Ethereum blockchain, and the bridge provider's calculations, Nomad has recovered around US$20 million of the US$190 million. Nomad says it worked with forensics specialist TRM Labs and law enforcement to identify hackers. 

Shortly after, the attack on nomad crypto emerged earlier this week. The crypto industry suffered another blow when hackers targeted the [Solana ecosystem](/news/article/solana-wallet) on Wednesday, 3rd August 2022, which affected thousands of wallets. 




Nomad offers 10% bounty of crypto $190 million hack

After the algorithmic stablecoin, Terra lost its peg to the US dollar, this was accompanied by a bank run that rendered $40 billion in tokens almost worthless. Crypto collateral valuable enough to cover loans one day became highly undervalued or illiquid, casting uncertainty on the fortunes of seemingly invincible hedge funds and other high-profile lenders.

## What led to the crypto market crashing?

The seeds that spawned the crypto market crashing — greed, excessive leverage, and a delusional belief in price going up — are not new. They were there when almost every other asset bubble burst. However, crypto is a new and highly unregulated market, with boundaries blurred and failsafe weakened by the notion that everyone engaged can get wealthy together. 
Leveraged trades rely on borrowing, increasing the risks and profits. There are an estimated 1,900 crypto hedge funds, and the majority appear to utilize leverage to trade at bigger volumes with collateral that may not meet requirements of centralized financial regulation.

## Analysis of crypto market crashing

In a December study, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) highlighted the implications of decentralised financing's high leverage. The BIS noted that when debt decreases due to investment losses or depreciating collateral, investors are obliged to liquidate assets, exerting further downward pressure on prices. Crypto has had multiple large dips in its history, dubbed "crypto winters" by the community and a bear market by the rest of the financial industry. Still, the sector's expansion and increased acceptance from Main Street to Wall Street means more is at stake today.

Its expansion has further amplified the impact of this year's turbulence: After the expiration of the crypto market crashing in 2020, the industry peaked at $3 trillion in total assets last November before plummeting to less than $1 trillion. 

If [Terra](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/30/terra-2point0-new-luna-cryptocurrency-is-already-crashing.html) led to this crypto market crashing and was the equivalent to Bear Stearns in the 2008 financial crisis, many believe that the Lehman Brothers moment is just around the corner. The failure of lenders to make margin calls was an early warning flag in the 2008 financial crisis, and crypto has experienced its counterpart this month: Celsius Network, Babel Finance, and Three Arrows Capital all disclosed severe issues when digital-asset values fell, causing a liquidity crunch that ultimately comes from the industry's interdependence.

Consumer confidence and perception of bad actors had a role in the crypto market crashing and the financial crisis, but what is occurring now is money flowing out of deployed, working systems due to over-leverage and irresponsible risk-taking." 

Leverage allows investors to generate more returns with less investment during bull markets, but when the market falls, such positions swiftly unravel. Also, in crypto, such bets frequently include more than one type of asset, increasing the likelihood of a crypto market meltdown.

## How Celsius contributed to the crypto market crashing

Over the last several weeks, a crypto news site has received many complaints from Celsius users. Some are concerned about losing their houses after being liquidated on millions of dollars of loans secured by the company's cratering CEL token. Celsius has been leveraging client assets to pay out 17 % APY utilising a variety of DeFi protocols, including Terra's Anchor and Ethereum mainstays Lido and Curve. 

Given the danger of accepting crypto loans, particularly those via decentralised finance applications that do not use intermediaries like banks, sometimes ask borrowers to put up more collateral than the loan is worth.

[Celsius](/news/article/celsius-bankruptcy-protection) began lending to human traders two years ago, managing risk by requiring collateral from these borrowers. Celsius leased financial assets to players that can profit from arbitrage, market making, or shorting specific equities or digital assets." 

However, as market values fell, it led to the crypto market crashing. After Celsius started lending in the DeFi space, exposing borrowers to risky market fluctuations, whereas lending to a creditworthy institutional borrower is entirely different. The danger is not the same as relying on cryptocurrency market prices to remain stable or increase."

Loans that were previously over collateralised are now in danger of liquidation. This process is automated in DeFi, worsened by the increase of traders and bots looking for methods to make quick profits. 

## Views of Finance Professor on crypto market crashing

According to a finance professor, John Griffin at the University of Texas at Austin, the spike in cryptocurrency prices last year was fueled by leveraged speculation, possibly even more so since the previous crypto market crashing. A low-interest-rate environment and ultra-accommodative monetary policy helped set the scene.

With interest rates increasing and a lack of trust in leveraged platforms, the deleveraging cycle had the impact of unwinding these prices far faster than they grew, the finance professor added. Though traditional markets frequently rely on a slow and constant level of leverage to expand, the effect appears to magnify in crypto due to the concentration of speculation in the industry.

Regulators are watching the industry, looking for indications of instability that might jeopardise their fledgling ambitions to regulate cryptocurrency. Even laws proposed in the spring have changed in the aftermath of Terra's collapse, with some countries considering measures to mitigate the systemic impact of failing stablecoin systems. 

He added that while there may be occasional bull rallies, he does not see the cycle reversing soon. He said that when the Nasdaq bubble burst, analysis indicated that wise investors were among the first to exit and sell when prices fell, whereas retail investors bought up and lost money. 

Digital assets were the domain of affluent retail investors and a small handful of crypto-focused firms. Now, the industry has developed a greater appeal to pump-and-dump investors and hedge fund giants, prompting authorities to routinely intervene with comments warning consumers of the risks of trading such products.

After witnessing the crypto market crashing many times and broad acceptance, most investors now see crypto as another asset class and treat it like the rest of their portfolio. As a result, cryptocurrency values correlate with other asset classes, such as technology stocks. 

The crypto market's experimental and speculative characteristic exacerbated the meltdown, knocking out small retail traders who put their life savings into unregulated projects like Terra which have no track record. Furthermore, the industry is overhyped by new generations of crypto cult members using social platforms like Twitter and Reddit. Exchanges have also contributed, with FTX, Binance, and Crypto.com investing in marketing and high-profile sponsorships.




Crypto market crashing due to deleveraging

The Ripple Coin developers have a long-term incentive strategy in place. The system is moving from the Proof of Capacity (PoC) consensus to Conditional Proof of Capacity (CPoC).

However, things are different in PoC. The process begins by storing a list of probable solutions on the hard drive of the mining device, which occurs before the start of mining. As a result, during the execution phase, the miner only retrieves the right solution.

The more hard drive space available, the more possible solutions may be stored. As a result, the greater the odds of successfully mining a block.

The mining method is resistant to Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). As a result, it may mine a coin using a simple desktop computer, corresponding to Satoshi's concept for blockchains. He wanted everyone to be able to mine from any computer they possessed.

It significantly increases transaction times and mining efficiency. They are implying that miners can validate transactions more quickly. Furthermore, [XRPHD](https://www.coinspeaker.com/ieo/xrphd/) creators claim that XHD coin mining is fair as there is no monopoly. Everyone is welcome to participate. In addition, the blockchain employs the Shabal encryption algorithm. The commonly used  Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) algorithm,  is a rather heavy and sluggish encryption technique compared to Ripple Coins according to the developers. 

Additionally, the developers anticipate that XRPHD will be able to facilitate cross-chain transfers, as the PoC consensus might generate more symbiotic sub-chains.

XHD coins power the XRPHD blockchain. Based on my [research](https://miningwatchdog.com/mining/xhd/main),  XHD coin has poor market performance. No information about its market cap is available, which signifies that it is too low to be listed anywhere and that the XHD coin is not widely used. Furthermore, it suggests that the coin lacks liquidity. Also, not many merchants will accept XHD coins as payment.

## XRPHD Security: XHD Coin

The creators of XRPHD take security extremely seriously. They have excellent features in place to keep hackers out. First, the PoC consensus reduces the likelihood of 51% attacks to a low level; It is less expensive to mine for rewards using processing power.

Miners also play an essential part in ensuring security. Miners validate transactions on the blockchain in the same way that they do in other blockchains. These transactions are then recorded on the distributed ledger by the miners.

After buying coins, investors will want a wallet to keep them secure. For this reason, users can utilise the XRPHD proprietary wallet. The XHD coin is on the GoPax or [Bitfinex](https://www.bitfinex.com/) exchanges. It is compatible with Mac OS, Windows, and Linux. 

To conclude, even though this XHD coin offers a fantastic value proposition. However, in the market, this is never enough. It is not widely used, and its circulating supply is unclear. These are significant risks to be evaluated before investing.




XRPHD explained: XHD Coin

In the fall of 2021, the [cryptocurrency industry](/news/article/crypto-news-australia-regulation) hit a high market value of $3 trillion. Early crypto ETF UK investors benefited greatly from rapid growth. As a result, there is much excitement about discovering and investing in the next cryptocurrency startup.

If investors want indirect exposure to digital currency , [crypto ETF's](https://www.ft.com/content/7b219639-dccd-4a4b-ad37-b8701df22db6) are an excellent investment. Buying equity in firms with bitcoin exposure is a safer, perhaps less rewarding option.

## Here is a list of seven crypto ETF’s UK to consider for 2022:


### 1. Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF

The Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF is one of the largest funds focusing on the cryptocurrency and digital asset market, with $955 million in assets under management as of spring 2022. The fund's top assets include cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase Global and semiconductor manufacturer Nvidia, which produces GPUs and the hardware required for crypto mining. Although it does not directly invest in cryptocurrencies, it is a fantastic place to gain exposure to companies that hold and offer crypto currency services, as well as the “picks and shovels” of the industry.

### 2. Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund

The Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund is a monthly rebalanced fund that invests in the top ten cryptocurrencies (as determined by market cap). Since Bitcoin and Ethereum are the largest cryptocurrencies, they account for 61% and 29% of the underlying portfolio, respectively. As it trades over the counter, this fund can trade at a significant discount or premium to the underlying crypto values it holds, depending on share demand.

### 3. Siren Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF

Another fund focusing on firms developing and capitalizing on blockchain technology is the Siren Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF. Its emphasis has widened to include more general technology companies with a crypto or blockchain segments; It also includes shares of traditional lenders and digital payment networks that have begun to dabble in cryptocurrency.

### 4. First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF

Another large crypto exchange traded fund is the First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF. The portfolio has 103 stocks, making it the most diverse cryptocurrency ETF. First Trust is also a significant and well-established organisation that has built a wide range of investment products, which may satisfy those investors concerned about track record and fund manager reputation. It offers broad exposure to the crypto area and several multinational IT businesses.


### 5. Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF

The Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF debuted in May 2021, making it a latecomer to the crypto fund scene. This fund's underlying equities include several Bitcoin miners and owners. It only has 30 equities, concentrating on inventors and crypto pioneers.

### 6. Global X Blockchain ETF

The Global X Blockchain ETF argues that blockchain technology serves purposes other than cryptocurrency. It makes appropriate investments in 25 tech and Bitcoin mining firms leading the charge in cryptocurrency and underlying blockchain technology.

### 7. Global X Blockchain & Bitcoin Strategy ETF

The Global X Blockchain & Bitcoin Strategy ETF, which began in November 2021, is closely related to the Global X Blockchain fund, which accounts for about half of the underlying holdings. The new ETF investment, however, differs in that the other half of the portfolio invests in Bitcoin futures. Bitcoin futures are a method of simulating the daily fluctuations in the value of an asset, in this instance, Bitcoin. 

Cryptocurrencies are still a relatively new asset class, and ETFs dedicated to them are even more so. Investors should expect much volatility in cryptos and the firms focused on their growth, as with any emerging asset class.

If Investors feel that cryptocurrency usage will grow in popularity over time, they should acquire some crypto directly as part of a diversified portfolio. However, there should be an investment thesis for each cryptocurrency invested. 

The views of the article is that of the author and is not to be interpreted as financial advice, rather as opinion.

## Quant Price in 2022

The token has fallen in 2022, starting at $174.8. The continuous fall drove the quant price to its quarterly lows of $88.1 on January 27th. After recovering from a downturn, the token regained its hold at $154.7 on February 7th.

Fears about the Federal Reserve of the United States [reducing interest rates](https://www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/federal-reserve-tapering-asset-purchases.html) and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine caused another dip. As a result, support was at $112.3. Following a touchdown to the support, it increased to $147.7 at the end of the first quarter.

Like most players in the industry, it had a challenging second quarter. The [market-wide crash](/news/article/bitcoin-dip-over) caused the token to lose over 70% of its profits. However, it has been among the quickest to recover. The digital token has increased by more than 146% in less than a month.

As of July 25th, the current price is $93.14 in the first month of the third quarter. It has declined by 11.08 % in the last seven days. In the previous 24 hours, the quant price fell by 6.72 % and has increased by 0.09 % in the last hour. Currently, it is 78.26% behind its all-time high of $428.38.

In the fourth quarter, if initiatives yield the intended outcomes, coupled with an increase in social volumes from the rising user base. The token might reach a new high of $186.152. Negative feedback and the network failing to meet expectations would result in a quant price of $130.233. Considering the bullish and bearish predictions, the average price might be $154.949.


## Quant Price prediction for 2025

According to analysts, other revolutions in the field would be transitory, but the blockchain is here to stay. With regular buying and selling forces, the token would be worth $570.19 by the end of 2025. However, with significant improvements in interoperability, it would climb to $728.251. On the other hand, if there is regulatory compliance in the sector, it will fall to a minimum of $400.396.

Kraken exchange, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, is under federal investigation for allegedly breaching United States sanctions by enabling customers in Iran and beyond to purchase and sell digital tokens.

Kraken, an $11 billion private entity that allows customers to purchase, trade, or hold multiple cryptocurrencies, has previously faced [regulatory action](/news/article/us-sec-regulation). The Commodity Futures Trading Commission fined the corporation $1.25 million last year for unlawful trading services. 

The cryptocurrency firm would be the largest US crypto business to face OFAC enforcement action. Sanctions on Iran, enacted by the US in 1979, ban the export of goods or services to people or companies in the country.

As the market for digital currencies has risen, the federal government has progressively clamped down on crypto firms. Tether, a stablecoin corporation, was penalised by the CFTC last year for false representations regarding its reserves. Simultaneously, the Justice Department charged an ex-employee of Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, with [insider trading](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-21/ex-coinbase-manager-arrested-in-us-crypto-insider-trading-case) earlier this month.

## Lawsuit Accused Business in 2019

The Kraken exchange and the subject of sanctions came up in a November 2019 lawsuit filed by a former finance department employee who accused the business of earning money from accounts in sanctioned nations.

Jesse Powell, Kraken's exchange CEO, allegedly stated that he would contemplate breaching the law in various instances if the benefits to the firm exceeded the possible fines. 

However, it is believed Powell stated that the Kraken exchange regularly checks compliance with sanctions laws and, as a general rule, communicates to regulators even possible problems.  

That same year, OFAC began looking into the Kraken exchange, concentrating on the company's accounts in Iran. Sources alleged Kraken users had also created accounts in Syria and Cuba.

A lawyer from a renowned law firm that handles crypto regulations believes that as crypto moves without a bank or intermediaries, exchanges are liable for certain forms of financial regulatory compliance.

## Bitcoin escapes extreme fear on the index following a rise in sustainable mining

On July 19, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped from "extreme fear" to "fearful," scoring 30 out of 100. It has since risen somewhat to an index score of 31. The indicator is primarily calculated using market volatility, volume and dominance, social media sentiment, surveys, and search trend data.

According to Santiment, BTC's average funding rate on exchanges has reached its highest levels in the last two months as the price of BTC rises above $23,600, with five Fintech professionals at Finder and 53 industry experts predicting that BTC will [bottom out](/news/article/bitcoin-dip-over) at $13,676 before rising to $100,000 by 2025 and $300,000 by 2030.

## Sustainable mining bitcoin power hits 59.5%

According to reports, increased costs have driven increased [sustainable mining](/articles/our-news/sustainable-future), as indicated by a substantial rise in efficiency over the last eight years. As oil and gas energy prices increase and the cost of renewable technology decreases, it makes not only financial but environmental sense to engage in sustainable mining.  
Mining equipment demand has risen as prices rise, driving device innovation for cheaper alternatives. Efficient devices are more cost-effective and lucrative, pushing less profitable alternatives out of the market.

As per the Bitcoin Mining Councils BMC's Q2 review of the Bitcoin network, issued on Tuesday, the global Bitcoin mining industry's usage of sustainable mining energy is up 6% from Q2 2021 and 2% from Q1 2022,  [reaching 59.5%](https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/sustainable-bitcoin-mining-power-mix-hits-595-btc-mining-council-2849155) in the latest quarter, making it one of the most sustainable sectors globally. The council saw a rise in miners' energy mix correlated with an efficiency improvement. It was also discovered that Bitcoin mining accounted for just 0.09 % of the projected 34.8 billion metric tonnes of carbon emissions produced globally and required only 0.15 % of the global energy supply.

United States legislators are particularly interested in the condition of the country's Bitcoin mining energy use after they issued a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Energy Department, requesting that mining businesses report on their emissions and energy use.


Sustainable mining of Bitcoin rises to 59.5%

The tokenization of real estate is based on blockchain technology and represented as whole or fractionalized shares of the asset known as digital tokens. Contractual specifics come into play as what is known as "smart contracts." When pre-defined contract conditions meet, the algorithm encoded in the digital contract activates the code-specified events—for example, a transaction or transfer in the land registry without the need for human interaction. Following proper action validation, there are new productions of blocks and additions to the current blockchain.

Tokenized real estate investments, consisting of residential, commercial and industrial property  are areas of opportunity. As tangible assets safeguard tokens, their value will change by the asset's performance, much like real estate investments. However, blockchain technology adds convenience, notably the safe and frictionless storage and transmission of cryptographic tokens. 

Tokenized real estate has the potential to make those priced out of real estate investing accessible to the market by making it more reasonable. 

After an investment in tokenized real estate, investors earn a percentage of rental payments in proportion to their initial investment on a daily or weekly basis. Payments are in stablecoins or the platform's native money.

Tokenization allows investors to buy and sell digital assets without closing expenses, significantly lowering transaction costs. As a result, efficiency improves due to matching cost and time savings. "Tokens" enable the replacement of traditional securities with blockchain technology. They may also transform tangible assets into "tokens," making them available to all investment groups. 

Tokenized real estate results in fractional and divisible ownership benefits.
Real estate value has always been indivisible since it is a single asset. Tokenization allows the asset to be fractionalized, resulting in improved access and liquidity of the investment. 

The worldwide property value is over $10.5 trillion, making this market one of the most significant in the world. However, only a portion of this is now available for public trade. Tokenization will most likely affect this in the upcoming years. 

## The benefits of tokenized real estate


### Affordably priced investment

The most obvious benefit is that the investor does not have to acquire the entire property; the investment amount is entirely customizable.

### Income from a Passive Source

One common criticism among real estate investors is that when they buy a property, they must also refurbish and maintain it, locate tenants, and collect rent. They often part ways with 30% of the property revenue as they employ a property manager. Which is a substantial sum of money, and tokenized ownership allows investors to reap the same benefits without needing property managers or dealing with real property expenses.

### Simpler Equity Release

To raise funds, several platforms allow investors to tokenize their property. Enabling investors to free up equity, obtain financing, buy another home, and expand their portfolio.

## The disadvantages of tokenized real estate


### Lower Returns

Rental payments will be a fraction of traditional rental payments. As investor fees are solely proportional to their initial investment, they will not receive a high payment if they do not have much capital.

### Fewer Opportunities

Several platforms offer tokenized real estate, with many offering the highest APY and opportunities. With so many options, property owners who want to list and unlock equity realize that their investor's options are limited.

### Regulatory Compliance

Although [web3](/news/article/solana-nft) eliminates intermediaries, compliance is required for the concept to scale. It would also be prudent for the platforms to be appropriately licensed to comply with local legislation.

Tokenization has excellent development potential, yet it remains elusive owing to its intrinsic complexity. The benefits vary from property fragmentation to liquidity security and the automation of property-specific operations such as title transfer or transaction execution.

Tokenization has the potential to revolutionize the way individuals invest in real estate globally entirely. To capitalize on that potential, Blockchain developers and their professional advisors must carefully assess and prepare for it.

Manchester City has announced cryptocurrency exchange [OKX](https://www.okx.com/) as their new training kit sponsor, extending its partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange platform. 

In a multi-million-pound deal, the club named its new partner as its first "official cryptocurrency exchange partner" earlier this year, and they have moved to strengthen their relationship this summer.

The Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange has agreed to become the official training kit sponsor of English Premier League champions Manchester City F.C. for the 2022-23 season. The deal, worth more than $20 million, was first announced in March 2022, representing the exchange's first venture into the sports world. OKX branding will appear on both the men's and women's training kits of Manchester City. 

The agreement will bring in a "new era of disruptive fan engagement and web3-based experiences," according to the company's official blog post, with the players participating in OKX's crypto education initiatives. OKX has also commissioned street artist Akse P19 and Global Street Art Agency to create artworks featuring players.

## Aim of the Manchester City Deal

By the new agreement, OKX intends to revamp the "fan experience", providing cryptocurrency tips for trading responsibly and curating programmes to benefit the Manchester community. 

Manchester City's group chief operating officer, Roel de Vries, added that cryptocurrency exchange and Man City share values such as innovation, training, and education. 

## Uncertainty Regarding the Manchester City Deal

There is still concern and uncertainty about football clubs partnering with cryptocurrency firms like OKX, given that the sector is still, to a large extent, unregulated and their markets have been significantly declining this year. Manchester City, in the past, had to quickly terminate a deal with previous Russian-based partners MarathonBet on the front of the training kit due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with MarathonBet initially replacing Expo 2020 Dubai on the front of the training kit.

In a June 30 blog post, cyber intelligence firm Cyble stated that it has been watching the crypto malware known as "[PennyWise](https://pennywisecrypto.com/)," named after the monster in Stephen King's horror novel "It," and initially discovered in May. Cyber added that their investigation indicates that the stealer is an emerging threat. 

Data obtained from the victim's Computer include Chromium and Mozilla browser information, Bitcoin extension data and login information. It can also grab screenshots and take over chat sessions from apps like Discord and Telegram. 

The crypto malware PennyWise also targets cold crypto-wallets such as Armory, Bytecoin, Jaxx, Exodus, Electrum, Atomic Wallet, Guarda, and Coinomi, as well as wallets supporting Zcash and Ethereum by searching in the directory for wallet files and sending a copy of the files to attackers. 

The cybersecurity firm added that the PennyWise infultrates via YouTube mining education videos that offer viewers to download free Bitcoin mining software. The fraudsters create videos in which they advise viewers to follow the link in the description and download the free BTC mining software while also pushing them to disable their antivirus software, enabling the malware to operate successfully. 

According to Cyble, the attacker had 80 videos on their YouTube account as of June 30. However, the channel has since ceased to exist. Similar connections to the crypto malware PennyWise are still on some YouTube channels, with videos offering free NFT mining, cracks on paid software, free Spotify premium, and game hacks and modifications. Many of these accounts came to light in the last 24 hours.


## Who are behind these cyber-attacks?

Chainanalysis recently revealed that "low-skilled hackers" are deploying malware to steal assets from cryptocurrency holders, with crypto-hacking accounting for 73% of the total value acquired by malware-related addresses between 2017 and 2021.

The [Online Blockchain share price](https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/OBC/online-blockchain-plc/company-page) has continued to tumble. However, a new digital currency offering may lead to a turnaround.

Online Blockchain plc and its subsidiaries operate as a blockchain corporation in the United Kingdom. The business is divided into two segments: faucet subscription and management services.

It also serves as an incubator and investor in technological firms, such as internet and information enterprises, blockchain developers, administrators, and custodians. In December 2017, the firm changed its name from On-line plc to Online Blockchain plc.

It is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and is incorporated and located in the UK.

Online Blockchain has been working on systems to facilitate the adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies across various applications for some time.

Its first foray into the future was PlusOne, a media token that connects to the hub of an online community. PlusOneCoin provides an online community with the potential to reward members and promote content.

## Share Price

The company's shares are traded on AIM (LSE: ONL). There are currently 14,311,709 shares in issue, with zero being held by the Treasury and 3,059,350 of the securities not in public hands. Major shareholders include CH Chambers, who has 1,529,364 shares, accounting for 10.7% of the holdings. MJ Hodges currently holds 1,365,500 shares, which is 9.5%. Currently, there are no limits on the transfer of securities.

Since its incorporation on 19 December 2017, the Online Blockchain value has been in a downward trend, falling from 139.00p to 19.00p in just under five years.

The Online Blockchain price reached a bottom of 7.00p in mid-2019. It rose again to as high as 100.00p before dropping back to 41.0p.

The share price then stayed in a range between 33.00p and 50.00p. This was before the Online Blockchain share price broke out to trade at 60.00p before falling back to 29.00p. In recent weeks it has been trading between 26.50p and 45.50p in a downward trend, before dropping below 24.50p to its current Online Blockchain share price of 19.00p

In May, Online Blockchain stated that its 'Brazio' cryptocurrency has reached another "important" milestone. The AIM-listed business revealed that Brazio, characterized as a listed safe digital money for Brazilian residents, saw its first 'halving' on 13 May.

It stated that halving is a cryptocurrency event in which the creation of new currencies is halved, implying that Brazilian 'miners' will see their block reward lowered from 200 coins to 100 coins.

There are now 83 million Brazio coins in circulation, with a total allotment of 210 million. According to Online Blockchain, the decreased supply, along with the previously stated high demand, is predicted to be a favourable indication for the Online Blockchain share price.

The Proof-of-Work currency, developed for unbanked Brazilians, with an average daily volume of 250,000 on SouthXchange and roughly 3,000 claims per day on cryptocurrency exchange FreeFaucet.

According to Online Blockchain, Brazio's mining distribution was designed for common PCs rather than specialized mining gear, unlike other cryptocurrencies.

According to the board, the next halving is projected in around two years.

"This is a watershed moment for Brazil, and we are encouraged by both the currency's development and appeal," said Clem Chambers, chief executive officer.

Brazio's security, swift transactions, and independent governance make it an appealing solution in Latin America, where cryptocurrency use is rising.

Perhaps the current announcement will cause the Online Blockchain share price to return to its highs of 139.00p, but according to technical analysis, the slump is continuing, and prices are approaching zero. Time will tell if this is a positive announcement for the Online Blockchain share price.

Online Blockchain Share Price Continues to Tumble

As of today, the [Hashtrust](https://hashtrust.io/) token price is $0.00000407.

However, Hashtrust’s last market cap, 24-hour volume, and market cap rank are unknown.

The Hashtrust token price had an all-time high of $0.00332 four months ago. Over the last day, Hashtrust token price has had 0% transparent volume and has been trading on two active markets.

Since the 6 April 2021, Hashtrust token price has increased from $0.00000183 to $0.00008523, hitting lows of the $0.00000001.

Hashtrust is the first project aiming to develop a fully decentralised cloud mining by producing HTX and ERC20 tokens that store hashing power and expand over time, with 1 billion HTX tokens distributed on the Ethereum network.

Hashtrust is an ICO, but it is also a fully functional mining site. The purpose of the ICO is to raise enough funds to create a smart contract that will do what the site is doing now, but in a decentralised way. That means contracts and mining will be doing their work in the blockchain and cannot be modified by the creator or anyone else.

It is reported that 1,000,000,000 HTX are available; once mining is completed, you will only be able to buy/sell tokens.

A Hashtrust founder explained he enjoys the joy of cloud mining while owning a tiny farm and said there is delight in using the web interface to interact with your miner and watching numbers climb. However, that was felt to be unsafe and open to fraud, so he decided to create something better. This 'fun' little project could be the future of cloud mining, forcing the big mining companies to go decentralised.

One investor noted that many ICOs and airdrops he had previously participated in were useless since some airdrops are extremely unclear and others are completely worthless. However, Hashtrust is one of the tokens he believes he has successfully earned. He may now formally withdraw and trade. He said that the only difficult aspect is earning this token when you first start, as the daily faucet is just 25 HTX per day.

You have a few alternatives for increasing your earnings. One way is to download the Brave browser. Then you'll be able to receive 1,000 HTX and your profits will accelerate. Even though this mining is manual, you just require one minute of your time each day.
