Key Myths About XRP's AMMs Debunked by Anodos Co-Founder

Panos Mekras, co-founder of Anodos Finance, recently took to the X social media network to clear up the main misconceptions about the XRP Ledger's Automated Market Maker (AMM) feature. As noted by Merkas, providing liquidity should be seen as a separate income strategy, meaning that users do not have to add the XRP tokens that they intend to hold. "As a liquidity provider, you care about income and fees earned by the trading activity. It's better if you don't care if you end up with more on one side and less on the other. Total profit is what matters," he…

Are crypto exchanges whitewashing compliance with KYC bonuses?

Unlike banks, which require know-your-customer (KYC) information prior to opening an account, a significant number of crypto exchanges offer tether (USDT) bonuses for submitting KYC information like name, address, ID card, and contact information. To be clear, these KYC bonuses are not account opening bonuses. In many cases, crypto exchanges allow customers to open small accounts and trade without submitting any KYC information. Moreover, the tether bonus doesn’t require any bank-like task, such as signing up for direct deposit or holding a large initial balance. Rather, this tether bonus is simply for submitting a valid ID card. Therefore, although it’s…

Experts Share Their Predictions on What Will Happen to Bitcoin Price

Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies experienced a sharp decline yesterday, disrupting levels that have been consistent for most of this week. The upcoming Bitcoin halving event, which will reduce the token supply, is seen as an important trigger for cryptocurrencies. “Bitcoin seems to have seemingly lost direction,” said Yuya Hasegawa, an analyst at crypto exchange Bitbank. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the FED's future interest rate decision, Hasegawa believes Bitcoin has the potential to test $74,000 in the short term. The halving event, a scheduled change in Bitcoin's monetary policy scheduled for around April 20, will halve the issuance of new…

Mining through the halving: Survival strategies for 2024

Bitcoin’s 4th halving event is scheduled to occur on April 22nd, at event block height 840,000. As each block, containing executed transactions, is mined, it is stamped with a block height, noting how many blocks have been generated before the latest one. This way, block heights create a chronologically ordered digital ledger, granting Bitcoin its mantle of decentralized transparency and security against double-spending. This also makes it instrumental in imposing the embedded halving logic on the entire Bitcoin network, occurring every 210,000 blocks. Bitcoin halving is there as an algorithmic monetary policy. Unlike the arbitrary central banking, halving predictably controls…
