Epic Surge Adds 10% ($25bn.) To Crypto Market Overnight

An epic surge is in the headlines of many best cryptocurrency news sites, adding more than $25 billion to the crypto market overnight as more traders and investors are active and going in again. Bitcoin is in the pole position after nearly touching the $9,000 mark, but other coins are also participating in the massive increase.
All of this managed to send BTC to 12 months high and the total market capitalization has also reached a new 2019 and ten month peak. The epic surge was well accepted in the altcoin news too, especially because altcoins were triggered by BTC’s correction.
Currently trading at above $8,700, it is clear that Bitcoin is on a roll and the main coin which is leading the epic surge. The analysts are now predicting a move to the mid $9,000 because of the strong momentum – and a potential bullish rally to $10,000 which is going to be greatly appreciated by many.
Ethereum, on the other hand, enjoyed the epic surge with a 7% added to its price, making it reach $270 before slightly dropping back. However, the daily ETH volume is back over $10 billion which is definitely good for sending the second largest crypto asset in the world up to $300 in no time.
The latest cryptocurrency news show that the top ten is a wall of green as the altcoins are making moves and recording big gains today. Litecoin is the altcoin that leads the epic surge in this space, adding 11% to its price and reaching $114 which is its highest price since June 2018. As the stats show, Bitcoin Cash and EOS are also strong with over 9% each, reaching $439 and $6.92 respectively.
Justin Sun was also featured in the coming altcoin news, sharing his excitement for TRON and BitTorrent. As the founder of TRON stated:
Something huge and amazing going about #TRON and #BitTorrent. I will share with you after June 1. I think I have 70% to win and nail it. Fingers crossed! $TRX $BTT”
The FOMO (fear of missing out) is high after the epic surge which resulted in a lot of gains. When markets are on fire like they are now, it is very possible that the rally will continue, analysts claim.

Lisk Laid Off 21 Employees While Staff Experts Quit The Company

‘’Today, at Lightcurve, we laid off 21 of our employees and terminated the contracts of three employees who were yet to join. This concludes the recent wave of terminations you may have observed. We are now ready to go completely dedicated into 2020 with a solid team of 31 individuals on the Lightcurve side.’’The Redditors noted that most of the layoffs were a sign of problems within the project. Lisk laid off 21 employees and lost most of its delegates so now the promising network is seen as a failed project. Lisk was also supposed to become a network to compete with Ethereum but it based its smart contract and dApp functionalities on JavaScript. However, about 100 delegates of Lisk turned the network into an oligarchy and used their coins to solidify their positions. The market price of the project is also precarious despite the major expectations of the price reaching triple-digit prices to rival ETH. The LSK asset reached $32 in early 2018 but now it trades at only $0.64.Lisk made a lot of noise with its rebranding in 2017 and launched a wallet as well. However, the platform didn’t take off quite as expected and got tossed aside by the new platforms with better operations. Now the project is no longer among the top dApp or smart contract platforms. The startup still continues to operate and burn the haul of its BTC coins from the token sale. Lisk had the advantage of raising about $6 million and is now holding sufficient BTC and other assets in the long run.

Syrian Refugee Is Teaching Cryptocurrency Basics In A Camp In Iraq

“People really need to know all the things about the internet and their phones and laptops,” the Syrian refugee claims. “We are in an advanced world and we should learn."Aldeen now owns a small amount of Ether (ETH) which he said he earned through a local education program run by the nonprofit Hello Future. However, as he claimed in the ETH news, his possessions are too little to spend so he is eager to earn more.As we could see from the Hello Future founder Charlie Grosso, most of the students in Aldeen's class think of mobile devices and computers in the same way like old-school Nintendos. They know that they could play games on them but are unfamiliar with Internet or access to global networks.
“The idea of searching to verify information is unknown to them,” she said. “They just don’t have that framework.”The Syrian refugee is obviously looking to change this and teach them everything about cryptocurrency and the latest crypto news. Even though the learning curve is steep for people in this camp, Grosso is confident that all 44 teens who took her computer literacy class quickly grasped the concept of stateless digital money.
“Two years ago, I got my first phone. Now everyone in my family has a smartphone,” Aldeen said. “I like games like Minecraft because I can build things, design things and improve my English.”The Syrian refugee also stated that cryptocurrency "might be good for saving money because if you put your money inside a bank, the bank might steal it."

“The primary objective of the e-krona pilot project is to broaden the bank’s understanding of the technological possibilities for the e-krona.”The cash usage has already started declining in Sweden which is why Sweden plans to launch a crypto version of its national krona. The central bank of the country is now working on this plane since 2017. The Accenture partnership will involve the development of the payment platform with the user interface that will enable the e-krona transactions from cards and smartphones. There has also been no confirmation from the bank that the crypto krona will see any actual use but it is highly likely because of the given circumstances.The industry observer Rhythm Trader linked crypto to the space race of our generation and it still maintained that bitcoin was the king of all crypto. Sweden has been extremely proactive towards the crypto assets than other regional countries and earlier this week the Swedish Financial supervisory Authority approved the Swiss crypto ETP provider Amun. According to the announcements, Amun is the first issuer that will deliver fully collateralized and passive investment products with cryptocurrencies as the base asset. The president of Amun Ms. Ophelia Snyder added:

We recognize that the regulatory framework in Sweden has been supportive of such initiatives and we welcome its deliberation.”The company wants to expand in the future especially its product offerings of crypto-asset Exchange-traded products into EU countries. Sweden is also one of the latest countries with a growing list of central banks engaging in CBDC research and development.
