Coinbase: Speculators are responsible for cryptocurrency market decline

Published

Analysts at Coinbase assure that long-term bitcoin holders hardly ever sell VTCs in the falling market.

Coinbase’s “Elusive Bottom,” a June report, said miners and companies forced to liquidate their positions to remain solvent amid a liquidity drain demonstrated: the industry is facing credit risks, not a crisis.

The number of bitcoin holders has dropped to 77%, although back in early 2022 the figure was 80%. The report also states that bitcoin has managed to show that it is a strong asset. The number of long-term holders was over 60%. This is even higher than at its peak in December 2017. The situation was not even affected by the high turbulence in the market. Coinbase says that centralized blockchain lenders (CeFi) increased their short-term debt at the peak of the bull trend.

“They were taking huge loans on DeFi protocols and shrinking capital to counterparties that were paying even higher interest rates. Some counterparties had duration mismatches and serious re-listing of assets on their books” provided to hedge funds and other entities,” the report said.

The report’s authors believe that the credit crunch was building up until a severe correction hit the market, reinforcing a kind of contagion effect that quickly spread through the market.

Compounding the ongoing credit crisis, listed miners, who had taken out huge loans secured against bitcoins or mining equipment during a bullish trend, were forced to sell their positions amid falling asset values. But since the top 28 publicly traded mining companies account for only 20% of Bitcoin’s hash rate, their sales don’t have a significant impact on trading volume.

Analysts at Glassnode argue that the massive drop in the market has led to a “flight of tourists and margin traders.” 

Hoarders continue to accumulate bitcoins, and the pace has increased significantly over the past month. Small holders, who hold no more than 1 BTC in their wallets, have purchased nearly 60,500 BTC in a month. And this is “the most aggressive pace in history.”

Activity in the Bitcoin network has decreased noticeably – in November there were more than 1 million active addresses daily; now the figure is about 870,000. At the same time, if you count exactly the market participants – companies and holders with multiple wallets – their number even reaches 244,000 per day.

The number of daily transactions, meanwhile, remains at about the same level. On the one hand, it speaks about the lack of demand from new market participants. On the other hand – it shows the intention of long-term investors to keep coins further.

[PRESS RELEASE – Hamburg, Germany, April 25th, 2024]

With the latest $4.6M Strategic Round led by Borderless Capital, NATIX is set to transform driver-led data collection and driver applications with innovative web3 incentives

NATIX Network, an AI-based platform that utilizes edge computing to collect real-time geospatial data, has successfully secured $4.6 million in a strategic funding round led by Borderless Capital and co-led by Tioga Capital, completing an aggregate funding of $9.6 million. Additional investors include Escape Velocity, Big Brain, WAGMI Ventures, Inception Capital, Laser Digital, IOTEX, Moonrock Capital, Cogitent, Room 40 ventures, Veris Ventures, Future Money Group, iAngles, Gracy Chen (Managing Director at Bitget), James Parillo (General Partner at Figment), Paul Taylor (Web3 Partner at Blackrock), Vijay Pravin Maharajan (CEO at bitsCrunch), and Crypto Banter.

Big tech companies have created centralized monopolies that limit access and hinder innovation in map data. By empowering individuals through Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs), NATIX is driving innovation in the geospatial analytics market projected to exceed $200B by 2033.

Highlighted as one of the fastest-growing DePINs globally in Messari’s state of DePIN 2023 report, NATIX has attracted in one year over 92,000 registered drivers who have covered more than 28 million kilometers. The user-friendly design of NATIX allows anyone with a smartphone to participate without requiring special hardware. The data collected by NATIX is invaluable for urban areas, mobility firms, and the autonomous driving industry, helping them optimize operations and effectively enhance infrastructure.

NATIX’s flagship product, “Drive&,” leverages smartphone cameras and driver assistant apps such as dashcams and navigation, combined with innovative incentive mechanisms and privacy-respecting computer vision AI, to crowdsource real-time data. NATIX is set to launch its native token on Solana in Q2 of 2024 to enable new monetization avenues for drivers and in-platform governance.

“It’s great to see NATIX gaining momentum, which reflects the strong market confidence in our vision. We are committed to accessibility, allowing anyone with a vehicle and smartphone to make meaningful contributions to their urban environment,” said Alireza Ghods, NATIX’s CEO and co-founder. “Looking ahead, collaborating with leading high-performance networks like Solana and Peaq is crucial for advancing our mission.”

“NATIX is emerging as a leader in commodity DePIN, establishing a benchmark for how incentivized models can effectively operate at scale,” said Alvaro Gracia, Partner at Borderless Capital. “We’re impressed by NATIX’s innovative use of smartphone cameras and AI-accelerated chips to build a network for crowdsourced geospatial data. Not only does it enhance scalability and simplify user onboarding, but makes it easier to provide users with significant rewards and perks, boosting engagement throughout. This lays the groundwork for future innovative models in the industry.”

NATIX plans to launch its native token $NATIX on Solana in Q2 of 2024, introducing new ways to earn and enhancing platform governance and infrastructure. This launch will offer drivers premium features like airdrops, staking for data validators, and greater involvement in governance. NATIX will also leverage Peaq, a Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for DePIN and machine RWAs (real-world assets). NATIX will use Peaq’s modular DePIN functions, multi-chain ID, and data verification, to enhance its architecture and solidify a prominent role in Peaq’s extensive DePIN ecosystem.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Ali and his team at NATIX. With its consumer-centric approach, we believe that NATIX is uniquely positioned to continue scaling the platform and build out valuable applications for its drivers and projects in need of high-quality geospatial data,” commented Nicolas Priem, General Partner at Tioga Capital.

Drivers can download the NATIX Drive& app from the App Store or Play Store to start mapping and earning rewards.

About NATIX: 

Founded in Hamburg in 2020, NATIX is a decentralized network of smart cameras. NATIX’s AI-powered app uses the phone’s camera to detect objects, collect real-time geospatial data, and map the world around us in a completely decentralized space – no additional hardware needed. NATIX’s solution leverages edge computing to analyze the data and ensure that no personal data is collected – by design. Network contributors are rewarded with NATIX’s native cryptocurrency, $NATIX, to support better driving-assistant applications (dashcam, navigation, parking availability, etc.) and improve the mapping infrastructure around us.
