The Most Important Daily
Data for Digital Assets

Daily Analysis from FSInsightJuly 16, 2021
  • Bitcoin and Ethereum are flat over the prior 24 hours as they trade at $31,800 and $1,900, respectively, at the time of writing. We continue to observe low trading volumes coupled with net outflows from exchanges.
  • Following the announcement of Square's open-sourced Bitcoin hardware wallet earlier this week, Jack Dorsey stated on Thursday that the payments giant is working on "an open developer platform" focused on bitcoin-linked financial services. Dorsey has long advocated for BTC to become the native internet currency and, although he serves as CEO of two large tech companies, he has gone on record saying that "I don't think there is anything more important in my lifetime to work on," as it relates to Bitcoin development.
  • This morning, Binance announced that it is ceasing the trading of stock tokens on its platform. This news preempted the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's (SFC's) warning that stated Binance is unlicensed and therefore not permitted to conduct "regulated activity" in the city, specifically as it relates to tokenized stock. Stock tokens (or tokenized stock) are blockchain-based shares of publicly traded companies. The tokens are backed 1:1 with shares of each respective company, but offer fractionalization and 24-hour market access to investors.

The broader altcoin market is experiencing even more pronounced declines, with very few names posting a green candle today.
