Google Cloud adds 11 blockchains to data warehouse ‘BigQuery’
In 2018, Google launched a Bitcoin data set as part of the service, and later that year, it added Ethereum as well. It continued to expand its blockchain coverage in February 2019, adding Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin and Zcash. The Sept. 21 announcement means that BigQuery now carries data from a total of 19 blockchain networks. In addition to adding these new blockchains, Google has also implemented a new feature intended to make blockchain queries easier to execu...
DeFi activity on the decline, but investment rolls in: Finance Redefined
The team behind Balancer, an Ethereum-based automated market maker, believes a social engineering attack on its DNS service provider led to its website’s front end being compromised on Sept. 19, leading to an estimated $238,000 in crypto stolen. “After investigation, it is clear that this was a social engineering attack on EuroDNS, the domain registrar used for .fi TLDs,” the firm explained in a Sept. 20 X (formerly Twitter) post. Approximately eight hours after the first warning of the attac...
How is DeFi margin trading getting safer with this cross-chain protocol?
Earlier this month, a project called Miss Universe Coin was announced at PBW. Donald Lim, the founder of the organization managing the PBW, said during the event that the PBW will “launch the Miss Universe Coin.” However, weeks after the announcement, the official organization behind Miss Universe denied any association with the coin project and called it a fraud. “There is currently no Miss Universe cryptocurrency or blockchain offering, and these products are in no way involved with the vot...

think it’s useful to look at how many solutions are leveraging Bitcoin security through timestamping — or even better, merged mining — because all of that value will be leveraged and, thus, fed back into Bitcoin. For example Syscoin, Namecoin and Dogecoin merge mine and add value to ancillary chains. Many overlook the external value being built by leveraging Bitcoin security. – Jagdeep Sidhu, Syscoin Foundation
Realized cap is an on-chain metric that shows the total sum of profits and losses from all on-chain sales and purchases. An increasing realized cap would mean new investors are buying and selling Bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency) for higher prices. This also means that the net sum of trades is in profits, and therefore, people are now bullish on Bitcoin. – Abhishek Singh, Acknoledger
Bitcoin halving should be considered by financial institutions because it can influence Bitcoin’s price through altered supply dynamics, potentially impacting miner profitability and network security. Halving can indicate broader mainstream adoption trends, present speculative opportunities and serve as a focal point for educational and marketing initiatives within the finance sector. – Irina Litchfield, Lumeria
As financial institutions explore cryptocurrencies, they should focus on a key Bitcoin blockchain measure: the hash rate. The hash rate measures the network’s strength and security by gauging its computational power. Keeping an eye on Bitcoin’s hash rate helps financial institutions assess the stability of the network and any investment risks linked to cryptocurrencies. – Vinita Rathi, Systango
In addition to the often-discussed “halving” of Bitcoin, financial institutions should also pay heed to the growth in the number of wallets holding large amounts of BTC. A wallet with a small amount of BTC could probably be assumed to be a retail investor, while wallets holding large amounts could potentially be “whales” or institutional holders. – Zain Jaffer, Zain Ventures
