BTCUSD: $25k is inevitable?Lawmakers in the European Parliament have approved the world’s first comprehensive package of rules aimed at regulating the cryptocurrency industry. A step ahead of the U.S.
The demise of terraUSD caused a chain reaction in the industry, with various other firms, including Three Arrows Capital, BlockFi and Voyager Digital going bust as well. FTX, formerly the fourth-largest crypto exchange, filed for bankruptcy in November in the most high-profile crypto industry failure to date. The move puts the EU a step ahead of the U.S. and U.K., which are yet to bring in formal rules for the crypto space.
I see two ways price can go from here. Both through FWB:25K stop. Let's see how this plays out.

FRC: Buy 9 Green SetupOne of the most plugged-in high financiers thinks troubled regional bank First Republic Bank will need more than a few bucks from stronger rivals to stay afloat and prevent the return of the banking turmoil that dominated March's headlines.
“I think First Republic Bank is clearly on a watchlist, and probably somebody at some point will buy it. But the challenge there is that it needs government assistance,” The Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein said in a lengthy chat on Yahoo Finance Live.
Rubenstein believes First Republic Bank’s finances are in such rough shape the government will have no choice but to step in.
TONBTC: mean gravity come into playWhat Is Toncoin (TON)?
Toncoin (TON) is a decentralized layer-1 blockchain developed in 2018 by the encrypted messaging platform Telegram. The project was then abandoned, taken over by the TON Foundation, and renamed from "Telegram Open Network" to "The Open Network".
Since 2020, the technology has been developing thanks to a non-commercial group of supporters and an independent community of enthusiasts who called themselves the TON Foundation. Toncoin, formerly known as Gram, is the native cryptocurrency of the TON network.
The original idea was to integrate TON into an easy-to-use application that allows users to buy/send/store funds. Clients pay transaction fees and use TON to settle payments or validate transactions. Toncoin utilizes the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus model for network scalability and reliability. According to the project website, the platform provides its customers with fast, transparent and secure payment services, facilitating transactions with minimal fees and third-party applications.
The developers’ mission is to build a full-fledged ecosystem with decentralized storage, decentralized services, a domain name system (DNS equivalent), an anonymous network, an instant payment platform, and affordable/fast transaction processing.
The Open Network is a community-driven blockchain with a flexible architecture and focus on serving a typical consumer. TON stands out due to the fast processing/validation of transactions per second (TPS). In September 2021, the network processed a then-world record of 55,000 TPS during a contest, although the current TPS could be in the hundreds of thousands or even millions. This feature allows the project to grow rapidly while avoiding performance losses. At the same time, the project does not harm the environment.
Who Founded Toncoin?
Originally, the blockchain platform was created by brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov, and developed by the Telegram team. Telegram planned to launch an on-chain token called Gram and establish a platform for decentralized applications (dApps).
Gram was getting a lot of attention, which started to cause trouble. Its development was prohibited by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Gram was considered securities, and the SEC banned the release of Gram tokens.
The Telegram team brought TON to the state of an almost full-fledged product. However, in 2020, Telegram CEO, Pavel Durov, left the project, and the development was handed over to independent crypto enthusiasts.
From the very beginning, the project was created as an open-source code so anyone could continue the development. The current network was launched and developed by Anatoliy Makosov and Kirill Emelianenko, members of the community called NewTON (later the TON Foundation).
What Makes Toncoin Unique?
TON has a multi-level structure built on the principle of sharding or segmentation ("blockchain within a blockchain"). A sharding feature involves the use of multiple subnets (shards) on the same blockchain, where each shard has a specific purpose. It allows the net to avoid the accumulation of unverified blocks and speeds up tasks. The TON network consists of the master, work and shard chains.
The developers focus on scalability, efficiency and mass adoption. Due to the well-established interaction between segments, the network provides ultra-fast transactions, verifying and processing a massive amount of TPS.
The TON network offers the following services: TON Wallets, a built-in wallet function designed to transfer funds and interact with platform services and offers two categories of wallets: custodial and non-custodial; TON Services allows developers to create various dApps while users can access third-party apps through a user-friendly interface; TON Storage offers the benefits of private encryption using the private key of the owner's wallet; TON Proxy uses all platform components and allows clients to access the TON blockchain via decentralized VPNs; TON DNS (decentralized name system) makes it possible for traditional websites to work in the TON network, allowing users to set short, readable names.
How Many Toncoin (TON) Coins Are There in Circulation?
The TON network has its native token, Toncoin, with a circulating supply of 1.22B TON and a maximum supply of 5B TON.
Toncoin was designed to fuel the ecosystem. It can be used to build decentralized applications (dApps), act as a transaction processing fee, as a cross-chain transaction fee, and as a staking payment to secure the blockchain and services. The list of use cases also includes payment for decentralized data storage, TON DNS/TON Proxy, and other fees within decentralized services. Validator fees are also paid in TON. In addition, people can vote with TON for changes and development within TON's governance program.
How Is the Toncoin (TON) Network Secured?
The network utilizes the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to validate transactions. Moreover, Toncoin is used to reward validators. Nominators can also provide tokens to validators and receive rewards. Validators and nominators are managed with smart contracts, providing the network with extra protection. Smart contracts are executed using TON Virtual Machine (TVM).

OXENBTC: Breaking resistanceCMC # 607
What is Oxen (OXEN)?
Oxen (formerly known as LOKI) is a privacy tech project with a mission. It’s a private cryptocurrency with instant transactions. An enormous and powerful PoS network. A secure messaging platform. A network anonymity layer. Tools to build a more private future for the Internet — all on blockchain.
Our vision is to provide a range of tools and services powered by the OXEN coin, enabling users and developers all over the world to leverage the power of our decentralised blockchain network to achieve unparalleled privacy and security as they work, play, and live their day-to-day lives on the internet. And this isn’t just an empty vision — we've put in the hard yards and spent years building these technologies to make our vision a reality.
The Oxen privacy stack includes:
Session, a fully anonymous, totally decentralised encrypted messaging platform
Lokinet, a powerful low-latency onion router
Oxen Name System (ONS), a registration system that allows users to provably burn OXEN to purchase temporary or permanent usernames for Session (and Oxen wallets), and domain names for Lokinet services
The Oxen coin is used for: * Staking to run Oxen Service Nodes * Purchasing name registrations for Lokinet (our onion router) and Session (our private messenger) * Transferring value through instant, private transactions with our revolutionary Blink transaction tech
How much OXEN is in circulation?
Oxen emissions have been adjusted downwards over time, and now sit at 16.5 OXEN per block. The Oxen blockchain has a 2-minute block time, meaning 11,800 OXEN is created per day. An aggressive coin burning strategy (OXEN is burned through transaction fees, ONS name registrations, and other interactions with the blockchain) and a high coin lockup ratio (as of March 2021, 42.7% of OXEN’s circulating supply is staked to run Oxen Service Nodes) help to drive positive price action.
Who are Oxen’s founders?
Oxen and its subsidiary projects are the brainchild of the founding Oxen team: Simon Harman (CEO), Kee Jeffreys (CTO), Christopher McCabe (COO), and Josh Jessop-Smith (CMO). Oxen’s founders met at the Melbourne Blockchain Center in 2017, and through their shared passion for privacy tech and belief in the potential of blockchain, Simon, Kee, Chris, and Josh began building the project now known as Oxen.
