It’s because of this fact that the senior market analyst at Etoro, Mati Greenspan “it’s finally happening that the institutions are finally realizing that cryptocurrencies are going to stay for yet too long and now they are actually looking for every possible way to seize the opportunities presented by crypto assets.†He also appreciates the recent JSE move and stated that this is actually the period where the adoption is gradually happening and the traditional stock exchanges are actually integrating with cryptocurrencies.
WHAT WAS THE MOVE BY JAMAICA STOCK EXCHANGE(JSE)?
3rd April witnessed a rare involvement of the traditional stock exchange when JSE came up with an announcement which stated that JSE will soon start a limited pilot to trade Bitcoin as well as Ethereum within the next few weeks.
Experts as well as traders, across the globe, firmly believe that this step will undoubtedly not only open the doors to cryptocurrency investment but also will end up expanding the boundaries for the crypto market. Moreover, the managing director of the JSE, Marlene, this initiative aims to create not only a safe but also efficient as well as a transparent regulatory framework for the trading of digital assets.
Since the world is witnessing a gradual shift towards the crypto market, JSE is not the only one to show interest in the cryptocurrency. The Nasdaq in the U.S. recently reported that it has listed BTC as well ETH indices, whereas XRP-based exchange-traded product has been listed by Switzerland’s main stock exchange, namely SIX.

Everyone in the crypto community has heard Bitcoin’s alternative name of ‘digital gold.’ However, it is worth noting that there are nearly 80 other projects that are active right now, that are backed by actual physical gold.
More and more crypto projects continue to emerge with claims that their assets are backed by physical gold. According to recent data, there are around 77 active projects backed by gold right now, while around 30 others that claimed the same have failed.
Some examples of gold-backed projects that still around include Digixglobal’s DGX, Darico (DEC), the recently-announced Tether Gold (XAUt) Blockstock (BSO), GoldMint (MNTP), GramGold Coin (GGC), AurusGold (AWG), Cash Telex (CTLX), and many others.
Still, these projects only scratch the surface of the gold-backed altcoins in the crypto industry today, as many others were launched with the same idea in mind, some of which have even managed to fail already. As mentioned, around 30 such projects were launched over the years.
Despite this, many token developers are still not discouraged, and such coins continue to emerge, such as the coins launched by Coinshares, MKS, Blockchain.com, and Tether. Coinshares, headquartered in the UK, supposedly launched a coin backed by $20 million in gold.
Tether, the company behind the controversial stablecoin, USDT, also launched its own Tether Gold (XAUt) only last week, and it already got listed on Bitfinex on January 24th. According to the trading platform, XAUt owners enjoy the benefits of digital and physical assets alike.
The platform claims that this is a way for people to invest in gold without having to worry about issues like limited accessibility or storage costs.
However, some have already questioned projects like these, such as a known crypto supporter, John Paul Koning, who noted that these projects do not charge custody fees, but only redemption and trading fees. Koning wonders whether or not this is sustainable. Some have also questioned whether gold and not Bitcoin might be the future of money once more.
Attempts to pull it off were already made back in 1996 when they failed. Now, with decentralized technology that cryptocurrencies themselves utilize, gold might be getting another chance to take its old place as money in the e-gold form.

For instance, on the Joe Rogan Podcast, he revealed that he thinks the cryptocurrency will become a native currency of the Internet, and during an official earnings call for his fintech company Square, he took some time to tout his love for Bitcoin.
Naturally, his love for Bitcoin extended into his companies, with Square announcing a new division called Square Crypto in 2019.
Dorsey’s premise was that someone told him the most important thing he could do for Bitcoin is to “make the broader crypto ecosystem better,†hence the creation of this new division to do “what’s best for the crypto community and individual economic empowerment.â€
#BitcoinTwitter and #CryptoTwitter! Square is hiring 3-4 crypto engineers and 1 designer to work full-time on open source contributions to the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem. Work from anywhere, report directly to me, and we can even pay you in bitcoin! Introducing @SqCrypto. Why?
— jack (@jack) March 20, 2019
Throughout the entire hiring process of this new division, the team photos, memes published on Square Crypto’s Twitter page, and even the grant-giving process, it wasn’t exactly clear what this team was working on.
The team leader, a former senior employee at Google, did mention products meant to improve the usability of Bitcoin as a day-to-day form of money but was slow to elucidate any ventures it was eyeing.
But today, we got our answer.
According to a Square Crypto blog post published Tuesday, the company has launched something called the Lightning Development Kit (LDK).
This is kind of like a traditional software development kit (SDK) but focused on the Lightning Network, a second-layer scaling solution that effectively migrates some transactions off the main chain to allow for lightning-fast, effectively free, and cross-chain transfers.
We’ve got the team. We’ve got the mission. We’ve got hit or miss tweets. And now it’s time to talk about what we’re building: Introducing the Lightning Development Kit, or LDK. https://t.co/o73cJy7Cur
— Square Crypto (@sqcrypto) January 21, 2020
The LDK, the post indicates, will allow wallet developers to create “custom†integrations of the Network in an “easy, safe, and configurable way†through an API, demo apps, and other technical tools.
As to what exactly the LDK can be used for, at least from a top-down perspective, Square Crypto gave three examples:
1) Adding Lightning capabilities to existing bitcoin wallets — no need to create a separate wallet just for Lightning. 2) Supporting multi-device, multi-application access to a single wallet. 3) Allowing wallets to make UX/security/privacy tradeoffs such as external transaction signing and customizing their state backup to a cloud service.
Essentially, it should make the integration of the Lightning Network into existing or up-and-coming cryptocurrency software much easier than it is, and should, therefore, increase the adoption of the scaling solution with ample time.
It’s kind of like a shoehorn, but with the shoe being Bitcoin software and the foot being the Lightning Network…
The release of the LDK comes at a very good time, with the Lightning Network once again entering the minds of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
Per previous reports from Blockonomi, Bitcoin proponent Hodlonaut has started what is known as the Lightning Network Trust Chain for the second time.
Last time, this challenge, which sees individuals use the Lightning Network and large BTC transactions to create a link between Twitter accounts, gained much steam. Dorsey and LinkedIn and Microsoft board member Reid Hoffman participated in the Chain, amongst other prominent members of the community.
And as a result, the Lightning Network saw a flurry of growth, with the capacity of the Network nearly doubling in value during the time the chain was being formed.
With the arrival of the second Trust Chain and Square Crypto’s new Lightning Network kit, this Bitcoin scaling solution could see a micro-renaissance, so to say.

Get Forbes’ top crypto and blockchain stories delivered to your inbox every week for the latest news on bitcoin, other major cryptocurrencies and enterprise blockchain adoption.
Some market observers have cited hopes the cryptocurrency will enjoy greater adoption in 2020 when explaining these gains. Others have pointed to anticipation surrounding the upcoming halving, scheduled to take place in May, as another factor in bitcoin’s recent push higher.
Plus, why is bitcoin driving altcoins higher? The short answer: beta. Read more here.
According to a new survey of more than 400 financial advisors conducted by cryptocurrency investment firms Bitwise and ETF Trends, 13% of advisors are now allocating crypto for their clients. That’s more than double the 6% of advisors that were allocating crypto in 2019.
The number one factor driving that uptick? Crypto returns. Of the financial advisors polled, 54% cited that as the reason to allocate more investment dollars to digital currency.
According to Bitwise managing director and head of research Matt Hougan, financial advisors are opening their clients’ doors to crypto by either acting in an advisory role—showing clients how to purchase crypto in a secure and safe environment—investing in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which trades over-the-counter, or purchasing shares in private funds that provide access to cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency asset manager Grayscale revealed inflows of $600 million in 2019, more than 2013 through 2018 combined, after its best quarter on record. $147 million of last year’s investments came from new clients—24% of the total.
“If the persistent question is ‘where are the institutional investors in crypto?’ the answer is that they’re here and showing up in a meaningful size,” Michael Sonnenshein, managing director at Grayscale, said on the sidelines of the Crypto Finance Conference in Switzerland.
“With 71% of assets raised in Grayscale products during 2019 coming from institutions, we now have empirical data that this is part of a longer term trend—one that we have no reason to believe won’t be sustained into 2020.”

The reversal saw Bitcoin fall through the major support levels to a late morning intraday low $8,450.0.
Finding support in the 2nd half of the day, Bitcoin struck $8,750 levels late on before easing back.
Bitcoin broke back through the third major support level at $8,534.77 and the second major support level at $8,708.67 before easing back to sub-$8,700 levels.
The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the gain for the week.
For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend.
Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors.
Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend, rallying by 12.14%.
It was particularly bearish for the rest of the pack, with Tron’s TRX (-5.93%) and EOS (-4.82%), Litecoin (-4.48%), and Ethereum (-4.19%) leading the way down.
Binance Coin (-2.31%), Monero’s XMR (-2.91%), Ripple’s XRP (-2.98%), also struggled on the day.
Bitcoin Cash ACB and Stellar’s Lumen saw modest losses of 0.56% and 1.87% respectively.
While it was another mixed bag on Sunday, it was a bullish week for the crypto majors.
Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, rallying by 70.17%, with Bitcoin Cash ABC and Stellar’s Lumen up by 24.77% and by 22.77% respectively.
Whilst the rest of the majors saw more modest gains, it was double-digit gains across the board.
Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rallied from a Monday low $215.38 to a Sunday week high $250.2bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $238.72bn.
Bitcoin’s dominance held onto 66% levels following the bearish Sunday. Trading volumes continued to ease back from $177bn levels hit in the early part of the week. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $123.19bn.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by just 0.03% to $8,701.4. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $8,698.6 to a high $8,720.0.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was yet another mixed start to the day for the crypto top 10.
Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.80%), Monero’s XMR (+0.18%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.55%) joined Bitcoin in the green.
It was a bearish start for the rest, with Bitcoin Cash SV falling by 1.76% to lead the way down.
Bitcoin would need to move through to $8,780 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,095.47.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $9,000 levels.
Barring a broad-based extended crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance would likely limit any upside.
In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could visit $9,200 levels before any pullback. We would expect Bitcoin to come up short of the second major resistance level at $9,492.23 on the day.
Failure to move through to $8,780 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse.
A fall back through Sunday’s low $8,450.0 would bring the first major support level at $8,375.97 into play.
Barring another crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $8,053.23.
