– Helen Keller
Slow day
Over the last 24 hours, total market capitalization stayed within a tight range of ~$220.9 billion and ~$223.6 billion, with most coins either seeing gains or losses in the ~1-3% range. Notable mover of the day is Chainlink (LINK), currently up ~17.1%. 24-hour volume registered ~$52 billion.
BTC is currently trading at ~$8,250, at the same level it was at yesterday. Consolidation at these levels continue. On the daily chart, RSI is at ~35, still indicative of significant bearish momentum. The MACD line has also crossed to the upside of the signal line.
For the kids
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has started a cryptocurrency fund that will manage Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) donations in a bid to support open source technology for children worldwide.
The first contribution comes in the form of 100 ETH from the Ethereum Foundation, and marks a combined effort between the Foundation and UNICEF to boost "access to basic needs, rights, and resources".
Earlier this year, UNICEF was in discussions with the Kyrgyzstan government to use blockchain and offer schools internet access through the Project Connect movement.
Ver 2
Casa, a New York-based cryptocurrency custody startup, has launched Casa Node 2, a new form of the widely adopted pre-synced Bitcoin (BTC) full node product.
The new Node 2 delivers a speedier and smoother BTC and Lightning experience by using a faster processor on Raspberry Pi 4, together with a 1TB solid state drive (SSD) and 4GB RAM.
Casa has also announced a new model of its native node program, NodeOS. After the update, the Casa Node 2 will run BTCPayServer, a leading open-source BTC payments processor.
China is in
The Hong Kong-based China Merchants Bank International (CMBI) is contributing to the Nervos Network security token offering (STO), cementing the Chinese government's indirect participation in the offering.
A prior report showed that CMBI was investing in the STO to "build an open platform and a new investment bank". This is the CMBI's second time investing in Nervos tokens, with the first being back in a 2018 fundraising.
In the meantime, crypto exchange Huobi is working with the Nervos Foundation to produce a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform to support easier capital flows among cryptocurrencies.
