When trying to assess Velo it’s probably best to start off with the reality that many of the project’s key objectives have already been attempted by other projects. The remittance market has already been targeted by projects such as Ripple, OmiseGO, Everex, and the IBM World Wire initiative meaning that Velo is stepping into an area that is already filled with many competing projects.

However, these projects have struggled to gain significant traction in disrupting the global payments sector so the Velo team are still on time with their core goals. The project’s executive team and commercial partners should go a long way to ensure that Velo is successful in disrupting a market sector that has so far been able to resist other blockchain based payments processors.

Velo has the backing of the CP Group which is the largest private company in Thailand, is the sole operator of 7-Eleven convenience stores in Thailand, and reported revenues of around $63 billion in 2018. Seven Bank is a subsidiary of Seven & I Holdings Co., Ltd., and owns all the 7–Eleven convenience stores in Japan and close to 70,000 stores worldwide. This represents a huge commercial network and the potential for integrating Velo payments terminals at these locations could be a game changer.

The Graph ($GRT)
https://thegraph.com/
--

The CryptoCalibur team has been following The Graph for some months, and are now adding this one-of-a-kind project to our Team Picks. We believe this will be one of the more successful projects in the space, with a great chance to establish itself as a permanent protocol.

The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying networks like Ethereum and IPFS. Anyone can build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, making data easily accessible and dApp ready. Learn more about this complex and powerful solution here: https://thegraph.com/blog/the-graph-grt-token-economics

Interested in the token sale?
We are pleased to announce that our readers are still very early, but time is short. Registration is available until October 15th here: https://thegraph.com/blog/announcing-the-graphs-grt-sale

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄
🔴 NEW PROJECT ON OUR RADAR 🔴

CryptoCalibur Interest Level: 🤔 Potentially High 🤔

https://beta.charm.fi/

Listing: TBA

A protocol that creates liquidity for decentralized options. At its core, Charm is an Automatic Market Maker (AMM) that can create liquid options on the blockchain. An AMM is a robot that's constantly willing to quote the user a price between two assets. Uniswap, Curve, Balancer and others all use AMMs at their core. Not only can you trade trustlessly using an AMM, but you can also become the house by providing liqudity to a liquidity pool. Charm has invented a novel model for options creation, pricing, trading, and settlement. This new AMM can offer cheap options and higher profits for traders, while simultaneously lowering the risk for liquidity providers (LPs). To gain further insight into Charm’s AMM we recommend you read the article the published (https://medium.com/charmfinance/how-does-charm-work-e6ce48beabe6v).

Token Utility (ERC20)

▪️ Governance token, to be released soon after Mainnet launch. More details to be announced.

Future Growth

▪️ Staking and reward mechanism implemented in their code for their future governance token.
▪️ Charm can offer an unlimited supply of options as it does not rely on writers to create options.
▪️ Charm's options architecture specialises in providing cheap options and higher profits for traders, and safer yields for LPs.
▪️ Platform can support options with differet underlying.
▪️ Users can eventually create their own options pools and markets.

What We Like

Team aims to launch soon on mainnet and are self funded so far.
Charm does not have margin calls, liquidations, or charge daily fees for holding a position.
Charm Finance uses a novel architecture that can provide cheap options and low LP risk. Current solution either provide (1) cheaper options with higher risk or (2) expensive opttions with low LP risk.
Dynamic pricing of options based on supply and demand, leading to cheaper options.
Options at Charm have more value, because they can be traded as well as exercised; which means traders can profit from changes in the price of the underlying, as well as changes in volatility.
Options at Charm are cash-settled and all payoffs will be realised automatically and held by the smart contract on settlement date, ready for users to collect at any time. This is in contrast to other protocols, where users can lose all their profits if they forget to exercise their options.
Transparent and ethical devs. "To protect our users, we have decided to roll out our option markets gradually, gather feedback, and thoroughly test the smallest details before introducing them to the public."
Charm Finance is unaudited, and will launch on mainnet with a TVL cap in order to protect user funds. The cap will be gradually lifted as more security enhancments (e.g. audit, insurance etc..) are put in place.

This is not sponsored nor paid content. If we find a relatively under the radar project that we believe has potential we post about it.
🗞 Cryptocurrency Weekly News | January 24th, 2020 🗞

Greetings everyone, and welcome to the Technical Analysis section of our newly re-established Newsletter. The purpose of this weekly section will be mostly to take a quick look at the short-term trend of Bitcoin ($BTC) but occasionally may feature some other crypto chart as something interesting takes place along our journey.

But with that said, this first entry will be more of a long form discussion to set the table. A short-term analysis is best considered within the context of a larger timeframe thesis, so let’s get that established. Read more and view the technical charts.

Highlights of The Week

📉 On-chain analysts identify more whales have been buying Bitcoin dips

🍆 Pornhub adds XRP, BNB, USDC, and DOGE to its payment options

💪 More Than $3 Billion of Ethereum is locked in ETH 2.0

Bitcoin Sets the Pace for 2021

As we move through the first month of the year Bitcoin is already setting a relentless pace that most digital assets will struggle to keep up with. However, we are not talking strictly in terms of price appreciation but more in terms of corporate and institutional adoption.

Firstly, last week brought the news that long term Bitcoin investors Grayscale have added an additional 8,700 Bitcoin to their Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) which provides more traditional investors with exposure to Bitcoin. As a result, the Trust now retains a value in excess of $20B, and this news was followed by the revelation that Skybridge Capital’s Bitcoin Fund has already grown to reach approximately $360M in value.

The Fund was officially launched on January 4, 2021 after the investment advisory firm made Bitcoin purchases over the final two months of 2020, and further highlights the significant progression being made with regards to institutional financial houses incorporating Bitcoin into their portfolios.
