Altcoins are catching up



Bitcoin ( BTC ) has now developed into the status of a popular hedge against inflation, but as new data show, the crypto market leader from Ethereum ( ETH ) and other Altcoins is getting more and more competition for the favor of investors.


An important indicator for this is the key figure Assets Under Management (AUM), which shows the total assets invested in a financial product. Bitcoin mutual fund AUMs are now down 9.5% in November to $ 48.7 billion, the biggest drop since July. Meanwhile, the AUM in altcoin mutual funds (e.g. for ETH) rose 5.4% to $ 16.6 billion


As can be seen in the graphic above, however, the total value of all AUM in crypto investment products also fell by 5.5% to $ 70 billion. Hardly surprising, because since Bitcoin recently hit a new record high of over 65,000 US dollars, the entire market has been in a slight sag.



Accordingly, the 9.5% return of the AUM for Bitcoin is noticeable, because these make up a market share of 70.6%. The AUM for Ethereum financial products has meanwhile increased by 5.4% to 16.6 billion US dollars, while the AUMs for all other cryptocurrencies come together to 2.6 billion US dollars.


Out of the total AUM offerings, Grayscale products amount to 76.8% of the AUM market. The Grayscale-dominated trust products fell by 6.8% to $54.5 billion. Other prominent players include XBT Provider ($5.0bn, 7.2% of total) and 21Shares ($2.5bn, 3.6% of total), evidenced by the graph below:


Of all crypto investment products, the Grayscale investment funds make up the largest piece of the pie with a market share of 76.8%. However, the market leader also had to accept a loss of 6.8% to an AUM value of 54.5 billion US dollars. The other major crypto investment providers are XBT Providers ($ 5 billion, 7.2% market share) and 21Shares ($ 2.5 billion, 3.6% market share), as can be seen in the graph below.


Monthly cash flow into Bitcoin investment products averages $ 94.4 million in November. The rest of the crypto market collectively hits a weekly average of $ 67.8 million, of which Ethereum investment products account for $ 24.4 million. Cardano and Tron come in at $ 10.7 million and $ 10.5 million, respectively.


After all, with the large investment bank Morgan Stanley, an important player has increased its investments in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust in the last few weeks and months.


As Cointelegraph had reported , official records of the US Securities and Exchange Commission show that Morgan Stanley increased its own investments in the GBTC by a total of 63%.



Morgan Stanley's crypto portfolio has now risen to more than 300 million US dollars, most of which is invested in Bitcoin.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
