Arcane Research predicts: What will it look like for Bitcoin and Co in 2022?

 


The research company Arcane Research made predictions about cryptocurrencies, their price, regulations, the hashrate of Bitcoin and even the fate of XRP and ADA for the year 2022.



Analysis company forecasts the crypto market in 2022

Arcane Research's weekly report, dated December 28, focuses on Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as other cryptocurrencies, NFTs, derivatives and others.


The report says that Bitcoin will have outperformed the S&P500 index by 2021. Bitcoin is up just under 73%, while the S&P500 was only 28%. Arcance expects BTC to continue this performance over the next year.


Arcane is also talking about the sharp surge in the Binance Coin (BNB) this year, which peaked at 1600% in May and will end this year up 1344%. While Solana and Terra as well as the NFT craze will continue to rise, analysts think that Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA) will fly out of the top 10.


While ETH strongly outperformed BTC this year with an increase of 455%, other Layer 1 blockchains outperformed ETH. Terra Luna ended the year with a plus of 14,823%, Fantom with 13,549%.


Above all, the year ends with the never-ending NFT craze. Blockchain games like Splinterlands and Alien Worlds are also seeing more and more users. Arcane predicts that traditional gaming brands will move into the NFT space in 2022 and benefit from the continued surge.


This year, Coinbase went public and currently has a market capitalization of $ 72 billion. The top five crypto company listings slated for 2022 are currently valued at over $ 1 billion. The analytics firm believes there will be some others worth more than $ 5 billion, like the bullish crypto exchange, which is currently valued at $ 9 billion. Bitcoin ETFs will hold more than 1 million BTC by the end of 2022.


In 2021, several Bitcoin Futures Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs =) were launched. These currently hold around 846,309 BTC. Arcane believes that growth will be seen here.



On Hash-Rate, the company says the United States currently leads the way, followed by Kazakhstan and Russia. Arcane sees the miners spread even further in regions like Latin America.

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...
