What other stories can I tell in 2020?

Cryptocurrency analyst Joseph Young:

The main stories of cryptocurrencies in 2019:

  • Exchange-traded fund ETF (launch)
  • Miner surrenders (when the price of bitcoin falls, small-scale mining operations are in trouble and sell coins, which promotes further decline in the price of coins, reduces the difficulty of mining, and eventually reverses the trend and a bull market appears)
  • Bitcoin (2020) halved (expected)
  • Physical delivery of Bitcoin futures contract Bakkt (online)
  • Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) actions (institutional entry, futures options trading)

Entering 2020, it seems that only halving Bitcoin is the only remaining story.

2020, more stories:

Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)

In Joseph's tweet, he also mentioned Ethereum 2.0, Lightning Network (LN), etc. For the cryptocurrency industry in 2020, which are the major industry threads and small industry trends that you think, please leave a message to share with us ~

BitMex clears $ 20 billion in 2019, with longs accounting for 65%

Data analysis platform Unfolded:

In 2019, all 20 billion USD of BitMex transactions were liquidated, an increase of 20% compared to 2018's 16.4 billion USD. Among them, the long liquidation accounted for about 65%.

Assuming an average leverage of 25 times:

This means that approximately 800 million US dollars of user funds on the BitMex platform will be liquidated in 2019.

After reading the contract futures market, let's take a look at the spot market. Arcane's research report shows that only 5 of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have grown in 2019, and the rest are still in the recovery phase of a bear market. .

Tezos (token XTZ) is the only newly entered project in the top ten, recording a growth of nearly 200% in 2019, ranking first in the top ten, followed by BNB (+ 110%), BTC (+80 %).

Stellar performed the worst in the top ten, with a negative growth of -62% in 2019, followed by XRP (-49%) and ETH (-12%).
