"If I ask you to identify the global hub for #crypto, you may say Silicon Valley, but the concentration of companies is nowhere near the Bay Area. The most valuable crypto companies are in Asia." ~@JoyceInNYC, CEO @Globalcoinrsrch Click To Tweet "Founders want to get into Asia. They see how active these markets are versus what's in the US, which isn't going poorly… @coinbase is a billion-dollar company. There are just very few Coinbases." ~@JoyceInNYC, CEO @Globalcoinrsrch Click To Tweet "I see India, Singapore, the trading market & the lending market being driving forces in Asia and pushing the industry along. Asia has one of the most robust hubs for #crypto & #blockchain." ~@JoyceInNYC, CEO @Globalcoinrsrch Click To Tweet [Read more…] about 🎧 “Asia, Crypto, and The Coronavirus” w/ Joyce Yang of Global Coin Research (Ep. 0074)

Popular Crypto #22 – Coinbase Cards Get 👍 From Visa + 1-Click DApp Logins

Welcome to Issue 22 of Popular Crypto, a newsletter about the mainstream products and services taking crypto to the masses.

In this issue:

  • Visa greenlights Coinbase to issue crypto debit cards
  • Torus enables 1-click DApp logins
  • Authereum brings usernames & passwords to Web 3.0
  • Enjin helps non-devs build on blockchain
  • Unstoppable launches a browser for the decentralized web

We also show you how to stack Handshake (HNS) from home using a Coinmine One.

All that and more in this week’s issue. But first, here’s some…

🚀 Updates From Nomics

  • #1. Nomics Launches Free CSV Downloads for All Cryptoasset & Exchange Pages: We’ve added free CSV downloads to Nomics.com. You can now take a CSV snapshot of our market cap index (homepage), exchange index, or any individual cryptoasset, exchange, or markets page – any page or tab with a yellow “Free CSV” button. For more, read our in-depth announcement or see the following tweet.
  • #2. We’re Keeping Tabs on the 2020 Election (Markets): Nomics has always listed synthetic trading pairs or artificial markets that aren’t commonly traded. With that infrastructure in place, it was easy to add the new 2020 election markets from crypto derivatives exchange FTX. Here’s a screenshot of the PETE/BERNIE market:

  • #3. Nomics Adds Seven New Exchanges & Upgrades Namebase to an “A” Transparency Rating: This week, Nomics added exchanges BiKi, BitForex, Coineal, CoinField, Prizmbit, BCEX, and CoinTiger. Meanwhile, exchange and Handshake (HNS) registrar Namebase was upgraded to an “A” Transparency Rating. This means that Namebase has provided us with highly granular (trade-level) data and full history for each trading pair. That data is now available on our website and via our market data API. For more on how we rate crypto exchanges, read the following essay.

And now, let’s see what the cryptocurrency world has brought us this week.

In this issue:

  • Crypto derivatives exchange FTX takes bets on 2020 candidates
  • Etherisc and Chainlink bring fairness to flight insurance claims
  • myNode makes it easy to run Bitcoin & Lightning

We also show you how to build a Bitcoin arcade with a Pandora’s Box, an M5Stack, a pair of Lightning wallets, and hot glue.

All that and more in this week’s issue. But first, here’s some…

🚀 Updates From Nomics

  • #1. Nomics Is First to List Handshake (HNS): This week, we completed an integration with Namebase, an exchange and registrar for Handshake domains. The integration made us the first crypto data aggregator to list live pricing information for Handshake’s native token, HNS. For more on Handshake and why it’s important, see our coverage in last week’s Popular Crypto.
  • #2. Nomics Adds Exchanges CoinFLEX & Bilaxy, Upgrades 4 More: Along with Namebase, Nomics added crypto exchanges CoinFLEX and Bilaxy. The former earned an “A” Transparency Rating, indicating full transparency with regard to trade data granularity and history. The latter earned a “D” for providing low-granularity non-historical ticker data. Exchanges ZBG, LBank, BigONE, and DragonEx were all upgraded to “C” Transparency Ratings. This means that each now provides us with recent candle data, which we’ve made available on Nomics.com and through our market data API. To learn more about our crypto exchange rating system, check out the following essay.
  • #3. New Capital Names Nomics One of Crypto’s Good Guys: In a post titled Crypto exchanges and data aggregators— the good (rare), the bad and the ugly, crypto exchange New Capital recognized Nomics as one of the few good actors in the space. They cited our Verified Exchange Program, which “serves to validate and rank the source exchanges in order to produce professional-grade market data” and our well-documented listing and integration process.
  • #4. Economics of Proof-of-Work Mining: We’ve recorded another episode of our live webinar series, Flippening Podcast [LIVE]. This time, we welcomed Hasu, an independent cryptocurrency researcher who writes for Uncommon Core and Deribit. We discussed why Bitcoin needs miners, what miners do, and how the economic incentives work. Catch the replay here.
