Kegiatan investasi tersebut dilakukan oleh perwakilan dari UNICEF, yakni UNICEF Cryptocurrency Fund. Delapan perusahaan tersebut merupakan perusahaan teknologi yang berasal dari tujuh negara berkembang yang berbeda.

Investasi yang dilakukan oleh UNICEF tersebut diberikan berupa mata uang virtual dan uang tunai kepada kedelapan perusahaan tersebut. Jumlah mata uang virtual yang diberikan kepada delapan perusahaan tersebut adalah sebesar 125 ETH atau setara 28.600 dolar Amerika Serikat (407 juta rupiah).

Sebelumnya, UNICEF juga telah memberikan investasi dana berupa uang tunai sebesar 100 ribu dolar Amerika Serikat atau setara dengan 1,4 miliar rupiah. Dana yang diinvestasikan oleh UNICEF tersebut digunakan untuk meningkatkan atau membuat prototipe teknologi mereka masing-masing selama enam bukan ke depan.

Beberapa perusahaan yang menerima dana investasi dari UNICEF, antara lain Afinidata dan Cireha. Afinidata merupakan perusahaan yang menawarkan konten pendidikan kepada orang tua dengan anak kecil.

Sementara itu, Cireha merupakan perusahaan yang membangun sistem komunikasi untuk anak-anak dengan gangguan bicara atau bahasa untuk digunakan di dunia offline.

Beberapa perusahaan yang diberikan dana investasi oleh UNICEF tersebut merupakan perusahaan-perusahaan yang memiliki visi dan misi yang sejalan dengan UNICEF.

UNICEF berharap dengan memberikan investasi cryptocurrency kepada delapan perusahaan tersebut mampu memberikan kesempatan kepada perusahaan untuk melaksanakan misi mereka lebih jauh. Dengan demikian, perusahaan yang memiliki visi dan misi sejalan dengan UNICEF bisa terus berjalan.

Co-lead UNICEF Ventures, Chris Fabian, menyebut bahwa upaya UNICEF ini juga merupakan cara organisasi naungan PBB itu untuk memperluas cara menangani permasalahan anak-anak dan pendidikan di dunia.

“Kami melihat dunia digital datang kepada kami lebih cepat dari yang kami bayangkan dan UNICEF harus dapat menggunakan semua alat dari dunia baru ini untuk membantu anak-anak hari ini dan besok,” ujar Fabian dalam siaran pers yang diterbitkan oleh UNICEF.

“Transfer dana ini, ke delapan perusahaan di tujuh negara di dunia, membutuhkan waktu kurang dari 20 menit dan biaya kami kurang dari 20 dolar Amerika Serikat.”

“Pergerakan nilai global yang hampir instan, biaya yang kurang dari 0,00009 persen dari jumlah total yang ditransfer, dan transparansi waktu nyata bagi para donor dan pendukung kami adalah jenis alat yang kami sukai,” ucap Fabian menambahkan.

Langkah UNICEF lakukan investasi menggunakan teknologi blockchain memang dirasa sebagai keputusan yang tepat. Hal tersebut dikarenakan UNICEF sedang berinvestasi kepada perusahaan teknologi.

Sehingga, investasi digital terhadap perusahaan teknologi digital bisa menjadi solusi untuk masa depan yang lebih baik dalam pengelolaan isu terkait anak-anak dan pendidikan.

Bitcoin HODL Waves Suggest Bull Run Has Barely Started

Analyzing Bitcoin HODL Waves from previous bull runs as led crypto YouTuber and analyst Lark Davis to the conclusion that this cycle is still in its infancy.

He added that we are just now past the first major price wave, “get ready for wave 2”.

The chart depicts three distinct price waves for every market cycle back to 2011. The current cycle shows just one wave cresting at Bitcoin’s recent all-time high of $58,250 on Feb. 21. This indicates that, if history rhymes, there could be two larger ones to come especially if corporate giants keep buying it.

Bitcoin Being Hodled

HODL Waves are a visualization pioneered by Unchained Capital which shows the cross-section of Bitcoin held in wallets grouped by the age since they last moved. The Bitcoin financial services company explained;

“By comparing the age of bitcoin sitting in addresses to the current US dollar prices, we can make some interesting conjectures about the bitcoin economy and the sentiment of HODLers.”

Glassnode has extrapolated the short-term HODL waves and overlaid them on the logarithmic scale price chart. Using these metrics it does appear that there is a lot more to go with this bull run, but there are many other on-chain and fundamental factors to consider.

One of them is them is the central bank money printing narrative which could drive wild inflation and devalue global currencies. Trillions of new dollars have been printed for stimulus purposes in the U.S. alone since the Covid-19 pandemic put the economy into shutdown mode in early 2020.

Vice President of digital asset strategy at Fundstrat Global Advisor, Leeor Shimron, compared Bitcoin to M1 money stock – the country’s basic money supply that is used as a medium of exchange. He also thinks this cycle could “get very wild” in the face of unprecedented money printing.

BTC Price Outlook

At the time of press, BTC was trading at $49,250, down from its recent weekly high of $52,580 hit in late trading on March 3 according to Tradingview.com.

Momentum is still bullish from a weekend swing low to $43,300 but the asset needs to break above resistance at $55,250 to push towards a new all-time high.

March has traditionally been a bearish month for Bitcoin and crypto markets so this move may come later in the year.

Ripple CEO files motion to dismiss SEC complaint citing ‘abuse of prosecutorial discretion’

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has filed a motion to dismiss the SEC’s amended complaint against him, calling it “regulatory overreach.”

The exec took to Twitter to announce his position on the SEC’s charges against him and Ripple Labs Inc. by sharing a link to the letter filed on his behalf, saying that “it speaks for itself.” According to the said letter, the SEC’s allegations against Garlinghouse fail on account of a number of reasons.

The same, addressed to U.S District Court Judge Analisa Torres, claimed,

“First, the SEC fails to recognize the economic realities of Defendants’ transactions in XRP, the XRP market, and Ripple’s business, each of which exhibits none of the traditional characteristics of an investment contract.”

The motion to dismiss, filed by Cleary Gottlieb Steen and Hamilton, also commented on the SEC’s amended complaint, while also expanding on the regulatory agency personally targeting Garlinghouse for the alleged violation of securities laws.

“Straining to impose personal liability on an executive like Mr. Garlinghouse for simply doing his job where he reasonably understood that his actions complied with the law represents an abuse of prosecutorial discretion that has sent a dangerous signal to entrepreneurs and will chill innovation.”

Garlinghouse was reported to have sold over 60% of his XRP holdings for approximately $159 million at the time of those transactions, leaving him with 200 million XRP tokens. While holding 200 million XRP tokens is a considerably long position, some members of the community feel that Garlinghouse selling a majority of his XRP is disingenuous on his part.

In fact, Ripple’s lawyers have argued that the SEC’s allegations with respect to Garlinghouse’s XRP sales are “vague,” with no particular reference to any of these transactions occurring within the United States.

“The truth is that the vast majority of Mr. Garlinghouse’s XRP sales were made on foreign exchanges, and those transactions do not and cannot violate the federal securities laws,” they asserted.

XRP was trading at $0.4660 at press time, down by over 25% from a high of $0.6338 in February.

Socios.com has already partnered with some of the biggest sporting teams and clubs including the likes of AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Juventus, UFC and more.

OKEx couldn’t be happier to support this important initiative.”
