Provable Solvency Report #70 – January 2020
Coinfloor is a custodian of client bitcoins and we believe that we must set the industry standard for transparency and regular audits. Without proper public accountability, the industry will not be able to grow and mature. This is why we are committed to releasing a Provable Solvency Report every month. Coinfloor is proud to have the longest standing track record among bitcoin exchanges in regards to auditing.
Today we are publishing our 70th monthly Provable Solvency Report with step-by-step validation instructions for your convenience.
As of today, Coinfloor holds a total of 3,815.4219 XBT on behalf of our clients. You are invited to verify that your held bitcoins are included in this balance by following the instructions below.
What does the Provable Solvency Report include?
We started out by creating an obfuscated report of all current client balances (the Solvency Report) and then generated a SHA-256 hash of this report.
We then created a bitcoin transaction to ourselves, that includes all currently held client bitcoins, for a value of 3,819.3338. XBT. The output of the script also includes the OP_RETURN of the SHA-256 hash of the report, proving that at the time of making the solvency report, Coinfloor held all of our clients’ XBT funds. You can verify the amount and details of the transaction on the blockchain.

Your API authentication cookie:
You will find it in My Account > Dashboard in the Coinfloor signed in view, in the API section (visible only for fully verified accounts).
Instructions for Validating Solvency Report:
1. Open the Provable Solvency Report file:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/provablesolvency/+solvency_20200120.txt
2. Go to
https://passwordsgenerator.net/sha256-hash-generator/ or to your SHA256sum calculating application.
Copy the entire contents of the solvency report (including any leading or trailing spaces or blank lines) into the SHA-256 generator and calculate the SHA-256 hash of the report.
3. Go to
Click on the `SHOW ADVANCED` switch to view the OP_RETURN, where you will find the hash generated in the previous step matches the hash in the OP_RETURN output script of the transaction that includes all customer bitcoins.
Instructions for finding your account balance within the Solvency Report:
1. Go to
your local SHA1sum application
to calculate the SHA-1 digest of a message consisting of the timestamp shown at the top of the Solvency Report (1579519456) and your API authentication cookie.
Example (Linux):
timestamp: 1579519456
API authentication cookie (API Key): 9BTa7M0Z/Mrk6tFMJwEkTV3BQek=
command: echo -n ‘15795194569BTa7M0Z/Mrk6tFMJwEkTV3BQek=’ | sha1sum
(the command may differ depending on the SHA1sum application used)
2. Find the resulting hash in the solvency report. Your balance is shown on that line in satoshi units. 1 bitcoin = 100 000 000 satoshis. For your convenience, here is a link to a bitcoin unit converter:
We believe that this approach is the best way to achieve maximum accountability whilst retaining privacy for our clients. We welcome your feedback and hope that in time, other exchanges will also help safeguard client funds by providing proof of solvency reports to their users on a regular basis.
Thank you for your trust,
Coinfloor Team

Trading Volume by Asset
The figures below break down the trading volume of the largest, mid-size, and smallest assets. Cryptos are in purple, fiats are in blue. For each asset, the chart contains the daily trading volume in USD, and the percentage of the total trading volume. The percentages for fiats and cryptos are treated separately, so that they both add up to 100%.

Spread %
Spread percentage is the width of the bid/ask spread divided by the bid/ask midpoint. The values are generated by taking the median spread percentage over each minute, then the average of the medians over the day.

Solana targets growth in Southeast Asia with a $5M grants scheme

Solana has turned its focus towards decentralized finance in Southeast Asia with a new $5 million development fund.
The Solana Foundation created the fund in partnership with Vietnam-based investment firm Coin98 Ventures, enabling regional startups building on Solana to receive technical, marketing, and community support, as well as up to $100,000 in funding. The fund will run for the next three years with a specific focus on projects within the DeFi and Web3 spaces, including marketplaces, exchanges, and other DApps or tooling.
This is one of the first grants specifying a core region of interest, with a particular focus on Vietnam. Solana Foundation Executive Director Eric Williams:
“Our goal is to create the optimal conditions for developers in Southeast Asia to build amazing things on Solana.”
According to the announcement, “project teams may be distributed, but must have a physical presence in Southeast Asia.” The announcement makes it clear that if they do not have a presence there, they will not qualify for the fund.
Williams explained that the foundation partnered with Coin98 Ventures because of the technical and community support they can provide, adding that the key to this fund being successful is the combination of financial and technical support:
“Sometimes hurdles can be solved with extra money, other times they cannot.”
DeFi is gaining traction within the Solana ecosystem, driving trading volume to all-time highs earlier this month.
Using treasuries and fund campaigns to boost developer ecosystems within blockchains is common with programs already available for a range of blockchain networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, OkCoin, and Polkadot.
In September last year, Polkadot received one of the largest fund boosts to date with Digital asset development company RockX investing $20 million to support the Polkadot ecosystem over the next five years.

TA: Bitcoin Holds Strong At $31K, Why The Bulls Are Facing Uphill Task
Bitcoin price is stuck in a range below the $33,500 and $33,800 resistance levels against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to continue lower unless it clears the $33,800 resistance.
- Bitcoin retested the $31,000 zone and managed to stay in a range.
- The price is currently facing resistance near $32,800 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
- There is a short-term ascending channel or a » Read more

Bitcoin Price Is Facing Strong Resistance
After a failed attempt to clear the $35,000 resistance, bitcoin price trimmed gains and traded below $33,800. BTC even broke the $32,500 level and settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average.
There was a spike below the $31,000 level, but it remained stable above $30,800. A low is formed near $30,823 and the price is currently recovering higher. It surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $34,915 high to $30,823 low.
Bitcoin price is currently facing resistance near $32,800 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $34,915 high to $30,823 low is also near $32,800.

” href=”https://www.newsbtc.com/dictionary/bear/” data-wpel-link=”internal”>bear flag forming with support near $31,900 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. To continue higher, the bulls need to gain strength above $32,500, $32,800 and the 100 hourly SMA.
The next strong resistance is near the $33,500 and $33,800 levels. A close above $33,800 could increase the chances of a steady rise in the coming sessions.
Fresh Dip in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the $32,800 resistance or $33,500, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support is near the channel support at $31,900.
A clear break below the channel support could open the doors for a larger decline towards the $30,800 support. Any more losses may possibly call for a downside break below the $30,000 support zone.
Technical indicators:
Hourly MACD – The MACD is struggling to gain momentum in the bullish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now close to the 50 level.
Major Support Levels – $31,800, followed by $30,800.
Major Resistance Levels – $32,800, $33,500 and $33,800.
