In 2016, ThreeFold identified the need for a new, upgraded, and more-secure internet – a peer-to-peer internet that empowers equality (access), autonomy to its users, and sustainability. Today, independent ThreeFold Farmers have collectively built the largest distributed peer-to-peer grid of internet capacity in the world, live with more than 40,000,000 GB of capacity and 15,000 CPU cores, and stretching across more than 20 countries.
The technology for this new internet has been created by ThreeFold Tech, who works with its partner Hewlett Packard Enterprise to provide ThreeFold Farmers with high-quality hardware.
An Alliance to Build a True Peer-to-Peer Internet
ThreeFold comes alive with a collaborative ecosystem of partners and projects called the Conscious Internet Alliance, focused on creating a more human and planet centric world. Among them:
- The Solidaridad Network, which aims to empower more fair and sustainable supply chains
- 3Bot, your digital twin, a gateway to a peer-to-peer world
- SEEDS, a regenerative financial system for a thriving global society
- Take Action Global, creating opportunities for students to take action on social good causes
- Artheon VR Museum, a free educational platform offering immersive cultural experiences
- A peer-to-peer file manager, virtual browser, and more
Together, the alliance represents a group of projects that believe in the need for a new Internet that does good for the world. ThreeFold welcomes new partners who share the same belief and are ready to act.
The Token of the New Internet
The ThreeFold Grid is powered by the ThreeFold Token (TFT), which is now publicly available on the Stellar Network and will be listed on Liquid Exchange and BTC-Alpha Exchange towards the end of May. Proceeds from the token sale will be used to support projects focused on bringing experiences to the ThreeFold Grid, including some mentioned above.
The TFT is a decentralized digital currency that represents a unit of reservation of capacity (compute or storage) on the ThreeFold Grid, the largest peer-to-peer internet grid on earth.
It is a fully community-mined (farmed) token; there has never been an initial coin offering of any kind. TFTs are only created when physical hardware is connected to the ThreeFold Grid and can be exchanged for the utilization of grid capacity at any point. The token model incentivizes the further expansion of the ThreeFold Grid towards developing regions, especially Africa and South America. Additionally, part of the transaction goes to the Foundation to fund projects that are believed to bring a positive human or planet impact.
ThreeFold, along with its collective ecosystem of partners, believes that equality, autonomy, and sustainability are key pillars needed to achieve peace and fulfillment of humankind’s potential. Together, they aim to join forces to create and share better technological and non-technological solutions with the world.
ThreeFold is building a peer-to-peer internet that empowers equality, autonomy, and sustainability, and is supported by the ThreeFold Foundation. Its technology has been developed by ThreeFold Tech in collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Kleos, and Flowgen as its technology partners. The team formed around co-founder and serial entrepreneur Kristof de Spiegeleer has over 15 years of experience in cloud computing and a number of exits. ThreeFold is a planet-first project, believing that building technology and doing good for the world can go hand in hand.

Bitcoin Prepares For its Next Move: Where is the 100 SMA, the Key BTC Level?

Bitcoin price is consolidating above the $59,500 support zone against the US Dollar. BTC is now showing a few positive signs, but it must clear $61,200 for a fresh rally in the near term.
- Bitcoin is holding gains above the $60,000 and $59,500 support levels.
- The price is now trading well above the $59,500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
- There is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $59,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
- The pair is likely to start a sharp upward move once it clears the $60,800 and $61,200 levels.
Bitcoin Price is Showing Positive Signs
Bitcoin remained in a range above the $59,000 level and it is showing a few positive signs. Recently, BTC made another attempt to clear the $61,200 resistance, but it failed.
It corrected lower and retested the $59,500 support level. A low is formed near $59,432 and the price is now moving higher. It is also trading well above the $59,500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $61,212 high to $59,432 low. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $59,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Bitcoin is now trading above $60,400, but it is facing resistance near $60,800. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $61,212 high to $59,432 low.
A successful break above the $60,800 level could open the doors for a move above $61,200. If the bulls succeed in clearing $61,200, the price could rally in the coming sessions.
Dips Limited in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to climb above $60,800 and $61,200, there could be a short-term downside correction. An initial support on the downside is near the $60,000 level.
The main support is now forming near the trend line, $59,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If the bulls fail to protect the 100 hourly SMA, there could be a major decline. In this case, the price might decline towards the $58,000 level.
Technical indicators:
Hourly MACD – The MACD is now gaining momentum in the bullish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now well above the 50 level.
Major Support Levels – $59,500, followed by $59,000.
Major Resistance Levels – $60,800, $61,200 and $62,000.

USDT, USDC, and BUSD represent 93% of stablecoin market cap

Research from on-chain analytics provider Glassnode has revealed that the top three stablecoins represent more than 90% of the sector’s entire market cap.
Glassnode’s April 13 “Week On-chain” report found that the top three stablecoins — Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and Binance USD (BUSD) — have seen significant growth over the past six months to represent a combined capitalization of more than $60 billion, equal to 92.75% of the stablecoin market.
By contrast, six months ago the combined stablecoin capitalization for those three was less than one-third of its current levels at $19.2 billion. This time last year, stablecoins were worth just $7 billion combined.
The analysis compared the growth of stablecoins with Bitcoin’s market cap, identifying a clear correlation between the two. The report also found that USDT’s supply has continued to increase during recent weeks despite BTC trending sideways, whereas growth for USDC and BUSD has slowed.

The report notes historic lows for its Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) metric, which measures Bitcoin’s market cap relative to the total stablecoin supply to estimate the global “buying power” of the stablecoin sector.
When BTC prices are low, the supply of stablecoins can buy a larger portion of it to push prices up. Conversely, as prices increase the available stablecoins can purchase less which reduces the influence on prices. Glassnode concluded:
“The growth of stablecoin supplies throughout 2020-21 has held the SSR metric near historical lows suggesting a relatively high buying power of digitally native dollars. The demand for digital dollars appears to be keeping pace with demand for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole.”
Tether’s market cap has over doubled since the beginning of 2021 to currently sit at a record $45.6 billion, according to the Tether transparency report. Circle’s website reported an all-time high of $11.5 billion USDC on April 9, while Goingecko estimated BUSD’s supply to be $5.1 billion on April 13.
On April 7, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire predicted its USDC stablecoin could soon surpass PayPal by settlement value.
