Is ICP a Scam? Arkham Intelligence Looked Into It

A Summary of Arkham Intelligence’s Takedown of ICP

Link to the article

ICP dropped from it’s ATH of $730 to $30
It ascended to the 3rd most valuable crypto asset
DFinity is the company behind ICP

On-Chain Analysis

The addresses in question belong to 3 entities: Dfinity, exchanges, and suspected insiders
The “Treasury” is the address Arkham believes belongs to Dfinity, and it received 107 million ICP from the mint(about 25% of total supply)
There are two types of exchange addresses: central addresses and deposit addresses
- In a nutshell, central addresses are the pot of ICP that an exchange holds
- Deposit addresses hold crypto for a short time before transferring to central addresses
The suspected insiders are some addresses that either received ICP from the Treasury or deposited ICP to a deposit address also used by the Treasury.
Arkham tracked exchange flows and found that the Treasury deposited 3.1 million ICP to exchanges on May 10 and 4.7 million on June 15th
- The exchange deposits on May 10 are typical for providing liquidity on exchanges
- The deposits on June 15
There are 34 suspected insiders that also deposited a lot of ICP to exchanges
- They were sent 34.1 million ICP in total
- About 75% of these transfers occurred within 3 hours of trading open on Coinbase
- The deposits by insiders are made in different amounts, to different exchanges, leading to the assumption that there is no single underlying entity.
- Despite this, many insiders made a large transfer on listing day followed by intermittent deposits post-listing
- They followed this pattern:

Treasury sends 62.5k ICP to insider 2 hours before trading opens
Insider sends 62k ICP to Coinbase/Binance addresses over the course of 5 days after listing
Exchanges move this ICP to central addresses within 20 mins of deposit

Implications

The Treasury and insiders sent about 75% of the total ICP deposited on exchanges.
We can only assume these tokens were sold, as there is no “direct and clear” evidence that they were.
The assumption is safe because:

The price plummeted as these deposits were made
The only thing to do with ICP on an exchange is to sell it

A possible counter argument is that they wanted to use Coinbase for token custody
- This is unlikely because the token holders (Dfinity and insiders) would most likely have the capability to securely store tokens and they would have been incentivized to store them in a way that maintained their custody of them(at the time of the dump, their tokens were worth hundreds of millions).
- Secondly, ICP protocol distributes ICP rewards to holders who lock their tokens in the network. If there is no intent to sell, holders are incentivized to earn rewards rather than store them on exchanges
- Thirdly, and most simply, the historic price drop indicates mass selling.

Off-Chain Analysis

There was a lack of transparency regarding token allocation and unlocking as there is very little public information in the way of token unlock schedules
Contrast this to UniSwap, who released breakdowns for allocation by category of holder, and a breakdown of the unlocking of the treasury
Dfinity’s founder sent a twitter reply claiming:
- “Foundation didn't vest itself but plans on putting most of its ICP into neurons. It is doing this carefully to make sure foundation+team members don't control the network (you wouldn't believe it based upon what you hear, but in actual fact, we care a lot about decentralization!)”
Having no vesting essentially means that token holders are less incentivized to hold their tokens should something happen with the project(like a rug pull, team dump, or VC dump)

Seed Supporter’s Struggles

At time of launch, seed supporters were entitled to about 25% of the total ICP
These initial investors seem to not have been aware of how to access their tokens or how the tokens would unlock until listing day
Dfinity published an article on Medium on how to access seed tokens
- This article explains that seed investors would be subject to a 4-year unlocking schedule:
  - “Seed donors will receive all of their ICP tokens at Genesis Unlock, but these will be staked inside 49voting neurons within the NNS. Each neuron that is delivered will have a different “dissolve delay”configured by the NNS. This configures the minimum period required to unlock the ICP tokens staked inside. One of their neurons will have a dissolve delay of 0 days, allowing the staked ICP tokens to be unlocked immediately, if desired (subject to applicableAML/KYC verification). Another will have a dissolve delay of approximately 30 days, another of 60 days, another of 90 days, and so on.(Note:Configured dissolve delays may have some small random number of days added or subtracted by the NNS).”
The provided set of steps to retrieve seed tokens is complicated and technical, with users reporting bugs.
- The steps could not be performed on Windows or new Macs with M1 chips
Dfinity support was unsurprisingly lacking
- Users on the support forum report being redirected back to the forum after submitting tickets for their issues
- Some users report buying new computers to access their tokens.
If Dfinity intended to dump, it would make sense to effectively disallow seed investors to access and sell their tokens
Many seed investors were forced to watch as they watched what would have been a life-changing investment slip through their fingers

Implications

Any one of these pieces of evidence may easily be swept under the rug as a new project fumbling through release.
As the pieces come together, it seems clear that there was intent behind all of these events.
This rug pull event stresses the need for better analytics on cryptocurrencies
- ICP buyers should have known about suspicious token flows and off-chain activity.

Coinbase Launches High Yield USDC Accounts With 4% APY

Coinbase, the largest exchange in terms of crypto reserves held, has announced the introduction of a savings program tied to usd coin. The company’s high yield USDC savings program allows customers to gain 4% APY interest on stablecoin accounts.

Coinbase Reveals USDC Savings Program With Interest Rates Eight-Times Higher the national average

The cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced pre-enrollment for its usd coin (USDC) savings program that allows clients to earn a 4% APY interest rate on USDC held on the platform.

Coinbase joins firms like Blockfi and Crypto.com that already offer interest on USDC stablecoin holdings. Still, Coinbase highlights in its announcement on Tuesday, that 4% APY on USDC is “more than 8x the national average of high-yield savings accounts.”

“Everyone wants to get the best interest rate available for the assets they hold,” Coinbase explained in a statement. “But interest rates have decreased steadily over the past few decades, making it difficult to earn meaningful passive income on your assets,” the company said. Coinbase added:

The national average for a traditional savings account hovers around 0.07%, with high-yield savings accounts still falling well short of even 1%.

Coinbase’s entry into the stablecoin savings products also follows Circle’s USDC business product, which was launched in November 2020. At the time, Circle revealed the launch of high-yield USDC business accounts with APY up to 10.75%. Additionally, Circle just announced five days ago, it would be launching a new API so companies can connect to high-yield decentralized finance (defi) platforms.

Coinbase and Circle are the founding members of the Centre consortium and with a number of other consortium members, Centre is the issuer and custodian of the usd coin (USDC) project.

In order to get more information on Coinbase’s USDC pre-enrollment, U.S. customers can sign up at the web portal coinbase.com/lend. After an individual gains approval, they will “automatically start to earn 4% APY on the USDC” they hold in their Coinbase account. The company does detail that “APY may change at any time before you start lending.”

What do you think about Coinbase offering 4% APY on USDC holdings? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

Dvision Network Open Beta Test (OBT) Goes Live Ahead of Dvision World Launch

PRESS RELEASE. One of the leading blockchain-based NFT & Metaverse platforms, Dvision Network, has revealed that its long-awaited “Open Beta Test” (OBT) is going live on June 30th 2021. According to Dvision Network, the Open Beta Test launch will be divided into several phases, with the following stages to be announced after the successful completion of the 1st phase. The countdown has already started on their official website: https://dvision.network/.

Open Beta Test to incorporate new NFT features

The Open Beta Test is the test phase that will precede the launch of Dvision World, an ultimate metaverse that will be a major platform of the Dvision Network’s Ecosystem. Dvision Network has integrated new features into the OBT, including My Space, Character Customization, and a community Leaderboard system.

During the OBT, users will be able to fully customize their characters with options like selecting preferred nicknames and desired costumes for their characters, and will further be able to utilize their avatars to enjoy the virtual reality experience within the Dvision World. The avatars are able to implement several cool functions, such as animation, teleportation and socialization, which should boost their performance and enhance the time-spending inside of the metaverse.

The My Space feature provides a tailored virtual space where users can obtain their personal piece of a virtual estate within the Dvision World. Users can also purchase different items to build their virtual space according to their needs and preference.

Dvision World is expected to provide an innovative metaverse experience that will transform the NFT sector. Users will be able to engage in different economic activities by utilizing NFT standards to protect their digital assets like Avatars, Virtual Spaces, and Items within the Dvision Network’s robust NFT Market.

Fast-growing Ecosystem

Although Dvision Network’s OBT is only paving its way towards future development, it is regarded as one of the fastest-growing blockchain-based metaverses in the sector, which has achieved a range of milestones in recent months. As a matter of fact, Dvision Network is currently ranked fifth in the Metaverse Sector right behind Axie Infinity, Sandbox, and Decentraland according to CoinMarketCap. Dvision Network is also regarded to be one of the largest BSC and NFT projects in the space with its current market capitalization, which constitutes around 60 million USD with its floating supply of 21%, whereas FDMC is valued around 260 million USD.

It should also be noted, that Dvision Network team is continuously making significant developments in the marketing and business aspects, holding different cross-promotion activities and campaigns focused on expanding its community. Dvision recently conducted a huge airdrop with leading cryptocurrency price aggregator CoinMarketCap where 150,000 DVI tokens ($65,000) were distributed among 2,000 lucky winners, and before that they did the similar in collaboration with DappRadar. Currently, the Dvision community comprises over 200,000 members across all social media channels.

Previously, Dvision Network has revealed, that they have built the bridge to Binance Smart Chain in collaboration with Curvegrid, and since then, they have continued to make noticeable waves in the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ecosystem, with their participation in the MVB program, followed by their recent AMA on the BSC official channel. Dvision’s upcoming NFT Market is expected to significantly boost their performance level on the Binance Smart Chain, which shall further elevate their position in their ecosystem.

Dvision has also embarked on high-profile partnerships with other blockchain protocols to improve its infrastructure. The NFT metaverse revealed a strategic collaboration with BSC turnkey solution platform Ankr in June. In the nutshell, Dvision Network is utilizing Ankr distributed nodes to power its cross-chain bridge and NFT Marketplace.

Dvision Network native token DVI has also continued to show a decent performance, with its recent rebound of 65% after it took a dive followed by a market downturn led by BTC fall. DVI recently got listed on Indodax and Bittrex, opening up the access to token to more users globally. Indodax is the largest regulated exchange in Indonesia with more than 4 million users, while Bittrex is considered to be one of the reputable and largest platforms in Europe.

About Dvision Network

Dvision Network provides web-based real-time streaming 3D VR metaverse service so that users can easily experience metaverse content such as fairs and games. On the Division platform, anyone can easily create NFT items without any development-related expertise. Division’s NFT trading system enables monetization by directly connecting creators and consumers without intermediaries. This serves to connect the virtual world to reality.

All these products are powered by the Dvision Network utility token DVI, listed on several exchanges, including Uniswap, Bithumb, Coinone, Bittrex, Indodax, and Hoo.

Cryptowisser : Crypto Taxes Will Continue to See a Regulations Increase as Adoption Rises

PRESS RELEASE. June 2021, leading Crypto service comparison site – Cryptowisser, attempts to dissipate the cloud of confusion surrounding tax regulations on crypto currencies around the world. As the tax season comes to a close and a record amount of crypto traders are holding, how do you legally save your crypto?

It is no surprise that as the recent surges and as alt coins continue flooding the market, more and more people are seeing it as a potential way of making money. And the once fabled mysterious currency, is well, becoming more regulated. Like anything else, regulatory boards are catching on and impicating tax laws.

As the Cryptowisser tax essentials report states, the majority of crypto tax either comes from Income Tax or Capital Gains tax.

Tax free crypto conditions still exist –

The report clarifies Geo advantageous spots for crypto traders- Malaysia for example, does not tax crypto trading unless it is a registered business. Other crypto transactions such as donations and “gift sums” are tax free depending on the amount and location.

The report also clarifies that the simplest way to avoid crypto tax is to keep transactions Fiat free. For the most part actually buying crypto has no tax, you can buy as much as you want, only to pay the fees on whatever crypto exchange you decide to use. Wallet to wallet crypto transfers also avoid tax.

Capital Gains Tax on Crypto –

Any investment gain made from crypto currency will be looked at the same as any other investment- and tax will be paid unless in a capital gain tax free country such as New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Singapore etc. In most countries however, that is not that case. Cryptowisser reported on the countries with the highest crypto capital gains tax here. The report also explains taxed crypto transactions such as selling crypto holdings, exchanges and online shopping.

Crypto Income Tax

With the increase of remote based companies, with employees often in other countries, crypto has become a popular payment option. However, any earnings you do make from your employment, crypto or not, has to be declared and paid. Even if you are making gains with mining crypto, tax will be paid.

Concluding Remarks

The future of crypto tax is bittersweet, the more accepted and adopted it is, the more regulation there will inevitably be. Countries with more favourable crypto conditions will attract investors and likely stabilize crypto currency as legal tender leading to a more crypto positive future.

Cryptowisser is a cryptocurrency services comparison site with the world’s largest, most frequently updated and most trusted lists of cryptocurrency exchanges, wallets, debit cards and merchants. With more than 1,000 reviews of the various exchanges, debit cards, wallets and merchants, they help you make all of your purchasing decisions and service choices in the crypto world.

Most people wished to buy BTC for 30K when it was 64k. But now that we can we are too sacred.

Remember when the bull was strong and unstoppable, most people around me wanted to buy BTC. Most of them said and hoped that if BTC was still 30K I would have bought a shit ton of it.

Those mates of mine now still do not buy and are hoping for it to dip to 10k or less. I told them that it is very unlikely. Not impossible but very unlikely. They still held strong and didn't want to buy till it dips more and I believe they won't if it does.

There is a saying and it goes something like this:

Bitcoin’s Hashrate Recoups Some Loss, 2021’s Largest Mining Difficulty Drop Expected Next Week

On Saturday, Bitcoin’s SHA256 hashrate managed to climb back above the 100 exahash per second region after it slid to a low of 91 EH/s three days ago. Meanwhile, in five days the network’s mining difficulty change is approaching and it could see the difficulty drop over 20%.

Bitcoin Hashrate Climbs Back Above 100 EH/s, Difficulty Could Drop More Than 20% Next Week

Statistics show that bitcoin (BTC) miners are processing blocks a lot faster, as the hashrate has improved during the last 48 hours. On June 26, 2021, the network’s hashrate jumped back above the 100 EH/s zone.
The hashrate fell to 91 EH/s on June 23, 2021, following the crackdowns in China stemming from five Chinese provinces with the most recent being Sichuan. Between then and over the last three days, the hashrate has increased 9-13%.

The next mining difficulty drop is expected to happen in five days and at current processing power, it could drop around 20.57%. At the time of writing, the network’s mining difficulty is 19.93 trillion and the change could bring it to 15.83 trillion next week.
Bitcoin’s mining difficulty is essentially the measurement of how difficult it is to find a hash below a given target. When Bitcoin’s hashrate is high, the difficulty will increase, and when the hashrate drops like it did after China’s crackdown, the mining difficulty will drop lower. Therefore making it easier and harder to mine BTC with every fluctuation. Bitcoin’s network difficulty changes every 2,016 blocks or roughly every two weeks.

A lower difficulty will make it easier for bitcoin miners to find blocks and it can be more profitable for miners this month, as bitcoin’s (BTC) price has dropped much lower than it was two weeks ago. The last difficulty change saw the Taproot lock-in take place and the protocol upgrade should activate in November 2021.
There’s approximately 16 known bitcoin mining pools with dedicated SHA256 hashrate directed at the Bitcoin chain. One portion of hashrate is considered “unknown” or mystery hashrate, which currently captures 7.57 EH/s or 7.49% of the global hashrate distribution on Saturday evening (ET).

The top five bitcoin (BTC) mining pools on June 26, 2021, include Antpool, F2pool, Viabtc, Binance Pool, and Poolin. Those five mining pools capture 62.83% of the Bitcoin hashrate, while the rest is processed by 11 known pools and a 7.49% portion of mystery hashrate.
The next difficulty change seems to be pointing toward the largest mining difficulty drop in 2021 thus far. The network did see the largest difficult rise in 2021, with an approximate 21.53% increase, at block height 683,424 on May 13.

What do you think about the hashrate climbing back after the crackdowns in China? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

Stop hoping and waiting for BTC to dip more.

It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. The more people on here saying I’ll buy when it hits $15k, $20k, $25k, etc. are shooting themselves in the foot. We want people to buy. We want new people interested in BTC and crypto and if they all believe this is going to dip, they won’t enter the market and…. The correction/dip will continue. We need buying pressure, not selling. Wouldn’t you rather have everyone going in now, in the low-to-mid $30,000s and just keep buying as it continues to stay sideways or go up? When we start hitting all-time highs, are you really going to care that you bought at $25k vs $30k?

$65k to $30k is the dip. Start buying and stop talking about the hypothetical lower price you’re going to buy at. Some broken record advice… DCA. Invest 1/52nd of what you want to invest in total every week. And if that dip comes that you’ve been waiting for… stop the DCA strategy and and back up the truck to buy as much as you want.
