Michael Novogratz, a well-known cryptocurrency enthusiast and founder of the Galaxy Digital investment bank, believes that large institutional investors will start investing in the cryptocurrency industry next year.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recalled the guidelines on primary token allocation (ICO) on its Twitter account. The dedicated section of the regulator's website lists five aspects of the ICO that consumers should be aware. In addition, the SEC has posted information for investors and marketing specialists in the section.

The information has been on the site since last year, but the SEC decided to draw attention to it on social networks this weekend amid ongoing debates about regulating the industry. This material is notable for the fact that the SEC explains its principles regarding ICO in accessible language - it is much easier for all interested parties to familiarize themselves with the information in this format.

CFO and co-founder of Blocktower Capital investment company Ari Paul said that although people say that blockchain is not Bitcoin, he believes that the real turning point will come when people realize that Bitcoin is more than blockchain, and it can create a new wave of using cryptocurrencies in real life.

"Bitcoin blockchain is first generation technology with limited throughput and features.

BTC can be used on other protocols and networks. The Lightning Network is a layer 2 protocol that allows for numerous fast and cheap BTC transfers that settle to and are secured by the Bitcoin network. People may also use sidechains, drivechains, and other L2 or L3 solutions.

Vitecoin prepares for the launch after a successful private Beta in Mauritius

Vitecoin (VT) prepares for the launch after a successful private Beta in Mauritius, with more than 1000 early adopters. The successful figure of a thousand people was part of the acid test for Vite. Moving safely and affordable is a constant need among citizens, but public transport is fundamentally slow and inefficient and can no longer keep up with demand. The centralization of industrial jobs together with the limited space in cities requires rapid and scalable transportation services. Cities have ostensibly grown more than services and staff.

Therefore, the test had to be done with a significant number of participants. Local taxis have found to be a clear competitor. The services of shared trips have contributed to the fact that usual taxi users have a plan B. Ridesharing services like Vite provide the tools for customers to leave direct feedback about drivers and the quality of trips experienced hence raising the standards of convenience and most importantly safety. For insecure or incompetent drivers there is no place. It is known that in all sectors, monopolies do not favour the true users of a service. They offer a poor and sometimes abusive client experience .

Yesterday, the network did not receive officially confirmed information that was allegedly provided by one of the investors in the Telegram Open Network project (TON). Sources claim that the submitted document contains actual data on the readiness of the project.

Previously it was assumed that the launch will take place at the end of January, however, expectations did not materialize due to the fact that "the company took more time to create additional algorithms."
