Global Cryptocurrency Markets Improve in February as Bitcoin Rises Again
PALM BEACH, Florida, February 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary
The global cryptocurrency market is evening out risk-wise as prices of bitcoin and other prominent digital currencies continue to steadily rise. Based on the current political and regulatory climate, it isn't expected that any overarching policies that could affect the market will be implemented in the near future. Bitcoin is currently trading up 6% with this week, with its price hovering just above $11,500. The sentiment appears to be changing for crpytocurrency, which may start bringing in more investors to the space. And if this softening of regulations brings investors into bitcoin, which some industry professionals believe will happen, there could be even more buyers kicking in around the $12,000 level. Active companies today include:Block One Capital Inc. (TSX-V: BLOK) (OTC: BKPPF), Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. (TSX-V: BLOC) (OTC: BLKCF), Glance Technologies Inc.

In other industry news and developments:
Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. (TSX-V: BLOC.V) (OTC: BLKCF) recently announced its $2 million investment in the private token offering of MEvU, a product of Decent Tech Inc. ("MEvU"). The sports betting market's magnitude is astonishing. By the American Gaming Association's estimation, approximately US $400 billion are wagered on sports bets every year. To put that figure into perspective, that is more than the entire 2017 national GDP of the United Arab Emirates, or more than a quarter of Australia's. One element that makes this area possibly unattractive to investors is the fact that 99% of this wagering volume is done illegally. With regulatory and accountability concerns, sports betting has long been off-limits for cautious investors. With its blockchain-based wagering platform, MEvU introduces a self-regulating way for users to place bets against other users; instead of a "house"-type opponent such as a casino or a bookmaker.
