Bitfinex expands beyond crypto, launches equity derivatives that settle in Tether

Crypto exchange Bitfinex has expanded beyond the digital asset space by launching equity index derivatives that settle in Tether (USDT) stablecoin. The new derivatives — Europe 50 and Germany 30 perpetual swaps — offer exposure to traditional stock markets. Europe 50 represents the STOXX Europe 50 index covering 50 stocks from 18 European countries. Germany 30 represents the Deutscher Aktien Index (DAX) of the 30 largest German stocks that trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. This is the first time a crypto exchange has launched an equity product. Bitfinex wanted to broaden the investment universe and enable crypto traders to get exposure to traditional markets on a single platform. Europe 50 and Germany 30 perpetual swaps offer up to 100x leverage. They settle in USDT and therefore helps reduce forex and interest rate risks, said Bitfinex. The new derivatives are available in select jurisdictions and only to "verified users." It means traders would be required to go through the due diligence process to verify and confirm their identity, source of funds, and banking relationships.

Over $150M Drained in KuCoin Crypto Exchange Hack

Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin has been hacked. In a blog post released on Friday night, the exchange disclosed that it had "detected some large withdrawals since September 26, 2020" from its hot wallet. While the exchange has not disclosed the amount lost in the hack, one of the Ethereum addresses associated with the hack shows roughly $150M in funds stolen. On Friday night, users across various social media platform platforms began to complain that they were having issues withdrawing assets from KuCoin. While the KuCoin team assured users that "funds will be safe," that no longer is the case. In a livestream, KuCoin CEO Johnny Lyu reassured his users that funds in this hack will be "covered completely by KuCoin and our insurance fund." Lyu also noted that hacked funds were only "a small part of our total assets holdings" and that KuCoin is currently working with other exchanges like Binance and Huobi and law enforcement to track down the assets.

100M people worldwide now use crypto-based assets, says Cambridge study

Skyrocketing figures show crypto’s growing global dominance. Researchers at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance recently revealed that 100 million people around the world currently hold Bitcoin (BTC) and other blockchain-based assets. In 2018, the 2nd Global Cryptoasset Benchmarking Study estimated the number of identity-verified crypto users at about 35 million globally. As of Q3 2020, there are up to 191 million accounts opened at crypto exchanges — a figure which doesn’t include self-hosted wallets. The study also highlights the geolocation of consumers, as crypto firms operating from North America and Europe “report higher user activity, with the median firm indicating that 40% of total users are considered active.” According to the researchers, this figure was much lower for APAC and Latin America-based firms, which reported a rate of 16% and 10% respectively.
