Daily Litecoin News Update
Cryptocurrency prices are in a free fall as the crypto mania takes its last breaths. The so-called “cryptocurrency bubble” has finally popped. Prices are now retracing their steps back to the pre-mania levels. Now that we've been nudged awake by reality, it's time to embrace it with open arms.

Look at it this way: in the midst of this chaos, Litecoin has managed to overcome one of its flaws.

It.

Ripple News Update
The main story this morning is Ripple’s dramatic fall below $1.00. It finally happened. And when it did, it inspired even more selling activity, leading XRP prices 30% lower against the U.S. dollar.

The XRP to USD exchange rate was around $0.656241 at the time of writing.

Ripple wasn’t the only one to drop beneath an important benchmark. Bitcoin fell below $10,000, Ethereum below $1,000, and NEM below $0.50. Almost every crypto trended down yesterday.

Will Litecoin Go Up?
Although Bitcoin looms larger in the public consciousness, Litecoin is more developed in some ways. For example, Litecoin survived the implementation of SegWit (Bitcoin hasn’t...at least not yet). And to make matters worse, Litecoin mining pays 25 tokens for every block, while Bitcoin only pays 12.5.

These differences look small at first, but they could have outsize effects on Litecoin price predictions. Later in this report, we’ll break down why SegWit is important, when Bitcoin might reach full activation, and whether.

Ripple News Update
As we wrote a few weeks ago, the market is starting to respect the differences between various cryptocurrencies. XRP is not Ethereum. And Ethereum is not Bitcoin. So why treat them as a group?

This trend is real. But it isn’t happening fast enough to forestall the uncertainty sweeping across crypto markets. Prices are crashing and investors are fleeing. It is brutal to watch.

What’s causing this uncertainty? Maybe it is the onslaught of new regulations or the persistence of cybersecurity threats. Perhaps it’s the mass of ponzi schemes masquerading as legitimate cryptocurrencies. There are any number of things weighing on investors’ minds.

Daily Litecoin News Update
The bloodbath continues in the crypto world as cryptocurrencies edge lower for the fourth consecutive day. There are no second guesses that jumpy investors are, in fact, jumping ship.

But the disciplined investors who continue to “HODL” must find solace in the fact that Litecoin is inching closer to achieving its goals. We have our fingers crossed as we anxiously await the release of the impending Litecoin upgrade.

For readers unaware of the upcoming upgrade, Litecoin founder Charlie Lee announced that it.

Ethereum News Update
Given the ongoing slide in cryptocurrencies, it seems a terrible time for optimism. But I can’t help it. Ethereum prices are holding up better than some of the others, making it a safe-haven crypto asset during these troubled times.

This could lead to the fabled “flippening,” whereby Ethereum replaces Bitcoin as the market leader. It is a game-changing prospect. But before I get ahead of myself, let’s cover some of today’s leading stories.

Markets try to fix initial coin offerings (ICOs). One of the.

Ripple News Update
Despite the epic XRP price crash in January, Ripple’s main partner in East Asia—a Japanese financial services provider called SBI Holdings Inc (TYO:8473)—doubled down on its support. It even launched a digital asset exchange: SBI Virtual Currencies.

At first, this doesn’t sound like big Ripple news. One more exchange. Big deal.

But if you take a closer look at the release, you’ll notice two things:

SBI Securities, a subsidiary of SBI Holdings, has four million brokerage accounts, making it Japan’s biggest online securities company.
XRP is the first crypto listed on the new.

Daily Litecoin News Update
Despite all the recent positive news we’ve shared about Litecoin, LTC prices are still struggling to find a bottom. Cryptocurrency markets at large, and not Litecoin, are to blame here. All of the top cryptocurrencies entered the red zone two days ago and have stayed there since.

As we try to make sense of the situation, it becomes glaringly obvious that fickle investors are once again playing into the hands of market fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). Markets seem to be crashing again and there are two seemingly bad pieces of news driving the sell-off. But as you’ll soon find out, neither affects Litecoin’s.

Blockchain Is the Present & Future
Bitcoin. Blockchain. Cryptocurrencies. These are the buzzwords on everyone’s lips today. Investors are going gaga over these purported “get rich quick” investments. While blockchain-based cryptocurrencies have turned out to be the most sought-after investments of our age, there is also a growing interest in cheap blockchain stocks from investors seeking indirect exposure to this space.

Ethereum News Update
Ethereum prices are proving more resilient than BTC or BCH, but that doesn’t mean they are untouched by this week’s crypto market crash. Ethereum too was affected by the tidal wave of pessimism.

As a result, ETH is trading 4.66% lower against the U.S. dollar.

This puts the Ethereum to USD exchange rate near $1,108.36. However, the Ethereum to Bitcoin rate is up 1.94% to 0.10871 BTC, adding a silver lining to this otherwise depressing news.

At first, I looked to see if trading volumes were driving the ETH price crash. They are not. Investors swapped about $4.6 billion worth of ETH in the last 24 hours. It just so happens that no one wanted higher.

Weiss Cryptocurrency Ratings
Weiss Ratings was all over the news last week for releasing the world's first cryptocurrency ratings. This adds to the list of many firsts achieved in the cryptocurrency world. However, Weiss Ratings' report has attracted its share of criticism and even cyberattacks since then. The agency says that this is the dawn of a cryptocurrency revolution and the blockchain technology powering Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most other cryptocurrencies could radically transform major aspects of our lives.

So, what went wrong?  

Weiss Ratings' crypto list included the top digital tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Dash, as well as 70 other.

Let me begin with a reminder; today is January 30—the day when South Korea’s new cryptocurrency trading rules take effect. From today onward, anonymous cryptocurrency trading has been completely banned in the country. As expected, cryptocurrency markets are remaining cautious about how the new regulations will play out.

All of the top 20 cryptocurrencies, including Litecoin, are blinking red as investors stay spooked in anticipation.

Nonetheless, we now know for certain that South Korea is no longer banning.

Should I Buy Stellar Lumens?
The beginning of 2018 started off on the same note that characterized much—if not all—of 2017. Cryptocurrencies were reaching for the stars as their valuations were ballooning to the stratosphere.

It seemed like this entire sector took a turn for the worse on a dime, and an incredible selloff gripped this market. Cryptocurrency valuations went from around $838.0 billion to $428.0 billion in a span of 10 days. If there was one lesson to be learned by cryptocurrency speculators, it's that, as fast as some of these cryptocurrencies can rise, they can fall just as fast, if not faster.

This selloff has compounded fears that this asset class was.

Yesterday, I said Ethereum is starting to front-run Bitcoin in terms of institutional support. And what happened the same day? A major pension fund launched a $50.0-million cryptocurrency investment fund—and it is based around Ethereum.

The new fund comes courtesy of OMERS, one of Canada’s biggest pension funds. (Source: “.

Ripple News Update
Ripple (XRP) prices kicked off 2018 in the worst way, losing more than 44% in under a month. The sell-off began as a reaction to trouble on the Korean peninsula. But it was made worse by a Bloomberg Businessweek report, which said that Ripple’s corporate partners had no interest in XRP.

Now, however, the dust is settling.

Volatility is easing. Markets are returning to normal. And Ripple is starting to play offense rather than defense.

CEO Brad Garlinghouse took the fight straight to XRP skeptics, beating back the idea that.

Daily Litecoin News Update
A common ill-founded fear in the crypto investor community is that a coin is losing the race if it drops down from its position on the market capitalization rankings. Concerns like these are absolutely fallacious.

For instance, Litecoin slipping down another spot on the crypto rankings yesterday kept some investors up at night. Lesser-known coins like NEO and Stellar are now sitting above it on the ranks.

What investors must not forget, however, is that Litecoin is an “elite” coin, far superior than these largely.

Ripple News Update
Ripple (XRP) prices plunged on Friday morning after a Bloomberg Businessweek report said that banks “have no interest in using XRP.” (Source: "Ripple Wants XRP to Be Bitcoin for Banks. If Only the Banks Wanted It," Bloomberg Businessweek, January 25, 2018.).

Litecoin News Update
Today is another distressing morning for crypto investors. After a brief rally on Thursday, prices are once again cratering on Friday. All of the top cryptos are drowning in red and LTC prices are no different. But like always, I’m looking at the bright side of things.

For instance, the fact that Litecoin just got added to an emerging world exchange renews my hope that new Litecoin buyers may soon enter the market and lend support to prices.

Here’s Why the Stellar Lumens (XLM) Price Skyrocketed
As Ripple (XRP) prices continue to lose steam, a purported “Ripple Killer” is fast catching up. Stellar (XLM) is now sitting at the sixth spot on the list of most valuable cryptocurrencies, after having pushed Litecoin off the podium.

If you follow my work, I’ve been pitching Stellar as a potential multibagger for a while now. This time around, I’ll be flirting with numbers to put a price.

As predicted, the folks at this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland hedged their bets on cryptocurrencies. On one hand, they don’t think Bitcoin is a stable currency; on the other, blockchain is a super-useful technology...for anything other than money.

If you’re wondering why this matters, remember that Davos is where elites gather to form the “conventional wisdom.” Not all of their forecasts pan out—as they’re not omnipotent in the way conspiracy theorists would have us believe—but they are extremely influential nonetheless.

For example, Robert Shiller spoke at a panel about the future of cryptocurrencies. (Source: “.
