Bitcoin (BTC) Briefly Below $3,400 as Crypto Landscape Struggles

bitcoin still reels from its recent setbacks as most digital currency trading floors still provide a rather shaky outlook for the crypto as of yesterday.

Uncertainty still looms

BTC global average made a modest climb to $3,469, over the 24-hour course. On Bitfinex, it retreated to $3,504. This is essential because if Bitfinex falls, so does the ₿itcoin market.

Interestingly, Bitfinex has surged higher compared to the rest of the market, as most analysts have noticed of late.

In some instances, the trend results to an uncertain arbitrage opportunity of up to $100. For instance, Litecoin hit the $34 level on the world market average, while EOS struggles to reach the $2.50 mark, but remains at $2.38. On the other hand, Stellar slumps below $0.08, as ₿itcoin SV keeps falling.

BTC momentarily below $3,400

Coinbase trading early yesterday pushed Bitcoin deeper to the $3,399 mark, though momentarily, before bouncing back which merged in the price as of this posting at $3,425.

Going back to Bitfinex, which looks poised to set the bar for majority of the market, BTC/USD pair registered a dismal True Strength Indicator (TSI), while Litecoin finally breached the $34 boundary it has been targeting since last week.

If projections of a downward slide does happen for ₿itcoin  – and Litecoin maintains its strong momentum – a promising altcoin-bitcoin bond may be in the offing.

Meanwhile, Litecoin has dipped below the $34 level over at Coinbase, after peaking at $34.11 for the day. Consistently enough, Litecoin’s volume exceeded $700 million, which is more than EOS or XRP, both of which have greater market cap as we speak.

Nationwide Insurance Rolls Out Proof of Insurance on the RiskBlock Blockchain

The Institutes has announced a new blockchain framework called RiskBlock to provide more streamlined and secure proof of insurance. Nationwide Insurance is the first company to begin rolling out product on the platform.

RiskBlock is the first blockchain framework delivered from the newly formed RiskBlock Alliance and the first of its kind that is designed specifically for the risk management and insurance industry. The Institutes RiskBlock Alliance is an industry-led, insurance-focused consortium that developed the RiskBlock framework.

RiskBlock will provide insurers with real-time verification of insurance coverage; allow law enforcement to verify proof of insurance efficiently without relying on paper forms; provide insurers with a streamlined and cost-effective way to offer proof of insurance; and, in the near future, will allow insured clients to share trusted, third-party verified proof of insurance with a click on their mobile devices.

“The current way that drivers provide proof of insurance is cumbersome and uncertain,” said Christopher G. McDaniel, executive director of The Institutes RiskBlock Alliance in a statement. “Sharing proof of insurance through blockchain is key to streamlining the process of providing proof and marks the start of our efforts to revolutionize many other aspects of the insurance industry. Our collaboration with Nationwide is the first step toward a better overall system.”

The membership of the Alliance includes over 30 companies as members, ranging from the top 10 carriers to brokers and reinsurers. Nationwide Insurance is the first to use the platform in a pilot program to simplify real-time insurance coverage verification, eliminating paper insurance cards and providing a mobile app for real-time verification. ac

The coverage verification is an initial use case and the Alliance anticipates its members will be able to better serve policyholders and reduce costs by streamlining claim payments and premiums, reducing fraud through centralized recording of claims and improving acquisition of new policyholders by validating accuracy of customer data.
