VanEck’s director of digital asset strategy Gabor Gurbacs tweeted the news Nov. 27. Gurbacs revealed the partnership at the Consensus:Invest crypto conference in New City. The announcement echoes yesterday’s report from Bloomberg, citing “two people familiar with the matter,” that Nasdaq would be rolling out a futures contract as early as Q1 ‘19.

During the recent days, the “hash wars” surrounding the Cash hard fork have intensified. As predicted by the Osiris Team, the pool .com representing over 40% of the hash rate post-fork has slowed its mining. Miners supporting the chain have capitalised on this opportunity and, for a brief period of time, have gained the lead in terms of blocks mined and the network hash rate, chain being 32 blocks ahead and controlling 71% of the hash rate for a brief period (Source: ). However, this advantage was short-lived, as the chain has quickly caught up almost immediately. As for now, the chain is leading once again, with an outstanding 55 block-advantage and over 67% of hash rate (Sources: , ). Just as the Osiris Team has asserted previously, the chain remains much more concentrated in terms of hashing power distribution, with its native pool mining over 60% of the recent blocks in the chain. The chain shows a much more balanced picture, with no pool having more than 30% of the mined blocks. In terms of mining profitability, the chain is extremely volatile, currently being 28% more profitable to mine on than (before price hike, it used to be twice as profitable to mine on the chain). , in turn, manages to secure a robust advantage in terms of mining profitability compared to , fluctuating from 5% to 15% depending on the current price. This remains a major factor in explaining the diverse mix of mining pools currently working on the chain (Source: ). The Osiris Team, despite acknowledging the unfortunate downward trend of the recent days, reminds that has overall performed comparatively well to the market in general, and, due to fundamental factors outlined above, remains on the coin.
