Openbazaar Launches Version 2.2.2 With Two New Important Features

Openbazaar Users Can Now Trade 1500 Cryptocurrencies With No KYC The Openbazaar development team has released a new version of the platform that adds a few new features and bug fixes. Openbazaar version 2.2.2 was released on July 27 and the application allows for peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trades with a vast quantity of different digital assets. The developers explain that the release includes two major protocol improvements within the Openbazaar environment.     

“The first is the ability for users offering to trade coins to mark up or discount their price — Instead of only being able to offer a trade at market price, they can choose to add a markup, which will automatically increase the price to the buyer based on the percentage they choose,” explains Openbazaar’s announcement blog post.  

They can also choose to offer a discount from market price — The software constantly is updating the market price of the cryptocurrencies involved in the trade, and will add the markup or discount at the moment the trade happens.

The Ability to Trade 1,500+ Cryptocurrencies With No Fees and No KYC/AML Processes

The announcement further details that the second feature includes the major update to how many cryptocurrencies can be traded on Openbazaar. The development team notes that prior to the 2.2.2 release there were about 60 different coins available to trade. Openbazaar has implemented price feeds from the data site Coinmarketcap and there are now 1,500+ coins that can be traded.

Openbazaar Users Can Now Trade 1500 Cryptocurrencies With No KYC “If you want to see if a specific coin is available, download Openbazaar and start the process of creating a cryptocurrency listing,” the Openbazaar developers detail.

As always, there are no fees to pay and no accounts to sign up for — It’s a direct swap of cryptocurrencies between you and the other party, and if you choose a moderated payment (highly recommended) then there’s a third party available in case of dispute.

The cryptocurrency community seemed to like the latest Openbazaar announcement across social media and digital asset focused forums. The biggest plus for most digital currency proponents is the means to buy and sell coins without fees — But people really appreciated the ability to trade without all the annoying KYC/AML processes tethered to more than 90 percent of exchanges out there today.

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. The news outlet noted that some experts have cautioned that these moves, along with the closer relationship that has developed between Moscow and Beijing, point to the likelihood of China attempting to launch a gold-backed currency. However, neither Russia nor China has officially confirmed plans for such a currency. Craig Singleton, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat,...
