Haven Protocol Rises on High Volume
By Adam Sharp on November 2, 2018
Dear Member, Our latest pick, Haven Protocol (XHV), continues to perform well. It’s now up 39% since our initial recommendation and is up 19% today. Today’s move appears to be based on a new announcement that Haven Protocol will offer the ability to convert XHV to stablecoins based on multiple different fiat currencies. It had already announced that users will be able to convert XHV to a dollar-based stablecoin (XHVD). But it has plans to allow users to convert…
Portfolio and Market Update
By Adam Sharp on September 21, 2018
The crypto markets had been holding relatively steady over the past week. Until today, that is, when the prices of most coins suddenly shot higher. The move was led by ripple (XRP), which jumped an impressive 90% to $0.70. We get a lot of questions about ripple, so I thought…
Portfolio and Market Update
By Adam Sharp on September 7, 2018
Dear Member, Altcoins have been taking a hit after a nice bounce over the last week. Bitcoin is down slightly, but everything else is getting hammered. This is natural after such a big bounce. But it could continue for a while. There are still a lot of overvalued projects out…
Portfolio and Crypto Market Update
By Adam Sharp on August 24, 2018
You’ve probably all seen the news that the SEC denied nine crypto ETF proposals on Wednesday. This was no surprise (though the SEC issuing a temporary stay on the denial the next day was). Fortunately, the market reacted appropriately and shrugged off the news. It’s important to note that the…
Portfolio and Crypto Market Update
By Adam Sharp on August 16, 2018
As you all know, the crypto market has been on a brutal slide recently. Here’s where I see it going and how I recommend handling it. As we’ve been saying for a while now, I expect bitcoin to outperform altcoins over the near term. I recommend moving cautiously into altcoins…
Crypto Market Update
By Vin Narayanan on August 10, 2018
As I’m sure many of you have heard, the SEC delayed its decision on the Van Eck bitcoin ETF proposal. The SEC now says it will issue a ruling by September 30 (though it could come earlier). The delay was predictable – so was the market…
Portfolio and Crypto Market Update
By Adam Sharp on July 27, 2018
The institutional potential continues to build in crypto markets. The public and mainstream media are finally starting to digest the fact that we’re on track for an institutional boom (starting with bitcoin). For example, Barron’s just ran an article titled, “Bitcoin’s Hot and Wall Street Wants…
Crypto Market Update and News
By Adam Sharp on June 29, 2018
First, let’s do a quick market update. Markets have been subdued the last few days, with bitcoin trading around the $5,900 level and the overall market hovering around a $235 billion valuation. However, I remain highly optimistic. We continue to see strong signs of growing institutional interest. And legendary venture…
A Quick Look at How Our Coins Are Doing
By Adam Sharp on June 8, 2018
Our portfolio, like the rest of the market, remains in a temporary downtrend. I fully expect this to reverse itself by the end of the year (with the institutional move underway by then), but for now it’s hard to say exactly when. Decred (DCR) Decred has been our strongest performer…
SEC Chief: Bitcoin Not a Security
By Adam Sharp on June 7, 2018
For years, we’ve been thinking about how (and if) the Securities and Exchange Commission would regulate bitcoin. Yesterday, we almost got our answer when SEC Chairman Jay Clayton drew a line in the sand between bitcoin and initial coin offerings (ICOs). And it was mostly good news. “Cryptocurrencies – these…
Crypto Monitor Episode 7: What Does Good Regulation Look Like?
By Adam Sharp on May 11, 2018
One of the biggest things preventing institutional investors from entering the crypto market is regulations. They’re itching to get in, though. This week, we found out the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange is planning on building a bitcoin trading platform for big investors. Goldman Sachs…
Market and Website Update
By Adam Sharp on April 20, 2018
Crypto markets are experiencing a nice bounce. But before we get into the details, a bit of housekeeping. We’ve made some minor upgrades to the Crypto Asset Strategies website. Previously, our archives were not displaying all past updates and content. This was my oversight and has been resolved. You can…
[BREAKING] Bittrex Just Reopened
By Adam Sharp on April 13, 2018
After a four-month pause, Bittrex has reopened to new users. This means that anyone who was unable to register for an account since December now has the opportunity to do so. Remember, Bittrex is one of my two primary recommended exchanges for altcoin purchases.
Portfolio and Market Update
By Adam Sharp on March 30, 2018
Times like these are what make crypto a mental challenge. It’s hard to hold or buy when markets are diving across the board. It gets easier once you’ve been through a few cycles, but for those of you who are new, this must seem awful. So it’s critical to keep…
Crypto Asset Strategies Portfolio Update
By Adam Sharp on March 21, 2018
Crypto market news has been mixed over the last few weeks. On the positive side, billionaire PayPal founder Peter Thiel doubled down on bitcoin in a recent CNBC appearance. He stated that bitcoin would be the “online equivalent of gold,” and that bitcoin was a “hedge of sorts against…
The ICO Landscape Is Changing
By Adam Sharp on March 8, 2018
When I launched this service last year, I planned on having a mix of exchange-traded coin and ICO recommendations. Since then, however, the ICO landscape has changed… dramatically. The recent market pullback has cooled enthusiasm, but that’s not the primary problem. The bigger culprit is the fact that a large…
