Ethereum Faces Psychological Hurdle at $3K: Analysts Highlight Significance
Ethereum faces challenges in sustaining prices above the $3,000 mark, signaling potential selling pressure and underscoring the psychological barrier at this level, according to insights from renowned cryptocurrency analyst Skew. In a recent post on X, Skew expressed reservations about Ethereum's short-term performance, pointing out the reluctance of buyers to maintain prices above the $3,000 threshold, indicating a pattern of selling pressure.
Skew highlighted the importance of $3,000 as a significant psychological barrier for Ethereum's future movements. The analyst stressed the interconnectedness of Ethereum's performance with that of Bitcoin, emphasizing the need to monitor Bitcoin's direction. Skew suggested that Ethereum's performance often correlates with the movements of the flagship cryptocurrency. In the event of a weak Bitcoin market, Skew warned of potential overall market heaviness, leading to unfavorable risk-reward ratios for Ethereum traders. Conversely, a strong Bitcoin market could present numerous opportunities for Ethereum investors.
Investors and traders are advised to remain vigilant and consider the influence of Bitcoin on Ethereum's trajectory. Skew's cautious outlook serves as a reminder of the intricate dynamics at play within the cryptocurrency market, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of both Ethereum-specific factors and broader market conditions.

Bitcoin Inscriptions: Security Flaw Flagged as Cybersecurity Risk by NVD
Tumblr media
The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has raised concerns about a security flaw in Bitcoin's inscriptions, which was exploited in 2022 and 2023 by a protocol called Ordinals. This vulnerability allows data to be hidden as code in certain versions of Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots. The NVD is a database managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which highlights cybersecurity risks for public awareness.
This vulnerability could have a significant impact on the Bitcoin network. It may lead to an influx of non-transactional data flooding the blockchain, causing network congestion, slower processing times, and increased fees. Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr raised the issue on X (formerly Twitter), comparing it to receiving junk mail that slows down the process of finding important messages.
Ordinals, a protocol introduced in late 2022, made data embedding more popular in Bitcoin. It allowed unique digital arts to be directly embedded into Bitcoin transactions, similar to nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum network. However, the volume of Ordinals transactions has led to network congestion and increased fees. If the vulnerability is patched, it could restrict Ordinals inscriptions on the network, potentially affecting the existence of Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens. Existing inscriptions, however, would remain due to the immutability of the network.

Research develops a model of trust in Ethereum token ‘Ether’ payments (TRUSTEP)
My new research developed a model of trust in making payments with the Ethereum (Zarifis, 2023). I published the first peer reviewed research on trust in payments with Bitcoin in 2014 (Zarifis et al. 2014), and I wanted to apply my experience from that to understanding the consumer’s perspective to making Ethereum payments.
Ethereum is being utilised in various ways, including smart contracts and payments. Despite some similarities with Bitcoin, Ethereum is a different technology, with different governance and support.
Ethereum payments require digital wallets and the process is different to paying in traditional fiat currencies like the Euro. When a person wants to take an action without controlling all the parameters, and some risk is unavoidable, trust is necessary.
Tumblr media
Figure 1. Model of trust in making Ethereum payments, TRUSTEP
The model demystifies how trust is built in consumer payments with Ethereum. The model starts with the individual’s predisposition and then covers the factors from the specific context of Ethereum payments. From the person’s individual characteristics, their willingness to innovate in finance and technology have a role. There are then five variables from the contexts: Adoption and reputation, stable value and low transaction fees, effective regulation, payment intermediaries and trust in the seller. The personal and contextual factors together influence trust in the Ethereum payment process and making a payment with Ether.
While the model has similarities to previous models of trust, such as the role of each individual’s psychological predisposition and the role of reputation, the role of institutions such as regulators and the importance of trust in the retailer, the distinct characteristics of Ethereum also play a role. In fact, the factors related to the distinct characteristics of Ethereum have the strongest support based on the average of the responses. This research can be added to a growing body of research in trust that illustrates how users’ beliefs in each cryptocurrency need to be explored separately.
Furthermore, the role of the organizations involved in the payment process are shown. While trust in the retailer is usually a factor in retail payments, the regulators and payment intermediaries are not always a significant factor, so it is a useful contribution to show that this is the case here.
That is what I want to share with you here. If you have experiences related to what I am talking about, please let me know, I would love to hear from you.

A Coinbase introduziu recentemente o cbBTC, uma versão encapsulada do Bitcoin projetada para integrar-se com aplicativos de finanças descentralizadas (DeFi) nas redes Ethereum e Base. Este novo produto visa expandir a utilidade do Bitcoin além da simples retenção ou negociação, permitindo que os usuários participem de várias atividades DeFi sem converter seu Bitcoin em outras criptomoedas.O cbBTC é apoiado 1:1 pelo Bitcoin mantido sob custódia da Coinbase, permitindo transferências contínuas entre as redes Bitcoin e Ethereum ou Base. Os usuários agora podem se envolver com plataformas DeFi populares como Uniswap, Aave, Compound e Curve usando seus ativos de Bitcoin. O lançamento do cbBTC marca um passo significativo em direção à criação de um ecossistema financeiro mais interconectado e potencialmente acelerando a adoção do Bitcoin em todas as plataformas DeFi.No entanto, a introdução do cbBTC não foi isenta de controvérsias. O fundador da TRON, Justin Sun, expressou preocupações sobre o produto na plataforma de mídia social X. Sun criticou o cbBTC por não ter prova de reserva e auditorias, sugerindo que a Coinbase poderia congelar e colocar endereços de transações com o cbBTC na lista negra. Ele argumentou que esse nível de controle contradiz a natureza descentralizada do Bitcoin e representa riscos de segurança para os protocolos DeFi. try window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () window._mNDetails.loadTag('497637413', '300x150', '497637413'); ); catch (error) try window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () window._mNDetails.loadTag('615355918', '728x90', '615355918'); ); catch (error) Os comentários de Sun desencadearam um debate sobre o papel das entidades centralizadas no ecossistema de criptomoedas. Ele se referiu ao cbBTC como “btc do banco central”, sugerindo que isso vai contra a visão original do criador do Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.cbbtc=banco central btc.

Proposed change could save Ethereum from L2 'roadmap to hell'
If you believe Ethereum’s legion of critics on X, the blockchain is dying. On one side, it’s being beaten as ultra-sound money by Bitcoin, and on the other, it is outdone by faster and cheaper transactions by Solana. Fee revenue for the layer 1 has “collapsed” by 99% in the past six months as “extractive L2s” steal all the users, transactions and fee revenue while paying virtually nothing to the…

LATAM Crypto Roundup: Argentina Protects Scam Victims, Bancolombia’s Wenia Integrates Solana, and More - Information Today Online - #GLOBAL https://www.merchant-business.com/latam-crypto-roundup-argentina-protects-scam-victims-bancolombias-wenia-integrates-solana-and-more/?feed_id=200237&_unique_id=66e6d478eab07 BeInCrypto comprehensive Latam Crypto Roundup brings Latin America’s most important news and trends. With reporters in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and more, we cover the latest updates and insights from the region’s crypto scene.This week’s roundup highlights Argentina’s efforts to protect cryptocurrency scam victims, Bancolombia’s integration of the Solana and Arbitrum networks, along with other key stories.Bancolombia’s Wenia Expands with Solana and Arbitrum IntegrationBancolombia’s crypto platform, Wenia, has expanded its offerings by integrating the Solana and Arbitrum networks, allowing users to transfer Ethereum (ETH) via Arbitrum. This update aims to enhance user experience with lower transaction fees and faster processing times.The inclusion of Solana and Arbitrum positions Wenia as a competitive force in the region, particularly with Arbitrum’s scalability advantages over Ethereum. Wenia noted that this move aligns the platform with a global trend favoring more efficient blockchain networks.“We have an invitation you’re going to love! Arbitrum and Solana networks are now available on Wenia App, and our crypto specialist Rafael Santamaría will tell you everything in a takeover this Friday, September 13, on our Telegram channel. Don’t miss it!” the platform announced via its X account.Read more: Crypto vs. Banking: Which Is a Smarter Choice?Since its launch, Wenia has offered a variety of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, MATIC, and the COPW stablecoin. The platform also allows users to view detailed reports on the reserves backing the COPW stablecoin through its Reserve Test feature.Earlier this year, Wenia introduced Chainlink’s Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) services to enhance transparency in its holdings.“On-chain Proof of Reserve data is a critical component for digital asset adoption and serves as a springboard toward increasing consumer confidence in the use of stablecoins and other tokenized assets. We chose Chainlink for its industry-leading platform,” said Pablo Arboleda, CEO of Wenia.Enegix Global Taps Natural Gas for New Crypto Mining Data Center in BrazilEnegix Global has announced plans to use isolated natural gas as the energy source for its upcoming cryptocurrency mining data center in Brazil. Set to launch this November, the facility will initially have a 25-megawatt (MW) capacity, with plans to expand to 80 MW.The isolated natural gas, found in areas with limited infrastructure, offers a cleaner energy alternative for mining operations, particularly in regions rich in gas reserves. This move aligns with Brazil’s growing reputation for both cryptocurrency adoption and renewable energy innovation.“In addition to being considered one of the largest cryptocurrency adoption markets in the world, Brazil has ideal conditions to attract the digital mining industry as well. With clean energy sources, such as isolated natural gas and hydroelectric power plants, the country favors the promotion of sustainability in the sector and at the same time presents favorable conditions for operating costs and electricity generation,” Enegix CEO Yerbolsyn Sarsenov stated.Read more: Is Crypto Mining Profitable in 2024?The project aims to support the mining of Bitcoin and altcoins while enhancing Enegix’s power management capabilities by over 30%.Latam Countries Rank Among Top 20 With Highest Crypto AdoptionAccording to the latest report from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, and Argentina are among the top 20 countries globally with the highest cryptocurrency adoption rates. These Latin American nations join others like India, Nigeria, and the United States in leading the world in crypto usage and transfers.
Chainalysis’ global adoption index highlights the role of Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in driving BTC activity in North America and Western Europe. In contrast, stablecoins have had a more significant impact in regions such as Africa and Latin America.“Between Q4 2023 and Q1 2024, the total value of global crypto activity increased substantially, reaching higher levels than 2021 during the cryptocurrency bull market. This year, cryptocurrency activity increased in countries at all income levels, with a pullback in high-income countries from early 2024,” the report noted.Read more: Top 9 Crypto Friendly Countries For Digital Assets InvestorsGlobal Crypto Activity. Source: ChainalysisIn Latin America, Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, and Argentina are leading the charge. The report also notes a significant increase in global cryptocurrency activity between Q4 2023 and Q1 2024, surpassing the levels seen during the 2021 bull market. Cryptocurrency usage grew across all income levels, although high-income countries saw a slight decline in early 2024.Fundación Blockchain Argentina to Offer Legal Support to Cryptocurrency Scam VictimsFundación Blockchain Argentina has launched a new initiative aimed at protecting cryptocurrency users by offering free legal advice to victims of scams. Led by Dr. Sabrina Scavone, the program aims to provide guidance to individuals who have fallen prey to cryptocurrency-related fraud. As investments in digital assets, such as Bitcoin, continue to rise, so too have incidents of scams, creating concern within the crypto community.The service focuses on offering specialized legal advice to those who have suffered financial losses from Ponzi schemes, fraudulent investments, or phishing attacks. The Foundation’s move follows a significant increase in such crimes, with reports indicating millions of dollars lost to hacks and scams. The service will provide victims with a thorough analysis of their legal options and clear steps for pursuing their cases.Guido Zatloukal, president of Fundación Blockchain Argentina, highlighted that this initiative reflects the organization’s commitment to the safety and well-being of the country’s crypto community.Read more: 15 Most Common Crypto Scams To Look Out ForSabrina Scavone also stressed the importance of creating a more secure and transparent cryptocurrency ecosystem, noting that legal tools can be crucial for those affected by such crimes. With the rise of fraud, Fundación Blockchain Argentina strengthens its role in promoting blockchain education and development, now extending its efforts to include legal support.Venezuelan Authorities Seize 35 Bitcoin Mining Machines Amid Regulatory UncertaintyOn September 6, 2024, Venezuelan authorities, led by the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) and the Public Prosecutor’s Office, seized 35 Bitcoin mining machines in the state of Guárico. The operation, sanctioned by the 3rd Control Court of San Juan de los Morros, also resulted in the confiscation of 30 extractors, several industrial fans, and two vehicles. The raid occurred due to the lack of necessary permits for operating the mining farm.In Venezuela, cryptocurrency mining is heavily regulated, requiring authorization from the National Superintendence of Cryptoassets (Sunacrip). However, since Sunacrip was suspended in 2023 amid a corruption scandal involving state oil company PDVSA, the crypto industry has been left without a clear regulatory framework.This regulatory void has created challenges for miners. Many argue that they lack the guidance to operate legally, resulting in interventions like the one in Guárico. High energy consumption from Bitcoin mining, particularly from ASIC machines, has been a key issue, exacerbating Venezuela’s ongoing energy crisis. Frequent blackouts have prompted the government to disconnect mining farms from the National Electric System (SEN), aiming to stabilize power for citizens.Read more: Crypto Regulation: What Are the Benefits
and Drawbacks?President Nicolás Maduro recently stated that cryptocurrencies would become a priority on his political agenda, but details on restoring Sunacrip or clarifying regulations remain vague. Until then, the uncertainty surrounding Bitcoin mining in Venezuela continues, with miners left exposed to legal action and sanctions. Similar crackdowns have been reported in Paraguay, where protecting the electricity grid is also cited as the primary reason for such interventions.As the Latam crypto scene grows, these stories highlight the region’s increasing influence in the global market.

The operation, sanctioned by the 3rd Control Court of San Juan de los Morros, also resulted in the confiscation of 30 extractors, several industrial fans, and two vehicles. The raid occurred due to the lack of necessary permits for operating the mining farm.In Venezuela, cryptocurrency mining is heavily regulated, requiring authorization from the National Superintendence of Cryptoassets (Sunacrip). However, since Sunacrip was suspended in 2023 amid a corruption scandal involving state oil company PDVSA, the crypto industry has been left without a clear regulatory framework.This regulatory void has created challenges for miners. Many argue that they lack the guidance to operate legally, resulting in interventions like the one in Guárico. High energy consumption from Bitcoin mining, particularly from ASIC machines, has been a key issue, exacerbating Venezuela’s ongoing energy crisis. Frequent blackouts have prompted the government to disconnect mining farms from the National Electric System (SEN), aiming to stabilize power for citizens.Read more: Crypto Regulation: What Are the Benefits
