🔼A former principal at Fortress Investment Group is reportedly moving to establish a $500 million hedge fund focused on cryptocurrency and blockchain. Even if he isn't setting aside funds to back a cryptocurrency-specific hedge fund, Novogratz made it clear that he intends to take part in what he called "the largest bubble of our lifetimes."

He told Bloomberg:

"This is going to be the largest bubble of our lifetimes. Prices are going to get way ahead of where they should be. You can make a whole lot of money on the way up, and we plan on it."

🔼Germanys biggest bitcoin marketplace, bitcoin.de, will add Ethereum trading soon. This is good news, as it will be the first regulatory compliant Ethereum-FIAT exchange made in Germany for Germany. Many users already can trade in a beta phase. Works flawlessly.

If you think: this is boring news, there are so many Ethereum exchanges out there, keep in mind: the latest regulatory interventions in China show that stable and compliant markets places are urgently needed - especially those that meet local legal requirements. https://goo.gl/Ad9ome

NEO

🔼NEO, often termed the ‘Chinese Ethereum’ took a major price tumble when the announcements regarding Chinese exchanges were made public last week. The price dropped to a low of $13.29 per coin, a massive drop from its peak of $48 exactly 30 days earlier. The price drop was linked directly to the Chinese announcement since NEO is a generally Chinese coin, with most of the trading volume being on Bittrex (45%) and only Bitfinex as a secondary exchange. https://goo.gl/HTG972
