Technical Analysis of ETH/USD for August 31, 2020

Crypto Industry News:

Taras Kulyk, senior vice president of Blockchain Business Development at Core Scientific, says countries competing to become blockchain leaders vary greatly in what they can offer cryptocurrency miners.

In one interview, Kulyk stated that global hashrate diversification is increasing as countries around the world compete for control of the cryptocurrency mining industry. Kulyk believes China is a desirable cryptocurrency mining hub due to the specific factors it enjoys, notably low labor costs, unit access, and reduced energy cost during the rainy season, but explained:

"One of the major economic problems that led to the recent government repression is the theft of power, which local politicians then have to stop. Another key economic problem causing regulatory uncertainty is capital control issues. Both of these factors have made the current regulatory environment in China uncertain. for digital mining companies. The turmoil at the highest political level in any country or jurisdiction is likely to cause current operators to cut planned capital expenditure or, worse, to shut down and relocate. "

Cryptocurrency mining "is extremely capital intensive, he pointed out, which means operators require stability over a long period of time to ensure capital recovery and return on investment." He also warned that political unrest "could disrupt this much-needed stability."

Kulyk pointed out how the new regulations affected competitors in individual countries such as Iran, Ukraine, Canada and Kazakhstan:

"Overall, we are seeing the regulatory burden of digital mining diminishing as it is increasingly seen as a way to revive the assets of the expiration industry to make them useful in the 2.0 technology economy. Governments are turning to their regulatory policy, in particular by making its policy more favorable to mining, in order to gain a competitive advantage over other players in the mining industry. "

With the advent of clarity on cryptocurrency mining legislation, Kulyk believes that "we will continue to watch institutional investors allocate portfolio space to leaders in the field," and concluded that:

The stronger the leadership team and the transparency of ownership and operations, the more likely the company will be a target for investors looking to engage in digital mining.
