Every city and perhaps every company will have its own cryptocurrency.

The Big Apple became the second city in the United States to launch its own cryptocurrency.

The mining of โ€œCityCoinsโ€ is done by sending STX tokens, to a smart contract managed by the city. People or investors who send coins become miners. These are rewarded with a percentage (around 70%) of new CityCoins tokens, and the other percentage (30%) goes to a city-managed portfolio to invest in municipal projects.

This financial strategy has the potential to replace taxes as we know them, by creating funds from mining and crypto DeFi protocols.

In the future, citizens will have the option to vote for the financing of different municipal projects, thus creating more democracy.

Miami was the first city in the United States to have its own cryptocurrency using this same model.

MiamiCoin (MIA) is a way for people to support Magic City and grow their cryptocurrency treasure while earning STX and BTC for themselves.

STX is the token that represents the Stacks protocol, where the โ€œCitycoinsโ€ infrastructure is built on.


๐Ÿ“ˆ All Time Highs (ATH)

On Wednesday November 10th, Bitcoin reached its all-time high by briefly touching $69k. That same day, Ethereum also broke a record by reaching $ 4,878.26 per Ether.

Most of the rest of the crypto market (alt-coins) has been on the downside ever since as many investors choose to exchange their alt-coins for bitcoins and ethers upon seeing an uptrend in these two cryptocurrencies that reign the market.

Adding to the fuel is the exponential adoption growth that we are witnessing.

At the beginning of 2015 there were about 60 million Bitcoin addresses, today we have close to 900 million bitcoin addresses available. (see below)

It is important to note that institutional money has just started to enter this industry in a massive way. A few days ago the first โ€œBitcoin Futures ETFโ€ was approved, but many other ETFs are awaiting approval. The world of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) continues to explore new use case and keep attracting large corporations in their effort to jump on the bandwagon and monetize their digital assets. Additionally, it feels like every day a new DeFi protocol hits the market and with improvements and new investment strategies that allows the multiplication of crypto assets.

Another important measure of the speed of change in the market is the amount of bitcoins that is leaving exchanges. As we can see in the lower graph (yellow line) the balance in the exchanges has fallen precipitously in recent months.

Many of these coins are being sent to cold wallets and other to custodians. The cryptocurrency custody market has a great future and promises profits for those who can have an attractive, safe, and profitable custody model for investors and โ€œhodlers.โ€ Conventional banks are betting on custody to be able to enter the industry and recover some of the disadvantage they already have.
