Over 180,000 Users Have Claimed Over 110 Million UNI tokens

Over 74% of the claimable UNI tokens have been obtained by over 140,000 Ethereum addresses so far, according to available data from Duneanalytics.

The UNI token is the governance token of the decentralized exchange Uniswap. It was launched this month, and has a total initial supply of 1 billion, with 150 million being made available for users who used the protocol, SOCKS token holders, and liquidity providers.

A total of 110.8 million tokens have so far been claimed by over 180,000 users. Of these users, 141,000 addresses claimed 400 UNI tokens for having used Uniswap before the token was launched. Each UNI token is currently trading above $5, meaning the airdrop is now worth over $2,000.

Blockchain Capital Becomes Libra Association’s Twenty-Seventh Member

Blockchain Capital has become the Libra Association’s twenty-seventh member, and is set to assist with building a blockchain-based payment system to support financial services innovation.

The addition comes three months after the Facebook-led cryptocurrency project added Singapore investment giant Temasek and venture firms Paradigm and Slow Ventures. Tagomi, The Block reports, is no longer listed as an independent member of the Libra Association, after being acquired by another member, Coinbase.

Libra has been working to launch its fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies over the last few months, after it released an updated version of its white paper and applied for the payment license from Switzerland's Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).

World’s Largest Sovereign Wealth Fund Reportedly Holds 600 BTC Indirectly

The Norwegian Government Pension Fund, also known as the Oil Fund, has over $1 trillion in assets and is considered the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. A new report published by Arcane Research shows the fund owns almost 600 bitcoin indirectly, through investment holdings.

Arcane Research's data shows that the Norwegian oil fund has 577.8 BC through its investment in the billion-dollar business intelligence firm MicroStrategy, which acquired a total of 38,250 BTC through a $425 million investment in the cryptocurrency.

The Norwegian Government Pension Fund has a 1.51% stake in MicroStrategy, and according to Arcane Research’s calculations, it indirectly holds 577.6 BTC, worth over $6 million. Moreover, two major investment advisory companies, BlackRock Fund Advisors and the Vanguard Group, have a  15.24% stake (5829.30 BTC) and a share of 11.72% (4482.90 BTC) in MicroStrategy, respectively.

OXT, ADX, DGB Are Moving the Crypto Market

There are several tokens leading the charge in the last 24-hour period. Some of these are well-known cryptocurrencies with rather liquid trading pairs, so we’ll be focusing on these over low-cap cryptos who may have higher percentage changes.

Orchid Protocol (OXT) – Orchid, a cryptocurrency that runs on the Ethereum blockchain and is used to pay for a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service, has moved up 38.8% in the last 24 hours.

AdEx (ADX) – Decentralized ad exchange AdEx, which runs on the Ethereum network, has seen the price of its ADX token move up 12.66% in the last 24-hour period, one month after it was upgraded to enter the DeFi space.

DigiByte (DGB) – DigiByte, a blockchain network that adopted Bitcoin’s “21” figured but increased it to 21 billion and has over 5 algorithms to mine to keep mining decentralized, has seen its price move up over 20% in the last 24 hours.

Secure Your Cryptoassets: Get 20% Off On a Ledger Hardware Wallet

If you have ever invested in cryptocurrencies chances are you know hardware wallets to store your assets offline are more secure than so-called hot wallets. Hot wallets are connected to the internet, which means that if hackers compromise your computer or mobile device they can get to your crypto.

Hardware wallets, on the other hand, store your assets offline. Even if hackers get to your personal devices, your cryptoassets will remain secure. The problem is hardware wallets are often expensive and some users choose not to buy them.

Cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger is running a back to school campaign from September 7 to September 21, in which you can get 20% off by using this link. Use the link and get a Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S with a 20% discount.

CryptoCompare has reviewed the Ledger Nano X in the past: it’s a Bluetooth-enabled hardware wallet that supports over 1,000 cryptoassets. Our users seem to love it.
