Bitcoin Gets a Decentralized Exchange as Cosmos Native Osmosis Activates Bridge

Published

on

Osmosis, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built for the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem, has opened a bridge to the Bitcoin network, as part of a pivot toward the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

The decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that governs Osmosis <a href=»https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2024/06/21/cosmos-dao-osmosis-to-adopt-fee-free-bitcoin-bridge» target=»_blank»>voted in favor of adopting Bitcoin bridge Nomic</a> in June. The integration went live on Tuesday.

Nomic’s bridge now enables users to deposit their BTC on the Bitcoin network in return for a token called alloyed BTC (allBTC) on Osmosis.

«In leveraging Nomic’s decentralized custody engine and offering zero-fee transactions, Osmosis is becoming a decentralized Bitcoin exchange,» a spokesperson told CoinDesk in a Telegram message.

The project’s aim is to give traders the user experience of popular centralized exchanges but with decentralized custody of BTC.

Osmosis is one of several projects attempting to leverage the value tied up in BTC, which is by far the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, to bring liquidity to the broader crypto world.

Bitcoin dominance — a measurement of what percent of the total crypto market BTC accounts for — <a href=»https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTC.D/» target=»_blank»>hit 60% last month for the first time since March 2021</a>, highlighting the massive wealth of bitcoin reserves compared to that which exists in any other asset.

«I’ve always personally been pretty Bitcoin maxi,» Osmosis co-founder Sunny Aggarwal said in an interview with CoinDesk.

Bitcoin «maxi,» an abbreviation of «maximalist,» is a term for people who believe BTC is the only cryptocurrency (or currency of any kind) that is needed.

«I’m bullish on bitcoin dominance. That’s the biggest market and so we want to take a big chunk of it,» Aggarwal said.

Aggarwal describes Osmosis as a DEX for assets that don’t have their own native DEXs, as opposed to tokens that are built on Ethereum or Solana, where there are plenty of native decentralized exchanges to choose from.

«We’re one of the primary DEXs for app chains and most of them were probably built using the Cosmos stack, so we have about a 95% share of DEXs in the Cosmos ecosystem,» he told CoinDesk.

«That’s why we’re looking at what other assets don’t have their own DEXs, and the obvious one is bitcoin, so BTC is going to grow to be more and more a core piece of our strategy.»

A Small Food Firm Buys 21 bitcoin, Jumping on BTC Treasury Trend, Shares Fall Anyways

Published

on

By

DDC Enterprise (DDC), an Asian food company, has announced the acquisition of 21 BTC as part of a long-term plan to incorporate the cryptocurrency into its corporate treasury.

The company, led by founder and CEO Norma Chu, exchanged 254,333 class A ordinary shares for BTC, in a transaction valued at roughly $2.28 million, according to a press release.

The move positions DDC among a growing cohort of public companies using BTC as a treasury asset. Two more purchases totaling 79 BTC are expected in the coming days, bringing the company’s initial holdings to 100 BTC.

In a shareholder letter issued last week, Chu outlined plans to accumulate up to 500 BTC within six months and aim for 5,000 BTC in three years.

While companies adopting bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset often see major price rises, DDC saw the opposite. The company’s shares dropped more than 12% on Friday’s trading session, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.6% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 1%.

DigiAsia (FAAS), for example, saw its share prices surge more than 90% in a single trading session after announcing a $100 million BTC treasury plan earlier this month.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has stabilized following significant price volatility, establishing a consolidation pattern between $0.00001440 and $0.00001456.

The meme token faced intense selling pressure with volume reaching 1.72 trillion during peak decline, but multiple tests of support at $0.00001440 showed strong buyer interest.

Despite short-term fluctuations, blockchain data reveals remarkable holder loyalty, with over 1.13 million addresses maintaining their positions for more than a year, signaling confidence in SHIB’s long-term prospects.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem continues development with a significant Shibarium blockchain update focused on improving decentralization. This aligns with the team’s strategy to enhance utility beyond meme status.

While technical indicators show mixed signals with moderate bullish momentum but lacking strong breakout confirmation, AI predictions from platforms like Google’s Gemini suggest potential growth to $0.00003 by 2025, representing a possible 105.9% increase from current levels.

Technical Analysis Highlights

  • In the past hour, SHIB experienced significant downward pressure, dropping from 0.00001448 to 0.00001440, representing a 0.56% decline.
  • The token faced intense selling between 13:54-13:57, with volume spiking to 16.45 trillion at 13:57, creating a local bottom at 0.00001430.
  • A brief recovery attempt occurred at 14:01 when price rebounded to 0.00001441, forming a potential support zone between 0.00001439-0.00001440, though momentum remains bearish as evidenced by the inability to reclaim the 0.00001445 resistance level.
