There are more bitcoins on Ethereum than on the Lightning Network




The Lightning Network has long been the best way to transfer bitcoins instantly and at no cost. However, the second layer network may well have a major competitor, namely Ethereum. 

150% more BTC on Ethereum

According to the latest data, there are around 150% more bitcoins in circulation on the Ethereum network than on the Lightning Network .
In fact, the Ethereum network hosts 2,297 BTCs in the form of WBTC , a tokenized version of Bitcoin on Ethereum, or just over $ 20 million, according to data from DeFiPulse.

For its part, the Lightning Network has a capacity of 928 BTC or about $ 8.1 million, as shown by the data from Bitcoinvisuals :
Obviously, these data do not take into account the rate of use of the two solutions . Although there are more bitcoins involved in Ethereum, that doesn't necessarily imply that Ethereum is used more than the Lightning Network for BTC transfer .

Where do all these BTCs come from?

Although this “flippening” between the Lightning Network and Ethereum dates approximately from March 21, Ethereum has taken an additional step ahead following the creation of 1000 WBTC by CoinList on May 11 as pointed out @Alexintosh by PieDAO:

While many netizens speculated around the possibility for CoinList to use its newly created WBTC to generate DAI through MakerDAO , it seems that the company has chosen to transfer them to Nexo , the crypto loan service centralized.

DeFi shock

This trend could well be confirmed in the future, as other decentralized finance protocols on Ethereum will add tokenized versions of bitcoin .
However, the Bitcoin ecosystem has not said its last word and could well regain sovereignty over its assets thanks to the emergence of DeFi platforms on Bitcoin !
Far from being a war, this increase in the number of BTCs on the Ethereum network reflects an increase in interoperability between the two blockchains.

SCRAP A: STARTUP CONFIDO HAS BLEEDED WITH 380 000 EUROS WHICH IT WAS ABOUT TO LEVER

Confido, a startup at the origin of a recent ICO, whose name means in Italian "I trust", seems to have ended its activities, having managed to raise 1,235 Ethers (the equivalent of 382 850 euros according to current prices). The company was supposed to develop a "trustless" payment system - in other words, a system that does not require, through the use of smart contracts, the presence of a trusted third party to carry out value trading. This scam comes as many voices rise to denounce the lack of regulation around the markets of ICOs. "I trust" Logo of confidoVoice what can be read in an article published on Medium by Confido (the article has since been deleted): "Confido goes through the barrier of trust in trade involving crypto-currencies, while remaining decentralized and not requiring trustless third parties" After talking about "legal problems" this weekend, the startup seems to have sought to erase a lot of inform...

Bitcoin: a mysterious Chinese mining pool appears after the halving…

The occurrence  of Bitcoin halving  was the big topic of conversation this week in the cryptosphere.  While one could expect this division by two of the mining awards of BTC to make miners reluctant, it appears on the contrary that a new  mining  pool  has chosen this timing to reveal itself! A mysterious pool called "Lubian.com" According to statistics from  BTC.com  , a new  Bitcoin  mining pool  has  risen to 6th place  in the BTC network's  hashrate  (its computing power). Spotted and listed only since May 12, the  Lubian.com  pool  -  obviously of  Chinese origin  according to its site  - would have started production  just two weeks before the halving  , by mining a first block on  April 27  (the block N ° 627 441 to be precise). As we can see below, this pool contributed  6% of the  total  hashrate  of consensus by Proof...
