🗞 Enjin Coin Crypto Soars 70% on Samsung Partnership Confirmation

Gaming cryptocurrency Enjin Coin (ENJ) is up 70 percent after news reports earlier today that confirmed a partnership with South Korean technology giant Samsung.

On Friday, media outlets in South Korea reported the partnership between Enjin, the Singapore-based company behind ENJ, and Samsung’s flagship smartphone S10, was confirmed, which ignited Korea’s investor base to jump in.

When reached out by CoinDesk for comment, Enjin provided confirmation regarding a partnership with Samsung Electronics, the specific entity behind the S10 flagship smartphone, but declined to reveal more details.

🗞 Fidelity Crypto Chief Says Hard Fork May Delay Firm’s Support for Ethereum

Fidelity Digital Assets (FDAS) will take its time about adding support for ethereum, the executive in charge of the new platform said.
The digital asset trading and custody branch of Fidelity Investments, which went live this quarter, has developed an internal framework for evaluating any cryptocurrencies that may be added in the future, according to FDAS president Tom Jessop.

While Jessop has previously said FDAS might look to add ether and other cryptocurrencies, he told CoinDesk Thursday that the process to do so may not be cut-and-dried.

🗞 Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on JPM Coin: Other Banks Won’t Use It

Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of San Francisco blockchain startup Ripple, gave JP Morgan Chase qualified praise Wednesday for creating its own stablecoin, before dismissing the product’s likelihood of adoption by other banks and questioning its usefulness.

During a fireside chat at the Chamber of Digital Commerce’s D.C. Blockchain Summit in Washington, Garlinghouse said he thinks it’s “great” to have major financial players like JP Morgan “leaning in.”

But, he quickly added:

“That’s the only nice thing I’m going to say about this.”

🗞 Japanese Finance Giant Nomura Invests in Smart Contract Auditing Startup

Japan financial group Nomura has invested in Y Combinator-backed smart contract auditing startup Quantstamp.

U.S.-based Quantstamp announced Wednesday that it is setting up a subsidiary in Japan following a “significant” investment from Nomura Holdings and Tokyo-listed internet group Digital Garage.

Chuzaburo Yagi, senior managing director in charge of innovations at Nomura Holdings, said:

“As blockchain technology is adopted in the financial world, smart contracts will play an increasingly important role. Security assurances through auditing and certification will become increasingly indispensable.”

🗞 Leading Social Investing Platform EToro Launches Crypto Services in 31 US States

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

Yesterday, I was saying you that the 0.43$ resistance line was the line to break to continue the UP trend. Look how we broke it and how it triggered that nice UP Break Out. Except the symbolic resistance line at 0.50$, the next technical resistance line is now around 0.58$. Let's see if we can reach that level quickly after a little consolidation which is in preparation now.
