What Is a Man-in-the-Middle Attack (#MITM)?
In cryptocurrency or computer security, a man-in-the-middle attack (#MITM) attack is a general term for a cyberattack where a perpetrator positions himself in a conversation between two parties either to secretly eavesdrop, intercept communication or modify traffic traveling between the two. The two parties who believe that they are directly communicating with each other are communicating or sharing information with a third party, making it appear as if a normal exchange of information is underway. The perpetrator must be able to intercept all relevant messages passing between the two victims and inject new ones. In most cases it is easy; for example, an unencrypted WIFI can be used by an attacker to place himself as a middle man in a conversation. MITM attacks are a tactical means to an end to stealing, for example, login credentials or personal information like a private key, spy on the victim, or sabotage communications or corrupt data. encryption can help protect against MITM. However, successful attackers will either reroute traffic to phishing sites designed to look legitimate or simply pass on traffic to its intended destination once harvested or recorded, meaning detection of such attacks is incredibly difficult.
As #MITMs try to avoid mutual authentication, it can only succeed when the perpetrator successfully impersonates each endpoint sufficiently enough to make them believe. Endpoint authentication is used by Most cryptographic protocols in an attempt to prevent MITM attacks. For example, TLS can authenticate one or both parties using a mutually trusted certificate of trust. A man-in-the-middle Attack (MITM) should not be confused with meet-in-the-middle Attack.
#ADA gave a early breakout with a daily candle closure, but to turn truly bullish, it been a matter to break above the Flip Area/ Resistance (Blue Box) around $0.54 - $0.55. After a clean break, we can have clean buys above the zone with a retest.

A pattern of profit realization has emerged, reflecting the current market sentiment. The provided chart illustrates the average profit or loss per coin sent to exchanges. During the peak of #ETF speculation, this metric surged to an average profit of $3.1K, coinciding with the climax of the April 2023 rally. However, this figure pales in comparison to the $10.5k average profit recorded during the peak of the 2021 bull market. The recent decline suggests a significant cooling off, indicating a potential shift in market dynamics.

Benefits of Loan-to-Value in Crypto Lending
The beauty of Loan-to-Value (LTV) in crypto lending lies in its dual role—it serves as a safeguard for lenders while empowering borrowers to gauge and manage their own risk effectively. In the realm of traditional collateral-based lending, LTV acts as a litmus test for risk, where a higher LTV translates to elevated risk for the lender, leading to an increased interest rate for the borrower. The correlation is clear: the more substantial the loan compared to the collateral, the riskier the venture.
Now, enter the world of crypto-backed loans, and the LTV takes on a pivotal role in ensuring the timely and complete repayment of loans. The LTV becomes the linchpin of risk mitigation for investors. In the event that a borrower is unable to fulfill their repayment obligations, the safety net kicks in—part of the collateral is liquidated to offset the outstanding loan amount. This mechanism not only protects the lender from potential losses but also fosters a sense of security in the overall lending ecosystem.
For borrowers, the LTV ratio becomes a powerful tool for self-assessment. Picture it as your personal risk-o-meter. Different lending platforms offer varying LTV ratios, spanning from a conservative 5% to a more daring 70%. Opting for a lower LTV provides you with a cushion of safety. Should the market experience a downturn, your assets are less likely to face immediate liquidation, granting you time and breathing space to navigate through market fluctuations.
On the flip side, embracing a higher LTV means you're playing in the fast lane. Extraordinary market situations demand swift decision-making, as your collateral becomes more susceptible to liquidation in order to settle the outstanding loan. It's a high-stakes game that necessitates a keen awareness of market dynamics and the ability to make nimble moves.
In essence, the benefits of Loan-to-Value in crypto lending extend beyond a mere risk metric. It's a dynamic tool that balances the interests of lenders and borrowers, fostering a symbiotic relationship within the crypto lending landscape. As investors seek security, and borrowers navigate risk, the LTV emerges as a crucial factor, orchestrating a harmonious dance between risk and reward in the ever-evolving crypto financial arena.

Here's the Analysis of #RNDR :
#RNDR moving inside the small uptrend channel approached the strong resistance zone of $4.89 - $4.96. Price moved the market structure to bearish and hodling nearby the bottom line of the channel pattern. So, with that bearish structure, expected a break to happen, and shorting only after a retest of the pattern.
The largest increase in liveliness since the Dec-2022 capitulation event. This again supports the above analysis, denoting an increase in Coinday Destruction as some investors part ways with a portion of their long-held coins.
However, when viewed in a macro context, Liveliness remains near multi-year lows, suggesting that the dominant majority of the supply remains tightly held, arguably waiting for higher spot prices, or perhaps increased volatility as a motivator to spend.
#BTC made a weekly closing with the rejection and as per our daily analysis price is expected back to retest the major support zone and the probability of breaking/ deeper retracement is increased. Looking into the H4 TF, its going same, as expected a range, so have a eye on retest now.

#ETH UPDATE :
#ETH goes as said, price made its way through the major resistance zone of with a daily candle closure. We attached a Daily TF SS, price made a retest and strongly jumped. Market structure is moving bullish, and as long as price hodl above $2,400 then we can consider it bullish and next target will be $2,700.
During network growth, exchange-related volumes rise. Using Glassnode's entity-adjustment heuristics, we'll focus on Exchange Inflow Volumes, a direct measure of spot trading activity.
We'll employ a basic fast/slow moving average crossover analysis, identifying periods where the 30-day SMA surpasses the 365-day SMA, indicating heightened short-term activity.
Analysts may also examine the deviation between these moving averages and their gradient for advanced insights and divergences.
#Bitcoin kept on pumping as the breakout happens and gave a Daily Candle Close above the Resistance Area too. Price still pushing higher and expected a retracement from the next resistance area around $47,000.

What Is a Mainnet Swap?
Mainnet swap is the migration of a cryptocurrency project from a third-party blockchain network, such as Ethereum, to its native blockchain network.
A third-party blockchain network is used when a cryptocurrency project is in its testnet phase. But once it moves from the testnet phase to the mainnet phase, users receive native cryptocurrency in exchange for their third-party tokens. That’s why it is also called token migration or token swap. At its core, the mainnet swap is the exchange of third-party tokens with the platform’s native cryptocurrency.
Better Understand Mainnet Swap
Since 2017, ELF has been held as an Ethereum based #ERC-20 token. After spending considerable time testing the security and reliability of its platform, they announced the mainnet swap on September 9, 2021. Typically, the mainnet swap follows a 1:1 ratio. Once it is completed on the entire blockchain, the remaining tokens are burned.
Another example of a mainnet swap is #BNB (Binance Coin). When Binance Chain was in its testnet phase, it was using the Ethereum based ERC-20 BNB token. However, after the mainnet launch, #ERC-20 BNB token holders were encouraged to migrate to the BEP2 BNB coin (the native coin of Binance). This swap occurred at a 1:1 ratio, meaning 1 #BEP2 #0000000d BNB coin equaled 1 ERC-20 #BNB.
When Does Mainnet Swap Occur?
Typically, a mainnet swap occurs when a cryptocurrency project moves from one blockchain to another or migrates its tokens from a third-party blockchain to its native chain. However, the mainnet swap isn’t associated exclusively with new blockchains. A project may announce it if it decides to move from one protocol to another. One example would be the migration of tokens from Bitcoin-based protocol to Ethereum network.
When it comes to the specifics of a mainnet swap’s execution, it varies from project to project. The majority of projects give a deadline to users for the migration of tokens. Failing to do so means you will end up losing access to your tokens as they’re usually burned after the given deadline.
How Is the Swap Done?
Depending on the main features of execution, users can either manually swap their tokens or leave them to the platform. For example, Binance allowed users to leave their previously issued tokens on their accounts, so the platform could automatically swap their tokens with native tokens.

When MVRV nears 2.00 (yellow line), Bitcoin previously exceeded $50,000. Rising MVRV with MA30d implies market cap surpasses realized cap, causing increased selling pressure. This phase historically precedes a local top, leading to a strong bull market, pushing BTC to new highs and MVRV to the Distribution range (red line).
After the recent $49,000 peak, a -20% correction occurred. The question arises if this selling pressure will return MVRV to the Accumulation range (green line), as seen in 2019-2020. Despite this, the upcoming Halving event in less than 3 months is a positive catalyst historically marking the start of a new bull market.
#BTC.D maintaining above the support zone and already started struggling to push higher. A short-term rally is expected in altcoins and a drop, as Dominance giving signals for a rise. In case #BTC started dropping with rising index then alts with flow with that and might remains the stable too.

What Is Loan-to-value (LTV)?
LTV is the ratio of the loan's value to the value of collateral. In a typical financial market, credit scores determine the risk involved in a loan. The lower the credit score, the higher the risk for lenders. Instead of credit scores, the crypto lending process offers asset-backed loans.
Loan to value (LTV) determines the amount of cryptocurrency one would need as collateral before one could get a loan. The lender holds on to this collateral until the loan is fully paid back.
The main benefit of LTV in crypto lending is that it helps minimize the risk on the lender's part. The user also benefits from LTV in that they can access larger loans at lesser interest rates.
How to Calculate LTV?
Case 1: When borrowing a crypto-backed loan, you calculate the loan-to-value (LTV) as follows:
LTV = Loan Amount/ Market value of collateral
Your LTV would be 50% if you borrowed $5,000 and deposited $10,000 worth of bitcoin. However, if the value of bitcoin fell, your collateral's value would decrease, increasing your ratio. To get your loan back to its original LTV ratio, if your LTV rises too high, you might need to put up extra collateral.
Case 2: Once your loan is active, you can continue to monitor your LTV using the following formula:
LTV = Outstanding balance/ Market value of collateral
#LDO has successfully maintained the crucial support zone on the daily timeframe, with the daily candle closing above this significant level.
