Elevate Brands announced today its “Cash or Coin” acquisition program and integration with Coinbase Prime. As per industry observations, Elevate Brands is always looking for ways to make its acquisition and operating processes more efficient. They announced today that they would be integrating with Coinbase Prime to receive payment in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. It should help them conserve money by not having upfront costs when acquiring products from the Amazon marketplace. This innovative new strategy enables Elevate to capitalize on opportunities in the crypto space and offers investors unprecedented access. Ryan Gnesin, CEO of Elevate Brand, said; “We’re excited to be at the forefront of Amazon’s new digital age, and we believe that cash or coin will make it easier than ever for consumers who want access into cryptocurrencies” He further added; “Integrating with Coinbase Prime gives us an edge in bringing our brands closer towards achieving this goal.” Nick Eary sold his company last year to Elevate. He will receive his bitcoin payouts next month. Sellers who get paid directly through the Coinbase Prime account benefit from lower fees or high volume limits and can access features not available on other platforms. Nick said with excitement in an interview about Elevate’s first crypto payee: “When I sold my business, I had planned to allocate some of the funds to bitcoin. The fact that I could be paid in crypto instantly through Elevate made investing a much simpler process.” Elevate Offer Bitcoin Payouts For Referral Program  In a move that could be the start of many more crypto-based incentive programs, Elevate has recently introduced its new referral program. Anyone who refers a business to Amazon that they successfully acquire is eligible for up to $500K in cash or equivalent blockchain-based cryptocurrency (i.e., Bitcoin). Empowery ECommerce Cooperative received the first referral payout in Bitcoin. Empowery founder Steve Simonson stated that Elevate’s Cash or Coin Program came at just in time. In his words, “Luckily we found the perfect way to learn more about cryptocurrency. We know it will be an exciting year, with many changes already happening. So we decided on Coinbase Prime as our crypto holder.” Elevate’s team is making waves in the Amazon market. The company, which has rapidly grown its portfolio of private-label goods through deals and acquisitions over last year alone, has raised $370 million from leading global institutional investors and acquired 32 brands at a pace of 3-4 per month. The firm has grown by more than 500% since it opened its second headquarters in Austin, Texas. Elevate Brands is a company that specializes in launching products on Amazon. They are currently ranked among the top 100 sellers of all time, and own 32 private label brands, including Sqribble bedding accessories for millennials.

Oasis, a protocol that aims to secure user privacy information, has seen volatile price action in the past month, rising and falling by 183% in just four days.

LUNA has been dropping sharply in the past few days, deeper than larger cryptocurrencies. As of press time, Terra’s native token moves on critical support barely above $50 with a 16.4% loss in the last 24 hours. Related Reading | Terra Announces Non-Profit ‘Luna Foundation Guard’ According to Wu Blockchain, the token lost as much as 20% in the last day. Apparently, retail investors have been panic selling their LUNA funds due to concerns about several of its dApps and UST. The latter is one of many stablecoins operating on the Terra ecosystem which is based on a supply and demand mechanism to maintain its peg. As NewsBTC reported back in December, UST has been gaining relevance across the DeFi sectors. The stablecoin allows holders access to the Anchor Protocol, Terra-based lending and borrowing application that consistently offered its users a 19.5% compounding yield on their UST deposits. This rate surpasses that of its competitors, some of which have issues offering a 10% yield with similar products. However, the current downtrend in the crypto market has heavily impacted LUNA and the Terra ecosystem. Some users believe the ecosystem as a whole could be in danger as a result of a reduction in Anchor’s reserves which according to some projections could reach $0 in the coming weeks. Without these funds, the protocol would be unable to pay off its users and due to Terra’s mechanism, it could trigger a fresh leg down across its assets. The pegged in UST has been offered in the past days, as more users seem to believe this theory. Thus, panic spreads amongst sellers looking to mitigate their losses. As of press time, UST has seen an important recovery as it hit a multi-month low of 0.98 versus the U.S. dollar. Terra (LUNA) Inventor Addresses Concerns Around Anchor Do Kwon, co-founder, and CEO of Terraform Labs, the entity behind Terra’s ecosystem, recently addressed the controversy generated around Anchor and UST. In an attempt to counterbalance the FUD, as some LUNA holder has called it, Do Kwon emphasized Anchor’s objectives. The first, he wrote on a Twitter thread, is to make market yields on stablecoins less volatile, while increasing the capital efficiency of the platform. Anchor’s Yield Reserve is a “centerpiece” to address these issues, but this component of the protocol can operate with a surplus or a deficit. Kwon said: Recently as leverage started to wind down from crypto markets, deposits have gone up a lot and borrowing down. The yield reserve has been running at a deficit to maintain the deposit yield. Users seem to believe that the Yield Reserve, Kwon said, should “always operate at a surplus”, and that the YR depletion will “have disastrous consequences”. The co-founder of Terraform Labs said that Anchor’s Yield Reserve was always designed to be used on current market conditions. On the second widespread concern by users, Kwon said that if the protocol runs out of funds in its Yield Reserve, it will “operate as a regular money market” still offering users around 15% to 16% in incentives. Therefore, he concluded that the protocol, and by extension the ecosystem, “will be fine”. Related Reading | NEAR Records 70% Rally On Terra Integration, Will It Close The Year In Profit? In the future, the team at Terraform Labs will make improvements to reduce “LUNA dominance in Anchor collateral under 40%”. In that way, a similar situation could be prevented. In the meantime, Kwon said: I am resolved to find ways of subsidizing the yield reserve. Anchor is still in the growth phase, and maintaining the most attractive yield in DeFi stable will strengthen that growth & build up moats.
