Lekki Free Zone Set To Partner Gluwa On Blockchain Technology

21 Sep 2022

The world’s largest producer of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) bitcoin miners, Bitmain Technologies, has revealed the company is offering a discount on Antminer S19 Pro mining rigs. The 100 terahash per second (TH/s) machine is selling for $19 per terahash or $1,900 per unit. The Antminer mining rigs are 80% cheaper than they were five months ago on March 28.

Amid the crypto winter and the crypto economy’s market capitalization hovering around $927.21 billion, Bitmain Technologies has decided to sell its Antminer S19 Pro mining rigs at a discount. At the same time, the price of bitcoin (BTC) is down 5.52% during the last seven days and is currently trading for under $20K per unit. The cryptocurrency network’s mining difficulty is at an all-time high and the network’s hashrate is coasting along today at 223.73 exahash per second (EH/s).

“Bitmain is offering an Antiminer S19 Pro special discount for only $19/T,” Bitmain tweeted on Tuesday. “For bulk orders, please contact [a] Bitmain sales representative directly. Customers who have already purchased S19 Pro will be eligible for coupons,” the company added.

Bitmain’s sale is a lot cheaper than the Antiminer S19 Pro’s original prices. On March 29, 2022, a customer could purchase an Antiminer S19j Pro with 104 TH/s for $9,984 per unit. The 100 TH/s S19, which produces a slightly smaller hashrate than the S19j Pro, is 80.96% cheaper — at $1,900 per unit — than S19 prices five months ago. Lower prices may be contributing to the massive expansion from a number of operations and Bitcoin’s sky-high hashrate in recent times.

This week, the Nasdaq-listed and Gwyneth Paltrow-backed Terawulf (Nasdaq: WULF) revealed its Lake Mariner mining data center now has 12,000 Mining Rigs operating at the facility and a great deal of Terawulf’s rigs are Antminer S19s. Cleanspark Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) has also detailed that the crypto winter has brought “unprecedented opportunities” after it acquired 1,061 ASIC mining rigs at a “discounted price.”

What do you think about Bitmain dropping the price of the Antminer S19 Pro units this week? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

XRP remained close to a four-month high on Wednesday, following a recent breakout of a key resistance level. The token was above $0.4000 for a second consecutive session, which happened for the first time since June. Litecoin also edged higher, after prices rebounded following recent losses.

XRP continued to trade close to a four-month high on Wednesday, as bullish sentiment remained strong within the token.

Following a low of $0.3774 earlier in today’s session, XRP/USD raced to a peak of $0.4215 on hump day.

The move comes after the token broke out of its key price ceiling of $0.4000 on Tuesday, hitting its highest point since June 1 in the process.

Although prices have since declined, and as of writing are trading at $0.4044, many still believe that further rallies could come.

Some believe that bulls are targeting the $0.4500 point, which appears to be the longer-term resistance point in XRP.

However, with the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) tracking at 62.45, prices may currently be overbought, leading to an influx of bears, opposed to bulls.

Litecoin (LTC) was also in the green in today’s session, and prices rebounded following recent losses.

Following a drop to a two-month low of $50.01 to start the week, LTC/USD rose to an intraday peak of $54.17 on Wednesday.

The drop led to the token falling below a key support point of $52.00, however bulls reentered the market, sending prices higher.

Historically, once above the aforementioned floor, bulls typically take prices towards a ceiling of $60.00.

In order for this to happen on this occasion, we will need to see LTC climb above another ceiling, this time within the RSI.

As of writing, the index is tracking at 43.18, however it is fast approaching a resistance of 44.20, which would need to be overcome if litecoin were to move higher.

PRESS RELEASE. As part of a drive to strengthen its contribution to the Nigerian economy, the Lekki Free Zone Development Company (LFZ) is in talks with Gluwa, a blockchain technology company. The pair are looking to partner and use blockchain to foster trade collaboration, growth, and sustainability among new and existing Free Zone enterprises. The partnership would also explore the creation of a Virtual Free Zone within the Lekki Free Zone.

Lekki Free Zone’s Head of Strategy, Innovation & Special Projects, Mr Tomiwa Idowu, has disclosed that discussions are ongoing between LZF, the Nigerian Export Processing Zones Authority, and the Gluwa team.

In a statement, Idowu explained that the partnership, when finalized, will create a dashboard for the tokenization of goods into NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and provide digital asset-backed loans for new and existing enterprises who are looking to fund operations or expand their businesses, similar to the integration of OpenSea and Compound.

Idowu shared his vision for innovating Nigeria and Africa’s trading and industrial sector, bringing it into the modern information age with the Lekki Free Zone at the epicentre.

“I am extremely excited by the enormous potential of such a partnership, which would further establish Lagos State as Africa’s leading sub-national in innovation, economic development and revenue generation,” said Idowu.

He commended the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as a beacon of progress and hope for the nation in general, saying: “Our Governor has always been a firm believer in fast-paced development, which involves using technology to leapfrog bureaucracy and going straight to solving immediate problems.”

Chief Executive Officer at Gluwa, Tae Oh, noted that the firm is keen to partner with the Lekki Free Zone as it is the largest and most developed Free Zone in Nigeria with proximity to the deep-sea port as well as the Dangote refinery, saying: “Trading has been the bedrock of the Nigerian economy, with annual volumes running into billions of dollars.”

He added: “We believe the digitization of the sector can allow us to harness its full potential. For instance, a standard process to digitize goods manufactured or processed within the zone in tandem with a market system on web3 will allow manufacturers to trade globally via the blockchain.

“All trades will be registered and benefit from the incentives of the Lekki Free Zone, such as zero taxation and free circulation of goods. As soon as the goods get settled for export by the in-Zone Customs Processing Center, they will be shipped straight from the Lekki Free Zone via the deep-sea port.

“This will reduce delays, eliminate human errors, drive up Nigeria’s non-oil exports and sustain a positive trade balance for the nation. While we are still working out the fine details and a specific framework with NEPZA, we believe it is the future of African commerce and trade.”
