David Schwartz, the CTO of Ripple, recently spoke with me about how the XRP Ledger is facilitating a revolution in the tokenization of physical assets.In an interview conducted recently, Schwartz expressed his excitement about the XRP ecosystem as investors’ focus shifted from the XRP coin to a more comprehensive interest in the features of the XRP Ledger.The CTO claims that the XRP Ledger’s technology is becoming more institutionally adopted and is being used in more business and financial applications. In recent years, the idea of tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) has gained traction.Owners of real-world assets can store their rights to things like gold and commodities on the blockchain through the process of digital asset tokenization.However, Ethereum and a few other blockchains have received the majority of the focus surrounding asset tokenization. The tokenization of conventional assets is being actively pursued by major financial institutions like JP Morgan and Bank of America, according to Schwartz in the interview, and this trend is now spreading to the XRP Ledger. “There’s real interest from mainstream financial giants like JPMorgan and Bank of America are actively pursuing tokenization of traditional assets.
In a brief film, James Wallis, vice president of Ripple for central bank digital currency (CBDC) Engagements, emphasized the contribution that CBDCs make to the advancement of global financial inclusion.Wallis makes it clear that the goal of financial inclusion is to make financial services available to everyone on the planet, particularly to those who don’t have any financial institution connections and have low incomes. Wallis identified several critical elements contributing to financial exclusion, such as low incomes and a lack of prior connections with financial institutions, which results in the absence of a credit history.Banks are frequently commercial organizations motivated by shareholder interests in areas where there is financial exclusion. This presents difficulties in providing services to low-income people because it is hard to make money from this group.Wallis argued that by offering financial services at a substantially lower cost than conventional techniques, CBDCs offer a cost-effective option.With CBDCs, you may build credit and have easier payment alternatives even if you have never worked with a bank before. This effectively gives people the ability to establish credit histories, obtain borrowing capacity, and promote the expansion of their enterprises.Wallis stated that in order to address global difficulties in financial inclusion, CBDCs constitute a disruptive breakthrough.In addition to serving as the technology partner for the Republic of Georgia’s CBDC project’s second phase, Ripple is collaborating on CBDC efforts with more than 20 central banks worldwide.Furthermore, Ripple is now working on CBDC partnerships in Bhutan, Palau, Montenegro, Colombia, and Hong Kong. Ripple and the SEC are now at odds in court.For its contributions to the progress of digital currencies and best sustainability initiative—particularly for encouraging innovation in CBDCs—Ripple was recognized in July by Currency Research.Prior to collaborating on the digital lari initiative with the NBG, Ripple actively partnered with companies looking to deploy CBDCs.
According to reports, investors are taking issue with OpenAI’s board of directors’ decision to fire CEO Sam Altman. Several investors in OpenAI, the artificial intelligence (AI) startup that created ChatGPT, are allegedly in contact with its largest shareholder, Microsoft, in an attempt to have Altman reinstated as CEO, according to a Nov. 19 Bloomberg article that cited people familiar with the subject.OpenAI stated on November 17 that Mira Murati, its chief technology officer, would take over as CEO in lieu of Altman.The board stated in a blog post that it was difficult to have a thorough knowledge of the operations since Altman’s communication was unclear and dishonest. It has been reported that Thrive Capital, which was expected to lead a tender offer for employee shares, has not yet sent the money, and Altman’s exit will likely affect its plan of action.Thrive reportedly wants to bring back Altman and its president, Greg Brockman, who left the firm on Friday not long after Altman was fired. When word got out that Altman had been let go by the board, Brockman made his departure official.In a post on X, Brockman said, “I quit based on today’s news” (previously Twitter).Three prominent researchers at OpenAI, including director of research Jakub Pachocki, head of readiness Aleksander Madry, and senior researcher Szymon Sidor, left after hearing the news. According to sources, Altman is open to rejoining the company, provided that the current board members vacate their positions by this weekend.Moreover, it has been claimed that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has stated that, considering that he was similarly taken aback by the board’s decision, he will support Altman’s choice.Nevertheless, after being fired on Friday, Altman is reportedly working on a new artificial intelligence project, according to reliable sources.Moreover, rumors suggested that Altman would be collaborating with Brockman on this project.
On the grounds that he was “not consistently candid in his communications with the board,” the board of directors dismissed Altman. In a
Greg Brockman announced his resignation, citing recent events and expressing satisfaction with the group’s accomplishments since the company’s establishment. The company’s announcement of
After rising about 170% early in the month, Yearn.Finance’s governance token, YFI, fell more than 43% in five hours on Nov. 18, raising concerns about a potential exit fraud. According to data from CoinMarketCap, during the sharp decline in value, the market capitalization from November’s gains was erased by almost $300 million.As of this writing, the value of the YFI coin is $9,069, down from $14,185 the previous day.The token has increased by 83% during the last 30 days, nevertheless.Within the cryptocurrency community, another weekend of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) has been brought on by the sell-off.Some users on X (previously Twitter) assert that ten wallets under developer control had half of the token supply.Etherscan data, however, raises the possibility that some of these holders are cryptocurrency exchange wallets. Furthermore, a few users of X mentioned that the move might have been sparked by initiating short bets.A spike in YFI open interest, as reported by Coinglass, suggests that traders are shorting the coin following November’s gains. “I bought the dip… someone sold 1000 coins perhaps that’s why it dropped massively. Will see,” commented a trader on

Dogecoin (DOGE) futures saw a 40% increase in a crucial statistic over the course of the last day, suggesting that traders are taking more risks. This metric has traditionally indicated local price peaks in cryptocurrency markets.The quantity of unfilled futures bets, or open interest, surged to above 7 billion DOGE tokens on Friday, surpassing records established in April.about current prices, these positions are valued about $600 million. With $275 million worth of futures holdings, Binance has over half of the bets, followed by Bybit with $134 million and OKX with $85 million.Given that the long-to-short ratio is 50% on both sides, it is possible that traders have hedged every wager.In general, rising open interest indicates a bullish inclination among futures traders.On the other hand, if it suddenly surges or grows excessively high, traders may be building short positions, which could be a negative warning of an impending change in market patterns.In comparison to the rest of the market, the rise in DOGE open interest is unusual.There was a 5% decline in futures that tracked popular tokens like ether (ETH) and bitcoin (BTC). The news of a space payload mission by Pittsburgh-based company Astrobotic to deliver a tangible dogecoin token to the moon in December caused DOGE values to soar by more than 12% on Thursday.Furthermore, some traders claim that abrupt increases in meme coins like DOGE are typically negative occurrences that signal increased risk-taking and the conclusion of a larger cryptocurrency rise.
A portion of the explosive price increase in alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) over the last several months might be attributed to South Korean traders, who are well-known for taking excessive risks and frequently igniting token speculative frenzy. Analysts at on-chain data company CryptoQuant revealed in a note on Friday that spot volumes on local exchange Upbit have almost doubled since September.Upbit, which accounts for more than 85% of all trading activity in Korea, saw an 82% increase in trade volume from $32.8 billion to $59.8 billion in October over September. Rising volumes may have caused a flywheel effect, drawing in traders and market makers who then invested their profits to keep buying in the expanding market.Notable booms include LOOM from Loom Network, which saw a price increase of about 10 times in less than two months, and HIFI, which saw a price increase of 6,600% in just September. “For coins that are only listed on Korean exchanges, if there is a significant increase in trading volume, listing futures

The central bank said on Thursday that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) intends to launch a “live” central bank digital currency (CBDC) for wholesale settlement.According to MAS, the strategy is a component of a larger series of efforts to establish the foundation for a digital Singapore currency and to increase the number of asset tokenization trials. The Orchid Blueprint by MAS lays out the technological framework needed for digital money transfers in the future. A recent series of four experiments with industry participants aims to evaluate different elements of this framework.One will be tested initially at the current Singapore FinTech Festival 2023, which is examining tokenized bank liabilities for retail payments, the bank said. “To complement the digital money trials by the financial industry involving retail and corporate users, MAS will commence the development of
In a space payload mission envisioned by Pittsburgh-based company Astrobotic, a physical Dogecoin (DOGE) token may make it to Earth’s moon, the Dogecoin developers announced in an X post on Thursday. “Astrobotic plans to send a physical Dogecoin to the moon in the DHL Moonbox via ULA’s Vulcan Centaur Rocket on 12/23/2023,” Dogecoin
According to an email from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), Matthew White, a partner at PwC, will take over as CEO of Dubai’s cryptocurrency regulator, replacing Henson Orser.Citing a statement from the agency, Bloomberg first announced the adjustment.Bloomberg reported, citing anonymous sources who asked not to be identified because the subject is confidential, that over 12 cryptocurrency companies would also be punished for failing to comply with standards by a deadline of Nov. 17.The report states that certain companies, including as Binance, OKX, and ByBit, will be granted additional time to comply, although the identities of the firms were not disclosed.VARA made no mention of the fines in its email. Orser has been in charge of the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority since January.According to VARA, he will stay completely committed for a “planned transition” as a consultant. “It was a great experience and I’m fully vested in a consultative capacity to support VARA,” Orser said to Bloomberg. “I’m
Commerzbank AG declared on Wednesday that it has acquired a crypto custody license in Germany.According to the release, “with particular emphasis on crypto assets,” the license would enable the worldwide bank with its headquarters located in Frankfurt to provide a wide range of digital asset services. It has proven to be a difficult task for businesses wishing to provide related services to obtain a crypto license from Germany’s conservative financial markets regulator BaFin. As the first full-service bank in Germany to receive the license, Commerzbank intends to establish a safe custody platform for digital assets. “Now that we have been granted the license, we have achieved an important milestone. This highlights our ongoing commitment to
President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador unveiled a dollar cost averaging (DCA) strategy at the national level in November 2022, pledging to purchase one bitcoin daily.According to Bukele’s public declarations at the time, the nation already had 2,381 bitcoins, which had been bought at an average cost of about $44,300.At that time, the price was just $19,000, meaning the nation had lost around $60 million on its investment. Since then, Bukele has remained largely silent over El Salvador’s bitcoin purchases, and the precise quantity of bitcoin held by the nation is unknown because no official government record exists. According to CoinDesk, El Salvador purchased 2,744 bitcoin as of November 14 if the nation did, in fact, buy one bitcoin every day for the previous year.On the basis of the average price of Bitcoin on each of those days, the average purchase price throughout the nation would have decreased to about $41,800.Assuming that the price of bitcoin is $36,000 right now, El Salvador would have lost almost $16 million on its bitcoin holdings.The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has frequently issued warnings about rising threats to the nation’s economic growth and ability to repay its debt since Bukele attempted to make bitcoin legal cash.Even with the slight paper losses on the country’s bitcoin holdings, things now seem to be on a good note. As of mid-August, El Salvador’s bonds had returned 70% year to date, and some well-known banks were advising that further gains were likely.Earlier this month, S&P Global raised the nation’s debt from CCC+ to B-.According to polls, Bukele has a commanding advantage in the race for reelection in 2024, having just declared his desire to run. There are still unanswered issues about whether the public is hurrying to adopt a bitcoin standard.Given how much the economy depends on payments from abroad, remittances would be one place to look.Only 1.2% of the $7 billion in overseas remittances in 2022, according to central bank data, were made using bitcoin wallets.
Superstate, an asset-management company based on blockchain technology, raised $14 million in venture finance to create regulated on-chain funds that are accessible to investors in the US.Distributed Global and CoinFund were the leaders in the round.Participating companies included Arrington Capital, Breyer Capital, CMT Digital, Department of XYZ, Folius Ventures, Galaxy Digital, HackVC, Modular Capital, Nascent, and Road Capital Management. Superstate is committed to creating legally-required investment vehicles that are accessible to US-based investors using public blockchains.Under the direction of Robert Leshner, the creator of the decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform Compound (COMP), the business plans to use the money for team growth, the creation of institutional investor-only private funds, and the development of a tokenized public fund structure. As traditional banking and blockchain technology intersect, the investment emphasizes the growing tendency toward the utilization of tokenized assets.The process of turning real-world assets (RWAs), like gold or bonds, into virtual representations that may be registered as tokens on a blockchain is known as tokenization.The race to unleash the potential benefits of tokenization, which some claim include enhanced efficiency and transparency, faster settlement times, and wider investor access, has even drawn the attention of major banks.The tokenized asset market may reach $10 trillion by the end of the decade, according to asset-management company 21.co. “The first-generation tokenized funds fall short,” Leshner said in the press release. “They either function within private blockchains or exist
A cryptocurrency software wallet called Trust Wallet allows users to purchase, sell, and swap coins in addition to supporting a variety of cryptocurrencies.
The automatic stop on legal actions between bankrupt cryptocurrency companies FTX and BlockFi has been lifted by an order from a U.S. judge, allowing the parties to begin claims negotiations.A lender named BlockFi declared bankruptcy at the end of November of last year, partly as a result of the fallout from the abrupt demise of FTX earlier in the month.That set off the automatic stay, which put an end to their conversation.BlockFi was owed an additional $671 million by FTX’s sister business, Alameda Research, and had an estimated $355 million frozen on the cryptocurrency exchange’s platform. A Nov. 13 court ruling by U.S. bankruptcy judge Michael Kaplan allows FTX debtors to make “arguments, defenses, counterclaims, setoffs, or otherwise… with respect to the BlockFi claims in the FTX bankruptcy proceeding,” modifying the stay. After a five-week trial, Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the now-bankrupt FTX, was found guilty on all seven counts of cheating his lenders and customers at the beginning of this month.During the trial, BlockFi CEO Zac Prince testified against Bankman-Fried, explaining how the company’s engagement with FTX and Alameda caused it to lose “a little over a billion dollars,” forcing it to file for bankruptcy at that time. The creditors of BlockFi approved a bankruptcy restructuring plan in late September, which theoretically would have allowed the company to recoup the assets it had lost to FTX and the assets it had lost when the cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital failed in the summer of 2022.
According to an email release on Tuesday, social networking service MeWe stated it was able to move almost 170,000 of its users to Web3 in the months that followed its integration with the Frequency blockchain without interfering with their experience.MeWe announced in April at Consensus 2023 that it would be using the Polkadot parachain Frequency to enable its 20 million members to have self-sovereign blockchain-based IDs. The creation of the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), which enables programs to provide Web3 capabilities to their users, gave rise to frequency.Project Liberty, a nonprofit organization started by billionaire Frank McCourt in the real estate industry, provided support to DSNP in an effort to challenge the Web2 social-network paradigm that underpinned sites like Facebook and X, the old Twitter. “MeWe is showing the industry how forward-thinking platforms can offer the benefits of Web3, including the ability to reclaim their digital
At the end of the month, Noble’s primary network will launch Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), an on-chain protocol that makes it easier for users to swap between compatible blockchains without the need for a custodial bridge. Noble is an application-specific blockchain that was developed inside the Cosmos ecosystem and debuted in March 2023. Users that utilize any chain that supports CCTP can transfer their USDC between blockchains.A press statement states that Optimism, Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum are the current supported chains. The infrastructure makes it easy for companies like dYdX, a decentralized exchange, to integrate with the Cosmos (ATOM) ecosystem and launch their “v4” standalone chain.As per the notice released by DYdX (DYDX), USDC is used as collateral by default for its chain. On November 28, CCTP will go live on the mainnet after being made available on a Noble test network. “What is important here is the sheer amount of USDC liquidity we expect to migrate to Cosmos using
After only eight days of launch, a token dubbed Grok AI—a social platform owned by Elon Musk that offers artificial intelligence services—sprang to a $160 million market valuation, following in the footsteps of other speculative frenzy this year that included tokens with frog themes and hamster racing. As per DEXTools, the price of Grok (GROK) has surged above 13,000% after more than doubling in the last 24 hours. The surge has been ongoing for a week.Thus, over the course of seven days, $100 invested in the tokens might have produced $1,300 in profit. Eleven thousand people own GROK tokens, and within the last day, there were $25 million worth of trades.Of the numerous GROK tokens that developers have generated across multiple blockchains, this one was the first. The most of them seem to have either rugpulled or failed to increase in value after issuance. According to DEXTools data, the top holders of GROK are sitting on unrealized profits ranging from $2.1 million to over $6 million.But as of Monday, there was only $3.5 million in available liquidity for the GROK-USD pair, which means that a one big sell may entirely reverse the surge.Grok, a social application X AI chatbot service, began to roll out last Saturday.According to previews, the service is funnier and more uncensored than current competitors, which may have contributed to its rapid cult following. On Ethereum (or other blockchains), anybody may create a smart contract for a few pennies, and tokens can be generated instantaneously, given liquidity, and traded shortly thereafter thanks to the existence of decentralized exchanges.The actual Grok AI service has nothing to do with any of the grok tokens.
Following CFTC approval of the products in June, Cboe Digital, the cryptocurrency division of the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, said that it will begin listing margined bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures on January 11.According to a press release, it will make history as the first clearinghouse and regulated exchange in the United States to offer both spot and leveraged derivatives trading on the same platform.Regular futures do not let traders to take positions larger than their collateral; however, leveraged futures do. Among the trading companies supporting the new offering are B2C2, BlockFills, CQG, Cumberland DRW, Jump Trading Group, and Marex. “Futures have long served as valuable hedging instruments in the traditional financial markets, and we couldn’t be more excited to extend
In a management shuffle that occurred just four months after leaving rival Polygon Labs, Ryan Wyatt was appointed chief growth officer by a section of the Optimism Foundation.Wyatt will oversee blockchain development and assist developers in creating applications throughout the Optimism ecosystem in his capacity as CGO of Optimism Unlimited Ltd., an operational subsidiary of the Optimism Foundation. The second-largest layer-2 network on Ethereum is called OP Mainnet, formerly known as just Optimism. The Optimism Foundation is responsible for providing support to the larger community of businesses and developers who are dedicated to Optimism’s technology. The Base blockchain, which was introduced earlier this year by the American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, was powered by technology developed by OP Labs, the main company behind Optimism.Prior to leaving in July to take a position as CEO at Polygon Labs, Wyatt served as the company’s president. At the time, Marc Boiron was the Chief Legal Officer.From his stint at Polygon to his previous position at YouTube, where he first began investigating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital ownership, he has a plethora of gaming knowledge. “I really do think that Optimism is the best team in crypto, hands down,” Wyatt told CoinDesk in an interview.
After receiving acceptance from more than 80% of validators, the “fixReducedOffersV1” amendment is currently in a two-week activation countdown phase.This change is a major improvement for XRPL. New features will be added to XRP Ledger (XRPL) in the coming weeks.Users using rippled v1.11.0 or older versions are urged to update their systems, according to XRPScan.FixReducedOffersV1 must be implemented in 14 days in order to address severe issues with DEX offerings. Updates above 80% are required.FixReducedOffersV1, the only change with an 80% consensus among the XRPL v1.12.0 update’s amendments, is the first to begin a two-week activation countdown.FixReducedOffersV1 seeks to improve the XRPL’s general operation by reducing the frequency of order books that are hidden by decreased offers. Within two weeks, protocol improvements supported by more than 80% validator support are permitted by the XRPL amendment.Because of this recent development, in order to continue participating as a node provider or in other designated protocol functions, you must update to the most recent version of the XRPL.This adjustment can make a lowered offer on XRPL decentralized exchanges (DEXs) more beneficial than the initial offer from the taker’s point of view by rounding the exchange rate.In certain situations, the reduced offer might be consumed by additional offers that match the original. If these modifications were not made, on the other hand, an offer with little residual sums would have very unfavorable conversion rates when rounded down from its initial value.This eventually makes it impossible to accept requests that are more favorable, which poses significant difficulties for decentralized brokerage systems that use the XRPL. With the release of XRPL version 1.12.0 in September, prominent features like fixReducedOffersV1 were added.Bug fixes and changes pertaining to the Automated Market Maker (AMM) and Clawback feature were included in the upgrade.In order to prevent disruptions, users have to update to the most recent version before September 20.Furthermore, it was determined that access to the XRPL update was necessary in order to vote on new amendments such as XLS-30.The XRPL has had significant improvements both inside and outside, which has improved its prognosis overall.The most recent security audit for the Xahau sidechain was completed successfully, which is encouraging for XRPL’s future.
A lawsuit has been launched against ByBit, its investment arm Mirana, and several executives by the FTX bankruptcy estate, which is led by CEO John J. Ray III.The goal is to retrieve money and digital assets that ByBit removed from FTX just before it collapsed; these assets are estimated to be worth $1 billion at this point. According to the lawsuit, ByBit took large amounts of money and digital assets from executives at FTX, Time Research, a company connected to ByBit, and Mirana just before the company collapsed. It did this by using its “VIP” access and connections with FTX employees.Employees of FTX kept note of VIP customers’ withdrawal requests in a spreadsheet called “VIP Request – Prioritize (Settlement)” during the withdrawal issues that occurred in November 2022.According to the lawsuit, FTX’s settlement team made a considerable deal of effort to give priority to Mirana’s large withdrawals, which led to transfers of more than $327 million to Mirana.According to reports, ByBit and its executives withdrew assets worth around $1 billion from FTX in total. The lawsuit alleges that in order to prevent the FTX estate from withdrawing assets valued at more than $125 million from the ByBit exchange, ByBit placed restrictions on it.It is said that ByBit is attempting to retrieve $20 million that it was unable to take from FTX before to its collapse by utilizing these assets as leverage.Despite portraying BitDAO as a decentralized organization administered by community members, the lawsuit alleges that in October 2021, a ByBit executive secretly disclosed to FTX that the business controls BitDAO, now known as Mantle.Then, in May 2023, ByBit made contact with the FTX bankruptcy estate on the possibility of reversing the transaction, despite the fact that the FTT tokens’ worth of about $4 million was far smaller than the value of the BIT tokens, which at the time were valued at over $50 million. Following FTX’s rejection of the “illogical proposal,” BitDAO quickly changed its name to Mantle and introduced MNT tokens, which BIT holders could convert at a 1:1 ratio.BitDAO apparently stopped FTX from converting as soon as it started, and then conducted a “community vote” to determine whether or not to prevent FTX from converting its tokens. A notice of violation of the automatic stay in Chapter 11 bankruptcy was sent to ByBit by FTX, according to the lawsuit.With votes that appeared to be connected to ByBit officials, the “community vote” nevertheless went through.The wallet “dtoh.eth,” which was identified as Mirana Ventures, a Mirana subsidiary run by David Toh, is noteworthy for having cast the fifth-largest vote.The lawsuit targets ByBit with regards to the token program and the assets stored on its network, seeking “compensatory and punitive damages.”
With an emphasis on doing what FTX failed to accomplish, which is secure customer cash, a group of former FTX executives have joined forces to assist in the development of a new cryptocurrency exchange in Dubai. With Trek Labs, a Dubai-based business that was granted permission to provide bitcoin services in the area in late October, ex-FTX attorney Can Sun is spearheading the charge.Trek Labs will market those services under the name Backpack Exchange. As the CEO of Trek’s holding company in the British Virgin Islands, Armani Ferrante, a former employee of FTX, will assist Sun, the Wall Street Journal reported on November 11.Additionally, Ferrante is the owner of Backpack, a bitcoin wallet that is a part of Backpack Exchange.Claire Zhang, Ferrante’s wife and Sun’s former legal deputy at FTX, is a member of Trek’s executive team.Zhang, however, intends to leave Trek once it secures an investment round because she has been working for free to “help bootstrap the exchange,” according to the Wall Street Journal. Ferrante and Sun emphasized that they wished to apply the knowledge gained from FTX’s inability to safeguard client money.With the use of multiparty computation (MPC) technology, Backpack’s technology provides a self-custody solution that guarantees the security of cash.Before any money is sent, an MPC transaction usually requires the approval of multiple parties. It will also enable Backpack customers to verify funds whenever they want, Sun told WSJ. “In a post-FTX world,
