2021-12-10 11:01:35 ​State cryptocurrency DCash began to support two more territories of the Caribbean

ECCB, based in Saint Kitts and Nevis, launched its state-owned cryptocurrency in April this year. The country is part of a monetary union with seven other nations, but only four initially announced support for DCash.

Now residents of the Commonwealth of Dominica and the territory of Montserrat will be able to use digital currency to pay for goods and services, as well as exchange it using a special mobile application. Essentially, the digital currency DCash is a government stablecoin pegged to the Caribbean dollar.

As ECCB Governor Timothy N.J. Antoine noted, traditional payment systems are too slow. At the same time, he said, the digital dollar of the monetary union should "work for everyone except criminals."

“All these initiatives are aimed at accelerating economic growth, and, ultimately, at our socio-economic reforms. We must create conditions for the common prosperity of the people of our monetary union, ”Antoine emphasized. Öffnen / Wie

2021-12-09 10:38:20 ​Brand clothing Zara launched the first collection in the meta

On Wednesday December 8th, global fashion giant Zara unveiled its first collection of designs for people and avatars. Already, physical and virtual models can be purchased in the chain's stores anywhere in the world.

Zara tweeted that her new collection was designed in collaboration with one of the largest clothing brands in South Korea, Ader Error.

The joint release of AZ Collection promises to be one of the most talked about events in the metaverse industry. According to representatives of the Spanish network, the created models are inspired by modern fashion.

All items from the innovative collection are also available in the ADERERRORXZARA virtual store hosted on the ZEPETO platform.

Thus, the famous Spanish chain of more than 7000 stores worldwide is taking the first step into Web 3.0. 50,000 users have already shown interest in the virtual store.

ZEPETO's choice to launch Zara's new virtual fashion collection is easy to explain - the platform is an immensely popular metaverse with over 200 million users and strong growth over the past year.

On the platform, users can not only create their own virtual versions, but also live in a completely digital world. Her app is available on the App Store and Good Play.

The design of Zara's new virtual collection reflects the lifestyle of people “whose personalities are shaped by their simultaneous experiences in the real and virtual worlds,” the brand's website says.

It is a project that reflects the ability of language to express ideas, generates different ways of thinking and creates new cultures. Öffnen / Wie

2021-12-08 21:18:35 ​Lightning Network throughput tripled in 2021

In 2021, the Lightning Network showed rapid progress, almost tripling its bandwidth

It was able to grow so significantly due to the fact that the volumes of BTC blocked in payment channels increased.

According to the analyst company Glassnode, the throughput of payment channels has grown by about 3 times. It currently exceeds 3,174 BTC, although it was around 1,060 BTC as of January 1, 2021. Additionally, during the year, the total number of Lightning payment channels doubled from about 37,000 to just over 80,000.

The Lightning Network addresses issues that arise in the Bitcoin mainnet (such as slow transaction speeds and high fees). The growth of this solution coincided with the record high BTC rates. A number of catalysts have also helped boost growth, driving the demand for fast payments in bitcoin.

Following the introduction of Bitcoin as legal tender, El Salvador integrated BTC payments using a Lightning-based payment service called Strike.

In addition, one of the largest social networks Twitter implemented Lightning to pay incentives to users in BTC (helped a lot by Bitcoin supporter and then CEO Jack Dorsey).

This week, the Spiral YouTube video introduced the Lightning Developer Kit (LDK) to help address the challenges of adding Lightning capabilities to web and mobile apps.

Bitwage also announced the world's first BTC payroll using the Lightning Network. Öffnen / Wie

2021-12-08 10:38:03 ​Brazilian BTG Pactual Launches New ETH Fund

BTG Pactual has launched a new multi-marketing fund with access to Ether (ETH), the Brazilian investment bank announced today.

The fund, dubbed BTG Pactual Reference Ethereum 20, has a 20% impact on ETH, the Ethereum network's own cryptocurrency, and 80% on fixed income. This requires a minimum investment of R $ 100 (US $ 17.74) and an annual administration fee of 0.5%.

BTG Pactual Reference Ethereum 20 joins two other bitcoin-focused funds the bank launched earlier this year - BTG Pactual Reference Bitcoin 20 and BTG Pactual Reference Bitcoin 100. This will be the 14th fund in the bank's Reference family, a series of funds that track the performance of technology companies, semiconductors and biotechnology among other sectors.

“Democratizing access to the cryptoasset market was one of our goals in creating these products,” said André Portillo, Partner and Head of Digital Assets at BTG Pactual in a press release in Portuguese. “Cryptocurrency is already known almost all over the world and Brazilian investors are watching the growing relevance of this sector, but they do not have to deal with the bureaucracy required to work with this asset. Now they can get this opportunity with the same ease to which they are accustomed to investing in any fund. "

Several crypto funds were launched in Brazil this year, including the Ethereum Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) QR Capital QETH11. Öffnen / Wie

2021-12-07 17:50:30 ​Nasdaq Stockholm Lists Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange Traded Bonds

Nasdaq Stockholm announced that 21Shares has placed the first two Physically Backed Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) on the Swedish trading platform.

These two instruments, whose underlying assets are Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), represent a new segment for ETN - a type of unsecured debt security that tracks the underlying stock index and is traded on a major exchange.

According to the announcement, the new ETNs will provide investors with access to investment opportunities in cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin and Ether).

Helena Vedin, head of Europe for exchange-traded products at Nasdaq, said exchange-traded bonds allow investors to invest in non-traditional assets while maintaining transparency in the regulated market.

Most traditional banks and brokers allow investors to trade all ETNs listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, according to the press release. This is the first step that opens up new opportunities for investors interested in investing in cryptocurrencies, but who experience the inconvenience of trading on unregulated exchanges.

Throughout the past year, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a sharp rise in value. Despite the recent drop in prices, interest in cryptocurrencies remains high.

One of the reasons for the sustained interest may be the possibility of increasing institutional investment in this market. As institutional investment in cryptocurrencies grows, we are likely to see more products such as exchange-traded bonds listed on regulated exchanges. VanEck listed the Solana (SOL) and Polkadot (DOT) exchange-traded bonds on Deutsche Boerse's Xetra in September, Cointelegraph reports. Öffnen / Wie

2021-12-07 11:04:06 ​BIS calls decentralization of DeFi protocols an illusion

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has a centralization issue that policymakers need to take advantage of to regulate the sector. This conclusion is contained in a new quarterly report of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

DeFi is experiencing an "inevitable need" for centralized governance, the report says.

“There is a limit to the extent to which a financial system can operate solely on the basis of automated transactions. This is an open question. We need to keep a close eye on this, ”said Hyun Sung Shin, Head of Research at BIS.

He expressed confidence that there will be times when DeFi will require reorganization or evaluation. The inherent governance structures of protocols are the obvious starting points for public policy, the report says.

Analysts questioned whether decentralized finance could disrupt a larger financial system despite explosive growth.

They admitted that as DeFi becomes more popular, financial stability could be threatened by "serious vulnerabilities" in the protocols. These include landing projects, liquidity problems in stablecoins, interconnected applications, and a lack of banks to deal with potential shocks.

BIS noted that the thesis of full decentralization in DeFi does not hold water. At the same time, the introduction of governance tokens and DAOs can weaken it.

“This element of centralization can serve as the basis for the recognition of DeFi platforms by legal entities, similar to corporations. For politicians, these groups and management protocols are natural subjects of regulation, ”the report says. Öffnen / Wie
