2022-03-12 20:00:12 XRP Shoots 10% As Ripple Registers Another Micro Win In Its Case Against the SEC

In its case against the SEC, Ripple seems to stack up the odds in its favor. In the recent hearing, the judge rejected the SEC’s motion to prevent Ripple from pursuing a fair notice defense.

Well, this has sent the XRP price up 12% which is currently trading at $0.81 with a market cap of $39.1 billion.

Although XRP continues to remain volatile with the broader market correction, today’s move helps its cover all of its last month’s loss.

Ripple’s General Counsel Stuart Alderoty said that Friday’s judgment makes it clear that it’s on the SEC’s part to clarify whether it had appraised Ripple of its XRP distributions shall be regarded as securities.

2022-03-09 20:00:42 ​​Ukraine finds unlikely ally in efforts to bar Russian access to crypto: The Central Bank of Russia.

It appears both countries want crypto to be banned in Russia following the nation's recent war efforts.

Recently, Ukraine has called for "sabotage" of everyday Russians' crypto assets due to an ongoing war between the two countries. Among many, its European allies have also voiced mounting concerns that Russia may use crypto to bypass Western sanctions.

But ironically, it appears that one of the greatest proponents of barring everyday Russians and financial institutions from accessing cryptocurrencies is actually the Central Bank of Russia, or CBR, itself. As reported by local news outlet tass.ru on Thursday, the CBR continues to adhere to its position of proposing to ban the issuance, mining, and circulation of cryptocurrencies in the Russian Federation. A CBR official stated:

"The Central Bank currently supports the position that was previously announced and published on the official website. Therefore, there is nothing to add today."

During times of war, nations typically need to dramatically increase their spending, such as via the printing of new money, to finance their military efforts. However, this leads to rampant inflation, thereby enticing individuals to exchange their local currencies for foreign currencies (including now, crypto) to protect their savings.

But this, in turn, would create heavy selling pressure on the local currency, driving up exchange rates and hamper war financing efforts. As a result, countries typically introduce strict foreign exchange controls during wartimes, as Russia and Ukraine have already done. Thus, the drawbacks of crypto destabilizing the Ruble and, by proxy, crippling Russia's war efforts, could potentially outweigh the benefits of using crypto to evade sanctions.

According to a report published by Arcane Research this week, daily Tether (USDT) to ruble trading volume on Binance reached an all-time high of $35 million. Russian social media members appear to be deeply concerned about the falling value of the ruble and how cryptocurrencies can help them protect their savings. User Roman Buchyn wrote:

"You need to buy something cryptocurrencies; the ruble will soon be cheaper than toilet paper." Open / Comment

2022-02-28 20:00:28 ​​Apple Pay to halt support for Russian banks sanctioned on war in Ukraine.

Russians cashed out over $1.3 billion from banks on the first day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the largest amount since the onset of COVID-19.

Several Russian banks that have been sanctioned over Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine will no longer support major payment services like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Russia’s second-largest bank, VTB — as well as other banks like Sovcombank, Otkritie, Novikombank and Promsvyazbank — are on the list of companies sanctioned by the United States, the Bank of Russia confirmed on Friday.

Users of debit and credit cards issued by these banks will no longer be able to use Apple Pay and Google Pay, the central bank said in the announcement, adding that contact or contactless payment will still be available in full across Russia.

Customers will also no longer be able to pay with these cards for products and services sold online from countries supporting the sanctions, the statement notes.

Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank, is also among the sanctioned banks, the Bank of Russia said in a separate announcement on Friday. The sanctions specifically target Sberbank’s correspondent accounts.

Apart from some Russian cards being blocked from Apple Pay and Google Pay, some sanctioned Russian banks are also facing issues with the Apple Store and Google Store due to their involvement with decisions over Ukraine’s Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic.

Apple reportedly removed mobile applications by the sanctioned Promsvyazbank on Wednesday, with at least three apps being removed from the App Store. Google reportedly removed the bank’s main application from its store as well.

Russians have been increasingly withdrawing money from their bank accounts as some officials have warned about banks potentially seizing retail deposits in the event sanctions go too far. Users reportedly withdrew 111.3 billion rubles ($1.3 billion) from Russian banks on the first day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the biggest outflow since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago.

2022-02-25 21:00:21 ​​OpenSea disables features temporarily as contract migration completes.

Bids and purchases are unavailable to ensure that listings are protected until the migration completes.

The week-long period that OpenSea gave users to migrate their nonfungible token (NFT) listings ended on Friday. Following the deadline, the platform announced that some features on the site may be unavailable temporarily due to the migration.

On Saturday, OpenSea pushed a new smart contract and urged users to start the migration of their NFT listings from the old contract to the new one. The NFT marketplace mentions that the upgrade brings new features such as bulk listings and more descriptive signatures while ensuring that all inactive listings expire.

However, hours after the announcement, the platform reported phishing attacks leading to some users losing their NFTs. After this, the OpenSea team launched an investigation to find out what happened. Devin Finzer, co-founder of OpenSea, urged affected users to contact the support team.

NFT platform Mintable made a pledge to return NFTs that were stolen in the recent OpenSea phishing exploit. The team noticed that some of the NFTs lost were listed on another marketplace called LooksRare. Mintable decided to purchase the NFTs and return them to their original owners, according to Mintable founder Zach Burks.

On Friday, the contract migration ended, with the platform informing users that active listings on the website may be invisible and that floor prices may vary. However, the platform said that this is only temporary. To protect listings, OpenSea temporarily disabled bids and purchases until the migration completes.

Meanwhile, the blockchain community has been vigilant with regard to NFTs. An alleged NFT scam believed to target $20 million worth of digital assets was stopped by YouTuber Coffeezilla and community members. An anonymous user published a detailed report bringing to light the existing claims against the team members running the alleged NFT scam. Open / Comment
