2023-07-02 17:00:00 Binance Overturns Restriction on Privacy Coins for European Customers

Binance's initial plan to delist specific privacy coins in certain EU nations has now been reversed as the company undertook revisions to ensure compliance with regional regulatory requirements.

The global crypto exchange said that it would reverse its initial plans to halt the trading of privacy tokens in Spain, France, Italy and Poland, after considering community feedback and engaging with various projects.

Last month, Binance told European users over email, that it would no longer offer 12 privacy-focused coins, starting June 26. However, the exchange said it would spare seven tokens from delisting from the four EU nations, including Decred (DCR), Dash (DASH), Zcash (ZEC), PIVX (PIVX), Navcoin (NAV), Secret (SCRT) and Verge (XVG).

"Beam (BEAM), Monero (XMR), MobileCoin (MOB), Firo (FRO) and Horizen (ZEN) are still included in the restrictions," Binance told The Block.

“After carefully considering feedback from our community and several projects, we have revised how we classify privacy coins on our platform to comply with EU-wide regulatory requirements,” a Binance spokesperson told cryptonews via email. Open / Comment

2023-06-29 18:05:03 This Free-to-Mint Soulbound NFT Tracks Your Web3 Work History

Digital community platform Coordinape is rolling out CoSoul, a soulbound non-fungible token (NFT) that tracks a holders’ work history within digitally-native organizations.

The CoSoul NFT, a free-to-mint on Ethereum layer 2 network Optimism, allows holders to collect the participation data, accolades and employment verification on-chain.

Soulbound NFTs are non-transferable and are used to represent social identity in a decentralized society. The CoSoul NFT updates each month with new metrics and generative artwork that changes based on a holder's activity.

Coordinape is also placing GIVE – its native token – contributions on-chain to allow decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) participants to reward other members for their participation within the community.

With CoSoul, a holder’s DAO participation is on-chain to help publicly distinguish a members’ commitment to a project.

Zemm, the pseudonymous co-founder of Coordinape, told CoinDesk that while platforms like LinkedIn showcase an employees’ professional history as well as colleague endorsements, they might not always be truthful.


“We think that work history will live on-chain for digital communities and digitally native organizations (like DAOs), as a record of provable interactions between individuals, teams, orgs, etc.,” said Zemm. “For contributors using Coordinape, this is an early primitive that we think can add to the space and story of someone’s work and collaborations, and in a manner that will become more sovereign and provable than has been done before.”

Coordinape, a digital platform that helps DAOs manage and distribute resources to working contributors, has worked within Web3 workplaces for the past two years to add new methods of decentralized payment and management.

In August, Coordinape rolled out CoVaults, smart contracts that allow DAOs to pay their contributors with ERC-20 tokens. Open / Comment

2023-06-26 18:01:22 JPMorgan Enables Euro-Denominated Blockchain Payments through JPM Coin

JPMorgan has expanded its JPM Coin blockchain payment service to include euro-denominated transactions for corporate clients.

The platform, launched in 2019 for dollar payments, allows wholesale payments clients to transfer dollars or euros between JPMorgan accounts around the world, or make payments to other customers of the bank using blockchain technology instead of traditional payment methods.

Basak Toprak, JPMorgan’s head of Coin Systems for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, reportedly said corporate treasurers could use the system to manage liquidity more effectively, such as initiating payments just before they are due to earn more interest income on their deposits.

“There are cost benefits to paying at the right time,” Toprak said. “This could mean they could earn more interest income on their deposits.”

JPM Coin payments operate 24 hours a day, unlike traditional transactions that are typically only processed during business hours and are executed more quickly. Open / Comment

Both targets for Bitcoin were reached, the $30,500 resistance was broken upwards!

Ideally, we need to wait for the Daily Closure above this level to be sure, but such strong impulses give hopes! Next targets for Bitcoin are $32,000 and $33,000.

But globally, if now we are able to stay above $30,500 - $31,000, we can easily see $35,000 - $37,000 in the near future! Open / Comment

2023-06-23 14:33:25 Forbes Declares Impending $15 Trillion Quake Targeted at XRP and Others

In a recent report, Forbes magazine sounded the alarm, alerting that an unprecedented seismic shift is hurtling toward the crypto market, with XRP at its epicenter. The article “A New Wave – Major Bank Reveals A $15 Trillion Earthquake” sheds light on a colossal event that could send shockwaves through XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano.

A sign of the storm ticked last week when BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, announced its intention to plunge deeper into the crypto realm. Specifically, BlackRock, which has assets worth $10 trillion under management, filed for a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) with the US regulator.

As the largest global asset manager, BlackRock’s actions signal an immense demand for Bitcoin exposure from its prestigious clientele. This would naturally ignite a domino effect leading to a rally around various coins such as XRP.

Investors worth $5 Trillion Are Ready for XRP
Additionally, Forbes argued the possibility of the storm rocking the crypto market following a stunning revelation from Laser Digital, a digital assets subsidiary of banking behemoth Nomura. Its recent survey of professional investors managing a staggering $5 trillion exposed an overwhelming desire to invest in cryptocurrencies like XRP.

Specifically, 96% of these financial experts expressed keen interest in entering the crypto space, citing its potential to diversify portfolios and revolutionize investment management.

Eighty-two percent of the respondents displayed an optimistic outlook for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, while 88% confirmed that they or their clients were actively considering crypto investments. Open / Comment
