2022-10-27 14:30:00 ​Localbitcoins, Crypto, Other Providers Suspend Services for Russians Under EU Rules

Complying with the latest EU sanctions targeting Russia, well-known cryptocurrency platforms like Localbitcoins, Blockchain, and Crypto have started to restrict or terminate services for Russian accounts. The moves follow the adoption of new European penalties in response to Moscow’s military escalation in Ukraine.

About a week after the European Union introduced another set of measures aimed at hurting Russia’s economy and finances, including its access to the crypto market, a number of service providers in the industry have taken steps to comply with the new requirements. In April, the bloc banned only high-value services, those for digital assets exceeding €10,000 in value ($11,000 at the time). Last Thursday, Brussels prohibited the provision of all crypto-related services to Russian residents and entities, regardless of the amount.

Localbitcoins, the peer-to-peer exchange platform, has recently told Russian citizens it can no longer offer them its services, Forklog reported. The only exception that can be made is for persons that also hold a passport issued by a country from the European Economic Area (EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) and Switzerland, those who have a permanent residence permit in these jurisdictions.

2022-10-25 13:00:04 ​Reporters Dig Deeper into Crypto Exchange Bithumb’s Mysterious Ownership Story.

Bithumb – one of South Korea’s biggest crypto exchanges – remains in the public spotlight with questions about the firm’s ownership structure raising concern across the nation.

Last month, the country was rocked when it was revealed that Kang Jong-hyun, the reclusive majority stakeholder of Bithumb, had been secretly having a romantic relationship with the top-billing actress Park Min-young. Reporters also discovered that Kang’s affiliates had bought Park’s talent agency – and had installed her older sister as a director at a publicly listed firm that he also owns.

Kang is reportedly the “secret chairman” of Bithumb, crypto industry sources have claimed – and three of the other firms he owns were raided by prosecutors investigating these allegations earlier this month. These include Vidente, a video equipment-making firm that reportedly owns a 34% stake in Bithumb. Open / Comment

2022-10-23 21:15:48 ​​ Hacker withdrew $300,000 from Olympus DAO and recovered stolen funds

So far the motive for the return is unclear - perhaps the project encountered a "white hacker," or the attacker changed his mind about the funds received. The hack occurred on Friday morning, after which the developers said:

"The hacker was able to take approximately 30,000 OHM (about $300,000) out of the OHM contract in the Bond protocol. The vulnerability was not discovered in the three audits or in our internal code reviews. There were also no reports of the vulnerability on the Immunefi platform. We have closed all markets exposed to the vulnerability and all other tools in the security."

A few hours later, however, the Olympus team reported that all stolen funds had been recovered and work was underway with Bond Protocol to resume operations.

As PeckShield stressed, the vulnerability was discovered in the Bond Protocol contracts themselves, so the Olympus DAO team is not responsible for the hack. The hacker used the vulnerability in the BondFixedExpiryTeller smart contract.

Note that if the hacker had reported the vulnerability to the Immunefi platform, he could have claimed a reward of up to $3.3 million.

A few days ago, the DeFi Moola Market protocol was hacked. The hackers managed to withdraw $9 million in assets. Open / Comment

2022-10-23 21:15:11 ​​ Kevin O'Leary: it's impossible not to embrace cryptocurrency innovation

After a brief collapse in the cryptocurrency market on October 13, Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary decided to speculate on the future of the industry. Previously, the popular investor was skeptical about new assets, but not so long ago he changed his mind about their prospects.

Earlier this year he disclosed some interesting facts about his investments in this sphere. It turned out that at that time about 20% of Kevin O'Leary's investment portfolio was in cryptocurrencies.

There are people who criticize me for my approach, but it is one of the reasons I have unwavering beliefs about the future of cryptocurrencies and NFT.

When a new technology comes along that can dramatically increase our level of productivity and improve transaction processing on a global scale, we have no choice but to keep up with the innovation.

O'Leary recently said that the potential of cryptocurrencies can be described as a "take-it-or-leave-it" proposition. He added that people have no choice but to use cryptocurrency.

In his opinion, the authorities should regulate the cryptocurrency market and start with stabelcoins and there should be special laws for them. Open / Comment

2022-10-21 15:30:00 ​Polkadot hits all-time high in development activity.

It's been almost one year since the start of the ecosystem's signature parachain auctions.

According to data from programming repository GitHub, Polkadot recognized more than 500 contributions each day in September — an all-time high for the multichain protocol. Simultaneously, data from Polkadot's cross-consensus interoperability standard XCM show that a record 26,258 messages were sent between its parachains. In total, 14,930 developers' contributions were recorded on Polkadot's GitHub in the month of August.

As told by project developers, 66 blockchains are now live on Polkadot and its parachain startup network Kusama. Since its inception, over 140,000 messages have been exchanged between chains via 135 messaging channels. Together, the Polkadot and Kusama Treasuries have cumulatively paid out 9.6 million DOT and 346,700 KSM ($72.8 million total) to fund spending proposals in the ecosystem.

Parachains are individual layer-1 blockchains that run in parallel on Polkadot and are first tested on Kusama. Auctions for parachain slots are held in the form of crowdloans, with the position going to the highest bidding project. The first of its kind took place last November. Open / Comment

2022-10-19 20:10:00 ​Three Aussie crypto funds halted as regulator cites non-compliance.

Three funds tracking Bitcoin, Ether and FileCoin have been issued interim stop orders by Australia’s market regulator due to “non-compliant” target market determinations.

Australia’s chief financial market regulator has placed interim stop orders on three cryptocurrency-related funds set to be offered to retail investors, due to non-compliant target market determinations (TMDs).

In a media release dated Oct. 17 local time, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) said it has placed interim stop orders on three of Australian asset manager Holon’s crypto funds, which separately aim to invest in Bitcoin.

A target market determination is a document that describes who a product is appropriate for, based on likely needs, objectives, and financial situation as well as how the product can be distributed, according to Invest Smart.

In a statement to Cointelegraph, a spokesperson from ASIC said the TMDs were “too broad given the volatility and speculative nature of crypto markets.” Open / Comment

2022-10-17 19:21:11 ​​ Whales have had a massive sell-off of 1.4 trillion SHIB in 24 hours

Online cryptocurrency tracker WhaleStats, which tracks transactions of major blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain and Polygon, recorded a massive sale of Shiba Inu tokens.

Large holders of the network got rid of $1.4 trillion of tokens, causing the crypto-asset to fall to fifth place in the amount of the largest savings among the serious whales of the ETH network.

Experts noted that the top 100 holders of virtual assets on the Ethereum network owned SHIB for a total of $159.67 million about twenty-four hours ago.

However, as of 2:30 p.m. Moscow time, that figure had dropped to $140.26 million. The difference in the number of tokens held on their balances was 1.44 trillion Shiba Inu.

Analysts noted that investors likely recorded short-term gains after Shiba Inu rose in value by several percent in the past few days. SHIB was now only 3.05 percent of the total assets in the portfolios of the major whales.

Social media users recalled that a week ago, PAC Protocol CEO David Gochstein predicted Shiba Inu would rise to $0.01. However, not many people are in solidarity with him.

The users emphasized that the price of SHIB was about $0.000013, while the total supply of assets was at $7.2 billion. The growth in value ten times will be possible only when the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market will overcome the mark of $10 trillion or more. Open / Comment

Crypto-industry experts told: they studied digital currencies associated with the decentralized finance sector and ranked the most profitable of them for the past week as of August 10, 2022.

The experts noted: despite the low-volatility market, some virtual tokens were able to increase in value quite significantly during the reporting period.

They named 3 assets that became more expensive by more than 25%.

Anyswap had the best performance of the week. The native token of the decentralized exchange platform ANY increased in price by 35.53%. Its price was fixed at $6.37. At the same time, during the last day the asset fell in price by 0.18%. Total supply of coins amounted to $118.78 mln.

The second line of the experts' rating was secured by Tellor, which unexpectedly rose to the top one hundred DeFi cryptocurrencies and took the 93rd place. The TRB token traded at $37.47, up 29.92% from a week ago. The market capitalization of the digital asset amounted to $63.83 million.

The third position was taken by the well-known DAO Maker project. Cryptocurrency DAO became more expensive by 24.8% over the past seven days. It was traded at $1.93, and the total supply of the digital token amounted to $136.93 million.

Rari Governance Token (RGT) received the status of the main loser of the week in terms of profitability. Its rate fell by 21.74% over the last week to $5.7, while the market offer fell to $71.09 million. Open / Comment
