Mt. Gox Trustee Announces One-Year Extension for Repayment Deadline
Nobuaki Kobayashi, the rehabilitation trustee for Mt. Gox, has officially pushed back the repayment deadline for the beleaguered exchange’s creditors. Originally slated for October 31, 2023, the new date has been extended to October 31, 2024, raising questions about the estate’s solvency and impact on the broader cryptocurrency market.
The Details of the Extension
Kobayashi issued a letter dated September 21 detailing the conditions for the extension. With the approval of the Tokyo District Court, the trustee has elongated the timeline for the base repayment, early lump-sum repayment, and intermediate repayment. While Kobayashi hinted that some repayments could commence by year-end for those creditors who have furnished necessary information, he also left the door open for further delays, stating, “the schedule is subject to change depending on the circumstances.”
Mt. Gox’s Dubious Legacy
For those new to the crypto scene, Mt. Gox was not just another exchange; it was the exchange, handling more than 70% of all Bitcoin transactions at its peak. However, its legacy was ruined by a colossal hack in 2011, leading to its eventual collapse in 2014. The event left a crater-sized hole in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, affecting roughly 24,000 creditors and vaporizing 850,000 BTC—approximately 4% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist.
As it stands, Mt. Gox estate has holdings of 142,000 Bitcoin, 143,000 Bitcoin Cash, and a staggering 69 billion Japanese yen. In dollar terms, the bankrupt exchange is slated to return more than $5 billion to its creditors. This amount breaks down to approximately $3.84 billion in BTC, $30 million in BCH, and $465 million in yen. These numbers could notably sway the crypto markets once liquidated, a factor that traders and investors should keenly watch.
A Decade of Waiting Continues
The creditors, many of whom have been in limbo for nearly a decade, are now shackled to another year of uncertainty. The latest extension is particularly infuriating for them as it creates a cascading delay that may affect the liquidity and value of their pending assets.
While the Mt. Gox saga has always loomed large over the cryptocurrency landscape, this new development could have nuanced effects on Bitcoin and other digital assets. The postponement of repayments could momentarily alleviate downward pressure on Bitcoin prices, as a massive liquidation is avoided for now. However, the continuous postponement also maintains a cloud of uncertainty that may deter new institutional investors from entering the space.
Optimism Announces a $26 Million OP Token Airdrop for DAO Participants!
Optimism, a layer 2 network built on the Ethereum network, has announced its third OP token airdrop, worth $26 million, to 31,870 addresses that participated in delegation activities of its DAO, the Optimism Collective.

A minimum threshold of 18,000 units was set, and to ensure a fair distribution, rewards were capped at 10,000 OP tokens for each address. The airdrop was aimed at increasing engagement on the platform and rewarding user participation.
Equation Announces Pre-launch in September, ReDeFining Perpetual Trading with BRMM Model
Equation, a pioneering decentralized perpetual protocol, is set to revolutionize perpetual trading with its groundbreaking BRMM model and commitment to fairness through a complete Fairlaunch approach.
The project is founded by experienced crypto trader 0xfermat and aims to redefine the trading experience by prioritizing user demands. Delivering a seamless, transparent, and trustless environment. With its upcoming pre-launch in September, Equation is poised to offer traders and Liquidity Providers (LPs) up to 200x leverage, access to near-unlimited liquidity, and enhanced capital efficiency on the Arbitrum network.
Visionary Origins
Equation‘s journey began with its visionary founder, known as “0xfermat” across social networks. Previously, he served as an algorithm engineer at a prominent algorithm-driven company. And later founded a financial technology company offering insurance actuarial and risk management solutions for banks and enterprises. Subsequently, he ventured into the world of cryptocurrency as a professional trader.
The impact of the FTX event on his life and finances led 0xfermat to make a crucial decision. He resolved to establish a fully decentralized on-chain protocol to combat the infringements on market and individual rights caused by centralized exchanges and “dictators”. Undertaking the creation of Equation’s underlying protocol single-handedly, 0xfermat has been instrumental in shaping the project’s foundation.
With a strong belief in decentralization, anonymity, and open-source architecture, 0xfermat steered Equation towards becoming a community-driven initiative. Operating as a DAO, the team consists of skilled individuals with robust technical backgrounds and superior trading expertise. Embracing the decentralized ethos, Equation’s team members maintain anonymity, ensuring a level playing field for all participants.
Fairlaunch Principle
Equation’s token emission will strictly adhere to Fairlaunch principle, eschewing institutional investors for mining-based token generation. This approach aligns with its commitment to fairness and equal opportunities for all participants. Token holders will not only have a voice in community governance but can also stake their tokens to earn a share of the protocol’s fee distribution. Fostering a sense of ownership and providing long-term incentives for engagement. This community-driven approach strengthen the protocol’s foundation and ensure a fair and inclusive ecosystem for all.
Innovative BRMM Model
Equation has pioneered the Balance Rate Market Maker (BRMM), an innovative Automated Market Maker (AMM) model, especially tailored for the perpetual contract market. Thanks to BRMM, Equation can offer traders and liquidity providers (LPs) unprecedented leverage of up to 200x. Traders can access larger positions and near-unlimited liquidity. Simultaneously, LPs benefit from enhanced capital efficiency, creating a win-win situation for all participants.
Diverging from traditional spot market AMMs, BRMM adopts a unique mechanism centered around the balance rate of the liquidity pool. Which results in more efficient price discovery and expanded market-making opportunities. In the BRMM model, liquidity providers (LPs) willingly accept the risk of temporary and manageable liquidity pool imbalances in exchange for the platform’s generous fee income. This ingenious approach empowers LPs to participate in market-making flexibly, providing deeper capital pool depth and ensuring traders benefit from a more stable trading experience.
By introducing BRMM, the perpetual contract market has witnessed heightened liquidity and improved price discovery functionalities, all while safeguarding the interests of LPs. This novel AMM model is anticipated to accelerate the perpetual contract market’s growth, ushering in greater innovations and opportunities within decentralized finance (DeFi).
Quote
“I launch Equation because I want to redefine perpetual trading by delivering a seamless, transparent, user-friendly trading experience, prioritizing user demands and streamlining a clear interface with minimal process. Equation is committed to providing a trustless transaction environment that enables users to achieve financial freedom.” — 0xfermat, Founder of Equation
Closing
The upcoming pre-launch for Equation in September brings anticipation and excitement, as traders and LPs gear up to experience the next level of perpetual trading on the Arbitrum network. Join Equation on its journey to redefine the trading landscape and unlock new opportunities in the crypto space.

Sensorium Announces First-Ever NFT Drop: Avatars Collection on Polygon
Up-and-coming Web3 developer, Sensorium, has announced its long-awaited NFT collection with the forthcoming drop of the SENSO DAPP NFT collection. 10,000 AI-powered avatars will be up for grabs as part of a multi-stage drop event set to kickoff in July.
Sensorium is also revealing that holders of its in-platform token, SENSO, will be having the opportunity of claiming avatars for free, adding another layer of anticipation for members of its growing SENSO community.
In an announcement, Sensorium has detailed how its first-ever NFT will unfold, emphasizing the benefits of holding a SENSO DAPP avatar for potential buyers as a key gateway into the platform’s growing virtual spaces, collectively known as Sensorium Lab.
The 10,000 NFT collection will be minted on Polygon blockchain and will see a yet-to-be disclosed number of avatars being made available in the first stage. To qualify for the free minting, users will have to hold at least 1500 SENSO tokens on-chain (in a cold wallet) before July 11. More details may be found here.
The drop will allow the SENSO community to unlock perks and benefits that they’ll be able to enjoy across the Sensorium ecosystem. DAPP avatars will be ranked according to the rarity of their traits – Casual, Exclusive and Premium -, and the company says they have been designed with enhanced utility in mind as buyers can expect to use their NFTs to play the SENSO DAPP card game, or as a unique skin in the VR metaverse.
In addition, DAPP avatars can be used to explore the growing worlds of Sensorium, including Sensorium Arc and the platform’s VR environments. Details are available on the SENSO DAPP website.

Mastercard Announces Plans to Broaden Crypto Card Program
As the financial landscape continues to embrace cryptocurrencies, Mastercard is making a move to stay ahead of the curve. In a recent announcement, the global payments giant revealed plans to expand its crypto card program, allowing for more seamless integration of digital currencies into everyday transactions. The decision to expand Mastercard’s crypto card program comes as the company recognizes the growing demand for cryptocurrency-related products and services.
Mastercard Seeks More Partnerships To Expand Its Crypto-Card Plans
Mastercard, the multinational financial giant, is preparing to extend its cryptocurrency payment card program by actively pursuing collaborations with a greater number of crypto firms. The company’s Head of Crypto and Blockchain shared this development as digital currencies continue to garner attention from regulators and traditional banks become increasingly cautious.
In its mission to incorporate cryptocurrencies into the mainstream, Mastercard has already teamed up with leading crypto exchanges such as Binance, Nexo, and Gemini. These partnerships have allowed the company to offer crypto-linked payment cards in select countries. Cards linked to Binance, for example, enable users to make payments in fiat currencies using their cryptocurrency holdings on the exchange.
Raj Dhamodharan, Mastercard’s head of crypto and blockchain, said:
“We have dozens of partners around the world who offer crypto card programs and they continue to expand. Providing access to crypto in a safe way is also part of our value proposition, and we’re continuing to do that.”
Mastercard Ensures Complete Regulation Before Launching Crypto-Cards
As banks become increasingly cautious of cryptocurrency clients, the sector faces heightened scrutiny following the collapse of several major crypto firms last year, including the bankruptcy of the prominent exchange FTX. Meanwhile, U.S. regulators are intensifying their efforts to address the market’s perceived lack of compliance.
In March, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed a lawsuit against Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange. The regulator accused Binance of operating an “illegal” exchange and a “sham” compliance program. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, however, responded to the complaint by asserting it presented an “incomplete recitation of facts.”
While not commenting on Binance specifically, Dhamodharan assured that any card program “goes through full due diligence” and is subject to ongoing monitoring.
Major banks, such as Santander and NatWest, have imposed limits on the funds UK customers can transfer to cryptocurrency exchanges as a protective measure against scams and fraud.
When questioned about the possibility of Mastercard imposing restrictions on the amount of money that could be transferred to crypto exchanges via its payment network, Dhamodharan responded,
“We’re not here to pick winners. We’re not here to pick which transaction should happen or shouldn’t happen.”
Dhamodharan emphasized that users of Mastercard’s network undergo numerous compliance checks and also mentioned that the company has invested in cutting-edge crypto analytics technology. Dhamodharan said,
“Mastercard is really quite enthusiastic about the underlying blockchain technology that powers cryptocurrencies. We think more and more regulated money will come to this.”
Breaking: UK Tax Authority Announces DeFi Lending And Staking Tax Reforms To Avoid Tax Evasion
The decentralized finance (DeFi) space has been the subject of much interest and intrigue among investors and regulators alike. Its ability to facilitate rapid and anonymous financial transactions has raised eyebrows, particularly when it comes to avoiding taxes.
Governments worldwide are now taking a closer look at DeFi platforms and proposing new regulations to curb tax evasion and ensure transparency in the crypto industry. In response to recent crypto market failures and growing concerns over tax evasion, the UK’s tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), has proposed changes to the tax treatment of DeFi lending and staking.
HMRC Takes Aim At DeFi Tax Loopholes
The UK’s tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), recently announced that they are seeking public input on proposed changes to the tax treatment of decentralized finance (DeFi) lending and staking.
The announcement follows a 2022 call for evidence, with the authority citing recent crypto market failures, such as the collapse of the FTX exchange, as reasons for increased regulatory scrutiny in the sector.
Global regulators have been closely monitoring DeFi, as policymakers have identified specific risks associated with the technology. These risks include cybersecurity threats, technical vulnerabilities, and growing interdependence between traditional and decentralized financial systems. Additionally, policymakers have noted a lack of safety nets during times of market stress, further fueling their concerns.
Under the present regulations, DeFi transactions may be classified as disposals, allowing lenders or liquidity providers to write them off as gifts or sales, even when the ownership of the asset remains unchanged. The consultation document mentions:
“This can lead to tax outcomes that do not reflect the underlying economic substance, and to a tax liability from a transaction where no gain has been realized in a form which can be used to meet the liability. The need to determine and record the market value of assets at each step in the transaction may also give rise to a disproportionate administrative burden.”
UK Ensures No Tax Evasion In DeFi Transactions
The proposed alterations would ensure that DeFi transactions are not considered disposals for tax purposes, only occurring when crypto assets are “economically disposed of in a non-DeFi transaction,” according to the consultation. The new framework might also classify all DeFi returns as revenue in nature, subjecting them to a “new miscellaneous income charge” in order to reduce administrative burdens.
Although the proposed framework primarily targets DeFi lending and staking, it is also intended to apply to centralized finance (CeFi), where crypto lending or staking is facilitated through intermediaries.
The HMRC has previously adapted existing tax rules for crypto, including offering a tax break for foreign investors purchasing crypto through local agents. The consultation will be open for eight weeks, concluding on June 22.
With transactions happening autonomously and across decentralized networks, tracking and taxing DeFi transactions has proven to be an uphill task. One major hurdle for the government will be the complex nature of DeFi transactions. Smart contracts that power DeFi platforms execute transactions without the need for a central authority or intermediary.
Another challenge that the government will face is the borderless nature of DeFi transactions. Cryptocurrencies can be traded and transferred across borders with ease, making it difficult for authorities to determine the tax jurisdiction for DeFi transactions.
HMRC’s proposal to reform the tax treatment of DeFi lending and staking signals a growing awareness among regulators of the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the DeFi space. As the DeFi ecosystem continues to be on an upward road, it is crucial for governments and regulators to work together to develop clear and comprehensive frameworks that promote transparency, protect investors, and maintain the integrity of the financial system with zero tax evasion.
Algorand Announces Web2 To Web3 Migration Tools, Cardano Soft Launches Blockchain Education Platform And TMS Network Introduces The Best Presale
With many analysts anticipating a bull run to arrive eventually, now is the ideal moment to include a crypto asset in your investment portfolio. And because of this, investors and experts alike have been enamoured by TMS Network (TMSN), a project in Stage 2 of its presale that some say will be the best investment option of 2023. But how will it compare to cryptos such as Algorand (ALGO) and Cardano (ADA)? Let’s see!
Algorand (ALGO)
AlgoKit, a suite of tools for programmers created by Algorand (ALGO), intends to speed up the development of Web3 applications and entice developers with experience in more traditional languages to adopt Algorand (ALGO).
However, this news did not help the Algorand (ALGO) performance on the price charts, as it is now worth $0.2162, falling 0.17 over the past day. On a positive note, the trading volume for Algorand (ALGO) shows that interest in it still exists, with a jump of 28% in that same time as it sits at $53,042,136.
Bullish analysts predict that Algorand (ALGO) could rise to $0.28 soon, but any surges beyond that would not be noteworthy as it still lacks the real-world utility that could push it to the top.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano (ADA) recently launched the Alpha version of its Blockchain Education program, which already has over 600 sign-ups. This program will include open-source transcripts making translation simple for each Cardano (ADA) user.
This news sparked a small rally for the Cardano (ADA) coin as it trades at $0.385, up 1.41% in the last 24 hours. However, when looking at the technical analysis for Cardano (ADA), we notice a bearish pattern forming with all of its technical indicators and moving averages showing sell signals.
Experts foresee a $0.45 valuation for Cardano (ADA) before consolidating, which has made many token holders seek out new projects that could be more profitable in the long run.
TMS Network (TMSN)
TMS Network (TMSN) will be a one-of-a-kind Ethereum-based, decentralized trading platform allowing all users to purchase or sell all derivatives without needing FIAT payment – simply link your crypto wallet, and you can begin trading!
TMS Network’s primary goal is to uphold reliability, safety, and anonymity in all trading operations on the platform. And thanks to blockchain technology, all of those goals are easily achievable! Smart contracts will control all trade-related actions on the TMS Network (TMSN), and on-chain analytics will help you on your trading journey!
Not only that, TMS Network (TMSN) enables traders to streamline their trading methods and cut down on the amount of time needed to maintain their portfolios by giving traders access to a variety of trading bots and a strategy builder.
The platform has attracted much interest since its presale has advanced faster than expected. For just $0.05 you can obtain governance voting rights, commissions from each trade on the platform, and much more – an excellent bargain!
But do not hesitate as this price won’t be available for much longer, with some experts predicting that TMSN could pass $1.10 by the time its presale concludes. We believe that TMS Network (TMSN) could change the entire trading industry, and you can be an early part of it by signing up for its presale below!

Top Project NFT Inspect Announces Return Two Months After Shutting Down
NFT Inspect, a Web3 social intelligence platform that specializes in NFT market analysis, has said it is back in business, via a tweet, on March 24. Previously, NFT Inspect announced on January 4 that it would shut down its operations completely by January 17.
However, the team did say the shutdown may not be irreversible. “We are so grateful for the outpouring of support following our recent announcement. Several parties have come forward with alternative solutions to our original plan of shutting down. As such, we’re deferring shutdown to allow those conversations to continue,” NFT Inspect noted on Jan 11th.
While it is unclear why NFT Inspect decided to get back on track now, the community had been very supportive and offered help. For instance, Twitter user @Hantao, a cofounder at QU3ST_io, offered to utilize the project’s technology for some Web3 games in development. Another Twitter user, @elliottrades, a developer at SuperVerseDAO, offered undisclosed help to the NFT Inspeact team.
NFT Inspect Market Outlook
The announcement to reopen NFT Inspect operation has sparked a lot of attention from the community members, as the Twitter comments section shows. NFT Inspect brought together over 1,000 NFT communities and generated over 175K new NFT connections during its first tenure.
NFT Inspect highlights NFT collections and provides crucial data, including the total number of NFT holders, floor price, total volume and total items in each NFT project. Additionally, the NFT Inspect website provides a collection comparison feature to help users analyze different metrics, including social media following and uniqueness, among others.
According to experts, NFT Inspect has the potential to shake up the worldwide NFT market as it utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to allow NFT enthusiasts to explore digital artworks on Twitter.
The 2022 cryptocurrency winter took down several very large crypto projects. Additionally, the global crypto regulatory crackdown significantly discouraged many developing teams, which resulted in shutdowns and rug pulls. As a result, some crypto projects with potential growth prospects were forced to cut down their workforce, raise more funds or partner with other projects to survive.
With the ongoing global banking crisis, which has seen the collapse of three regional banks in the United States in a matter of weeks, investors’ confidence in the blockchain, digital banking and cryptocurrency industries has been on the rise. As a result, money flow to the altcoin market is expected to spike, which includes the non-fungible tokens (NFT) industry that is NFT Inspect’s primary niche.
Revolutionary Presale HedgeUp (HDUP) Announces Daily Giveaway, While Axie Infinity (AXS) and Flow (FLOW) Continue to Sink
Tokens like Axie Infinity (AXS) and Flow are burning many investors who bought at the peak of the hype cycle and leaving those that still have holdings with increasingly heavy bags.
This situation is going to stay the same for Axie Infinity (AXS) and Flow (FLOW).
However, there is still plenty of bullish sentiment for tokens with real, tangible utility and unique value propositions like HedgeUp (HDUP) as it enters its second presale stage. Let’s see what HedgeUp (HDUP) will do better than Axie Infinity (AXS) and Flow (FLOW) moving forward.
HedgeUp (HDUP)
Previously, small-time investors needed access to lucrative investment opportunities in the alternative investment market due to capital limitations and the dominance of wealthy investors.
HedgeUp (HDUP) is a blockchain investment platform that plans to address these limitations of the alternative investment industry using equity-backed NFTs.
The company aims to achieve this by minting fractionalized NFTs backed by real assets and then offering the NFTs to regular investors for as low as $1 on its platform.
The HedgeUp (HDUP) ecosystem has several features, such as the Launchpad, where investors can access new opportunities, an exchange for trading tokens, a swap, a wallet to store your tokens securely, and a metaverse to be launched soon.
One thing driving the demand for HedgeUp (HDUP) tokens is the function the project serves in the alternative investment and crypto market.
Security is a core feature of the HedgeUp (HDUP) platform. All transactions are automated by secure smart contracts that have been audited by top audit companies, Solidity Finance and CoinSniper, for security and trust.
HedgeUp (HDUP) is currently holding its second presale stage; many crypto analysts have predicted that the price of the HDUP token will increase by over 100% before the end of 2023. Do not miss this golden opportunity ahead of the token’s exchange listing.
Axie Infinity (AXS)
Axie Infinity (AXS) is a turn-based card game built on the Ethereum network that allows players to breed, raise, battle, and trade Axie creatures.
Axie Infinity is a Tamagotchi and Pokémon-inspired game that utilizes NFTs to represent unique creatures, abilities, land plots, and other in-game assets.
Players can earn two tokens, Small Love Potions (SLP) and Axie Infinity Shards (AXS), by playing Axie Infinity in either Arena or Adventure modes.
AXS is the platform’s native token, also serving as a governance token, allowing token holders to vote on the future development of the gaming experience.
Axie Infinity (AXS) gained massive followers during the Covid-19 pandemic as many people looked for ways to keep themselves busy and alternative sources of income.
Today, Axie Infinity (AXS) has lost most of its players and investors. That led to the AXS token price losing almost 95% of its value, from a peak of $165 in 2021 to less than $9 as of March 2023.
Flow (FLOW)
Flow (FLOW) is a decentralized and developer-friendly platform. The project is designed as a foundation for the new generation of applications, games, and digital assets.
The Flow project is based on the framework that attains the required performance for mainstream applications. This performance is achieved without compromising its decentralization.
Therefore, a developer can build secure applications to help people around the world. The network is designed as the base of a new digital economy governed and owned by the users.
The project empowers the developers to build cryptocurrency-enabled businesses, as it intends to keep consumers in control of their data.
It also aims to provide the flexibility to developers to create digital assets and content that can be traded on any open market accessible worldwide.
At the height of the bull run in 2021, Flow (FLOW) token prices peaked at $39.15, to the delight of early investors.
However, since 2022, Flow (FLOW) has gone on a terminal freefall, losing over 90% of its value. As of March 2023, FLOW trades around $1.05, indicative of investors’ lack of belief in the long-term viability of the project.

Filecoin (FIL) Announces FEVM while Arweave (AR) Is at A Decline and TMS Network (TMSN) Passed Stage 1 Of Its Presale
Staying in the loop about the latest and greatest blockchain-based projects is essential for any serious cryptocurrency trader and investor aiming to make a solid portfolio filled with high-growth potential altcoins.
Recently, Filecoin (FIL), Arweave (AR), and TMS Network (TMSN) have all been a point of discussion for a lot of them. However, each cryptocurrency has performed differently.
Today, we will dive into what makes these projects stand out and why investors might have been eyeing or avoiding them.
Filecoin (FIL)
Filecoin (FIL) gathered a lot of attention upon the announcement surrounding the Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine (FEVM).
On Twitter, the development team behind the project announced that the launch would occur on March 14, 2023.
The EEVM being built for FIlecoin will bring smart contracts and user programmability to the network. Additionally, it will also lead to enhanced usability.
On March 8, 2023, Filecoin (FIL) was trading at $5.73. This indicates a decrease of 17.59% in the last seven days and a decrease of 2.43% in the last 24 hours. Based on the performance of the cryptocurrency, the cryptocurrency has entered a red zone.
Investors might be prompted to look at alternative cryptocurrencies as a result of this decrease.
Arweave (AR)
Arweave (AR) is another cryptocurrency that investors and traders have discussed, but things have not been looking too bullish for the cryptocurrency. In fact, the situation is bearish, as AR has decreased by 21.28% within the last seven days.
As of March 8, 2023, Arweave (AR) is trading at a value of $8.01. In the last 24 hours alone, the cryptocurrency decreased by 6.06%.
Based on the analytical data, AR as a cryptocurrency is headed toward a downward momentum, and there are no guarantees that it can kick back up in terms of its value.
TMS Network (TMSN)
TMS Network (TMSN) is a newer blockchain-based project that has completed the first stage of its presale and has grabbed the attention of investors and traders looking for ways through which they can diversify their portfolios after the decrease of the cryptocurrencies mentioned above.

Huobi Global Announces $100 Million Investment in Liquidity Fund to Enhance Multi-Currency Liquidity
Singapore / March 10, 2023 / Huobi has announced a $100 million Liquidity Fund with the aim of enhancing currency liquidity across several markets. The purpose of this action is to reinforce the seamless flow of liquid assets through the Huobi platform.

Furthermore, all work continues at an even pace without any unexpected incidents occurring thus far. This clearly shows how the current fluctuations are just part of normal market behavior patterns.
Huobi is making strides in enhancing their platform and user experience with a fresh liquidity fund. The objective of this investment will be to heighten the multi-currency liquidity on offer, ultimately improving ease-of-access for traders across global markets. This strategic move promises advantageous positioning within Huobi’s competitive cryptocurrency exchange market sector as well.

Cardano’s Top NFT Marketplace, JPG Store, Announces Plans To Empower More Artists Globally
JPG Store improves its site’s language translations to provide easier access for international artists to create NFTs for a global community of buyers.
[ GLOBAL ] – February 28, 2023 – Today, JPG.Store announced the launch of Language Localization, a feature which improves the quality of the site’s translations for the benefit of its global community. This feature launch is part of a larger strategy aimed at providing the non-English speaking world with equal access to opportunity in the NFT economy. With the cost of minting an NFT on Cardano averaging less than $1, the JPG Team is excited for their language efforts to attract and support more creators globally, especially those previously priced out by blockchains with expensive gas fees.
“We’re passionate about creating as much opportunity as we can for all creators,” said Blakelock Brown, CEO of JPG Store. “We’ve proudly paid out millions in royalties to our current NFT creators, but this massive opportunity should belong to all people. Eliminating language barriers is only a small piece of our exciting plans to endlessly empower international artists and collectors alike.”
To ensure users receive high-quality translations which update quickly, JPG Store now uses a global team of human linguists paired with advanced machine language technology to craft the site’s translations. The first languages to be supported are Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simp), Portuguese, French, and Spanish (LatAm). JPG Store engineers have also developed an auto-translating Discord bot to ensure users of all languages receive the same high-quality customer service the support team is widely recognized for.
“We strive to hire the best minds we can find so we’re a highly diverse team ourselves,” commented Shannon Brown, Cofounder of JPG Store. “We proudly come from over 15 different countries, so nurturing NFT adoption and opportunity globally is something we deeply value on a personal level.”
In a little over a year since its launch, JPG Store has catalyzed Cardano’s NFT industry to reach over $477M in total sales, handling 97% of the blockchain’s current NFT volume. With recent launches of Coti’s new Djed Stablecoin and Liqwid’s DeFi Lending Protocol attracting outside liquidity to Cardano, the JPG team anticipates NFT trading volume to grow alongside its maturing DeFi ecosystem. At time of writing, Cardano ranks as the 4th largest NFT blockchain by volume over the last 30 days.
About JPG Store:
JPG Store is Cardano’s #1 NFT Marketplace that believes in people, the planet, & purpose before profit. They believe in endlessly supporting all creators globally and all supporting creator royalties.
Join their mission to create a brighter future for all. They have got art, hippos, and top-notch community.

Aptos Labs Announces New Features – APT Price Massive Surge On Horizon!
The Aptos (APT) network, a layer 1 (L1) blockchain that has attracted significant crypto attention, has rallied more than 385 percent in the past 30 days. Trading around $18.25 on Thursday, the APT market has recorded total liquidations of about $6.08 million in the past 24 hours. As more traders take profits, the APT bulls are losing the rising momentum that has existed for the whole of January.
As such, the latest layer 1 blockchain with huge on-chain activity may be looking into an imminent correction. Furthermore, the APT price in the four-hour time frame has broken from a rising trend line.
Nonetheless, the Aptos developers are busy building infrastructure to onboard more NFT and crypto traders. As a result, the Aptos price could rally onward to the price discovery region and set new ATH.
Aptos (APT) Network Welcome New Upgrades
Backed by hundreds of developers distributed around the world, the Aptos network is constantly getting upgrades to meet the demand for decentralized applications. On Wednesday, the Aptos blockchain announced the release of a new upgrade dubbed v1.2.4. Notably, the Aptos node upgrade is meant to bring new features and enhancements to the developers and reciprocate to users.
With the new upgrade, the Aptos blockchain added exponential back-off to reduce timeouts for full nodes in low-bandwidth environments. Additionally, Aptos v1.2.4 has made several small performance optimizations to reduce latencies and better handle timeouts.
Previously, the Aptos team had made several changes including some that could render the network incapacitated.
“Our team also fixed a couple of bugs that had the potential to crash the validator or DoS the system. We identified these issues as part of our routine third-party auditing and bug bounty program,” Aptos Lab noted.

Venom Foundation Announces Landmark $1 Billion Web3 Fund
Layer-1 blockchain Venom Foundation has joined forces with investment manager Iceberg Capital, with the pair announcing a $1 billion venture fund to support promising web3 companies solving real-world problems.
Named Venom Ventures Fund (VVF), the blockchain-agnostic fund will be largely focused on startups involved in payments, asset management, DeFi, banking services, and blockchain gaming. Developers and builders working on innovative web3 projects are encouraged to apply via the VVF website.
Funding a Web3 Future
Although the value of the fund is destined to generate the most headlines, both entities intend to assist their chosen projects in a number of ways, leveraging their network and expertise to offer support in areas such as marketing, exchange listing, technical, legal, and regulatory.
Both Venom Foundation and Iceberg Capital are regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), with the latter being the first registered crypto foundation in the market. The fund will invest in projects and teams from pre-seed to Series A rounds, with ex-BlackRock CIO Peter Knez and serial MENA investor Mustafa Kheriba charged with identifying startups that can accelerate the adoption of web3 while delivering a meaningful return for investors.
“Even though the blockchain industry is witnessing a steep correction in prices, we believe that builders will continue to build and innovate,” says Mustafa Kheriba, Executive Chairman of Iceberg Capital. “With Venom Ventures, we will be providing financial, technical, and marketing support to the most promising teams and projects in web3 space to help them bring their visions to life.”
Venom Ventures Chairman Peter Knez added, “I am excited to work with a team of experienced investment professionals and talented people from the crypto industry, and we are ready to allocate strategic investments in the most innovative web3 startups that are poised for mass adoption. Our mission is to transform digital asset management and make a lasting impact on the industry.”
The new partners have wasted little time in scouting the industry for projects in need of its financial muscle: its first pledge was in Nümi Metaverse’s oversubscribed $20 million funding round in December. The creator-friendly platform is set to launch several products this year, including a mini-game experience (Visual Novel) and an all-encompassing VR metaverse.
Web3 Whales
Ten-figure web3 funds are not the norm, though there are a few other treasure chests available to talented developers. Animoca Brands’ fund Animoca Capital, for instance, is also worth $1bn, while VC giant Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has built a $4.5bn war chest. The Venom Ventures Fund, however, is notable due to the regulatory green light its creators have received from the Abu Dhabi Global Market, an international financial center located on Al Maryah Island in the capital of the UAE.
According to a recent report from Chainalysis, the MENA region and North Africa were the fastest-growing markets for crypto adoption last year. Interestingly, the Central Bank of the UAE recently concluded a CBDC pilot for cross-border payments, news that won’t have escaped the attention of Venom – a blockchain that has ambitions to become a bridge for the adoption of CBDCs in the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond.
Bankrupt Crypto Firm Voyager Announces Agreement With Binance US To Acquire Its Assets
As Binance makes itself at the top of the headline in the crypto market by raising concerns regarding its proof-of-reserves audit, the crypto giant now attracts fresh attention after signing a deal with a popular crypto firm to acquire its assets.
Recently, Voyager Digital Ltd grabbed the best deal from the crypto exchange giant Binance US for selling off its assets after a review of a strategic bidding session with the main motive of maximizing the value returned to the platform’s users and other creditors on a specific time frame.
Binance US To Acquire Voyager’s Assets With $1 Billion Valuation
This year has been rough and tough for the entire crypto space after FTX’s bankruptcy filing and recent controversies made on Binance’s audit reports. Voyager Digital, which sits on the top of the crypto space with a robust user base of 3.5 million and $5.9 billion worth of assets, has collapsed to the ground after filing its chapter 11 bankruptcy on 6 July. However, the crypto firm once tried to sell its assets to FTX’s owner SBF for $1.42 billion in September, but the deal went in vain after FTX drastically collapsed in November.
However, Binance US now paves a clear road to return locked funds of Voyager’s users as the crypto giant won the highest bid of $1.022 billion for acquiring Voyager’s assets. Binance made the agreement clear as it was composed of the current situation and market value of Voyager Digital with an additional consideration of $20 million of incremental value.
Voyager declared that the company’s claims against Three Arrows Capital remain in the state of bankruptcy, and any further recovery on the shares will be returned to the creditors.
Binance Shapes Up Voyager Amid Bankruptcy
In compliance with the court’s documents, the primary motive of Binance US is to return the funds of users and investors of Voyager Digital. Moreover, Binance US will make a good faith deposit of $10 million to reimburse Voyager’s expenses with a maximum expenditure of $15 million. The deal may close with a one-month extension from 18 April 2023.
The next hearing is scheduled on 5 January 2023, where Voyager will gain bankruptcy court approval to execute the asset purchase with Binance US completely. Additionally, it has been made clear that Binance will work closely with Voyager to complete each transaction to comply with the Chapter 11 plan. The timeline and return of locked assets to customers will be made public, and it can be viewed by visiting the Voyager case website https://cases.stretto.com/Voyager.
Voyager officially stated, “Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause Voyager’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of its future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.”
Binance has widely dominated the crypto industry as it controls over half of the global crypto trading volume. However, the crypto exchange has caught the eye of several US regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Justice Department, in a possible money-laundering case and severe violations in the crypto market.
Despite being the messiah amid several firms’ collapse and bankruptcy, Binance has seen a sharp drop in its users’ confidence in storing crypto funds on the platform as it witnesses a massive surge in withdrawals over the last few days with its raising concerns about audit reports.
However, Binance seems to provide clear reports to the crypto community, and it may soon wipe out customers’ concerns by barring the platform from becoming another FTX.

Binance Announces Significant Hacker Attack
There aren’t many businesses that want to announce that they have suffered a massive loss of money and those in the Cryptocurrency industry are no exception. However, earlier this month BNB chain disclosed that they had lost a significant amount of money due to a hacker attack. The blockchain which is linked to the Binance Cryptocurrency exchange released the news which is less than ideal for anyone that is hoping Cryptocurrency winter is over and that things will go back to being slightly less volatile.
What Do We Know?
Binance is the world’s biggest Cryptocurrency exchange which is why it might not be a surprise that has recently gotten the attention of hackers. However, what many people might not have been able to predict is that a hacking attack would be able to cost them over $560 million. It wasn’t the platform itself that was targeted, instead, the Binance Smart Chain became a victim of hackers. It is this blockchain that works as a bridge for any asset transfers between networks and so the news that it can get hacked will worry many investors. As you might imagine, the CEO of Binance was quick to release a statement and recently sat down with CNBC News to talk to them about what happened. He emphasised the fact that this is something that we should be learning from saying “cross-chain bridges were particularly vulnerable to hacks and the industry needed to get better at learning from them.” Within this hack attack, no end users actually lost any money, but those that are investing large amounts of money in Cryptocurrency will certainly want to know what is being done to make sure that something like this can’t happen again.
Talking on their own platform they talked in more detail about how the series of attacks happened and how they will share further details of how it was able to happen later down the line. Of course, their priority is to make the system safe again and ensure that investors have peace of mind and confidence in using their platform once again.
The History of Cyber Attacks
Of course, Binance isn’t the only Cryptocurrency platform to fall victim to hackers and realistically they won’t be the last. Technology and the security system is always improving and getting harder to crack but then so is the software that the hackers use to infiltrate systems in this way.
We know that Chainalysis had around $2 billion stolen in a series of hack attacks, as well as the Cryptocurrency based game Axie Infinity which lost $600 million in a similar attack earlier this year. At the start of this year, the Wormhole Network was also a victim of a hack attack which saw them lose $325 million. These hack attacks may seem like they’re not a regular occurrence but with so much money held and transferred within the Cryptocurrency network, there are always going to be unscrupulous people that want to ensure they have a slice of the pie.
What Happens Next?
Experts are suggesting that this recent hack is a perfect example of why there needs to be more regulation in the crypto industry, similar to how the gambling industry has regulators to ensure safety for its users when they are getting casino offers.
Blockchain providers and Cryptocurrency platforms will no doubt be looking at the security of their own software and doing what they can to ensure that everything is as secure as possible. All eyes will be on Binance to see how they handle this and what changes (if any) they will make in the future.
It is currently run via a decentralised chain, which is something that will be debated to see if that is the best course of action in this instance.
“Decentralised chains are not designed to be stopped, but by contacting community validators one by one, we were able to stop the incident from spreading,” Binance Smart Chain said in its statement. “This delayed closure, but we were able to minimise the loss.”
The next step is for the Binance Smart Chain community to vote on what they think should happen – one thing they’ll be discussing is whether the stolen funds should be frozen and whether a reward should be put in place for anyone that helps them capture the hackers.
The Future of Cryptocurrency
There is no denying that Cryptocurrency is considered volatile even for those that choose to invest in it, but after the last few months many would have preferred news that would make it less volatile rather than more. We’ve seen some big value crashes throughout 2022 which had led to many people considering this period a Crypto winter and we had just got to the stage where people were hoping we could be in for a thaw and that things would start to improve. However, news of hacking attacks like this will do nothing to strengthen people’s confidence in digital currency and many will worry that it could lead to further drops in value later down the line.
However, what we do know is that the future is pretty impossible for people to predict – otherwise everyone would be doing it. We have less of a track record with Cryptocurrency than we do other similar financial investment opportunities so there are fewer opportunities to see what happened in the past.
Long-term the Binance attack will be forgotten as other platforms fall victim to similar crimes and other digital currency news dominates the headlines. However, for this month it is likely to have an effect on whether people choose to invest new money in Cryptocurrency and that could have an effect on the value, at least in the short term. Investors will be keeping an eye on the news regarding Binance and digital currency, keen to hear what steps the platform and blockchain have taken to ensure that an attack of this nature can be avoided in the future before they take the plunge and invest once again.

The actual trading fee received will be proceeded by MEXC and will implement secondary market buybacks on a daily basis. Also, on a daily basis, MEXC will make arrangements to send LUNC tokens obtained from the secondary buy back of LUNC to the official burn address that is provided by Terra.
Currently, MEXC ranks second for the LUNC burning, with 581,983,415.1228 LUNC buy back.
What is Terra Protocol?
Terra is a blockchain protocol that uses fiat-pegged stablecoins to power price-stable global payment systems. According to its white paper, Terra combines the price stability and wide adoption of fiat currencies with the censorship-resistance of Bitcoin (BTC) and offers fast and affordable settlements.
Developments on Terra began in January 2018, and its official launch of its mainnet in April 2019. As of September 2021, Terra offers stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar, South Korean won, Mongolian tugrik and the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights basket of currencies — and intends to roll out additional options.
Rebranding of Terra
After the collapse of the stablecoin of the Terra ecosystem, the LUNA community has proposed various methods to rescue the Terra ecosystem. Among them, the passage of Proposal 1623 brought substantial progress to rescue the Terra ecosystem by creating a brand new chain and began to airdrop its new tokens to the users of the Terra ecosystem.
On May 28, 2022, the genesis block of the new chain was launched to conduct future transactions under the name Terra (LUNA), and the original Terra Chain was rebranded as Terra Classic. The original native token LUNA has also been renamed as LUNA Classic (LUNC). After the tax proposal was released, the price of LUNC increased by 100%.
MEXC Global Initiatives
Three months ago, MEXC Global initiated another LUNA recovery plan by burning and buying back LUNA as well. Since then, LUNA hit the highest gain of 2,430%.

Kinoapp.xyz Announces Its Founding Membership
Kino is financing films differently so that anyone can invest in and experience Hollywood movies while protecting the rights and ownership of its creators.
THE PROBLEM part 1: Hollywood Accounting.
THE PROBLEM part 2: Unprotected Artist Rights.
THE SOLUTION: Kinoapp.xyz and what it brings.
Hollywood Accounting
What is Hollywood Accounting? Sometimes referred to as “Hollywood Bookkeeping”, are the terms for the opaque or creative accounting methods used by the film/television industry to budget or record profits for film projects. Expenditures can be inflated to reduce or eliminate the reported profit of the project, thereby reducing the amount the corporation must pay in taxes and royalties or other profit-sharing agreements, as these are based on net profit. Effectively, this means funneling the majority of the profit to the few at the top, leaving the artists (who have invested their time, energy, and intellectual property) without proper compensation. Artists in a 212 Billion dollar industry shouldn’t have to struggle, but unfortunately, most do. Hence the term “Struggling Artist”, is much more colloquially known. Kino is changing this.
Artists’ Rights:
Artists’ rights have also been at risk, especially revolving around intellectual property. In the film world, it’s common practice for a studio or network to purchase a script or concept to own the rights to the creative idea. They then have the ability to change, adjust, and claim ownership over that original concept, transforming the idea into whatever they want. Or, claiming that they made the idea in the first place. They have the final say over who plays the part, how the story should go, or if it should ever even be released. The integrity of the original idea can get watered down by executive opinions, who more often than don’t have a personal connection or understanding of the story’s perspective. Kino believes artists should be compensated for the art and ideas they create from conception to execution. Cultivating a platform for a wide range of stories to be told while giving fans of Kinoapp.xyz collaborating artists have a chance to invest, experience, and participate in the movie-making process. The democratization of the film/television industry begins with the transparency of Blockchain.
The Kinoapp.xyz
The first step is the unveiling of the Kinoapp.xyz Founding Membership, launching on September 7th. Founded by Daril Fannin (Writer/Executive Producer who has created films/tv shows with Matt Damon, Peter Berg, & Jimmy Kimmel for Netflix & Disney) and Austin Worrell (co-founder of the fastest growing social impact token that reached over $500M market cap with over 500K holders.). Kinoapp.xyz is releasing 1000 lifetime Founding Memberships, which provide a chance for anyone to access, invest and participate in every future Kino project.
Members can invest in productions consisting of talent who have won or been nominated for Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globes, collect a piece of digital and/or physical art from the projects (ie. props, costumes), and experience filmmaking from script to screen (i.e set visits, red carpets). They’ll also get “whitelist” (aka: early) access to all Kinoapp.xyz drops, have priority for all future ones, and have the opportunity to attend the First Annual Kinoapp.xyz Party happening Dec 2022 alongside a community of celebrities, industry professionals, financiers & other fellow Founding Members.
“Money is being made (in this industry) but not being given to the people doing the work,” says Co-Founder Fannin. “By democratizing access to film/tv through this new economic model, Kinoapp.xyz is also redefining the fan experience by bringing them in before the movie is made. Members can experience a project from creation to release. “The mission is to protect artists, bridge connections with fans, create a platform for unrepresented communities, and to make some cool shit.”
Become a Founding Member! Pre-mint ends at midnight on Sept 5th and the public sale begins on Sept 7th. Join the revolution.
