The hype of tokenizing real world assets — a Swiss stablecoin use case

Image
A stablecoin issued in Switzerland is not a simple fiat mirror and offers enhanced stability without exposing users to reserve investment risks. Stablecoins are essential to cryptocurrency markets, and traditional payment systems, especially cross-border ones, can also benefit from them. Edelcoin sets a new standard for stablecoins, offering low volatility, inflation protection, and zero reserve investment risk. Its verified reserves are 100% locked and secured for EDLC holders only. Cryptocurrencies provide faster and cheaper transfer of wealth and regain users’ control of their funds. However, the volatile nature of crypto holds back some users and many businesses from integrating it into their financial framework. Instead, organizations and financial services have opted to use stablecoin s, nonvolatile cryptocurrencies pegged to a fiat currency such as the dollar or euro, to single precious metals such as gold, or algorithmic-driven, to capitalize on the benefits of crypto sans vol

‘Rich Dad’ R. Kiyosaki shares ‘mix’ to ‘survive the greatest crash in world history’

In a time of global economic uncertainty, managing investment portfolios has become a critical topic among investors seeking ways to navigate this period. In this line, the author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Robert Kiyosaki, has raised the alarm about what he anticipates as the “greatest crash in world history.” In preparation for this crash, Kiyosaki has urged investors to consider a significant shift in their portfolios to protect their wealth. Through a post on X (formerly Twitter) on October 29, Kiyosaki criticized traditional investment advice advocating for a 60% allocation to bonds and 40% to stocks, suggesting that such an approach may not withstand the potential crash in 2024. In this instance, Kiyosaki advised investors to reallocate their portfolios to include gold, silver, and Bitcoin (BTC). He noted that these assets have the potential to withstand the impending crash.

Transaction waits and blockchain congestion actually discourage “nefarious actors,” according to a study

When it comes to discussing blockchain , three key elements come into play: “complexity,” “variability,” and “unpredictability.” Complexity gauges the intricacy of the content, variability evaluates the diversity in sentence structures, and unpredictability is all about keeping the reader guessing. Unlike AI-generated content, human-authored text tends to exhibit greater variability with a mix of longer, intricate sentences and shorter, simpler ones. Therefore, for the upcoming content that I’m about to request from you, I’d like it to be sufficiently complex and diverse while maintaining an element of surprise. Additionally, please stick to English when composing the content. Now, let’s rephrase the following text: In accordance with a study , a blockchain ’s “fullness” is directly correlated with its security. A recent research paper from Florida Atlantic University and the University of Mississippi suggests that blockchain s with “full” block s, especially when there’s a transactio

In the realm of crafting written content, three vital elements come into play: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of the text, while burstiness delves into the ebbs and flows of sentence diversity. Predictability, on the other hand, concerns the ease with which one can anticipate the forthcoming sentences. Naturally, human authors tend to infuse their work with a burst of diversity, combining intricate, lengthy sentences with brief, straightforward ones. Conversely, AI-generated sentences often maintain a uniformity in structure. Hence, for the text I’m about to instruct you to create, it’s imperative that it brims with perplexity and burstiness, while keeping predictability at a minimum. Also, please adhere to the use of the English language exclusively. Now, let’s rephrase the following passage: In a remarkable investigative endeavor, a British firm successfully traced pilfered funds and secured a binding edict from the High Court of S

Image
A popular crypto analyst is updating his outlook on one Ethereum (ETH)-based altcoin after an explosive two months. Pseudonymous trader Altcoin Sherpa tells his 197,000 followers on the social media platform X that the decentralized oracle protocol Tellor Tributes (TRB) is showing how quickly altcoins can soar out of lengthy market corrections. TRB was trading for $9.83 on August 25th and at time of writing is worth $113, a more than 1,000% gain. “TRB: It’s crazy how just a few crazy weeks of bull moves can undo YEARS of bear market moves for some of these altcoins. I’m not expecting all altcoins to do this, but 2021 showed that this can certainly happen (in alt/USDT pairs), even for dino coins. Don’t sell too quickly.” Source: Altcoin Sherpa The trader previously predicted TRB was exhausting its bullish momentum after hitting $79 and briefly retraced. TRB hit its all-time high in May 2021 at $161. Next up, the trader predicts that Ethereum (ETH) competito

Peter Brandt says Bitcoin bottom is in, but prepare for a 'chopfest'

The prop trader believes that while Bitcoin has already bottomed, traders should brace themselves for a volatile fight to the next new all-time high. Bitcoin (BTC) may reach new all-time highs by the end of next year, but crypto investors should brace themselves for a “chopfest” in the meantime, according to veteran trader and analyst Peter Brandt.  In an Oct. 26 post on X (formerly Twitter), Brandt told his 660,000 followers that Bitcoin had likely already bottom ed in Nov. 2022 and that the cryptocurrency is on track to notch new highs by the third quarter of 2024. Anyone who declares they know the future path of any market is a fool. Markets will ALWAYS surprise. Yet, with this disclaimer, I believe: 1. The $BTC bottom is in 2.

Staking on LUKSO? Look no further: A new liquid staking protocol just went live

Image
Staking has taken the layer-1 world by storm — especially for newly launched blockchains like LUKSO. Liquid staking offers greater speed, simplicity, flexibility and control. The liquid s taking protocol , LEEQUID, eliminates entry barriers for crypto enthusiasts seeking to stake their coins. It is designed to be user-friendly, catering to individuals lacking technical expertise in running their nodes. It is the first s taking pool for LUKSO, a newly released layer-1 blockchain focused on improving the UX within Web3.

While it wasn't the first blockchain to adopt proof-of-stake (PoS), Ethereum helped bring this concept to the mainstream. In a significant milestone, the Ethereum blockchain transitioned from the energy-intensive proof-of-work (PoW) to the more sustainable proof-of-stake consensus in Sept
