Blockchain-powered sports game developer Pooky has launched the full play-and-earn version of its football results prediction game following a four-month beta testing program. Pooky aims to combine immersive gameplay with sustainable token rewards, providing a blockchain-based alternative to the traditional betting model. Pooky is built on the Polygon blockchain The game allows holders of Pookyball non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to compete to predict the outcome of football matches, the number of goals and the correct score, earning rewards based on their rank and skill level. Each Pookyball NFT has different attributes. There are four rarities that boost the number of points that players can receive for making correct predictions. The launch coincides with a full football matchday schedule from March 23-28, including several Euro qualifiers. During this period, Pooky’s minimum reward will double from 200 to 500 MATIC per matchday, and players will be eligible to receive rewards in the form of NFTs and Pooky’s in-game currency POK. The first drop of 1,000 Pookyball NFTs required to access the game sold out before the launch. Pooky is now offering an additional mint of 100 regular NFTs to allow players to join the high rewards leagues or optimize their gameplay strategy. There are two play modes: Basic League and Play-and-Earn Leagues. In the Basic League, each new player receives two Rooky Ball when they sign up to start playing the game for free. Rooky Ball earn limited rewards and cannot be traded. In the Play-and-Earn Leagues, players buy Pookyball NFTs, which can earn more points and enter higher reward Leaderboards. During the beta test, 7,000 recurring Pooky users made 700,000 football predictions and competed against each another every week. Popular football influencers such as Fiago, RazzHD, and Sims2 generated interest with content around the project.

The Wall Street brokerage said it was becoming increasingly worried about the fairness of crypto enforcement actions in the U.S.

Cryptocurrency platform StormGain has launched a decentralized exchange (DEX) to support the decentralized trading of digital assets with no custodial risk. The DEX has exited beta testing following several weeks of trials and is available on web and smartphone apps. The role of DEXs in cryptocurrency trading has gained attention following the collapse of several centralized crypto platforms and prominent technology-focused banks. Decentralized platforms allow users to retain control of their keys and access to their coins. StormGain’s DEX provides a non-custodial alternative to complement its centralized exchange (CEX) as part of its growing product range, allowing crypto traders to choose their preferred system. To trade on the DEX, a user connects their own non-custodial blockchain wallet and places trades directly, with all orders settled on the blockchain. The DEX has only read-only permissions for the wallet. There is no need for the user to register an account or make a deposit. Smart contracts enable orders to be executed promptly and efficiently. Users can connect any wallet that supports the WalletConnect protocol, such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet and Argent, with more options to be added soon. The DEX supports the Ethereum blockchain and will add support for the Binance Smart Chain and Tron. StormGain DEX offers deep liquidity, a range of trading pairs and up to 500x leverage. Traders can access over 55 crypto instruments, including options and tokenized commodities. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

The crypto trading platform has successfully raised $250 million in funding at a total valuation of $3.5 billion. SPAC Cancelled; Funding Commenced The company had previously called off its plans to go public in 2022. At that time, its company valuation stood at a whopping $10.4 billion. The latest round of fundraising revealed that the valuation had dropped significantly to rest at $3.5 billion. eToro first announced its plans to go public back in March 2021. Back then, its valuation was calculated to be around $10.4 billion. However, in January 2022, the valuation got cut down by 15% to $8.8 billion. By the time July 2022 rolled out, the company had decided to terminate the SPAC deal due to the regulatory changes, resulting in further dropping of the company’s valuation. eToro’s AIA eToro has raised $250 million in an Advanced Investment Agreement (AIA), which is not your typical equity round. In an AIA, the investors pay discounted rates in advance to have shares allocated later. In this instance, the companies that have invested include ION Group, Social Leverage, SoftBank, and Spark Capital. These companies invested in the AIA back in 2021 as a backup in case the proposed SPAC did not pan out. The agreement between eToro and the investors was that if the SPAC transaction did not go through in two years and the company had not raised any additional capital, the AIA investment would be converted. Since then, the company terminated its SPAC agreement in July 2022. Even though there were reports of a private funding round for between $800 million and $1 billion, the company denied such claims. Therefore as per the agreement, the AIA investment has been converted. The State Of eToro The company has had a very uneven growth in revenue over the last three years, despite announcing its metaverse ambitions in 2022. It even had to delist certain crypto from its platform over regulatory issues in 2021. However, the management is still projecting a very positive view of its situation. Recently, eToro CFO Meron Shani released a statement in which he wrote, “At eToro, we need no reminder that markets are cyclical. The diversified nature of our multi-asset product offering ensured that commissions from equities and commodities partially offset the decrease in commissions from cryptoassets in 2022. It’s also worth noting that we were not impacted by the liquidity concerns which plagued many in the crypto industry.” Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

With banks on the edge of meltdown and Bitcoin about to embark on its bull market, has Gensler been told to bring Coinbase down, and with it a large proportion of retail investors who are buying crypto? A broken system The banking system is broken, and perhaps it has got to the point of no return, even given the massive sums of currency that central banks have used to try and prop the system up. With the Federal Reserve saying that it will make all depositors whole in the U.S. should any more banks go down, the fractures have been papered over for now. The public is now aware What is obvious to the U.S. government though is that the public has been shocked at the weakness of the banking system, and has been made painfully aware of the apparent ease with which large banks can fall in only a matter of days. It must also be aware that crypto has lost its largest 3 fiat on/off ramps in the form of Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature Bank, in just a few days, yet the crypto bull market appears to be starting regardless. As banks fail, interest in crypto grows For government and central banks the situation has become untenable. It knows that despite all efforts to keep banks afloat, more could potentially fail over the coming months as the Federal Reserve continues to keep interest rates high. Institutions have been kept away from investing in Bitcoin in the main, given the extremely tight regulatory environment, but the general public is definitely still interested in crypto, and should crypto assets keep rising, the interest might become a flood. Damping down ardour for crypto Therefore, throwing a huge cloud of negativity and uncertainty over Coinbase could bring about a cooling of the public’s crypto investing ardour. The serving of a Wells Notice on Coinbase by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the first step in a potential enforcement action. It doesn’t always result in an action but just serving it had the effect of toppling the Coinbase share price around 17% since yesterday’s close. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said of the notice by the SEC that it was like a game of “pickleball” (the fastest growing new sport in the U.S.) whereby referees were from both football and soccer, and “one of them suddenly decides to change a call they made back in April 2021” (no doubt referring to the SEC’s approval of Coinbase going public). Coinbase published a blog on Wednesday, in which it laid out its complaints against the SEC. In it, Coinbase quoted Federal Bankruptcy Judge Michael Wiles on the ongoing Voyager case. He said: “Regulators themselves cannot seem to agree as to whether cryptocurrencies are commodities that may be subject to regulation by the CFTC, or whether they are securities […] subject to securities laws, or neither, or even on what criteria should be applied in making the decision. This uncertainty has persisted despite the fact that cryptocurrency exchanges have been around for a number of years.” The stakes are incredibly high Coinbase is potentially a very large pawn in an incredibly important chess game, with the future of finance as the prize. On the one side is the government, petrified over losing full control of ‘money’, along with the legacy banks, terrified of falling into obsolescence. On the other side is a dynamic and innovative industry which is gaining ground despite government and bank control of the mainstream media. Crypto has much to offer the financial system, and the financial system can certainly repurpose itself and gain from what crypto has to offer. Enforcing control has never worked throughout history, and has only ever served to slow the demise of the enforcer. In a changing world where many more countries are scrambling to join the BRICS nations and trade in currencies that are backed by tangible commodities, the U.S. must reinvent itself in order to survive. Crypto could be that path. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only. It is not offered or intended to be used as legal, tax, investment, financial, or other advice.

As crypto traders became wary of making investment decisions amid the Terra collapse in 2022, scammers shifted to free giveaways and romance scams.

Some remain upbeat about the medium-term outlook for bitcoin and the broader market.

Binance abolished almost all zero fee trading pairs from its platform after nine months, only keeping the promotion for the TUSD-bitcoin pair.

Cointelegraph explored the United Arab Emirates to see how NFTs are used in the region.

Conflicting data creates the question of how the Fed will react to both rising inflation and failing banks - and whether bitcoin will be a lifeboat.

Technical charts are beginning to suggest that BTC is at the end of its bear market cycle, and traders believe this could yield positive results for most altcoins.

XRP, Ripple XRPLedger’s native token, saw a substantial overnight run attempting to hit its bullish target of $0.50 but ultimately fell short, reaching a high of $0.49. XRP broke away from the general crypto market, recording massive gains and reaching its highest levels since November 2022. XRP, the native token of cross-border payment settlement firm Ripple’s XRPLedger, witnessed an incredible surge on Tuesday, breaking into a solo rally which yielded overnight gains of over 20%. XRP Rides the Wave of Fed Hikes and Banking Failures In response to the voluntary liquidation of Silvergate Bank and Silicon Valley Bank’s (SVB) collapse, crypto investors have become bullish on Bitcoin and altcoins. As one of the most prominent altcoins by market cap, XRP’s price surged on the back of the recent U.S. banking crisis and the anticipation of an interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The Fed’s consequent decision to inject liquidity into the economy and protect banks from collapse has been the catalyst to drive investors toward decentralization and cryptocurrencies. XRP is currently trading at $0.44, representing gains of over 20% in the past 24 hours and 16% on the weekly chart. Bullish Sentiment Surrounding SEC Case XRP has also responded to recent developments in its case involving the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Analysts claim that investors have become more confident in the case’s outcome after a Letter Notice of Supplemental Authority was filed by the defendants in the case. Attorney James Filian revealed in a tweet on March 20 that the defendants in the case sought to support their fair notice defense by referencing a separate legal case where Judge Michael Wiles of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York rejected the SEC’s argument, ruling that it was too vague. The SEC objected to Binance.US’s bid to acquire Voyager Digital’s assets which included an asset known as VGX. The agency claimed that Voyager was an unregistered securities exchange and VGX has “aspects of a security”, to which it gave no further explanation. Judge Wiles stated in his ruling: I reject the contention that the Court, and the Debtors, somehow were supposed to figure out for themselves just what ‘aspects’ of the VGX token might be considered to be aspects of a ‘security,’ or just what particular activities of Binance.US allegedly could raise registration issues, and then somehow to offer evidence and legal argument on those points. Ripple has continually asserted that the lack of clear guidance from the SEC regarding securities laws for digital assets has caused great confusion and uncertainty in the market and made it increasingly difficult for participants to understand how to comply with regulations. A lot hinges on the outcome of the lawsuit, which is expected to have a far-reaching impact on the entire crypto asset industry, which has been stuck in confusion amid the lack of regulatory clarity. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has also managed to settle investor’s concerns after it was revealed that Ripple Labs had “some exposure” to SVB. Garlinghouse assured investors that the company “remains in a strong financial position despite its exposure to the failed bank.” Obviously a lot is still unknown about what happens with SVB, and as is the case with many others, we hope to have more details soon – but rest assured, Ripple remains in a strong financial position. — Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) March 12, 2023 Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Signature Bank is the best place for crypto banking, even if it goes bankrupt, Woorton co-founder Zahreddine Touag believes.

A recent trademark filing reveals that the Japanese tech company Fujitsu is reportedly looking into offering crypto trading services. Licensing Attorney Unveils Fujitsu’s Crypto Interest The Japan-based tech company Fujitsu is looking into offering crypto trading services. The company has recently filed an application for trademarks covering a broad range of services related to banking, finance, and cryptocurrency. The information was shared by trademark attorney Michael Kondoudis, who specializes in NFT and metaverse licensing. Kondoudis revealed that the tech giant filed the application on March 16, and some of the financial services that it is seeking to license include money exchange, securities trading, insurance brokerage, tax planning, and cryptocurrency trading. On March 21, Kondoudis tweeted, “Is Fujitsu moving into banking, finance & crypto? The international tech co has filed a trademark application for exchanging money, securities trading, insurance brokerage, tax planning, [and] cryptocurrency trading.” Financial Insitutes And Their Crypto Adventures As a prominent technology company, it would make sense for Fujitsu to take the next step into cryptocurrency and other web3 technologies. The company had already announced its announced the creation of an Open Metaverse Infrastructure. Many other tech firms have decided to follow this course of action. However, Fujitsu’s position as the largest IT services provider in Japan just highlights further how quickly and expansively crypto is permeating into the businessworld. Digital finance and cryptocurrencies have become an intrinsic part of the entire umbrella of technological innovation. If crypto services are actually offered on this platform, it could impact the established players in the industry and shake up the landscape of the financial services industry. Crypto Vs. Quantum Computing There is another interesting angle to this story. Turns out that the company had already been dabbling in quantum computing. As per reports, Fujitsu had been working alongside Riken, which is the country’s biggest research institute, to develop Japan’s first quantum computer. This is at odds with the company’s crypto ambitions as there are implications that quantum computers could affect cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in a negative way. For example, quantum computing could enable hacking of asymmetric encrypptoon and break into Bitcoin wallets. In fact, this negative application of quantum computing has been researched upon by a team of scientists at Sussex University, who concluded that the technology could be used to decode the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm and ultimately affect the impenetrability of the Bitcoin network in the next decade. Therefore the question remains - why would Fujitsu invest in two such technologies, where one has such negative implications for the other?

Source: Depositphotos Crypto protocol Fluidity Money said today it’s partnering with the enterprise crypto payments app Request Finance to give its users a shot at landing some very significant rewards whenever they send a payment. Fluidity Money bills itself as a “spend-to-earn” DeFi protocol that works very differently to the traditional crypto cashback schemes offered in the digital payments industry. Most cashback programs are offered in partnership with credit card providers and financed through high interchange fees that are passed onto consumers, as well as extortionate overdraft fees ranging from 15% to 27%. Fluidity Money does things quite differently. It works by minting its own stablecoins, known as “Fluid Assets”, which are essentially wrapped versions of tokens like USDC and USDT. Users can mint new Fluid Assets within the Fluidity Webapp on a one-to-one basis (so they get 1 fUSDC for 1 USDC, for example) to generate potentially massive rewards each time they use those tokens to pay for something. The way it works is very clever. The USDC or USDT that’s used to mint Fluid stablecoins is immediately deposited into a third-party DeFi protocol such as Compound, with 80% of the yield generated there being used to fund Fluidity’s cashback rewards. Those rewards are then paid out randomly, with each transaction standing a 40% to 70% chance of earning yield that could be significantly higher than the amount sent. Each transaction reward is split 80%-20% between the sender and the receiver. By partnering with Request Finance, Fluidity is bringing its cashback rewards to hundreds of businesses and merchants that use the popular crypto payments app. Request Finance serves thousands of businesses with its invoice, payroll, expense and payment request features. Each time someone uses the app to send a payment using a Fluid stablecoin instead of a regular cryptocurrency, both them and their client stand a chance to earn a reward ranging from a few cents to possibly hundreds of dollars. What’s more, Fluidity Money said it plans to expand its rewards offering to other loyalty programs and possibly enable users to earn non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as rewards, instead of crypto. Those NFTs could potentially represent anything from tickets to physical events, merchant credits like air miles, digital collectibles and more. Fluidity Money Chief Executive Shahmeer Chaudhry said Request Finance has grown to become one of the most widely used crypto payment apps, helping thousands of enterprises and decentralized autonomous organizations use stablecoins more easily. “We wanted to work with them to introduce this cashback program as a fun way of rewarding people for using stablecoins for payments,” Chaudhry said. Vijay Garg, founder of MapleBlock Capital, one of the chief backers of Fluidity Money, points out that cashback and loyalty reward programs have shown themselves to be hugely effective at driving adoption of digital payments in Web2. “Google Pay’s 2019 #StampwaliDiwali campaign in India, and the 2022 Huat Pals campaign in Singapore are great examples of this,” Garg said. “We believe that a similar strategy can help to drive the adoption of crypto payments.” Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is increasingly shaping the future of financial transactions, and it's crucial for platforms to maintain their integrity and ethical standing. DeFiLlama, a leading on-chain analytics platform, found itself in a difficult position when news broke of an internal conflict and a potential fork due to a rogue team member. Fortunately, the team has since resolved the conflict and assured users that the platform will continue to operate as usual. The dispute, which centered around a hostile takeover of the on-chain analytics platform, was brought to light by a core contributor using the pseudonym 0xngmi on Twitter. The rogue team member, identified as 0xLLam4, was reportedly attempting to launch a native LLAMA token without the consensus of the DeFiLlama team. 1/3 The DeFiLlama team would like to apologize for the events that unfolded yesterday, as a result of poor communication and a misunderstanding within the team. — DefiLlama.com (@DefiLlama) March 20, 2023 Following the revelation, DeFiLlama took to Twitter to apologize for the chaos, attributing the events to poor communication. The platform assured users and clients that there is no LLAMA token in the pipeline, quelling fears of a potential disruption to the platform's operations. Tendeeno, a contributor to Llama Corp, revealed that 0xLLam4 was, in fact, the founder of the platform. The founder's eagerness to launch the token and generate revenue was the primary cause of the conflict. However, with the situation now resolved, DeFiLlama has managed to safeguard its reputation and maintain the trust of its users and clients. As the DeFi ecosystem continues to evolve, it is essential for platforms like DeFiLlama to uphold the principles of ethical journalism, balanced reporting, and professional news standards. By resolving the internal conflict and demonstrating transparency, DeFiLlama has set a strong example for others in the industry to follow. DeFiLlama is a major multichain decentralized finance (DeFi) analytics platform that has gained recognition for delivering critical data related to the total value locked (TVL) and trading volume on DeFi platforms. As DeFi continues to revolutionize the financial landscape, analytics platforms like DeFiLlama play a crucial role in providing comprehensive insights into the rapidly evolving sector. As a refresher, decentralized finance (DeFi) refers to the decentralized ecosystem built on blockchain technology, which eliminates intermediaries such as banks and other traditional financial institutions. By leveraging smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps), as such, DeFi allows users to access a wide range of financial services, including lending, borrowing, trading, and investing, in a secure, transparent, and permissionless manner. In this context, DeFi analytics platforms serve as vital tools for users, developers, and investors to make informed decisions based on data-driven insights. DeFiLlama, as a multichain platform, collates information from various blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and more. This comprehensive approach enables users to access a broader perspective on the DeFi market and track relevant metrics across multiple chains. Some of the key data points provided by DeFiLlama include the total value locked in various DeFi protocols, trading volumes, yield farming opportunities, and liquidity pools. These insights help users identify trends, assess the performance of specific DeFi platforms, and make informed decisions about their investments. As the platform moves forward, the team's commitment to addressing internal issues and operating in a more transparent manner will be crucial in maintaining trust within the DeFi community.
