Recently, Vet, an XRP Ledger dUNL validator, explored the speculative scenario of individuals minting XRP tokens out of nowhere. In a post on X, Vet asked community members whether it was possible to generate new XRP tokens out of thin air. Creating XRP out of Thin Air Notably, this hypothetical scenario assumes the emergence of a bug in the XRPL system that developers could leverage to mint XRP tokens they are not authorized to possess. Given that the XRPL validator was not frankly soliciting public input on the possibility, he provided the answer promptly. Vet stated that if someone were…

Bitcoin’s mining-reward halving alone did not catalyze previous bulls runs, macro factors probably played a role, Goldman said. Continued gains in BTC may be contingent on strong inflows into the spot ETFs. Bitcoin’s fourth mining-reward halving is just two days away. The quadrennial event will reduce BTC’s per block emission to 3.125 BTC from 6.25 BTC, halving the pace of new supply. Previous halvings preceded massive multimonth rallies in BTC, and the crypto community is confident that history will repeat itself. Investment banking giant Goldman Sachs, however, cautioned its clients from reading too much into the past halving cycles. “Historically,…

Shiba Inu team member Lucie recently delved into the discussion of burns, citing Shiba Inu’s founder Ryoshi’s burning of keys to the Shiba Inu supply. Lucie was responding to a comment on X by a community member who asked about Shiba Inu’s lead, Shytoshi Kusama, and when burns were coming. In response to this, Lucie explained the reasoning behind Shiba Inu founder Ryoshi’s decision to burn the keys to the Shiba Inu supply. Lucie explained that Ryoshi’s burning of keys to the Shiba Inu supply “means that for anything to be burned, it must first be purchased.” This implies that…

A cat-based shooter with paw-sitive reviews from players? Sorry, there’s more cat puns to come. Nyan Heroes is a Solana-based game developed by the aptly named 9 Lives Interactive. The game experienced some early success following the initial wave of its play-to-airdrop campaign, which saw fur-tunate players earn points towards NYAN tokens. Currently available to play on the Epic Games Store in pre-alpha, the game has garnered an impressive fanbase. Is the game as meow-gical as it’s made out to be? And, what paw-sibilities are there with the token? Okay, enough kitten around, no more puns. Here’s the scoop on…

According to Raoul Pal, the CEO of Real Vision, it is standard for Bitcoin’s price to stall for some time before embarking on significant rallies. In a recent interview on the Altcoin Daily YouTube channel, Pal noted that Bitcoin’s exponential rallies occur when the altcoin season comes. The well-known crypto personality highlighted there are early signs of the altcoin season in the current market dynamics. Pal noted that memecoins dominated the crypto market in a protracted trend that could drag longer. Pal spotted an ongoing trend that is repetitive of what happened in 2020 when most people wrote off Ethereum.…

With an ever-growing number of blockchain projects, achieving interoperability and scalability between blockchains is increasingly important. Polkadot’s solution to this challenge is ‘parachains,’ a technical approach to allowing distinct blockchains to scale and work together effectively and safely, leveraging the Polkadot network’s guarantees of security, isolation, and communication. What are parachains? Unlike most other blockchains such as Ethereum, Polkadot isn’t built to have much inherent functionality. Instead, Polkadot acts as a ‘Relay Chain’ on top of which multiple parallel layer-1 blockchains, known as parachains, can be hosted side-by-side. These different blockchains can be built for specific use cases, and then…

In 2023, two countries in Eastern Europe and the CIS showed a high index of cryptocurrency adoption. Thus, Ukraine took fifth place in the ratings of crypto-friendly countries, and Russia took 13th place. Other countries, such as Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, are also following the path of mass adoption, which makes this region very attractive for crypto business. This point of view is also supported by the executive director of the Bitget exchange, Gracy Chen. In an exclusive interview, we discussed the main trends in the development of the crypto market in 2024, and also learned her stance about the…

Bitcoin halving is the hottest topic on the cryptocurrency market right now. But former Ark Invest analyst Chris Burniske suggests there is more to the story. His analysis using the past Bitcoin cycle provides a reminder that Bitcoin’s halving and movement in cycles is not as straightforward as it may seem at first glance. The chart showing Bitcoin’s cycles post-halving reveals a pattern of surges and plunges over several years. Post-halving periods often start with a surge, followed by a cool-off phase. We are currently in such a phase, where growth has slowed down, tempting “lettuce hands” (those quick to…
