Whilst Bitcoin lacks volatility so far this week, remaining around $21,300, institutional interest is ‘massive’ according to BitStamp. In an interview published on Monday, Bitstamp’s global CEO, Jean-Baptiste Graftieaux, said “Many institutional companies are looking to make their first move into crypto,” whilst referring to their own institutional clients.
The CEO also commented on regulation, claiming, “Most regions and countries are looking into regulating crypto. The key risk here is around ensuring regulations are smart and they foster a level playing field.”
He noted how a crypto service provider wanting to do business in Europe must register with each country separately as a virtual asset service provider (VASP), and that each country has its own requirements.
However, the introduction of the European Comission’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) proposal, which will come into effect over the next 1-2 years, will mean that there will be one country where you can establish your activities as MiCA-compliant, and then carry out these activities across other European countries. This will help provide a holistic framework for the crypto industry in Europe.
Mastercard is working on how it can be part of crypto’s race to global mass adoption, as they have partnered with Binance to launch a crypto prepaid card in Argentina. Mastercard CEO says this will let people spend crypto at more than 90,000,000 stores. When using this card, crypto will be converted to fiat currency in real-time at the point of purchase, and cardholders will earn 8% crypto cashback on all eligible purchases.
MasterCard’s plan to integrate crypto could be an eye-opener for its competition like Visa, who may follow in MasterCard’s’ footsteps, in order to lead the payments industry in this sector.

Binance Launchpool Rolls Out Staking and Trading Support for New Layer-1 Blockchain Project

adminTop global crypto exchange Binance is planning on launching trading support for another new layer-1 altcoin project via its Launchpool platform.
Binance Launchpool, which lets users stake coins to farm new assets, says its 52nd project will be Omni Network (OMNI), a network that aims to integrate Ethereum’s (ETH) rollup ecosystem into a single, unified network.
Explains the project,
“Omni is an Ethereum-native interoperability protocol that establishes low-latency communications between all Ethereum rollups. Omni offers a secure, performant, and globally compatible architecture that presents Ethereum as a single, unified operating system to both users and developers.”
Between April 13th and 17th, Binance users can stake BNB, the crypto exchange platform’s native asset, as well as the stablecoin First Digital USD (FDUSD) into separate pools to farm OMNI tokens.
The exchange then plans to list the asset on April 17th. Binance will attach a seed tag to OMNI, which the exchange applies to lower-liquidity projects that may exhibit higher volatility compared to other listed tokens.
Binance requires users who own assets with seed tags to pass quizzes every 90 days to ensure they’re aware of the risks before trading the tokens.
Last week, Binance Launchpool kicked off support for Saga (SAGA), a layer-1 project that aims to enable developers to launch interoperable, application-specific chains called “Chainlets.”

Kraken Crypto Exchange Plans To Delist Monero in Two European Countries in Two Months
Published

April 11, 2024By
adminOne of the biggest centralized crypto exchange platforms in the world is planning on delisting a popular privacy-focused altcoin in two European nations in the coming months.
In a new article, crypto exchange Kraken says it’s going to be delisting Monero (XMR), a blockchain focused on anonymity that launched in 2014, from Ireland and Belgium starting in June.
According to Kraken, after June 10th, all remaining XMR on the crypto exchange will be automatically converted into Bitcoin (BTC), the top crypto asset by market cap.
“We will be delisting Monero (XMR) from the Kraken platform, for clients in Ireland and Belgium, on June 10, 2024. As of May 10, 2024 trading and deposits will be halted for XMR.
All margin positions will need to be closed by May 10, 2024 or these positions will be auto-closed. We will halt withdrawals of XMR on Kraken on June 10, 2024. At this time, any remaining XMR balances will be auto-converted into BTC.”
In February, XMR itself was delisted from Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange platform by volume, and subsequently crashed 32%.
At the time, Binance went on a delisting spree, expelling digital assets such as decentralized governance network Aragon (ANT), artificial intelligence-focused blockchain Vaiot (VAI) and enterprise blockchain platform Multichain (MULTI), as well as XMR.
Being delisted earlier this year caused XMR to plunge to $108.80. However, the 57th-ranked digital asset has since recovered and is now trading for $134 at time of writing, a 1.3% gain during the last 24 hours.

Binance Launchpool Rolls Out Support for New Layer-1 Crypto Project Focused on Developers

April 6, 2024By
adminTop global crypto exchange Binance is rolling out support for a new layer-1 crypto project via its Launchpool platform.
Binance Launchpool, which lets users stake coins to farm new assets, says its 51st project will be Saga (SAGA), a web3 platform designed for developers.
Saga aims to enable developers to launch interoperable, application-specific chains called “Chainlets.”
Explains the project’s website,
“We are building this by rearchitecting developer and end-user interactions with blockchains. Using shared security, innovations in validator orchestration, and an automated deployment pipeline, Saga makes launching a dedicated blockchain, or Chainlet, as easy as deploying a smart contract.”
Between April 5th and April 9th, Binance users can stake BNB as well as the stablecoin First Digital USD (FDUSD) into separate pools to farm SAGA tokens. The exchange then plans to list the asset on April 9th.
Launchpool will offer 45,000,000 SAGA as token rewards, 4.5% of the asset’s max supply.
Binance will attach a seed tag to SAGA, which the exchange applies to lower-liquidity projects that may exhibit higher volatility compared to other listed tokens. Binance requires users who own assets with seed tags to pass quizzes every 90 days to ensure they’re aware of the risks before trading the tokens.
