Ripple backs out, won't acquire Fortress Trust

Image
On Sep. 28, in a post on X, Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO, revealed that Ripple has chosen not to acquire Fortress Trust. Instead, they will continue to be an investor in the blockchain-based payment network. A few weeks ago, we signed a letter of intent to acquire Fortress Trust – we’ve since made the decision not to move forward with an outright acquisition, though Ripple will remain an investor in @Fortress_io. — Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) September 28, 2023 The blockchain firm behind On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), a solution using XRP, decided not to proceed with the acquisition following a hack that saw Fortress Trust lose between $12 to $15 million in Bitcoin (BTC), USDT, and USDC, on Sep. 12. Today, we are announcing intent to acquire Fortress Trust, part of the @Fortress_io suite of companies. Fortress Trust’s financial and regulatory infrastructure complements and expands Ripple’s comprehensive portfolio of blockchain solutions for finance. https://t.co/LIl3cPEur2 — Ri...

Ex-Multichain developers unveil ValueRouter, an asset swapping platform

Image
Former developers of Multichain, recently mired in controversy, have announced a new project named ValueRouter, aiming to simplify multi-chain asset swaps. A few months ago, the crypto world was rocked by the unauthorized withdrawals of over $130 million from Multichain, a bridging network previously known as Anyswap. The intrigue deepened with the revelation that its CEO, Zhaojun, and his sister, were allegedly at the center of the event, causing the suspension of the platform’s operations in July. The fallout affected many, particularly the Fantom ecosystem, leading to the shutdown of the Fantom-based SpiritSwap DEX. Despite the stormy backdrop, some developers from Multichain have made a re-entry with a new project called ValueRouter. Similar in function to Multichain, ValueRouter enables users to “swap any asset for your desired asset across multiple chains in just one transaction.” It seeks to simplify multi-chain asset swaps, incorporating Circle CCTP and DEXes to facili...

Unreported Cardano News: ADA Whale Shares “Bullish” Trading Project

Image
A significant investor in this ADA ecosystem believes some Cardano news has gone unnoticed; this development could increase optimism in the network. Via social media platform X, the pseudonym ADA investor made the case for the “bullish development” happening on this blockchain. Positive Cardano News Go Under The Radar? The pseudonym investor shared some of this unnoticed Cardano news, including launching several projects that could onboard more users on the network. These projects include OptionFlow, a trading platform offering access to decentralized derivatives, such as bonds, options, and others. The platform recently launched its testnet and hinted at a “Phase 2” launch in the coming months. The ADA whale claims that Cardano will “shine” in offering derivative products. The Open Interest (OI) for Bitcoin futures contracts alone on Deribit stands at $300 million, which could provide an opportunity for a decentralized platform to capture some market share. Open Interest for BT...

Bitcoin Long-Term Metrics Point to a Different Scenario Than 2019 Fakeout: Top Analyst

Image
Bitcoin traders and enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating the next significant move in the cryptocurrency market, with memories of the 2019 fakeout rally still fresh in their minds. However, one prominent BTC trader, known as Dave the Wave on the social media platform X, is offering a reassuring perspective. According to Dave , the conditions that led to the 2019 fakeout rally are unlikely to repeat themselves in the current market cycle. The 2019 fakeout rally left many Bitcoin investors disappointed. It was characterized by a sudden breakout that sent BTC prices soaring, only to see them crash back down just as rapidly. This roller-coaster ride was attributed to Bitcoin spending only a short time in the “buy zone” before experiencing the wild price swings. Those that have followed me for some time may remember my calling of the 2019 #btc spike as a ‘mini bubble’. This was based on the LGC model, where price moved too quickly/ parabolically out of the buy zone. This time...

GMX Paid A Hefty Prize Because Of This Flaw

Image
GMX, a decentralized exchange, awarded Collider Research a $1 million bug bounty in 2022. This payout was in recognition of their discovery of a critical bug in GMX’s smart contracts that directly affected how the protocol tracks outstanding debt. The Bug Affecting GMX And GLP GMX has not provided more information on how the bug was patched and when. However, the DEX operator said the bug negatively impacted GMX v1 liquidity providers (LPs) as the code led to inaccuracies in quotes related to “the fair value of tokens.” Specifically, the bug affected the Global Liquidity Pool (GLP), causing it to deviate from its fair value. Since GMX supports up to 50X leverage, a system tracks debt borrowed by traders and how it is repaid. It is smart contract-driven, and the trader enters into debt for every leveraged position. If prices move against them, they are liquidated, and the margin securing the leveraged position is transferred to the protocol. Any disruption to this mechanism can se...
