CZ Criticizes Latest FUD Following Spread Of Unverified Gossip On Crypto TwitterThe CEO of #Binance which is the biggest cryptocurrency exchange globally, is currently dealing with a situation involving the propagation of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) on social media. This #fud is the result of unfounded rumors that he has been placed on Interpol's "red notice" list. For those who are not aware, a red notice is a request sent to law enforcement agencies worldwide, urging them to locate and arrest an individual on a provisional basis pending extradition, surrender, or any similar legal action. The rumors have been further fueled by an image circulating on Twitter that purportedly shows a photo of #ChangpengZhao (CZ) on Interpol's red notice webpage. This photo has caused alarm and speculation among the public, with many believing that #CZ is facing severe legal issues. However, CZ has now confirmed that the image is fake and has been created using photo manipulation software. As such, there is no evidence to suggest that he has been placed on Interpol's red notice list, and the rumors should be treated as baseless until further clarification is provided. Crypto influencer Cobie tweeted a SHA256 hash with an encrypted message that stated, "Interpol Red Notice for CZ," which sparked rumors that the agency was looking for CZ. According to Cobie, the message was only a rumor and an unlikely prediction, and nobody should have been able to see it. “Have posted SHA256 hash of rumours >20 times in the last year without the secret being revealed – the point of a hash commitment scheme is nobody is supposed to be able to read them until after the secret is revealed… Well, it’s a ‘prediction’ and a rumor. It’s obviously impossible for it to be inside info without their being literal leaks at Interpol which seems unlikely.” CZ advises anyone who are involved in the #cryptocurrency sector to disregard rumors and speculation that are not confirmed.

Bank of China's BOCI issues first tokenized security in Hong Kong on EthereumBank of China investment bank BOCI issued fully digital structured notes worth 200 million of offshore renminbi ($28 million) on the Ethereum blockchain, making it the first Chinese financial institution to issue a tokenized security in Hong Kong. UBS, the originator and partner of BOCI in this transaction, emphasized the significance of this milestone, stating, "This transaction marks a historic milestone in the Asia Pacific region, as it represents the first product of its kind constituted under both Hong Kong and Swiss law and tokenized on the main Ethereum blockchain. It successfully introduces regulated securities onto a public blockchain, paving the way for new possibilities and opportunities." This remarkable accomplishment follows the successful issuance of a $50 million tokenized fixed rate note by UBS in December on a permissioned blockchain. The dedication of both BOCI and UBS to embrace digital innovation in the financial sector is truly commendable. By leveraging the #Ethereum #blockchains , BOCI and UBS aim to usher in a new era of transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in the issuance and trading of securities. This move towards tokenization holds immense potential for streamlining processes, reducing costs, and enhancing liquidity within the financial ecosystem. The decision to tokenize securities highlights the growing acceptance and recognition of the transformative power of blockchain technology within the traditional financial sector. It serves as a testament to the adaptability of established financial institutions as they embrace cutting-edge technologies, propelling the industry towards a more digitized and decentralized future. The Hong Kong Transformation: We are driving the simplification of digital asset markets and products, for customers in Asia Pacific through the development of blockchain-based digital structured products, designed specifically for customers in Asia Pacific," Ying Wang, Deputy CEO at BOCI, said in the statement. "We are encouraged by the evolution of Hong Kong's digital economy and are committed to promoting the digital transformation and innovative development of Hong Kong's financial industry.” The move comes amid a flurry of activity in Hong Kong after it released new guidelines for the crypto industry on June 1.

Binance: Lightning Network on exchanges#LightningNetwork is very useful to users of crypto exchanges for two reasons.  The first is that it greatly reduces the cost of #Bitcoin  transactions. Those who move large amounts of money to and from exchanges have no problem paying even $30 fees on individual deposits or withdrawals, but for everyone else even the current $2 can be a deterrent.  LN reduces these castes to an infinitesimal, and therefore irrelevant, fraction, breaking down all possible barriers due to the high cost of Bitcoin transactions.  The second and perhaps even more important reason is that it makes transactions in BTC almost instantaneous.  Currently Bitcoin withdrawals and deposits to and from Binance can take up to hours before they are completed.  In contrast, with LN they could be executed almost immediately.  All of this makes holding Bitcoin on non-custodial wallets much cheaper and more efficient because it allows them to be moved quickly and cheaply to the exchange at any time.  The slowness of Binance #Binance is usually very quick to implement innovations. However, this time, as CEO #ChangpengZhao himself admitted, they have been particularly slow.  It is better if the exchange takes its time to do things right.  Also perhaps until now there was not a great demand from users to be able to use LN.  Not least because to be able to use LN on Binance it is necessary to have a wallet that supports LN, and not everyone has that yet.  However, lately there have been a lot of requests to be able to withdraw one’s funds from centralized exchanges in order to store them on non-custodial wallets, but in order to be able to do this smoothly, fast and cheap transactions are required.  Thus this need also brings with it an implicit demand to be able to use Lightning Network to deposit or withdraw BTC on exchanges.  The Lightning Network Truth be told, the highest peak of existing LN channels was in February last year, when there were more than 87,000. Now they are down to 75,000, and they have been dropping since January.  Instead, nodes are increasing slightly, even though the peak was still in January 2022.  Instead, what is steadily increasing is the capacity of the LN network, which has risen above 5,400 BTC and close to all-time highs.

Very important statements from Binance CEO 'CZ'Binance CEO #ChangpengZhao (CZ) has addressed claims that Binance significantly sold down #bitcoin (BTC) in reaction to growing rumours and accusations making the rounds in the cryptocurrency community. A price decline of 7% for Bitcoin has been attributed to these assertions. CZ responded on Twitter by retweeting a thread from user ZkHopium, who presented a thorough analysis refuting the accusations and identifying the situation's core causes. The ZkHopium thread clarifies the circumstances around the Venus Protocol liquidation of Binance Coin (BNB). It indicates that the exploit took place on the #Binance Smart Chain (BSC) on October 6th, 2022, producing 2 million BNB. Of this sum, 900,000 #BNB were put on Venus Protocol to borrow USDT and USDC valued about $150 million. In retaliation, the BNB network destroyed more than 2 million BNB, which at the time was worth around $550 million, thereby eliminating these tokens from circulation. Venus Protocol approved a governance proposal naming BNB Chain as the sole liquidator for the loan in order to speed up the liquidation procedure. The liquidator's wallet was then replenished by BNB Chain with 30 million BUSD in December 2022, 30 million USDT in June 2023, and 30 million USDT on August 21, 2023. A collateral component or liquidation threshold is a part of the Venus Protocol's liquidation process. Liquidators can progressively liquidate up to 50% of the collateral when triggered, earning an extra 10% of the collateral's value in fees. ZkHopium's study points up a number of important elements that distinguish this example from others. One liquidator in particular is not motivated to engage in market dumping, to start with. Second, no bots are used to front-run the liquidations; instead, they are carried out manually. Moreover, considering the amount of the loan, the liquidation tranches are anticipated to be substantially lower than the 50% mark. Regarding the claims, #CZ acknowledged ZkHopium's thorough investigation and stressed the "insignificance" of the effect a $30 million liquidation would have on the price of Bitcoin. CZ said that the majority of incentives are given in BNB and that Binance does not issue BTC. Although $30 million represents less than 0.001% of Bitcoin's daily trading volume, he emphasised that the purported concern of a substantial influence on the price of BTC is incorrect. The chart above shows that BNB is now trading at $217 at the time of writing. For the previous 24 hours, it has just slightly decreased by 0.2%. Bitcoin Hovers Almost $26,000 Despite Slight Decline By market capitalization, Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency, is presently valued at $26,000 and has declined by 2.4% since briefly reaching the $26,700 level. Keith Alan, a co-founder of the research and analysis company Material Indicators, has made the following observations on the market scenario despite the present low levels of volatility: The economic data that was provided this morning had little effect on volatility, but it will help shape the story that Jerome Powell will tell on Friday when he speaks at Jackson Hole. The Jackson Hole Symposium is approaching, and interest in Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's remarks is growing. As a result, the Bitcoin market is starting to exhibit symptoms of heightened activity. Keith Alan contends that while the economic data won't have an immediate impact on volatility, it will influence Powell's speech's narrative. As the Bitcoin market gets closer to the weekend, this expectation will probably cause it to become more volatile. As Powell's speech progresses, traders and investors are preparing for any market swings in the anticipation that his remarks may have a substantial influence on the cryptocurrency market.

Binance CEO CZ Believes DeFi Will Outshine CeFiChangpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance and one of the prominent figures in the crypto world, expresses a strong belief in the significance and potential of decentralized finance (DeFi) over centralized finance (CeFi). Zhao's unwavering belief in this transformation, set to unfurl within the next six years, stems from a compelling tapestry of evidence. Among the threads woven into his conviction are the burgeoning curiosity of institutional investors towards cryptocurrencies, poised to bloom into a fervor, and the looming possibility of an inundation of institutional capital into the cryptoverse. CZ's optimism regarding the future superiority of DeFi has remained unwavering since he first voiced this view two months ago. He sees DeFi as a force reshaping how we perceive financial systems and interact with them. During a live event on September 1st, CZ highlighted that the industry continues to centralize, and he expects further developments. He also hinted at the possibility of DeFi surpassing CeFi in trading volume in the near future. His claim is supported by recent achievements in the DeFi industry. In the first two quarters of 2023, the decentralized exchange Uniswap outperformed the centralized giant Coinbase in terms of spot trading volume. According to DeFiLlama, decentralized exchanges reported approximately $12 billion in trading volume, representing around 18% of spot crypto trading. The average trading volume on three major decentralized exchanges surged by 444% within 48 hours after regulatory measures were taken by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Coinbase and Binance on June 9th. At the time of writing, the 24-hour trading volume stands at $722.7 million. Despite regulatory challenges and investigations in various countries, CZ reiterated Binance's commitment to compliance. Binance is prepared to comply with regulations in countries like Australia, the United States, Canada, and Europe. In addition to his predictions about DeFi's dominance, CZ emphasized the importance of global cryptocurrency adoption, acknowledging that this adoption might occur at varying speeds in different countries. His overall message reflects an optimistic outlook on the future of DeFi and the cryptocurrency industry. #DeFiChallenge #DeFiCeFi #DeFiVsCeFi #Binance #ChangpengZhao

Could Changpeng Zhao Be Satoshi Nakamoto?The world of cryptocurrency began with the white paper of Bitcoin written by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. However, despite the emergence of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, the identity of Nakamoto remains shrouded in mystery. In recent years, some members of the crypto community have suggested that Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, could actually be Satoshi Nakamoto. Let's examine this claim from historical, technical, and personal perspectives. Historical Perspective: The documents and communications related to the emergence of Satoshi Nakamoto and the creation of Bitcoin suggest that Nakamoto could be a pseudonym for a group or individuals rather than a single person's real name. Nakamoto's contributions to the creation of Bitcoin and blockchain technology are evident, but there is no definitive information about who they are. Technical Perspective: The Bitcoin code and the content of blockchain technology created by Satoshi Nakamoto are highly complex. While Changpeng Zhao would require technical knowledge to manage a major cryptocurrency exchange like Binance, this doesn't equate to the technical depth of Nakamoto's creation. Certain parts of the code Nakamoto wrote imply expertise as a skilled cryptographic programmer, whereas CZ's expertise leans more towards business and management. Personal Perspective: Considering Changpeng Zhao's entrepreneurial background and successes in the cryptocurrency field, CZ has indeed made significant contributions to the crypto world. However, Nakamoto did not have a pre-established entrepreneurial history. Furthermore, Nakamoto's desire for anonymity for unknown reasons contrasts with CZ's public figure status. In Summary Based on current information, there is no solid evidence to support the claim that Changpeng Zhao is Satoshi Nakamoto. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains a mystery and is not attributed to any specific individual or group. Despite efforts to uncover the truth behind this enigmatic figure, the crypto world has not been able to reach a definitive conclusion regarding Nakamoto's true identity. #SatoshiNakamoto #ChangpengZhao #BTC #bitcoin $BTC #cz
