Fireblocks launches new network to streamline stablecoin transfers

Fireblocks launches new network to streamline stablecoin transfers

The post Fireblocks launches new network to streamline stablecoin transfers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fireblocks revealed Thursday that it is introducing a network to facilitate easier stablecoin transfers between institutions. Over 40 participants have joined the network so far, including Bridge, a stablecoin venture that fintech giant Stripe snapped up.  The roster also features firms like Zerohash, Yellow Card, and Circle, the stablecoin issuer that went public in a major June IPO. Fireblocks’ network will enable fintechs to manage payouts and remittances According to Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov, the network will expose users to much larger banking connections and licenses than they’d normally have. Ideally, the network will allow fintechs, PSPs, and other entities to build on the company’s platform to manage payouts, remittances, merchant settlements, cross-border treasury operations, and comprehensive global payment flows. The firm has also promoted its network as open, secure, and compliant, which now links local payment rails, blockchains, and stablecoin systems with on/off-ramp options, stablecoin issuers, liquidity providers, on-chain FX, and remittance services in more than 60 currencies. However, referring to companies wanting to build out their own stablecoin networks, Shaulov stated, “Either it’s super expensive from an engineering standpoint and takes them a lot of time, or if they’re starting to do it manually, then, of course, it’s basically prone to errors, so they can lose money.”  So far, over 40 providers are on the Fireblocks Network, including Alfred, Banxa, Bridge, Transfero, Velocity, Braza Bank, Conduit, B2C2, Circle, dLocal, GSR, OpenPayd, NexChange, Nonco, Pave Bank, QCP, Reap, SCRYPT Digital, Singapore Gulf Bank, Sygnum, Transak, Yellow Card, Zerocap, Zerohash, and Zodia Markets, with more expected to join. According to Bridge CEO Zach Abrams, connecting to Fireblocks will enable businesses to move between stablecoins and fiat directly on the Fireblocks platform, making their financial operations more efficient. He added that the method presents an accelerated settlement, a global reach, and…

Strategy’s Cycle Peak Aligned with IBIT Options Debut Last November

Strategy’s Cycle Peak Aligned with IBIT Options Debut Last November

The post Strategy’s Cycle Peak Aligned with IBIT Options Debut Last November appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. When BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) options went live on Nov. 19, trading activity exploded, reaching over $2 billion in volume on day one. Around the same time, Strategy’s (MSTR) multiple to net asset value (mNAV), calculated by dividing its enterprise value by its bitcoin BTC$110,097.45 NAV, hit a cycle peak of 3.141 on Nov 20. This peak aligned with bitcoin’s price nearing $100,000 and MSTR’s stock reaching an all-time high of $540. Since then, MSTR has fallen 40%, and its mNAV has compressed to 1.55. At the peak, Strategy held 331,200 BTC, which now represents an increase of roughly 305,000 BTC compared to earlier holdings. MSTR has long offered investors a unique trading vehicle, blending equity exposure with bitcoin’s volatility. Traders could use it both as a leveraged play on bitcoin and as an instrument for options strategies. This differentiated it from IBIT, which only provided direct exposure to spot bitcoin, but now investors have the choice of both. Despite IBIT’s strong debut and steady growth, MSTR has massively outperformed since the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in January 2024. MSTR is up more than 515%, compared to IBIT’s 128% gain. On metrics like historical trading volume and volatility, MSTR continues to outpace IBIT. Currently, bitcoin implied volatility sits below 40, a relatively subdued level. Implied volatility reflects the market’s expectations of future price swings, and when it is low, traders are less inclined to pursue leveraged or option-based strategies. For leverage products like MSTR to regain momentum, bitcoin volatility will likely need to climb higher.

Nvidia chips still wanted by Chinese AI firms despite Beijing pressure

Nvidia chips still wanted by Chinese AI firms despite Beijing pressure

The post Nvidia chips still wanted by Chinese AI firms despite Beijing pressure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nvidia chips remain in high demand in China despite U.S. export restrictions and pressure from the Chinese government for tech firms to rely less on American-made technology.  The Jensen Huan-led chipmaker is in the process of developing a new chip called B30A that is expected to perform twice as much as its popular H20 chip. Nvidia’s chips are still in demand in the Chinese tech market Chinese technology giants, including Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent, are reportedly still eager to buy Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips, despite the pressure from the Beijing government to limit reliance on U.S. suppliers. Four sources told Reuters that these companies continued to seek reassurance that their orders for Nvidia’s H20 chip are being processed. The H20 is a downgraded version of Nvidia’s advanced chips, designed specifically to comply with U.S. export restrictions. In July of this year, the U.S. government scaled back its restrictions and allowed Nvidia permission to resume selling the H20 in China. U.S. President Donald Trump also struck a deal requiring Nvidia to give the U.S. government 15% of its H20 revenue. The restriction was initially imposed by the U.S. government to limit China’s access to the most advanced semiconductors. However, critics of strict bans have said that Chinese firms are more likely to keep using Nvidia’s software products if they can continue buying these downgraded chips, rather than fully shifting to rivals like Huawei. The high demand for Nvidia’s chips despite government interference on both sides is due to the development of its newer and more powerful chip, tentatively called the B30A. It’s been reported by two sources that the B30A could be up to six times more powerful than the H20. If approved for sale in China, it is expected to cost about twice as much, with a projected price tag…
