Curve Finance’s CEO Has the Largest Lending Position in DeFi

Kaiko stated that Curve Finance’s CEO’s latest CRV deposit was done to protect him from liquidation. The blockchain intelligence firm noted that the CEO has 200 million CRV backing a 60 million USDT loan.

In a report published earlier today, the blockchain intelligence firm Kaiko noted that the CEO of  Curve Finance, Michael Egorov, deposited $35 million worth of CRV to Aave V2 in 3 large transactions over the past few weeks. According to the firm, these deposits may be an attempt to protect his large lending position on DeFi lending protocols from liquidation. Last week, some observers raised concerns about a large lending and borrowing position on Aave, totaling about $200mn $CRV and $60mn $USDT. But how concerned should we really be?

Bernstein Report Shows Tokenization Could be $5 Trillion Opportunity Spearheaded by CBDCs and Stablecoins

A recent research report by Bernstein highlights the potential for tokenization to become a $5 trillion opportunity over the next five years. Stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) pose as drivers for this revolution. The report speculates approximately 2% of the global money supply, equivalent to around $3 trillion, tokenized during this period.

Slow Food: Kenny Schachter reflects on blockchain art’s past, present and future

Image
NFTs might never boom at quite the same pitch they once did. With his first solo show in 25 years, Kenny Schachter sought to demonstrate how that’s a good thing. With crypto in a state of turbulent flux, a demographic of nonfungible token (NFT) detractors in the fine art world might feel trigger-happy to, at last, declare the industry down for the count.  Meanwhile, artist, critic, dealer, educator and outspoken NFT proponent Kenny Schachter is celebrating the conclusion of Slow Food — his first New York City art exhibition in 25 years — at The NFT Gallery on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, fresh off the heels of headlining NFT Art Day ZRH in Zurich, Switzerland, coinciding with the iconic annual Art Basel art fair, less than 50 miles away. In June 2022, Schachter had just presented the first-ever NFT booth wall at Art Basel with Galerie Nagle Draxler, expanding the acceptance of NFTs just before profile pictures became the face of their demise. Soon after, Schachter was spotted among th...

Ripple Secures BitGo CEO's Support in Ongoing Lawsuit with SEC

Image
Defining BitGo CEO’s Support for Ripple In a Twitter post , Belshe clarified that his support for Ripple’s victory in the lawsuit was not driven by personal affection for XRP but rather by a desire to bring about regulatory change.  advertisement He expressed the belief that a favorable outcome for Ripple would pave the way for regulatory frameworks that foster innovation, just as Bitcoin (BTC) was allowed to develop without being stifled by regulatory burdens in its early stages. In his statement, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe drew a parallel between the early days of Bitcoin and the current situation with Ripple and XRP. Belshe pointed out that Bitcoin, despite its vision of decentralization, had a centralized aspect in its early years, similar to Ripple.  Consequently, he suggested that if Bitcoin had been subjected to the same regulatory scrutiny as Ripple is facing now, it could have been labeled a “security”. Re...

Crypto lobbyists seek SEC info on regulatory approval for Prometheum

Image
The Blockchain Association, a prominent US crypto lobbying group, has lodged a formal inquiry with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to acquire information about the relatively unknown crypto firm, Prometheum.

On June 15, Marissa Coppel, counsel for the Blockchain Association, expressed skepticism about Prometheum’s regulatory approval as a special purpose broker-dealer (SPBD) for digital assets, especially given the SEC’s ongoing strict enforcement measures. Coppel further questioned how Kaplan could testify at a Congressional hearing on crypto regulations. 2/ The CEO somehow gets a seat in front of Congress and argues that Prometheum represents the compliant path for digital assets. And they've paid $1.5+ million in sales commissions to ...
