No BRICS Currency Planned, Says Group’s Envoy

Image
Brazil’s Ambassador to India Kenneth Felix Haczynski da Nobrega confirmed in a recent interview that the BRICS alliance has no plans of creating a new currency to challenge the US dollar. The statement comes after the 17th summit in Rio de Janeiro which saw member nations push towards a multipolar financial world. The formation of a new BRICS currency is not feasible and was not discussed at the 17th summit on July 6 and 7. However, Kenneth revealed that the alliance will focus on settling trade with local currencies instead of the US dollar. The transactions will be on a “voluntary basis” among member nations to adapt local currencies for cross-border transactions.

The Verdict Is Out on When XRP Can Reach $13.05

Image
XRP is trading at the $2.30 level on Monday and remains rangebound in price this month. The Ripple’s native token is moving between the $2.10-$2.30 range but struggling to climb above the threshold. The development is testing the patience of investors as several took entry positions hoping it could breach the $3 mark. Only Bitcoin is rallying in the charts above the $108,000 level but the bullishness is not being reflected in leading altcoins. However, the latest price prediction from the Finder’s panel of financial experts indicates that XRP could ignite a rally. The rally is not for the short term but is only for the long-term holders. The panel of experts projects Ripple’s native token to reach a maximum high of $13.05 in the coming years. Taking an entry position now at $2.30 could fetch fabulous returns when it reaches the price target of $13.05. Also Read: XRP Up From $0.3 in July 2022 To $2.2 in July 2025: $5 By 2027?

Security Ramp-up in DeFi

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has revolutionized how we interact with money, offering open access to financial services like lending, trading, and yield farming without intermediaries. But this innovation hasn’t come without risks. From the $600M Poly Network hack to smart contract exploits and rug pulls, DeFi’s meteoric rise has been shadowed by a cascade of security failures. Now, a new chapter is unfolding: the Security Ramp-up in DeFi . The space is evolving fast, and security is no longer an afterthought—it’s a frontline strategy. Let’s explore how DeFi is stepping up its game to protect users, protocols, and the very future of decentralized finance. Why Security Became the Priority The total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols once surpassed $200 billion. But with every major exploit, confidence wavers. In 2022 alone, DeFi accounted for over 82% of all crypto losses due to hacks (according to Chainalysis). Each attack has highlighted weaknesses in smart contract...

Darknet market Abacus may be gone for good after BTC move

Online drugs marketplace Abacus Market has either been seized by US authorities or is performing an exit scam on its users following questionable bitcoin (BTC) transfers, according to Darkweb Informer.  The darkweb news blog first highlighted a BTC transfer on June 30 that was reportedly made as Abacus went down with DDOS issues and the “malfunctioning” of link directory Daunt. Informer also noted that Abacus was experiencing problems with deposits failing to appear. Informer and vxdb, another cybercrime news reporter, both claimed it wasn’t a good look, with Informer speculating that it’s a sign of a “possible exit scam in process.” Abacus’s issues were addressed on the Reddit-style darkweb forum Dread by Abacus’s CEO, “Vito,” who claimed his site experienced an increase in traffic since another drug site Archetyp was shuttered by Europol .  Abacus Market is either fedded or exit scamming, take your choice… you would be a fool to continue using this market if it...

REX Shares To Launch First US Solana Staking ETF Tomorrow

Image
The first Solana staking ETF (exchange-traded fund) that will track the price of SOL and deliver staking yields to investors will begin trading on July 3, according to REX Shares. “Coming Wednesday: The First-Ever Staked Crypto ETF in the U.S.!” the firm said in a June 30 X post. SEC Has No Further Comments On REX Shares Solana Staking ETF The X post by REX Shares comes after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) informed the firm that it had “no further comments” on the Solana staking ETF filing jointly submitted by REX Shares and Osprey Funds.  The product, which is officially titled the REX-Osprey Solana and Staking ETF, would be the first US ETF to offer investors SOL exposure alongside staking rewards.  That is made possible through the ETF’s structure under the Investment Company Act of 1940 using a C-corporation format that allows staking income to flow directly to investors without triggering any regulatory red flags arou...

What NFTs Really Mean for Creators?

In the ever-evolving digital age, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have transformed from a fleeting trend into a powerful movement — especially for creators. But beyond the headlines and million-dollar JPEGs, what do NFTs really mean for artists, musicians, writers, and digital creators right now? Let’s break it down. True Digital Ownership NFTs give creators the ability to own and control their work in ways that weren’t possible before. Each digital item is uniquely verifiable on the blockchain, meaning no more stolen art, unauthorized prints, or uncredited reshares. In a world of copy-paste, NFTs bring authenticity. Royalties That Actually Pay Thanks to smart contracts, many NFT platforms now allow creators to earn royalties every time their work is resold. Imagine getting paid not just once, but again and again as your art gains value over time. It’s passive income, creator-style. A Direct Line to Fans NFTs open up new paths for creators to connect with their audience. Think exclusiv...

Dogecoin ETF Nearing? Bitwise Amends ETF Filing

The arrival of a Spot Dogecoin ETF may finally be nearing, as crypto fund asset manager Bitwise has amended its S-1 application with the SEC. The ETF issuer updated the regulatory filing for its Dogecoin ETF on Thursday, suggesting approval chances could be growing, according to Bloomberg analysts. “Bitwise has filed amended S-1s for their spot dogecoin ETF and their spot aptos ETFs,” wrote Bloomberg Intelligence’s Eric Balchunas. “Good signs as it indicates SEC engagement, and tracks with other spot approvals.” Balchunas is not wrong, as similar instances have occurred with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs prior to their launches. The SEC has several crypto ETF decisions to make, including for DOGE, SOL, and XRP. The approval odds for all of these crypto assets are growing, and could mean monster gains for each coin following spot ETF launches. Bitcoin’s price has nearly doubled since the first Spot BTC ETFs went live in January. Several crypto experts predict th...
