NEWS IN THREE SENTENCES
Crypto News đ°
đź UFCâs Instagram Hacked to Shill Sham Token
Cybercriminals took over the UFCâs IG account, hawking a fake memecoin. Fans were confused if it was real, but the post was definitely a scam. CryptoDNES.
đ Zilliqa 2.0 Staking Overhaul
Zilliqaâs moving from PoW to PoS, so those staked seed nodes become real network validators. Minimum 10 million ZIL if you fancy being a validator. So, only $190,000 at todayâs prices big shot. Zilliqa blog.
đŞ Tether Caps 2024 With $13B Profit and Mega-Size Treasury Holdings
They just put out their Q4 2024 attestation: a record $13B in profits, $113B in U.S. Treasuries, and a comfy $7B reserve buffer. Basically, Tetherâs doubling down on being a top 10 holder of Uncle Samâs IOUs, plus they minted $45B in new USDT this yearâimpressive flex. Tether blog.
âď¸ Solana vs. Ethereum: âNot So Fast,â Says Analyst
Solanaâs soared in speed and user adoption, but Ethereumâs developer base, DeFi ecosystem, and decentralization keep it on top for now. IntoTheBlockâs Juan Pellicer says SOL has to fix centralization concerns, get more devs, and build real DeFi mojo if it wants to dethrone ETH. BeInCrypto.
đ Quboid: Upgraded Loyalty Programs
This is pretty freaking cool. Quboid wants to tokenize brand loyalty points so you donât juggle 17 different rewards accounts. Built on Avalanche L1, it merges liquidity for brand tokens so Starbucks points can theoretically be swapped for airline milesâor maybe just a worthless alt token. Avalanche network.
âď¸ SDF & OpenZeppelin Join Forces
Stellar Dev Foundation is teaming up with OpenZeppelin for a two-year blitz to overhaul security and dev tools on Soroban. Theyâre basically dropping âEthereum best practicesâ onto Stellar, so devs can copy/paste audited code and pretend theyâre experts. The plan? Transform the Stellar ecosystem into a fortress thatâs easy to build on and (hopefully) doesnât break. Stellar blog.
đ¤ Genius Group Launches Rights Offering to Pump Its BTC War Chest
The AI-driven edtech outfit wants to push its Bitcoin treasury to $100M. Shareholders can buy extra shares at $0.50, and if thatâs maxed out plus a planned $22M loan, theyâll nearly double their BTC stash. This follows Geniusâs vow to keep most of its reserves in Bitcoin, because apparently thatâs how you do âAI meets FinTechâ in 2025. CryptoBriefing.
