Crypto News: Circle Unveils New Protocol To Drive USDC's Growth

Circle Unveils New CCTP Protocol

According to the company’s official statement, the new protocol, unlike a conventional bridge system, does not lock tokens sent to its smart contract. In contrast, it enables the transfer of USDC between different blockchain networks by minting the same amount on one chain while burning native USDC on another and thereby enabling asset transfers.

Additionally, the protocol can be integrated into a crypto wallet, bridge, or app, allowing users to transfer any quantity of USDC to an ecosystem that supports it. The official statement released by the firm was quoted as saying:

A user accesses your app to initiate a transfer of USDC from one blockchain to another, and specifies the recipient wallet address on the destination chain.

Over the past few years, bridge hacks have caused users to lose billions of dollars worth of USDC and other cryptocurrencies, as attackers have consistently mastered the skill to extract locked funds from smart contracts and fill-in with duplicate copies on the receiving network without any kind of backing. This in turn has become a major headache for crypto startups and developers alike on figuring out ways to circumvent the issue.

With this new feature, USDC hopes to stand out in the larger crypto market and among U.S. legislators who recently held a congressional hearing on stablecoins. While market participants appreciate the new initiative, it might not be enough topple the current market leader, Tether (USDT). Boasting a market cap of nearly $81 billion, the stablecoin has been the most liquid and although it has repeatedly been mired in litigations, accusations and controversies, it has still managed to retain its number one spot over the years.

In light of this crypto news, the price of USDC remained pegged to its $1 value while witnessing a 35% surge in trading volume over the past 24 hours.

SHIB, PEPE: Bitcoin Devs Want to Crush $500 Million Meme Coin Market

Image
The meme coin hype was re-ignited in the second quarter of 2023. The launch of Pepe Coin in mid-April single-handedly managed to kickstart the market’s meme-coin season. The original PEPE Coin is an ERC-20 token that’s based on Ethereum. On the heels of the rising hype, other blockchains have gradually stepped up. On Bitcoin, BRC-20 tokens have gained significant popularity. According to brc-20 .io, there are around 24,677 BRC-20 tokens worth $475,058,296. It is worth recalling that their cumulative worth surpassed the $1 billion threshold last month. The Bitcoin blockchain is currently sustaining several spin-off versions of original meme tokens. For instance, the BRC-20 token ‘pepe’ was worth $0.20 at press time on Monday, post noting a 1.1% incline over the past day. Its aggregate capitalization was over $8.3 million. The original Pepe Coin, however, noted a 7% decline in 24-hours and was priced at $0.00000119. Its market cap stood much higher, at $466.1 million. Likew

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to attend 'metaverse' political rally

Image
Julian Assange , who is wanted by the United States on 18 espionage charges, is to appear in the ‘ Metaverse ’ alongside former UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as part of a virtual protest against the WikiLeaks founder’s extradition to the US.  Assange will appear at the web3 political rally on August 26 in an effort to raise awareness of and help prevent his extradition. Also giving speeches at the event will be his wife Stella Assange, Corbyn, and WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson.  According to a press release shared by event host Wistaverse, “speakers at the rally will appear either as characters inside the event or with filmed contributions shown on screens inside the arena.”  The arena will be “designed to look like the Royal Courts of Justice in London where Assange is set to face his final appeal in the UK court system.” Organizers of the protest hope to build up support for a real-life protest at the Royal Courts of Justice once a court date is announced.

Bitcoin 2023: Miami has had enough and so have we

We attended Bitcoin Miami 2023. In short — it’s over. Attendance halved from the prior year. The layout of the once-sprawling venue lost all of its outdoor spaces plus an entire wing of the Miami Beach Convention Center. The biggest announcements were trivial: a headquarters relocation from Strike, a development toolkit from Web5, a Bitcoin endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and an up-to-$1 million donation to Bitcoin Core development from Marathon. It was underwhelming and Miami has had enough. Even the conference organizer agrees — next year’s Bitcoin conferennce will relocate to Nashville. Bitcoin 2023 conference loses half its attendees Had you asked the average Miami resident last year their thoughts about the benefits of Bitcoin to their city, most would have responded with skeptical optimism.  Last year’s conference attracted over 30,000 visitors and was the largest conference in Bitcoin’s history. At the time, the CEO of the world’s second-largest crypto exchange was
