The Algorand Foundation today shared new progress from its Humanitarian Payments Council, marking a shift from pilot projects to institutional-scale deployments. Convening today in Washington, D.C. to build on the foundations laid during their September meeting in Berlin, Council members are highlighting a major expansion of blockchain-backed aid delivery in high-stakes environments. Most notably, according to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, it has scaled its use of reloadable cards through HesabPay, the Algorand-powered payments platform, to support more than 625,000 refugee returnees and over 17,500 internally displaced people in Afghanistan, with more than $35 million in assistance. This operational milestone reflects the network's ability to support large-scale aid disbursement in a live deployment and provide secure, immediate financial empowerment in regions where traditional banking infrastructure is absent or limited. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [Kommentare]

I bought some bitcoin through Kraken, which I then sent to my wallet on the CakeWallet app. I had a previous receive address from that CakeWallet saved already, so I used that one… Except I later realized CakeWallet changes your receive address each time you move crypto, so now Kraken says the operation has been finished successfully and I clearly don’t see it on my CakeWallet. The transaction was done about an hour ago, is that money lost? Could it be it’s just taking a little longer to be received by CakeWallet? EDIT: the crypto just arrived to my wallet! Everything’s good 😅 submitted by /u/Fantastic_Visual6514 [link] [Kommentare]

There’s a HD from mining in the early 2Ks also it’s in another country. Is it worth flying 12+hrs to retrieve & what you do once I have it? submitted by /u/Professional-God2379 [link] [Kommentare]

I was doing some research into the Arculus cold storage solution and found that most of their is available online to a degree. Furthermore it appears from a simple Big query that in the past all of there repos where public. Has anyone had any security issues with the card? submitted by /u/Effective-Brain-3386 [link] [Kommentare]

Hello, A little while ago I posted about a project concept I had. The idea was a web app and a mobile app where you add the wallet address you want to track. Cointer checks the blockchain for you. When a tracked address gets a deposit, you get a notification and a dashboard of activity/totals. No accounts, no passwords, just a private link that ties everything together. For this beta, only BTC and ETH are supported, more chains may come later. This is aimed at people who receive crypto payments, streamers, or people who want to keep an eye on their wallets. Of course, most wallets already have some version of this feature, but this takes it a step further. You can get notified over mobile push notifications, ntfy, Discord, Slack, or email. It also compiles up to 90 days of transactions into a dashboard showing totals for the last day, week, and month, broken down by address and asset. There's an activity page with full deposit history and pagination. I've built a few other open-source projects and picked up sponsors from several hosting companies, which is what let me set this up for a beta. That said, the amount of users I can support right now is small (around 150 BTC wallets and a few thousand ETH). No catch here. There's a 10 wallet and 10 notification channel limit, and notifications aren't always guaranteed. The project is free to use and always will be, contributions just help me support more users and more chains down the line. More info in the comments.

I know rates can change from trade to trade, but after enough swaps you start noticing certain platforms giving better results more often than others. I'm curious if anyone has found one they trust enough to use without constantly comparing alternatives. submitted by /u/BruiseWayneee [link] [Kommentare]

Let me know what you think about this :) Good luck to everyone! #memecoins . . . . Woooooooooooo submitted by /u/One_Examination3793 [link] [Kommentare]

Cryptocurrencies are set to be recognized as financial assets in Japan under a new regulatory framework that will bring major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA). The changes introduce stricter oversight, including insider trading rules, enhanced disclosure requirements, and tougher penalties for non-compliance. The move comes as crypto adoption continues to grow across Japan and is widely viewed as a step toward aligning the country's regulatory framework with international standards. With implementation expected within the next year and full adoption targeted by fiscal year 2027, the reforms could boost investor confidence and support greater institutional participation in the crypto market. submitted by /u/Webclues_Infotech [link] [Kommentare]

Memecoins feel quieter this year. I remember paying close attention to DOGE, SHIB and Floki back in 2021, but their prices and attention feel nowhere near what they were then. It also feels like people are talking less about memes or maybe crypto too. I sold all my memecoins in 2023 and moved them all to BTC. I split them into a long-term position and grid bots for short term votality on bydfi. That feels like a smart decision when looking back now. Curious how you guys see memecoins and crypto overall now. Are you still confident?？ submitted by /u/Gentlegee01 [link] [Kommentare]

Japan upper house committee approved reclassifying crypto under the FIEA, the same law that governs stocks and bonds, moving it out of the payment services act. the full floor vote is still coming but with the LDP controlling both chambers it's expected to pass easily cabinet approved the draft in april, lower house passed it in june, and now this and once in effect, crypto tax drops from a progressive rate topping out near 55% to a flat 20%, though that piece runs on a separate timeline and doesn't kick in until 2028. the FIEA reclassification itself targets fiscal 2027 and clears the legal path for spot crypto ETFs on the TSE, with listings realistically landing in late 2027 or 2028 It also brings new insider trading bans, mandatory annual disclosures for issuers, and stiffer penalties for unlicensed operators, up to 10 years and ¥10M in fines versus the current 3 year max Japan has over 13 million crypto accounts and its high tax rate has long been blamed for weak trading volume relative to its tech adoption submitted by /u/ocean_protocol [link] [Kommentare]
