I've now been scammed twice and lost money, each time the scammers hacked a friend's messaging accounts and suddenly asked for financial help, and gave me all kinds of details that only my friends would know (from reading the hacked accounts, no doubt). Being a helpful friend, I offered to lend them money. They sent me a Tron address for USDT... I guess the lesson is: nobody uses Tron except scammers. If anyone, family, friends, business partners sends you a Tron address for any kind of transaction, they are probably scamming you. submitted by /u/HaikuHaiku [link] [Kommentare]

Let me preface this by saying I think RWAs are truly revolutionary, and bridging the global financial system together to allow people in developing nations to purchase treasury bonds and stocks in stronger economies is truly a remarkable technological development, and has become a discovery of mine that has made me understand that crypto truly does have use. However, after digging deeper into tokenomics, I am extremely confused by the market valuations of XRP and XLM. With other coins like ETH, TRX, and SOL. I can understand that they have somewhat reasonable multipliers due to the fact that they generate billions in revenue annually. But I can’t quite wrap my mind around how XRP is worth 70 billion, and XLM is 7 billion, when these coins would need to generate trillions of transactions daily to generate fees that could even be considered substantial. Is there anyone that understands these projects better that has some knowledge that opposes this? Or are these coins really that grossly speculative and overpriced? submitted by /u/Most-Use-2167 [link] [Kommentare]

Saylor has repeatedly compared STRC to a high-yield money market. STRC is currently under $92. I can't remember the last time I've seen a High Yield Savings Account return negative 8% in a single month. This is chart from the weekend is already outdated since STRC dropped another 3.5% today even though BTC only dropped 1%. Somehow this supposedly-stable, bank-like STRC has been behaving more volatile than BTC lately. Cracks are showing. submitted by /u/HSuke [link] [Kommentare]

Trump’s $300 billion problem on the Iran agreement Many ifs, but let's entertain the hypothesis that both the peace deal holds and that US actually unlocks their funds - would Iran be incentivized to convert the dollars into crypto? I don't want to imply that crypto will ever be used as a currency, but in this scenario, could this be an actual use case for crypto in modern economies? So non-hegemonic countries can maintain a less liquid asset than dollars, but also easier to move than let's say gold or another form of hedge? https://preview.redd.it/njpvd49kfq7h1.png?width=693&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d038a0f9785bda7e1a76cf1fc5623d5869d0e8c submitted by /u/User4f52 [link] [Kommentare]

Long story short, I usually use exodus but it was down for a day or something. I ended up using Coinbase to transfer funds to another wallet… That was 12 days ago and it’s still holding my funds saying the classic “3-5 days” thing. Genuinely hope this is just a me experience and people don’t have issues cause this is ridiculous. submitted by /u/jackieisbaddasf [link] [Kommentare]

> Except from article. ​ Nigeria received approximately $59 billion in crypto-asset inflows between July 2023 and June 2024, according to an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report published June 16. The country has accounted for 60% of all stablecoin inflows across sub-Saharan Africa since 2019. Dollar-pegged tokens have grown from a niche product into a primary channel for cross-border transfers among households and small businesses. Conventional remittance services charge Nigerian senders an average of 9% of the transaction value to move $200 abroad, compared to a global average of 6%, according to World Bank data. Stablecoins have offered a faster and cheaper alternative. Smartphone access and digital wallets have made adoption easy to scale across income levels. submitted by /u/zesushv [link] [Kommentare]
