BitSNARK allows privacy-preserving transactions and smart contracts without changing Bitcoin’s core protocol, enhancing its role in decentralized finance (DeFi). Edan Yago, CEO of BitcoinOS, hopes the open-source nature of BitSNARK will foster collaboration and innovation. via Cointelegraph here https://shorturl.at/iaAvo 🚀 According to data from the IntoTheBlock here https://shorturl.at/fLB8a Chainlink whales have become active once again after a period of reduced activity. Whale transactions involving LINK tokens valued at $100,000 or more have seen a significant surge, with a notable 296% increase in large transactions. Additionally, the number of active addresses has risen by 14.7%. So, what’s driving this renewed activity? A combination of Chainlink's growing utility, upcoming upgrades, partnerships, and positive market conditions could be driving the increased whale activity. 🚨 Visa has launched the Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) to assist banks in issuing fiat-backed tokens on the Ethereum network. This platform will leverage smart contracts to digitize and automate existing processes for exchanging real-world assets (RWAs) like commodities and bonds with near-real-time settlement. Spanish bank BBVA will be one of the first institutions to utilize VTAP, planning a live pilot in 2025. ⚡ Two UAE news (See slides) ⚡ Bybit launches Islamic account, expanding access to crypto trading for Muslim communities worldwide ⚡ Microsoft expands its Global Engineering Development Center’s footprint in Abu Dhabi
