After weeks of waiting, Binance has launched opBNB for its Binance Smart Chain (BSC). opBNB is a layer-2 solution from the BSC and stands out as one of BNBs best projects yet. The opBNB solution will offer increased speed and scalability for the BSC.

Over 400,000 unique wallet addresses have already been registered on the opBNB testnet, and the mainnet has been predicted to record more users. During testnet, opBNB processed 7 million on-chain transactions per second, making it one of the best high-performing blockchain networks.

eTukTuk is the first electric vehicle charging solution to make use of BNB chains opBNB layer two solutions, utilizing its cutting-edge optimistic rollups to scale functionality and reduce gas fees on the blockchain. The announcement has caused an increase in the price of BNB.

The BNB price has increased by more than 5%, rallying to the $230 resistance. However, the BNB token faced rejection at this level. Now trading at $229, the BNB coin would need a significant bullish momentum to break above this price level.

Every year, thousands of projects launch in the crypto space via presale, but only very few projects gain traction. Amidst this growing competition, Pomerdoge (POMD) has been gaining momentum, making a name for itself due to its new gaming model.

Pomerdoge is a new play-to-earn (P2E) project that combines the blockchain P2E and meme coins. Currently, at stage one of its presale stage, Pomerdoge is projected to revolutionize the market because of its real-life application.

Within the Pomerdoge game, gamers will go on missions within the arenas with their Pomers to collect in-game items and rewards which can be sold for real cash. The Pomerdoge team will also organize weekly tournaments and competitions to increase gameplay and awareness.

In these competitions, members of the Pomerdoge gaming ecosystem will earn cash prizes up for grabs worth up to $100,000 and also $50,000 worth of mega Pomer Price. Moreover, presale investors will get a chance to earn a percentage of the platforms revenue with Pomerdoge initiators offering over 7,777 worth of NFTs to those who have an early stake in the project.

The projects presale will have four stages, and the first stage is selling out quickly. The token now trades at $0.01 making it a great option for investors looking for massive gains as crypto experts have predicted up to 17x gain to see POMD reach highs of $0.17 by the end of the year.

B2BinPay v17 – Breaking down the latest major platform update – Cointelegraph

The B2BinPay crypto platform has presented an all-new v17 upgrade to its digital infrastructure, providing much-needed additions and improvements to elevate the user experience. B2BinPay's crypto platform has been among the industry leaders in providing smooth and seamless crypto services for merchant and enterprise clients.

The latest platform update aims to build on the solid core foundation of B2BinPay, offering new tools, features, trading options and much more. Let's examine the nature and extent of additions in the v17 update.

While the crypto market has matured and improved significantly over the last two years, it still experiences high levels of volatility. Thus, stablecoins have become one of the most popular assets in this field, offering a much-desired predictability to crypto users. To accommodate the rising demands of the public, B2BinPay has decided to expand its settlement portfolio by adding two new stablecoins, TrueUSD and Euro Coin, alongside its existing options of BTC, USDT, USDC, USD and EUR.

Thus, the total B2BinPay package now features 14 coins, 14 stablecoins and 25 tokens with various utilities. These virtual assets are automatically settled into the seven currencies, including the two newly added coins.

TrueUSD and Euro Coin have built-in ERC20, BEP20 and TRC 20 token standards, allowing customers to manage their crypto assets seamlessly. Adding Euro Coin is highly important for the B2BinPay's audience, as it presents a definitive stablecoin option for businesses in the Eurozone territory. Moreover, Euro Coin was developed by Circle, which is most famous for creating USDC, the second-largest stablecoin on the market.

With the v17 update, B2BinPay now supports an impressive pool of tokens, including 14 stablecoins and 113 new permits, in 14 different Blockchain networks. The notable networks presented by B2BinPay include Tron, Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.

While the quality and functionality of crypto platforms are essential, clients also look for optimal pricing options. That is why B2BinPay has revised its pricing model, providing a more affordable plan for clients with limited budgetary capabilities.

For merchants, B2BinPay now offers a complete account setup for just $500. The v17 update also overhauled the commission structure, reducing the standard merchant fees from 0.5% to 0.4%. Sometimes, the new commission tiers can go as low as 0.25%.

Enterprise clients' setup charges have also decreased from $1,500 to $1,000, which also includes smart contract activation on various networks, including Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. Enterprise clients can also choose from various digital wallets, like Binance Coin, Ripple, Stellar, Tron, etc.

B2BinPay understands the significance of seamless user experience and presents several crucial improvements to UI with the v17 upgrade. These include expanded search capabilities, sorting assets alphabetically, marking them as favourites, etc. Additionally, B2BinPay supports users with a comprehensive onboarding guide, explaining all the details and intricacies of the platform to enhance adoption.

V17 update also accommodates the conversion of payout fees in the default currency of choice, letting customers manage their costs in a simplified manner. Customers can choose custom fee currencies as well.

The v17 update has simplified dropdown menus, letting users manage their dashboards with ease. The search capabilities have also been expanded, which enables users to navigate the platform efficiently.

The platform has disposed of the 7-day expiration date for customer invoices, which lets users organise their documentation without arbitrary deadlines. B2BinPay will also send automated email reports to customers, letting them analyse their past performance in a summarised manner.

As for enterprise clients, they can now sort the wallet tables using unique IDs and currency types. The QR code now displays respective token icons on the top for convenience. Finally, clients can add or remove IP addresses from the whitelist with a one-step process, only requiring password authentication.

Of course, all of the above-outlined improvements would be in vain without effective customer support. The new "unread counter" feature allows users to control the status of their tickets and receive appropriate support much faster, enhancing the overall user experience.

v17 is a major improvement across the entire B2BinPay platform ecosystem. However, the team does not plan to stop there, and the development of v18 and v19 is already underway.

B2BinPay has also announced two major upcoming partnerships. In collaboration with Ledger, B2BinPay is developing custom-made Ledger Nano X wallets, only available to the platform users. Additionally, the B2BinPay team is excited to announce their sponsorship of the Athletic Club for the 2023/2024 La Liga session.

Overall, the team behind B2BinPay is staying proactive in their efforts to iterate on their core foundation and reward loyal customers with an ever-improving platform.

4 Reasons The Bitcoin Price Could Hit $50,000 This Winter … – Finbold – Finance in Bold

Bitcoin (BTC) is undergoing something of a correction with bearish sentiment and price-action awash in the crypto market.

The largest and most popular cryptocurrency often sets the tone for the rest of the tokens on the market and many analysts are predicting a short-term drop for BTC, with the most bearish predictions claiming it could dip to below $20,000.

However, there is plenty of reason to be optimistic that while Bitcoin could struggle in the coming days and weeks with September a historically poor month for the coin brighter times are ahead before the end of the year.

This article looks at four major reasons Bitcoin could enjoy a strong end to the year, as well as looking at one potential alternative Bitcoin BSC that could outperform it.

One of the biggest reasons to be optimistic about the BTC price in the coming months is that the next Bitcoin halving is only just around the corner.

It is expected in mid-April and all the previous halvings have been the main catalyst for major bull runs in the crypto market, which has operated with a boom-bust cycle since Bitcoin was invented in 2009.

The halving, or halvening, refers to how many new bitcoins are issued by the Bitcoin network every 10 minutes.

For its first cycle, that figure was 50 it then dropped to 25 in 2012, 12.5 in 2016 and 6.25 in the most recent halving in May 2020.

This halving will see the rewards per block drop to 3.125, cutting the supply in half and driving demand, therefore leading to higher prices.

As the chart (above) shows, each halving has led to significant price action in the build-up and aftermath of the event.

With many crypto investors fully aware that the halving is just over six months away, it could be a good time to stack Bitcoin before the price explodes in the next bull run.

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were one of the main drivers of the Bitcoin resurgence in 2023, as the price of BTC almost doubled from $16,550 in January to a high of $31,500 in mid-July.

Major investment firms such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and VanEck applied for them earlier this year, sparking huge volume and interest in Bitcoin.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs allow investors to access Bitcoin without having to buy or store it themselves, with the ETF manager holding custody of the asset. It would also be available for trading on traditional stock exchanges, if it gets approved.

In late August, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed a decision on approval for them, with the next date for a decision coming in mid-October.

Bloomberg analysts believe there is a 75% chance that they will be launched by the end of this year and former SEC commissioner Jay Clayton said they are inevitable any approval would see an immediate spike in the price of BTC.

Furthermore, analysis from crypto research firm K33, formerly Arcane Research, claimed that the increasing likelihood of approved spot Bitcoin ETFs has not been reflected in the price of Bitcoin.

A report from senior analyst Vetle Lunder read: I firmly believe the market is wrong. This is, by all accounts, a buyers market, and its reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels.

Tying into the above points is that many large institutional firms and financial establishments remain bullish on Bitcoins potential for the future.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs and the Bitcoin halving have been major reasons for this bullishness.

Earlier this year, analysis from British bank Standard Chartered predicted that BTC would reach $50,000 by the end of 2023 and $120,000 by the end of 2024.

As well as Spot Bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming halving, another major factor in their analysis was due to supply dynamics they reason that miners are dedicating more resources to preserving the network and selling less BTC, creating a supply-demand imbalance which will spark bullish action.

Increased miner profitability per BTC (bitcoin) mined means they can sell less while maintaining cash inflows, reducing net BTC supply and pushing BTC prices higher, the report stated.

As well as regulating the ETFs, crypto regulation in a broader sense continues to move ahead. The SEC is locked in court battles with a number of cryptocurrency firms and while they appear to have taken an anti-crypto stance, regulation appears inevitable.

In the UK and across Europe, for example, crypto regulation is a hot topic with the early stages of a regulatory framework either in place or on the way.

Regulation is expected to only help the price of top cryptos, as uncertain investors will be more confident when it passes, increasing demand and price.

The growth and development of artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the biggest hot-button topics of 2023.

Companies, investors and governments are trying to move quickly to get ahead on AI, both in terms of the products they offer and how the technology is managed.

AI has also entered the crypto space in a major way, with AI-related tokens some of the best performers of the year and investors and companies scrambling to utilize the tech.

Bitcoin will be no different and Cathie Wood CEO of ARK Invest, one of the biggest Bitcoin holders believes there is huge potential in AI having a transformative affect on BTC.

Wood appeared on a podcast to speak about the potential synergy between Bitcoin and AI and wrote on Twitter: The convergence between Bitcoin and AI could transform the way companies organize, causing a collapse in costs and an explosion in productivity. I was blown away by the possibilities these brilliant entrepreneurs are creating.

ARK Invest also recently published a report suggesting that the investment firm is assessing the significance of AI within investment strategies.

Earlier this year, Bitcoin billionaire Arthur Hayes also talked up the potential of AI to unlock Bitcoin price action, believing that AI will view the potential of Bitcoin above other currencies due to its self-sustaining nature and lack of human interference.

An AI is unlikely to allow itself to rely on anything that a human government operates therefore only gold and Bitcoin are suitable. A tie between gold and Bitcoin, he wrote.

ChatGPT, the AI system that has helped spark this move for artificial intelligence, also predicts that Bitcoin could reach $35k to $50k by the end of the year.

While Bitcoin returning to $50,000 by the end of the year would be incredible news for investors, the reality is that there may be greater potential for ROI elsewhere in the market.

With the BTC price currently at $26,200, a $50k BTC would mean an increase of 90%.

Bitcoin BSC (BTCBSC) is a brand new project that could well beat those gains before the end of the year and is offering a price not seen by Bitcoin since April 2011 $0.99.

Having only just launched this week, and already raised more than $200,000, Bitcoin BSC is a Bitcoin clone that takes the best bits of the original cryptocurrency and improves upon them.

The project is built on the Binance Smart Chain and has a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism rather than the proof-of-work mechanism employed by Bitcoin. That means Bitcoin BSC is more efficient and scalable, has cheaper transaction costs and is also much more eco-friendly.

Importantly, Bitcoin BSC also offers generous staking rewards, with holders able to lock their tokens into a staking pool and generate impressive token rewards.

According to the Bitcoin BSC staking dashboard, more than 100,000 BTCBSC have already been locked into the staking pool, giving a current estimated annualized percentage yield (APY) of over 2,000%.

That figure will dramatically reduce as more tokens are staked but staking not only allows investors to generate returns but also incentivizes holding and reduces selling pressure, therefore increasing price.

BTC20, another recently released Bitcoin clone, saw almost 600% when it launched on exchanges earlier this year and Bitcoin BSC could be primed for a similar performance especially with the Binance Smart Chain coming with significantly lower trading fees than the Ethereum-based BTC20.

As well as its price being the same as Bitcoin in April 2011, Bitcoin BSC will also have the same circulating supply. Four million tokens have been allocated to an initial presale, with a further 2.125 million reserved for an oversupply round also priced at $0.99.

That will give the project a 6.125 million supply on launch, 29% of the total suppy, with a further 420,000 (2%) pre-mined BTCBSC allocated for liquidity on exchanges.

The max supply will be 21 million, the same as Bitcoin, with the remaining 14.455 million tokens reserved for the staking pool.

Bitcoin BSC will employ the same 120-year unlocking cycle for its tokens as Bitcoin, giving the project a huge shelf life and further incentivizing holding as tokens are unlocked.

4 Reasons The Bitcoin Price Could Hit $50,000 This Winter ... - Finbold - Finance in Bold

Cronos (CRO) Price Insight – With Growing Utility, Can CRO Reach … – Inside Bitcoins

Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage

Cronoss (CRO) price secured support at $0.049 after a 50% drop from the $0.095 year high recorded on February 21. This multi-month support now provides the jumping-off point from CRO, sending it almost 7% north over the past two days.

The 7% rise in Cronos price comes amid hype around the Interchain Hackathon, offering a platform for creativity and innovation in problem-solving.

The Interchain Hackathon is advertised as an event that requires an application to attend. It is a hub for technological innovation, providing the choice meeting point for skilled developers, designers, and enthusiasts worldwide. The attendees come together because of their individual and joint interest in decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and modularity. These are the areas of focus for the event.

Students will get priority in the event, with a particular interest in the local Korean institutions of higher learning. The event starts on September 8 and will go on for two days at the Nonce Building in Seoul, South Korea. The event will also feature a technical workshop, allowing attendees to learn from expert developer Jong Whan.

Notably, the Cronos ecosystem, with a progressive vision, is significant in the Cosmos (ATOM) network. Cronos uses Cosmos SDK, a platform enabling the modular structuring of new blockchains. The collaboration between the two ecosystems helps facilitate an Inter-Blockchain Communications protocol (IBC). This links Cronos Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with the Cosmos chain. In this respect, Cronos native token, CRO, powers mainnet usage while simultaneously serving for transaction settlement and network fee payments.

Cronos features among the event sponsors, game developer Argus, modular consensus and data network Celestia, Keplr wallet, and Osmosis DEX.

The chart above indicates Cronos price against Korean Won (KRW), with CRO skyrocketing on the Korean exchange, Upbit.

Cronoss price is $0.052 at press time, recording a 5% rise on the day. With momentum growing, CRO is currently confronting the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.054. If bulls maintain the accumulation pattern, the altcoin could go as high as breaching the 100-day EMA at $0.056 or higher to tag the $0.061 resistance level.

With eyes set on the $0.100 target, enhanced buying pressure could send Cronos price north, shattering the 200-day EMA hurdle at $0.065. This would clear the path for a foray into the supply zone, which, if bulls manage to overcome, would turn into a bullish breaker, setting the tone for CRO to foray into the psychological $0.080. In a highly bullish case, the altcoin could extrapolate the gains to the second psychological level at $0.100.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) solidifies the bullish case, with a solid north move indicating rising momentum. In the same way, the histogram bars of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) are green, showing the presence of bulls in the CRO market.

Conversely, with the MACD index still negative, Cronoss price risks a correction as bears still abound. In the same way, the downward trajectory of the EMAs shows that the path with more resistance was north. With this, it is possible that CRO could correct, going as low as below the $0.049 support level.

So, while CRO investors deliberate whether to long or short Cronos price, consider BTCBSC, the native crypto for the Bitcoin BSC project.

Bitcoin BSC is a new project featuring among the top three crypto presales to invest in for September 2023. It is a new BEP-20 token in the market, offering investors ultra-high staking rewards.

BitcoinBSC is in the presale stage, recording almost $240,000 in presale sales. The projects goal is to provide investors a chance to compensate for having missed the 2011 Bitcoin (BTC) boom. The BTCBSC token currently retails for $0.99, similar to how BTC traded under the $1.00 mark twelve years ago.

The project is built atop the BNB Smart Chain, enjoying the security, speed, and affordability of the Ethereum blockchain. It provides interoperability alongside other Binance Smart Chain (BSC) decentralized applications (dApps). At the same time, users enjoy the much-desired convenience of buying Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) wallets, including but not limited to MetaMask and Trust Wallet.

Moreover, the project showcases an eco-friendly stake-to-earn model, ideally presenting a sustainable alternative to the Bitcoins proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism. This is a means to earn passive income by staking your BTCBSC tokens in the smart contract and getting rewards for it.

Do not miss out on the BTCBSC rally for any reason.

Zelensky Says Future of War in Ukraine Hinges on U.S. Presidential Election – The New York Times

Law enforcement agents in Russia have detained two Americans in separate incidents in recent weeks one a Russian-born English teacher who was a vocal supporter of the jailed opposition leader Aleksei A. Navalny, and a second man who Russian authorities said was caught trying to smuggle his young son out of the country.

Details of the two cases emerged earlier this week in Russian news media reports as well as in a statement from Russias Investigative Committee, the countrys main investigation agency. A State Department spokesman on Friday confirmed both arrests but declined to provide further details.

Ilya A. Startsev, 37, the English teacher, was among several people arrested in various cities in Russia on Wednesday and accused of donating money to Navalnys Anti-Corruption Foundation, which has been banned, according to OVD-Info, a rights group that reports on repression in Russia, as well as other Russian media outlets.

The foundation, known by its Russian initials F.B.K., has regularly embarrassed senior Russian officials, including President Vladimir V. Putin, by exposing vast holdings they have accumulated while in office, far beyond what their government paychecks would allow.

The other American was arrested after arriving in Russia on July 27 and accused of trying to kidnap his 4-year-old son, a Russian citizen, and to spirit him across the border into Poland, according to a statement released on Thursday by the Investigative Committee, which did not name the man.

Regarding the teacher, the Russian government disbanded the Anti-Corruption Foundation in Russia in 2021 by declaring it an extremist organization, sending the groups main investigators fleeing into exile, where they continue to work. Various Navalny supporters have faced criminal charges in Russia as the Kremlin has ratcheted up repressive measures, especially those trying to silence critics of its war in Ukraine.

A conviction for financing an extremist organization carries an eight-year jail sentence.

Mr. Startsev was born in Russia but moved to the United States as a child after his mother married an American, according to an interview he gave a few years ago as well as accounts in the Russian press. After moving to the Chicago area, he attended high school and Northern Illinois University, according to his online biography.

He moved back to Russia to pursue a teaching career. At the time of his arrest, he was teaching English for a Moscow company called the American Club of Education, which offers both online and in-person courses. He had also taught at a private school in Oryol, a provincial city more than 220 miles southwest of Moscow. He was jailed there on Thursday, a day after being detained in Moscow, Russian news media reports said.

There have been several recent cases of Americans being arrested on unlikely spying charges in Russia. Evan Gershkovich, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, is incarcerated in Moscow facing trial, and Paul Whelan, 53, a former Marine, is serving a 16-year sentence. Last December, Brittney Griner, an American basketball star imprisoned in Russia on drug charges, was released after nearly 10 months of captivity in a prisoner swap for Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms dealer known as the Merchant of Death, who is now running for office.

On social media, Mr. Startsev made no secret of his staunch support for Mr. Navalny, who survived what is widely considered an attempt by government agents to kill him with poison, and has since been jailed in a Russian penal colony on various charges that have extended his sentence to at least 19 years.

In his last writing on VKontakte, the Russian equivalent of Facebook, Mr. Startsev lauded Mr. Navalnys aims, and supported his vision of a free, happy and uncorrupt future for Russia, he wrote, with virtuous politicians being a key to this.

He had also posted a picture of himself on VKontakte, holding up a poster of what appears to be an opposition rally in May 2018. The dense, hand-lettered poster called for fighting corruption, poverty and inequality; restoring free elections; giving the opposition access to the media; releasing political prisoners; ending government control of the internet; and allowing the freedom of assembly.

In his 2019 interview, Mr. Startsev said he had used his time in the United States to improve his credentials in order to get a better job back in Russia. Asked about life in the United States, he said, The food there has a different taste; the air is cleaner; the roads are better.

He had learned a lot, Mr. Startsev said, but he wanted to apply it in Russia: I want to help Russia become a great and beautiful country.

In the other case, the Russian authorities are accusing the man of trying to take his son to live outside Russia without obtaining consent from the childs mother, the office of the Investigative Committee in Kaliningrad said in the statement released on its Telegram channel. A criminal investigation has been started but no charges filed yet pending the man being questioned further, the statement said.

After arriving in Russia on July 27, the American met his son, who is a Russian citizen, the committee said. The boy lived in Kaliningrad, which borders the Baltic Sea and is Russias farthest point west. Under the pretext of spending time together, the man drove the boy in a car to a town near the Polish border and was detained while trying to cross it by walking through a swampy, wooded area, the statement said.

At the time of the incident, a court in Kaliningrad had been weighing where the boy should live, the statement said.

Milana Mazaeva contributed reporting.
