Bitcoin mining industry mostly uninterested in spam controversy

While many Bitcoin users have been engaged in a social media flamewar over the use of individual node-level “spam” filters for most of the year, those involved in the bitcoin (BTC) mining industry have mostly stayed in their lanes, unbothered and flourishing. The Bitcoin block size war involved a number of miners who were very willing to share their opinions on the correct way to scale the network going forward. However, that was a different time. Even with the first Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) now written for a potential soft fork related to the “spam” controversy, most individual miners and mining pools are more worried about their own business operations and focused on their specialized roles in the wider ecosystem. In the past, coordination with miners had been an integral part of the soft fork process, as the miners were intended to update first to make sure everything went smoothly. While this aspect of the soft fork updating process was politicized during...

BRICS Payment System Supports Transactions Across 185 Countries

Image
BRICS member China’s new payment system, named Cross-Border Interbank Payments System (CIPS), is taking the financial world by storm. The CIPS payment system now supports international transactions in the Chinese yuan across 185 countries. China has enabled yuan-denominated trades for liquefied natural gas at the Shanghai Oil and Gas Exchange. In addition, the Communist country has allowed the Shenzhen Qianhai Joint Trading Center to handle overseas soybean transactions in the local currency. China has already signed agreements with 40 countries, including BRICS nations, to settle payments in the new CIPS system. As of 2023, settlements reached a high of 52 trillion yuan, representing 58% of the total cross-border flow. That’s a historic milestone that even surpassed the US dollar in various measures. For context, 95% of the trade between China and Russia has been settled in local currencies for the last three years. Also Read: BRICS Expands De-Dollarization: Chinese Yuan Le...

Fed To Join Payments ‘Revolution,’ Bring Crypto In ‘From the Fringes,’ Governor Waller Says

Image
The US Federal Reserve is preparing to join the “revolution in payments” and bring crypto “from the fringes” of finance into the mainstream. That’s according to Governor Christopher Waller, who said at the Fed’s Payments Innovation Conference in Washington on Oct. 21 that the central bank will grant stablecoin issuers and fintech firms access to its payment system through proposed “skinny” master accounts. The move underscores a dramatic shift in the Fed’s approach to digital assets and decentralized finance. Waller said technologies like stablecoins, tokenized assets, and AI are “no longer on the fringes but increasingly woven into the fabric of the payment and financial systems.” “Payments innovation moves fast, and the Federal Reserve needs to keep up,” he said. “We intend to be an active part of that revolution.” Fed Intends To Be Part Of The “Technology-Driven” Revolution In Pa...
