Латиноамериканский гигант электронной коммерции Mercado Libre запускает стейблкоин, привязанный к доллару США

cryptonews.ruPublicado em 2021-04-21Última atualização em 2024-08-21

Mercado Pago, цифровое банковское подразделение крупнейшей в Латинской Америке компании Mercado Libre (MELI), заявило в среду о запуске в Бразилии стейблкоина, привязанного к доллару США.

Компания заявила, что пользователи Mercado Pago в Бразилии смогут покупать и продавать стейблкоин Meli Dollar, используя остатки на счетах в бразильских реалах, без уплаты каких-либо комиссий. Продукт, как заявила фирма, «нацелен на предоставление практичного и стабильного варианта для финансового управления».

В августе 2022 года Mercado Libre запустила свою Криптовалюта Mercado Coin , чтобы позволить пользователям совершать покупки на торговой площадке и получать кэшбэк. До этого Mercado Libre интегрировала блокчейн-инфраструктуру Paxos с Mercado Pago чтобы позволить пользователям в Бразилии покупать, продавать и хранить Bitcoin, эфиры и стейблкоины Paxos, Pax Dollar (USDP).

Ripio, латиноамериканская Криптo , будет выступать в качестве маркет- Maker для транзакций, совершаемых на Mercado Pago, заявила компания. Ripio, которая управляет торговой платформой и кошельком в регионе, среди прочих услуг, сотрудничала с Mercado Pago для разработки Mercado Coin.

Этот шаг Mercado Libre предпринят примерно через ONE после того, как американская компания PayPal (PYPL) вывела на рынок свой долларовый стейблкоин PYUSD, рыночная капитализация которого за последние дни приблизилась к отметке в 1 миллиард долларов.

Company Bitfarms, successor to Bitfarms, suspends all its mining operations in the US, as $141 million loss is directed to fund AI development

Bitcoin mining company Keel Infrastructure, formerly known as Bitfarms, has shut down all its U.S. mining sites and sold 1,085 BTC for $75 million. The company, which rebranded after acquiring Bitfarms in April, is repurposing these sites into data centers for artificial intelligence. In its Q2 report, Keel posted a $141 million operating loss, partly due to depreciation. Revenue from continuing operations was $30 million, half of the previous year's figure, attributed to lower Bitcoin prices and the shutdown of a major mining site. Despite the loss, the company holds $819 million in liquidity, boosted by a recent convertible note offering. This shift is part of a broader industry trend where public miners are pivoting assets toward AI and high-performance computing deals.

Korean Financial Supervisory Service to Revise Compensation System for Phishing Losses Involving Crypto Transfer

The South Korean Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is overhauling its system for reimbursing victims of voice phishing scams. Starting in October, the new system will be able to calculate and compensate losses held in cryptocurrency, not just in Korean won. Previously, the reimbursement system assumed stolen funds were in won, failing to fully compensate victims whose money was converted into digital assets. The upgraded software will apply a recovery ratio to determine the specific type and quantity of tokens owed to each victim, based on the token's value at the time the payment was frozen. It will also better track cases where fraud proceeds are split across multiple accounts and later consolidated. These changes follow March 31st amendments to the Act on Reimbursement of Losses from Telecommunications Fraud, which now classify virtual assets as both damaged and recoverable property. Major Korean crypto exchanges like Upbit and Bithumb must now comply with the same anti-phishing obligations as banks, including verifying transaction purposes and tracking suspicious funds. The revised law takes effect October 1st, with the FSS allocating a three-month period and a budget of 118.53 million won for system implementation and troubleshooting. The update addresses schemes where stolen money is intentionally laundered through cryptocurrency for overseas transfer. Notably, telecom fraud losses in South Korea rose 14.1% to 433.8 billion won in 2025, a five-year high.

Judge Halts CFTC Case Against U.S. Soldier Over Prediction Market Bets

A federal judge has suspended a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) civil case pending the completion of a related criminal case against a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier. The soldier is accused of using nonpublic information to profit over $400,000 on a Polymarket prediction market contract tied to the potential ousting of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Judge Andrew Carter of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted a prosecution motion to stay the CFTC's case until the criminal proceedings conclude. The charges stem from the soldier's alleged involvement in a January operation aimed at removing Maduro, after which he reportedly used the insider knowledge for trading. Both the criminal and civil cases, filed in April, could set significant precedents for officials using prediction markets. The soldier has moved to dismiss the criminal indictment, arguing the CFTC's classification of event contracts as "swaps" was ambiguous. He has pleaded not guilty. A criminal trial is tentatively scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027.

Legendary Bloomberg Analyst Mike McGlone Makes New Comments on Bitcoin! 'We Are in a Bear Market'

Legendary Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone has made new comments on Bitcoin, stating "We are in a bear market." This comes as the Bitcoin market enters a new phase following a sharp rise in institutional interest in spot ETFs. Recent data shows a massive $853 million inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs in a short period. In a recent broadcast, industry experts Dave Weisberger, David Duong, and Mike McGlone discussed this market dynamic. David Duong, Director of Research at CoinShares, argued that the ETF inflows confirm institutional confidence and long-term interest in crypto. He noted that with lowered rate hike expectations, investors are turning to risk assets like Bitcoin, creating significant upward price pressure. Dave Weisberger, CEO of CoinRoute, highlighted the impact of ETF inflows on exchange activity and liquidity. He stated that declining OTC supply forces ETF issuers to buy directly on the market, technically supporting a strong breakout. However, Mike McGlone, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodity Strategist, focused on broader macroeconomic risks. While acknowledging the short-term bullish momentum from ETFs, McGlone warned not to ignore global liquidity conditions and volatility in traditional markets. He assessed that although Bitcoin has signaled a technical breakout, a sustained rally depends on the overall macroeconomic balance and Fed actions, maintaining that BTC is currently in a bear market.

People's Bank of China Promises Steady Growth of Digital Yuan in Its 2026-2030 Plan

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has outlined plans for the "steady development" of the digital yuan (e-CNY) in its reform blueprint for the 2026-2030 period. The plan, which covers monetary policy, supervision, and financial openness, places e-CNY as a core task within the central bank's financial infrastructure goals. These include improving payment systems, aiding the credit industry, and strengthening anti-money laundering rules. Internationally, the PBOC aims to boost the yuan's use in trade and investment, develop cross-border payment networks, and expand offshore yuan markets, while enhancing Shanghai and Hong Kong's financial roles. Development began with research in 2014, leading to a formal launch in April 2022 and pilot programs in various cities. Recent domestic measures include allowing commercial banks to pay interest on e-CNY balances. Cross-border adoption is advancing. Pilot programs in Guangdong plan wider trials. Landmark transactions include a Singapore cross-border payment via the CBETS platform and the multi-central bank mBridge platform, which has expanded to Macao and facilitated large-scale transfers, including a record HKD 10 billion transaction. Corporate use of mBridge saw significant growth in the first half of the year.
