On the other hand, the smart watches segment is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. The same segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 20.4% from 2023 to 2032. Payment wristbands are increasingly integrated into loyalty and rewards programs. Users can collect points, discounts, and special offers by using payment bracelets for transactions. This integration increases customer loyalty and encourages the repeated use of payment wristbands. In addition, the increase in the adoption of AI-based smartwatches in the healthcare sector for monitoring patients’ health and diagnosing various health issues is expected to provide a lucrative opportunity for the market.
The quick response (QR) codes segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period-
Based on technology, the near field communication (NFC) segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for nearly half of the global banking wearable market revenue, as biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint recognition and facial recognition can be integrated into NFC-enabled wearables to provide an additional layer of security. Furthermore, the shift towards mobile banking and digital transformation initiatives by banks and financial institutions further fuels the growth of NFC-enabled banking wearables. The quick response (QR) codes segment, however, is expected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period. The same segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 20.2% from 2023 to 2032. This is due to the integration between QR code technology and wearable devices, which is a critical growth indicator. As banking wearables, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, incorporate built-in QR code scanners or seamless QR code scanning capabilities, it expands the use cases and convenience for users, further driving the adoption of QR codes in the banking wearable market.

Bybit Crypto Insights: Timing ETH’s Bull Run

DUBAI, UAE, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has recently released a weekly crypto derivatives analytics report in collaboration with Block Scholes, followed by an exclusive insights report with the spotlight on ETH’ great comeback.
With investors flocking to ETH following the Pectra upgrade, the research shed light on what every trader is asking: will the ETH rally last? Leading the race since May 7, ETH has been a tour de force with wild gains dwarfing that of BTC’s.
Key Highlights:
- It wasn’t just Pectra: The new insights report by Bybit, published on Tuesday, attributed ETH’s “landmark surge” to drivers beyond the Pectra upgrade. A deep dive into underlying factors that built momentum for ETH’s breakout moment. Macroeconomic developments including signs of relief in the tariffs debacles created conditions for the broader markets to recover, while over $500 million in ETH short liquidations had an immediate and positive effect on its price performance.
The report also mapped out a change in leadership direction and Vitalik Buterin’s new vision for Ethereum, which include a package of reforms to streamline processes and boost efficiency and flexibility. With transition plans for existing projects, the leadership set out to build a more durable and scalable Ethereum blockchain with up to 100x throughput.
- ETH Outperformed BTC: In last week’s Bybit and Block Scholes report, ETH’s new high of single-day gain since 2021 outshone the top rest of the top ten cryptocurrencies. With the spike in implied volatility for short term tenors and ETH’s inverted term structure, crypto’s No. 2 currency won over derivatives traders placed $60 million more in calls than puts for ETH on May 8, 2025, in contrast to BTC’s muted structure.
ETH stood out in the rally across almost all indicators, radiating positivity from funding rates to the close to 10% put/call skew towards calls in the first week of May, a world apart from its 20% skew on the puts side only a month ago.

Midnight Foundation Launches to Support Growth of Secure and Decentralized Blockchain Network

Led by former Input | Output (IO) and Parity Technologies executive Fahmi Syed, the Midnight Foundation will support the growth of Midnight’s rational privacy ecosystem and guide its transition to full decentralization.
TORONTO, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Consensus 2025 — Today marks the official launch of the Midnight Foundation, an organization committed to supporting the growth of the Midnight blockchain ecosystem. Midnight is a platform enabling decentralized applications that deliver rational privacy – programmable data protection with selective disclosure. The Foundation’s core mission is to foster a thriving developer community, expand access to Midnight’s privacy-first technology, and guide the network’s evolution toward full decentralization.
Through a wide range of initiatives—including open-source tooling, education, and targeted funding—the Foundation will support builders developing real-world use cases using Midnight. Crucially, the Foundation will also play a leading role in Midnight’s path to autonomous governance. As the network matures, control over protocol upgrades, treasury allocation, and ecosystem development will transition to NIGHT token holders through on-chain voting. The Foundation will ensure this transition is secure, transparent, and community-driven.
These efforts will be key to empowering the Foundation to redefine what Web3 infrastructure can become: private, compliant, decentralized—and ready for real-world adoption.
The Midnight Foundation will be led by Fahmi Syed who has been appointed as President. A recognized leader in decentralized governance and digital innovation, Syed brings over two decades of experience in financial strategy, operational leadership, and decentralized technology to the role. Most recently, he supported the development of the Midnight project at IO. Prior to that, he was CFO at Parity Technologies, the team behind Polkadot and Kusama, where he led financial operations during a period of rapid ecosystem expansion.
Earlier in his career, Syed was Chief Operating Officer at FIFTHDELTA, Europe’s largest hedge fund launch of 2021. He also held senior leadership roles at Marshall Wace, where he contributed to the firm’s global growth to $45 billion in assets under management.
The core development of the Midnight network itself was led by Shielded Technologies, an engineering spinout from IO, the creators of innovations such as Cardano.
Shielded Technologies was founded to pioneer privacy-first, regulation-ready decentralized technologies, and continues to play an integral role in supporting Midnight’s technical innovation and ecosystem growth.
Commenting on his appointment, Syed said: “The Midnight Foundation has an extraordinary opportunity to shape the future of decentralized technology in a way that truly protects users’ rights and privacy. I’m honored to lead this mission at such a critical time. Working alongside Shielded Technologies and its visionary CEO, Eran Barak, we are committed to building a thriving, global ecosystem that brings Midnight’s transformative technology to life for developers, businesses, and communities everywhere.”
A new kind of blockchain network, Midnight is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional blockchains that expose all transaction data by default. It uses zero-knowledge cryptography and a cooperative tokenomics design to enable truly private, censorship-resistant, and regulation-ready applications.
Its public utility token, NIGHT, enables governance and rewards, while its shielded resource, DUST, powers transactions without exposing metadata or wallet details. Unlike typical blockchain fee models, DUST is renewable, non-transferable, and decays over time – a radical new model that makes the network sustainable, privacy-protecting, and secure from economic exploitation.
Moving forward, the Midnight Foundation will look to build a wide ecosystem of partners, builders and token holders, working together to realize the potential of the Midnight blockchain network. We invite you to join us on this journey.
