OKB Leads Exchange Tokens in ROI, Announces 11 New Partnerships

Published

on

 

OKEx (www.okex.com), a world-leading cryptocurrency spot and derivatives exchange, released the latest OKB Ecosystem Monthly Report — July 2020 on Aug. 6. OKB is the global utility token issued by the OK Blockchain Foundation and powers the OKEx trading platform. Throughout July, 11 new partners joined the OKB ecosystem, providing global OKB holders with even more services — ranging from DeFi, payments and security to cryptocurrency trading bots.

In addition to the increase in OKB’s utility outside of OKEx, OKB now can be used as collateral in C2C loans on OKEx. By pledging OKB, users can borrow USDT without incurring any service fees and take advantage of the minimum interest on borrowing, which is as little as 0.01% per day — currently the lowest in the industry.

Thanks to all these major developments, OKB recorded the highest monthly ROI of all major exchange tokens in July, according to the OKB Ecosystem Monthly Report. As per a recent CoinGecko report, OKB also outperformed the top five mainstream exchange tokens in H1 2020.

OKB and OKChain

OKChain — the open-source blockchain protocol developed by OKEx — represents one of the most important application areas for OKB. The native OKT tokens in OKChain’s genesis block will be distributed to OKB holders in proportion to their OKB holdings, making them important stakeholders in the ecosystem. OKChain completed its first Hackathon on July 31, which succeeded in attracting dozens of top global developers, who demonstrated their creativity in building decentralized applications on top of OKChain.

Since the Hackathon’s launch on June 4, a total of 22 teams and individuals entered the competition, including Beijing ChainsGuard, Bitsong, DappBirds and other well-known organizations from varying fields. The contestants’ submissions included DEXs, digital asset wallets, APIs, virtual machines, blockchain browsers, blockchain insurance, staking software, developer tools, SDKs, cross-chain solutions and many other innovative applications.

Mysterious Trader Makes $150,000 Profit in 3 Hours From Just $2,956: Blockchain Analysis

mysterious-trader-makes-$150,000-profit-in-3-hours-from-just-$2,956:-blockchain-analysis

A new Ethereum meme coin, Pochita ($POCHITA), has made headlines after skyrocketing in value shortly after its launch. According to on-chain data, one trader turned an initial investment of $3,000 into $150,000 in under three hours, reflecting a near-5000% profit. This rapid surge has drawn comparisons to other meme coins like Bonk ($BONK), which gained significant attention in the Solana ecosystem.

Pochita launched on October 2, 2024, quickly reaching a $20 million market cap within 9 hours, despite the broader crypto market contracting by 2.9% over the past 24 hours. The meme coin sector also dipped 3.2%, now valued at $47.5 billion. Despite the falling prices, Pochita’s rapid rise suggests strong investor sentiment around meme coins remains, especially following recent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.

Though meme coins are known for their volatility and lack of clear fundamentals, they can provide quick gains for traders. Pochita is being discussed as a potential successor to Bonk, and if it continues its growth, it could join the ranks of other top meme coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe Coin.

At the same time, other projects such as Crypto All-Stars ($STARS) are providing new avenues for meme coin holders by offering a unified staking platform where users can stake various meme coins and earn rewards. Crypto All-Stars has already raised over $1.9 million in its presale, indicating strong interest in platforms that provide utility and passive income opportunities for meme coin enthusiasts.

Binance warns of crypto market risks from overvaluation, centralization

binance-warns-of-crypto-market-risks-from-overvaluation,-centralization

A recent Binance report highlights critical risks in the cryptocurrency market, warning of the dangers posed by inflated valuations and centralized token ownership. The report cautions that if these issues remain unaddressed, they could destabilize the long-term stability and growth of the crypto industry.

Valuation Concerns: The report emphasizes that overvaluation, particularly in newly launched tokens with low circulating supply, could lead to market bubbles and poor performance. Venture capital funds, which once aggressively invested in crypto, are now scaling back and shifting focus to sectors with more sustainable valuations. As the market becomes saturated with new tokens, the circulating supply could increase exponentially, further straining performance.

Centralization of Token Ownership: Binance also flags the risks of centralization, where large tokenholders dominate ownership. This concentration of power can result in governance issues, market manipulation, and potential crashes caused by sudden sell-offs. The report stresses the need for decentralized control and broad participation to maintain the integrity and resilience of crypto projects.

Transparency and Trust: To mitigate these risks, the report underscores the importance of transparency in fund management. A lack of clear disclosures can erode stakeholder trust and harm project sustainability. Binance notes that greater transparency, like the adoption of proof-of-reserves by platforms such as Coinbase, is crucial for fostering responsible financial management and building long-term trust in the market.

In conclusion, the report urges the crypto industry to prioritize decentralized governance and transparency to ensure sustainable growth and maintain market confidence.

COPA, Unified Patents Partner to Fight Crypto Patent Trolls

copa,-unified-patents-partner-to-fight-crypto-patent-trolls

The Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) has teamed up with Unified Patents to launch the Blockchain Zone initiative, aimed at combating “patent trolls” in the crypto industry. Patent trolls, or non-practicing entities (NPEs), are known for exploiting patent rights through litigation rather than developing new technologies. COPA and Unified Patents aim to prevent such entities from hindering blockchain innovation by making costly and baseless patent assertions.

The initiative is designed to safeguard blockchain and related technologies from these unwarranted patent claims, fostering an environment where developers and companies can innovate freely without fear of legal threats. Key figures in the partnership, such as Paul Grewal from Coinbase and Steve Lee from Spiral, emphasize that patent trolls create significant barriers to technological progress, especially in the fast-evolving crypto space.

By aligning with over 300 companies through Unified Patents, COPA’s effort strengthens its mission to protect the blockchain community and the broader crypto-economy from the disruptive impact of NPEs, ensuring that blockchain innovation remains open and accessible.
