Ripple has recently aligned with Swirlds Labs and the Algorand Foundation as a principal contributor to the DeRec Alliance.

Dr. Leemon Baird, the co-founder of Hedera, elaborated on the Alliance's origins and aspirations. "The DeRec Alliance was conceived as an open-source endeavor aimed at cultivating a methodology and establishing an industry benchmark for a user-friendly, secure, and decentralized asset recovery applicable across all digital wallets," he remarked.

Grayscale Bitcoin ETF Registers Sustained Inflows Amidst Market Fluctuations

Image
Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), heralded as the world's largest spot Bitcoin ETF, reported its second consecutive day of net inflows on May 6, a noteworthy recovery from the substantial outflows that surpassed $17.5 billion since January's inception of similar financial products. According to data from Farside Investors, GBTC witnessed inflows amounting to $3.9 million, a modest sum compared to other industry players like the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), yet significant enough to contribute to the continued influx of capital into the spot Bitcoin ETF sector. This resurgence in investor interest aligns with a broader reversal for GBTC, which recorded its first net inflow in over three months on May 3, following a troubling period of continuous capital withdrawals. These outflows, which had resulted in a 33% reduction Read more about Grayscale Bitcoin ETF Registers Sustained Inflows Amidst Market Fluctuations #BitcoinETF, #Cryptocurrency, #Cryptomarket, #Crypto...

Bitfinex CTO Refutes Data Breach Claims, Confirms User Security Intact

Image
Bitfinex's Chief Technology Officer, Paolo Ardoino, has formally dismissed allegations of a data breach at the cryptocurrency exchange, asserting the security of user data remains uncompromised. Over the past weekend, Ardoino conducted a detailed internal review in response to claims of a severe data breach, which he has now confirmed were baseless. The controversy began last Saturday when a report by Alice of Shinoji Research suggested that Bitfinex had fallen victim to a data breach orchestrated by a hacking group known as FSociety. The claim, which was swiftly retracted, alleged that approximately 2.5 terabytes of data, including the personal details of some 400,000 users, had been stolen during an attack dated April 26. However, this tweet was later removed. In clarifying the situation, Ardoino explained that the supposed Read more about Bitfinex CTO Refutes Data Breach Claims, Confirms User Security Intact #Bitfinex, #Blockchain, #Cryptocurrency, #Cryptomarket, #Cryptonewstoda...
