The EDF group, through its subsidiary Exaion, becomes the first French company to participate in the Tezos ecosystem (XTZ) as an institutional validator. By officially becoming the network’s “baker”, Exaion will now participate in the operation of the Tezos blockchain.

EDF turns to Tezos (XTZ)

With its subsidiary Exaion , the Bitcoin Loophole group joins the Tezos ecosystem , and does things by halves. This startup specializing in Blockchain As a Service (BaaS) solutions turned to Tezos to offer its customers simplified and complete access to services based on this blockchain.

Particularly attached to respect for the environment, Exaion becomes a validator of the Tezos network , in particular because it provides stable nodes that consume little energy.

As a reminder, the Tezos blockchain uses a specific consensus algorithm, based on a Liquid Proof-of-Stake (LPoS) mechanism. Thus, the creation of the blocks is carried out by the “ Bakers ” (or bakers), network actors playing the same role as the miners for Bitcoin (BTC).

Each block of Tezos is created by a baker selected at random, approved by other bakers and validated by the rest of the network. To do this, bakers place their XTZs as collateral , in order to ensure that the blocks are properly validated.

If you have XTZ tokens, you can delegate them to Exaion, who will staking them for you while giving you rewards. More information on this is available in the Exaion FAQ .

Commenting on this great breakthrough for Tezos, Fatih Balyeli , CEO and co-founder of Exaion, points out:

“Our choice to use the Tezos blockchain came about naturally. Becoming a Baker on Tezos allows us to significantly limit our energy consumption and is part of our sustainable development policy while offering a quality digital offer. “

Tezos (XTZ) to conquer institutions

For Michel Mauny, president of Nomadic Labs , the arrival of Exaion within the Tezos ecosystem allows the project to get closer to institutions, and gives it a real spotlight on the French scene:

„By becoming an institutional baker, Exaion strengthens its status as a pioneer in the blockchain sector and, by planning to use this technology for certain customer and business cases, confirms the viability of the Tezos project, paving the way for a growing commitment from French institutional actors. “

The involvement of the EDF group in the Tezos project marks a major turning point for the cryptocurrency industry in France. On Twitter, journalist Grégory Raymond specifies in particular:

There is no doubt that this is a huge step forward for Tezos . The network already had Binance and Coinbase in the ranks of its validators. The inclusion of Exaion, and therefore of the EDF group, represents a major step for the project.

Tezos, partly maintained by French developers and researchers, becomes one of the first of the institutions wishing to take a step towards blockchain. Last month, Société Générale with its subsidiary Forge had notably selected Tezos to conduct experiments on a central bank digital currency (MNBC).

O autor do bitcoin, Andy Edstrom, acredita que o PayPal poderá em breve dar um mergulho mais profundo no bitcoin.

O CEO da Galaxy Digital, Mike Novogratz, concorda.

Bitcoin PayPal

A Square, empresa de pagamentos de Jack Dorsey, foi pioneira quando se trata de bitcoin. A Square não apenas permitiu pagamentos de bitcoin em seu Cash App, mas a empresa anunciou recentemente que estava comprando $ 50 milhões em BTC para seu balanço . A empresa de Dorsey deixou o rival PayPal comendo poeira quando se trata de bitcoin.

Andy Edstrom, autor de “Why Buy Bitcoin” e gerente de fortunas do WESCAP, destacou essa dinâmica no Twitter, dizendo que as ações da Square estão destruindo ações do PayPal. Ele ressaltou que a principal diferença entre as duas empresas é a decisão da Square de adotar o bitcoin.

Edstrom, que também se descreve como um “entusiasta do dinheiro duro”, observou que o pioneiro do blockchain Wences Casares, que foi nomeado para o conselho do PayPal em 2016, não está mais listado no site da empresa como membro. Se ele está fora do tabuleiro, isso pode ser revelador, de acordo com Edstrom, que apontou ,

“Padrão de fato semelhante a quando David Marcus deixou o conselho da Coinbase devido a conflito de interesses. O Facebook estava prestes a lançar uma criptografia que poderia competir com o Coinbase. Wences ainda tem o Xapo, então pode ser considerado para competir com o PayPal assim que o PayPal lançar o produto #Bitcoin. ”

Abaixo está uma comparação do desempenho das ações da Square em relação às ações do PayPal nos últimos três meses

O CEO da Galaxy Digital, Mike Novogratz, também concordou. Ele apóia a teoria e sugeriu que não apenas a mudança do PayPal para o bitcoin está chegando, mas „será a maior notícia para o BTC em 2020“ no que já foi um ciclo de notícias pesadas para as principais criptomoedas .

O PayPal não é totalmente estranho ao bitcoin. Eles já têm parcerias estabelecidas com bolsas de criptomoedas, como a Coinbase, na qual os usuários podem fazer retiradas instantâneas. Mas a Square está anos-luz à frente, uma vez que as vendas de bitcoin impulsionaram as vendas em seu Cash App trimestre após trimestre .

W Rumunii rząd ma zamiar po raz pierwszy przeprowadzić na swojej aukcji poza walutami cyfrowymi skonfiskowanymi z działalności przestępczej. Państwowa agencja odpowiedzialna za sprzedaż skonfiskowanych nieruchomości, ANABI, ujawniła 2 października br., że podczas nadchodzącej aukcji odbędzie się aukcja Bitcoin Code i eteru. Organ ten nie podał jednak konkretnych kwot BTC lub ETH, które zostaną sprzedane na aukcji.

ANABI domaga się pełnej zgodności z przepisami.

W ogłoszeniu ANABI zauważono, że cena otwarcia dla 0,97 ethereum tokenów wyniesie 401 USD, a dla 0,6 bitcoin tokenów będzie wynosić 7347 USD, zgodnie z danymi urzędu.

Ponadto, ANABI podkreśliła, że adres kryptograficzny zwycięskiego oferenta musi pochodzić z prawnie zatwierdzonej firmy zajmującej się wymianą kryptograficzną. Co więcej, wybrana giełda musi być podmiotem, który spełnia wymogi przepisów prawnych i polityki Rumunii w zakresie instrumentów finansowych. Giełda powinna wdrożyć środki znane klientowi (KYC) dla swoich posiadaczy rachunków i stosować się do wszystkich lokalnych i międzynarodowych przepisów w zakresie przeciwdziałania praniu brudnych pieniędzy.

Rumuński rząd został wcześniej wezwany do Europejskiego Trybunału Sprawiedliwości za wstrzymanie się ze szczegółowym wdrożeniem do prawa pełnego zestawu polityk określonych w piątej dyrektywie w sprawie przeciwdziałania praniu pieniędzy i finansowaniu terroryzmu. Niedawno sąd ukarał zarówno Rumunię, jak i Irlandię w związku z opóźnieniem we wdrażaniu dyrektywy. Rumunia zapłaciła do 3,5 mln dolarów grzywny, czyli o 1 mln dolarów mniej, niż chciałby tego sąd ze względu na obecną sytuację gospodarczą.

Pierwsze rumuńskie wydarzenie aukcji kryptońskiej

Rządy wszystkich państw organizowały wydarzenia aukcyjne dla skonfiskowanych walut kryptograficznych związanych z oszustwami. Jest to jednak pierwszy raz, gdy władze Rumunii organizują takie wydarzenie. Trzy lata temu australijskie organy ścigania skonfiskowały 24 518 BTC jako dochody z oszustw, które rząd australijski nakazał sprzedać na aukcji Ernst and Young. Ponadto, rząd bułgarski sprzedał na aukcji około 213.000 BTC przejętych przez organy ścigania. Rząd Stanów Zjednoczonych często przeprowadza aukcje Bitcoinów za pośrednictwem Marszałków Stanów Zjednoczonych.

„We believe that centralized brokers are like a DVD version of Netflix,“ said the entrepreneur.

The LA Blockchain Summit is being held online, where different experts from the decentralized sector have given lectures. One of them was Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, who said that DeFi will replace Centralized Finance. In addition, „CZ“ also stated that Binance is studying ways to no longer be a centralized broker in the future.

According to Decrypt, CZ’s participation in the LA Blockchain Summit showed that the entrepreneur is very positive about the future changes in the cryptomaniac market, but still understands that DeFi has a lot to evolve before it becomes the industry’s main method.

„In the long term, I think DeFi will replace CeFi (Centralized Finance)“.

For Changpeng, the concept of being able to lend, borrow, and earn at interest rates without the need for a financial institution as an intermediary is something that will eventually become popular.

Announcement

And of course, as Binance is a centralized service, that also means Binance needs to change its system in the future. But in this regard, CZ says it is happy to know that DeFi will „cannibalize“ the brokerage house in the future. He compared this future transformation to what happened with Netflix and Kodak.

„We believe that centralized brokers are like a DVD version of Netflix.

It is not our ultimate goal.

So even if we have one of the largest centralized exchanges in the world, it’s not something we want to maintain.

We are more interested in innovation“.

Note: At the beginning of its life Netflix operated with movie rentals via physical DVDs sent by post. This model worked for a few years before they evolved into a digital streaming system, ensuring the success of the company while physical rental companies went bankrupt.

Changpeng also compared the market with Kodak’s history, stating that brokers need to avoid the error of the old movie giant. Kodak invented digital cameras, but instead of adapting to this new technology, it tried to hide it and in 2012 the company, which was one of the largest in the world, declared bankruptcy.

DeFi market still needs to mature, says Binance CEO
Despite being optimistic and very receptive to the new decentralized financial market, Zhao acknowledged that DeFi needs to find a more stable path in relation to the numerous projects that are emerging.

DeFi, according to Binance’s CEO, brings a lot of power in the form of its liquidity pool, but the current model that promises surprising returns for lenders, with CTRL C – CTRL V projects emerging every day, is not something sustainable.
