🔴Dialogue with The Book Founder Matthew Lim: Jackson Wang and Mario Ho Join as Co-founders, How Can Web3 Break Through with the Real World? From its inception, it received investment from well-known institutions or individuals such as @yzilabs (formerly Binance Labs), Vertex China, and the founder of Pop Mart. After 4 years of technology and model refinement, NFKings launched its first project with practical application conditions, The Book. The Book's core team lineup is very impressive. In addition to Matthew Lim, who has a financial investment background in Credit Suisse Investment Bank, serving as the founder and CEO, global top artist Jackson Wang, and young entrepreneur and son of Macau "gambling king" Stanley Ho, Mario Ho, both serve as co-founders of The Book. Recently, The Boxx App has been officially launched on iOS and Android platforms. ChainCatcher was also fortunate to interview Matthew Lim. In Matthew Lim's view, the fact that NFTs and social metaverses have experienced market bubbles does not mean they have been disproven. Building a seamless business ecosystem between the online and offline worlds, and between the Web2 and Web3 worlds, is still an ultimate proposition that needs to be addressed. Why are Jackson Wang and Mario Ho betting on The Book? How do the three major modules of AI+RWA+metaverse form a closed loop?

Singapore fines several banks a total of $21.50 million over $2.2 billion money laundering scandal

Dark pools might be the next big thing in DeFi. Last week, James Wynn lost $100 million on Hyperliquid — and claims it was a coordinated liquidation hunt. His wipeout sparked calls for a fix: dark pool perpetual DEXs. Here’s why @cz_binance thinks hiding positions could change everything. 👇 ~~ Analysis by @davewardonline ~~ The Start of Dark Pools Dark pools aren’t new — they’ve been around since the 1980s. They solve a simple problem: how do you trade large blocks without moving the market? Dump 10 million shares of Apple in the open market, and prices tank before you’re halfway through. So the SEC approved Alternative Trading Systems (ATS) in 1979. These private exchanges let institutions trade anonymously — matching buyers and sellers behind closed doors. By 2017, dark pools made up ~40% of U.S. stock trading. They work like this: Hidden order books match trades privately Executed at midpoint prices Disclosed only after settlement Usually limited to institutions Why Crypto Needs Them More In crypto, radical transparency becomes a liability. In DeFi, your wallet is public, anyone can see your positions. That opens the door for: MEV — Bots front-run trades by scanning pending transactions. Copy Trading — Wallets mimic top traders and exit at their expense. Liquidation Hunting — Traders target known leverage points. Quote Fading — Liquidity disappears when large orders hit. Crypto dark pools use privacy tech like: Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) — Prove trades are valid without revealing them Multi-party computation (MPC) — Match orders without showing them to any single party Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) — Secure enclaves that hide data from MEV bots (e.g., @unichain's Rollup-Boost locks trades in encrypted mempools) This creates a system that’s private yet auditable — protecting traders while staying trustless. Dark Pools in the Wild A few projects already offer this: @renegade_fi (Arbitrum) — MPC-based dark pool with peer-to-peer trades at midpoint prices. No slippage. No front-running. @silhouette_ex (Hyperliquid) — Adds hidden trade matching to Hyperliquid. Still in development, but no special wallet needed. @penumbrazone (Cosmos) — Uses ZKPs to hide everything — balances, trades, even governance. Trades via batch auctions to block front-running. @SFox — U.S.-based FinCEN-registered dark pool, connecting 30+ exchanges for institutions to trade large volumes discreetly. Why Aren’t There More? Dark pools aren’t easy to build. The key challenge: achieving privacy and verifiability. It’s not enough to hide data — you also need to prove trades are fair. Then there’s the trust paradox: privacy can breed suspicion. How do you know the prices are fair if you can’t see the trades? Dark pools risk creating a two-tier market where institutions get better fills than retail. Even in TradFi, they’ve caused controversy: Barclays paid $70 million for misleading dark pool users, with others like Credit Suisse hit too. Finally, regulation. Derivatives, privacy tech, and cross-border trading combine into a legal maze — especially for onchain perpetuals. The Takeaway The Wynn incident — real or not — showed a core tension: transparency builds trust, but it can be weaponized. Dark pools offer a fix, but it’s a tightrope walk. Renegade shows it works for spot. But for perpetuals? CZ’s dark pool vision remains unbuilt. Only Silhouette is aiming for it. As institutions go onchain, the need for privacy will grow. The tech’s hard — but not impossible. And while dark pools won’t solve everything, they may be necessary.

10 years working with the ECB on the future of finance. The European Central Bank (ECB) has demonstrably misjudged the trajectory of Bitcoin, consistently underestimating its resilience and growth. Their pronouncements, such as calling Bitcoin "on a road to irrelevance" in 2022 when it was trading around $16,000, stand in stark contrast to its subsequent surge, reaching $112,000 by May 2025. This persistent skepticism, reiterated through various "greatest hits" – labeling it "unsuitable for payments or investment" in 2024 and Christine Lagarde's concerns about its volatility in 2025 – has blinded the ECB to Bitcoin's actual performance. Over the past decade, Bitcoin has yielded an astounding 26,931% return, outperforming every traditional asset class. The ECB's stance has been characterized by a significant cognitive dissonance, predicting Bitcoin's "death" at every milestone, from dismissing it as a "speculative bubble" at $20,000 to remaining silent as it surpassed $100,000. Each negative forecast has been thoroughly discredited by market realities and burgeoning adoption. While the ECB debated its legitimacy, global crypto adoption has soared, with over 500 million people now holding digital assets. Furthermore, nations have begun adopting cryptocurrencies as legal tender, and blockchain technology is revolutionizing remittances by drastically cutting costs. This rigid adherence to outdated perspectives has arguably led to Europe missing out on a significant payment revolution. The geopolitical ramifications of this misguided stance are becoming increasingly apparent. As the ECB continues to issue papers on Bitcoin's perceived flaws, other major global players are strategically embracing it. The United States has announced a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, states like Pennsylvania are proposing their own reserves, and major corporations are adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. This stark contrast highlights Europe's hesitant approach, which risks marginalizing it in the evolving digital asset landscape. It's particularly ironic that the ECB voices concerns about Bitcoin's risks while simultaneously witnessing the collapse of traditional European banks (e.g., Credit Suisse) and persistent inflation eroding purchasing power – a stark contrast to the fortunes of many Bitcoin holders. The regulatory contradiction further underscores the ECB's inconsistent position. Despite the EU's own MiCA regulation creating a legal framework for digital assets and shifts in US policy removing institutional barriers, the ECB has maintained that "regulation doesn't legitimize Bitcoin." This creates a paradox where Europe is actively shaping the regulatory environment for digital assets while its central bank appears reluctant to acknowledge the implications of its own legislative efforts. The Czech National Bank, in exploring Bitcoin reserves, exemplifies an institution that recognizes the future potential, contrasting sharply with the ECB's seemingly backward-looking approach. This consistent misjudgment represents a significant missed opportunity for Europe. However, while the ECB rightfully expresses doubts about some of Bitcoin's utility, particularly its volatility for everyday payments, it has never been fundamentally against the broader concept of blockchain itself. Indeed, the ECB is actively embracing and exploring the potential of stablecoins, recognizing their role in future payment systems and financial innovation. The institution's skepticism towards Bitcoin should not be conflated with a blanket rejection of all digital assets; rather, it highlights a selective caution that, in the case of Bitcoin, has proven to be economically short-sighted. Once the US clarifies its regulatory scheme the E.U. has to react. Will it do the right thing?

Tether CEO Straightforwardly States: Tether is More Stable Than Banks, Which is Why the Media Doesn't Broadcast It According to @paoloardoino, the Tether CEO, he gave a media interview but was disappointed that it was taken out of context. He stated that many key points were discussed in the interview, but almost all of them were cut out. I explained what Tether USDT is and how it helps over 400 million people worldwide who have been abandoned by the traditional financial system. These people live in countries with extremely high inflation, where the local currency is almost unusable, such as Turkey and Argentina. For these people, our company is not just a tool, but their "only anchor" for a stable life. 1⃣ What is Tether USDT? It is a stablecoin, the only "stable currency" that many people can access. It is very important to over 400 million people worldwide who are excluded from the mainstream financial system, especially those living in high-inflation countries such as Turkey and Argentina. 2⃣ Is Tether More Stable Than Banks? Tether is over-collateralized, meaning we hold more reserves than the USDT we issue. In contrast, traditional banks? They operate on a "fractional reserve system," where 90% of deposits have already been lent out, which led to the Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse incidents. 3⃣ Our Reserves are Transparent. We disclose our reserve situation every quarter, with independent verification by the American institution Cantor Fitzgerald. Although everyone is waiting for the audit, we are working towards that direction. Silicon Valley Bank was also audited, but what was the result? So transparency > buzzword. 4⃣ Why Did We Withdraw from Europe? Not because of the audit, but because the MiCA regulations themselves are problematic and would threaten the stability of the European banking system. In the end, we chose to protect users, those who rely on Tether for their daily lives, rather than being restricted by regulations and losing service.

At Florence Finance ($FFM), we’re changing the game! We provide full transparency on the loans we provided and offer 7,25-9,5% yield. #FFM #DeFi 💶 Meanwhile, there’s €400 billion sitting in low-yield deposit accounts in banks.

Today, @SingularityNET is proud to present the women helping shape the future! Recent research shows Web3 startups have only 13% female founders. Teams with a representation of both men and women stand at 10%. But amidst these challenges, there are beacons of hope and progress. Within the SingularityNET ecosystem, we're proud to stand as a shining example of diversity and inclusion. We believe that empowering #WomenInTech isn't just the right thing to do – it's essential for driving innovation and creating a more equitable future. "Studies indicate that diverse teams outperform homogeneous ones in innovation, productivity, and profitability. For example, Credit Suisse’s global analysis of 2,400 companies revealed that companies with at least one female board member performed better in case of return on equity and net income growth." reports @Forbes. Today, we celebrate the incredible women within our #community who are breaking barriers, leading groundbreaking projects, and shaping the future of Web3. Their contributions inspire us every day, and we're committed to fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of gender, can thrive and succeed. Happy #InternationalWomensDay !
