📈 Binance Coin BNB jumps a rank ahead and hops over NEM
Binance Coin BNB has been the only token in the top 20 to maintain the green consistent growth in its hourly, daily and weekly price change. BitcoinBTC, Ethereum ETH and Ripple XRP the top three coins of the market are currently facing a low, it has seen a fall of 4.71%, 6.38% and 10.55% in the past week respectively at press time.
While the top coins are falling, BNB earlier ranked at #16 on CoinMarketCap and is now at #15 with this hike! BNB was in the news last week and Ethereum Classic ETC is the only token along with BNB to see a positive spike on the board. On 12th Binance added BNB and ETC trading pairs, for ETC/BNB and ETC/USDT trading pairs.
As observed, BNB and ETC had a mutual benefit through this listing. The coins were running red due to the pressure of the bearish market. The announcement of the trading pairs immediately changed the trend to a positive green.
Recently, NEXO, a Financial Technology group powered by Credissimo, announced that Binance Coin will be accepted as a collateral for the cryptocurrency backed up loans. A Quantitative data analyst, Ken Xuan of Fundstrat tweeted the launch of Fundstrat Weekly, also known as Benchmark Crypto Performance. In his tweet, Xuan posted 3 charts showing analysis of sector/size, relative performance, and correlations through indices and graphs. In the top stood BNB, Binance’s native cryptocurrency!

CRYPTOCARZ IS THE WORLD'S FIRST BLOCKCHAIN-ENABLED VR RACING EXPERIENCE
CRYPTOCARZ IS A MULTIPLAYER, VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)-ENABLED RACING EXPERIENCE, DEVELOPED USING THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN.
To play, users will have to load the car assets into the game from an Ethereum wallet, where they are stored as an ERC721 token. The ERC721 token has paved the way for a new class of digital assets called non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These allow users to own, customise and maintain control in the
same way as in the physical world.
Blockchain Studios contends that this new asset class opens up new opportunities for user engagement and ownership. We believe that the first wave of innovation will come from gaming. CryptoCarz is the first platform to bring together blockchain, VR and gaming technologies. By giving gamers new options to visualise, own, adapt and race their own car, we think a new era in gaming has arrived.
WE BELIEVE GAMING IT WILL BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RISE – AND INTEGRATION – OF THREE TECHNOLOGIES: BLOCKCHAIN, E-SPORTS AND VR.
Each of them, independently, represents a paradigm shift for game development and consumption. Their attributes will make technology more individual, inclusive and immersive. The combination of these technologies will give rise to new scenarios, where gamers can own, modify, trade and play in an unprecedented way
THE CONCEPT
Cars, gaming and cryptocurrency are shared passions at Blockchain Studios, so combining them was a natural choice when we started working on CryptoCarz. We see strong synergies between the cryptocurrency community and gamers and we believe there is a market for a game that blends racing, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. CryptoCarz is a multiplayer, fully immersive, VR-enabled racing experience, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. To race in the game, a user will have to demonstrate ownership of a car that is modelled and stored as an ERC721 Ethereum token in the gamer’s private wallet. The car will then be loaded into the game via integration with MetaMask and other proprietary tools
The game will initially offer 20 car models representative of the top cryptocurrencies. Each model will have a maximum of 650 units, hard-coded and numerically defined in the smart contract.No further cars in these models will be produced in the future.

The data economy is broken. Large corporations hoard data for their own means, while small companies are left to pick from a collection of fragmented sources. This stalls innovation in frontier industries like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
At the same time, Data Vendors and Producers have little incentive to continue producing the authentic data these small companies need. This isn’t a sustainable model for the “new oil.”
Quadrant changes all that by providing a blueprint for mapping these decentralized data sources. Authenticity, provenance, compliancy, and fair compensation all rolled into a single protocol.
With Quadrant, everybody wins. Data Producers get compensated fairly every time their data is used, not just the first time it is sold. Data Vendors can prove ownership of their data products and earn status as a trusted supplier. Data Consumers get access to authentic and compliant data that they can use to power their data-driven businesses.
But where Quadrant really shines is the opportunity it provides the Elons of the world to solve global problems. Elons are the game-changers, the innovators that will find connections between diverse datasets that bring about fundamental changes in the way we live.
Quadrant is the future of authentic data. Get in on this revolutionary project while you can.
Quadrant is a blockchain-based protocol that enables the access, creation, and distribution of data products and services with authenticity and provenance at its core.

🐋 World’s Smallest States Attracting Biggest Players in Blockchain
Blockchain technology, which is the backbone to everything crypto and the key to decentralization, has the potential to be implemented in almost every existing industry to enhance security, information sharing, and transparency. Innovators in the tech sector predict its effects will be as far reaching as the development of the internet itself, yet the countries that would seem the obvious choices to embrace and develop the technology, US, UK, Japan, Korea are hindering its progress with regulatory red tape leaving some of the world’s smallest, autonomous regions open to welcome cutting-edge tech companies.
City-states with small populations and limited industries see tech companies with major financial backing as a path to future economic growth. While the tech companies get the kind of access to legislators and regulators that would be impossible to reach in countries like the US or Japan.
For instance, the tiny, mountainous micro-state of San Marino has gone into business with Estonian backed Polybius to create a ground-up ecosystem for blockchain innovation. In exchange for the company’s financial investment, the government has given them complete support. Sergio Mottola, executive chairman of San Marino Innovation, was quoted in the BanklessTimes saying,
“The Government of the Republic is willing to take the lead on this transformation and is superbly placed to promote digital innovation through the constitution of a forward-looking legislation and jurisdiction to favor the growing blockchain infrastructure.”
Gibraltar, which already has links to two industries expected to be substantially affected by blockchain, financial services, and online gaming, is well suited for fintech companies to move in. The country is already home to multiple financial institutions familiar with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) requirements that are becoming de rigor in the cryptocurrency space.

⤴ TrueUSD (TUSD) Supply Grows, TrustToken Project Attracts Key Round of Financing
TUSD is actively exchanged for Tether (USDT), allowing for an easier on-ramp to crypto trading. TrueUSD (TUSD), the fixed-price digital asset, has grown significantly - from just around 4 million tokens to the current climb to above 62 million tokens issued. Trust Token, the company behind TUSD, comes up with monthly accounts of the presence of the exact funds available.
The spike in supply from 43 million to 62 million tokens happened quickly. TUSD transactions are sometimes bundled, so it is unknown how the tokens are issued. Currently, all TUSD tokens are held in around 402 wallets, but they are quickly sent to exchanges. Etherscan reveals transactions of round numbers of tokens, from 300,000 to 750,000, increasing the supply quickly. The behavior of the TUSD wallet shows that tokens are being created, with the possibility of TrustToken having contacted large institutional investors. While TUSD shows organic growth with small transactions, those round-number, fast gains in supply are starting to recall the behavior of Tether (USDT), which minted its supply fast.
TrustToken Draws In Strategic Financing
For TUSD, the increase in supply coincides with the completion of a strategic partnership, drawing in $20 million from various institutional investors. The investors include Andreessen Horowitz, BlockTower Capital, Danhua Capital, GGV Capital, and others. The funds would go toward developing the tokenization of assets, starting with the TrueUSD project. It is uncertain if any of the funds went directly into TUSD purchases. However, the project is set to grow, and may become one of the influential sources of liquidity in the crypto market.

💥 What’s New With Lisk
Last we checked on Lisk they’d just launched a new version of Lisk Hub interface. Since then, it’s been full steam ahead and quite a bit more ground has been covered.
The month of May saw numerous developments and notable pieces of news. As we move toward the end of June, it’s time to recap and bring you up to speed on all the most relevant Lisk news.
🔧 Development Update
On May 24, Lisk celebrated the 2-year anniversary of its mainnet, quite old in crypto-relative terms. The team also made sure to highlight the fact that over 200,000 wallets had been created in the last month, no small achievement. 2 years into existence, and the Lisk Github remains as busy as ever.
On the development front, what interests most people is how things are going in the engine room, i.e. what progress is being made on Lisk core. As of June 15, Lisk core 1.0 is in beta testing and the team released this full status update. Here’s the thumbnail of it – recent QA efforts resolved a large number of issues, and the final round of beta testing shouldn’t take much more than a week to complete, thus paving the way for a testnet announcement.
EO Max Kordek also recently announced some organizational reshuffling that could have real implications for future development. The upshot of it is that Max and co-founder Oliver Beddows are redividing their responsibilities to manage only the part(s) of the project where their expertise will be most useful (interfaces and engineering respectively). The same post also mentioned that a mobile version of the Lisk app is in the works and a team is being assembled to tackle that.
Recent weeks also brought the news that Lisk was ranked third in a global public-owned chain technology assessment index by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CCID). This was the first assessment of its kind in China, and if you’re curious about the methodology involved in this rating process, check out this post. Rounding out the development news was the release of Lisk Explorer 1.6.1, which included user interface fixes and minor functional improvements.
📊 Marketing Update
Since the relaunch (rebrand if you like) in February, Lisk has been continuing to build their brand behind consistent and professional marketing efforts. Lisk now has around 15 full-time marketing, community management and creative staff (with more open positions), and it shows. May saw the Lisk foundation web page launched. The slick, new page allows anyone to view its mission statement, spending forecast, and financials, and generally learn about the foundation. The Lisk website itself also now boasts a press and media page (and a downloadable kit), a professional and proactive step.
Lisk has also been extremely active in terms of recent conference attendance and participation. The last few months saw them with a presence at Chainges, Consensus, JSconf, WeAreDevs, and the Blockshow. More conference appearances and meetups are on the books, including Tech Open Air (which Lisk is sponsoring). Getting to a lot of events is a solid strategy for recruiting new talent and, of course, continuing to promote Lisk. To check the full schedule of upcoming events 👉 click here.
👬 Community Update
By all accounts, the Lisk community remains healthy despite some of the travails of the last 6 months. Lisk’s Reddit has close to 30,000 members and the LiskHQ Telegram channel is pushing 5k subscribers. Management seems to listen to legitimate feedback and are pushing a variety of initiatives and giveaways that recognize the value of the Lisk community. The continued frequency (and popularity) of Lisk meetups is another positive indicator on the community side of things. In May, Bloqspace conducted the very first Lisk workshop in San Antonio.

The month of May saw numerous developments and notable pieces of news. As we move toward the end of June, it’s time to recap and bring you up to speed on all the most relevant Lisk news.
🔧 Development Update
On May 24, Lisk celebrated the 2-year anniversary of its mainnet, quite old in crypto-relative terms. The team also made sure to highlight the fact that over 200,000 wallets had been created in the last month, no small achievement. 2 years into existence, and the Lisk Github remains as busy as ever.
On the development front, what interests most people is how things are going in the engine room, i.e. what progress is being made on Lisk core. As of June 15, Lisk core 1.0 is in beta testing and the team released this full status update. Here’s the thumbnail of it – recent QA efforts resolved a large number of issues, and the final round of beta testing shouldn’t take much more than a week to complete, thus paving the way for a testnet announcement.
EO Max Kordek also recently announced some organizational reshuffling that could have real implications for future development. The upshot of it is that Max and co-founder Oliver Beddows are redividing their responsibilities to manage only the part(s) of the project where their expertise will be most useful (interfaces and engineering respectively). The same post also mentioned that a mobile version of the Lisk app is in the works and a team is being assembled to tackle that.
Recent weeks also brought the news that Lisk was ranked third in a global public-owned chain technology assessment index by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CCID). This was the first assessment of its kind in China, and if you’re curious about the methodology involved in this rating process, check out this post. Rounding out the development news was the release of Lisk Explorer 1.6.1, which included user interface fixes and minor functional improvements.
📊 Marketing Update
Since the relaunch (rebrand if you like) in February, Lisk has been continuing to build their brand behind consistent and professional marketing efforts. Lisk now has around 15 full-time marketing, community management and creative staff (with more open positions), and it shows. May saw the Lisk foundation web page launched. The slick, new page allows anyone to view its mission statement, spending forecast, and financials, and generally learn about the foundation. The Lisk website itself also now boasts a press and media page (and a downloadable kit), a professional and proactive step.
Lisk has also been extremely active in terms of recent conference attendance and participation. The last few months saw them with a presence at Chainges, Consensus, JSconf, WeAreDevs, and the Blockshow. More conference appearances and meetups are on the books, including Tech Open Air (which Lisk is sponsoring). Getting to a lot of events is a solid strategy for recruiting new talent and, of course, continuing to promote Lisk. To check the full schedule of upcoming events 👉 click here.
👬 Community Update
By all accounts, the Lisk community remains healthy despite some of the travails of the last 6 months. Lisk’s Reddit has close to 30,000 members and the LiskHQ Telegram channel is pushing 5k subscribers. Management seems to listen to legitimate feedback and are pushing a variety of initiatives and giveaways that recognize the value of the Lisk community. The continued frequency (and popularity) of Lisk meetups is another positive indicator on the community side of things. In May, Bloqspace conducted the very first Lisk workshop in San Antonio.
