USDC Flips Tether on the Ethereum Network

The total supply for USDC on Ethereum has surpassed that of Tether, putting USDT in second place on Ethereum for the first time.　　Circles USD Coin (USDC) has reached a major milestone by surpassing Tether (USDT) in total supply on the Ethereum network.　　USDC‘s current supply on Ethereum as of writing is 40.06 billion tokens, just ahead of USDT’s supply of 39.82 billion.　　Tether has been the most popular stablecoin since at least 2016, after originally sharing the market with BitUSD and NuBits (USNBT) stablecoins when it launched in late 2014. At that time, USDT ran on Omni. As the latter two fell into obscurity due to losing their dollar peg and shedding users, USDC emerged in 2018 as a more transparent and more regulated competitor to Tether, which has been under a cloud for years due to doubts over its backing.　　Although USDT is still the most popular stablecoin with a total supply of 78.5 billion, nearly 50% of the supply or 38.7 billion tokens, is on the Tron network. USDT can also be found on BSC, Solana, Huobi ECO Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, and 13 other chains or layer 2 solutions.　　The current total supply for USDC is 45.7 tokens across 21 chains or

All in on Solana: Is Mike Tyson Trying To Pump The Poject

American former professional boxer Michael Gerard Tyson has recently stormed into the crypto-verse. He had recently stated that he was,　　“All in on Solana”　　On 16 January, when he took to Twitter to discuss SOLs price, many of his followers responded, not so pleased with his endorsement. While some thought that he is trying to “pump” the project, others thought SOL is way too “overpriced.”　　Notably, at the time of writing, SOL was trading at $150.5 with over 5% in weekly gains. This came after a 15-week low seen on 10 January. But, it is worth noting that Solana entered the Top five cryptocurrencies by market cap only in the last quarter of 2021.　　After all, it was one of the few tokens to clock gains of over 10,000% in their price along with names like Fantom, Terra, and Polygon, as per CoinGecko.　　Having said that, Bank of America analyst Alkesh Shah also recently noted that Solana could take away Ethereums market share.　　In the note, Shah cited Solana Foundation member Lily Liu and stated,　　“[Solana] produces a blockchain optimized for consumer use cases by prioritizing scalability, low transaction fees, and ease of use.”　　Further reiterating that Solana could become the Visa of the digital asset ecosystem, due

What is the Ethereum Virtual Machine?

One of the most important pieces of the Ethereum Ecosystem lays the groundwork for a myriad of blockchain developments.　　What is the Ethereum Virtual Machine　　The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is responsible for powering most of the blockchains that exist. The EVM is a complex phenomenon that is likely what most of us think of as Ethereum itself. It is considered to be the part of Ethereum that executes smart contract deployment.　　The EVM is at the center of the smart contract revolution and is a key reason why the EVM processes billions of dollars daily. The EVM can be thought of as its own environment, a place where smart contracts and blockchain addresses exist and manifest.　　At its most simple, the EVM is a decentralized CPU; the EVM is the function of the current state of Ethereum. The current state of the Ethereum Virtual Machine is the collection of the blockchain processes linked and coded into the mainnet. 　　The EVM gives a readout––a snapshot––of the current state. The state of the machine is in constant evolution, changing with each and every new smart contract execution. At any one point, a snapshot could be made to view and ‘define’ what the Ethereum canonical state

Walmart Inc. is preparing to create its own cryptocurrency and collection of non-fungible tokens, filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show, setting the stage for meeting its customers in the emerging metaverse.　　The retailer sought several new trademarks in December that show it intends to make and sell virtual goods such as electronics, decor, toys, sporting goods and personal-care products.　　The applications, which were first reported by CNBC, represent a significant step for the retail giant as it studies how to participate in the metaverse, a virtual world that blends aspects of digital technologies.

Tether Freezes Over $150M+ Worth Of USDT Stablecoin

Tether has been one of the biggest question marks in crypto in recent years, and that hasn‘t changed as adoption has grown. Decentralization has been a hot topic, and while the word itself isn’t mentioned once throughout Satoshi Nakamotos Bitcoin whitepaper, it is a core identity that has been latched on to bitcoin, and crypto in general, since near inception.　　Of course, decentralization is the core component of just one of many question marks around Tether. However, this week the spotlight is on just that, as Tether announced that roughly $160M worth of stablecoin USDT would be frozen. Lets look at what we know.　　Tether Faces Scrutiny Around Decentralization　　Three Ethereum-based USDT addresses, holding north of $150M, were frozen this week, according to Tether officials, as the blockchain cited the move due to “a request from law enforcement.” The blockchain has now blacklisted over 560 addresses since November 2017. It was the first blacklisting maneuver from Tether in 2022.　　Tether representatives have previously stated that “through the freezing of addresses, Tether has been able to help recover funds stolen by hackers or are compromised,” leading to heated debates in the crypto community – one that has largely embraced decentralization – over what degree of

It initially targeted banks and the SWIFT payment network, beginning with an attack on Bangladeshs Central Bank in 2016.　　But now, BlueNoroff has “shifted [its] focus…to solely cryptocurrency businesses” rather than traditional banks, Kaspersky says.　　According to the report, the hacking group has historically begun each attack by “stalking and studying successful cryptocurrency startups” through prolonged phishing campaigns involving emails and internal chats.　　BlueNoroff has impersonated several existing cryptocurrency businesses including Cardanos commercial arm, Emurgo, and the New York VC firm Digital Currency Group. It has also impersonated Beenos, Coinsquad, Decrypt Capital, and Coinbig.　　Kaspersky noted that those companies were not compromised during the attacks.　　Hackers Would Use Backdoors　　After gaining the trust of the targeted startup and the members, the
