Hana Bank taps Euroclear blockchain for $100M bond issuance: Report

South Korea‘s Hana Bank has reportedly issued a five-year, $100 million digital bond using Euroclear’s blockchain-based platform.  On Monday, Yonhap News Agency reported that the bank used Euroclear‘s Digital Financial Market Infrastructure to issue the foreign-currency bond. The report described the transaction as the first digital bond issuance in South Korea to directly use Euroclear’s blockchain infrastructure.  According to Yonhap, the bonds issuance, registration and settlement were processed on a distributed ledger network. Using the technology for bond allocation and payment settlement reportedly shortened the process from three to five business days to the same day.  The bond also connects to Euroclears existing global settlement network, allowing investors to trade it through their existing accounts and trading systems, Yonhap reported.  Cointelegraph was unable to reach Hana Bank for comment, while Euroclear had not responded to Cointelegraphs request for comment before publication.  Euroclear launched its Digital Securities Issuance service in October 2023, settling a 100 million euro ($106 million at the time) digital bond issued by the World Banks lending arm, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. That three-year bond raised funds for sustainable development and was listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.  Related: Euroclear makes first Asia investment with Marketnode stake

Is Bitcoin's Bear Market Low In? A Signal Absent for 45 Weeks Returns

Bitcoin (BTC) has appreciated roughly 30% since August, and despite a volatile September, the largest cryptocurrency has stayed in the green for the month with gains of 3.33%.  Beyond those gains, Bitcoin has also flashed a key signal, suggesting the bear market lows for this cycle may be in.  Alex Thorn Says this Bitcoin Signal Has Confirmed Past Bottoms  That signal arrived on Sunday. Bitcoin posted its first weekly close above its 50-week moving average since November 2025. No weekly close had finished above that average in the 45 weeks since.  Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy, flagged the close and pointed to what it has meant in earlier cycles.  “Regaining the 50w MA has historically served as strong confirmation that bear market lows are in,” he said.  Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens  Bitcoin Flashes a Key Signal For Bear Market Low. Source: X/Alex Thorn  Historical data provides some context for Thorns view. In a research note, the executive identified 13 instances in completed bear markets when Bitcoin crossed back above its 50-week moving average.  Only two of those instances were followed by another lower low, with both occurring during the 2021–2022 decline. More broadly, four of the five bear

AI tests Asia-Pacific's digital infrastructure, green ambitions

HomepageNews  BusinessAI tests Asia-Pacifics digital infrastructure, green ambitions  TL;DR:AI is forcing Asia-Pacific to re-evaluate its digital infrastructure, but the region‘s challenge goes beyond powering the technology. As governments grapple with AI’s environmental footprint, new initiatives are exploring how it can help tackle planetary challenges while building local expertise and digital independence.  Artificial intelligence (AI) is challenging Asia-Pacific‘s digital infrastructure, prompting governments to rethink how the region will support AI’s growing demands and its increasing role in the digital economy in the years to come.  In its Asia-Pacific Digital Transformation Report 2026, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) highlighted the broader integration of AI across the region, noting that APAC economies are facing growing demand for computing power, connectivity, and data capacity.  APAC is shaping up to be a hotbed for AI innovation in recent years, attracting numerous AI investments from tech giants, including Nvidia‘s (NASDAQ: NVDA) $150 billion annual investment in Taiwan, Samsung’s planned $1.5 billion semiconductor testing plant in Vietnam, and Microsofts (NASDAQ: MSFT) target $1.7 billion AI and cloud services development project in Indonesia.  While these are expected to bring massive benefits to the region and its people, including the potential to address issues that have long

Uniswap founder says SBF paid seven figures for domain

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has said Sam Bankman-Fried paid seven figures for Uniswap.com before Uniswap Labs secured the domain through a 2021 legal proceeding that found it had been used in bad faith.  In a Sept. 21 post on X, Adams said the original owners wanted a seven-figure payment for the domain, which his team declined. He claimed Bankman-Fried later paid that amount and redirected Uniswap.com toward a fork of the Uniswap protocol. Adams did not disclose the purchase price, transaction documents or identity of the seller in his post.  “I guess to flex / mess with us,” Adams wrote while discussing Bankman-Frieds possible motive. The phrasing was speculation by Adams, not a documented finding from the later domain proceeding.  Fun fact, the og owners of https://t.co/bRvDs5brca wanted 7 figures, but we refused to pay that amount  So SBF bought it (for 7 figures) and pointed it to a fork – I guess to flex / mess with us  A review of the official WIPO case record confirms several other parts of the account. Uniswap Labs filed a complaint over Uniswap.com in May 2021, and a three-member World Intellectual Property Organization panel ordered the domain transferred to the company on Sept. 3, 2021.

Bitcoin Reclaims 50-Week Average: Is Bear Market Over?

Bitcoin has closed above its 50-week moving average for the first time in more than 10 months, a development some analysts said could signal the end of Bitcoins bear market.  Bitcoin closed the week at $81,159 on Coinbase on Sunday, above its 50-week moving average of $78,788, according to TradingView. The last weekly close above the moving average was on Nov. 9, 2025.  In August, Galaxy Researchs head of firmwide research Alex Thorn described the 50-week moving average as serving as a ceiling during bear markets.  “In four of the five completed bear markets, once the 50-week moving average was first broken to the upside, the bear market bottom was definitively ‘in,’” he said in a research note.  “Essentially, retaking the 50w MA has previously confirmed the end of a bear market,” Thorn added.  Bitcoin closed the week at $81,159 on Coinbase, above its 50-week moving average (blue).
