Another crypto bridge attack: Nomad loses $190 million in ‘chaotic’ hack
New York (CNN Business) Heists continue to plague the crypto world, with news of large sums stolen from digital currency firms seemingly every month. But while crypto exchanges were once the main point of attack, hackers now appear to have a new target: blockchain bridges. Bridges are the infrastructure that allow users to exchange assets between different blockchains, the digital database underpinning major cryptocurrencies. When a bridge service swaps one coin for another, it "wraps" the currency so that it will function on the other blockchain. A wrapped coin does not become another currency altogether -- "it just looks like it," Tom Robinson, chief scientist at blockchain analysis firm Elliptic, told CNN Business. Instead, a "token" is issued to represent the new coin on the different blockchain. "I deposit my Bitcoin in the bridge. In return for doing that, I receive a Bitcoin token on the Ethereum blockchain, and then I can transfer that Bitcoin token, which is what is … [Read more...] about Another crypto bridge attack: Nomad loses $190 million in ‘chaotic’ hack

Wealthy Chinese are losing their favourite escape route to Europe
A view of Praca do Comercio in Lisbon, Portugal, May 11, 2021. - A + A NEW YORK/LISBOA (Aug 3): For wealthy Chinese looking to flee stifling pandemic lockdowns and political tensions, Portugal has a lot to offer. Mild weather, a laid-back and affordable lifestyle and investor visas that allow access to the whole European Union — all for as little as 350,000 euros. It’s a pitch that’s lured thousands of Chinese over the past decade, helping to reshape Portugal’s urban landscape as part of a tide of new money that reached US$1 billion annually at its peak in 2014. Eight years on, that wave is drying up. It’s not for lack of demand. Quite the contrary: more wealthy Chinese are attempting to leave — or at least prepare a backup plan — as the country’s Covid-Zero policy has dented economic growth. Investment migration consultancy Henley & Partners estimates 10,000 high-net-worth residents are seeking to pull US$48 billion from China this year. In the past, some … [Read more...] about Wealthy Chinese are losing their favourite escape route to Europe
Republicans confront unexpected online money slowdown
File image of Republican leader and former US president Donald Trump (Image: Reuters) Online fundraising has slowed across much of the Republican Party in recent months, an unusual pullback of small donors that has set off a mad rush among Republican political operatives to understand why — and reverse the sudden decline before it damages the party’s chances this fall. Small-dollar donations typically increase as an election nears. But just the opposite has happened in recent months across a wide range of Republican entities, including every major party committee and former President Donald Trump’s political operation. The total amount donated online fell more than 12% across all federal Republican campaigns and committees in the second quarter compared with the first quarter, according to an analysis of federal records from WinRed, the main online Republican donation-processing portal. More alarming for Republicans: Democratic contributions surged at the same time. Total … [Read more...] about Republicans confront unexpected online money slowdown

Could Carbon Markets Become Larger Than Oil And Gas?
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Director and CIO of cKers Finance, and co-founder of global sustainability advisory firm cKinetics. Carbon markets today are estimated to be worth over $100 billion and are expected to grow in the coming years. This potential spike in value could lead to a great opportunity for both the environment and investors. Has a new gold rush started? Let’s take a closer look. Carbon Is A Way To Put Value On A Scarce Resource: Air Imagine that our Earth was the size of an apple. Our atmosphere would be similar to the skin of the apple. That is how small our atmosphere is. The atmosphere stretches a mere 6.2 miles after which it rapidly loses its air density. So far, we have deemed air to be an endless resource, but that is clearly not the case. Carbon markets are a way to put a price on the real estate that exists above our heads.

Why the Future of Crypto Is Entirely Up to Apple
Apple isn't exactly known for taking risks. Even when it launches something new, it's usually after a lot of careful consideration. It's almost never first to a new market, preferring instead to take its time watching everyone else try and figure it out . That's understandable--as the world's most valuable company , it has a lot to lose. Also, there's the fact that it owes its $2.5 trillion market cap to the fact everything it makes is built on the promise of being simple and secure. Apple, after all, is the it-just-works company . Of course, when it does get involved, it usually ends up on top . That's why it's so interesting to think about Apple and crypto. To most people, crypto is either a weird hobby that your computer-savvy friend is into but no one else understands, or it's a scam (or some degree of both). It has to do with mining or buying strangely named digital "coins," and hoping the value goes up enough that lots of other people buy them, making the … [Read more...] about Why the Future of Crypto Is Entirely Up to Apple
