<p>Amid revolutionary announcements, technological evolutions, and regulatory turbulence, the crypto ecosystem continues to prove that it is both a territory of limitless innovations and a field of regulatory and economic battles. Here is a summary of the most impactful news from the past week surrounding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance, Solana, and Ripple.</p>
<h2 id="h-elon-musk-says-no-to-crypto-on-twitter">Elon Musk says NO to crypto on Twitter!</h2>
<p>Elon Musk, well-known for his support of Dogecoin, is working on launching a payment service via Twitter called “X Payments.” However, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/elon-musk-says-no-to-crypto-on-twitter-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">this service will not include cryptos initially</a>. Twitter Payments LLC has obtained its first money transfer license in New Hampshire, signaling advances in integrating a fiat currency payment system. The decision to exclude crypto could be related to the volatility and regulatory risks associated with cryptos. This cautious strategy has sparked mixed reactions in the crypto community, with some seeing it as a step back while others see it as a strategic move that could evolve over time.</p>

<h2 id="h-tether-launches-alloy-a-gold-backed-stablecoin">Tether launches Alloy: A gold-backed stablecoin!</h2>
<p>Tether, famous for its stablecoin USDT, has launched a new stablecoin called “Alloy.” <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-tether-launches-alloy-a-gold-backed-stablecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">This stablecoin is backed by physical gold</a> via Tether Gold (XAUt) and is designed to offer the stability of gold while enabling digital transactions. Alloy by Tether is a platform that allows the creation of collateralized synthetic digital assets. Users can mint aUSDT by depositing XAUt via smart contracts and price oracles, offering a new form of stability and flexibility in crypto transactions. This initiative is part of the trend towards the tokenization of real assets, offering an innovative combination of traditional security and blockchain technology.</p>
<h2 id="h-bnb-chain-reduces-fees-by-90-with-haber">BNB Chain reduces fees by 90% with Haber</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-bnb-chain-reduces-fees-by-90-with-hard-fork-haber/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The BNB Chain network has recently activated the Haber hard fork</a>, resulting in an impressive 90% reduction in transaction fees. This update includes the BEP-336 proposal, inspired by Ethereum’s EIP-4844, introducing blob transactions to optimize data storage and processing. By grouping transactions into attached blobs, verification becomes more efficient, reducing network costs to around $0.0001. This improvement particularly benefits the layer 2 solution, opBNB, and the decentralized storage solution BNB Greenfield. Despite a period of volatility for BNB crypto, the technological innovations of the Haber hard fork could stabilize and strengthen its market position.</p>

Based in London, this desk will allow institutional clients to trade cryptocurrencies directly, enriching their investment portfolios.

For example, Bhutan focuses on cross-border payments, while Palau emphasizes an environmentally friendly digital currency. This collaboration has elicited varied reactions within the crypto community, with some fearing increased surveillance, while others see benefits in terms of transaction speed and security.</p>
