Completed a CBDC project with the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Joint Research Centre for Digital Finance👀
As a test, we tested a method of locking a pilot CBDC, minting an equal amount of Ethereum-based wrap coins, and then using those wrap coins to purchase Ethereum-based NFTs
The company announced in August of this year that it had formed a CBDC program with Ripple and Consensys, indicating that it is working on this program with a sense of speed
Ripple's CBDC efforts in various countries are very dominant, and I'm sure we'll see similar news appear frequently in the future😌

State of Blockchain Gaming in Q3 2023✅
Investment in the gaming sector reached $600 million in Q3. This year it has reached a total of $2.3 billion, but this is only 30% of last year's fundraising activity, and the numbers report how sluggish this year has been But the sector is not stagnant and will bear fruit in the future
Personally, I see a great affinity between blockchain and gaming, and we have heard of many major game developers entering the market In Q4, BIGTIME, which has been getting a lot of attention lately, as well as test plays of high quality games, are on the horizon

NFT x Tattoo
It seems that a machine that can output tattoos created on the blockchain in high definition is being developed. This is a good attempt to expand the earnings of creators, including royalty payments to creators when their tattoos are used😌
In Japan, it is difficult to accept tattoos as a form of fashion, and although I myself am not an expert in this field, I am glad to see that there are more opportunities for creators to be active, regardless of whether they are NFTs or not👏

The token I had previously posted for fun has been launched DYOR‼︎
Execute JP Morgan's first live blockchain-based collateral settlement transaction
One of BlackRock's Money Market Funds (MMFs) was converted into a digital token and sent as collateral for an OTC trade in derivatives. The Tokenized Collateral Network (TCN) was used for this transaction, and the underlying platform is Onyx Digital Assets, a proprietary Ethereum-based platform
Developers say the technology will provide instant access and improve the efficiency of collateralized assets The combination of traditional financial markets and blockchain technology is likely to continue to accelerate😌
I feel that social networking sites reveal one's true nature, and there are so many people who are negative or talk about something from a superior perspective. I understand many of their opinions, and I do not deny all of them, but I think that those who make such claims assume too much that they are right about the subject matter. If it is assumed that a certain answer can be derived, as in mathematics, that may be acceptable. However, isn't there almost no definite correct answer in the world? I believe that the desire for approval, to be recognized by others, is an essential part of human nature, but we deny others and matters based solely on our own ideas, and we do not try to understand those that contradict our own ideas. I myself, who think in this way, have become entrenched in my thinking, but I try as much as possible not to look at things in only one direction.
What I'm trying to say is that Japanese social networking sites often make me uncomfortable just looking at them🤮

Lightning Network
1,212% growth over the past two years💥
From the article: Interestingly, the narrative that Bitcoin’s Lightning Network would be used for micropayments is very much alive. Today’s report indicated that 25% of all network activity happens between 1-10 sats (or $0.0002), which has mostly gone to gaming and streaming. A second 25% occurs in the 10-1,000 sat range (and is mainly related to tipping), whereas anything from 10,000 up seems to be for commerce, remittance, and node rebalancing.
While he mentions that he is pleased about the amount of growth, he also points out some concerns about the current reliance on centralized wallets, and mentions that he hopes to see support for developers expand. Ethrium's L2 has made great strides since last year, and Bitcoin solutions, such as the emergence of Ordinals, are making steady progress even as the expansion of the ecosystem picks up. I would like to focus on the Bitcoin movement, which is scheduled to reach its half-life next year✅
