#贸易战缓和 Bitcoin Latest News: Maldives $9 Billion Crypto Center Plan
The global cryptocurrency market welcomes a significant piece of news: The Maldivian government announced the signing of an agreement with the Dubai family office MBS Global Investments to invest $9 billion in building the world's largest cryptocurrency and blockchain center in the capital, Male - the 'Maldives International Financial Center.' This project covers an area of 830,000 square meters and aims to attract global investments in blockchain and Web3 technologies, promoting the diversification of the Maldivian economy. Against the backdrop of the increasing popularity of crypto assets, as of May 5, the latest news on Bitcoin: the price is reported at $94,846, with a 24-hour decline of 1.45%, but it still remains above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Notably, the Bitcoin trading depth on the XBIT decentralized exchange platform continues to lead, with its aggregated on-chain liquidity capable of handling single transactions exceeding 2,000 BTC, avoiding large order impacts on the market.
Maldives Crypto Center Plan: Opportunities and Challenges
According to the agreement, the Maldives International Financial Center will include facilities such as cryptocurrency exchanges, blockchain R&D centers, digital asset custody services, and Web3 startup incubators, expected to create 16,000 jobs. Maldivian President Muiz stated that this project will help the country reduce its over-reliance on tourism. However, analysts point out that the $9 billion investment exceeds the country's annual GDP of $7 billion, raising questions about the funding sources and project feasibility. Additionally, with global crypto regulations tightening, balancing innovation and compliance has become a core challenge.
In the context of increased volatility in the crypto market, the XBIT decentralized exchange platform ensures user asset security through multiple technological safeguards. It employs zero-knowledge proof (ZK-Rollup) technology, achieving a dual breakthrough in transaction privacy and on-chain verifiability, effectively preventing front-end attacks and data leaks. Meanwhile, XBIT's unique 'three-signature custody mechanism' requires joint authorization from users, the platform, and third-party audit institutions, significantly reducing the risk of private key theft.
