👋 Attention community, here we have the Binance Bytes of the week🔥
As is customary, here I bring you the ultra-quick summary of the three biggest gossip stories of the week in the crypto and blockchain universe. Let’s get started!
1️⃣ A Chinese Giant Moves to RWA on BNB Chain 🏦🤝
China Merchants Bank, one of the largest banks in the country, has just launched a tokenized fund of $3.8 billion! They did it in partnership with DigiFT and chose the BNB Chain.
Why does this matter to us? Friends, this is a direct bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi. It allows large investors to access real-world assets (RWA) —such as bonds or properties— directly from the blockchain. It is proof that "serious" money is taking DeFi very seriously.
2️⃣ Alipay Launches Its Own Layer 2 on Ethereum 🤯🚀
BREAKING NEWS from China! Alipay, the super payment app used by 1.4 billion people, presented Jovay, its second-layer network built on Ethereum. Yes, you read that right: the Chinese giant chose Ethereum.
Why does this matter to us? This has the potential to take scalability to another level. Jovay is using hybrid technology (ZK and Optimistic Rollups) to handle over 20,000 transactions per second (TPS), with the goal of reaching 100,000 TPS. Imagine connecting over a billion users to Ethereum... This is massive adoption!
3️⃣ Record! The U.S. Confiscates $15 Billion in BTC 😱🚨
The United States government has just made history with the largest Bitcoin seizure of all time: 127,000 BTC, valued at about $15 billion. It was part of a gigantic operation against a scam network in Cambodia.
