Recently, the cross-border payment platform has officially launched, allowing individual users to transfer funds freely between Hong Kong and the mainland, with real-time transactions almost instantaneous.
This means that the digital flow of funds between the Renminbi and the Hong Kong dollar is gradually eliminating barriers, and the channels for compliant cross-border deposits are opening up.
Such policies undoubtedly have long-term positive significance for licensed compliant institutions.
At the same time, we also saw the news that the HashKey OTC brand has upgraded to "HashKey OTC Global" @HashKeyOTC. Upon researching, it was found that its OTC services now support over 60 currencies and have established cooperative channels with several banks, including DBS Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and Zhong An Bank.
In terms of compliance qualifications, it has also obtained regulatory licenses from multiple regions, including Singapore MPI, Japan JFSA, and Dubai VARA, making it one of the few platforms with cross-market compliance layout.
There are now signs indicating that financial regulation from the mainland is beginning to loosen, and HashKey hopes to become the preferred platform for state-owned capital, building a bridge to connect funds from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and even Europe.
Considering the recent surge of $HSK, it can be said that there is a lot of potential.
When it's time to withdraw funds, I will also try HashKey's OTC channel, which is good in terms of compliance, safety, and efficiency.
Started shorting $NEW with grid bots 5 days ago and got trapped 😭, the same happened with $MYX.
If I just manually opened a long hedge brick-moving position with the maximum position size, I swear, I haven't touched normal contracts for half a year.
Completely disillusioned with grid contract robots. If contracts could make so much money, why would anyone risk so much with grid contracts and earn so little.
Funding fees have also been changed to once an hour, constantly paying money.
I know the current operation is very risky, and I can only comfort myself that it's hedging. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.
I have decided to establish a cross-disciplinary learning organization @GrowithAI.
The mission of GrowithAI is to accompany individuals in achieving self-construction and continuous growth through reading, writing, and AI.
The name clearly means Grow With AI, growing together with AI.
AI can be a good teacher and friend on our path of growth.
But as AI becomes more powerful, we can't help but wonder:
In the age of AI, how should humanity position itself?
The French thinker Pascal said, "Man is a thinking reed."
Whether facing the unemployment crisis brought by AI or questioning free will, we must maintain independent thinking.
Creating this organization is also an expectation I have for myself.
Many sages will tell us about the importance of reading and outputting, and the Feynman learning method pointedly indicates that sharing is the best way to learn.
Currently, this organization mainly operates with just me, and one of the ideas is:
If you are interested, you can submit to @GrowithAI and me @0xCheshire. Content is not limited to any field, and I will translate it into English and publish it on @GrowithAI.
My current interests mainly lie in the fields of cryptocurrency, AI, investment, personal finance, writing, and philosophy.
I don't intend to make this a closed organization that requires a review system to join; I just hope everyone can relax a bit and grow together.
There is also a WeChat group specifically for sharing and learning through reading. If you're interested, you can add my WeChat "Web3Bryan" and note your favorite book to join the group.
When you are about to participate in the upcoming NFT sale on the BASE chain, you suddenly remember:
Oh no, you are a professional dog-chasing expert, you have money on Solana, but you don't have a penny on the BASE chain.
What will you do?
Many friends might think of three words: cross-chain bridge.
That's right, this brings us to the well-known aggregator cross-chain bridge @jumperexchange in the industry.
Jumper Exchange supports seamless cross-chain transactions and exchanges across more than 50 chains, and some cross-chain transactions are gas-free.
As long as you choose which coin to exchange from one chain to another coin on another chain, you can complete the cross-chain transaction at super fast speeds!
And the powerful technology behind Jumper Exchange is the LI FI protocol @lifiprotocol.
LI FI is a cross-chain liquidity aggregation protocol that provides developers with API, SDK, and Widget toolkits to help them seamlessly integrate cross-chain functionality into their applications.
🔹 Widget: A few lines of code can embed a cross-chain interface, supporting multiple chains, multiple languages, and wallet compatibility, suitable for DeFi startups or GameFi quick launches. 🔹 API / SDK: Provides complete path planning, contract calls, and custom interfaces, suitable for medium to large protocols, self-hosted wallets, CEX, or fiat entry platforms. 🔹 Glacis & Airlift: Aggregates cross-chain communication protocols like Wormhole and LayerZero, unifying multi-chain token standards, allowing developers to focus on their applications without worrying about underlying complex logic, enabling intelligent scheduling of assets and messages across chains.
Currently, over 400 projects have integrated LI FI, including industry giants like Phantom Wallet, Binance Wallet, MetaMask, Bybit Wallet, and Robinhood Wallet.
According to disclosures on the official website, LI FI has processed over 31 million transactions, with a total cross-chain amount exceeding 22 billion dollars.
In addition to its core aggregation capabilities, LI FI is also building a deeper intent network infrastructure:
• Stablecoin API: Cross-chain stablecoin asset identification and rapid access • LI FI Solver: Self-developed executor network to ensure efficient path execution • LI FI Intents System: Modular protocol that allows external participants to bid to complete users' cross-chain intent execution
This means that in the future, LI FI will not just be about 'aggregating liquidity', but more like an order router and intent marketplace matching platform in Web3.
It can be said that LI FI and Jumper Exchange are not only cross-chain tools at the user level but also important milestones in promoting the standardization and generalization of cross-chain interoperability across the entire Web3.
Are there any ways for individual small investors to make money in Web3?
@HanaNetwork has recently launched its TGE early pre-sale, allowing you to save money to receive 100% tokens.
In this event on OKX Cryptoverse, 3000 winners will receive 250 HANA tokens after the TGE, but there have already been 282,600 entries, meaning the winning rate is 1%.
Such events have completely turned into battlegrounds for scientists/tool developers, including the upcoming TGE of the @uptopmeme project on @four_meme_, where many scientists are already preparing and selling tools.
Just participate a little, it starts at 5 PM, and you need to prepare $20 USD1 on @BNBCHAIN. Even if you don't hit it, at least you can learn something.
This 20-year-old young man carried out one of the most astonishing cryptocurrency thefts in history:
• Stole $230 million worth of Bitcoin • Gave a woman Hermes bags worth tens of thousands of dollars • Squandered vast amounts of money on private jets, Lamborghinis, and nightclub expenses of up to $500,000 a night
However, a screen recording captured by an online investigator on Twitter ultimately led to the exposure of the entire incident.
"Blockchain is politically decentralized (no one controls them), architecturally decentralized (no central infrastructure), but logically centralized (there is a universally recognized state, and its system behaves like a computer)."
