Crypto Gaming Adoption Hinges On Clarity Act: Web3 Gamer

Crypto Gaming Adoption Hinges On Clarity Act: Web3 Gamer

The post Crypto Gaming Adoption Hinges On Clarity Act: Web3 Gamer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gaming giants to ‘come out of the woodwork’ for crypto after Clarity Act Crypto will start to become adopted by multibillion-dollar gaming giants after the CLARITY Act advances through US Congress, according to Robbie Ferguson, founder of Immutable. “I expect to see a ton of companies to come out of the woodwork with ultimately programmable loyalty and incentive schemes that are far more efficient than whatever their existing system is using,” Ferguson said during an interview on TradeTalks on Wednesday. “We’re already in conversation with mult-billion dollar public gaming companies who are considering launching tokens as incentives for their end players, but what they need is complete clarity and certainty on how they can do that in a lawful way,’ Ferguson said.  The CLARITY Act aims to create a clearer, more defined regulatory framework for the crypto industry, including a more straightforward understanding of oversight between the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Robbie Ferguson spoke to TradeTalks on Wednesday. (Nasdaq) Immutable announced a partnership earlier this year with global gaming giant Ubisoft — the company behind the Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry franchises — to launch an original strategy card game, Might and Magic: Fates. Ferguson said the CLARITY Act could be the “single most transformational piece of legislation for crypto,” as it would establish a lawful pathway for assigning value to compliant crypto tokens.  He added that regulatory hostility in the crypto industry over the past four years has made it extremely difficult for companies to launch crypto tokens with real economic value. “That’s what these tokens can be at the end of the day for these companies, and doing so in a way that comports with the CLARITY Act,” he said. While Immutable expands its relationships in the traditional…

Strategy stress, liquidity strain – Blockworks

Strategy stress, liquidity strain – Blockworks

The post Strategy stress, liquidity strain – Blockworks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Markets came under pressure on Monday as crypto sold off even while rate cut odds stayed elevated. Bitcoin traded lower throughout the session, at one point down more than 6% on the day, before finishing down about 4.5%. The Nasdaq 100 (-0.2%) and S&P 500 (-0.3%) slipped only modestly, while gold (+0.1%) again outpaced BTC and held near recent highs.  It seems that markets remain hyperfocused on United States rate developments. The CME FedWatch Tool now assigns an 87% probability of a 25bps cut in December, and we see the recent move in SOFR, again materially above the Fed’s upper bound, as a clear signal of emerging liquidity and bank reserve stress. When the key overnight secured rate persistently prices through the top of the policy corridor, it suggests that reserves are becoming scarce at the margin and that balance sheet capacity is constrained. All eyes are now on the Fed’s next move, since an adjustment in either balance sheet operations or the administered rates toolkit will be needed to alleviate this tension and re-anchor money market pricing back inside the target range. Back on the crypto side, performance was broadly weaker as most sector indices underperformed BTC after a difficult month for risk assets. The best performing group was Crypto Miners (+2.3%), which continued to decouple from the rest of the complex, while Crypto Equities (+0.1%) were marginally positive. At the other end of the spectrum, Modular fell 11.3%, Gaming declined 9.1%, and the AI basket dropped 8.1%. Meanwhile, L2, DEX, and DePIN indices also down between 6% to 8% on the day. We view the pattern as consistent with ongoing risk reduction across higher risk tokens, as markets wait for clearer confirmation that the Fed…

a historic alliance for the future of blockchain

a historic alliance for the future of blockchain

The post a historic alliance for the future of blockchain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. An unprecedented event shakes the blockchain world: Cardano is gearing up to shift gears thanks to a historic collaboration among its key players. Cardano Foundation, EMURGO, Input Output (IO), Intersect, and Midnight Foundation have announced a joint proposal to bridge the infrastructural gaps that have so far hindered the ecosystem’s growth. The proposal, submitted to the community on November 27, has already garnered over 60% approval from delegated representatives (DReps), marking a record in support and speed of approval in Cardano’s governance history. A Plan to Overcome Infrastructure Limitations Clear and Targeted Objectives The core of the proposal is a request for the allocation of 70 million ada from the Cardano treasury, aimed at funding integrations deemed essential for the future of the blockchain. The objectives are ambitious and well-defined: to introduce first-tier stablecoin, institutional bridges for blockchain interoperability, oracle services, institutional-grade custody infrastructures and wallets, and on-chain analytics platforms. These integrations are deemed essential to support the next generation of on-chain activities, particularly in high-growth sectors such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), and the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA). The strategy is clear: join forces to reduce costs, accelerate infrastructure development, and ensure that Cardano has the necessary foundations to thrive. A Strategic Investment for Growth A Community-Driven Decision The proposal, presented through a Governance Info Action, represents an unprecedented strategic investment for Cardano. The goal is to provide the necessary tools to expand the ecosystem, making it more robust and capable of supporting applications ranging from DeFi to DePIN and even real-world assets. Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IO and founder of Cardano, emphasized the importance of this initiative: “It’s about setting aside historical differences and coming together for the greater good of the ecosystem. By focusing our resources on these five areas, we…
