Integration, Domination, Investment and 20 Crypto Jokes

It was a fun week in the Cryptosphere. Is there any other kind though? Tron became a part of Samsung Blockchain Keystore; China’s already looking at applying blockchain technology to cross-border trade finance, and China-based coins pumped hard; as BCH network security was in question, BCH rallied too, and then rallied some more on Bitmain drama. Meanwhile, only 10 out of the top 50 coins are green in a year, and when Ethereum introduces staking, the volume of staking activity will more than double.

As South Korea decided to invest more in blockchain, a group of blockchain advocates is trying to change the government’s stance on crypto, and Ripple invested millions in one of the country’s top university blockchain research units. Speaking of Ripple, Japanese giant SBI praised it, while also making millions with crypto. That’s not all, as it turns out that the U.S. still dominates in a several security token-related areas, Sberbank introduced a new low-cost, cross-border remittance solution to rival crypto, Dash responded to the confusion that followed the closing of its Latin America affiliate, Bakkt plans to test a new crypto product with Starbucks, tZERO won a multimillion real estate tokenization project. Also, as Alec Baldwin has been hired by eToro, we learned that Baldwins have been residents of the Cryptoworld for a while now. And a crypto deepfake sent a worrying message.

And after the news summary, here are some jokes for you to enjoy.
