Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has argued that the EU should focus on strengthening its external borders and fighting human smugglers, rather than reviving a scheme that would force member states to settle refugees. The EU is set to roll out a new asylum policy proposal on Wednesday. However, the return of mandatory quotas for accepting migrants is doomed to fail, Kurz said. “We find that the distribution in Europe [of asylum seekers] has failed and many states reject this. It won’t work like this,” the chancellor told AFP. He said that member states should focus on securing the EU’s outer borders […]
“I think that Uniswap is one of the premier DeFi [decentralized finance] protocols, and its token is as well,” Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO at Alameda Research, told CoinDesk via email. “It has been the largest decentralized trading venue for a long time.” The praise is noteworthy as Bankman-Fried is credited with saving SushiSwap, Uniswap’s chief competitor. Last night, the top automated decentralized exchange, Uniswap, dropped a share of its new governance token to everyone that had ever used it, even those whose transactions had failed. “In a time when people are being greedy and malicious, they did something generous and benevolent, and […]

But even if, by some miracle of science, a safe and effective vaccine were ready in the next couple of months, many Americans might not be able to get their hands on it.

The daily distribution of the Compound protocol’s COMP token will soon change dramatically. Compound governance proposal #11 passed today at 18:37 UTC. It will go into effect in two days, after the cooling-off period passes. When that happens, it’s very likely that yield farmers will exit the riskiest markets of basic attention token (BAT) and 0x (ZRX) and move their activity into safer assets, stablecoins such as USDC and DAI. A week ago, the Compound team put forward a proposal to shift how COMP gets distributed to liquidity providers and borrowers on Compound, the premiere collateralized lending application in decentralized finance […]

The Digital Dollar Project is proposing a framework for the creation of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC). The group published its first white paper Friday, detailing the need for a tokenized version of the U.S. dollar and some potential avenues for building this system.

The group is helmed by former U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Chris Giancarlo, Gattaca Horizons CEO and former CFTC Chief […]
