Binance Charity’s 2018 Japan flood relief efforts raised $1.41M in crypto, setting a standard for disaster response via blockchain donations.
Binance Charity’s 2018 flood relief efforts in Japan remain a standout example of how cryptocurrency can support disaster response, raising $1.41 million in ERC-20 tokens to aid communities devastated by historic floods. This initiative, which distributed 63.03 BTC and 169.85 ETH (then valued at approximately $505,545) to local NGOs, not only provided immediate relief but also showcased the efficiency and transparency of blockchain-based philanthropy. The West Japan floods of late June to mid-July 2018 left 225 dead and displaced millions, marking one of the most severe natural disasters in modern Japanese history. Binance Charity’s response was swift, utilizing crypto to bypass traditional donati
The post The videos stored on Bitcoin’s blockchain forever appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin was built to move money, not host home videos. Yet for more than a decade, developers, artists, and trolls have smuggled animated images and video clips into on-chain transaction data. Tens of thousands of archival nodes around the world download them, validate them, and store them or their ownership certificates on hard drives indefinitely. Some of it’s art. Most of it’s just silly. The methods range from elegant to absurd. Some formats wrap a file inside a single transaction’s witness data or stamp pixels into transaction outputs. Other methods slice files into bizarre private keys. A few stash content in Counterparty servers or other pointer-type certificates of ownership. No matter the methodology, one unifying feature is permanence. Once miners confirm a video clip or its metadata within a block, no one can scrub it out. Below is one example per format type. Each video paid a B

The post Japan wholesale inflation jumps to 4.9% as import costs surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
According to a Bank of Japan (BOJ) report issued Friday May 15, Japan’s wholesale prices jumped 4.9% year-on-year in April. This number exceeds the 3.0% gain economists had forecast and nearly doubled March’s revised 2.9%, as the Iran conflict drove a sharp rise in oil and petrochemical import costs, Reuters reported. The corporate goods price index (CGPI), which tracks what companies charge each other for goods, caught markets off guard. But beyond the headlines, yen-denominated import prices were even more revealing. Import prices rose 17.5% in April from a year earlier, nearly double its pace in March at 8.0%. The cause: The war in Iran and the closed Strait of Hormuz. The resulting effect has seen crude prices spike, the dollar trading higher against the yen, driving up costs for Japan’s fuel-dependent economy. Japanese manufacturers and retailers are passing cost increases t

What the partnership actually involves First, Kraken will integrate Franklin Templeton’s BENJI money market fund as a collateral asset and cash management tool for institutional clients. Institutional traders on Kraken will be able to park cash in a tokenized money market fund and use it as collateral, rather than letting dollars sit idle in an account earning nothing. Second, the two firms plan to
