A centuries-old practice is being used by China's CBDC wallet in an effort to increase adoption.

The app for managing digital yuan wallets has been updated to include a digital version of a traditional Chinese method for giving money as a gift, which was rendered obsolete by the rise of digital payment systems. In an effort to entice potential new users, the wallet app for China's digital yuan central bank digital currency (CBDC) has included a feature that allows users to send money in an electronic version of the country's traditional "red packets." According to a report published by the South China Morning Post on December 26, the new functionality was made available over the course of the past weekend, approximately one month before the beginning of the Chinese New Year on January 22. As a symbol of good fortune and prosperity, "red packets," which are known as hongbao in China, are customarily given as gifts of money during celebrations such as the Chinese New Year and other occasions. As the use of digital payments continues to grow, popular regio...

The staking of ETH on the most prominent exchanges is a contributing factor to Ethereum's censorship.

The use of censoring MEV relays by cryptocurrency ecosystems and exchanges is one of the most significant factors that undermines the neutrality and credibility of Ethereum. Being in compliance with federal sanctions has a detrimental effect on the global reach of the vast majority of cryptocurrency ecosystems. When it comes to Ethereum, however, investors hold a significant amount of power, which allows them to decide the degree of compliance obeyed by the ecosystem. A little under sixty percent of all Ethereum blocks created after the merge are in compliance with the sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States (OFAC). Despite the fact that the cryptocurrency community is united in its opposition to this change, many participants are unaware of the role they have played in bringing Ethereum closer to full OFAC compliance. The utilization of censoring Miner extractable value (MEV) relays by cryptocurrency ecosystems and exchanges is one of the most si...

Malaysian economic growth will slow in 2023

According to analysts, Malaysia's economy would decline in 2023 as a result of difficult external circumstances and weakening internal demand. According to a report by Maybank Investment Bank Research, Malaysia's full-year growth is expected to reduce to 4% in 2023 from its projected 8% growth in 2022, mainly due to a slowdown in domestic demand, according to Xinhua news agency. In addition to the consequences of high inflation and high interest rates on cost of living and real disposable income, the research house anticipates slower growth in private consumption over the coming year as pent-up spending from the complete economic re-opening evaporates. Along with the decreased budgetary allotment for government running expenses in 2023, it also anticipates moderate growth in public consumption. In addition, it claimed that the prospect of slower global economic expansion leads to a decline in exports and imports of products and services. In the meantime, MIDF Research expects M...

The Ukrainian capital has experienced explosions, prompting the deployment of emergency personnel.

There were three loud explosions in the heart of Kyiv, and the Ukrainian government later claimed they were caused by the destruction of Iranian-made Shahed drones. Ten Shahed drones, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, were shot down by Ukraine's air defenses, and rescue workers were sent to the Shevchenkivskyi neighborhood in the city's center. Details will follow, he said on his Telegram channel. Independent confirmation of Klitschko's assertion was not feasible. Ukrainian politician Oleksiy Goncharenko tweeted that he had heard three blasts around 6:30 a.m. local time (04:30 GMT). At 3:55 a.m. local time (5:55 a.m. GMT), the air-raid siren sounded, and everyone were told to stay in bomb shelters until they heard the all-clear. According to Goncharenko, "Ukrainians wake up not from alarm clocks, but from explosions." I appreciate the help from our northern neighbor, Russia. Howdy, y'all!

The majority of Hong Kong's restrictions on bars and restaurants are going to be lifted as part of the COVID curb withdrawal.

Hong Kong is going to do rid of some of the remaining remnants of its Covid-19 regulations, which have been responsible for destroying the city's economy and bringing its reputation as a financial hub into disrepute. As of tomorrow, incoming travelers will no longer be prohibited from visiting restaurants and bars within the first three days of arrival, and residents will no longer be required to scan a tracing app in order to enter eateries, pubs, and other venues. In addition, the ban on visiting restaurants and bars within the first three days of arrival will no longer apply to outgoing travelers. John Lee, the chief executive of Hong Kong, stated that "we have evaluated the data and danger," and one of the considerations that was considered was that the risk brought in by imported cases is actually lower than the risk of infection in the community. "We have reviewed the data and risk," The changes follow Beijing's about-face on its zero-Covid policy earl...

How is Britain using Brexit to change finance?

IS THIS THE NEXT BIG BANG? Not quite, but it represents a shift in the regulatory pendulum from years of strengthening bank capital requirements and enforcing consumer safeguards to considering how to make rules function better for Britain after Brexit. First named the "Edinburgh Regulations" after the city where they were formally presented by finance minister Jeremy Hunt, the revisions were initially dubbed a Big Bang 2.0 on the same scale as far-reaching 1980s share trading reforms. The administration has toned down its rhetoric, emphasizing that there would be no "race to the bottom," significant departures from international norms, or elimination of investor protections, but that authorities should help the financial sector's international competitiveness. Hunt said it would be incorrect to refer to the reforms as a "Big Bang" given the need to avoid "unlearning" lessons from the 2008 global financial crisis, and he emphasized regulators...

Dar claims that the economy is on the right track.

Finance Minister Ishaq Dar stated on Saturday that Pakistan is on the right track and will not default, despite opposition propaganda. "Pakistan will not default solely due of opposition propaganda" (Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf). "The country's orientation is correct, and it is not on the verge of default," Mr Dar asserted during his meeting with business leaders. PTI Chairman Imran Khan and other party leaders have predicted that Pakistan will fail due to the coalition government led by the PML-"bad N's policies." Mr Khan believes that the country's economy can only be stabilized if a stable administration pursues new elections and addresses the crisis. Mr Dar went on to say that the opposition was harming the country's "economic cause." "In addition, the opposition is attempting to deter foreign investment in the country by spreading corruption stories." "The PTI must take a serious stance and refrain from meddling w...

Chinese producer prices decline, while consumer inflation slows due to weak demand.

In November, factory-gate prices in China fell annually for a second month but consumer inflation moderated, pointing to weak demand and sluggish activity in an economy that has been constrained by stringent economic controls.

What's a rising wedge?

Rising wedge is a bearish chart pattern with two intersecting trend lines. Trend lines converge. First trend line connects recent lower and higher highs; second connects recent lows. The shape is a right triangle. Rising wedges fall. Since the low is higher than the high and the lower trend line is steeper than the upper one, the rising wedge pattern is bearish.
