Finally explode in space with Justin Sun, the new national blockchain of Vietnam: Asia Express

Go to space with Justin Sun

Crypto Exchange HTX (formerly Huobi) said that he would send a user to a $ 6 million note to move in space alongside Justin Sun in July 2025.

The campaign will select five additional finalists to reach seven previous winners to form a limited list of 12 people. A person will finally be chosen to participate in commercial space flight.

The exchange actually talks about this since 2021, when Sun has been revealed as the winner of an auction of $ 28 million for a ten -minute trip to space. We do not know why the trip itself has been delayed for so long, but schedule conflicts have been cited. A bonus for the sun is that he received four years of advertising on the very, very expensive promotion.

The last announcement comes in a meticulous spatial tourism exam, after the Blue Origin’s NS-31 mission in April which sent the pop star of Pop Katy Perry, the host of Gayle King and Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez, in the suborbital vol.

The journey attracted the extent of activists and celebrities who questioned its objective and optics. Others have seen the historic mission entirely feminine in space as stimulating, while many people simply thought that going to space would be really cool, especially if someone else covers extraordinarily high costs.

Justin Sun has a history of participation in the attention, including his candidacy of $ 4.6 million for lunch with Warren Buffett and eating bananas of an art of $ 6.2 million that had been stuck to a wall. The banana itself was an item routed in a replaceable store worth approximately a male, demonstrating again that the sun is the undisputed master of advertising.

Vietnam wants a local local layer blockchain

A group of Vietnamese financial institutions has unveiled the 1matrix initiative to build the country’s own blockchain of the country and reduce dependence on foreign technology platforms.

1Matrix is ​​supported by the financial institutions Techcombank and Techcom Securities, the real estate company Masterrise Group and One Mount Group, and joined the Vietnam Blockchain Association (VBA).

“The complete control of blockchain and intellectual property technology will not only proactively apply technology in its economic, societal and future digital development, but also to strengthen national sovereignty on data, to ensure cybersecurity and improve the position of Vietnam on the world scene,” said Phan Duc Trung, president of 1matrix and VBA.

The project is at the other end of the “fun” spectrum in Ronin, a layer 1 blockchain developed by the Vietnamese game startup Sky Mavis, which was a worldwide success thanks to its flagship game Axe Infinity. Although Ronin may be the first blockchain in small groups in Vietnam, it was built mainly for games and supported by international investors such as A16Z and Animoca brands.

On the other hand, 1matrix is ​​a layer 1 blockchain for general use aligned with the very serious national priorities of Vietnam. The project trained a strategic partnership with Boston Consulting Group and received public support from Lieutenant-General Dang Vu Son, former head of the Cipher of the Government.

Launched under the banner “Make in Vietnam”, 1Matrix reflects the objectives of the national blockchain strategy of Vietnam, which emphasizes the development of interior technology.

The withdrawal of instant cryptography is practical for users and crooks

The financial authorities of South Korea are pressure for cryptocurrency exchanges to restore delayed withdrawals due to an increase in vocal phishing attacks.

Vocal phishing damage increased by around 11.6 billion Korean won ($ 8.3 million) following the system suspension in July of last year.

The delay in withdrawal is a voluntary measure which prevents users from withdrawing the crypto for a certain period.

Four of the five approved local exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit) abandoned the system in July, citing the convenience of users. Total phishing transactions on these platforms exceeded 13.24 billion Korean won ($ 9.4 million), with 11.6 billion Won Korean to come after the suspension of withdrawal delays.

Three of the four exchanges (Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit) agreed to resume delays in withdrawal, the financial supervision service said in a statement.

In such phishing attacks, crooks encourage victims when sending Fiat to a compromised bank account created to finance an crypto exchange account. Once the funds are deposited, they are used to buy crypto, which is then immediately removed in an external portfolio controlled by the crook.

Delay of withdrawals can allow exchanges to implement suspicious activities or to freeze suspicious accounts. The delay period can vary depending on the platform and can even last three days.

Last remaining member of a Ponzi group in Minies de Crypto of four men condemned

A 61-year-old Chinese national was ordered to join his co-conspirators already in prison for four and a half years in prison for his role in an cryptocurrency investment scam which collected $ 6.7 million in Singapore ($ 5.17 million) of more than 700 investors.

Lu Huangbin, the former managing director of A&A Blockchain Technology Innovation, pleaded guilty to several charges of criminal offense involving fraud after the company was deemed exploited with a Ponzi program disguised as an crypto extraction project, reported the Strait of the Outlet Times.

Between May 2021 and February 2022, the company said that it had 300,000 cryptocurrency extraction machines and promised investors a fixed daily yield of 0.5% thanks to the extraction of crypto.

In reality, A & A Blockchain did not have these platforms. The company has used new investors money to pay the returns to the old ones.

Lu is the fourth and last person involved in the scam to be condemned. In August, the Dutch National Yang Bin was sentenced to six years in prison. The Yang assistant was sentenced to four years, while the Operation Technology Director obtained five years.

Hong Kong, come to Dubai

The senior executives of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC) finished a series of high -level meetings in the United Arab Emirates, to strengthen international links in crypto.

Eric Yip, executive director of intermediaries, and Elizabeth Wong, director of intermediaries and chief of the SFC fintech unit, met regulators and representatives of the blockchain industry in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

The SFC said that its leaders had had in -depth discussion developed on the regulation of cryptography and supervision approaches to supervise companies operating in the sector.

This visit comes at a time when Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates – in particular Dubai – are positioned as world web3 hubs, in competition to attract crypto companies, investors and infrastructure providers.

The two jurisdictions have deployed regulatory regimes for cryptographic assets and actively court international partners to strengthen their credibility and market share.
