Samsung Next invests in Axie Infinity NFT game



NFT, so-called non-fungible tokens, are moving more and more into the focus of companies. Samsung Next, the subsidiary of the tech giant Samsung, is now investing a three-digit million amount in the developer of the NFT game Axie Infinity.

The NFT hype continues unstoppably. As a prime example, alongside the digital works of art, some of which are auctioned for double-digit million amounts, is Axie Infinity.

Now the investment company Samsung Next, a subsidiary of the technology group Samsung, is investing around 152 million US dollars in Sky Mavis, the company behind the Axie Infinity game. Samsung Next seems to see enormous growth potential here. The associated AXS token is currently quoted at around 118 US dollars and has increased its value by around 95,000 percent since November 2020. Publisher Sky Mavis makes millions from the game's play-to-earn concept .

Samsung Next: Not the first investment in blockchain products

This is not the first time Samsung Next has invested in this spaceCompanies such as Dapper Labs (responsible for CryptoKitties) and Animoca Brands, based in Hong Kong, were already in the focus of Samsung Next.

Samsung seems certain that Axie Infinity still has potential, despite the already very high growth of Axie Infinity. “Samsung knows that Axie Infinity is the hottest thing right now, as it has been with CryptoKitties. It could also mean that the company is realizing how popular blockchain and NFTs have become, ”says Kim Jeong-soo, professor of industrial management and engineering at Myongji University.

In South Korea, Samsung's home market, these types of play-to-earn games are not allowed. Kim believes this will change in the near future, however. In his opinion, the subjects of ownership and value transfer in relation to virtual assets would be in a better light in the future.

NFT for mass adoption of cryptos

In general, NFTs seem to offer the possibility of finally making the crypto market accessible to every layperson. Even if the crypto market has been growing unstoppably for years, NFTs cover a wide variety of areas.

NFTs are now used in everything from computer games to art and music.  Meanwhile, even in China, NFTs are allowed despite the crypto ban. TikTok and McDonalds China also know how to use this for themselves with their own NFT collections.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used.

For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
