KuCoin defends itself against "scaremongering" - "No payout stop planned"

 


Crypto exchange KuCoin has unintentionally become a topic of discussion, as parts of the crypto community have now rumored on Twitter that the trading platform will also impose a payout freeze. KuCoin boss Johnny Lyu tried to nip the rumors in the bud as much as possible.


Well-known crypto-Twitter voices such as the users @KongBTC and @otteroooo recently urged their followers to clear all their KuCoin balances as quickly as possible, as the crypto exchange is likely to impose an alleged stop on payouts in the near future.



The background to this possible step is an alleged connection between KuCoin and the failed crypto projects Terra and 3AC, which in turn is said to have led to the crypto exchange also getting into payment difficulties.

KuCoin boss Johnny Lyu vehemently contradicts these speculations and makes it clear that his trading platform has no connection to Terra (LUNA), 3AC, Babel Finance or other shaky projects. To further refute these claims, the CEO points to a recent cash injection of $150 million that is said to have boosted KuCoin's enterprise value to a whopping $10 billion. Another sign of strength is that his company continues to hire new employees, while many other crypto companies are currently cutting jobs due to cost concerns.


To this end, Lyu explains:


"We will not be affected by the collapse of any projects, there are no plans to stop payments, KuCoin operations continue as normal."


The CEO intends to provide the relevant evidence by soon publishing the company report for the first half of 2022. Users and observers could then take all relevant information about the status of the trading platform from this. In conclusion, however, Lyu does not just leave it at appeasements and apparent transparency, but also threatens the propagators of these speculations with “legal action” in the worst case:


“To the scaremongers who are intentionally spreading this unconfirmed information, I say: KuCoin reserves the right to take legal action. Please stop this scaremongering.”

Tether boss Paolo Ardoino recently announced that the market-leading stablecoin Tether ( USDT ) was also subject to a "coordinated attack" by hedge funds who wanted to pull down the US dollar stablecoin with short positions.



In view of the current imbalance on the market, there could also be targeted attacks behind the supposed "scaremongering" about some crypto projects, but it is nevertheless important to note that faltering companies are also using all means to defend themselves against the impending loss of trust, which could further increase their problems .


For example, the crypto exchange Voyager Digital announced at the beginning of the week that it would continue to operate as usual, only to impose a payout freeze a few days later.

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. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
