πŸš€ Russian Central Bank Clarifies Digital Ruble's Impact On Monetary Policy

According to Odaily, the Central Bank of Russia has recently clarified that the introduction of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), known as the digital ruble, will not alter the way the country manages its monetary policy. In a draft outlining the bank's policy direction for 2025-2027, it was stated that even after the digital ruble is launched, the central bank will continue to use the same tools to target inflation. The emergence of the digital form of the national currency will not affect the mechanism for implementing monetary policy. The Central Bank of Russia will continue to manage money market rates by providing liquidity to banks and absorbing liquidity from them.

According to Odaily, anti-fraud platform Trustpair has announced the integration of JPMorgan's blockchain-based solution, Confirm, to verify bank account information.

πŸš€ Bitcoin's Continued Outperformance in 2024 Highlights Investment Benefits

According to BlockBeats, on October 2, Matrixport released its daily chart report, highlighting the ongoing academic discussions on how Bitcoin enhances investors' Sharpe ratios, improves portfolio diversification, and reduces overall volatility for institutional investors. Various studies have confirmed the benefits of including Bitcoin in investment portfolios. However, a more straightforward approach is to emphasize Bitcoin's consistent outperformance compared to other assets. In 2024, this trend continues, with Bitcoin delivering a year-to-date return exceeding 53%, providing substantial returns for investors.

The Sharpe ratio is a crucial financial metric used to measure risk-adjusted returns of an investment. Introduced by Nobel laureate William Sharpe, it aims to help investors evaluate portfolio performance. A high Sharpe ratio indicates that the portfolio has achieved higher excess returns for the risk taken, generally considered a sign of good performance. Conversely, a low Sharpe ratio may suggest that the portfolio's returns have not adequately compensated for the risks undertaken.

πŸš€ Digital Asset Completes Pilot Program For Tokenizing Bonds And Gold

According to Odaily, Digital Asset, a company specializing in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), announced on Tuesday the successful completion of a pilot program using the Canton Network protocol to tokenize UK bonds (gilts), European bonds, and gold for financial transactions. The initiative saw participation from major securities settlement provider Euroclear, the World Gold Council, global law firm Clifford Chance, along with other banks, investors, custodians, and a central securities depository.

During the pilot project, which took place from June to July, digital representations of UK government bonds, European bonds, and gold were created to be used as collateral. This approach aimed to enhance transparency, speed up transfer times, and enable near-instantaneous, around-the-clock settlement between parties, eliminating delays associated with traditional financial systems.

A report by Boston Consulting Group and 21Shares forecasts that, in an optimistic scenario, the market value of tokenized assets could exceed $10 trillion by the end of this decade. Meanwhile, McKinsey's base case scenario predicts the market will reach $2 trillion by that time.

πŸš€ Solana DEX Weekly Trading Volume Surpasses Ethereum

According to BlockBeats, Solana decentralized exchanges (DEX) have seen a significant increase in trading volume. For the first time in 43 days, the weekly trading volume on Solana DEX has surpassed that of Ethereum. Over the past seven days, Solana DEX recorded a trading volume of $91.12 billion, while Ethereum DEX registered $90.94 billion.

This development marks a notable shift in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, highlighting Solana's growing influence and adoption in the market. The increase in trading volume on Solana DEX can be attributed to its high-speed transactions and lower fees compared to Ethereum, which has faced congestion and higher gas fees.

The competition between Solana and Ethereum in the DeFi space is intensifying, with both platforms striving to offer better services and attract more users. As Solana continues to gain traction, it will be interesting to observe how this rivalry evolves and impacts the broader cryptocurrency market.

πŸš€ Hyperliquid Announces Support For Builder Codes

According to Foresight News, decentralized derivatives trading platform Hyperliquid has announced on X that it now supports builder codes. This new feature allows anyone to profit from applications on the L1 layer without needing permission.

Hyperliquid stated that builder codes are trustless and fully on-chain. They combine the advantages of centralized exchange (CEX) broker programs with the permissionless, self-custody nature of decentralized finance (DeFi). With just a single line of code, users can earn proportional revenue from trading volumes associated with regional front-ends, fiat gateways, mobile wallets, and social trading. This revenue potential could be multiple times higher than the fees charged by the L1 itself.
