Job openings posted by FTX US demonstrate that the FTX Gaming is looking to integrate blockchain and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into their games. The company will provide a crypto-as-a-service platform, where game publishers can launch tokens. FTX also launched a $100 million blockchain gaming fund late last year, in partnership with Solana Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners. An OpenSea phishing attack over the weekend resulted in 17 users losing NFT assets – some of which were of high value, including Bored Ape Yacht Club collectibles. The attack took advantage of users who thought they were migrating their listed assets from the old OpenSea smart contract to a new one. Instead, the new contract was falsified and granted the hacker access to the migrated tokens. The Russian Ministry of Finance has introduced a bill that looks to regulate cryptocurrency assets, in stark contrast to the Central Bank's intention to ban them outright. The bill outlines a plan to create a regulated, legal marketplace for virtual assets, as well as rules for their circulation and who may participate in those markets. If passed, the bill would treat cryptocurrencies as an investment vehicle, rather than currency. |
