Malta Regulator Issues Virtual Assets 9804

The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) has now published a Virtual Financial Assets (VFA) Rulebook specifically pertaining to the regulation of Issuers of VFAs under the Virtual Financial Assets Act (VFAA). However, it seems that the publication of this rulebook has not got down very well with financial services providers who spoke to CCN. Some have lamented that it is onerous and over-cautious in several aspects and makes business slightly more complicated where cryptocurrencies and blockchain are concerned.

Joseph Borg, Partner at WH Partners said that although the publication of the rulebook was a positive step, this needs to be polished to be actually effective.

“I strongly suggest to stakeholders to participate in this consultation in order to help the MFSA come up with a well-balanced regulatory framework that is robust and attractive at the same time. It is clear that some things published in the rule book need to be polished and, in some cases, toned down. However, if sensible responses with workable solutions to the consultation paper are received, I am sure that our regulators will take them on board and fine-tune the framework accordingly”, Borg said.

“The two consultation papers relative to the first two chapters of the ‘Virtual Financial Assets Rulebook’ provide a well-defined framework for what will constitute the eventual two chapters of the Rulebook,” he stated. “There are some issues which merit further discussion with the regulator, and in fact, as interested parties in this space, we have already provided our feedback for relative amendments and clarifications within the time frame of the conclusion of the first consultation period relative to the first chapter. We are currently reviewing the second consultation paper relative to the second chapter, issued just two days ago and we will provide with our feedback to the regulator in due course.”

Other stakeholders who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the rulebook needed to be drastically revised to be effective as in it’s current state, it was a ‘no go’.

Xive Brings Secure and Efficient Bitcoin Group Mining Services 2702

Xive is a Bitcoin group mining company run by industry experts and practicing miners aimed at making mining accessible to everyone. Xive’s customers can now enjoy a new product – efficient and secure group mining services. Xive’s group mining is the purchase of a group share of equipment placement in an arrangement of 50 and more ASICs. The main difference and advantage of group mining is that Xive’s customers purchase a share of the real farm, not simply hashrate.

Xive has been developing an advanced mining web platform since 2019. It allows efficient and accurate calculation of energy consumption and automated payment and demonstrates the performance of the latest equipment throughout the year.

Group mining farms with Xive have a transparent, automatic allocation of profits with accurate data on each ASIC’s power distribution and real-time mining revenue. They also allow for a low-level entry threshold into mining, as the minimum farm share can be bought at the cost of just $30.

As mining starts immediately upon purchasing a share, customers can get returns in one of the popular digital assets without any delays, shipping or installation waiting time. The risks are shared equally among all the participants, which reduces the individual risk associated with owning a machine while the others continue running. If a farm becomes unprofitable, the equipment is sold at market price, and the proceeds are distributed according to the owner’s purchased shares.

As Didar Bekbauov, CEO and founder of Xive, highlights, “Xive is a company developed by Bitcoin miners for miners, as the company’s leadership team are co-investors of Xive’s group mining farms. And we are excited to announce a new chapter of Xive’s growth – group mining that will help serve the mission of providing everyone with an equal opportunity to mine Bitcoin in a secure manner.”

About Xive

Xive is a Bitcoin group mining company headquartered in Astana, Kazakhstan. The company provides easy and efficient group mining services and develops a transparent and fully automated mining web platform. The company’s core product, group mining, serves the mission of providing everyone with an equal opportunity to mine Bitcoin, placing customers at the heart of the company. In 2022, Xive established new partnerships with mining hosting companies in the U.S.: Kentucky, Iowa, and West Virginia.

Nearly $400B Current Yearly Global Gaming Industry Primed for Tokenization 2533

The current fragmented wallet infrastructure has immensely neglected the needs of web3 gamers. Preventing the full adoption of blockchain tokenization. V3’s Gaming Wallet has created an innovative new approach to solve this by focusing on simplifying the user experience of nearly 3 billion active gamers. For context, gaming alone is on track to hit nearly $400 Billion-dollar annual revenue in 2023. Which is projected to grow 7.7% annually over the next 5 years. While only 2% of this revenue has been tokenized on the blockchain.

There are several problems with current wallets that have prevented the wave of gaming tokenization. One is the lack of standardization. As the majority of games and platforms use different methods and interfaces for creating and managing in-game items. This makes it difficult for players to seamlessly Interact with tokenized assets between games or platforms. Which leads to confusion and poor player experience.

V3’s mission statement “To pioneer the adoption & management of tokenized gaming assets,” says Founder and CEO, Brandon Arndt.

A resulting issue from lack of standardization is the increased security and transparency risk. As game studios grow their desire to tokenize their gaming experience, the lack of support for proper wallet infrastructure pushes game developers to attempt to build their own wallet. This not only confuses a gamers’ experience by requiring the creation and adoption of multiple wallets for each gaming experience, but also increases the risk of improper development to store these tokenized game assets securely.

Both the game developers and players strongly benefit from a tokenized gaming industry. This is because current in-game items are often stored on centralized servers and traded on black-market style infrastructure, which bypasses the ability for game studios to add an additional revenue stream, but also increases vulnerability to hacking and fraud. Additionally, the ownership and origin of each in-game item being traded can be difficult to verify when not on the blockchain. Which makes it hard for players to ensure they are getting a fair deal when buying or selling items.

Co-Founder Ryan Zarzaur, “We’ve completed key milestones and made strategic moves to ensure a streamlined approach for the onboarding and management of gaming assets for players.”

All the most popular generic wallets fail to prioritize the gaming industry. Due to the required niche interfaces needed to improve a player’s experience. V3’s Gaming Wallet provides the much-needed solution by providing this standardization. Which allows direct integration into games for easy item swapping on an internal decentralized marketplace during gameplay. While also providing an easy interaction with accumulated in-game items directly from the players safety of their wallet.

“We’ve identified a massive product market fit with an incredibly active and evergreen audience, allowing V3 to have a first mover advantage in a growing $400 Billion market,” Co-Founder Jonathan Tuttle.

The Company has recently announced their Seed Round investment opportunity, for motivated investors seeking a position in a flourishing and lucrative industry. To learn more about V3’s Gaming Wallet investment opportunities connect with Founder and CEO Brandon Arndt.
