▬ Banks need to embrace digital assets ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
This year’s global blockchain survey, with more than 1,200 senior executives participating, shows a massive shift in positive sentiment towards blockchain adoption in the financial industry. It all shows that banks should embrace the digital future. A whopping 76% of people asked believe digital assets will serve as a strong alternative to fiat currencies in the next 5–10 years.
We have even linked you to the Deloitte survey below if you want to delve into it.
Generally it’s a shift we’re already feeling, coming from the likes of giants such as Paypal, Mastercard and VISA but let’s not forget the future potential of the Bitcoin lightning network. Its adoption and use is also exploding at the moment too. For example, Substack is a newsletter service for content creators and has 500,000 paid subscriptions, and they have announced that payments can now be made via the Bitcoin lightning network.

▬ Corporates jump into NFTs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I’ve mentioned VISA before, right?
Last weekend, Visa spent $150,000 buying a unique work of art, and in doing so, quietly took its first step into the metaverse, an online world that promises to transform the internet into a virtual reality.
Instead of canvas or marble, the pixelated artwork, named CryptoPunk 7610, is what’s known as a non-fungible token (NFT). These are unique digital assets which, similarly to bitcoin, certifies the authenticity, ownership and origin of any digital object through a blockchain. Cryptopunk 7610 is one of the 10,000 24x24 pixel images of the CryptoPunk collection, which are all generated algorithmically.
Also Budweiser bought a rocket NFT for $25,000, which is now used as their Twitter profile picture.
