Over the last couple of years, this crypto company has shut down crypto businesses from half a dozen countries, following regulatory actions. 

As we know a couple of months ago, the Nigerian authorities arrested two Binance executives Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla.

Revolutionary Update: Tron To Launch Fee-Free Stablecoin Transactions By Year-End! | EVM News

Published

Justin Sun annnouced gas-free stablecoin transfers on Tron blockchain network.

Justin Sun is the founder of the Tron blockchain and a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency world. He has been involved in several controversies, with critics accusing him of using his financial power to manipulate markets and influence projects for personal gain. Despite this, Sun remains a key player in the blockchain industry, continuously pushing for innovative solutions.

Today Justin Sun has announced an exciting new feature. His team is developing a way to transfer stablecoins without paying gas fees. Usually, when people transfer stablecoins, they need to pay a small fee called a “gas fee.” But with this new solution, the fees will be covered by the stablecoins themselves.

This new feature will first be available on the Tron blockchain. Later, it will also work on Ethereum and other EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) networks. Justin Sun’s team expects to launch this service in the last part of this year.

This innovation could make stablecoin transfers easier and cheaper for everyone.

Justin mentioned it will be first to be implemented on the Tron blockchain and later on Ethereum and all EVM-compatible public chains. 

He believes that such services will greatly facilitate large companies in deploying stablecoin services on the blockchain, thus advancing blockchain mass adoption to a new level.

Experts believe that implementing free stablecoin transactions could have both positive and negative implications.

Covering transaction fees through other means (e.g., through the stablecoins themselves) needs a sustainable model to prevent potential financial strain on the platform.

Some experts believe free transactions might encourage spam or malicious activities, such as network congestion through excessive transactions.

Also the perception of “free” services can sometimes mask hidden costs or lead to unintended consequences, such as exploitation by certain actors.

While the concept of free stablecoin transactions is innovative and could drive adoption, it is crucial to consider the underlying economic model and potential risks to ensure it remains beneficial in the long term.

$DOP Announces Listing On 7 Exchanges Including BYBIT, Kucoin, Gate.io, And Bitfinex | EVM News

Tokyo, Japan, July 5th, 2024, Chainwire

$DOP, the token of the Data Ownership Protocol (DOP) will be available for trading in 7 major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bybit, Kucoin, HTX, Bitfinex, Gate.io, MEXC, and WhiteBIT, starting July 5th, 2024.

The Data Ownership Protocol clarified that on Bybit, the token will be listed as $DOP1 to avoid confusion with an existing fiat coin. On KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitfinex, MEXC, and WhiteBIT, the token will be listed as $DOP.

DOP launched its mainnet six weeks ago, following a highly successful testnet phase that saw participation from 2.67 million users. In the last six months, the DOP ecosystem has grown significantly. Over 1 million DOP wallets have been opened, and assets worth more than 10 million USD have been encrypted using the protocol, showcasing the increasing demand for user-centric data ownership solutions.

“$DOP is the token of Data Ownership Protocol, a project that seeks to balance transparency and privacy on the blockchain, putting users in control of their data. The listing of our utility token marks a significant milestone and enhances our vision for the future of data ownership. We are thankful to our supporters and community who have believed in our mission from day one”, said Kohji Hirokado, co-founder of DOP and ex-core member at Cardano.

Currently, the $DOP token serves two primary functions within the ecosystem: facilitating fee payments and granting community rewards. The usage of the protocol’s data ownership features incurs fees payable in DOP tokens, creating a native demand for the token.

This system incentivizes DOP token retention while implementing a deflationary mechanism through fee burning. It also rewards network supporters via staking distributions. To date, 210,000,000 DOP tokens have been allocated for staking rewards, with over 1.1 billion DOP tokens already staked.

The listing announcement comes on the heels of Bybit’s positioning as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, surpassing Coinbase and trailing only Binance. Bybit’s ascent has been remarkable, with its market share doubling from 8% to 16% since October 2023.

To communicate the plans for the second half of 2024, DOP released a new roadmap following Q1’s success. The plan introduces a $5 million developer grant program, expands protocol capabilities, and plans deployment on EVM-compatible chains beyond Ethereum, reducing gas fees and reaching more users.

Moreover, the new developer SDK will enable developers to easily integrate and build dApps within the DOP ecosystem. Other objectives aim to enhance user security for managing NFTs by expanding functionality beyond ERC-20 tokens to include encryption and decryption of NFTs.

About Data Ownership Protocol (DOP)

The Data Ownership Protocol enables users to own their data. In crypto, financial data such as holdings, balances, and transaction history is publicly available on the blockchain. The mission of DOP technology is to let users decide what to share and with whom.

DOP aims to empower individuals and businesses with more control over their data through selective transparency, utilizing zero-knowledge cryptography and other advanced technologies.
