OpenSea has rolled out its new OS2 marketplace, bringing fresh features like point-based trading rewards and support for multiple asset types, including fungible tokens. This upgrade aims to keep OpenSea ahead of competitors like Blur and Magic Eden, while setting the stage for its upcoming SEA token.

OS2 – a more versatile marketplace than OpenSea

OS2 is a complete makeover of OpenSea’s platform, designed to be faster and more user-friendly. One of the biggest changes is that you can now trade not just NFTs but also ERC20 tokens across 19 different blockchains. This includes popular 

 like Flow, ApeChain, Berachain, and Soneium, making it easier to buy and sell a wide range of digital assets all in one place.

The platform also supports cross-chain purchases, meaning you can use ETH in your wallet to buy 

 on other blockchains without the hassle of manually moving assets around. This streamlines the whole process and opens up more opportunities for collectors and traders.

To make trading more engaging, OpenSea has introduced “Voyages,” a rewards program built on the XP system from OS2’s beta phase. Users earn XP points for activities like listing items, making offers, sharing galleries, or trying out new chains. XP updates instantly and is visible on your profile, encouraging users to dive deeper into OS2’s features.

Voyages are designed to reward everyone, no matter how big or small their trades are, making it fun and rewarding to explore what OS2 has to offer.

OpenSea holds over 40% of the market share

Since OS2’s public launch earlier this year, OpenSea has regained its spot as the top 

 marketplace, holding over 40% of the market share. This is impressive given the overall slowdown in the NFT space and comes as Blur and Magic Eden hold smaller shares.

Data shows that nearly 70% of active NFT wallets have used OpenSea recently, confirming strong user loyalty and engagement. This suggests that while casual users may have stepped back, dedicated collectors are sticking around and making the most of OS2’s new multi-chain and multi-asset features.

OpenSea’s SEA Token – when will it launch?

Another upcoming development in the OpenSea ecosystem is the planned SEA token, which is expected to boost user engagement and add new layers to trading and rewards on OpenSea. The token will be airdropped to early users who earn XP through Voyages. The exact date for the launch hasn’t been set yet, as the team is now focused on rolling out key features first to ensure a smooth launch.

With OS2, OpenSea is evolving from a simple 

 marketplace into a versatile hub for all kinds of digital assets, complete with rewards and cross-chain trading. This comprehensive offering keeps the platform competitive against Blur and Magic Eden and sets the stage for the SEA token.

Thailand's regulator has come down heavy on five of the nation's biggest cryptocurrency exchanges: OKX, Bybit, CoinEx, 1000X, and XT.COM and ordered them to pack up shop by June 28, 2025.

The move, justified as part of a crackdown on illicit business and money laundering, is already sending shockwaves through the region's crypto community.

The Thai SEC cited the platforms as being in operation in Thailand without local licenses under the Royal Decree on Digital Asset Businesses. Official complaints were lodged with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES), which can now block access under new anti-cybercrime laws implemented in April. The SEC warning to investors was blunt: transfer your assets before closure or risk losing legal protection.

Mapping the Exodus: Capital Flight in Real Time

On-chain data already showed a spike in withdrawals by wallets of Thai origin that are linked to the hacked exchanges. Nansen and Arkham Intelligence statistics have shown that, within 48 hours of the SEC reveal, over $120 million worth of BTC, ETH, and USDT were taken out of OKX and Bybit wallets labeled with Thai user accounts. The capital flight serves as a reminder of the need for traders to hedge their assets before the blackout date.

The SEC action follows a string of amendments to Thailand's cybercrime and digital asset law that give regulators greater authority to close down illegal sites and also pursue offshore sellers offering to Thai customers. Exchanges need to register, with a Thai entity, pass rigorous capital tests (50M THB, or approximately $1.4M USD), and meet domestic AML/KYC standards to be legal.

Local lawyers call Southeast Asia's fragmented licensing system ripe for change. "Thailand takes a hard line, but a lack of regional harmonization has capital and users simply move across the border to the next easy-going jurisdiction," says crypto attorney Somchai Phanich. "MiCAR in the EU is becoming the template because it weighs innovation against robust consumer protection and integrity of market."

What's Next for Thai Crypto Users and the Region?

For the time being, Thai investors are rushing to withdraw capital and seek compliant platforms. The SEC has encouraged the public to verify its official list of approved exchanges and cautioned that assets on non-approved platforms are not insured under Thai law.

As Southeast Asian regulators watch the situation unfold, if legal uncertainty and capital flight persist, the region will see pressure building for single, MiCAR-style regulations to preclude regulatory arbitrage and restore investor confidence.

Thailand's move to ban OKX, Bybit, and three others marks a new era of regulatory seriousness in Southeast Asia.

As capital flees and lawsuits escalate, the region is at a crossroads: keep playing regulatory whack-a-mole, or implement a concerted, MiCAR-type response to the next phase of crypto growth.

Stay tuned — Southeast Asia's crypto destiny is being rewritten in real time.

PSG's Crypto Bet: Why the Club Bet the House on Bitcoin

While the City of Light buzzes with excitement ahead of the Champions League Final, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has hijacked the headlines off the pitch. In a gesture as bold as a late bicycle kick, the French football behemoth has revealed it possesses a significant Bitcoin coffers making news mere days before the biggest match of the year.

The news broke early on Friday morning when PSG official sources made a release that stunned both the sporting and the crypto communities. "We've been proud for a long time to be pioneers," said PSG financial director Jean-Claude Blanc at a crowded press conference that included both sporting writers and crypto celebrities. "Today, we confirm that Bitcoin will be included in our gamebook.".

For PSG, however, this is not just a headline generator. The team has amassed some 

— worth approximately $8.2 million at current prices—over the past two seasons quietly. According to insiders, the decision was many months in the making, with PSG's coffers keeping an eye on both the crypto universe and the shifting nature of European football economies.

While other clubs have experimented with crypto assets through sponsorships or NFT drops, PSG's move is different. This is a balance sheet move, not marketing. "We see Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and a hedge against volatility in the euro, especially as so many of our transfers and agreements cross borders," Blanc said, his voice echoing in Parc des Princes' marble corridors.

Football is an international business, and no clubs know it better than PSG. On an annual basis, the club makes millions of dollars worth of transactions, remitting South American superstars or negotiating with agents in London, Madrid, or Doha. Legacy banking rails are uncompetitive and expensive—sometimes charging millions of dollars in FX fees and time.

That's where Bitcoin enters the picture. PSG crunched numbers on a theoretical €100 million transfer, making a mock settlement with BTC. The payoff? As much as €2 million in fee savings alone. 

"It's enough to support a youth academy or cover a rising star's salary for a year," stated an unnamed club executive. "It's not only savvy finance — it's a competitive advantage."

Fan Reactions, $PSG Token Buzz, and What's Next for Football

PSG's bravery is already resonating throughout football. Though American franchises like the Sacramento Kings have experimented, no European club of PSG's caliber has accounted for Bitcoin on its balance sheet at least not yet. Other clubs are poised in the wings, and whispers of "crypto treasuries" are spoken in boardrooms from Turin to Manchester.

Fan-token analysts are also buzzing. The $PSG fan token, which struggled through most of the season, saw 30% volume growth after the news of Bitcoin.

"This could be the start of a new era for fan interaction," Twitter user wrote. "If PSG's crypto bet is successful on the field, watch for a wave of copycats."

With the Champions League Final on the horizon, PSG's Bitcoin gamble is more than a money note — it's a declaration about football's future. Will others imitate? Will watchdogs notice? And above all, will PSG's crypto bravado be repaid in silverware?

For now, the city waits with bated breath, the fans chant, and deep in the club's digital vaults, 120 BTC silently proclaim a new era for the beautiful game.

 is making every effort to tap the global stablecoin space, with three fiat-backed tokens: EURØP (euro), XSGD (Singapore dollar), and USDB (US dollar for Brazil) launching this week, each for their home markets but built for international adoption. 

This move not only corroborates XRPL's rising appeal for regulated issuers but serves as a shot across the bow that Ripple intends to take on entrenched stablecoin hubs such as Tron and Stellar for compliance and functionality.

Paris-headquartered central bank-licensed Schuman Financial unveiled EURØP as the first MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin on XRPL. Every token is fully collateralized by stored euros in well-known European banks such as Société Générale and is frequently audited by KPMG to ensure transparency and trust. EURØP is registered as an electronic money token under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) rule, which requires full reserve backing and tight governance — conditions that are rapidly becoming the standard for stablecoins in Europe.

Brazil's Braza Group issued USDB, a USD-pegged stablecoin designed to supplement its earlier Brazilian real-backed token, BBRL. USDB is backed by United States and Brazilian government bonds and expects to capture a major share of Brazil's USD stablecoin market within the coming year. The token is designed for institutional and retail consumers and acts as a hedge against local currency volatility while enabling faster, lower-cost digital payments particularly for remittances and cross-border trade.

StraitsX, the Southeast Asia payment infrastructure leader, has listed XSGD, a Singapore dollar-backed stablecoin, on XRPL. Fully backed by reserves at DBS Bank and Standard Chartered, XSGD is already present in considerable numbers on various blockchains. Its listing on XRPL will surely inspire adoption by fintech startups, developers, and financial institutions that need rapid, programmable, and compliant cross-border payments.

What sets XRPL apart is that it has a natively integrated decentralized exchange (DEX) and novel "Hooks" protocol upgrade, facilitating automated market making and custom smart contract logic at the protocol level. What this means is that newer stablecoins like EURØP, USDB, and XSGD can be traded immediately, paired, and utilized in DeFi applications without the lag of third-party smart contract deployment. The XRPL DEX auto-bridging feature additionally fosters liquidity by allowing low-cost, instant swapping between XRP, stablecoins, and other assets in a matter of seconds.

MiCA, the EU's blanket crypto regulation, is transforming the stablecoin environment by mandating full reserve backing, routine audits, and rigorous operational transparency. EURØP's launch puts XRPL in the frame as a compliant network for networks such as Tron, which are yet to witness major MiCA-compliant euro stablecoins. As EU exchanges start delisting non-compliant tokens, MiCA-approved assets such as EURØP stand to grab institutional and retail demand for regulated, euro-denominated digital money.

Ripple's Competitive Edge: XRPL over Tron and Stellar

While Tron dominates stablecoin volumes in emerging markets and Stellar is renowned for open-access remittances, Ripple's XRPL is carving out a niche among regulated institutions and commerce. The benefits of XRPL include fast and low-cost settlement, a native DEX with liquidation, regulatory tooling for compliance-focused issuers, and tokenized real-world asset and DeFi support.

In contrast with Stellar, which prioritizes decentralization and user access, Ripple prioritizes connecting traditional finance with blockchain strength making XRRL a go-to destination for banks, fintechs, and regulated stablecoin issuers.

The launch of these three stablecoins — all backed by strong institutions and built for regulatory suitability marks a new chapter for Ripple DeFi and cross-border payments. Since remittances and global trade demand speed, openness, and transparency across rails, XRPL's stablecoin ecosystem is now poised to serve as building blocks for the next generation of on-chain, compliant, and borderless financial innovation.

Now that the stablecoin fray is heating up, Ripple's XRPL is no longer just a contender — it's paving the way for regulated, real-world cryptocurrency.

, the token that powers Ripple's global payments network, is one of the most widely held coins. But when it comes to knowing exactly how many hold XRP, the response isn't as cut-and-dry as it appears at first glance. The story of XRP ownership isn't simply about numbers — it's about distribution, scope, and the evolving crypto landscape.

The XRP Ledger is a public ledger, and therefore anyone can see how many wallets hold XRP. On the surface, there are millions of active XRP accounts. Collectively, they hold the overwhelming majority of XRP's circulating supply.

Nevertheless, not all wallets belong to a unique person. The majority of people and organizations hold XRP in multiple wallets, and large exchanges have hundreds of thousands of addresses for their users. Hence, the number of unique XRP holders is lower than the number of wallets, but it is a figure that breaks across the globe and reaches the millions.

In contrast to the widespread presence of 

, token possession is highly concentrated. Ripple Labs, the company behind the issuer of the XRP Ledger, owns the majority of the issuing supply, much of which is held back in escrow to manage releases on the market. This makes Ripple by far the largest singular holder.

Outside Ripple, giant crypto exchanges have custody of gigantic amounts of XRP for their clients. Institutional investors and so-called "whales" — organizations or individuals with gigantic sums of tokens along with the giant exchanges, have a considerable percent of the total XRP in existence. The largest wallets dominate, with a few addresses controlling the majority of tokens.

Despite this concentration, the XRP base is diverse. Retail investors worldwide own XRP for trading, investment, and settlement in Ripple's payment network. For others, the speed and cost of XRP's transactions are appealing for cross-border payments and everyday transactions.

Institutional interest, too, is high. Most asset managers, family offices, and banks have XRP in their portfolios, seeing it as a means of diversification and getting exposure to the digital payments industry. For others, the utility and maturity of XRP make it one of the more appealing alternatives to Ethereum and Bitcoin.

The high concentration of so many XRP in a handful of wallets is good and bad. On the one hand, the large players like Ripple and major exchanges holding humongous quantities can be market stabilizers and ensure liquidity in the market. On the other hand, it is cause for concern regarding price manipulation and danger of huge sell-offs on the market.

This structure has also attracted regulatory scrutiny. There has been debate among officials as to whether the model of distribution of XRP makes it a security, and ongoing legal debates are still influencing the manner in which institutions and individuals utilize the asset.

Although these issues impact it, XRP benefits from a widespread and active user base. Its role as an efficient, fast bridge currency for cross-border transactions has attracted holders from lone speculators to major banks. The number of wallets continues to rise, indicating continued interest and adoption, while controversy over centralization and regulation lingers on.

While it is impossible to get an accurate count of unique holders of XRP due to the nature of custodial ownership and blockchain wallets, no one disputes the fact that XRP is incredibly large and global in presence. The majority of XRP remains in the hands of a handful of giant players — Ripple Labs, the major exchanges, and the institutions. This compels both the threats and opportunities for XRP as it circumvents regulatory hurdles and gains increased acceptance in the world of digital payments.

In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain technology, PulseChain has emerged as a disruptive innovation with the potential to revolutionize the industry. PulseChain, created by 

 cryptocurrency, is a full-blown hard fork of Ethereum that promises to solve some of the most pressing problems facing developers and users alike.

As Ethereum continues to struggle with high transaction fees and scalability issues, the need for efficient and effective alternatives has never been greater. PulseChain aims to offer a faster, greener, and more cost-effective solution, positioning itself not just as an "Ethereum killer" but as an "Ethereum helper".

PulseChain Price Prediction: What is PulseChain?

PulseChain is an innovative blockchain platform designed to offer a more efficient, scalable and cost-effective alternative to Ethereum. At its core, PulseChain is a full-blown Ethereum hard-fork, meaning it replicates the entire Ethereum blockchain, including all of its tokens, NFTs, and smart contracts. This allows users to seamlessly transition to PulseChain without losing their existing assets, providing an immediate and substantial user base for the new network. 

The main goal of PulseChain is to empower the Ethereum network by addressing its biggest challenges, such as high transaction fees and slow processing times. The current pulsechain sentiment within the community is largely positive, with many perceiving the project’s potential to significantly impact the crypto market by offering a more efficient and cost-effective solution.

PulseChain is inspired by Richard Hart, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency world known for his creation of HEX, a blockchain-based certificate of deposit with high interest rates. Richard Hart’s vision for PulseChain is to create a blockchain that not only reflects the state of Ethereum, but enhances it with advanced features and optimizations. 

His extensive experience and influence in the crypto space has been instrumental in the design and implementation of PulseChain. Market capitalization can fluctuate rapidly due to various factors, including supply and demand dynamics, regulatory events, and the activities of large holders ('whales'), emphasizing its significance in the relatively small market of these cryptocurrencies.

PulseChain introduces several key features and innovations that differentiate it from other Ethereum alternatives. One of the most significant innovations is the use of the Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism, which combines elements of share proof and authority-based verification to provide a more energy-efficient and scalable network. This shift from Ethereum’s energy-intensive proof-of-work model to PoSA drastically reduces the environmental impact of blockchain transactions.

In addition, PulseChain boasts faster transaction speeds, and blockchain time is reduced to three seconds compared to 15 seconds in Ethereum. This enhancement not only improves the user experience, but also significantly reduces transaction fees, making the network more accessible to a wider audience. 

In addition, PulseChain’s unique approach to mirroring the entire state of the Ethereum system means that users can enjoy all the benefits of their existing Ethereum assets while taking advantage of PulseChain’s improved performance and lower costs. These features combine to position PulseChain as a formidable player in the blockchain space, capable of supporting a wide range of decentralized applications and services.

PulseChain is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that leverages the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to deliver a fast, secure, and energy-efficient network. The current price of PLS is a key factor for investors considering the potential growth of the platform. Designed to cater to a wide array of applications, PulseChain is particularly well-suited for decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and gaming. 

The platform’s native token, PLS, plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, being used for transaction fees, staking, and governance. This multifaceted approach ensures that PulseChain not only provides a robust infrastructure for developers but also offers a seamless and cost-effective experience for users.
