On November 16th, Roscosmos, the Russian state space corporation, announced that Russian cosmonaut Alexei Zubritsky successfully completed a transaction on the Russian "State Service" website aboard the International Space Station using biometric technology. Zubritsky logged into the website from space using biometrics and completed a transaction that prohibited the application for a mobile phone SIM card, a process that took only 30 seconds. After completing this transaction, even if someone possesses Zubritskys identification, they will not be able to apply for a mobile phone SIM card in his name. "State Service" is a government service portal created by the Russian government, where users can apply for drivers licenses, book doctor appointments, pay taxes, and process paperwork online. The website can be accessed using a username and password or facial recognition.On November 16th, it was reported that U.S. federal officials confirmed on the 15th that they had increased enforcement efforts against undocumented immigrants in Charlotte, North Carolina. On the same day, federal law enforcement officers conducted arrests at multiple locations, drawing strong opposition from local government and residents. Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin stated in a statement that they were deploying additional Homeland Security law enforcement personnel to Charlotte.According to TASS, Russian air defense systems shot down 57 Ukrainian drones last night.On November 16, it was reported that Li Baian, former member of the Party Committee and Vice President of China Merchants Group Limited, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and is currently under disciplinary review and supervisory investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission.On November 16th, according to the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Rehn stated that the risk of slowing inflation should not be ignored. Low energy prices, a stronger euro, and declining wage and service sector inflation all suggest that overall inflation may be excessively below the ECBs 2% target. When asked if the ECB might cut interest rates again in December, Rehn said, "This risk cannot be underestimated." However, he also cautioned against the potential for rising inflation. Rehn stated that despite the Trump administrations tariff policies disrupting global trade, the Eurozone economy has shown resilience. Rehn also warned that the stock market "clearly faces the risk of a correction," emphasizing the importance of bank capital buffers. Driven by the US artificial intelligence boom, current stock prices appear high relative to the performance of the real economy and corporate profits. This requires caution.

USDC to Replace Terra Stablecoin on Cosmos Network

Today, USD Coin (USDC-USD) is experiencing a lot of positive with very little negative. One the one hand, the stablecoin is losing out since Binance (BNB-USD) is ceasing to support it. However, it currently seems like USDC will play a significant part in the Cosmos (ATOM-USD) ecosystem, replacing the very volatile TerraClassicUSD (USTC-USD). The announcement is only one piece of a multi-chain expansion that will significantly strengthen USDC's position in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi).


In fact, during the last several weeks, USDC has had to deal with some fairly discouraging news. The biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance, is discontinuing support for USDC trading on its platform along with a number of other features. The action is a part of Binance's endeavor to boost adoption of its Binance USD (BUSD-USD) stablecoin.


The de-listing that USDC is facing does not go completely. Money is still possible for users to add USDC to their Binance accounts and withdraw it in the same way. However, Binance will automatically convert USDC into BUSD for trading when a customer deposits USDC. As one of the few stablecoins still accessible for trading on the app, this increases the liquidity of BUSD. Effectively, this won't affect USDC users, but it will negatively impact USDC trading volumes.


This crucial transformation for the exchange is now starting to happen. Additionally, USDC is already seeing an immediate impact; the stablecoin's market capitalisation is falling by 5%. The business that creates USDC, Circle, is resisting the bearishness, however. Investor attention is being drawn by the company's significant update.

Expanding to Five New Blockchains, USDC

Despite the bad Binance news for USDC, Circle is reassuring its customers by revealing a bevy of positive developments. Most notably, the stablecoin is playing a significant part in one of the most well-liked dapp ecosystems. The cooperation is only one of the stablecoin's five upcoming expansions into other blockchains.


Although the Cosmos network has been in turmoil for the most of the year, nothing has affected it more than Terra's demise (LUNA-USD). The Terra network was formerly the Cosmos ecosystem's biggest undertaking. Additionally, every DeFi app inside that ecosystem used its stablecoin, currently known as USTC. But many of those dapps had to switch to less safe stablecoin assets as the price de-pegged and started to spiral out of control.


Developers and Circle are working together to give USDC the position that USTC formerly had in an effort to bring Cosmos back to the level of popularity it enjoyed before the Terra debacle. In order to provide DeFi applications with a more secure stablecoin via which users can borrow, lend, and stake, Circle will be producing USDC natively on the Cosmos network. Additionally, it will lessen the necessity for users to transfer stablecoins through blockchain bridges to the network. Given that crypto bridges are among the least secure methods of moving assets, this is a significant positive.


However, Circle isn't stopping there. Four more blockchains will also get native USDC from the corporation. These are Arbitrum (ARR-USD), Near (NEAR-USD), Optimism (OP-USD), and Polkadot (DOT-USD). Even in the face of the negative news, Circle CEO Joao Reginatto hails the expansion as a major success for the firm, stating it would "enable institutions, exchanges, developers, and more to innovate and have easier access to a trustworthy and reliable digital currency."
