This platform has just taken a big step to becoming a true crypto super app
An app that brings crypto and fiat together in one place has unveiled a suite of major improvements — and can now be used in the U.S. and Canada.
An app that cuts out middlemen and mediators to put the power of personal finance in your hands has unveiled a major upgrade.
Blockbank says the plethora of improvements and new features coming with V3 will be hugely beneficial to crypto newcomers, as well as experienced investors.
An upgraded user interface delivers an easy, elegant and clean way of accessing centralized finance, decentralized finance and neobanking services in one place.
Know Your Customer (KYC) checks are also being sped up, and support for driving licenses means it'll be even faster than ever.
The on-and-offramp that links fiat and crypto now delivers low fees too — with research continually suggesting that this is a particular pain point for investors.
But perhaps most significant of all is the news that blockbank will now be open to users in the U.S. and Canada for the first time — unlocking access to a vibrant, important market. Read More
Now Anyone Can Create an Ethereum NFT DAO With Zora’s Nouns Builder
Zora’s new no-code tool makes it easier to create a DAO funded by NFT auctions, following the model established by hit project Nouns.
Zora has launched Nouns Builder, a no-code tool for creating a Web3 organization powered and funded through NFT auctions.
Nouns has raised tens of millions of dollars in Ethereum through NFT sales as it expands its open-source IP.
Ethereum project Nouns created a new kind of on-chain organization, using a daily NFT auction to cultivate community and open-source IP—and has raised tens of millions of dollars worth of ETH to date.
Now, NFT platform Zora is expanding that model, empowering almost anyone to create an NFT-driven DAO for nearly any project.
Nouns Builder is Zora’s new tool to create a Nouns-like Web3 organization, using auctions of NFT artwork, collectibles, and access passes to raise money for a treasury that buyers control. It’s a no-code, turnkey solution that is open source and free to use, with the intent of making it easy for Ethereum DAOs to launch and hit the ground running.
The development of Nouns Builder is very much in line with Web3’s decentralized ethos: Nouns itself started as a fork of Zora’s auction house system, Zora co-founder Jacob Horne told Decrypt. Now Zora has taken the Nouns model and made it more accessible to creators without needing an engineer to fork and modify existing code (which other projects have done). Read More

Binance CEO: Crypto Is the 'Only Stable Thing' Amid Financial Turmoil
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao took to the stage at Web Summit to discuss regulators, the crypto crash, and Elon Musk's unpredictability.
Despite a crypto crash that has seen Bitcoin tumble over 70% from $69,000 to its current value of around $20,000, Binance CEO Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao argued that cryptocurrency is "probably the only stable thing in this very dynamic environment."
Speaking on stage at Web Summit in Lisbon, Zhao argued that while crypto prices are volatile, "if you look at the technology, if if you look at the fundamentals of cryptocurrencies, limited supply, nothing has changed."
He added that, "It has been the most stable thing, technology-wise, in this turmoil situation."
Zhao also discussed the current state of crypto regulation in the wake of Binance's push to secure licenses in countries including France, Spain Bahrain and Abu Dhabi. Describing regulators in those territories as "smart," CZ added that, "Actually, the U.S. regulators are pretty good," singling out the level of banking support for crypto exchanges in the country.
Using the automated clearing house protocol, he said, crypto exchanges in the U.S. "can deduct money from the user's bank account automatically each month without user intervention. Other parts of the world, we don't get that level of banking support just yet." Read More
Cornucopias Migrates Tokens To Cardano Via ChainPort Partnership
As more developments take shape within the blockchain industry, we see more cross-chain access for various digital assets. For consumers, this means being able to access the assets that they prefer via very convenient channels. One of the latest of these comes from Cornucopias, which previously, Cornucopias had deployed its native contract on Ethereum to the BNB chain a few months ago using ChainPort and is now doing the same from Ethereum to Cardano.
With this development, those who use its native COPI token can move it across the three blockchains with ease.
Cornucopias Offering More Flexibility:
ChainPort, on its part, has been working towards creating more market access to the Cardano chain and just completed onboarding of support for the chain. Acting as a cross-chain bridge, ChainPort is working towards creating more transaction speed and security within the industry and is collaborating with forward-thinking projects to do so.
Cornucopias has proven to be one of these as it is one of the first blockchain projects to offer Cardano assets transfer using ChainPort. This is very significant because Cardano is one of the biggest blockchains on the planet, going toe-to-toe with the likes of Ethereum and being especially popular among blockchain gaming fans.

Unstoppable Domains launches Web3 alliance and seeks self-regulating boards
The cross-chain coalition includes Bonfida, Tezos Domains, Polkadot Name System, Hedera, Syscoin, and Klaytn Name Service.
Interoperability in Web3 domains is now a priority for a cross-chain coalition of leading blockchain and Web3 players that has formed the Web3 Domain Alliance, announced on Nov. 2 at the Web Summit in Lisbon.
Sandy Carter, senior vice president and channel chief at Unstoppable Domains, told Cointelegraph that the group will work together to protect the naming space on Web3:
“There's not an ICANN [Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers] for Web3. We don't think there should be. We think there should be some sort of self-regulating in the spirit and ethos of Web3. We think there should be a group like that, that helps to discuss and talk about that. That's the group that we have just announced today.”
The alliance aims to prevent malicious phishing attacks, bad actors impersonating Web3 “top-level domains,” cybersquatting and Web3 domain collisions. Participants also include Bonfida, Tezos Domains, Polkadot Name System, Hedera, Syscoin, and Klaytn Name Service. "We invited all naming services to join us," stated Carter. Read More
