Mastercard’s MTN (Mastercard Technology Network) will provide developers with access to tools that the credit card company has been working on throughout the year. This includes a private version of the Ethereum blockchain, where developers will be encouraged to create innovative applications. Speaking to The Fortune publication, Dhamodharan said:

“A lot of the things people cover and talk about these days in crypto are the regulatory aspects of it and all the technology and investment as an asset and so forth”.

Showering further praises for blockchain, he added that the technology is “actually quite useful.”

MasterCard’s Push Into Crypto

Financial payments giant MasterCard has also been making a strong push into crypto and confirmed its commitment once again calling it a “natural evolution” for a “wider range of payment solutions”.

“Our goal is to support the wider digital asset industry and interested parties to help fortify confidence in its future,” the company noted. MasterCard has been hard at work while expanding its footprint in the crypto market.

Mastercard has ventured into the digital asset sector with various initiatives, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs), credit and debit cards linked to cryptocurrencies, crypto infrastructure, and developer tools. They also provide products like ‘Crypto Secure,’ ‘Crypto Source,’ and ‘Crypto Credential’ to enhance transparency and trust in this field. The programs and applications on their new ‘app store’ can be written in Solidity, the programming language of Ethereum.

Over time, MasterCard plans to make MTN available to additional markets worldwide.

Bybit seeks crypto license in Hong Kong

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has applied for a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license in Hong Kong, according to regulatory filings. Bybit has joined the list of 14 applicants seeking a license from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to offer services in Hong Kong. According to the regulatory filing submitted on Jan. 31, Bybit wants to offer services in the region through Spark Fintech Limited. The timing and approval status of Bybit’s application by the SFC remains unclear, as other crypto businesses, including OKX, are still awaiting regulatory approval. Thus far, only two companies, OSL Exchange and HashKey Exchange, have received a crypto trading license from the SFC. As of press time, Bybit has not issued any public statements regarding the application.

The crypto market rally of 2024 has already featured many of the hallmarks of a cryptocurrency bull market, including the release of multiple new coins and tokens, a new all-time high (ATH) for Bitcoin (BTC), and various stories of rapid wealth-building. The most recent of the rags-to-riches stories came late on June 6 when data from Solscan revealed that an insider acquired more than 190 million Hulkmania (HULK) – 19% of the total circulating supply – at the cost of just 7.1 Solana (SOL), worth $1,200 at the time.  The trade enabled them to, within a mere three hours , sell the 190 million HULK for more than 5,760 SOL – worth just under $1 million at the time.

BlockFi said selling its cryptocurrency lending platform might not generate value for creditors. Disgruntled creditors of the bankrupt cryptocurrency lending firm BlockFi have submitted a new court filing in response to the company’s latest restructuring plan. On May 12, BlockFi outlined its Chapter 11 plan of reorganization in a filing with the United States Bankruptcy Court in Trenton, New Jersey. The firm said that selling BlockFi might not generate enough value for creditors as it owes nearly $1.3 billion to its top 50 creditors . In response, BlockFi creditors submitted another court filing on May 15, arguing that BlockFi deliberately took measures to delay the trial. Represented by the law firm Brown Rudnick, BlockFi creditors wrote that BlockFi sold about $240 million worth of crypto before filing for bankruptcy in late November 2022. The creditors emphasized that the crypto lender sold the assets “at the nadir,” referring to a massive market slump following the collapse of F...
