BTTC Acclaimed by Cointelegraph and CryptoRank for Ecosystem Innovation

BitTorrent Chain

Singapore - August 16, 2024 - Recent reports from both Cointelegraph and CryptoRank have shed light on BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and its integral role within the BitTorrent ecosystem. These analyses highlight BTTC's innovations, its pivotal contributions to various BitTorrent products, and its evolving position in the broader blockchain landscape. BTTC stands as a cornerstone of the BitTorrent ecosystem, supporting the original BitTorrent torrent tracker, the Bittorrent Filesystem (BTFS), and the DLive streaming platform. Its role extends beyond mere infrastructure; it operates as a cross-chain multi-layer protocol that ensures seamless asset interoperability across Ethereum, TRON, and BNB Chain. This capability distinguishes BTTC from traditional single-chain solutions, offering a scalable, high-throughput platform that addresses critical challenges in blockchain scalability and integration. The recent Cointelegraph report titled “BitTorrent Chain's Bridging Breakthroughs in H1 2024: Unlocking Tron's Potential” underscores BTTC's architectural prowess, featuring a multi-chain proof-of-stake (PoS) model and EVM-compatible side-chains derived from Tendermint software. This setup enables BTTC to achieve high throughput, low block times, and minimal transaction costs. The platform's sophisticated bridging mechanism, which includes a classic lock-and-mint model, facilitates asset transfers across TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, with support for over 75 token mappings. Additionally, relayer services enhance the user experience by providing faster withdrawals and reducing transaction fees. CryptoRank's report named “State of BitTorrent Chain H1 2024” complements this by detailing the extensive utility of the $BTT token. Beyond its use for gas fees, $BTT facilitates faster file distribution, rewards validators, supports BTFS storage payments, and serves various functions within the BitTorrent ecosystem, including as collateral on JustLend DAO and a perpetual asset on SUN.io. It even holds legal tender status in Dominica. Despite the shifting dynamics with the rise of cloud storage and streaming services, BitTorrent remains a significant player with over 170 million active users and substantial annual revenue. The first half of 2024 has been marked by several milestones for BTTC. According to CryptoRank, these include listings on major exchanges like Bitfinex, Mercado Bitcoin, and Bitci Borsa, an official partnership with HTX DAO, and integration with DEXTools. These achievements reflect BTTC's ongoing evolution and its capacity to adapt to emerging trends, such as decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and potential Bitcoin integrations. Both reports highlight BTTC's strategic importance in enhancing blockchain interoperability and scaling solutions. The platform not only facilitates seamless transfers of mainstream assets across multiple blockchains but also serves as a robust foundation for Web3 applications. As BTTC continues to expand its ecosystem and integrate with new blockchain technologies, it is poised to play a critical role in shaping the future of blockchain scalability and cross-chain interactions. About BitTorrent Chain BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) is the world’s first heterogeneous cross-chain interoperability protocol, which adopts the PoS (Proof-of-Stake) mechanism and leverages sidechains for the scaling of smart contracts. It now enables interoperability with the public chains of Ethereum, TRON, and BNB Chain. Fully compatible with EVM, BitTorrent Chain facilitates the seamless transfer of assets across mainstream public chains. The governance token BTT, also known as BTTOLD on TRON Protocol was granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the Commonwealth of Dominica on October 7th 2022.

Blue Hat Interactive (BHAT) Emerges as a Disruptive Force in the Gold Market

Akchirpy

Blue Hat Interactive Entertainment Technology (NASDAQ: BHAT) is making significant strides in the gold market, showcasing how a company with roots in entertainment can pivot and disrupt an entirely different industry. By leveraging technological innovations and forming strategic partnerships, Blue Hat is positioning itself as a leader in the evolving gold supply chain and trading ecosystem, with the potential to become a pivotal player alongside established giants like Newmont (NYSE: NEM), Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM), and Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC). A Holistic Approach in a Volatile (and Loved) Market The gold market has been heavily influenced by global economic and geopolitical factors. Central banks around the world have strategically increased their gold reserves to record levels, helping drive the precious metal’s value to new heights, peaking at over $2,483 per ounce in July 2024. Major miners like Newmont, Barrick, Agnico Eagle, and Kinross all find themselves in nice uptrends with the ascension in gold prices. Broadly speaking, gold has been cherished throughout history and across cultures for its unique combination of qualities. Its rarity and natural beauty have made it a symbol of wealth, power, and status, while its resistance to tarnish and corrosion has rendered it an enduring store of value. Gold’s malleability allows it to be shaped into intricate jewelry and artifacts, adding to its allure. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, gold has always played a crucial role in economics as a reliable medium of exchange and a hedge against inflation and financial instability. In a world of shifting currencies and economic uncertainties, gold remains a constant, universally recognized as a safe-haven asset, a timeless treasure that continues to hold its value and significance, generation after generation. Blue Hat’s innovative approach to the gold market sets it apart from traditional players. Unlike established mining juggernauts such as Newmont, Barrick Gold, Agnico Eagle Mines, and Kinross Gold, which generate revenue primarily through gold extraction and processing, Blue Hat is focusing on optimizing the entire lifecycle of gold. The company is leveraging its technological expertise to develop an intelligent gold supply chain and recycling system, encompassing everything from sourcing and recycling to trading and supply chain management. This holistic approach positions Blue Hat as a comprehensive service provider within the gold industry. Blue Hat is integrating Artificial Intelligence to enhance its offerings, including an intelligent gold supply chain and recycling system (earning the nickname “a virtual gold mining machine”), as well as a sophisticated gold derivatives trading platform, giving it multiple revenue channels. Bringing Gold to the Digital Age Headquartered in Hong Kong with operations in Shuibei, Shenzhen and Dubai, Blue Hat specializes in sourcing, refining, and trading high-quality gold. The company’s wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Golden Alpha Strategy Ltd., was recently granted Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones Category A Registration by Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department. This regulatory system, implemented by the Hong Kong government on April 1, 2023, aims to combat money laundering and terrorist financing activities, with only top-tier companies earning the important international license. Recently, Blue Hat announced a collaboration with Sichuan Jinyinghe Industrial Co., Ltd. (Jinyinghe) to establish a pioneering gold supply chain company. This partnership aims to integrate industrial resources with international financial capital to tackle some of the pressing challenges faced by the gold industry, particularly in China and other developing markets. By addressing issues such as low scale, narrow financing channels, poor operational standards, and a lack of credit data, Blue Hat and Jinyinghe are setting the stage for a transformation within the industry. One of the key components of Blue Hat’s strategy is its focus on digital trading solutions. These platforms allow traders to engage in the gold market without the need for physical storage or insurance, providing greater flexibility and the ability to capitalize on price movements efficiently. High liquidity on these platforms enables traders to swiftly enter and exit positions, contributing to the overall fluidity of the market—an advantage that could see Blue Hat profit in ways similar to the leading upstream players. Shuibei: China's Gold and Jewelry Epicenter The significance of the Shenzhen Shuibei market, where the collaboration with Jinyinghe is centered, cannot be overstated. Colloquially known as the "World's Gem City," Shuibei is a major hub for gold and jewelry trading in China, employing 70,000+ people with annual transaction volumes exceeding 1 trillion RMB. By aiming to capture more than 10% of this market within three years, Blue Hat and Jinyinghe are setting ambitious targets that, if achieved, could redefine the gold supply chain in China and generate sales of over ¥200,000,000,000 (200 billion Chinese Yuan Renminbi (RMB)). Shuibei has solidified its position as a global hub for the gold and jewelry trade. This bustling district houses thousands of businesses involved in every aspect of the industry, from manufacturing and wholesale to retail. Renowned for its vast selection of gold jewelry, gemstones, and precious metals, Shuibei attracts buyers from both domestic and international markets. The region's proximity to Hong Kong, a major financial center, has further enhanced its status as a global trading platform. While Shuibei is synonymous with gold, it's important to note that the district also caters to a broader spectrum of jewelry preferences, offering everything from traditional to contemporary designs. With its thriving market, skilled craftsmanship, and strategic location, Shuibei continues to be a driving force in the global jewelry industry, factors which bode well for Blue Hat scaling quickly and hit its sales target. Looking forward, Blue Hat aims to expand its influence in the global gold market by increasing its gold holdings, enhancing its supply chain operations, and refining its digital trading platform. These initiatives are part of the company’s broader strategy to establish itself as a leading "Smart Gold Trading Platform," targeting markets in Europe, North America, and beyond. A Savvy Foray Into the Land of Giants Blue Hat’s foray into the gold market is a testament to the company’s ability to innovate and disrupt traditional industries. By combining technological advancements with strategic partnerships, Blue Hat is not just participating in the gold market; it is reshaping it, creating new opportunities and setting new standards for how gold is traded and managed globally. Just as Newmont, Barrick Gold, Agnico Eagle Mines, and Kinross Gold have built their legacies through innovation and strategic growth, Blue Hat has the potential to carve out its own niche and become a significant player in the future of gold trade.
