Let's look through the website and conduct some research before leaping to conclusions. π§
πΈ Did the #IMF make any comments regarding #DCMA?
πΈ Will this be the end of #XRP?
Let's find out in this π§΅π
[2/16] The Digital Currency Monetary Authority is making moves and expanding its reach through Twitter with its Unicoin network and #UMU, the native Unicoin.
βΉοΈ Who are they and what do they offer?
[3/16] β βΉοΈ β 1β£ #DCMA & #Unicoin β
πΈ Founder working on Unicoin since 2013, yet LinkedIn says 2018
πΈ Just 2 employees
πΈ They refer to themselves as a business, yet there is no registered corporate structure
[4/16] β βΉοΈ β 2β£ #DCMA & #Unicoin β
πΈ There is no visible whitepaper
πΈ There is no contact page
πΈ There are no terms of use
πΈ There is no privacy policy
πΈ They see no legal risks
πΈ There are no open roles
πΈ There are no developer resources
πΈ There are no licenses
[5/16] β βΉοΈ β 3β£ #DCMA & #Unicoin β
π§ They claim to have collaborated with the #UN and #WEF on project "#Yetta," but no mention of #DCMA, Unicoin, or UMU is made.
β‘οΈ The basic explanation is that the DLT was formerly known as "Yetta blockchain," which is now extinct.
Do you believe that's all there is to it?
The very best is yet to come. π
This website contains information regarding open standards that they believe are vital.
What you should expect:
πΈ ISO
πΈ IETF
πΈ W3C
What they released:

[7/16] β 1β£ Darrell Hubbard (Founding Member and Executive Director) β
You might ask about the founder's background.
Fortunately, he registered on gbaglobal.org and copied and pasted his whole bio into the "Summary of Experience" section.
[8/16] β 2β£ Darrell Hubbard (Founding Member and Executive Director) β
As we go into his background, we will quickly find that there is a third name that is used, this time in conjunction with the "Unicoin" network, the so-called:
π Is for financial service providers to onboard branches, bankers and agents
πΈ No registration
πΈ Passwords can only be typed in cleartext since the "eye" does not work
πΈ "Forgot Password" leads to "register," which blocks access
π Prov. can handle customer TX issues via email, audio and video conference
πΈ By clicking on β, users will be sent to smartertools.com
πΈ #DCMA anticipates that central banks will use this chat server for customer service
[12/16] β The interconnection β
From what I've gathered, this is most likely how it evolved over time in Mr. Hubbard's world:
1β£ Yetta Blockchain ICO failed
> Rebrand to Unicoin network
2β£ Yubi Stablecoin got no traction
> Rebrand to UMU
3β£ Form. of DCMA to market credibility
[13/16] β Did the #IMF make any comments regarding #DCMA? β
There are no official remarks from the IMF addressing their position on DCMA and its stablecoin UMU.
The TL;DR is that pDomains are restricted environments on the XRPL that let users with permission use certain functions within the domain, like a DEX, in case the user owns the correct credentials. π§
[1/π§΅] The bullrun seems to be just around the corner, and everyone is teasing us with yield and XRPFi protocols. π§
Regardless of whether you decide to hold or sell...
Let's take a look at "Lending" and check if it's worth it. π
[2/14] β 1β£ Money Markets β
Before we do just that, let's quickly clarify a specific word first.
Behind the terms "Lending" and "Borrowing" actually hides another term that you will see from time to time:
πΈ Money Markets
[3/14] β 2β£ Money Markets β
Besides AMMs, lending is currently the most important pillar for on-chain DeFi, as it removes the middleman in the pooling, management, and lending of funds.
The goal? π€¨
Positive yield or in other words, interest on the liquidity you provide.
[1/π§΅] A MASSIVE attack on the JavaScript ecosystem is currently underway. βΉοΈ
Since JavaScript is at the heart of what we use every day to browse the internet, you MUST be extra vigilant.
Let's take a look at a possible solution for the XRP ecosystem. ππ§΅
[2/13] β 1β£ First things first β
Although the entire JavaScript ecosystem is at risk, the malware appears to be targeting only a few blockchain ecosystems, based on the addresses it uses to steal funds:
βΌοΈ At risk π
[3/13] β 2β£ First things first β
The reason this is such a big deal is because of the sheer volume of weekly downloads of the maliciously patched packages.
[1/π§΅] You've probably heard about new yield opportunities with XRP that promise a return of around 20% APY. π§
How much truth is there to this, and what happens if you actually connect to @moremarketsxyz and deposit funds? π
[2/14] β 1β£ First things first β
π I want you to repeat after me:
"I will not deposit all my XRP into completely new DeFi protocols right after their launch, no matter the yield"
[3/14] β 2β£ First things first β
When you join any DeFi protocol, start with very small amounts (e.g., 1 XRP) to get a feel for how things work, and try to regularly withdraw everything to test whether you can realize your profits with the protocol or not. π
[1/π§΅] What's still upcoming and in the pipeline for the XRP Ledger? π§
My attempt to summarize what the brilliant @aanchalmalhotre "casually" laid out in a 25-minute talk at XRPL Apex this year. π
[2/15] β 1β£ Key-Challenges β
Privacy and compliance are at odds with each other, and balance is key.
A lot of what the TradFi world is used to and expects still doesn't exist or is purposefully different in blockchains, like transparent transactions or low confidentiality.
[3/15] β 2β£ Key-Challenges β
Institutions also expect their on-chain operations, aka transactions, to be highly customizable and controllable because of factors like internal risk management.
π They expect the XRPL to be programmable for their dedicated policies.
