Despite promises from past prime ministers to turn the UK into a crypto hub, the UK is still cautious about regulating the crypto industry. In 2022, then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promised to amend laws governing the crypto industry in the UK, making them friendlier to blockchain businesses.

Layer-2 blockchain network Build on Bitcoin (BOB) has rolled out a major technical upgrade that brings it closer to getting a fully decentralized mark on L2Beat, a platform that ranks the maturity and decentralization of layer-2 networks. BOB, which aims to bring Ethereum-style decentralized finance (DeFi) capabilities to Bitcoin, has implemented zero-knowledge (ZK) fraud proofs within an optimistic rollup framework. This means that BOB is using an optimistic rollup structure but replaces the traditional and slow fraud-checking process with faster ZK fraud proofs,  a shift that allows transaction disputes to be resolved in minutes using cryptographic proofs.The new implementation aims to lower…

Key Takeaways XRP’s recent surge in popularity has triggered a wave of sophisticated scams, including deepfake videos and impersonation schemes, prompting fresh warnings from Ripple. As Bitcoin [BTC] basks in the spotlight with record adoption and surging prices, Ripple [XRP] is finding itself at the center of a far more troubling narrative. Last week, XRP not only hit a new all-time high but also saw a significant uptick in on-chain activity, signaling growing investor interest and momentum. However, this wave of enthusiasm has come with a steep downside, and that is a surge in scams targeting the XRP community. XRP…

The ongoing trend has been closely mirroring what was seen back in 2016-2017 before the surge that sent the altcoin’s price to new all-time highs.
