Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is reportedly close to finalising an agreement to invest in Italian company Leonardo’s aerostructures business unit.

Talks between Leonardo and the sovereign wealth fund are almost complete, Bloomberg reported, citing unidentified sources.

The proposed deal intends to create a global aerostructure business, the report said. An aerostructure is a component of an aircraft’s frame, such as the fuselage.

A planned meeting between Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at a Gulf summit in Bahrain, slated for the first week of December, will be central in securing final government approvals, the sources said.

The proposed deal will provide financial support for the Leonardo division, which has been losing money.

The aerostructures unit supplies major structural components for Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, but has reported losses due to a production slowdown in the US.

The Italian government owns 30 percent of Leonardo.

Italy signed agreements worth around $10 billion with Saudi Arabia in January as part of a strengthened strategic partnership.

The Future of Ethereum is Not in Memecoins, But in “Low-Risk” DeFi: Vitalik Buterin ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post The Future of Ethereum is Not in Memecoins, But in “Low-Risk” DeFi: Vitalik Buterin ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has stated that the future of the second-largest blockchain network is not in “passing trends” like Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) or meme coins, but in low-risk solutions like Decentralized Finance (DeFi). He gave these comments in an essay titled “Low-risk defi can be for Ethereum what search was for Google”.  DeFi Can do the Same Wonders for Ethereum that Search Did for Google-Buterin The essay’s title itself is a fascinating insight into Buterin’s plans for the future, as Google’s search engine is among the biggest success stories in the history of tech. It basically redefined the online experience and played a big role in the digital age.  However, the analogy may not be perfect in the case of Ethereum, as Google started as a search engine, and all the other revolutionary tech applications spawned from it. Ethereum, on the other hand, is a programmable ledger that has developed numerous solutions over the years, DeFi being one of them. Other examples include Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), memecoins, NFTs, and others.  Buterin discussed the role of each facet of Ethereum’s application in a broader context. He wrote: “One of the important tensions in the Ethereum community for a long time has been the tension between (i) applications that bring in enough revenue to economically sustain the ecosystem, whether that means sustaining the value of ETH or supporting individual projects and (ii) applications that satisfy the underlying goals that brought people into Ethereum.” Advertisement &nbsp He lists DeFi as an application that can fall under both sections and uplift the blockchain for the future.  “Low-risk defi, with a goal of achieving global democratized access to payments and savings in valuable asset categories (eg. major currencies with competitive interest rates, stocks, bonds”, he wrote.
