  • Few appeals have been submitted.
  • Algorithm details remain undisclosed.

The event underscores the ongoing scrutiny in the crypto world regarding fair practice and transparency, prompting varied community responses.

Public Scrutiny and Appeals

The screening, dubbed a “witch hunt,” came under public scrutiny after users questioned its fairness. Novakovski confirmed an appeal process via Discord, highlighting lower-than-expected appeal numbers. Maintaining algorithm confidentiality aims to avoid exploitation.

Vladimir Novakovski, Lighter’s CEO, addressed concerns during a Twitter Space session. He emphasized the integrity of the current system and reinforced the importance of non-disclosure of algorithm specifics, fearing potential manipulation.

Transparency and Financial Implications

The lack of detailed algorithm disclosure raised concerns within the crypto community. Many remain skeptical about the fairness and transparency, despite the availability of an appeal mechanism offering some redress through Discord channels.

Financial implications of this controversy aren’t immediately clear, as there appears to be no impact on significant cryptocurrencies like ETH or BTC. However, the debate continues regarding the balance of transparency and security.

Future of Crypto Screening Practices

Industry observers are questioning if other crypto platforms might adopt similar screening approaches. The response from Lighter’s community will likely influence future protocol transparency standards across the sector.

Potential outcomes could see regulatory interest in ensuring fair practices in these processes. Striking a balance between algorithm transparency and security against manipulation remains a crucial consideration for industry stakeholders.

Gold-Backed Cryptos Near $3B Market as Bullion Blasts to Fresh Record Highs

The post Gold-Backed Cryptos Near $3B Market as Bullion Blasts to Fresh Record Highs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold’s historic rally accelerated on Monday, with spot prices punching through $3,800 per ounce to set fresh all-time record, extending a torrid year in which bullion is up roughly almost 47% year-to-date. That surge is echoing on across crypto rails, with gold-backed tokens climbing to an all-time high market capitalization of $2.88 billion, CoinGecko data shows. Tokenized versions of the metal are backed by physical reserves but settle on blockchain rails, offering round-the-clock trading and near-instant transfers. XAUT$3,868.89 and Paxos’ PAXG$3,877.15, both tokens issued by firms predominantly known for their stablecoins, are dominating the category. XAUT’s capitalization stood near $1.43 billion and PAXG’s at roughly $1.12 billion, both at their respective all-time highs. Liquidity has swelled alongside the rally, too. PAXG attracted more than $40 million in net inflows during September and set a fresh trading volume record surpassing $3.2 billion in monthly turnover. PAXG market cap and token volume (DeFiLlama) XAUT also posted a record $3.25 billion in monthly volume, per DeFiLlama. Meanwhile, the token’s market cap growth came solely from the underlying metal’s appreciation, as no new token minting happened this month after August’s $437 million jump. Tether Gold (XAUT) market cap and trading volume (DeFiLlama) The tokenized gold market could continue gaining as macro conditions remain supportive for the yellow metal. Investors expectations mount for more Federal Reserve rate cuts and a softer U.S. dollar, while anxiety builds over a possible government shutdown in the U.S. Meanwhile, BTC$114,240.05, often dubbed as “digital gold,” is lagging behind gold with a 22% year-to-date return.
