He then recorded further historical highs, the last of which reached $ 69,000 on November 10. Here, however, the situation changed and within a few hours the asset fell by several thousand dollars to a daily bottom of 63,000 USD.

Binance allegedly asked users to return the Dogecoin received after the last update

The latest update of the Dogecoin network has led to problems on the world’s leading crypto exchange, Binance. The popular memecoin was updated 1.14.5 earlier this week to address some security issues, reduce transaction fees, and improve overall performance.

However, the update caused problems for Binance, which reported that it had discovered a “minor issue with DOGE withdrawals.” As a result, the exchange temporarily suspended token withdrawals and also contacted Dogecoin’s development team to resolve it.

The situation apparently worsened for some users again, as many of them complained on Twitter that Binance had contacted them and asked for tokens. The Dogecoin development team on Twitter confirmed that some transactions actually got stuck on Binance more than a year ago and that both parties are in contact.

Discord backs down on Ethereum integration after community feedback

Following a community response, the Discord social media platform reversed its plans to integrate Ethereum.

Discord CEO Jason Citron indicated earlier this week that the social media platform and Ethereum could be integrated.

On November 8, he posted a preview on Twitter showing the integration of Metamask and WalletConnect web wallets on the Discord platform. However, some Discord communities have been outraged by environmental concerns about Ethereum and NFT power consumption.

On November 11, Citron confirmed that this concept is not planned to be further developed.

Coinbase Pro plans to launch stablecoin tied to the Japanese yen

Coinbase Pro announces that it plans to launch stablecoin tied to the Japanese yen, reportedly the first of its kind. GYEN is referred to as the “first regulated digital Japanese yen.” The project states that it is 100% covered by Fiat currency.

Coinbase first released a press release earlier this week announcing Coinbase Pro’s plans to launch a GYEN order book with the US dollar, euro and Tether (USDT). However, Coinbase Pro later said on Twitter that the start of trading was postponed.

Although GYEN is described as a stablecoin tied to the yen, it rose briefly to a historic high of $ 0.01477139 on Wednesday, significantly outpacing the yen against the US dollar. Since then, the price of a digital asset has declined, trading at $ 0.008761 at the time of writing and almost matching the yen in dollar terms.

Double Eleven: 240,000 e-CNY orders on JD.com’s leading e-commerce platform

More than 100,000 consumers have used the digital currency of the Bank of China (CBDC) to make approximately 240,000 purchases on China’s leading e-commerce platform JD.com as part of the annual Double 11 shopping festival [11.11], stated in the platform report. Still, it’s probably only a fraction of total digital sales on November 11th.

Double11 refers to China’s online sales day, which falls on November 11 each year and is something like the Chinese version of Black Friday. The Chinese digital yuan was first used at the Double11 shopping festival on JD.com, which issued e-CNY red envelopes to users in 12 e-currency pilot cities before and during the shopping festival to test and support e-currency adoption rates. JD.com is the first Chinese e-commerce platform to announce that it accepts e-CNY.

However, the volume of e-CNY transactions during the festival may make up only a small part of its total transaction volume. JD’s total turnover during the festival was 349.1 billion yuan (approximately $ 54.66 billion).
