DeFi

Price of the DeFi Sushi token fired by 1,200%

The latest madness in yearn farming, which began a few days ago, is gaining momentum as “sushi farmers” try to get the hottest token in decentralized finances. SushiSwap, which was launched last week as a Uniswap fork, gained traction as the hottest thing in the DeFi sector. Its goal was to build on the popular token exchange protocol, but also to offer a native token as a reward to liquidity providers. Uniswap offers only a 0.3% share of its business fees to those who place collateral on the platform. Obviously, this is not enough for the greedy incomes of farmers, so they move their liquidity to SushiSwap.

CBDC

Central Bank of South Korea has begun the technical phase of CBDC testing

The Korea Times reported on Monday that the Bank of Korea (BoK) is now seeking a consulting partnership to implement the second phase of its plan for the CBDC. Once successful, the local company will assist the central bank in building an architecture for the CBDC, which is preparing in the face of China’s quest to be the first major nation to launch a digital version of its Fiat currency.
