Paris Sain — Germain and Blockchain

Check out our new platform: https://thecapital.io/

Members of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) — Neymar and Kylan Mbappé, as well as veterans like David Beckham, will have their own collectible digital player cards. Everything will be based on the Sorare blockchain platform.

The French football club Paris Saint-Germain will now be issuing collector’s items for fans. They will be token-based. All this will be achieved thanks to the collaboration with Socios.com.

The club has therefore become the hundredth football club to join the blockchain-based Sorare platform.

The result is that PSG players like Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, and David Beckham will be somewhat ‘tokenized’ — the platform will issue their digital player cards and in limited quantity. The value of the cards will depend on the actual performance of the players in the league tables, and the “rarity” of the collector cards is guaranteed by blockchain technology.

In a conversation with Cointelegraph, the Sorare spokesman explained that the card system had been tested since December 2019.

Entering the US market

The news about the new partnership also coincides with Sorare’s debut in the United States of America.

– We believe that by having [in our portfolio]100 clubs and three of the 10 best football clubs in the world — Juventus, PSG, Atletico Madrid, we are now well on our way to start advertising [our e-card] game,” said the platform spokesperson.

Prior to the US launch, he noted that the game “needed to be refined, in areas such as the scoring matrix and gameplay progress.”

Since its launch in March 2019, Sorare has generated as much as $2 million in card sales in 60 countries.

On Nonfungible, the ranking page for blockchain games and issuers of collectable, nonreplaceable tokens (NFT), Sorare is now ranked 5th. The platform’s seven-day volume is now $205.131 — compared to $954 231 from Cryptokitties, which is the current market leader.

The NFT model first gained significance in 2017 with the launch of Cryptokitties, which, like Sorare, is based on the Ethereum Blockchain.

DeFi isn’t dead, it just needs to fix these 3 critical problems

It’s been a rough year for DeFi, and it may not get any better until projects focus more on security, regulation and usability. The persistent challenges decentralized finance face have been well documented by a handful of analysts and the recent collapse of the Terra ecosystem re-enforced the fact that something is critically wrong with DeFi. I think DeFi today is completely broken for 99% of the population. The promise of a more transparent financial system has been overtaken by greed. UST/LUNA is just the latest in a string of bad developments: — Peter Yang (@petergyang) May 11, 2022 Let's take a look at what experts say DeFi needs to do in order to have another revival. Improved usability To date, the promise of open and uncensored access to a global decentralized financial system has been largely hampered by the complicated interface, confusing multi-step staking processes and lack of clarity surrounding the yields on various tokens. What do you thi...

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community. Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

National Futures Association adds rules for members handling digital assets

The CFTC-linked self-regulatory organization (SRO) has disclosure rules for members engaging in activities with BTC and ETH; now, standards of conduct are being added. The National Futures Association (NFA), the United States self-regulatory organization for derivatives markets, has issued a new compliance rule addressing members’ conduct. The new rule complements requirements issued in 2018. The NFA has “well over 100” members that engage in activities with digital asset commodities, but no way to address fraud or misconduct committed by those members, the organization explained to secretary of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Christopher Kirkpatrick in a Feb. 28 letter as it submitted the proposed new rule for approval. The new rule is modelled on the NFA’s antifraud rules for exchange traded futures and swaps transaction and retail foreign exchange. The NFA is the only registered self-regulatory organization that has delegated authority from the CFTC, giving it a...
