How and why applications can integrate DEFIT into their programs

Since the advent of Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, many industries have experienced unparalleled growth. For instance, the supply chain industry has become more efficient than ever. Some applications in this industry have reduced the total time of the process to 90%. Other industries like medical record-keeping leverage the secured and transparent infrastructure provided by Blockchain-based applications. 

However, every industry does not require its own Blockchain solution to experience the powers of true digitalization. 

Among the several applications of Blockchain, the use of cryptographic tokens has emerged as the most sustainable and suitable implementation in any environment. The ability of Blockchain to allow the tokenization of every asset has led to more liquidity, transparency, and market visibility. 

But above all, it has allowed the world to complete financial transactions in a better way. 

The need for Blockchain-based token

Financial transactions happening over the Blockchain are free from unreasonable taxes. Moreover, the removal of the third party from the ecosystem system allows the network to complete transactions almost instantaneously. The digital world never takes a day off and being decentralized, it always provides an unbiased service. 

Therefore, what Blockchain facilitates is a direct transfer of value between two parties which is faster, more secure, less costly, and reliable. 

To enjoy this feature of Blockchain, applications are required to have their own tokens or integrate and existing tokens. 

When it comes to creating a token, it might seem like an easy task but there is a lot more than meets the eye. For instance, the tokenomics of the token has to be defined in such a way that the token value is maintained. A well-defined tokenomics allow the token to be resilient to any attacks such as pump and dump. 

Further, tokenomics also plays a major role in ensuring that the token value increases over time, maintaining the interest of the users and providing more usability to the token. Other considerations that are necessary to create a sustainable token are features like buyback and burn, locking liquidity, initial locking period for the tokens allocated to the core team, and several others.

Therefore, while having a token for an application seems to be a great option, it can also be very intimidating due to the technicalities which have restricted several applications.

This is where DEFIT saves the day. 

What is DEFIT and why an application needs it

DEFIT is an ERC20 token by 360Wellness. Being an ERC20 token, DEFIT can be used with any wallet, application, or environment where Ethereum is integrated as ERC20 is the prominent token standard for the Ethereum Blockchain. 

Primarily, DEFIT is the native token of the 360Wellness application. It is used to facilitate all the financial interactions in the 360Wellness ecosystem including the payment for trainers, subscriptions, and other features in the application. Apart from this, DEFIT can also be used for staking. This means that users can hold DEFIT tokens to earn a passive income by becoming liquidity providers.

What needs to be considered here is that DEFIT can be used by any application. By just accepting DEFIT as a payment option, any application can utilize the DEFIT token to complete financial transactions. It will allow the application to adapt to the modern payment network. 

What makes DEFIT appropriate for applications to integrate it is the fact that the DEFIT token has a buy-back policy. According to this, 360Wellness will buy DEFIT tokens with their revenue surplus to maintain the circulation of tokens and increase their value over time. 

Conclusion

In conclusion, any application looking to experience the powers of Blockchain and tokenization can integrate DEFIT into their ecosystem. Especially for the organizations related to the health and fitness industry, the inclusion of DEFIT can open several doors.

360Wellness has been downloaded in 172 countries which means DEFIT has a global platform and international recognition. This will allow other applications using DEFIT to easily scale their user base and facilitate cross-border payments with no intricacies.

NOWPayments Announces Significant Gain in Crypto Payments

NOWPayments, a leading crypto payment gateway, is excited to announce the significaте Increase of Crypto Payments since the beginning of November. 

Why Bitcoin took a new ATH in November?

Starting in January 2024, Bitcoin’s price was around $48,717, marking a period of cautious optimism following a tumultuous 2023. Throughout the first half of the year, Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations as market dynamics shifted, driven by regulatory developments and increased institutional interest. By November 2024, Bitcoin had reached a pivotal moment, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $75,000 on November 8 and then surging to $89,000 shortly thereafter.

This remarkable growth didn’t go unnoticed by the business world. Companies across various industries quickly recognized the massive business opportunity Bitcoin presented. The ATH sent a clear message: Bitcoin was no longer just a speculative asset but a powerful tool for transactions, store of value, and an entry point into the broader crypto economy.

Businesses’ interest in Bitcoin grew for several reasons:

  • Increased Institutional Adoption: Major financial institutions rolled out Bitcoin-based services, providing legitimacy and opening doors for mainstream use.
  • Global Payment Integration: Bitcoin’s borderless nature appealed to businesses seeking efficient, low-cost cross-border transactions, particularly as inflation and currency instability impacted traditional fiat systems.
  • Hedge Against Inflation: As global economies faced ongoing inflationary pressures, Bitcoin became a preferred asset for protecting wealth, especially for businesses looking to diversify holdings.

Climbing to $75K

The journey to $75,000 began with a series of positive developments in the cryptocurrency market. Following the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs and increased institutional buying, Bitcoin’s price steadily climbed. On November 7, 2024, Bitcoin reached approximately $76,999 before closing at around $75,820. This surge was fueled by a bullish market sentiment as investors reacted positively to the election results and anticipated regulatory clarity under Trump’s administration.

Breaking Through $80K

Following its initial surge to $75K, Bitcoin quickly surpassed the $80,000 mark on November 10, 2024. The momentum continued as traders rushed to capitalize on the positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency. By this point, BTC was trading at approximately $80,976, reflecting an increase of nearly 9.64% from the previous day.

Approaching a New BTC All Time High at $90K

As of November 12, 2024, Bitcoin’s price soared to around $89,000. This represents a staggering increase within just a few days following the election and highlights the cryptocurrency’s volatility and potential for rapid gains. The combination of strong demand from both retail and institutional investors has driven BTC prices higher as they anticipate further growth.

How has the new ATH for BTC led to an increase in crypto payments?

We decided to analyse how the rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency – BTC affected the number of payments. NOWPayments team took the number of payments before the U.S. election and compared it with the data after the Trump has won. The result exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the growth of BTC from $72,729.89 to $90,750.94, the number of payments increased by as much as 8%. This significant change indicates the increased interest in cryptocurrency and the correlation of BTC price and cryptocurrency usage.

  1. Correlation Between BTC Price and Crypto Payments:

The 8% increase in the number of payments demonstrates a clear correlation between Bitcoin’s price growth and the rising adoption of cryptocurrency for transactions. As BTC’s value surged, so did user engagement with crypto payments.

  1. Increased Interest in Cryptocurrency:

The significant rise in payments highlights growing public and business interest in cryptocurrencies as a viable payment method, especially during moments of market optimism fueled by events like the U.S. election.

  1. Market Events Drive Crypto Adoption:

The post-election Bitcoin rally, combined with its ATH, underscores how political and economic events can directly impact crypto adoption, encouraging more users to explore cryptocurrency as both an investment and a practical payment tool.

Digital Assets Underinsured: Report Identifies $19 Billion Coverage Deficit, Less Than 3% Secured

Published

By

A recent report, Furthering Digital Assets 2024: Pioneering Insurance Solutions for the Web3 Era, highlights a substantial coverage gap in digital asset insurance, revealing that only 3% of digital assets are currently insured. This gap leaves billions at risk, with an estimated $19 billion in losses from fraud and security breaches since 2011.

The report emphasizes significant incidents that illustrate the vulnerability in the sector. These include a $650 million breach at Ronin in March 2022 and a $614 million loss from PolyNetwork in August 2021. As investments in digital assets increase, so does the call for comprehensive risk management solutions, particularly from institutional stakeholders.

With more than 90% of crypto hedge funds expressing a desire for mandatory insurance on exchange-based assets and around 40% of institutional investors now holding cryptocurrency, the demand for tailored insurance products is clear. Further Ventures, the report’s creator, points to a growing interest from institutions seeking ways to protect their digital assets through robust insurance policies.

The report also sheds light on recent regulatory responses. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), for example, has set mandates for digital asset custodians, requiring 50% insurance coverage on cold storage and 100% on hot wallets. Despite these initiatives, high premiums remain a challenge, with average rates around 0.5%-5% for custody insurance and 5-10% for slashing events and Directors & Officers (D&O) policies.

According to the report, addressing the insurance gap in the digital assets industry will likely require innovation in policy structure, more accessible premium rates, and a regulatory environment that supports the development of effective, comprehensive solutions. As the sector evolves, insurance options may play a critical role in fostering institutional confidence and broader adoption of digital assets.
