Rigel Finance Combines a DeFi AMM with Yield Farming to Boost ROIs

Rigel Finance Combines a DeFi AMM

Rigel Finance seeks to enhance the way you trade via its unique yield farming AMM protocols. This Automated Market-Making (AMM) combines a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) with some of the world’s top DeFi features. Specifically, you can farm, stake, and trade with ease using this platform.  

What is an AMM?

The first thing to understand is that Rigel Finance is an AMM. AMMs differ from traditional exchanges in a couple of important ways. When you trade using a conventional crypto exchange, you’re exchanging your tokens with another trader directly. In the case of centralized broker exchanges, you’re purchasing your crypto from the platform itself. 

When you trade on an AMM, you are actually interacting with a smart contract that acts as a liquidity pool. This smart contract then “makes” the market for you. AMMs are growing in popularity because they provide a lot of benefits over their traditional counterparts. Primarily, they allow digital assets to be traded without permission and automatically. 

Yield Farming

Rigel Finance leverages its powerful AMM engine and combines it with a yield farming protocol to provide users with more opportunities to earn. Yield farming is an investment strategy that involves locking your cryptocurrency into a liquidity pool. It’s very similar to staking. 

The main difference between staking and yield farming is that yield farming usually has no required lockup period, whereas staking protocols can require 30-days or longer. Also, staking protocols usually have some early withdrawal fee or penalty if you need to access your crypto before the lockup ends. Consequently, yield farming has gained a lot of attention since it entered the market last year.  

Rigel Yield Farming 

In the Rigel ecosystem, you earn RIGEL tokens by farming RigelSwap V2 RLP. Impressively, the network currently supports 18 pairs of yield farming pools to suit your investment needs. The network rewards you with a respectable 15% of RIGEL/block in the pair RIGEL-ETH RLP and 5% of RIGEL/block for the other 17 pairs. Best of all, the yield farming protocol is deflationary. 

Deflationary Yield Farming is the Future

One of the biggest complaints of yield farmers in the market currently is inflation. In most DeFi scenarios, the rewards tokens are issued whenever new liquidity is added to the pool. Sadly, this approach leaves investors suffering as time progresses because the token issuance rate begins to out weight the demand.

To combat these inflationary concerns, Rigel Finance introduces a proprietary deflationary mechanism. This system helps developers gain more control over their project’s token value. Every day, the network automatically trades all the LP (liquidity pool) tokens for RIGEL tokens. These tokens then get redistributed proportionally between all the xRIGEL holders in the pool.

In addition to the LP token conversion, the network also hosts bi-weekly burning events. The amount of tokens burned is based on a variety of factors, including the number of listings. Lastly, the network will conduct yearly burns. The schedule for these burnings starts the second year with 50% of all listing fees burned. From there, the annual burns will decrease by 50%. 

Powerful Tokenomics Strategy

Uniquely, there are only 30.000 RIGEL scheduled for release, with the last coin issued sometime in December 2022. This low token supply means that the demand for RIGEL will see continued growth as the project matures. The value of the token has already risen since the private sale sold out. There are currently 7600 RIGEL in circulation. 

A Multi-Token Approach to Combat Inflation

Rigel Finance was built to ensure that future yield farmers and stakers would enjoy healthy ROIs. The network utilizes a multi-token approach to accomplish this task. The network’s primary governance token is RIGEL. 

RIGEL is what you hold to gain voting rights on vital upgrades to the network, such as adding a new farming pool. You also have a staking token called xRigel and a yield farming token called RigelSwap V2 RLP. Since all of these tokens are deflationary in nature, each is expected to increase in demand in the coming weeks.  

Progress of Development

Rigel’s network is already live. The network intends to list its token in the coming weeks on seven top exchanges. Each listing will add liquidity to the platform and increase the demand for this scarce token. RIGEL is already available on  Bithumb Global, Bilaxy, Rigel Swap, Uniswap, and 0x Protocol.

Notably, the network has a well-thought marketing and launch strategy dubbed the “Take Me To Rigel” campaign. This campaign includes multiple token listings, the full launch of the platform, early-bird investor bonuses, and the start of a wide-spread marketing push.   

Rigel Wallet

Another feature to look out for is the Rigel Wallet. This DeFi wallet is available as a free download on all Android devices. The wallet has high interoperability due to its WalletConnect integration. You can save any ERC-20 token with ease and check the balances and other vital data at a glance. Best of all, 50% of all the network’s fees go to the deflationary protocol. 

Stake and Earn 

You can also stake your tokens on Rigel Finance. Staking is a core feature on most DeFi platforms nowadays. Staking is considered a better alternative to trading by many investors because it requires far less work. When you trade cryptocurrencies, you must research, analyze, and actively monitor and manage your investments. 

When you stake your cryptocurrencies on Rigel, you simply lock your crypto into a smart contract. The more tokens you stake, and the longer you keep your holdings locked, the higher rewards you will earn. Best of all, these rewards are guaranteed, versus trading, where market movements are impossible to predict with 100% accuracy. 

Unlimited Growth Potential

Rigel Finance’s tokenomics make it stand out from other projects in DeFi currently. The developers behind this platform found a nice balance between features and usability to attract investor interest. It will be interesting to see the effects of such a low token issuance.

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

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.
