The Reserve Bank of New Zealand will look at the potential for a CBDC “to work alongside cash as government-backed money,” and assess the issues around the emergence of crypto assets such as stablecoins. In a July 7 announcement, the Reserve Bank revealed it will be releasing a set of “money and cash issues papers for feedback from August to November,” which build upon the “Future of Cash” consultations from 2019.

The bank will “introduce and seek feedback” on crypto-focused papers that will look at the potential for a CBDC “to work alongside cash as government-backed money,” along with unspecified issues that arise from innovations in money and payment tech, including cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and stablecoins.

NZ's Reserve Bank appears to be open-minded towards the deployment of a CBDC, but it has emphasized that a measured and cautious approach is required.

Assistant Governor Christian Hawkesby said in October 2020 that the bank had “no imminent plans” to deploy a CBDC, noting that “to issue currency that meets the needs of the public, we must take a new and holistic approach. We acknowledge there is much work to be done.”source

Donut might be the most mainstream DeFi app attempt yet, offering 4% yields to customers on what feels like a conventional savings app. Many casual crypto users have heard the promises of 5% or even 8% yields on deposits in the wild world of decentralized finance, or DeFi. But while those rates might be tantalizing—especially when conventional "high yield" savings accounts are paying a pathetic 0.5% these days—most people quickly learn that navigating the world of DeFi is complex and intimidating. So they sit out. That's why an app called Donut, whose backers include the owners of the Washington Nationals, is intriguing. Launched last year, it looks like many other banking or investing apps but plugs into DeFi on the back-end to offer users a handsome 4% return—redeemable anytime—on dollars they deposit.more information

Sales of NFTs have totaled 10,000 to 20,000 every week since March, with buyers still outnumbering sellers. NFTs are cryptographically unique tokens that can be linked to digital content such as art and music. This time last year, sales of NFTs stood at just $13.7 million. But in the first quarter of 2021, interest in the digital assets exploded as they burst onto the art world, with one NFT selling for a record-breaking $69 million at the height of the craze in February. Some predicted a bubble about to burst. Individual NFTs have continued to sell for millions of dollars; just last week, world wide web creator Tim Berners-Lee sold an NFT representing the web's source code for $5.4 million, while in late June, digital artist FEWOCiOUS sold a collection of NFTs for $2.1 million.source

Pending approval from client teams, EIP-1559 should go live around the date of August 4. The next update to the Ethereum blockchain, which calls for changing how ETH is paid out to miners, is likely to come on August 4 with block 12,965,000—not mid-July as earlier suggested. That block number was officially proposed today on Github by developer Tim Beiko, the Ethereum Foundation's point person on network upgrades. If various Ethereum client teams—the groups who code the various software onramps to the blockchain—agree to the proposal, that target will become official. The date gives the multiple test networks enough time to finish completing the integration and, hopefully, ensuring there are no problems with the code. An error with the previous hard fork, in April, led to about 12% of computers on the blockchain temporarily being unable to sync to the network.source

Animoca extends its recent $88.88 million funding round with a second tranche, bringing in Coinbase Ventures and other investors.

While many NFTs take the form of artwork or video clips, video game NFTs can be character skins/outfits, weapons, plots of land, accessories, trading cards, and plenty more.source

The firm also plans to apply for an Ethereum ETF. New York City-based SkyBridge Capital is one of the many high-profile companies that have applied to the SEC for a Bitcoin ETF. The company, which manages $7 billion in assets, applied in March and the SEC is currently reviewing the application.

An ETF is a popular investment tool that allows people to buy shares that track the price of an asset. This could be anything from real estate to foreign currencies. A Bitcoin ETF allows would-be investors to put their money in cryptocurrency without having to actually own the cryptocurrency themselves—but rather shares of it.source
