Investors often overlook NFTs because they’re still in the early stages of development and growth. But investors shouldn’t let the market’s infancy scare them away from investing in these emerging digital assets. NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token, which means you cannot divide them into smaller units like fungible tokens (e.g., Bitcoin or Ethereum). NFTs can …

Coinbase Global said last Thursday that it will tighten safety by removing ‘how to buy’ instructions for at least three crypto tokens that have been the subject of ‘rug pull’ warnings that investors may lose their money. The links were removed from Coinbase’s website after Reuters brought them to their attention this week, according to Jaclyn Sales, a spokesman for the cryptocurrency exchange. She also stated that the security of the company’s automatically generated web pages would be improved. Nasdaq-listed Coinbase has pages dedicated to investing in tokens, however, the pages in question were merely educational rather than offering them for trading on its app or wallet. The pages, according to Sales, were generated automatically using data from the data website CoinMarketCap and included a disclaimer that the information was not financial advice and that the exchange was not liable for ‘errors and delays.’ CoinMarketCap Denies Any Partnership With Coinbase CoinMarketCap said it was unaware of the Coinbase pages, and its vice-president of growth and operations, Shaun Heng, stated that the two companies were not affiliated. It’s unclear whether Coinbase checked the coins whose information pages were erased, according to Sales. Coinbase said in an email to Reuters on Thursday that it would ‘develop a more robust disclaimer for the pages that are being auto-created.’ And not just this, Coinbase is also planning to ‘build a process to take down any other pages which CoinMarketCap has flagged as potentially being scams,’ they said, and added that ‘assets which relate to known scams were not tradeable on the exchange’.  While the popularity of cryptocurrency adoption has grown significantly, industry scams have continued to make headlines. According to Chainalysis, scams stole more than $7.7 billion from investors last year. DeFi100, Mercenary, and Squid Are The Pages That Were Removed Coinbase took down a website that offered DeFi100 and advised visitors to check CoinMarketCap to see where it could be purchased. The DeFi100 website on CoinMarketCap, on the other hand, warns: “We’ve received numerous reports that this project was a rip-off. Please proceed with caution.” DeFi100’s tokens have not seen any daily trade volumes since November 14, according to CoinMarketCap, which does not sell cryptocurrency.  The website for DeFi100 is currently unavailable. Its most recent tweet was from May of last year. Requests for comment on DeFi100 and its warning were not returned by CoinMarketCap. In May, Twitter users claimed that DeFi100 had engaged in a ‘rug pull,’ in which investors deposit money in phoney projects before the coin’s producers take the money. In one of its last tweets on May 23, DeFi100 refuted the charges. It stated it hoped to ‘put the initiative back on its feet,’ acknowledging that investors had lost money.  Coinbase also removed a page promoting Mercenary, a coin that, like DeFi100, was not available on Coinbase’s app or wallet. Mercenary was created in January and has already reached a peak of about $20. However, it plunged from just over $8 to a fraction of a cent in minutes on Jan. 26 and has not recovered since, according to CoinMarketCap data. PeckShield, a blockchain security startup, advised customers about Mercenary after it was struck by a rug grab on Jan. 26. It’s unclear when Coinbase initially appeared on Mercenary, but according to archival webpages, CoinMarketCap originally appeared on Jan. 15. When asked if Mercenary had been removed from CoinMarketCap’s system, the company did not react.  Coinbase has also pulled down a page for a coin named after Squid Game, which fell to nearly zero in November, according to cyber security experts. It wasn’t visible on the Coinbase app or wallet, either. Following the project’s demise, the SQUID token’s website and Medium account were promptly pulled offline and are now unavailable. The project’s account was also suspended by Twitter, which said it had broken the network’s regulations. SQUID’s developers announced their decision to abandon the coin on Telegram in November, claiming that ‘someone is attempting to attack our project.’

vEmpire DDAO (https://v-empire.digital/), the world's first Layer 2 Metaverse protocol that is dedicated to restoring fairness to the Metaverse, today announced that its native token VEMP has bridged over to the Binance Smart Chain (BCS) and is now trading on PancakeSwap.

The listing makes it possible for the vEmpire community to trade $VEMP on one of the world's most popular dApp, using a network with some of the lowest transaction fees in the industry, thereby introducing an entirely new audience to vEmpire.

This integration makes it possible for the entire vEmpire community to provide liquidity on the PancakeSwap platform and earn proportional rewards based on the amount of liquidity that they provide. This is significant for both VEMP holders and the vEmpire project itself as the partnership leverages exposure to Shiba's fast-growing community. 

We are happy to announce that we have bridged over to the Binance Smart Chain,” said Dom Ryder, Founder and CEO of vEmpire. “We look forward to integrating with one of the most engaging communities in the industry and we hope that we can introduce many of these passionate crypto natives to vEmpire.”

The ultimate goal of vEmpire is to introduce more crypto enthusiasts to vEmpire's mission of fighting against centralization by keeping decentralized Metaverse projects decentralized. It does this through its democratic DAO and platform for collateralizing Metaverse tokens, whereby stakers can earn financial rewards derived from profits across over five Metaverses. 

About vEmpire

Our official platform incorporates different staking strategies to incentivize Metaversal token staking to speed up the battle against centralization in the cryptoverse.
