MANCHESTER, England, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A growing UK-based remittance service provider, ACE Money Transfer, is delighted to announce its renowned promotion, ‘Salam Bangladesh,’ this time with bigger prizes in line with the Bangladeshi government’s 2.5% incentives on foreign remittances to promote the use of regulated channels.

The company is giving away eight new iPhone 15 Pro and 50 cash prizes of BDT 20,000 each to Bangladeshi customers across the UK, European Union countries, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland. This promotion is open to all customers who will send money to Bangladesh through ACE Money Transfer throughout Ramadan 2024.

Despite a colossal 7.69% surge in remittance during the past 7 months, recording over $2.1 billion in January and February 2024, the new year began with a foreign exchange crisis for Bangladesh. The World Bank projects that the overall remittance inflows to Bangladesh in FY24 are expected to remain flat at $23 billion. Several Economists and other Financial experts attribute the flat ratio of remittances to the weak dollar exchange rates that have driven Bangladeshi diasporas towards using unregulated channels like Hawala/Hundi.

ACE Money Transfer has stepped forward to promote the use of regulated channels to drive increased remittance inflows to Bangladesh. The firm believes that alongside the government’s 2.5% incentive, its much-anticipated ‘Salam Bangladesh’ promotion will significantly help stimulate the remittance inflows to Bangladesh.

Customers can win the said prizes by sending remittances to Bangladesh via ACE Money Transfer throughout Ramadan 2024. Bangladeshi expats will need to use the code ‘BANGLA’ to register their entries to the lucky draws when creating remittance transactions via ACE Money Transfer.

Mr Rashid Ashraf, CEO of ACE Money Transfer, says, “We stand committed to empowering Bangladeshi overseas workers through cutting-edge digital remittance solutions. With deep gratitude for the tireless efforts of our global Bangladeshi diaspora, we pledge unwavering support, delivering excellence in service and rewarding experiences.”

Algorand rolls out crypto’s most inclusive staking rewards program

Published

on

algorand-rolls-out-crypto’s-most-inclusive-staking-rewards-program

Avoids punitive slashing and token lockups, maintains web3’s lowest costs for node runners with real-time reward payments

SINGAPORE, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Staking rewards have arrived on the Algorand blockchain. The Algorand Foundation announced today that, after this week’s consensus mechanism upgrade, ‘block rewards’ are now being paid, in real-time, to validators successfully proposing blocks to the Layer-1 blockchain. The rewards begin at 10 ALGO per block and will decay by 1% every millionth block. Validators also receive 50% of the transaction fees of the blocks they successfully propose. More information about this upgrade and “Algorand 4.0” can be found here.

Algorand’s staking program is unique in the industry. Rewards are paid out in real-time and, unlike the staking setups on Solana, Ethereum, and other chains, participants are not threatened by slashing nor subject to restrictive token lockups. Node runners continue to have full access to their funds at all times. Also, compared to other popular currencies like ETH and SOL, Algorand’s staking rewards are not inflationary and don’t impact the total supply of ALGO.

“While staking on Algorand is highly inclusive, it’s highly secure as well,” said John Woods, CTO of the Algorand Foundation. “Algorand uses advanced cryptography that makes it unnecessary to put user funds at risk of penalty or loss – their ALGO does not need to be delegated to other parties or locked up to be used to secure the network.”

“Any time we interact with a blockchain – whether through a dApp or an enterprise platform – that action is made possible because of the network running it,” said Staci Warden, CEO of the Algorand Foundation. “The nodes on the Algorand blockchain secure corporate supply chains, online credentials, and digital identities. They make it possible to send aid payments around the world, and to tokenize and exchange real-world assets, all in a decentralized system. The Algorand blockchain does not fail. The Algorand blockchain will never fork. And, now, Algorand will also offer inclusive, robust, and future-proofed staking.”

There are multiple ways people can participate in securing the network and earn staking rewards. For DeFi users, liquid staking is available from Folks Finance, Tinyman, Messina, and CompX; there is a consensus staking pool on Pact, with other staking pools available on Réti; and delegated staking is available from Valar. ALGO staking will be available on other centralized exchanges later this year. Users can also run their own Algorand node

The rollout of staking rewards marks the end of a banner year for the sustainable Algorand blockchain, including:

Bittrex Global Owners and Former Executives File Suits Against the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA)

Published

on

bittrex-global-owners-and-former-executives-file-suits-against-the-bermuda-monetary-authority-(bma)
  • Owners and former executives apply for a court review of the regulator’s decision to take enforcement action against the exchange following its voluntary application for liquidation
  • In a separate action, the court-appointed independent liquidator of Bittrex Global is challenging the constitutionality of the lack of an effective appeal framework in relation to the enforcement actions under Bermuda’s Digital Asset Business Act (DABA)

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bittrex Global owners and former executives confirmed today the filing of two suits against the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) in the Supreme Court of Bermuda. Based on this development Bittrex Global owners and former executives released the following statement today:

“In November 2023, we announced that Bittrex Global would be ceasing operations. We then entered a four-month period of consultation with the BMA and a globally recognised firm to act as liquidators to develop a plan to ensure an orderly wind-down and the safe return of all claimed funds to former customers. Three business days after the Court approved the liquidation plan and the appointment of the proposed independent liquidators, the BMA issued a warning notice to the company that it intended to take enforcement action.

“We have asked the Court to review the decision of the BMA to bring enforcement action in these circumstances. Unfortunately, the Digital Asset Business Act (DABA) does not afford us, as owners and former executives, the right to respond directly. Therefore, we have also had to file a Constitutional claim in order to challenge the decision.

“Bittrex Global became one of the first companies regulated under Bermuda’s flagship crypto regulation in 2020. Since then, we have worked closely with the BMA, providing them with business plans and other materials setting out in detail all our policies and procedures. Where the BMA made suggestions, for example as part of an annual on-site inspection, these were promptly implemented. It was extremely surprising to learn, mere days after choosing to liquidate the company and after months of consultation with the BMA about our plans, that the BMA intended to bring enforcement action in relation to those same policies and procedures it had known about and in many cases approved over the previous three years. It was further shocking to learn that they proposed to deviate significantly from their own official published guidance and issue a civil penalty over four times the maximum amount under that guidance.

“In a separate court filing, Bittrex Global, acting through the court-appointed independent liquidators, is challenging the constitutionality of DABA’s lack of an effective appeal framework in relation to enforcement actions.

“The return of claimed assets to all Bittrex Global users is already in an advanced stage, under the direction of the independent liquidators and the supervision of the Supreme Court of Bermuda. To date, over 94% of claimed funds have already been returned, and it is anticipated that all claimed funds will be returned in accordance with applicable law in the coming weeks. Bittrex Global owners and former executives have continued to assist in this process, and the return of claimed funds remains our overriding priority.”
