ChainCatcher news, according to a report by Jiemian News, Russian President Putin stated at the "Russia Calling!" investment forum that the development of new payment tools is progressing naturally and inevitably. "For example, bitcoin—who can ban it? No one. Who can ban the use of other electronic payment tools? No one, because these are new technologies. No matter what happens, no matter what happens to the US dollar, these tools will develop in some way, because everyone will strive to reduce costs and improve reliability," Putin said. "If the global usage of the US dollar continues to decline, it will certainly undermine the foundation of its economic strength. This is very clear," Putin said. "A reasonable question is: if foreign exchange reserves can be lost so easily, why accumulate them?" He stated that the current US government is undermining the dollar's role as a global reserve currency by "using it for political purposes," forcing many countries to turn to alternative assets, including cryptocurrencies.

ChainCatcher News, according to DL News, data analytics company Inveniam has announced the acquisition of the on-chain asset tokenization platform Swarm Markets. The transaction amount was not disclosed. Swarm Markets co-founder Philipp Pieper stated that this deal will provide scalable on-chain asset infrastructure for professional and institutional investors such as asset managers, private equity and credit institutions, custodians, and market makers. In October this year, Inveniam had already acquired decentralized cloud storage provider Stor. With Swarm Markets' years of compliance experience and Inveniam having already tokenized over $200 billions in private assets, the combination of the two will bring transparency and liquidity innovation to the traditionally opaque private markets.
