Paradigm Research Partners Proposed NFT Derivatives Program Floor Perps

Dave White, a research partner at Paradigm, a blockchain investment institution, proposed an NFT derivatives solution "Floor Perps", which can lock NFTs to mint synthetic NFTs that track the floor price of projects. In addition, the synthetic NFT also has a funding rate mechanism. If there are more short positions than long positions, the short positions, including NFT holders, need to pay the funding rate to the long positions. If the NFT holders do not pay the funding rate, their NFT may face an auction liquidation. White said that Floor Perps not only enables NFT holders to obtain liquidity, but also protects them from floor price fluctuations, and also provides other market participants with long and short exposure to NFT floor prices.

Trump: Investing in cryptocurrencies 'could be a disaster waiting to happen'
Former U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that investing in cryptocurrencies "could be a disaster waiting to happen," saying he was "not a big fan of cryptocurrencies" and had not invested in bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies. Trump said: "I like the currency of the United States. Investing in cryptocurrencies hurts the currency of the United States. We should invest in our currency."

This is not the first time Trump has criticized cryptocurrencies this year. Prior to the news on June 7, Trump said in an interview with Fox Business Channel's Stuart Varney: "Bitcoin is a scam, and I won't be surprised if it falls below $6,000." The reason he hates Bitcoin is that it is competing with the U.S. dollar. Trump also said: "The currency of this world should be the U.S. dollar, and we should not have Bitcoin." In addition, Trump also called for stronger supervision of cryptocurrencies. Back in July 2019, Trump tweeted that he was not a fan of Bitcoin, while also criticizing the Facebook-linked Libra cryptocurrency project. (Fox Business)
