pSTAKE partners with Anchorage Digital to allow institutions to hold PSTAKE token

Liquid staking protocol pSTAKE finance has partnered with Anchorage Digital, a regulated cryptocurrency platform providing institutions with integrated financial services and infrastructure solutions. Anchorage was the first crypto company to receive an operational national bank charter in the US.

Following the partnership, Anchorage will allow institutions to securely hold pSTAKE finance’s governance token, PSTAKE, which is an important support for the pSTAKE economy. Besides providing an opportunity for institutions to participate in pSTAKE finance, it also expands the number of participants.

Being a multi-chain protocol for unlocking liquidity for staked assets, pSTAKE is one of the leading staking solutions for BNB Chain and Cosmos. It allows Proof-of-Stake (PoS) asset-holders to receive rewards without sacrificing the liquidity of their assets. This unlocks the full potential of PoS tokens.

Commenting on the partnership, the President and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital, Diogo Mónica, said:

“Institutions are especially interested in participating in the Cosmos ecosystem, and Anchorage is mission-driven to give them access to the many staking protocols emerging, including pSTAKE.”

Commenting on the advantages of the partnership, the Founder of Persistence, Tushar Aggarwal, said:

“Anchorage has proved to be the industry-leading digital asset custodian, and we are delighted to partner with them to accelerate the next phase of growth for pSTAKE. Anchorage brings both security and a strong user experience, and we’re pleased institutions can now leverage pSTAKE’s liquid staking solution to maximize capital efficiency for their assets. A win-win for both ecosystems.”

The most recent liquid staking solution to be added to pSTAKE is the stkBNB, which is a BNB liquid staking solution. Earlier, the protocol added liquidity staking solutions for Cosmos and Ethereum which just transitioned from being a proof-of-work (PoW) token to a PoS token after the Merge upgrade.

pSTAKE has raised more than $20 million through public and strategic token sales and it aims at building a highly integrated and accessible ecosystem. Anchorage will help by providing industry-leading custodial solutions for institutions.

Laura Shin Asks Terra’s Do Kwon The Tough Questions. What Did We Learn?

This is the Do Kwon interview everyone was waiting for. In the latest episode of Laura Shin’s Unchained Podcast, titled ‘It Was Never Really About Money or Fame or Success’, the Terra creator faces serious scrutiny. Do Kwon denounces media misinformation, denies several serious charges and gives a play-by-play explanation of the organization’s movements during the crash. And he sweats bullets.  Related Reading: Terra Reacts To Case Against Do Kwon, Claims Matter Is Highly Politicized Laura Shin did her homework, and relentlessly puts forward the questions most Terra investors have. She does this in a non-threatening, extremely professional way. Do Kwon answers all of her questions. Some better than others, but the man does show his face and answers, which is a lot. Compassionately, Laura Shin also gives Do Kwon a second opportunity to say sorry to Terra’s affected investors and their families. He would’ve come across much worse if she hadn’t offered that second chance. The episode’s intro says: “Do Kwon, cofounder of Terraform Labs, discusses the charges against him, gives a message to Terra victims, answers allegations about potential fraud and non-transparent business practices.” This is the video: This Do Kwon interview is one for the books, everybody interested in the subject should watch it. Let’s bring out the bullet points and analyze this phenomenal piece of media. Do Kwon On His Location And “On The Run” Status He claims he doesn’t live in South Korea anymore and he’s not planning to return to face the alleged charges. He plans to appeal, though. Do Kwon hasn’t seen a copy of the arrest warrant. Apparently, cryptocurrencies are securities in South Korea.  His team has been cooperating with South Korean authorities, fulfilling the court requests for different documents. Do Kwon refuses to reveal his current location because of the difficulties it brings to his living situation. He denies he’s on the run.  He denied frozen funds at the KuCoin and OKX exchanges belong to him, Terraform Labs, or the LFG foundation. The most important news Do Kwon reveals, though, is that the organization is working with a chain analysis firm to produce a paper on their trading activities. “They should be publishing a report shortly, which I think is going to provide a lot more clarity,” he said. Do Kwon promised the report in “the next couple of weeks.” LUNA price chart on Kraken | Source: LUNA/USD on TradingView.com Terra Was a Failure But It Was Not A Scam Do Kwon claims that his online persona was an alter ego and confesses that he got carried away with the “sh*tposting.” Terra’s failure was caused by the protocol’s “weakness to respond to the cruelty of the markets.” He admits to a lot of technical and theoretical mistakes but denies Terra was a scam.  Do Kwon claims that the Anchor developers/ whistleblowers that came forward denouncing the protocol were only interns. Not a line of their code appears in the final product, and this is apparent in GitHub.  Admits to the SDT premine of $1.4B. This was a second stablecoin that the Terra organization used to maintain the UST peg to the dollar. This stablecoin wasn’t even mentioned in the Terra whitepaper. According to Do Kwon, this was because they hadn’t conceived SDT when they wrote it. He claims Terra’s is an “academic whitepaper” and wasn’t supposed to cover all of the technologies’ use cases. Do Kwon admits they were using market operations to maintain the UST peg to the dollar. In fact, he says this was always the idea. The burning and minting of LUNA was not the only procedure that was supposed to maintain the peg. Do Kwon And The Other Admissions Apparently, Terra and Chai haven’t been working together for a long time. When asked about faking Chai’s numbers and interactions registered in the Terra blockchain, Do Kwon said that the numbers came from Chai. According to him, they were probably “distancing themselves” from the Terra situation but still using the blockchain. Related Reading: Do Kwon Statement: A Possible Trigger For Terra Tokens Price Surge When asked about his participation in Basis Cash, a failed algorithmic stablecoin, Do Kwon distanced himself from the situation. He was just founding the team, but had nothing to do with the actual project. “Basis Cash is not something that I designed or operated. It’s something that I encouraged,” Do Kwon said. When asked about if he was planning to compensate Terra investors from his own pocket, Do Kwon said, “my personal funds are not significant enough to make a difference.” He still believes the world needs to work towards a decentralized future and that we need censorship-resistant money.  As for his future plans, Do Kwon says he plans to continue building “highly experimental” projects in the crypto space.
