New Bitcoin City Launches Blockchain Games with Payouts on Wins and NFT Auctions

New Bitcoin City, a platform built on the Bitcoin blockchain, has launched games that offer payouts on wins and NFT auctions. The developers aim to expand the usage of Bitcoin beyond trading and investments and make it more generalized. The platform also includes a marketplace and uses a layer 2 network called NOS to combat Bitcoin's slow transactional speeds. The introduction of BRC-20 standards has allowed developers to issue tokens and build DeFi applications on Bitcoin, leading to the development of digital artwork and meme coins. The developers believe that combining the best of both worlds, Ethereum and Bitcoin, is the way forward.

    Coinbase is developing a service that will target Australia's self-managed pensions sector, according to the exchange's Asia-Pacific Managing Director John O'Loghlen. The move comes as self-managed funds in Australia have increasingly held crypto, with nearly A$1 billion ($664 million) allocated to crypto as of the latest data from the Australian Taxation Office. O'Loghlen stated that Coinbase's offering will aim to service these clients on a one-off basis and retain their business. The interest in crypto within the self-managed pensions sector may be driven by the recent momentum gained after spot-ETF approvals in the U.S. and the possibility of similar approvals in Australia this year.
