The grant submission and approval process outline will soon be posted for feedback on the Amp Community Forum. Flexa proposes to replace assets erroneously sent to token contract addressesAs a one-time replacement event for early supporters, Flexa has introduced a proposal to replace irrecoverable tokens that were mistakenly sent to the Amp and Flexacoin token contract addresses. Funds for this proposal would come directly from Flexa, and the proposal is explicitly stated to be a one-time replacement. Voting for this proposal is now live, so let your voice be heard. Keynotes at Legends4Legends and TNW Conference in AmsterdamLast week, Flexa co-founder and CEO Tyler Spalding gave two keynote speeches in Amsterdam: at the Legends4Legends conference, Tyler presented Flexa and Amp to some of Europe’s largest financial institutions; and later that week, Tyler spoke at one of Europe’s largest tech conferences, TNW Conference 2021. His keynote address was entitled “Crypto networks as business model innovation.” Amp on Newton and ZebPayAmp is now available on Newton, a Canada-based, zero-fee brokerage, and ZebPay, an India-based exchange, gaining the new AMP–INR trading pair in the process. This new availability enables more liquidity for the Amp community across Canada, Asia, and Oceania.

DeFi and payments newsBanks push back against Apple Pay feesThe Wall Street Journal reports that banks like J.P. Morgan, Capital One, and Bank of America have “grown unhappy” with the fees Apple charges them each time their customers use Apple Pay. Apple’s fees are part of the typical interchange fee charged by credit card networks. The banks are seeking to exclude certain types of transactions such as subscription fees from Apple’s take. Bank of America launches digital currency custody serviceIn a move signaling continued institutional interest in cryptocurrencies, Bank of America has announced it will offer custodial services for bitcoin, bitcoin cash, and litecoin. Bank of America joins other financial institutions—including State Street, Bank of New York Mellon, and Northern Trust—in offering such custody services. Visa develops concept for central bank digital currency paymentsLast week, Visa released early concepts for a universal payment channel solution that could facilitate interoperability among blockchains. While the announcement was largely a conceptual framework, rather than a true solution, its focus is also primarily related to central bank digital currencies (“CBDCs”) instead of cryptocurrencies. Biden administration considers stablecoin regulationsIn a positive development for long-term digital currency market stability, the Biden administration has signaled interest in bringing stablecoin issuers into the financial regulatory framework, possibly by treating them similarly to banks or via a special purpose charter. Ultimately, this could help assuage concerns about the financial stability of stablecoins, a sector that has ballooned to over $110 billion in value and widely underpins much of the digital currency economy. Nigeria federal court gives green light to Naira CBDCAfter the central bank of Nigeria received a cease and desist for trademark infringement regarding the name of its planned CBDC, eNaira, federal courts concluded that the CBDC rollout could continue as a matter of national interest. Nigeria joins countries around the world in pushing CBDCs forward as part of an effort to digitize their economic systems.
