The stock of a little-known Korean game company has soared into the blockchain technology

Stocks of companies based in Korea Wemade's stock price soared by more than 400 percent, resulting in a market value of around $5 billion. MIR4 has been downloaded more than 1 million times from Google's Play Store, and it generated 11.5 billion won (about $10 million) in revenue in just one month, in September. MIR4 is one of the few games built using blockchain technology, and it was produced by a big game company. As cryptocurrencies become more widely accepted in the mainstream, such games are becoming increasingly popular. Players can earn cryptocurrency by converting in-game things into cryptocurrency assets such as Wemix, which is Wemade's proprietary cryptocurrency.

Other Korean game developers have experimented with the technology in the past, but none have had the same level of success as MIR's founder Park Soo-Hyeon.

Wemade generated sales of 63 billion won (about $55 million) in the third quarter of this year, an increase of 167 percent over the same period last year. The majority of the money comes from users in other countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, accounting for 54% of total revenue. Park Yong-Hyeon is a Korean video game developer. Park Tae-Kyung is considered to be a pioneer in the field of blockchain-based gaming in South Korea. He believes that by making the genre more accessible and inexpensive to all gamers, it will become a big component of the overall gaming business.

To boost trade, Africa is simplifying international payment systems

It's hard to transfer money between African countries. The Ghanaian king settled a bill with a Nigerian attorney. His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate. From July 2021 to 2022, Ghana's currency fell from 6 to 8. Volatile currencies make financial transactions more costly and risky. To overcome these problems, PAPSS facilitates financial transactions ...

A more accessible blockchain-based app dev in progress

Outside of cryptocurrency, blockchain has a lot of potential. Decentralized applications and distributed ledgers may soon be used by established industries such as finance, automotive, supply chain, and mobility. However, creating your own blockchain from the ground up is quite tough. Lisk co-founder Max Kordek discusses how to make decentralization more approachable. Blockchain's decentralized, tamper-proof nature has the ability to decentralize power and offer the collective hive more data control. Data from different manufacturers may be linked, and data from different vehicles could be shared. With so much money pouring towards asteroid mining and Mars expeditions, an interplanetary economy appears to be a foregone conclusion. Established businesses are less likely to have a say in the change than new entrepreneurs. When Bitcoin was first launched, the development ecosystem was "terrible," according to Kordek. He claims that developing on the open source and immutable...

Embracing blockchain as a tool for change

Blockchain technology is increasingly being employed in enterprises outside of the financial industry, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. By 2023, it is estimated that investment in blockchain technologies will reach US$16 billion per year on average. (Approximately RM68 billion). To put this in perspective, consider the fact that US$8.7 billion was invested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2021. The Malaysian government is aiming to create a long-term environment for the country's technology and financial services industries in the next years. Founded in Singapore in July 2021 by Iskandar Investment Bhd as a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Ignite Global Innovation and Technology Exchange will be the world's first global innovation and technology exchange. In Malaysia, IIB Ventures Sdn Bhd is in charge of the development of the blockchain industry's ecosystem. This is why BV@M has set a goal of creating a blockchain ecosystem in Medini...
