XDC Network, Bitso Business tie up to support US-Mexico remittances
The initiative is expected to utilise blockchain technology to facilitate 'near-instant payments'.
This collaboration integrates the XDC Network's ISO 20022-compatible blockchain infrastructure with Bitso Business' fiat conversion services in Latin America.
The remittance corridor is designed to offer a alternative to conventional payment methods in the region.
The partnership aims to offer low cost remittances, with transactions settling in mere seconds at 'minimal' fees, the company said.
It also supports multiple currencies, enabling swift USD to MXN conversions through Bitso's liquidity channels in Latin America.
The service is tailored for SMEs, fintechs, and institutions that require efficient payment solutions for international suppliers or payroll.
Conforming to ISO 20022-compliant messaging standards, the payment rail is compatible with existing banking systems and regulated entities, in line with XDC's objective to enhance adoption in emerging markets.
With over ten years of operational experience, Bitso's APIs and regulatory connections across Latin America expected to add 'interoperability' to the XDC Network.
XDC Network Ecosystem Development Amitava Mandal said: "This partnership with Bitso Business marks a major leap toward our mission of bridging traditional finance with blockchain efficiency. Together, we're delivering faster, fairer cross-border transfers that solve real-world challenges in global remittances and SME trade."
The XDC Network is an EVM-compatible blockchain focused on tokenising real-world assets, digitising trade finance, and providing infrastructure for cross-border settlements.
Bitso Business, meanwhile, offers services including Pay-ins and Payouts in Latin America, Cross-Border payments, as well as Trading and OTC services.
"XDC Network, Bitso Business tie up to support US-Mexico remittances " was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.

ESCAPE Presale Live on Ethereum With $280K Raised, Hacken Audited and SolidProof KYC Verified
With an overwhelming 180,000 USD raised within 24 hours, ESCAPE's Ethereum presale is in Stage 3 at $0.01752, moving toward a final stage price of $0.03236. ESCAPE, a Web3 infrastructure token, has launched its presale on Ethereum and shared its roadmap for new blockchain tools. The project aims to make it easy to create tokens, check analytics, and give communities better visibility: all without needing complex coding or bridges. Mission and Vision According to the team, right now, the world of crypto can feel confusing and scattered - people often have to jump between many different apps and tools just to trade, track information, and stay safe. ESCAPE's goal is to make things simple by creating one all-in-one platform where everything you need is in one place. Strategy and Development The project's development strategy emerged from practical market experience, having initially deployed on an Ethereum Layer 2 solution where the team observed strong community demand for simplified, integrated tools. The original implementation achieved a market capitalization of 11.5 million dollars within two days, demonstrating significant market appetite for consolidated crypto trading infrastructure. Following the discontinuation of the initial Layer 2 platform, the team transitioned to Ethereum Layer 1 to ensure long-term sustainability and independence. ESCAPE emphasizes transparency and accountability. The platform has successfully completed an audit by Hacken that also has audited known companies like Binance, verification by Coinsult, and a KYC review conducted by SolidProof ensures the team is Doxxed. The development process is tracked via an open community board. During and after the presale, ESCAPE also offers a staking program with a sustainable 15% APY, giving early supporters a way to earn rewards. This rate was chosen carefully to ensure long-term growth and ecosystem stability. A collaboration with PAW Chain will extend ESCAPE's reach by enabling multichain deployment. This integration will allow token creators to launch identical contract addresses across more than 15 major blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Arbitrum, Base, and Avalanche - removing the need for bridges or wrapped tokens. Utilities and Deliverables The ESCAPE ecosystem, powered by the $ESCAPE token, is being rebuilt and expanded to include: EscapePad: a no-code token launchpad for Ethereum and future networks DEX Viewer: real-time charts, wallet activity, and volume analytics Wallet Inspector: cross-chain portfolio and transaction analysis Telegram Bots: customizable alerts for trades and holder milestones Mobile App: token deployment and monitoring on iOS and Android Token Visibility Tools: ecosystem-native placement features for projects 'ESCAPE is being built to simplify Web3 and restore trust through transparency,' said an ESCAPE spokesperson. 'The Ethereum relaunch and future multichain expansion represent more than a rebuild - they represent a stronger foundation for creators and communities to launch and grow without limitations.' About ESCAPE ESCAPE is a Web3 infrastructure platform focused on token creation, analytics, and visibility across multiple blockchains. Initially launched on a Layer 2 network in early 2025, ESCAPE grew to over 800 holders and an $11.5 million market cap before migrating to Ethereum. Today, ESCAPE operates with a transparent roadmap, audited smart contracts, and a community-first approach.

All Eyes on Jackson Hole as Market Momentum Cools - Bybit and FXStreet TradFi Report
Dubai, UAE, August 21st, 2025, Chainwire Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, issued its latest TradFi report, spotlighting heightened anticipation ahead of the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. With Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell set to speak on Friday, markets are bracing for clarity on the U.S. interest rate outlook and its implications across global assets, from currencies to cryptocurrencies. The report reveals that traders are pricing in an 83% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Fed's September 17 meeting, down from 94% last week, underscoring rising uncertainty. Historically, Powell's remarks at Jackson Hole have triggered sharp market moves: hawkish tones have lifted the dollar and weighed on equities, while dovish guidance has sparked rallies in stocks and crypto. This year's backdrop: softer inflation, a cooling labor market, and persistent geopolitical frictions, makes the Fed's forward guidance more pivotal than ever. Key Highlights: Event focus: The Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium runs Aug. 21–23, with Powell's speech set for Friday at 14:00 GMT. Rate cut expectations: Markets now see an 83% probability of a 25 bps cut in September, down from 94% last week. Dollar impact: Lower rates typically weaken the dollar while boosting risk assets, including crypto. Powell's tone matters: A dovish stance could fuel a EUR/USD breakout; a hawkish tone risks triggering profit-taking. EUR/USD setup: Trading near 1.168, the pair faces resistance at 1.182 and support at 1.16. Neutral technicals: Flat MACD and RSI at 50 reflect market indecision before Powell's remarks. Technical analysis points to EUR/USD trading near 1.168, with resistance at 1.182 and support around 1.16. Indicators show neutrality, suggesting traders are holding back until Powell delivers direction. A dovish tone could push EUR/USD toward the 1.20 level, while a hawkish surprise may strengthen the dollar and trigger profit-taking. For crypto and broader risk assets, the stakes remain high. Lower rates tend to weaken the dollar and drive capital toward alternative investments, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana already reacting to shifting macro expectations. For detailed insights, readers may read the full report. #Bybit / #TheCryptoArk /#BybitResearch About Bybit Bybit is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, serving a global community of over 70 million users.
