January 22, the largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance will conduct the listing of the stablecoin Ripple USD (RLUSD). The listing will allow users of the platform to trade it in three spot pairs, including RLUSD/USDT, RLUSD/U, and XRP/RLUSD. Deposits in RLUSD will begin to be accepted immediately after the debut, and withdrawals will become available from January 23. The listing of RLUSD on Binance is conducted as part of a promotion with zero commission, which will last an indefinite period. This will allow the new stablecoin to compete with more well-known stablecoins, such as USDT from Tether and USDC from Circle, which together account for approximately 90% of the market for similar assets. In addition to competition for dominance with other existing leaders, the addition of RLUSD on Binance will open access to significant liquidity pools of the cryptocurrency exchange. According to experts, this will accelerate the adoption of the stablecoin as an important instrument in the infrastructure of cross-border payments by Ripple. The company Ripple launched RLUSD in December 2024, and since then the market capitalization of the stablecoin has reached $1.3 billion on 16 exchanges, including Bullish, Kraken, Bitstamp, and Gemini. Previously, the cryptocurrency was absent on the two most well-known cryptocurrency platforms Binance and Coinbase. Now Coinbase will remain the only major platform where the stablecoin is not yet represented. #Write2Earn $XRP

For many years, investors in gold have faced costs related to storage, insurance, and ensuring the safety of the metal. Whether it be mutual funds, storage programs with allocated assets, or bank deposits, the economics of holding gold have created a constant decline in returns, which inevitably compounded over time. A new market participant of tokenized gold challenges this fundamental assumption. The stablecoin Herculis Gold Coin (XAUH), launched on the TON blockchain through the JAMTON protocol, offers investors ownership of Swiss gold LBMA 999.9 purity without any regular fees for storage or insurance. Each token is backed by one gram of physical gold, stored in Swiss vaults under the management of accredited depositaries, including Herculis House, Brinks, and Loomis. By eliminating current fees and ensuring full backing with allocated physical gold, the project positions itself as a direct competitor to the established gold ETF industry, which manages assets totaling over $200 billion worldwide.

Cryptocurrency Dusk, oriented towards confidentiality, increased by 40% on January 19, reaching the highest level since the beginning of 2025. The reason for this is that investor interest shifted towards altcoins with small capitalization.
According to data from the analytical company Arkham, since the beginning of the year, the price of Dusk has grown more than four times. At the moment of writing the article, the asset ranked among the top four largest cryptocurrencies by trading volume over 24 hours, surpassed only by Zcash, Monero, and Dash. According to experts, capital began to flow from projects with large capitalization, such as Monero and Dash, into smaller altcoins. Possibly, traders are attracted by other features of Dusk. Thus, according to the technical documentation of the project, the asset uses cryptographic technology based on zero-knowledge proofs and zk-SNARK. This allows for the confidentiality of transaction data while providing regulatory agencies access to the information necessary for audits. This distinguishes the cryptocurrency from other similar coins that ensure complete anonymity. Along with the rise in the price of Dusk, there have also been alarming signals. According to Arkham, from January 16 to 17, the inflow of assets to exchanges exceeded 6 million Dusk per day, which is the highest indicator over the last 30 days. Such increased inflow to exchanges usually indicates that holders are preparing to sell the asset.$DUSK #Write2Earn

Binance, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, has launched new perpetual contracts tied to gold and silver. These products will allow platform users to trade traditional assets using crypto-style derivatives. The launch marks Binance's first step into the regulated non-crypto perpetual contracts space. According to the official announcement, Binance TradFi Perpetuals has launched two contracts: XAUUSDT for gold and XAGUSDT for silver. Both products are denominated in USDT and have the same structure as existing Binance crypto perpetuals. They have no expiration date and can be traded at any time, including when traditional commodity markets are closed. According to Binance, these contracts are designed for traders who want to profit from changes in gold and silver prices without owning physical assets. Users can also apply leverage, making these products suitable for hedging or short-term trading strategies. Binance stated that pricing is governed by a structured risk management model for trading during non-market hours. During regular market hours, prices are tracked using an index based on data from multiple providers. The contracts are available in the Binance Futures section on both the website and the mobile app, in a dedicated TradFi tab.#Write2Earn #Binance
