津巴布韦央行探索使用黄金支持的数字代币提供贷款:金色财经报道，津巴布韦央行正在考虑以新推出的黄金支持的数字代币作为抵押品提供贷款的可能性。中央银行设想将其作为未来日常交易的媒介，以扩大所提供的金融服务范围。
津巴布韦银行家协会解释说，数字货币的实施将要求银行将第三种货币纳入其系统以促进支付。这一发展为银行提供以前只能用津巴布韦元和美元提供的全系列产品提供了可能性，因为以黄金为支撑的数字代币的采用和使用获得了吸引力。
此前报道，中央银行最近拍卖的由黄金支持的数字代币获得了巨大的兴趣，收到了135份申请，价值140亿津巴布韦元（1100万美元）。这些代币由140公斤的黄金储备支持。第二次拍卖定于今日举行，进一步表明对这些数字资产作为保值手段的需求不断增加。[2023/5/19 15:12:40]

EOS东京 Meet up 回顾 重心在技术研究而非节点竞选:据金色财经合作媒体IMEOS报道：日本EOS开发者协会--JEDA 于5月8日在东京大学面向日本人发起 Meet up。本次Meet up 的整场活动大约持续了2个半小时，从头到尾对超级节点竞选的事情只字未提，更没有任何形式的拉票，重心几乎全部放到了对EOS技术研究上 。此前Block.one在4月份公布的EOS Global基金亚太负责人Michael Cao 也来到现场参与探讨。同时，本场活动上，已经有基于EOS开发的Dapp“钱包”应用进行了亮相，集成了扫码支付、转账等交易功能，有些类似于支付宝。更多信息请参见原文[2018/5/10]
