The USD1 stablecoin, backed by US President Donald Trump, has been picked as the mode of payment for MGX's purchase of a minority stake in Binance. The development was reportedly announced by Trump's 41-year-old son, Eric, at the ongoing Token2049 event in Dubai. Addressing the attendees on Thursday, May 1, Trump claimed that the USD1 is being designed as the most transparent and regulated stablecoin in the world. Its use to facilitate the deal is expected to demonstrate how the USD1 could process instant cross-border transactions soon after its launch.Milestone Moment for CryptoThis year, in March, Binance sold its first-ever minority stake for $2 billion (roughly Rs. 17,403 crore) to a third party. With this, MGX, a sovereign wealth management fund from Abu Dhabi, became the first outsider shareholder of Binance.At the time, when Binance founder Changpeng Zhao had announced the development, he had disclosed that the transaction would be “100 percent” facilitated by stablecoins – making it the largest single crypto transaction to date.World Liberty Financial (WLF), the Web3 firm launched by President Trump and his associates last year, will be overseeing the development and launch of this stablecoin.Things to Know About USD1The WLF reportedly launched the USD1 token very quietly in April. CoinMarketCap also shows the USD1 token ranking in the 288th position on its index with a market cap of $137.02 million (roughly Rs. 1,160 crores).The reserves for the USD1 will be under the custody of BitGo and its liquidity will be managed by brokerage service BitGo Prime, the WLF had said in a statement in March.For the first phase, the USD1 tokens are being minted on two blockchains -- Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). In the later stages, however, the stablecoin will be linked to other blockchain protocols as well.Talking about the USD1 at the Token2049 event, Trump said that it will be backed by “short term treasury and cash equivalent that can be sent across borders in a very seamless way”, the Coindesk report said.Affiliate links may be automatically generated - see our ethics statement for details.

Xbox has increased the price of its consoles and controllers worldwide amid the tariffs enacted by President Donald Trump, and says it expects to up the cost of some of its new, first-party games beginning this holiday season. As of today, the recommended U.S. retail price of an Xbox Series X is now set at $599.99, up $100. The Xbox Series S device will now run customers $379 vs. the previous $299.99. Related Stories While the price of existing games will remain the same, later this year Xbox will increase the price of some of its upcoming first-party games from the usual $69.99 to $79.99 across both digital and physical versions of the titles. The price change will go into effect this holiday season, with no specific date given yet, and Xbox says “different games and expansions will continue to be offered at a variety of price points.” Popular on Variety Xbox says pricing on headsets will change in the U.S. and Canada only, and the pricing for its adaptive controller and adaptive joystick will remain the same. Per Xbox, “We understand that these changes are challenging, and they were made with careful consideration given market conditions and the rising cost of development. Looking ahead, we continue to focus on offering more ways to play more games across any screen and ensuring value for Xbox players.” Xbox notes that Series X and S console “availability may continue to change over time depending on the retailer and by country.” The price increase comes one day after Xbox parent company Microsoft released its latest quarterly earnings results, which saw gaming revenue increase 5% overall, but hardware sales drop 6%. Last month, Nintendo revealed it would keep the previously announced $449.99 price of its upcoming Switch 2 device, but increase the price for some of its accessories amid tariff uncertainty.

hlhbk Member Oct 25, 2017 3,607 I am and hour into the game. Does it get more interesting as you progress story wise? It sure hadn't gripped me like the first game did. Granted the opening of the first game is iconic.   Transistor This isn't going to go the way you think Administrator Oct 25, 2017 41,378 Washington, D.C. No   Kingdom Key Member Aug 4, 2021 1,916 Yes   Greywaren Member Jul 16, 2019 12,863 Spain I had a feeling what the first two posts in this thread were going to be LMAO   logash Member Oct 27, 2017 6,199 Just like the original game, there are a lot of massive twist that kind of turn the story on its head so I would say that it does but I was into it from the beginning so what do I know?   wagon Member Jan 6, 2025 333 Flip a coin   Foot Member Mar 10, 2019 12,985 Haha, absolutely not. My eyes eventually slid off the screen the moment any cutscene began.   Dest Has seen more 10s than EA ever will Coward Jun 4, 2018 15,931 Work well shit now i'm just never going to know  Sir Sonic Member Jan 14, 2020 954 YES I mean the moment I switched to jp voice, all the cringe left the game and what remained was insanely memorable  tjh282 Member May 29, 2019 1,061 Usual suspects in here popping off, but yeah it definitely gets more interesting. That's gameplay and story wise   PumpkinPieAddict Member Oct 28, 2017 4,795 In my opinion, absolutely not. I say this as someone who is currently 120 hours in and played it 6 minutes ago lol. They underutilise characters, overuse others, lose itself within the plot. I feel like this had different writers during different parts and it was never cohesive. The first few hours are good the rest is just incoherent and disjointed. Perhaps a second playthrough is way better. But as a story based gamer, the fact I dread cutscenes is a terrible sign. I've started skipping cutscenes for side quests and even heart to hearts, the game just lost me around the 50% mark and never got me back. Gameplay is fun but has various issues (so many systems and lacking QOL).  Homura ▲ Legend ▲ Member Aug 20, 2019 6,868 It literally does. Xenoblade 2 is the epitome of the "it gets good 30 hours in" trope.  Brando "This guy are sick" Member Oct 25, 2017 1,598 Nope. The only good part of XB2 is the Torna expansion.   Grain Silo Member Dec 15, 2017 3,184 Most definitely. Chapter 4 is a bit of a drag but it gets a lot better afterward.   PlanetSmasher The Abominable Showman Member Oct 25, 2017 131,820 No. It's a fever dream front to back, and Jin and Malos aren't enough to save it.   Transistor This isn't going to go the way you think Administrator Oct 25, 2017 41,378 Washington, D.C. hlhbk have you gotten to the part where an underage sex doll is built by a potato man's uncle?   criteriondog I like the chili style Member Oct 26, 2017 13,232 Absolutely. The story has some of my favorite highs in the genre. Ignore the first reply. Swear they post more about how much they dislike the game than the most hardcore fans who love the game post about it.   Lihwem Member Mar 17, 2020 851 An hour in??? You've barely scratched the surface of the prologue haha   falcondoc Member Oct 29, 2017 7,933 100% YES. Don't listen to anyone saying no. They're just wrong. It may not be to everyone's taste. But the story objectively ramps up and gets much better the game progresses all the way until the end.   OP OP hlhbk Member Oct 25, 2017 3,607 PumpkinPieAddict said: In my opinion, absolutely not.

A Japanese player has already crossed beating The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch 2 off the list. YouTuber and speedrunner Ikaboze managed that feat this past weekend at Nintendo Switch 2 Experience: Tokyo, where attendees had a chance to go hands on with Nintendo’s next-gen console. Like other attendees, Ikaboze was limited to 10 minutes of playtime on Switch 2, but he managed to see Breath of the Wild’s credits in about seven minutes. Granted, Ikaboze wasn’t starting from scratch and pulled off a heretofore unseen seven-minute Any% speedrun of Breath of the Wild — the current record is just shy of 23 minutes, utilizing glitches. Ikaboze had access to a handful of save files at Nintendo Switch 2 Experience: Tokyo, one of which has a well-equipped Link that puts him right outside of Hyrule Castle. He makes quick work of Calamity Ganon. At certain points in the video, Ikaboze tries (and fails) to pull off the game’s windbomb technique, which can launch Link high into the air and let him paraglide to far away locations. But that technique hasn’t been removed or fixed in the Switch 2 version of Breath of the Wild; as seen later in the video, Ikaboze is able to pull off a windbomb jump after he rolls credits on the game with his remaining allotted time. Your chance to beat The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch 2 is coming on June 5, when both the game and Nintendo’s next-gen console launch. A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launches the same day.

Menu Home News Hardware Gaming Mobile Finance Deals Reviews How To Wccftech Gaming Evil Dead: The Game Has Been Delisted On Digital Storefronts, Servers Will Stay Up For Those Who Already Own It David Carcasole • May 1, 2025 at 10:35am EDT Evil Dead: The Game is being delisted from digital storefronts, publisher Saber Interactive confirmed on the game's Steam page before delisting it on Steam. Players noted on Reddit earlier in the week that it had been removed from the Epic Games Store and the PlayStation Store, raising suspicion that it had been delisted. Saber confirmed those fears today, removing it from Steam and the Xbox Store, where it was still available for a short time after being removed from the Epic and PlayStation storefronts. "We can confirm we've begun the process of removing the game from digital storefronts," Saber wrote in its statement. "Anyone who has purchased the game will still be able to play it as we plan to keep our servers online for everyone. We want to extend a sincere thank you to our community, to those who have been part of the game from the very beginning, and those who have recently joined us. We appreciate all of your support." The game's developer, Boss Team Games, stopped making new content for Evil Dead: The Game in 2023 and canceled a previously planned Nintendo Switch version at the time. Unfortunately, that it is being entirely delisted now is just the next step in what's become the standard for online-only games with no offline mode. Perhaps by the time servers go offline, Saber and Boss Team Games will have finished work on an offline mode so that those who do own the game can continue to play it in some fashion. Saber didn't provide a timeline for when servers will be taken down, but it would be surprising to see them last longer than the rest of the year, now that the game is officially off storefronts.

الرئيسية/الأخبار/100 مليون دولار من سبوتيفاي لصنّاع البودكاست في ثلاثة أشهر فقط الأخبار 100 مليون دولار من سبوتيفاي لصنّاع البودكاست في ثلاثة أشهر فقطكشفت منصة سبوتيفاي عن استثمارها الضخم في عالم المحتوى الصوتي، معلنة إنفاق أكثر من 100 مليون دولار على صناع البودكاست ودور النشر الصوتية حول العالم خلال الربع الأول من عام 2025 فقط.وشملت هذه المدفوعات الكبيرة مجموعة متنوعة من المبدعين على المنصة، من بينهم الأسماء اللامعة في هذا المجال مثل جو روغان، وأليكس كوبر، والكوميدي ثيو فون.ويأتي الإعلان بينما تشهد صناعة البودكاست تحولات كبيرة، خصوصًا بعد انتهاء عقود الحصرية بين سبوتيفاي وبعض نجومها البارزين. فقد أبرم روغان صفقة جديدة مع المنصة العام الماضي بقيمة تقدر بنحو 250 مليون دولار، منحته حرية أوسع تشمل مشاركة الإيرادات والظهور على منصات أخرى مثل يوتيوب، بينما فضلت كوبر الانتقال إلى منصة سيريوس إكس إم في أغسطس الماضي.ورغم هذه التغييرات، تواصل سبوتيفاي استقطاب هذه البرامج على منصتها، حيث يستمر نشر الحلقات الجديدة عليها، مما يؤهل منتجيها للاستفادة من “برنامج شركاء سبوتيفاي” الذي دشنته الشركة مطلع العام الجاري في أربعة أسواق رئيسية: الولايات المتحدة وبريطانيا وكندا وأستراليا.ويتيح هذا البرنامج الجديد لصناع المحتوى جني العائدات من الإعلانات التي تديرها سبوتيفاي في حلقاتهم، بالإضافة إلى الاستفادة من الإعلانات المرئية الديناميكية التي يشاهدها المشتركون المدفوعون.وفي خضم المنافسة المحتدمة على استقطاب المواهب، كشفت منصة باتريون المنافسة عن دفعها أكثر من 472 مليون دولار لصناع البودكاست في 2024، اعتمادًا على نموذج الاشتراكات المدفوعة الذي يضم أكثر من 6.7 مليون مشترك.أما عملاق الفيديو يوتيوب، فتفوق مدفوعاته بمراحل كل المنافسين، حيث أعلن رئيسها التنفيذي نيل موهان أن المنصة ضخت 70 مليار دولار لصناع المحتوى بين عامي 2021 و2024، مع تنامٍ سنوي في قيمة هذه المدفوعات، لكن هذا الرقم يشمل جميع أنواع المحتوى وليس البودكاست فقط.وتستعد سبوتيفاي للإعلان عن نتائجها المالية للربع الأول من العام الجاري يوم الثلاثاء، وسط ترقب لمعرفة تأثير هذه الاستثمارات الضخمة على أداء الشركة المالي ونموها في سوق المحتوى الصوتي العالمي. بواسطة CNBC تابع عالم التقنية على
