Tallinn, Estonia, November 13th, 2025, Chainwire
Fintech law company Gofaizen & Sherle has announced the launch of the Crypto License Navigator, an interactive tool designed to help crypto businesses assess and compare licensing options across jurisdictions ahead of the full implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) in the EU in 2026. As MiCAR introduces stricter licensing requirements and heightened regulatory oversight, selecting the right jurisdiction has become a critical strategic consideration for crypto companies and startups.
Whether a small crypto exchange or a large trading platform (MTF), the License Navigator enables businesses to make informed decisions when selecting a crypto jurisdiction and supports sustainable growth in a dynamic regulatory environment.
The service considers factors such as minimum capital requirements, corporate tax rate in the selected jurisdiction, license acquisition times, access to banking services, and the jurisdiction’s reputation, providing a comprehensive analysis to support informed decisions.
Key factors to consider when choosing a jurisdiction
Based on Gofaizen & Sherle’s experience, the choice of jurisdiction for a crypto license should consider a wide range of factors to ensure business compliance and operational efficiency. The main factors to consider are:
- Global recognition – the jurisdiction’s recognition among banks and fintech partners, which simplifies the launch and establishment of partnerships.
- Reputation – trust from customers, investors, and regulators, which affects the attraction of capital and partners.
- Scope of operations – the list of crypto services permitted by a single license.
- Legislation sustainability – possible risk of sudden regulatory changes.
- Operating costs – regular expenses for office space, personnel, compliance, and license renewal.
- Tax regime – corporate tax rate and government incentives for crypto businesses.
- Initial budget – costs of registration, licensing, and launching operations.
- Launch time – time required to obtain a license and start operations.
- Local presence – requirement to have a regional director or compliance officer.
License Navigator combines these key regulatory and tax parameters into an interactive dashboard with real-time analytics, allowing you to select a jurisdiction and model a crypto licensing strategy tailored to their own goals.
Popular crypto jurisdictions in 2026 according to Gofaizen & Sherle
Offers zero corporate income tax for digital asset activities and crypto-friendly banks with SWIFT connection. In 2026, major exchanges are expected to continue expanding their operations thanks to DASP regulation, which covers a broad spectrum of crypto activities under one license — from operating a Multilateral Trading Facility with derivatives contracts to the ability to issue security tokens.
A regulatory leader with transparent and recognizable MSB legislation for the majority of licensed exchanges. In 2026, it will maintain its status as a key North American jurisdiction thanks to low barriers to entry and strong institutional credibility.
The state has become a hub for blockchain innovation without needing to comply with burdensome state-level crypto regulations. This enables global operations, maintains legitimacy, and avoids substantial setup costs.
A fintech hub with flexible FINMA regulation for SROs. AML compliance and membership in a self-regulatory organization are mandatory. In 2026, it will continue to be a leading jurisdiction that covers operations with both fiat and crypto under one license.
Offers fast licensing outside of MiCA in as little as 3 months, low taxes, and minimal costs. Suitable for projects seeking to avoid strict EU requirements.

Willemstad, Curaçao, November 13th, 2025, Chainwire
Whale.io has unveiled its Weekend Sale campaign for Crock Dentist NFTs, set to begin this Friday and run through the weekend until Monday, November 17, 2025. During this limited period and offer a 50% discount on NFT minting for Whale users, reducing the standard price from 500 USDT to 250 USDT per NFT.
The campaign follows the launch of the Crock Dentist NFT collection last month, which saw over 300 NFTs minted to date and active trading on secondary marketplaces. In late October, the first airdrop was completed, distributing approximately $5,000 worth of Solana (SOL) to NFT holders. On average, recipients received around 0.19 SOL.
Minting for Whale users
Crock NFTs were introduced with an early-bird discount and an account-based minting limit, designed to encourage broader participation among users. The mint price began at 100 USDT per NFT and increased incrementally each day until reaching the current price of 500 USDT. Initially, each account could mint up to five NFTs; this limit has now been lifted following the price reaching its cap. Holders who acquired five NFTs at the initial discounted rate received approximately $85 worth of Solana (SOL) from the first airdrop, offsetting a portion of their initial cost.
Crock Dentist NFTs Generate Ongoing Rewards
Crock Dentist NFTs function as access keys to recurring airdrops linked to the performance of the Crock Dentist game, developed by Whale Originals. A portion of the game’s turnover—generated through a 3% house edge (with a 97% return-to-player rate)—funds a distribution pool. This pool is periodically allocated to NFT holders via airdrops in Solana (SOL), and in future distributions, $WHALE tokens. Each NFT represents an entitlement to 0.1% of the total distribution pool, based on a fully minted collection, with holders of multiple NFTs receiving proportional allocations.
The first airdrop was conducted prior to the full minting of the collection, resulting in a distribution per NFT approximately three times higher than standard. Based on current game turnover, the upcoming airdrop is projected to exceed the value of the previous one. Airdrops are automatically sent to compatible wallets at randomized intervals, with no action required from holders beyond maintaining NFT ownership.
Weekend Campaign Details
- Duration: Friday, November 14, 2025, through Monday, November 17, 2025
- Mint Price: 250 USDT (regular price: 500 USDT)
- Mint Limit: Removed – users may mint as many NFTs as desired
- Mint Location: Exclusively on whale.io/nft
With minting activity accelerating and aftermarket data reflecting increased demand for larger allocations, the removal of per-account minting limits addresses a frequently raised community request. The current mint price remains at 500 USDT per NFT, with this rate scheduled to revert to its standard level on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
Transparency and Real-Time Tracking
Whale.io continues to provide full visibility into game performance through live dashboards on its platform, showing game turnover, wager volume, and projected airdrop sizes. Collection’s Treasury and Royalty wallets remain publicly accessible for on-chain verification of minting, trading, and airdrops activities.
Crock Dentist remains active, with NFT minting currently available exclusively through whale.io during the ongoing campaign. Updates on campaign developments, airdrop distribution estimates, and participation guidelines are shared regularly via the official X account, @WhaleGames_en. The $WHALE token, which will feature in upcoming airdrops, serves multiple functions within the platform, including gameplay access, battlepass rewards, and future staking features. Additional utility for $WHALE is expected following the Token Generation Event (TGE).

Tortola, BVI, November 12th, 2025, Chainwire
Funtico has opened the token presale for Earth Version 2 (EV2), the studio’s forthcoming multiplayer sci-fi MMO. The sale offers early access to $EV2 – the token that drives the game’s economy – with 40% of the fixed 2.88 billion supply allocated to presale buyers.
$EV2 will function as the in-game currency for upgrades, item crafting, and marketplace activity. Purchases during the presale can be made using ETH, USDT, USDC, BTC, BNB, SOL, SUPER, or via credit card. This flexible payment structure is designed to make participation straightforward for players who may not be familiar with crypto, lowering the barriers typically associated with Web3 presales. Purchases of over $1K will be awarded an additional 10% bonus in the form of TICO tokens.
Earth Version 2 is set on a newly discovered planet where human explorers uncover remnants of an advanced alien civilization. The game mixes shooter mechanics and progression-based play with class roles and customizable gear. By focusing on high-visual fidelity and intensive combat, Funtico aims to deliver a gaming experience aligned with mainstream titles rather than the typical browser-based Web3 model.
The project arrives at a moment of meaningful growth for the Web3 gaming category. Major publishers and investors have increasingly turned their attention toward decentralized platforms, where digital asset ownership and player-driven economies become more relevant to how games monetize and retain communities.
EV2 builds upon this shift by enabling players to own their in-game progress – but without requiring prior blockchain knowledge. A streamlined login process, traditional store listings, and multi-currency checkout support are intended to meet gamers where they already play, instead of pushing them into crypto-native flows.
EV2 introduces five playable classes – Brute, Cloaker, Mag, Pathfinder, and Valkyrie – that offer distinct combat roles ranging from tanking to stealth, support, and tactical drone deployment. Battles take place across multiple modes. Oblivion centers on team-based combat within a shrinking map, while Fracture is a 25-player free-for-all where everyone is hunting for glowing cubes. Players must collect two of each color to reveal a secret relic, but dying resets their progress.
The rollout of EV2 follows a detailed timeline, starting with gameplay testing and presale onboarding which is currently underway. Partnership activity and additional ecosystem development are planned for Q1 2026 and the full launch and token generation event will take place in Q2, followed by tournaments, seasonal content, and integration of limited-edition digital asset bundles available to presale participants.
Following earlier titles released on Avalanche, the $EV2 token will be issued on Ethereum. The move positions EV2 within one of the most active trading ecosystems, maximizing liquidity and reach ahead of launch. The game is scheduled for release on PC through Funtico, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, with console support planned at a later stage.
The EV2 presale is now live at https://ev2.funtico.com/
About EV2
Developed by Funtico, Earth Version 2 (EV2) is an MMORPG powered by the $EV2 token in which character actions and core features are recorded onchain. The Web3 game, which fuses blockchain features such as true player ownership with seamless onboarding, is set in a cosmic battlefield where alien invasion threatens humanity. Players must gather alien tech, build their personalized EV2 suit, and face the invaders head-on. Skill-based PvE modes and tournaments enable players to compete for collectibles while fighting to save humanity.

Singapore, Singapore, November 11th, 2025, Chainwire
BSX Labs, backed by Blockchain Capital and Coinbase Ventures, brings expertise from supporting over $15B in orderbook trading volume. The team will help RISE develop EVM-based synchronously composable orderbook primitives that will bridge traditional financial markets.
RISE today announced its acquisition of BSX Labs, the team behind the BSX perpetuals exchange on the Base network.
The BSX team’s experience in designing and operating a hybrid orderbook trading system positions RISE to accelerate innovation in fully onchain orderbook products, a core use case of RISE’s high-speed Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain. This collaboration will deliver Integrated Orderbook Primitives that benefit from synchronous composability with other DeFi applications, higher speed and throughput, and increased compatibility between blockchain and traditional financial markets, opening new opportunities for both retail and institutional users as well as app developers.
“The BSX team built an impressive trading engine that attracted significant volume and a loyal user base,” said Sam Battenally, CEO of RISE. “Integrating their technology and talent is a key strategic step for us. It accelerates our roadmap towards launching a native, best-in-class orderbook infrastructure on RISE.”
The market is yet to see fully composable orderbooks onchain and at scale. Existing solutions are either fragmented with custom execution, or the underlying chain cannot support such scale. With the immense forecasted growth of stablecoins and tokenization, RISE, together with the BSX team, is taking an opinionated bet that integrated perps and spot orderbooks will be the preferred infrastructure for brokers, asset issuers and retail traders.
With Integrated Orderbooks, retail brokers get access to deep liquidity, asset issuers can list spot and perps instruments for their assets; and users get access to the best execution, new assets and net-new DeFi yield opportunities.
BSX launched in 2023 and processed over $15B in cumulative trading volume. The acquisition will provide a path forward for BSX token holders, who will be eligible for an airdrop of RISE’s upcoming native token, with 1.5% of the RISE token total supply allocated to BSX tokens currently in circulation in the market.
“Joining RISE is an incredible opportunity for our team and our community,” said Avi, CEO of BSX Labs. “We share a vision for a more performant and transparent onchain trading future. With the resources and ecosystem of RISE, we can now build that future at a much larger scale.”
As part of the integration, the BSX decentralized exchange (DEX) will be sunsetted in a structured one-week process. The shutdown of the BSX DEX will commence on November 11, 2025 at 15:00 UTC. Users can visit the BSX blog for instructions on closing positions and withdrawing assets, and for further details.
About BSX Labs
BSX Labs was the developer of the BSX Protocol, a decentralized perpetuals exchange on Base; backed by Blockchain Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Arthur Hayes and more. The BSX team comes from an impressive background with past experience at Coinbase, Kraken, Jump, and FalconX.
About RISE
RISE is a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 that powers programmable markets onchain. Built for CEX-grade performance and full EVM composability; RISE enables builders, traders, and institutions to create and connect to global orderbooks alongside a thriving DeFi ecosystem with ease. RISE is rearchitecting the financial stack for a transparent, composable, and unstoppable onchain economy.

New York, United States, November 11th, 2025, Chainwire
Threshold Network has rolled out protocol upgrades and a refreshed website to reinforce tBTC’s position in Bitcoin onchain markets. This enhances tBTC’s role as the trusted tokenized Bitcoin, bridging Bitcoin’s onchain capital concentration to decentralized financial markets.
Recent analysis shows that 1M addresses hold over $100k; 157,000 hold over $1 million, and 19,142 addresses hold more than $10 million in Bitcoin. Together, these addresses represent an estimated $500 billion in value, a figure that has accelerated since U.S. spot ETF approvals in 2024. Although individuals control about 65.9% of the total Bitcoin supply, the majority are affluent investors rather than small retail holders.
Since the approval of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, institutional participation has grown rapidly. Institutional holdings reached $414 billion in August 2025, driven by ETF inflows and corporate treasury strategies. Corporate reserves increased 40% in Q3 to $117 billion, while 172 listed companies now hold Bitcoin, collectively owning over 1 million BTC. MicroStrategy remains the largest corporate holder with 640,000 BTC, and as of October 2025, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs manage $169.48 billion in assets, representing 6.79% of Bitcoin’s market cap. Threshold sees this shift as an opportunity to shift to institutional positioning.
Renewed Focus: Institutional Access with Bitcoin’s Integrity
The redesigned Threshold Network website features a clean, minimal layout designed for clarity and accessibility. It represents Threshold’s transition from a single protocol to a comprehensive ecosystem that enables Bitcoin to move freely across financial markets.
The accompanying tBTC app has been upgraded to simplify the Bitcoin-to-DeFi experience. Users can now mint tBTC directly to supported chains with a single BTC transaction, without secondary approvals or unnecessary steps. Redemptions back to Bitcoin mainnet are equally straightforward, mirroring Bitcoin’s simplicity while maintaining full decentralization.
The upgrade also introduces several new features:
- Use tBTC: A new section built to help users discover where they can deploy tBTC or put their Bitcoin to work. It provides a comprehensive overview of tBTC integrations across multiple DeFi protocols.
- Vaults: a new dashboard that consolidates integrated tBTC vault strategies into a single interface. It allows users to access curated, externally managed vault strategies built for ease of use.
- My Activity: This section offers a unified record of all user actions across minting, redeeming, and vault participation. Every transaction is logged onchain, allowing users to easily track their history and monitor performance over time.
The New tBTC App: Simplicity and Precision for Large Scale Adoption
The new tBTC app introduces a simplified interface focused on efficiency, transparency, and security. It allows users to move between Bitcoin and DeFi markets seamlessly while maintaining complete self-custody of their assets.
Streamlined Minting and Redemption
Users can now move effortlessly between Bitcoin and a range of supported networks, including Ethereum, Layer 2s, and non-EVM chains, through a single, seamless process.
This new functionality removes the friction traditionally involved in bringing Bitcoin into DeFi. Users can now mint and redeem tBTC quickly, securely, and without unnecessary costs or approvals.
- Direct minting to supported chains enables capital to flow efficiently into DeFi markets, allowing institutions to deploy Bitcoin liquidity across multiple ecosystems without relying on centralized intermediaries.
- Direct redemption to Bitcoin mainnet gives users confidence that they can always return to native Bitcoin, maintaining trust and liquidity across all use cases.
- No Layer 2 signing required means that even complex transactions can be completed with a single Bitcoin transfer, reducing operational overhead for institutional treasuries and simplifying onboarding for individual users.
Together, these upgrades position tBTC as the most efficient and permissionless access for Bitcoin in DeFi markets.
Gasless Minting on Supported Networks
Gasless minting is now possible on supported networks. Users only need to deposit Bitcoin; no wallet signatures or additional gas fees are required. They simply connect their wallet, send Bitcoin to a single-use address, and receive tBTC on their chosen chain. This feature allows users to utilize Bitcoin capital efficiently without compromising custody or cost.
“This is a major protocol upgrade that represents Threshold’s maturity as a network,” said Callan Sarre, Co-Founder and CPO of Threshold Labs.
“We’ve rebuilt the app to give users a unified experience. Mint, redeem, and deploy Bitcoin faster, with confidence and transparency. The new interface delivers what users, both institutional and individual, have consistently asked for: clarity and control without compromise.”
Building the Future of Bitcoin
Threshold Network, a cross-chain Bitcoin infrastructure protocol that enables BTC to move securely across multiple blockchains, has upgraded its app to support direct minting to supported networks with zero gas fees. The upgrade allows Bitcoin holders to access yield strategies, lending markets, and liquidity provision without first routing transactions through Ethereum Layer 1.
This release enables users to mint tBTC directly from the Bitcoin network into supported onchain ecosystems, removing the need for L1 bridging and significantly simplifying user onboarding.
“The scale of institutional adoption since ETF approvals has been extraordinary,” said MacLane Wilkison, Co-Founder and CEO of Threshold Labs.
“Our focus is on building the infrastructure that allows institutions, funds, and corporates to interact with Bitcoin onchain securely. As traditional finance integrates Bitcoin into its portfolios, tBTC stands as the bridge that ensures this participation remains decentralized and transparent.”
With tBTC available across major ecosystems, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Sui, Starknet, BOB, and Optimism, Threshold continues to expand its integrations to increase liquidity and, soon, enable access to institutional capital.
Users can explore the new app and website at https://threshold.network
About Threshold Network
Threshold Network is the decentralized protocol behind tBTC, a permissionless 1:1 Bitcoin-backed asset secured by a 51-of-100 threshold signer model. tBTC enables native BTC to move across chains like Ethereum, Base, Sui, Arbitrum, and Starknet without requiring custodians or compromising security. With over 5 years of proven security and about $4.8B in bridge volume, Threshold offers the most battle-tested, trust-minimized Bitcoin infrastructure onchain.
