Due to the technical complexities surrounding the recovery of unsupported assets, we can’t guarantee that any particular asset will be eligible in the future.

🚨 New Video Alert!! 🚨

The promise of crypto is that you can be on your own bank, but there’s not much else you can do that’s similar to a bank than custody your own assets. That is, until now.

There are emerging technologies in Bitcoin’s ecosystem which could provide the infrastructure to create a truly decentralised, permissionless, private, and BTC backed banking system.

Although these technologies are still in their early stages, the increased interest in Bitcoin’s ecosystem has supercharged their development, and we could see Bitcoin banks sooner than you think.

This is a video you can’t miss!

There’s a new kid on the block!

ERC-404, an all-new token standard, aims to combine the non-fungible aspects of NFTs with the fungibility of ERC-20 tokens - a fungible NFT, if you will.

This new standard has only been with us for less than a month. Despite this, it’s already managed to carve its way into the market, quickly becoming one of crypto’s biggest talking points.

However, not all of this talk is positive. ERC-404 is not only a hot topic for its potential, but also for its controversy.

That’s why today, we take a look at ERC-404, how it came to be, why it has divided investor opinions, and how this could disrupt the entire NFT ecosystem.
