Crypto Industry Hopes Rise as Donald Trump Enters the White House
On January 20th, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States. Here’s our CEO Temujin Louie sharing his opinion regarding this important event in CoinJournal:
“It’s unclear how closely the administration intends to match international frameworks such as the EU’s MiCA with its regulatory plans. By closely monitoring the administration’s policies and adapting accordingly, the blockchain industry can remain focused on developing innovative solutions that promote the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology.”

Can This New XPort Case Study Provide the Answer for Enterprise Adoption?
Wanchain’s XPort technology is making waves in Web3, and it’s easy to see why. As crypto and DeFi grow bigger than ever, it’s clear that blockchains need to communicate with each other.
Launched in 2018, edeXa is a hybrid blockchain designed to bring blockchain technology tools to help businesses dive into the Web3 world. Think businesses, governments, and organizations. edeXa is not like most blockchains. It is built for the private sector, making it perfect for businesses. Thanks to Wanchain’s XPort technology, edeXa now offers cross-chain services. This opens endless possibilities for businesses to grow and innovate!
