Hackers Hijack X Account of Microsoft to Push Fake Crypto Coin

MindWave Innovations Inc. (NYSE American: APUS) Pairs Insured Blockchain with Multi-Vertical Commercial Strategy

MindWave's infrastructure centers on MindChain, which the company has billed as the world's first fully insured blockchain. The token tying this together is $NILA, currently a BEP-20 token with a total supply of roughly 1.06 billion. Many blockchain ecosystems rely heavily on token issuance and community funding to support development. A project issues a token, sells some of it and hopes enough demand develops to support the ecosystem as products…

Report Shows Most Crypto is Owned in the US
