Sengol

On December 10,2020 when PM Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the new parliament building, the deadline for the completion of the project was October 2022 which was shifted to March, 2023. The March deadline was also not met, but everybody knows that the project is near completion, and the inauguration date could be announced any time and as per expectations 28 May is decided as the date for the inauguration of the new Parliament.

It was not surprising that as soon as the announcement was made, many opposition parties started firing allegation towards government. What came as a surprise for many of us was the pacing of ‘Sengol’ in the new parliament building. Many questions hits in mind one by one. What is Sengol? Where was it all the time? Who made it? What does it signify? Where will it be placed? Don’t worry. Your mind will be free from question related to Sengol after reading this write up as it contains answers to all your question.

The historic ‘Sengol’ that is going to be installed in the new parliament building was received by the first PM of India Jawaharlal Nehru from the then Viceroy of India Lord Mountbatten on 14 August 1947 at around 10:45 PM at his residence in the presence of many other prominent leaders of the time. PM Nehru received this as the symbol of the transfer of power from British at his residence. When the decision of the independence of India was final, Lord Mountbatten was sent as the viceroy to complete the process of independence without hinderance. Mountbatten being unaware of rituals and customs of Indian culture he asked PM Nehru about the special ceremony to be organized for the transfer of power. Nehru discussed this with C. Rajagopalachari fondly known as Rajaji, and after extensive research of Indian culture Rajaji told Pandit Nehru about the tradition of transfer of power during Chola dynasty and how ‘Sengol’ was used to mark this.

The Sengol gets its name from the Tamil word ‘semmai’, meaning righteousness. The sceptre is a historical symbol of Independence as it signifies the transfer of power from the British to the Indians. “The Sengol signifies justice, integrity and unfailing good governance of the king who holds it,” said Mani Maran, a Tamil Pandit at Saraswathi Mahal Library in Thanjavur in an interview given to Times of India on Wednesday. “Tamil emperors like Cholas were usually holding a sceptre in their hands. After crowning the new king, his predecessor or the rajaguru handed over the sceptre during the ceremonial occasion. Thiruvalluvar mentions the sceptre while referring to the rule of law. Sangam works like the Silapathikaram mentions the superiority and importance of the sceptre,” he added. Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressing a press conference on Wednesday said, “The ‘sengol’ represents values of fair and equitable governance.”

The responsibility of arranging a sceptre was handed to Rajaji by Pandit Nehru. Rajaji reached out to Thiruvaduthurai Atheenam, a well-known mutt in Tamil Nadu’s Tanjore district for assistance and its leader commissioned the manufacturing of the Sengol to Chennai-based “Vummidi Bangaru Chetty” jewelers, as per the official document. It was crafted by two men namely, Vummidi Ethirajulu and Vummidi Sudhakar. It is made of silver with a coat of gold. The sceptre is five feet tall and has a ‘Nandi’ bull on top, symbolizing justice and goddess Laxmi is inscribed on it. It was made in 30 days. According to the official documents, the sceptre was handed to Lord Mountbatten by the Deputy high priest of the Adheenam and was taken back. It was then taken to Pandit Nehru’s house in procession and handed over to him. A special song was rendered, as specified by the high priest. The ceremonial sceptre was kept at the Allahabad Museum, along with several other historical objects associated with Jawaharlal Nehru, as part of the Nehru Gallery of the museum.

Now the Sengol has been moved to Delhi and would be placed near the Lok Sabha speaker’s chair in the new parliament building. Citing resources India Today reported that the Sengol will be ceremoniously transported to the House in a grand procession. The occasion is likely to be steeped in Tamil tradition. The Nadaswaram, would lead the procession with a group of musicians will be playing Tamil Nadu’s traditional instrument. Modi is expected to walk along with the procession. “Adheenams,” or priests from Shaivite mutts in Tamil Nadu, will be present in the Lok Sabha’s Well. The priests will sanctify the Sengol with holy water after Modi greets them at the well, India Today added. The “Oduvars,” or Tamil temple singers, will lyrically recite the “Kolaru Padhigam” in the background as the Nadaswaram musicians enchant with their soulful music. The Sengol will be presented to the prime minister after this revered ceremony and placed in a glass case next to the Speaker’s seat in the House.

After decades of anonymity, this holy sceptre will quadruple the magnificence of new parliament building. and always remind us of the hardship that our forefathers had while fighting for independence and will motivate us to defend this independence.

Authorities in Constitutional positions must exemplify their conduct by high standards of propriety, dignity and decorum

 The Vice-President of India, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar today stressed that disruption and disturbance in the temples of democracy cannot be weaponised as political strategy and appealed to Legislators and Presiding officers to urgently address this malaise.

Addressing the silver jubilee celebrations of Kerala Legislative Assembly building- Niyamasabha– in Thiruvananthapuram today, the Vice-President said that authorities in constitutional positions must exemplify their conduct by high standards of propriety, dignity and decorum.

Shri Dhankhar asked the legislatures to draw inspiration from the Constituent Assembly which dealt with many complex issues without any disruptions, and underlined that effective and productive legislature functioning is the safest guarantee to blossoming and preserving democratic values and holding executive accountable. He also called for stamping out the “worrisome trend of intolerance towards the other point of view”.

Stressing that in a democracy not all issues can be evaluated via partisan prism, the Vice-President urged everyone to rise above partisan stance, giving primacy to national interest. He also raised the question as to why “the wit, humour, and sarcasm- once hallmark of exchanges between stalwarts in the Parliament and Legislatures” are disappearing from public discourse, urging legislators to revive the same.

The Vice-President noted that the Constitution provides the privilege of freedom of speech within the precincts of the House, however he cautioned that this freedom should be utilized for a healthy debate to sustain a vibrant democratic tradition, and not for disruptive purposes. “Parliament and Legislatures are not platforms of free fall of unverified information,” he highlighted.

Emphasising that in any democracy, Parliamentary sovereignty is inviolable, the Vice-President said, “essence of democracy lies in the prevalence of the ordainment of the people reflected through legitimised platform- Parliament and the Legislatures.”

Congratulating the people of Kerala and their elected representatives on this milestone of the silver jubilee of their legislative building, the Vice-President underlined that such buildings are much beyond a work of brick and mortar. “The Kerala Legislative Assembly building represents the will of the people, spirit of democracy and essence of the Constitution,” he noted.

Stating that the state is known for its forward-thinking perspective and commitment to social justice, the Vice-President praised the Legislative Assembly of Kerala for enacting many progressive legislations worth noticing by other Legislatures. “As current legislators, you also inherit a shining legacy. It is your duty to make it lustrous,” he told the legislators.

Lauding the state for having one of the highest internet penetrations in the country and harnessing the potential of emerging technologies, the Vice-President expressed his hope that the State’s quality human resources combined with its progressive work culture will help in scripting new pathways in governance. He also commended the Keralite diaspora that has contributed immensely to the States Gross Domestic Product through their remittance.

Shri Arif Mohammad Khan, Governor of Kerala, Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, Chief Minister of Kerala, Shri A N Shamseer, Speaker of Kerala Legislative Assembly, Shri Chittayam Gopakumar, Deputy Speaker of Kerala Legislative Assembly, Shri V D Satheesan, Leader of Opposition of Kerala Legislative Assembly, Shri K Radhakrishnan, Minister in the Government of Kerala, and other dignitaries were also present on the occasion.

This is Shri Dhankhar’s maiden visit to Kerala since assuming the office of the Vice-President. Describing the state as the land of pristine natural beauty and rich culture, the VP said that he was delighted to be in ‘God’s Own Country’. During his address, he paid his salutations to the eminent personalities hailing from the State, and lauded their contributions.

On arrival in Kerala on May 21st, 2023, the Vice-President along with Dr Sudesh Dhankhar visited the renowned Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and prayed for the well-being and happiness of all.

He remarked that the role of global institutions like the WHO will be even more important for the challenges that lie ahead in the future. “India is committed to helping every effort to build a healthier world”, the Prime Minister concluded.

India is an invited country at the 49th G-7 Summit.: A Few Facts

The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is in Hiroshima, Japan, from May 19 to 21 where he represents India as an invited country at the 49th G-7 Summit. The G-7 Summit is a platform for India to take its many multilateral engagements forward. A few facts about G-7 may be mentioned here for the benefit of readers. The points have been collected from the website, http://www.g7hiroshima.go.jp/en/summit.
The G7 Summit is an international forum held every year for the leaders of the G7 member States viz., France, the USA, the U.K., Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada (in order of rotating presidency), and the European Union (EU) and India is an invited country at the 49th G-7 Summit.
At the G7 Summit, the leaders share fundamental values such as freedom, democracy, and human rights, exchange views on important challenges the international community is facing at that time, such as the global economy, regional affairs, and various global issues, and issue a document as an outcome of such discussions. 
It may be mentioned here that in the 1970s, developed countries that faced various challenges such as the Nixon shock (1971) and the first oil crisis (1973) began recognizing the need to create a forum to comprehensively discuss policy coordination of macro economy, currency, trade, and energy, among others, at a leader’s level. Against this backdrop, proposed by then-French President Giscard d’Estaing, the first Summit was held in November 1975 at the Chateau de Rambouillet (located on the outskirts of Paris), with participation from six countries—France, the U.S.A., the U.K., Germany, Japan, and Italy. Since then, Summits have been taking place annually with rotating Presidencies. In 2023, as the G7 Presidency, Japan is hosting the G7 Hiroshima Summit. It has significant implications that the leaders of the G7 gather for discussions in Hiroshima, a city that has recovered from the catastrophic damage by an atomic bomb and which continues to seek lasting world peace.
According to the Prime Minister of Japan Kishida, the world is facing an unprecedented crisis by aggression against Ukraine and the growing risk of use of weapons of mass destruction, at the G7 Hiroshima Summit in 2023, Japan would like to demonstrate G7’s strong determination to categorically deny military aggressions, any threats of nuclear weapons, as well as attempts to overthrow the international order with historical significance. From such viewpoints, the Government of Japan decided to host the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, considering Hiroshima as the most fitting location to express its commitment to peace. I visited Hiroshima in the month of March 2023 and I was very distressed to watch the awful effects of Atom Bomb. We all know the first Atom Bomb was dropped in Hiroshima depicting the most cruelty of human suffering. I visited many countries in the world and across India but I was in pain and ‘my eyes filled with tears’ after visiting Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (Park) in March 2023. During the Second World War, the USA on August 6, 1945, dropped the first Atom Bomb on Hiroshima, and then on August 9, 1945, another Atom Bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. When I visited Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (Park word was used), I observed the worst suffering of human beings through photographs, documentary films, terrifying photographs of survivors, the awful effects of explosions, and artifacts such as melted glass, deformed bicycles, charred clothes, etc., portrayed the unimaginable, unbelievable cruelty created by human beings against innocent human beings.
Anyway, for the G-7, engaging with India is imperative for several reasons (thediplomat.com/2023/05). First, with a GDP of $2.66 trillion, India’s economy is larger than the three member countries of the G-7 – France, Italy, and Canada. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and is expected to grow at 5.9 percent in 2023-2024. The World Bank has mentioned that India’s growth rate is the highest among the seven largest emerging-market and developing economies. It is pertinent o mention that India surpassed China as the most populous country in the world. With 68 percent of the population of working age (15-64 years) and 65 percent of the population under the age of 35, India offers a young and abundant skilled and semi-skilled workforce. Hope, G-7 and G-20 will help the people of the world to develop economically with good and sustainable earning of per capita income vis-à-vis world should be free from War.

An Innovative Project of Belur Math, Gadadhar Abhyudaya Prakalpa (GAP): A Case from Shillong Ramkrishna Mission

According to UNICEF, in India “High levels of malnutrition (38.4 percent children are stunted), poor learning outcomes (only 42.5 percent of children in grade three can read a grade one text), vaccine-preventable diseases and child labour persist”. Lack of nutritious food, medical care, good education, basic facilities, etc., are commonly observed among the children living in slums, footpaths, and many rural areas. Keeping these conditions in mind, the Gadadhar Abhyudaya Prakalpa (GAP) was launched in October 2010, as a part of the 4-year long 150th Birth Anniversary Celebration of Swami Vivekananda, for the 3-fold development of the needy and backward children — physical, mental and intellectual, and since then it has been running up till now in different parts of our country. The project ‘Gadadhar Abhyudaya Prakalpa’ (GAP), named after the childhood name of Sri Ramakrishna, i.e., ‘Gadadhar’, is being implemented for the betterment of the neglected slum and rural children who are often brought from the roadside huts and highly unhygienic garbage-dumping areas (belurmath.org/gadadhar-abhyudaya-prakalpa).
The objectives of GAP are:
• To instill moral and cultural values in the aforesaid targeted children
• To educate them with special coaching on their school subjects
• To inculcate a sense of cleanliness and hygiene in them
• To nourish them for their physical development
• To prepare them to be good citizens of India
For the benefit of readers, a case of GAP from Shillong Ramakrishna Mission is presented here. Ramakrishna Mission Shillong was established in 1937. It has three centers. One is a dispensary; the second is Vivekananda Cultural Centre and the other one is Ashram. In the dispensary, all sorts of tests are carried out by the medical team and doctors, in addition to giving medicines to the patients. In the Vivekananda Cultural Centre computer training is imparted to the children. Also, a spoken English language class is held. Here one library with a reading room (13,459 books and 38 newspapers and periodicals), an auditorium, and a meditation hall exist. Also, drawing and painting classes and training programs in Indian culture are held. In the Ashram, every Sunday discourses are held where Secretary Maharaj takes classes. Further in the Shillong Ashram under the guidance of Belur Math, the project GAP in three places is continuing. One is in the Ashram itself, the second one is in RR Colony and another one is at Waken Village. In each center 50 children who are from poor echelons of society attend. They come after the completion of school. And they are taught different types of crafts for skill development, yoga, prayer songs, patriotic songs, etc.
Every month each child is given hair oil, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, etc. free of cost. As food, they are provided with Horlicks, egg, loaf, pounded rice, vegetables curry, etc. from Monday to Saturday. Of course, only on Saturday rice is given along with curry and egg. From nursery to class VI, children are included under the GAP project but all belong to economically backward. In each center, there are four staff – one for cooking and the others are teachers. All are provided with the minimum honorarium as they serve here selflessly. Wishing GAP great success and I offer my heartfelt regards to the Maharajas of Belur Math for conceiving such a project in the name of a great soul ‘Gadadhar’.

Moscow City Crypto Exchanges Ready To Send Cash To London

 Cryptos are becoming a favorable investment option among many investors. These assets are an easy option for seamless transfers to any part of the world. And as there are no strict regulations on this market yet, the users find it easier to use it for transactions. Check out the Official Website profit system Immediate Profit for those who are new to cryptocurrency trading and investing.

As per some recent reports, many Russian users are sending USDT to the UK. They are doing this with the help of several Cryptocurrency exchanges. Russians are using these exchanges as a medium to send people to the UK to send USDT. But what’s the reason behind such increased cases? Learn about this aspect through this blog!

Investigation Finds Out This Aspect 

Photo by energepic.com on Pexels.com

An investigation was carried out on all the exchanges which revealed this news. This investigation was done on all the exchanges present in the capital city of Russia. It reveals that every user of these exchanges who are buying Cryptos is ready to deliver currencies to London. 

But, the investigation is unable to bring out the true identity of those users. This was stated in the investigation report by Transparency International Russia (TIR). As per this organization and The Bell, another media platform states that many exchanges are offering some unique services at present. 

The services of these exchanges let Russians withdraw digital assets in the form of cash in London. The investigating organization states that, due to these services, transferring funds out of the nation has become quite easy now! And this feature is possible because of all the exchanges present in Moscow. 

Are There Zero Restrictions? 

You may now wonder if there are almost no restrictions on such easy movement of funds. But, there are strict controls and regulations for the movement of any funds moving out of Russia. Counter-sanctions and sanctions place these limitations on the fund movement out of the nation. 

Despite these restrictions, almost eight Crypto exchanges in Russia are ready for this move. They will let their users transfer USDT out of Russia. The exchanges also mention that they will help in converting the assets into cash to deliver in London. 

How Are These Exchanges Making The Conversion Possible? 

When the TIR carried out the investigation and recruited some undercover agents, some interesting facts were found. The agents revealed that they were not required to provide any kind of documents and passports for transferring the funds! This is quite a shocking part and reveals interesting facts about the exchanges. 

Rather, the exchanges ask for some particular details. These questions may include details about the collector of the funds, like what they will wear or the serial number of banknotes! 

The investigation also reveals that all such UK-based couriers were prominent and of Russian origin. And they carried out the discussion about handover and other details on Telegram alone! 

A Glimpse Of Some Exchanges 

The best example of such a Russian-based exchange is that of the Suex. In 2021, this exchange had to face US sanctions. This is because Washington assumes that this exchange has links with money laundering actions and helps its users do the same. 

The organization also adds a note here about Suex. It states that as the platform fails to provide any customer details, they are violating the anti-money laundering rules of Britain. 

Investigation Finds Trace Of Such Activities 

The researchers of the organization are capable of tracing some of the wallets associated with these exchanges. After this, they are also able to trace the history of such digital wallets. 

After having a view of the history of such wallets, the researchers found that many wallets even transferred USDT worth 470,000 USD! Besides that, the investigation highlights that these exchanges have aided in transferring small amounts of less popular Cryptos. 

Conclusion

Amidst such activities, the Russian government AML agency states that it is monitoring around 25,000 suspected users. All these users are under suspicion of carrying out AML activities. 

These facts highlight that Russians are more actively transferring their funds outside the nation. Also, these exchanges are facilitating these activities without asking for any KYC or other details of the users while transferring the same. And this calls for strict scrutiny in the nation.

Top 10k Bitcoin investors control one-third of the supply.

 As we all know, bitcoin is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies today in the market. No matter whether you like it or not, it has become the first crypto in the world. It is one of the nearing things to decentralized assets. 

The thing which one should note is that it has some pressure points. For pressure points, we do not mean failure. It refers to the investors who have invested hugely in bitcoins. It is to be determined whether such currencies will take off the market any day. If you want to invest in bitcoins then you can visit online trading platforms like Limmercoin

Santoshi Nakamoto

Santoshi Nakamoto is one of the founders who has the largest number of bitcoin today. We exactly don’t know if he came to the top list individually or in a group. But he holds around 1 million bitcoins today. This million in total means 5.2% of the total supply of BTC. And this becomes a huge amount. 

Still, no one is aware of Santoshi Nakamoto. However, it is a great risk for a person to such any currency in such a large number. 

According to Coinbase, it is a big risk for his businesses. This news was viral among the public in the year 2021. Also, it has been said that an anonymous person Santoshi Nakamoto holds the largest number of bitcoin, which is a huge risk. 

It is a fool’s game to speculate on Santoshi Nakamoto’s identity. Even Bitcoins he is holding can be lost forever. There is no difficulty in observing the coinbase listing it as a risk on its filling. All we can say is a person has around 5.2 percent of BTC. But no one can even determine who can have it. 

Bitcoin whales

After knowing about Nakamoto, it was found that there are some wallets where there are bitcoins available. National Bureau of economic research said that the top 10000 Bitcoin investors on the list have around one-third of the total supply. 

It is not an appropriate value but is an approximation. Hence, it is likely, not possible to control such a huge number by a single person. As discussed above, Nakamoto is the one to hold 5.2 percent of BTC. But no one has any idea whether he is owned as an individual or not. 

Bitcoin returned almost 230 percent of bitcoin in the years 2011 and 2021. It is doing so to outperform the financial asset of the world. It is a piece of shocking news that an individual is holding such a large amount of BTC. 

If you would have invested something 2000 dollars in the year 2010, you will get around 10000 bitcoins. That number of BTC costs 26 dollars in today’s time. As a result, the person who involved themselves in it too early has a lot of supply today and has earned huge from it. 

Also, it has been researched that only 114 addresses throughout the world contain 10000 bitcoins and more. so, these 114 addresses have almost 15.5 percent of the total supply of bitcoins. 

Some entities that have the largest number of bitcoins today

Not only individuals but there are some entities too who hold the largest number of BTC in the world. Among which the first is Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy who has 130000 bitcoins today. This number in approximation refers to 0.68 percent of the total supply. And hence it is a huge amount for any big company. But they have a fear that if in case the price of BTC decreases then what shall happen? 

Not only MicroStrategy but there is one more Chinese company holding a large number of BTC. That private company is Block.one which has currently 140000 bitcoins. This company has the highest number of bitcoin by a single entity. 

Conclusion

So there isn’t any doubt that the fundamentals of BTC make it a decentralized asset. The no downward of this currency made it a decentralized asset in the real world. Many entities and persons are holding Bitcoin today in huge numbers. For the early investors it is just marvelous as they can earn huge from it now. So, still, if you like to invest in any such currencies, bitcoin smart seems the best choice for you.

Ethereum will change the finance segment forever.

 A single process can consist of thousands of companies and touch people around the globe. Payment transactions, credit card fees, etc., occur at different times and with different currencies. Ethereum is a blockchain-based distributed computing platform that fuels intelligent contract functionality. If you want entirely automated trading services, you can visit websites like https://ethereumcode.app; here, you will get all the advanced bitcoin trading features. 

It allows for more flexible and transparent payments cheaper than today’s alternatives for everyone involved in the transaction—no matter where they are located or what currency they use. In finance, this will eliminate high fees for cross-border payments and limited payment options.

Cross-border payments are a critical part of the global value chain industry. There is no better time than now to test and explore this technology — with cryptocurrencies being available to all, the opportunity to integrate blockchain into modern finance is a gift that keeps on giving. Ethereum’s potential as a payment solution in supply chain relationships and worldwide reach is unparalleled. 

Implementation of blockchain in cross-border payments:

Implementing blockchain technology in these areas has endless possibilities, but it will take time. Because of this, many businesses are not taking advantage of this opportunity because they need to see it as likely for their specific industry. The finance sector is still littered with legacy systems that need to meet the needs of today’s companies. Financing, credit, and securities are all complicated processes that require complex forms and long waiting times. 

At the same time, compliance has become paramount in financial institutions worldwide. Blockchain technology can take those concerns off the table and simplify these processes for everyone involved. By using smart contracts to automate payments, projects can move forward more efficiently and quickly. In addition, innovative contract technology will eliminate a lot of unnecessary friction from working in this industry — which is desperately needed as banks evolve their services to accommodate new customers.

Peer-to-peer lending powered by Ethereum:

In finance, we typically see projects which rely on a centralized system or rely on an intermediary to facilitate the transaction. These technologies need to be updated and quickly replaced by newer ones. Cryptocurrencies provide a better way to make payments and lend money — primarily through peer-to-peer loans. Blockchain provides the necessary infrastructure for these platforms to flourish in this industry.

Blockchain can simplify loan agreements by automating processing through smart contracts. At these startups, borrowers provide good credit history and income verification, automatically verified by an automated system using blockchain smart contracts.

Ethereum can eliminate the option of remittance fees:

Remittance fees are a massive issue for global businesses. Sending money to other countries can be expensive and time-consuming, but it’s also this industry’s highest cost. These fees take a significant toll on business operations, and they need to be better suited to the digital age.

In supply chain relationships, remittances have become an essential part of the process. However, today’s methods are much more expensive and time-consuming than sending money through blockchain technology. Cross-border transactions made possible by smart contracts will eliminate all fees for international transactions — bringing about transfer savings of up to 80%.

Ethereum is one of the most scalable blockchains:

Blockchain has long been praised for its ability to handle high volumes of transactions. However, the block size limits the data people on a blockchain can record.   Ethereum can easily handle these volumes through sharding — a method that partitions data between validators. This method will increase the transaction speed, and the cost will decrease even further.

Ethereum enables more flexible and transparent payments:

The finance and tech industry has become very complicated in recent years — with so many contracts and transactions, it’s important to give businesses as much freedom as possible to adapt to their specific needs. Blockchain allows us to do this using smart contracts, which people can customize to include relevant data or regulations. 

In finance, we have limited options when it comes to cross-border payments. There are only so many services that offer transparency and flexibility while also being able to handle all the varying regulations in different countries. Ethereum’s global reach and decentralized nature is set up very well for this problem.

It is only the beginning of what’s possible with blockchain technology. While there are still many hurdles to clear before these technologies are widely adopted, Ethereum is well positioned at the forefront of these changes — creating a more efficient way for businesses and people to transact financially. 

Ethereum can make finance completely decentralized:

The blockchain “revolution” has just begun, and some of the most exciting and innovative projects are still in the works. Still, Ethereum is already showing tremendous potential for the finance industry.

Ethereum enables transactions without an intermediary:

The financial world has been plagued by intermediaries who take advantage of inefficiencies and make things more complicated than they need to be. The outdated systems we’re currently using don’t make sense for today’s world — with so many online businesses, it’s inefficient to have all these different third parties involved in every transaction.

Dubai to Abu Dhabi how NFTS are used in the UAE

Researchers of Bitcoin smart may now utilize NFTs to obtain funds and data thanks to a project still in progress at Dubai’s Jumeirah Village Circle. Dmitry Mikhailov, an artificial intelligence expert from Farkana Laboratories, spoke with Cointelegraph about his organization’s use of NFTs in research during the recent AIBC Dubai symposium in Festival City.

NFT tickets from BnB Chain infiltrate a party concert in Abu Dhabi Ultra Abu Dhabi, an underground electronic dance music (EDM) extravaganza including appearances by well-known DJs like Calvin Harris and Skrillex, Fellaz, and Taste of Web3. The race was staged on Yas Island, home to several attractions, including Ferrari World and the Yas Marina Circuit, where the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has been held annually since 2009.

NFT incentives are important for the charity.

The UAE has a strong tradition of civic engagement and philanthropic giving. The nation’s leaders lead several programs, and the government oversees social, philanthropic, and humanitarian activities inside and beyond the UAE. 

What are NFTs?

If you have been keeping up with recent technological advances, you have likely heard about NFTs or non-fungible currencies. Still, it might be difficult to grasp for someone with little or no technical experience. Here are my few bits on NFTs. This digital asset denotes ownership of an original piece of writing or material.

Consider it the digital equivalent of a collectible object like a rare baseball card or one-of-a-kind artwork.

The value of an NFt stems from its rarity and uniqueness, much like with these real works of art.

How are NFTs being adopted all over the world?

The United States, China, South Korea, and Japan are some of the nations that use NFTs in a significant way. Artists, singers, and even sports are utilizing NFTs in these nations to monetize their work and interact with their audience.

For its acceptance, the USA has seen a considerable increase in launching numerous NFT marketplaces & platforms. These nations are all leading the NFT revolution and advancing its growth and development.

NFTs adoption in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or UAE at large:

As every nation has joined the NFT bandwagon or is about to, a significant global economic hub like the UAE, whose core economy is dependent on oil, doesn’t want to fall behind in the NFT adoption race. In the UAE, especially in Dubai & Abu Dhabi, there is a surge in the usage of NFTs. Individuals, companies, and governmental organizations are adopting this cutting-edge technology at an increasing rate.

Role of government & Industries in promoting the Usage of NFTs in UAE

Through several initiatives, including “The Dubai Future Foundation,” which is leading the Global Cryptocurrency Challenge and inviting start-ups and innovators to come up with solutions using blockchain and NFTs to address general challenges, the government of Dubai is actively encouraging the adoption of NFTs and blockchain technology. 

Some sectors in the UAE are already investigating the use of NFTs. For instance, the Dubai-based art marketplace Artify allows artists to sell their non-traditional works on its website, giving them a new method to reach a worldwide audience and profit from their works. Seeing the potential of NFTs, the UAE’s sports sector has introduced NFT collections for football clubs & leagues, giving fans a new opportunity to interact with their personal favorites & players.

The Abu Dhabi government is investigating the use of NFTs in the real estate industry with intentions to digitize land registration and issue NFTs as ownership verification. Such actions by the UAE government would undoubtedly increase its ability to compete in the global economy.

Conclusion:                                                          

In conclusion, the UAE’s ambitious goal and intention to become a major center for NFTs adoption through distributed ledger technology & innovation has fueled the acceptance of NFTs in the country, notably in Dubai & Abu Dhabi.
