$DOP Announces Listing on 7 Exchanges including BYBIT, Kucoin, Gate.io, and Bitfinex

Tokyo, Japan, July 5th, 2024, Chainwire

 

$DOP, the token of the Data Ownership Protocol (DOP) will be available for trading in 7 major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bybit, Kucoin, HTX, Bitfinex, Gate.io, MEXC, and WhiteBIT, starting July 5th, 2024.

The Data Ownership Protocol clarified that on Bybit, the token will be listed as $DOP1 to avoid confusion with an existing fiat coin. On KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitfinex, MEXC, and WhiteBIT, the token will be listed as $DOP.

DOP launched its mainnet six weeks ago, following a highly successful testnet phase that saw participation from 2.67 million users. In the last six months, the DOP ecosystem has grown significantly. Over 1 million DOP wallets have been opened, and assets worth more than 10 million USD have been encrypted using the protocol, showcasing the increasing demand for user-centric data ownership solutions.

“$DOP is the token of Data Ownership Protocol, a project that seeks to balance transparency and privacy on the blockchain, putting users in control of their data. The listing of our utility token marks a significant milestone and enhances our vision for the future of data ownership. We are thankful to our supporters and community who have believed in our mission from day one”, said Kohji Hirokado, co-founder of DOP and ex-core member at Cardano.

Currently, the $DOP token serves two primary functions within the ecosystem: facilitating fee payments and granting community rewards. The usage of the protocol’s data ownership features incurs fees payable in DOP tokens, creating a native demand for the token.

This system incentivizes DOP token retention while implementing a deflationary mechanism through fee burning. It also rewards network supporters via staking distributions. To date, 210,000,000 DOP tokens have been allocated for staking rewards, with over 1.1 billion DOP tokens already staked.

The listing announcement comes on the heels of Bybit’s positioning as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, surpassing Coinbase and trailing only Binance. Bybit’s ascent has been remarkable, with its market share doubling from 8% to 16% since October 2023.

To communicate the plans for the second half of 2024, DOP released a new roadmap following Q1’s success. The plan introduces a $5 million developer grant program, expands protocol capabilities, and plans deployment on EVM-compatible chains beyond Ethereum, reducing gas fees and reaching more users.

Moreover, the new developer SDK will enable developers to easily integrate and build dApps within the DOP ecosystem. Other objectives aim to enhance user security for managing NFTs by expanding functionality beyond ERC-20 tokens to include encryption and decryption of NFTs.

Bybit Bolsters Compliance with Appointment of New Chief Legal & Compliance Officer

2024-09-30T13:18:52Z

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert MacDonald as the new Chief Legal & Compliance Officer. With a distinguished career spanning both the public sector and traditional finance, Robert brings a wealth of expertise in regulatory compliance and combating financial crime, reinforcing Bybit’s commitment to legal integrity, principled compliance, and robust governance.

Robert’s leadership will be instrumental in paving a sustainable and responsible path for Bybit’s continued growth. He began his career practicing criminal law as a barrister in London, specializing in the field of financial crime, before serving the U.K. Ministry of Justice. Over the next decade, Robert embarked on a cross-continental journey mostly in traditional finance and banking, working for global institutions including one of the world’s largest asset managers, South Korea’s most popular eCommerce company, and crypto exchange Binance. 

In his new role, Robert will oversee a joint legal and compliance team in navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. The team is comprised of a dedicated taskforce of legal counsels who cover a wide array of global legal issues and topical research, as well as a versatile compliance function including: a regulatory compliance function looking after licensing and registrations matters across jurisdictions and adherence to local requirements; a global compliance team of Money Laundering Reporting Officers; and specialists in compliance operations focusing on a safe and responsible client onboarding process including rigorous compliance controls throughout the user lifecycle.

“Bybit’s vision is to build a company that stands the test of time—lasting a hundred years or more,” said Helen Liu, Chief Operating Officer at Bybit. “A strong foundation begins with a culture of compliance and a dedication to doing things the right way. We’re thrilled to have Robert on board, as his decade of experience and keen insight into evolving regulatory trends will be invaluable to our continued growth and long-term success,” she added.

Robert said he sees inconsistencies in regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions as the key challenge to the industry. “There is a lack of uniformity in how cryptocurrencies are classified and regulated, which creates uncertainty for businesses and investors. Additionally, many governments are grappling with issues related to consumer protection, money laundering, and taxation,” said Robert MacDonald, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer at Bybit.“ The focus on stabilizing and regulating stablecoins and ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations are also pressing challenges. These issues give legitimate crypto exchanges with the technical know-how and right culture an opportunity to change the digital asset industry for the better. For regulators, the evolving nature of the technology and the fast-paced growth of the crypto market is a pain point, and many acknowledge a growing demand for more comprehensive regulations and clearer guidelines,” he continued.

Undeterred by the challenges, Robert said Bybit’s invitation presented him an opportunity to make a difference in the industry. “I am thrilled to join Bybit at this exciting time, this role brings together my legal, compliance and previous crypto experiences. Bybit is on an incredible growth trajectory, and doing this in a sustainable manner by ensuring we build a world-class legal and compliance function with adherence to local regulations is key.”
