For those unaware, Xubuntu is one of the official flavors of Ubuntu, i.e. a fork/derivate of the distro. The name is a portmanteau of Xfce and Ubuntu. Anyway, from what I can tell from user […]
Chinese technology groups including Ant Group and JD.com have paused plans to issue stablecoins in Hong Kong after regulators in Beijing, notably the People’s Bank of China and the Cyberspace Administration of China, advised against moving forward. The Financial Times reported that the companies had expressed interest in Hong Kong’s pilot stablecoin program and tokenized […]
