PANews reported on October 30th that, according to The Block, IQ and Frax jointly announced on Thursday the launch of KRWQ, a stablecoin pegged to the Korean Won (KRW). In a press release, the two companies stated that with the launch of the KRWQ-USDC trading pair on the Aerodrome platform, KRWQ becomes the first stablecoin pegged to the Korean Won on Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 network. KRWQ is also the first multi-chain token pegged to the Korean Won, adopting LayerZero's full-chain fungible token (OFT) standard and leveraging the Stargate cross-chain bridge to enable token transfers across multiple blockchains. IQ announced that it will draw on Frax's expertise in regulatory compliance, particularly its experience with frxUSD, in the design of KRWQ to support institutional adoption and due diligence. Meanwhile, due to the ongoing efforts in South Korea to establish basic rules for stablecoins, KRWQ has not yet been marketed or offered to South Korean residents. The minting and redemption of this stablecoin are also limited to eligible counterparties such as exchanges, market makers, and institutional partners.PANews reported on October 30th that, according to The Block, IQ and Frax jointly announced on Thursday the launch of KRWQ, a stablecoin pegged to the Korean Won (KRW).

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down.

The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game.
