What if you could pay for concert tickets with your wallet? Here is the method Bermuda is preparing.

Bermuda's ticket sales platform, PTIX, is preparing a feature to pay for tickets using digital assets. This plan was announced by WalletConnect and local partner Penrose on October 29.

The mechanism involves the buyer paying from their wallet, which then sends the funds directly to the event organizer's wallet instead of the ticket platform holding the money. This structure seems feasible when the ticket sales platform and the event organizer receiving the funds are separate entities.

This feature is not yet available for immediate use on PTIX. The service is currently scheduled to launch in Q2 2027. We will need to keep an eye out for further launch announcements regarding actual supported wallets, assets, and refund policies.

There's a case of cars exported from Japan being paid for with stablecoins.

Japanese car exporter SAT Japan has partnered with payment provider Triple-A to add stablecoin payments for overseas vehicle purchases. This was announced on October 29.

Overseas buyers who meet the requirements can pay for their vehicles in USDT or USDC, with Triple-A handling payment processing, currency exchange, and settlement. The seller does not hold the stablecoins directly and receives the settlement in USD.

This means there's now an alternative to traditional bank transfers when buying cars from abroad. However, it doesn't apply to all orders, and availability depends on the purchase conditions and region.

With Devcon 8 starting today, ETHIndia will also be held tomorrow. While the name usually brings hackathons to mind, this year it's taking place as a one-day conference for Ethereum builders in India.

The event will be held on November 4th at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, within the Devcon venue. You'll need a Devcon ticket to enter.

The official page lists speakers including Saumya Saxena from Base and Ashish Singhal, co-founder of CoinSwitch. It will be interesting to hear what the Ethereum builders and users in India have to discuss.

Detailed schedules and info on broadcasts or recordings will be released later. If you're following along from Korea, I recommend checking the event page again.

Devcon 8 starts tomorrow, and you don't need to go to Mumbai to follow the presentations. Following up on my last post introducing the event, here are a few things to keep in mind if you're watching from Korea.

First, take a look at the official schedule to pick the sessions and times you're interested in. This year's event takes place in Mumbai, India, from November 3rd to 6th.

Korea is 3 hours and 30 minutes ahead of India. If the schedule is displayed in local time, a 9:30 AM presentation will be at 1:00 PM in Korea. You'll want to check which time zone the schedule is showing first.

According to the official Devcon FAQ, sessions will be streamed, and recordings will be uploaded to YouTube and the Devcon app. However, it's hard to assume every program will be handled the same way, so it's a good idea to check the details for your chosen sessions before the event.

Even if you can't make it to Mumbai, picking out at least one presentation to watch would be great! 😄

What if you could pre-fund international remittances using stablecoins?

Visa Direct has moved its feature that uses stablecoins for international money transfers from a pilot program to an actual service. This news was announced by Visa on October 15.

Through its first partner, Inyo Global, eligible companies can now pre-fund their international payments using USDC. Stablecoins are being used during the liquidity preparation phase for companies like remittance providers or fintech firms.

The key point here is that this doesn't mean a new remittance app for everyday users to send crypto directly has launched! This feature is applied to corporate fund transfers, and availability depends on the region and eligibility.

If there were a challenge that rewarded you for getting a good night's sleep, would you be able to head to bed a little earlier? 😄

Go Health Me, featured at ETHGlobal Tokyo, is an experimental project that allows you to set sleep or exercise goals and verify them using wearable device data.

Participants stake test USDC to join a challenge, and the funds from those who fail to reach their goals are distributed to those who succeed. If everyone fails or there's no wearable data to verify, the staked amounts are returned.

Your sleep duration isn't posted directly to the blockchain. According to the team, only the verification of whether the goal was met is recorded on-chain, rather than the raw health data.

It's still a project using test USDC on the Base Sepolia testnet. Rather than viewing it as a health app to make real money, it's better to see it as an experiment in connecting wearable data with on-chain settlement.

The Stellar network is now natively supported on MetaMask.

MetaMask mobile and browser extension now support Stellar as a native network. This was announced by the Stellar Development Foundation on October 29th.

You can now view your Stellar address in multi-chain accounts without needing to manually add the network. It allows you to store, send, and receive XLM and supported Stellar assets.

Keep in mind that just because an address is visible, it doesn't mean you can receive all tokens immediately. According to MetaMask, you need to receive at least 1 XLM to activate the new Stellar address, and for tokens other than XLM, you will need to set up a trustline to receive those assets.

홍콩 결제 앱에 홍콩달러 스테이블코인이 추가됬네요

HSBC가 홍콩에서 운영하는 결제 앱 PayMe에 홍콩달러 기반 스테이블코인 RedCoin을 도입했습니다. 10월 23일 출시 발표에서 이용자들이 앱 안에 스테이블코인 지갑을 활성화할 수 있도록 며칠에 걸쳐 순차 제공한다고 밝혔어요. RedCoin은 홍콩 금융관리국의 발행 인가를 받은 스테이블코인입니다.

지갑을 활성화하면 RedCoin으로 지인에게 돈을 보내거나, 지원하는 가맹점에서 결제할 수 있어요. 코인 앱을 따로 찾아가기보다 평소 쓰던 PayMe 안에 송금·결제 수단이 하나 더 들어온 셈이네요.

HSBC는 연내 홍콩 모바일 뱅킹 앱에도 RedCoin 지갑을 제공하고, 토큰화된 투자상품을 구입할 때도 쓸수 있도록 할 계획이라고 합니다.

The Ethereum community is heading to Mumbai next month. Devcon 8 is taking place from November 3–6 at the Jio World Centre in India. While it sounds like a developer-focused event, the topics being discussed are much broader than that.

Devcon is an event where Ethereum developers, researchers, and various community members gather to discuss technology and future directions. This year, they will cover everything from technical upgrades to security, privacy, AI agents, and community building. It might sound a bit intimidating at first, but if you look at it through the lens of questions like, "What more should a wallet tell you before you sign?" or "How do I protect my data on a public blockchain?", it becomes quite relatable.

The event spans four days and includes presentations, panel discussions, and workshops across multiple stages, alongside community-led spaces. It’s less of a formal conference and more of a space for people to bring what they’re building and the challenges they’re facing to share with others. Please note that the detailed schedule is still being finalized and is subject to change.

It’s not easy to just hop over to Mumbai, haha, but I’m curious to see not just what new technologies will be revealed, but how they plan to solve the things users have found inconvenient. It’ll be interesting to see how closely these tech topics translate to our daily lives, from wallets to personal privacy.

Samsung Wallet has announced a USDC transfer feature that doesn't require the recipient to have a crypto wallet. It's said that transfers sent to supported bank accounts in over 60 countries can be received in the local currency.

In an October 7 announcement, Samsung stated that it would introduce the feature in the final week of October for Galaxy users in the U.S. who meet the eligibility requirements. (This announcement is specifically for U.S. users!)

The cost varies depending on the transfer method. Samsung does not charge a remittance fee when sending USDC to supported external wallets, but the receiving wallet provider or exchange may charge their own fees. If sending to a bank account, fees will be applied based on the destination and the amount.

For bank transfers, the app will display the fee and estimated arrival time before final confirmation. You are advised to check the list of supported countries within the app as well. Note that some banks or account types may not be supported, so it is a good idea to verify the recipient's account details.
