Web3 DDIDS: Is this the Future of Privacy and Data Control?

1 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 0 Second

Web3 Distributed Decentralized Identifiers Systems (DDIDS) could be the future of digital identity, presenting privacy, trust, and personal data control to people online. So what are DDIDS?

 

Considering the evolution of the internet, the current generation of internet users has traded their privacy with giant corporations for services. This has raised concerns over surveillance and data leaks that could harm innocent internet users. However, with the birth of blockchain technology, people could be safe from risking personal information for every sign-up or login they make online.

Distributed Decentralized Identifier Systems in Web3 use blockchain technology to create secure and self-owned digital identifiers.  This means a user controls their own Decentralized Identifier(DID) and not big tech companies. DDIDs have already been tested in some Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms, healthcare, education, and Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) governance.

Is this the future of data privacy?

With rising misuse of personal data by the big corporations in the tech industry, a mistrust of centralized systems is kicking in. Internet users have incurred losses due to database breaches or leakages, fuelling the desire for privacy and personal data control. DDIDs could be the solution to data privacy in the future.

Read Time:53 Second

A brand-new wallet has withdrawn 1,398 BTC valued at $118.3 million from the Kraken Exchange. Could this be another institutional buyer? 

 

Bitcoin is signalling a potential mid-term rally and has drawn significant institutional interest as of Q1 2025. As of press time, BTC is trading at $84,460 per CoinMarketCap data. Despite slight price fluctuations, Whale Insider has reported a mysterious wallet accumulating BTC, potentially anticipating a rally soon. According to the X post:

 

Newly created wallet withdraws 1,398 $BTC worth $118.3 million from Kraken exchange.

A look at the on-chain metrics reveals that this is a new wallet with no prior transaction history.

 

Source: X

So, what does this suggest?

As centralized exchange reserves drop due to large withdrawals (potential accumulation), BTC’s scarcity rises. As demand grows, Bitcoin surges as traders anticipate and speculate on future price increases.

While the withdrawal seems like another crypto transfer, timing and scale influence the market behaviour in the crypto space.

Russia’s Finance Ministry Proposes Ruble-Pegged Stablecoin

Read Time:54 Second

Russia’s Finance Ministry calls for a ruble-based stablecoin to reduce reliance on U.S dollar-backed stablecoins.

 

Russia, a member of the BRICS economic alliance, has been vocal on the concept of de-dollarization as a way of minimizing U.S dominance on the global economy. In addition to U.S. sanctions over the Russia-Ukraine War, the country also saw its wallets holding over $30 million in USDT frozen.

As a result, Osman Kabaloev, a senior officer in the Ministry of Finance, has proposed a ruble-pegged stablecoin in a move to strengthen Russia’s financial independence. However, the Bank of Russia opposes the idea of private stablecoins while promoting its digital ruble.

 

What does this mean for Russia?

The recent development in Russia’s Ministry of Finance is a step toward wider crypto adoption in its regulated crypto space. The growing split between central regulators and advocates of innovation could open more opportunities for crypto enthusiasts in Russia.

Similarly, this comes a challenge to Russia’s crypto strategy as the country minimizes exposure to western financial control.
