Nexus Mutual is also behind a new insurance alternative on Coinbase’s L2 network called Base DeFi Pass.
Nexus Mutual, the decentralized alternative to traditional insurance geared towards risks involving digital assets, is widening its distribution capabilities by backing a dedicated crypto insurance broker called Native.
Native goes live with $2.6 million of seed funding led by Nexus Mutual, and the two firms are offering $20 million on-chain cover per risk, according to a press release on Tuesday. Nexus Mutual currently has a capital pool of about $200 million, mostly denominated in ETH, the token of the Ethereum blockchain, meaning the mutual will be able to write multiple coverage lines per risk from day one, Nexus Mutual said.
There has always been a dire shortage of insurance capacity within the crypto industry. At a rough estimate, about 1% of crypto assets are insured today, compared with the traditional world where a general rule of thumb is that about 7% of GDP is insured.
“Native’s role is to help solve this chronic under insurance problem,” said Native co-founder and CEO Ben Davies in an interview. “No industry can grow without a liquid insurance market and so we have built a commercial insurance broker on-chain, which is what the market has really been missing.”
The aim is to increase capacity by connecting businesses with Nexus’s capital pools, while giving clients the ability to pay in crypto, or be paid in crypto if there is a claim, said the broker’s other co-founder Dan Ross. In addition, Native will go beyond mere distribution by running a capital pool on Nexus, he said. It means the firm will also be involved in underwriting in the form of a managing general agent (MGA) positioned on top of Nexus Mutual.
Since starting out in 2019, Nexus Mutual has underwritten about $5 billion of crypto assets and paid out $18 million in claims. This has involved various risks associated with decentralized finance (DeFi), for instance, that conventional insurers might struggle to meet.
The protocol also allows its members to deploy assets into syndicates, in a way similar to how the Lloyd’s of London market operates, for which they receive NXM tokens. These tokens are then used to back certain risks. Like being a Lloyd’s investor, or “Name,” there is a risk attached to this, but yields can reach around 25%, according to Nexus Mutual founder Hugh Karp.
“We understand crypto native risks better than anyone else and we’ve got a large amount of capacity that’s specifically looking to deploy into crypto risks and crypto businesses,” Karp said in an interview. “We aren’t like some big insurance company that’s trialing this as a proof of concept for a few years and then it disappears.”
Base DeFi Pass
Nexus Mutual’s insurance alternative is also available to users of many of the main protocols on Coinbase’s layer 2 network, Base, via a recently launched product called Base DeFi Pass, created by crypto insurance startup OpenCover.
Base DeFi Pass covers a clutch of high profile protocols on Base including the likes of Uniswap, Compound and Morpho, and is designed to be a “set and forget” option where one set of cover is all that’s needed across a range of applications, according to OpenCover CEO Jeremiah Smith.
The type of risks covered include smart contract code bugs, exploits and hacks, while things like phishing attacks are excluded, as are losses related to market price movements of assets used or relied upon by the covered protocol.
“Base Pass is another innovation being catalyzed by Nexus Mutual,” Smith said in an interview. “You purchase one lot of cover and you’re covered on most of the leading protocols on Base, rather than having to come to Nexus and OpenCover each time and have to rebalance everything.”
In order to bring lots of people on-chain, Base needs to make those users feel confident about interacting with DeFi, said Base creator Jesse Pollak.
“OpenCover’s Base DeFi pass adds an extra safety net, so people can feel more secure and protected when they participate in the open DeFi ecosystem on Base,” Pollak said via email.

According to Mr. Cil Khiot, Deputy Director of Langbiang Tourist Area, the hiking trail to Langbiang (Lam Dong) has now been reopened following about a month-long closure for upgrades and enhanced safety measures.
Previously, the trekking route was closed on September 15 due to heavy rains that caused fallen trees and erosion along sections of the trail, posing safety risks for visitors.
“The trail has now been repaired and is safe for visitors. However, trekkers must follow the mapped route and adhere to guidance from the tourist area. Visitors trekking Langbiang must purchase an entry ticket and book a guided tour to ensure safety,” Mr. Cil Khiot told Tri Thuc – Znews.
Not only domestic tourists, many international tourists are very excited to experience trekking to Langbiang peak. Photo: Linh Huynh.
At a height of 2,167 meters, Langbiang Peak, also known as Ba Mountain, is considered the “roof” of Da Lat city, offering stunning 360-degree views that attract tourists. Located about 18 kilometers from downtown Da Lat in Lac Duong District, Langbiang is part of a mountain complex that includes two main peaks, Ba (2,167 m) and Ong (2,124 m), as well as the Ra Da Hill at 1,929 meters—a popular spot for visitors.
The Langbiang trekking route, spanning 10-12 kilometers, is an exciting experience that attracts young travelers and international tourists visiting the city. Trekkers can start from the entrance of the tourist area, purchase tickets, and follow a trail that passes through coffee plantations, ancient pine forests, and stunning primary forests.
The trek is quite steep, and combined with the cold, thin air, it can be exhausting for hikers. However, the landscape changes with elevation, providing a remarkable experience. From the summit, trekkers can enjoy panoramic views of Da Lat, lush pine forests, and rolling mountains.
For those new to trekking Langbiang, attempting the trail alone can be dangerous. Trekkers risk losing their way, slipping on steep paths, or encountering areas with no cell signal, making search and rescue efforts challenging.
The steep, slippery slopes pose many challenges for visitors. Photo: Linh Huynh.
To ensure safety, Langbiang Tourist Area management has set specific rules for visitors aiming to climb the 2,167-meter Langbiang summit.
Visitors must purchase tickets at the entrance, with climbing permitted from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. After 1 p.m. or during rainy weather, access to the summit is restricted. Trekkers must stay on the designated route, which is managed by the tourist area and Bidoup Nui Ba National Park. Unauthorized guides and visitors are prohibited from venturing off-trail. Tourists are advised to hire local guides, wear protective gear, and are not permitted to light fires or camp overnight.
Earlier, at the end of September, authorities in Lam Dong successfully rescued two tourists who became lost in the Langbiang mountains during stormy weather. In late August, five students from Ho Chi Minh City lost their way while trekking to the Langbiang summit, becoming stranded in Bidoup Nui Ba National Park (Lam Dong province) for several hours before being rescued.
Over three days, from October 25 to 27, Saigontourist Travel Services welcomed more than 5,800 international tourists arriving on two cruise ships, Celebrity Millennium and Quantum of the Seas.

These guests will experience specially curated tours, such as culinary tours, countryside cycling, and cooking classes—designed for high-spending tourists from Europe, the US, and Australia.
According to Saigontourist, the cruise tourism segment has rebounded. In the first ten months of this year, the company welcomed a series of international cruise ships, including Europa, Celebrity Solstice, Celebrity Millennium, Spectrum of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas, Crystal Symphony, Azamara Journey, Azamara Onward, Silver Moon, Resort World One, Silver Shadow, and Mein Schiff.
The launch of options on spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the U.S. will reduce the incentives for investors to hold MicroStrategy stock over these ETFs, the report said.
MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) current premium relative to its bitcoin (BTC) stack is unlikely to last, Steno Research said in a report Friday.
“This conviction is reinforced by the diminishing effects of MicroStrategy’s recent stock split,” analyst Mads Eberhardt wrote, adding that the launch of options on spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S will also lessen the motivation for investors to hold the stock over these ETFs.
The software company founded by Michael Saylor carried out a 10-for-1 stock split in August, a move that according to Steno has contributed to the recent rally.
Steno noted that the company’s premium relative to its bitcoin horde has recently surged to almost 300%.
This suggests that the firm’s valuation is “diverging significantly from a straightforward calculation of its asset and and business fundamentals,” the report said.
As regulators become more favorable to bitcoin and crypto in general, investors may choose to hold bitcoin directly instead of MicroStrategy stock, Steno said. If Donald Trump is re-elected this regulatory trend is expected to continue.
Bitcoin is expected to perform strongly this quarter and into 2025, which means that an “even higher buying demand would be required to sustain MicroStrategy’s current premium,” the note said.
MicroStrategy’s existing premium is unsustainable, especially given the fact that during the 2021 crypto bull market it was below 200% for most of the time, the report added.
The stock recently hit a new all-time high, having surged over 240% year-to-date.
“Given the uncertainty, Maelstrom has 5% of the fund in staked USDe (Ethena USD), earning roughly 13%,” Hayes told CoinDesk.
With the U.S. election just a week away, markets are waiting with bated breath for the political event that has created “high uncertainty.”
Arthur Hayes, chief investment officer at digital asset investment fund Maelstrom and co-founder of BitMEX, is hedging the election risk with Ethena Lab’s USDe stablecoin while maintaining large bullish bets in bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and other cryptocurrencies.
“Given the uncertainty, Maelstrom has 5% of the fund in staked USDe (Ethena USD), earning roughly 13%. We maintain our large long positions in Bitcoin, Ether, and other tokens,” Hayes told CoinDesk in an email.
Ethena’s USDe is a synthetic dollar, which uses collateralized stablecoin and a hedged cash-and-carry arbitrage strategy to retail the $1 price peg. The funding fee collected from shorting perpetual futures tied to BTC and ETH as a part of the carry trade represents the yield. Staking USDe and acquiring staked USDe, or sUSDe, a reward-bearing token, automatically grants the user access to protocol rewards.
The fund’s allocation in the delta-neutral product will guard against potential market price swings in the lead-up to the election on Nov. 5 and results, due three days later on Nov. 8.
Maelstrom is an investment fund focused on digital assets and managed by the family office of Arthur Hayes (co-founder, BitMEX). The fund’s mandate is to build a portfolio of infrastructure companies that will serve as the foundation of the next wave of trustless decentralization. In addition to managing the fund, Hayes writes the industry-leading monthly newsletter Crypto Trader Digest.
Watch out for a sore loser
Hayes expects risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, to see increased price turbulence for a while if the losing side takes to the street, causing social unrest.
According to traditional media, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are locked in a dead heat. Meanwhile, betting on decentralized prediction platforms has the supposedly pro-crypto Trump leading his rival Harris by a significant margin.
“If the election comes and goes with no social unrest, the markets will rip and roar. Post the election, once we know who wins, and the other side accepts the results, then we will deploy all sUSDe into crypto,” Hayes said.
As of Friday, bitcoin options listed on Deribit signaled volatility of nearly 3.8% for Nov. 8. BTC has historically seen more giant swings on random non-event days.
It doesn’t matter who wins
The outcome of the U.S. election is unlikely to significantly alter Bitcoin’s broader bullish prospects, as budget deficits are likely to continue rising irrespective of who takes the presidency. Bitcoin and gold are perceived as safe haven assets, offering a hedge against budget deficits, which tend to be inflationary.
“Both Trump and Harris will print money in the trillions of dollars. In the medium term, it doesn’t matter who wins. Crypto will do well. In the short term, the market understands the ways in which Trump will stimulate the economy because that is the traditional way it has been done in the past. Tax cuts combined with business-friendly deregulation but with no cuts in benefits is what he will do,” Hayes explained.
Legendary trader Paul Tudor Jones voiced a similar opinion last week, saying inflation will continue to rise regardless of whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris wins the presidency. Several crypto traders are betting on a bitcoin rally to $80,000 and higher after the election.
Potential war is a short-term risk
Looking past the election, a potential escalation of war in the Middle East or Ukraine could lead to short-term pain for risk asset holders.
“The biggest macro risk is if friends and foes of the U.S. engage in aggressive military action while there is confusion as to who is in charge after the election. War is un-investable in the short-term and this would lead to a global risk off,” Hayes quipped, saying that the war’s inflationary impact would eventually bode well for crypto.
“The way to play this risk is to size positions accordingly and use little to no leverage,” Hayes said.
Hướng Dẫn Cách Đào Bitcoin Miễn Phí Và Đơn Giản Cho Người Mới
Là một trong những loại tiền điện tử có giá trị nhất hiện nay, đào Bitcoin miễn phí luôn được nhiều người quan tâm.

Vietnam’s manufacturing sector is one of Asia’s success stories: it has drawn global attention thanks to its efficient production and decent labor supply. Investors considering setting up a manufacturing operation in Vietnam have a choice of two primary areas of interest: north or south, each of which proffer distinct advantages and disadvantages.
Understanding these differences is key to making good strategic decisions for companies aiming to succeed in the area. This article provides an overview of the manufacturing sector in northern and southern Vietnam, from major sectors, economic environment, and infrastructure to the labor market in each area.
Key Industries
Explore the unique manufacturing landscapes of Northern and Southern Vietnam in this video, where we break down the strengths and challenges each region offers for businesses.
Key Takeaways:
Insights into how Northern Vietnam excels in the diversification of its production manufacturing ;
A look at how the business culture and etiquette differ from north to south ;
What are the advantages and difficulties you may encounter in each part of the country;
Northern Vietnam: High-Tech Manufacturing Hub
The northern part of Vietnam, especially around Hanoi, is famous for specializing in high-tech sectors, which include electronics and machinery and automotive production, among others. Here in the north, big global companies like Samsung, LG, and Foxconn have sizeable operations due to the good quality workforce and close proximity to China, where their raw materials and components can be shipped quickly, thus catering to precision manufacturing and complicated supply chains. The presence of such multinational giants has developed this region into one of the largest producers of smartphones and electronics in Southeast Asia.
Southern Vietnam: Center for Consumer Goods and Textiles
Southern Vietnam is the part where Ho Chi Minh City is located. Consumer goods, textiles, footwear, and furniture manufacture are mostly centered here. Exporting renders the manufacturing base of the south due to the preference of international brands seeking large-scale production in these areas. Along with textiles and footwear, another expanding sector includes technology, producing consumer electronics and related goods. Ho Chi Minh City is the economic center of Vietnam, where the private enterprise economy and foreign investor confidence are created, thereby creating a conducive environment for industries that appreciate speed and bulk production.
Northern Vietnam: State-Influenced and Strategic Investment
The economic environment in Northern Vietnam reproduces the historical and political origins. It is more state-driven and reflects more on the state-owned enterprises and the government contracts especially in infrastructure and energy. The various ways by which the state influences the sectors create an environment for trade that regulates to benefit companies involved in government projects or operating in highly controlled sectors.
Despite higher land leasing costs and a competitive labor market that can drive up operational expenses, Northern Vietnam continues to attract substantial foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly in high-tech sectors. The region’s environment aligns well with companies in electronics and machinery, where both government support and a skilled, specialized workforce are highly valued, fostering a favorable setting for technological growth and innovation.
Southern Vietnam: Private Sector Growth and Foreign Investment
More market-oriented South presents a high degree of flexibility in doing business with a strong backing from FDI in the South, especially outward of Ho Chi Minh City, to foster a robust startup biosphere and also create an easygoing atmosphere valuable for innovation and flexibility. In doing business, the South is far more favorable for a business undertaking because of less regulatory oversight compared to the North.
It would prove that indeed the South is a thriving economy with lower entry barriers that create a friendly environment for industries that require flexibility, such as the fast-moving consumer goods and electronics. The business landscape certainly suits companies that beat rivals in terms of quick growth and large-scale expansion in a market-oriented economic environment.
Infrastructure and Logistics
Northern Vietnam: Developed Transport Networks and Industrial Parks
Northern Vietnam has received generous investments in transport networks, particularly major highways and the Hai Phong port, which is critical for industries requiring high technology and heavy machinery. The industrial parks around Hanoi support electronic, machine, and automotive production, which attracts domestic and foreign investments.
Another challenge facing Northern Vietnam’s manufacturing sector lies in the comparatively high costs of land leases and labor, which are steeper than those in the South. This factor adds significant pressure on businesses aiming to maintain competitive operating costs. Furthermore, the intense competition for skilled talent in high-tech industries — driven by the presence of numerous large corporations — has pushed labor costs higher. For newer companies, this creates additional hurdles in attracting and retaining qualified workers, adding to the region’s growing operational costs.
Southern Vietnam: Efficient Ports and Export Capabilities
Southern Vietnam has a rather well-functioning logistics infrastructure that is very supportive for large exports. The Cat Lai port located in Ho Chi Minh City alone, will cater to a large share of the national export. Hence, the South becomes the ideal business locale for industries needing fast and frequent export. With fast turnaround times that are of prime necessity for the more significant piece goods, such as textiles, footwear, and furniture, productive logistics provide southern manufacturers with the required logistics. Besides increasing industrial parks are rising in the south, becoming attractive centers for new investments, especially for consumer goods companies.
Labor Market Dynamics
Northern Vietnam: Skilled Workforce with Competitive Challenges
The northern labor market is characterized by a highly skilled workforce, particularly in electronics and manufacturing. However, only in instances where the demand for skilled labor comes from high-tech sectors such as those led by Samsung and LG, does a competitive stance invoke high wage levels. Besides, foreign companies setting up operations may often find language barriers and cultural factors challenging. Taking all this into consideration, north Vietnam is advantageous to businesses that need skilled labor support for high-tech production.
Southern Vietnam: Cost-Effective and Adaptable Workforce
In the south, cost-effective and abundant labor benefits labor-intensive industries such as textiles, footwear, and furniture. The workforce in southern Vietnam is flexible in adapting and quick to embrace new trends; hence it is highly advantageous to industries requiring scalability and agility. Business relationships are furthermore achieved quicker and easier since the business culture is less formal. This quality will, in turn, be useful for example for companies growing fast and requiring the flexibility to adjust production quickly.
Both northern and southern Vietnam offer unique characteristics of advantages and disadvantages for manufacturing companies. While northern Vietnam, with its electronics and machinery sector orientation, a skilled labor force, and closeness to China, seems tailor-made for high-tech production, companies should pay attention to expected high costs and competitive employment. Southern Vietnam’s consumer goods sector orientation, coupled with an agile business environment and strong logistics, arguably makes for an attractive setting for labor-intensive and export-oriented industries.

MicroStrategy is up over 240% year-to-date with the NAV premium approaching 3.
Bitcoin (BTC)-holder MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) soaring stock is driving up trading volumes relative to AI-proxy Nvidia (NVDA), one of the biggest companies by market cap, reflecting heightened investor enthusiasm.
MSTR has surged over 240% this year, with prices doubling to $236 in the past five weeks alone, according to data source TradingView. That’s the highest level for the stock since the dotcom bubble 25 years ago. The rally has MSTR closing in on a market cap of $50 billion, barely 1.5% of NVDA’s $3.44 trillion.
However, MSTR’s trading volume, as a percentage against NVDA, has continued to climb this year, reaching a high of 17.65% this month. According to Investing.com data, this milestone occurred on Oct. 11, as MicroStrategy saw 30 million trading volume, while NVIDIA had 170 million.
That’s a significant improvement since the bull market of 2021. Back then, MSTR peaked over $130 on Feb. 9 with a volume of 23.2 million, equating to just 8% of NVDA that day.
An increase in trading volumes alongside a price rally may confirm the stock’s uptrend. That said, a continued surge in volume relative to NVDA might be telling of a build up of a speculative froth in the market.
MicroStrategy outperforms Nvidia
With a year-to-date gain of over 240%, MSTR has outperformed NVDA’s 192% surge by a big margin. Since MSTR adopted bitcoin as a treasury asset in August 2020, the gap has grown even bigger, with MSTR up 1,800% versus NVDA’s 1,150%, that’s probably the best evidence of MicroStrategy and its CEO Michael Saylor’s success.
MicroStrategy’s net asset value (NAV), which is is calculated by dividing MSTR’s market capitalization by the value of its bitcoin stack, continues to expand once again, with bitcoin still trending in the mid $60,000 range. According to the MSTR tracker, the NAV premium currently sits at almost 3, the highest level since early 2021.
