  • Midnight team minted entire 24 billion NIGHT token supply for 0.80 Cardano on October 14.
  • Token distribution scheduled for December 8 with trading commencing on same date confirmed.
  • NIGHT will exist natively on both Cardano and Midnight with locked supply mechanism.

With Midnight distribution approaching, the project confirmed it has minted the entire supply on Cardano, and the cost of this operation is striking. Cardano community figure Ed n’ Stuff refreshed enthusiasts on latest developments in the Midnight ecosystem.

He confirmed the Midnight team has already minted the 24 billion NIGHT tokens for distribution on the Cardano network, indicating preparedness for the widely anticipated event. While the price per NIGHT token remains undisclosed, many expect the token’s whole supply to be worth considerable value.

Minting efficiency shows network capabilities

Interestingly, it only cost the Midnight team 0.80 ADA to mint the entire supply. On-chain data shows the minting event occurred at height 12,517,624 on October 14 at 16:34 UTC. The team minted the entire 24 billion supply for less than 1 ADA, which according to on-chain data was worth $0.52 at the time.

Ed n’ Stuff perceived this as a positive development. He provided further context in a reply, emphasizing that minting 24 billion tokens at a fee of less than $1 shows the efficiency of the proof-of-stake network.

Additionally, it confirms that Cardano is cheap to use, scalable, and resistant to censorship. According to the analyst, these are key components of a “sound money infrastructure.” Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson shares similar sentiment with this assessment, claiming in several instances that Cardano is sound money and exists in that category with only Bitcoin.

Ed n’ Stuff further explained that the NIGHT token would exist natively on both Cardano and Midnight blockchains. If a token is unlocked on Midnight, the exact value would be locked on Cardano and vice versa. This mechanism addresses questions about how NIGHT would function cross-chain

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
