They are currently at 3 weeks pre with one week off. I cannot claim the Bears are "my team", but I do see Justin Fields making some big headlines this year. Last year they were scoring over 30 points many times the second half, and that was playing from behind after they had traded away the prime defense veterans. If the defense is decent this year, they should make the playoffs. Late-2022 the Bears were one of the most exciting bad teams in human history, very fun to watch.

This appears to be a huge victory for crypto and the movement to go mainstream!

With their reputation it is a surprise they would even try this. Even a solid company could run into issues with the Government raiding the warehouses.

Here is some recent news:
Ethereum block explorer Etherscan shows that there are 3,990 XAUT tokens issued as of the time of writing. If we assume a price of $1,560, that’s about $6.2 million worth of gold that’s currently tokenized via XAUT.

also they have competition:
With asset-backed blockchain tokens becoming more widespread, it’s not too surprising to see that gold is one of the first assets that’s commonly tokenized. Singapore-based Digix offers tokenized gold with their Digix Gold Token DGX, 0.35% token, while US-based Paxos has created PAX Gold PAXG, 0.18%.


I agree that all of these can be shut down by aggressive Government action which we have seen before.

USA here and it depends on the company setting the standards for their machines. Some require KYC to buy small amounts of BTC while others are less demanding. Similar for getting cash they are not all the same.
