PANews reported on October 22 that Peter Zoellner, the new chairman of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), called for the revival of gold futures trading in the UK, despite the failure of previous attempts to establish derivatives contracts on the $35 trillion in annual global physical gold trading capital. Zoellner stated that previous measures to launch gold futures contracts in London were premature, but added that having "two or three locations with good liquidity" would benefit the global gold market. He added that any decision would ultimately rest with the exchanges, which would structure and list such products. Gold trading in London is primarily conducted through bilateral "over-the-counter" physical transactions, and currently lacks a gold futures market. The London Metal Exchange (LME) launched a gold futures contract in 2017, but closed it five years later due to low trading volumes.PANews reported on October 22 that Peter Zoellner, the new chairman of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), called for the revival of gold futures trading in the UK, despite the failure of previous attempts to establish derivatives contracts on the $35 trillion in annual global physical gold trading capital.

Re-engineering social media: The DeSoc Stack of Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3
The post Re-engineering social media: The DeSoc Stack of Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. contributor Posted: September 22, 2025 The quest for a truly decentralized social media (DeSoc) experience is a core focus of Web3 in September 2025. The goal is to build platforms that are censorship-resistant, user-owned, and free from manipulative algorithms. This requires a full stack of decentralized services, and Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3 provide the intelligence, infrastructure, and data layers needed to build it. RSS3 forms the foundational protocol layer for DeSoc. It acts as the “social graph,” allowing users to control their own content, connections, and online identity. By indexing a user’s posts, follows, and interactions from various decentralized sources, RSS3 makes this data portable and accessible to any front-end application. This breaks the platform lock-in of Web2 social media, as users can seamlessly switch between different clients while retaining their entire social history. Oraichain provides the “intelligence layer” for content curation and moderation. A common challenge for DeSoc is filtering spam and harmful content without centralized censors. Oraichain allows for the creation of transparent, community-governed AI models for moderation. Users could opt into different algorithmic feeds—a “serendipity” feed, a “trending” feed—all powered by verifiable AI, giving them control over their experience in a way that is auditable and fair. Pinlink offers the decentralized “hosting layer.” A truly censorship-resistant social network cannot rely on centralized servers like AWS. Pinlink’s DePIN provides a resilient, distributed network of nodes that can host the front-end applications, store encrypted user data, or run the back-end processes for a DeSoc platform. This distributes the physical infrastructure, making the network far more difficult for any single entity to shut down or control.
