This week in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, notable developments include the proposed merger of Klatyn and Line-backed Finschia, indicating a growing trend of consolidation in the blockchain industry.

In the gaming sector, WeMade unveils 'Night Crows,' a new Play-to-Earn MMORPG with blockchain integration, marking another step in the fusion of gaming and decentralized technology. In regulatory news, Singapore and Thailand are taking a cautious approach towards Bitcoin ETFs, keeping them at arm's length due to potential risks and regulatory concerns.

A Chainalysis report reveals that crypto crime has decreased by 29 percent in 2023, suggesting that the industry's efforts to combat illicit activities are bearing fruit. In a surprising twist, former President Donald Trump is reportedly engaging with Bitcoin ordinals, attempting to revive his flailing NFT drop.
