CryptoSlate Top Stories is a daily feature showcasing a brief overview of the most impactful crypto stories of the day, chosen by our editors.

Good morning, dear readers, and welcome to another edition of CryptoSlate Top Stories.

Today is Friday, January 2020, and we have covered a range of topics in the past 24 hours, including XRP’s performance, modular blockchain protocol Celestia, and asset tokenization platform Qubetics.

Let’s dive right in.

modular blockchain protocol Celestia (CELT) rose over 35% on Thursday after being listed on Binance.

Modular blockchains have emerged as a promising solution to the scalability limitations of monolithic blockchains such as Ethereum. These modular protocols handle different aspects of blockchain functionality separately, allowing for greater customization and efficiency.

After launching its mainnet earlier this year and announcing plans for a modular blockchain, XRP (XRP) has also seen a price increase of around 10%.

The token’s recent listing on major crypto exchange Binance and the broader interest in modular blockchains have contributed to its strong performance. XRP is currently trading at $0.50, up from a low of $0.28 in December 2022.

asset tokenization platform Qubetics has sold over 408 million tokens in its presale, raising approximately $9.1 million from more than 13,800 holders.

The $TICS token, which is available for presale at $0.0455, will see a 10% price increase over the weekend.

Those who participate in the presale will also gain early access to the platform, which enables users to tokenize physical assets such as real estate, art, or commodities for easy trading on the blockchain.

This capability is expected to drive demand for $TICS, especially among businesses and individuals seeking to integrate their assets with blockchain technology.
