Paraguay BTC Confusion [Source][Source][Source]

A post from Paraguay’s President Santiago Peña on X claimed Bitcoin had been made legal tender and a $5 million BTC reserve established.

However, the official presidential office swiftly denied the claim, advising citizens to ignore any unverified announcements not issued by official channels.

The initial post included a BTC wallet and triggered confusion before being deleted.

The administration is now working with X to investigate the source and clarify the incident.

Ripple Labs is investing an additional $5 million through its University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI) to advance blockchain education across the Asia-Pacific region.

This comes on top of a $25 million pledge made to U.S. educational organizations in May.

The new funding will support universities in Taiwan, Australia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore, with research focused on real-world applications like asset tokenization and AI development on the XRP Ledger.

Schools such as Yonsei University, Kyoto University, and NTU are already leveraging UBRI grants for blockchain-related R&D.
