Mr. Takatoshi Nakamura, CEO and President attended the Digital Currency Conference (DCC) May 17 through May 19, 2023 in Mexico City. Seventy-one organizations from 33 countries focused on technology and design aspects of both Central Bank and Private Digital Currencies. It was successful to join DCC and introduce our products for the future of Digital Currencies with the participants at this conference.
The first day of the Conference, Digital Currency Fintech Innovation showcased the most outstanding start-up Fin-Techs, several innovation hubs within established commercial banks, and organizations with digital currency innovation.
Ten innovative companies were selected to make a presentation of their projects. CIPHER-CORE, Inc., Mr. Nakamura was one of the ten selected companies who highlighted the following for the executives of the central banks and the companies.
1. Why our product is different from existing solutions: Our product is the world’s first application of unbreakable complete cipher technology based on “Information-theoretic security” to CBDC. This is the world’s first and only technology and Product that realizes the “digital cash” ideal for CBDC in retail.
2. Why we think we can make a difference in the digital currency area: First, for retail CBDC, it is the world’s one and only solution to realize “digital cash”. On the other hand, for wholesale CBDC, since it will always use some kind of network, we are able to provide a solution that can eliminate “man-in-the-middle” attacks, for which there is no Fundamental solution even today, by applying complete ciphers.
Mr. Nakamura joined the various presentations performed by the Banks and other companies and events arranged by the DCC pursuant to the program.
Mr. Nakamura spoke directly about CIPHER’s unique technologies for CBDC with 11 executives of the central banks, all of whom indicated their great interest in his proposal and willingness to proceed with opportunities.

CitaDAO successfully tokenised second real estate in Singapore: 18 Sin Ming Lane
In a notable step forward, CitaDAO is delighted to share the successful completion of its third Introducing Real Estate On-Chain (IRO) project. This achievement, the tokenisation of a prime industrial property in Singapore’s bustling Midview City, exemplifies the company’s commitment to broadening access to one of the world’s top real estate markets. CitaDAO is proud to be part of the journey towards a new wave of real estate innovation, creating a bridge between traditional and decentralised finance.
CitaDAO IRO Success: 18 Sin Ming Lane, Singapore Introducing Real Estate On-chain (IRO) – 18 Sin Ming Lane, Singapore
Following the successful IRO, a legal transaction will occur before the Real Estate Tokens can be minted and made available for claiming. For the IRO participants, do follow our Twitter or Discord for the updates.
Key IRO Recap – Address: 18 Sin Ming Lane, Midview City, Singapore – IRO Value: US$635,000 – IRO Date: April 18, 2023, to May 16, 2023
Solving liquidity challenges At CitaDAO, one of our core missions has always been to address the liquidity challenge that has long been a plague in the real estate industry. Our previous IRO, 20SML0253SG, has been a testament to our success in achieving this mission. Through the tokenisation of a prime industrial property in Singapore, one of the most vibrant real estate markets in the world, we’ve demonstrated the immense value that can be unlocked when real estate is tokenised. Not only did we create a more valuable asset by democratising access to this premium property, but we also ensured constant liquidity in the market by leveraging the concentrated liquidity pool of Uniswap v3. This was evidenced by the $290,000 (46% of the real estate value) in Total Value Locked in the 20SML0253SG RET, making secondary transactions more convenient for all token holders – proving that our vision for making a liquid real estate market a tangible reality was successfully accomplished.
In offering a vibrant secondary market for the RET, CitaDAO creates an opportunity for RET holders to boost their returns by assuming the role of market makers. By adding liquidity to the pool, they can earn liquidity provider rewards passively, a benefit that mirrors the traditional real estate investments.
A Catalyst for DeFi Expansion The successful tokenisation efforts by CitaDAO have laid the groundwork for a significant growth catalyst for the DeFi sector. By unlocking new capital streams from yield-producing assets, the platform invites new users and capital into the DeFi space, consequently generating innovative opportunities and applications.
Conclusion CitaDAO firmly believes that tokenising real-world assets is a critical driver for the mainstream adoption of DeFi. If you’re intrigued by the process, we invite you to experience the future of real estate through CitaDAO’s innovative IRO process and look forward to our next IRO – 15 West Halkin Street.
DIBA’s mainnet launch includes a Bitcoin-only tokens wallet using apocalypse-resistant storage technology via its partnership with the largest bitcoin mining company in North America

This marks a major milestone in the transition of the internet onto Bitcoin.”
Tim Draper, American Venture Capital & Bitcoin Investor, said, “The bull case for Bitcoin assets is in the ballpark of $10bn market cap over the next couple of years. What Gideon and the team at DIBA have built is a testament to the potential NFTs on Bitcoin hold in capturing the creative and sovereign spirit of this next generation. I am excited about DIBA’s launch and look forward to their future growth.”
