Berwick, Australia - January 25, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The Amp cryptocurrency launched in September 2020. This token is unique because it features programmable agreements ( smart contracts) that lock and release Amp as collateral for transactions made with other cryptocurrencies.

A Promising Crypto

Amp was created by Flexa, which operates a payment solutions app. The wallet developers partnered with Flexa to bring out the payment solution. Consequently, Amp is now the cryptocurrency collateral of choice on the Flexa app.

More than 41,000 retail locations across the U.S. and Canada use Flexa to facilitate digital payments. On the user end, anyone with a recognized digital wallet such as MetaMask or TrustWallet can use it to spend their digital currencies.

But It's Not Without Risks.

First, the problem that Amp solves is a small one. To spend money on a blockchain peer-to-peer network is a digital wallet and the recipient's wallet address.

It can take days for transactions to settle when a network is overloaded, but all of them eventually go through. If they didn't, there would be no way cryptocurrencies would trade at anything near their current market caps.

Amp is a work in progress. Amp gives vendors the peace that they don't have to wait for a cryptocurrency transaction to finalize before moving on to their next customer. And it could expand its utility to collateralize trades on decentralized exchanges.

How AMP & Flexa Work Together.

In a single sentence: by insuring against loss, the Flexa network allows a merchant to accept an instant crypto transaction without forcing the customer to wait a long time. The simplest way to think about Flexa and AMP is as insurance for transactions.

The merchant pays a fee to accept cryptocurrency payments via the Flexa network. The Flexa fee is usually about 1%, compared to the 3% or higher fee merchants must pay to credit card companies.

If a customer pulls off a double spend or there is some other problem with the crypto payment, the Flexa network reimburses the merchant.

That's great for the merchant, but what does that have to do with the

AMP

AMP stakers receive an income while taking the risk that a small portion of their tokens could be sold to reimburse a merchant. The merchant can accept instant (zero confirmation) payments since they are insured against loss. With this model, AMP and Flexa work together to create a decentralized solution to crypto payments.

The more merchants that accept crypto payments via Flexa, the higher the staking yield. What's brilliant about this model is that the staking yield comes from real-world use and does not depend on constant token inflation.

Currently, Flexa is propping up the staking yield by distributing tokens from the treasury. However, that will end once enough merchants use the protocol to support a generous staking yield.

Why AMP Could Succeed

There are three key reasons that AMP and the Flexa network could succeed in bringing instant crypto payments to the world:

1) Regulatory Approval

Unlike Ripple XRP, the Flexa payments company has gained regulatory approval. Flexa is registered in Delaware as a corporation (a prevalent practice), but its headquarters are in New York. Regarding financial regulations, N.Y. is the strictest state in the union. By working in New York, Flexa has deliberately set itself up to conform to an authoritarian regulatory regime.

2) Staking Drives Flexa Adoption

The more AMP gets staked, the more payments Flexa can process. Since AMP's staking yield is sustainably generated, users don't have to worry that the value will be diluted over time.

3) Merchants Want to Use AMP

High credit card transaction fees cut into a merchant's bottom line in a big way. Most credit card companies charge a 3% fee for transactions, although the fee can be even higher in some cases. Wal-Mart, for example, pays about $5 billion a year in credit card processing fees.

There is organic demand. Switching to Flexa, and accepting crypto instead of a credit card, can save a merchant 66% or more on their payment processing fees! Furthermore, merchants can easily integrate Flexa into their POS (Point of Sale) terminals. In most cases, they don't have to buy any additional hardware.

Flexa Adoption

Across the United States, Flexa is integrated with more than 40,000 merchants, and that number is growing fast. With more than 500 locations, Sheetz is one of Flexa's most significant partners.

Crypto Payments

By leveraging its decentralized network of AMP stakers, Flexa gives merchants a way to accept instant crypto payments. Flexa can be easily added to most existing point-of-sale terminals with no special hardware required!

When created, Flexa's network had only two payment apps, Flexa's SPEDN and Gemini Pay. Now, there are around seven apps listed. AMP itself is in line to be a part of the apps.

Because of Amp's growth, Flexa can now boast $1.4 billion in transactions processing at a time. With the amp token as collateral for any cryptocurrency transactions, there is a guarantee against fraud or defaulting on a contract.

The outlook of AMP over the five upcoming years is considered significant since most retailers use NCR (National Cash Register) machines. The good news is that they accept AMP crypto.

Petecio, Paalam look to secure medals in 2026 Asian Games

FILIPINO Olympic boxers Nesthy Petecio and Carlo Paalam look to secure podium finishes in their respective divisions at the 20th Asian Games in Japan on Monday. Petecio guns for a semifinal berth and at least a bronze medal as she faces Chinese Yang Chengyu in the women's 60-kg quarterfinals at the Nishio Gymnasium. The Olympic silver and bronze medalist takes on Yang at 4:30 p.m. in Manila. Meanwhile, Olympic silver medalist Paalam likewise aims to secure a bronze in the men's 55-kg division quarterfinals at the same venue.   Paalam battles Chinese Zhang Jiamao at 5:15 p.m. Eventual losing semifinalists in boxing will no longer figure in a battle for third matches and will be awarded with bronze medals right away, instead. Petecio booked her quarterfinal ticket after scoring an RSC (referee stops contest) win against Jordanian Mays Alreem Abukhadijah in the first round (round of 16) last Saturday. The 34-year-old unleashed a right hook at the 1:51 mark of the second round that shook Abukhadijah, as the referee deemed it a knockdown and ruled the latter unfit to continue after the count. If Petecio beats Yang, she will face either Tajik Mijgona Samadova or Indian Priya. On the other hand, Paalam scored a majority decision win over Jadumani Singh Mandengbam in their round of 16 clash last Saturday. “We’ll just do our best. In every fight, at least we have no regrets once we step into the ring because we really sacrifice everything for the win,” Paalam said in Filipino to POC Media. “Please don’t bash us because the fights here are extremely difficult. Support us, don’t bash us, because just by carrying our names here, we are already carrying the Philippines. We’re not just carrying our family names, we’re carrying our country.” If Paalam gets past Zhang, he will face either Kazakh Makhmud Sabyrkhan or South Korean Shin Jaeyong in the semifinals.

Brownlee ‘intends’ to return, no timetable yet – Cone

Brownlee ‘intends’ to return, no timetable yet – Cone

WHILE there had been many speculations on Justin Brownlee’s health status, Barangay Ginebra coach Tim Cone stressed that the beloved Gin Kings import “intends to return.” “We're in communication with him. He intends to return, but no date yet,” Cone told The Manila Times over the weekend. The American mentor did not say what has made the four-time PBA Best Import, except to reply in the affirmative that Brownlee continues to recover from his injuries. The 38-year-old Brownlee has been out of commission for over two months already since he last suited up for Gilas Pilipinas in a double overtime loss to New Zealand in Auckland last July in the third window of the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers. Brownlee then, missed the away game versus Australia in Perth, along with a pair of home games of the fourth window where Gilas beat Jordan and Iran, respectively. The seven-time PBA champion import also missed Gilas’ recent stint in the Asian Games where the national team failed to retain its men’s basketball crown in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. Puerto Rican forward Jordan Murphy,  G League veteran, has been tapped to serve as Ginebra’s import when the Season 50 Governors’ Cup resumes in the first week of October. Murphy arrived last Thursday and will continue what Riley Grigsby started for the Gin Kings. The Gin Kings struggled with Grigsby as their import after winning just two of their first six games, slumping at the bottom of the Group B standings in the process just before the league took a break to give way for Cone and Gilas’ international tournaments. Grigsby averaged 31.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.6 blocks in a solid pinch-hitting job through six games stint with the Gin Kings. Cone expects Murphy to create an impact on both ends of the floor. “We expect him to be an in to out player. We’ve only had him for one practice, so there is more to learn about him,” said Cone.

Internationals keep Presidents Cup lead with late fightbacks

MEDINAH, Illinois — Canada’s Corey Conners capped a late fightback and the Internationals were poised to snap a 28-year win drought, leading the United States by three points after Saturday’s (Sunday in Manila) four-ball and foursomes matches at the Presidents Cup. The Internationals took a 10.5-7.5 edge into Sunday’s 12 concluding singles golf matches at Medinah, leading on US soil for the first time after pairs matches. Australian Min Woo Lee and British Open champion Ryan Fox of New Zealand rallied to beat US Open champion Wyndham Clark and Sam Burns 3&2 while Canada’s Conners and Nick Taylor, three down after 10 holes, shocked Jacob Bridgeman and Russell Henley 1-up. “No giving up. We knew it was going to be a battle,” Conners said. “We gave them a few holes early on, did a good job of just staying with them. It feels good to get it done.” The Internationals swept Friday’s foursomes matches to grab a four-point lead and they clung to the edge even though the Americans went 4-3-1 in Saturday’s matches. “Our guys battled hard. It was a tough day. I was proud of the way they hung in there,” US captain Brandt Snedeker said. “Stay the course. It’s going to be a long hard day tomorrow.” Internationals captain Geoff Ogilvy of Australia was overjoyed at the fightback foursomes split. “Amazing. Having all red on the board, being down in every match, for the boys to come back and split points in the session was great,” he said. The Americans, who lead the all-time rivalry 13-1-1, seek an 11th consecutive victory with each side needing 15.5 points to hoist the trophy. US President Donald Trump, who attended the Americans’ Ryder Cup loss last year, is expected to watch Sunday at the suburban Chicago layout where Europe rallied for an epic 2012 “Miracle at Medinah” Ryder Cup victory over the Americans. The Internationals, who took their only victory in 1998 at Australia, had been heavy underdogs with the US team boasting eight of the world’s 11 top-ranked golfers. Lee and Fox took three of the last four holes to win. Lee made a 23-foot birdie putt at the par-three seventh to equalize and the global side never trailed again. “We turned it around, which was awesome,” Lee said. Conners and Taylor sparkled late as Henley and Bridgeman stumbled. Taylor’s five-foot par putt won the 11th and his 11-footer took the 12th before US bogeys at 14 and 15 gave the Canadians their first lead, setting up Conners’ winning six-foot par putt at 18. Cameron Young and Chris Gotterup won their second match of the day, routing Australian Adam Scott and South Korean Im Sung-jae 6&4. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele also led from the front in handing a 2&1 loss to South Koreans Tom Kim and Kim Si-woo. The Americans, swept in Friday foursomes to trail 7-3, went 2-1-1 in Saturday morning four-ball matches to trim the deficit. Kim and Kim defeated Clark and Collin Morikawa 2&1. Kim Si-woo sank a birdie putt from just beyond 12 feet at 16 then made a 16-foot birdie putt at 17 to seal victory.

Fernandez reaches Singapore Open final

SINGAPORE — Leylah Fernandez reached her first WTA final of the year after the Canadian recovered from a poor start to beat Poland's Maja Chwalinska in the Singapore Tennis Open on Saturday night. The sixth seed dropped the first five games of the semifinal against her fifth-seeded opponent but came back strongly to win 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 to set up a final against unseeded Australian Talia Gibson on Sunday. Gibson advanced to her first WTA final after her semifinal opponent Tatiana Prozorova was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to the WTA's concussion protocol. Fernandez was broken in all four of her service games in the opening set by fellow left-hander Chwalinska. Galvanized by vocal support, the Canadian raised her game in the second set and earned a crucial break to take a 5-4 lead before holding serve to level the match. The world number 31 then broke Chwalinska twice, and set up match point with an ace before firing a powerful backhand down the line to secure victory in two hours and eight minutes. It will be Fernandez's first WTA final since she won last year's Japan Open. The unseeded Prozorova stunned third seed Alexandrea Eala in the round of 16 on Thursday and then beat China's Wang Xinyu in a gruelling three-set quarterfinal the next day. However, the Russian was struck in the face by the ball while playing in the doubles quarterfinals later on Friday. Prozorova had to withdraw from that match and then had to sit out the singles semifinal after the WTA physiotherapist diagnosed her with concussion. The WTA said players diagnosed with concussion cannot compete until they complete a graduated return-to-play protocol and receive medical clearance.

A'ja Wilson wins AP WNBA Player of the Year for 3rd straight year; Angel Reese top defensive player

NEW YORK — A'ja Wilson is in a class by herself, winning the AP's WNBA Player of the Year award for an unprecedented third straight year. Wilson received 15 of the 17 first-place votes from a national media panel Sunday. She topped Olivia Miles of Minnesota as well as Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell of Indiana, who all had stellar seasons. “It’s big. It's an honor for me to do it three times in a row. It’s not easy,” Wilson said in a phone interview. “My counterparts in this league are really good. I don’t take it lightly because of how much talent we do have in this league." It's the fourth time that Wilson has won the AP award, breaking a tie with Breanna Stewart for most since the awards were first given in 2016. “That’s got a nice ring to it,” Wilson said. “That’s pretty cool.” The AP voting is done by a 17-member panel that votes on the power poll each week. It’s the 11th year of the awards. The WNBA will announce its postseason awards over the course of the playoffs, which begin Sunday. Wilson is a huge favorite to win the WNBA MVP for the third straight season. Wilson once again led the league in scoring (26.2) while shooting nearly 53% from the field. She also averaged 9.4 rebounds, a career-best 3.2 assists and 1.9 blocks. Angel Reese dethroned Wilson as the AP Defensive Player of the Year. Wilson had won the award in three of the last four seasons. Reese made the most of her move to Atlanta this offseason. She was third in the league in steals and had the versatility to guard most positions defensively. She also topped the league in rebounds for the third consecutive season. Miles had an incredible first season and was honored as the AP Rookie of the Year as a unanimous choice. The No. 2 pick in the draft by the Lynx averaged 19.8 points, 6.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds to help Minnesota finish with the best record in the league. She set the WNBA record for points by a rookie, surpassing Clark's from 2024. Miles was joined on the AP All-Rookie team by Dallas' Azzi Fudd, Chicago's Sydney Taylor, Seattle's Flau'jae Johnson, New York's Pauline Astier and Toronto's Kiki Rice. Wilson, Clark, Miles and Mitchell headlined the AP All-WNBA first team. They were joined by New York's Stewart. Reese was on the second team along with teammate Rhyne Howard, Dallas' Paige Bueckers, Las Vegas' Jackie Young and Golden State's Gabby Williams. Other AP winners included: — Coach of the Year: Cheryl Reeve. It's the third time the Lynx coach has won the award, also being honored in 2020 and 2024. She guided the team to the No. 1 seed in the playoffs while it was missing superstar Napheesa Collier for the first half of the season when she recovered from offseason surgery on both her ankles. Reeve beat out Golden State's Natalie Nakase and Washington's Sydney Johnson. — Comeback Player of the Year: Clark. The Fever guard missed much of last season with a variety of injuries. She came back strong this year, playing in 40 games. She averaged 22.3 points, 8.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds. Washington's Georgia Amoore and Chicago's Courtney Vandersloot also received votes. — Most Improved Player: Jessica Shepard. The Dallas Wings forward came to the team as a free agent and excelled. Shepard averaged career highs in points (14.5), rebounds (11.1), assists (5.3) and minutes (31.7). Shepard had six triple-doubles this season. Washington's Shakira Austin and Seattle Dominique Malonga were next in the balloting. — Sixth Woman of the Year: Janelle Salaun. The Valkyries forward came off the bench in all 40 games she played this season and averaged 12.7 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 39.2% from behind the 3-point line. She led all reserves in scoring this season and the Golden State bench averaged over 36 points a game. Marine Johannes of New York was next in the voting.
