👉 CoinDesk, citing sources close to the situation, reports that PayPal PayPal plans to add the ability for its users to directly buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Today, on some cryptocurrency exchanges, including Coinbase, PayPal is available as an alternative way to withdraw money, and the service does not provide a direct exchange of crypto assets for fiat money. And this I think is going to be a big turning point for PayPal, although In my opinion, PayPal's business line is based on the deepest deception, feeding on the ignorance of its customers regarding payment methods. Currently, the service has prohibitive fees that are difficult to afford in certain sectors.
👉 According to a study by The Tokenist, 51% of millennials trust Bitcoin more than the world's largest banks, which is great news for the future. Among older people, let's say, the percentage of people who trusted Bitcoin was 47%, which is 29% more than in 2017. So we are moving up positions, although trust is one thing and adoption, which is seen in moments of lateralization, is another.
👉 LibertyX, one of the first to install Bitcoin ATMs, announced on Twitter that its customers will be able to buy BTC for cash at more than 20,000 points of sale for an amount from $20 to $500. In certain jurisdictions such as Spain, this would be impossible without an identification via invoice where all the data would be provided. This is due to the restrictions on cash movement in some countries. I am in favour of regulating all means of payment, including ATMs.
👉 The cryptocurrency options exchange Sparrow completed the Series A funding round, receiving an investment of $3.5 million. The main investor in the round was HDR Group, the parent company of the exchange BitMEX. This broker has been announcing the options for months and the world of crypto derivatives is growing to hunt down the smallest. The problem arises in the sense that if the small ones end up losing their coins, how will a better adoption system be completed? Speculation drives even the most inexperienced investors crazy.
👉 The former CEO of WirecardMarkus Brown was arrested in Germany today. He is suspected of falsifying information about the amount of funds in the company's accounts. Who would have imagined this, a person with such a reputation for honour. Money can corrupt even the most shiny gold bar. This morning he is free on bail of 5 million.
👉 The security token platform Neufund from Germany announced the closure due to the inaction of the authorities in relation to the crypto industry. During its existence, the project helped clients raise $19 million through STOs and IPOs on the blockchain. Shouldn't a business project like this have studied this situation of commercial dependency? And now what?
👉 Now that's a goal from the whole squad. The club from Football Barcelona organized a token sale on the platforms Chiliz , during which $1.3 million worth of BAR tokens were sold in less than two hours. Will they be guaranteed listing on any Exchange?
