2021-10-22 18:09:12 Ripple has accused the SEC of helping Ethereum.

The CEO of blockchain company Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, said that the US Securities and Exchange Commission helped Ethereum outperform XRP in the ranking of cryptocurrencies. Ethereum has displaced Ripple from the second place in terms of indicative market capitalization due to the actions of the regulator.

According to Garlinghouse, the supervisor treated his company unfairly by accusing it of a fictitious case. In turn, no claims of this kind were made in relation to Ethereum. Garlinghouse has significantly reduced engagement with the SEC, which has stalled the development of the Ripple project.

The SEC has been pursuing Ripple for several years now. The regulator claims that the XRP coin is an unregistered security. Consequently, the transactions with her were illegal.

Currently, the consideration of the case initiated by the SEC against Ripple Labs has been postponed to January 14, 2022.

2021-10-22 13:16:13 Shopping giant Walmart has installed 200 bitcoin ATMs in its stores.

Walmart, the world's largest retailer, has announced that it has installed 200 bitcoin ATMs in its U.S. stores.

To carry out this campaign, Walmart partnered with Coinstar, a specialized cash-out equipment and cryptocurrency exchange service called CoinMe.

Walmart has decided to reach a significant portion of this market and expand access to buying bitcoins for US citizens. Customers can easily use the ATM by depositing cash and receiving a matching paper voucher with a code to accept Bitcoin (BTC). To activate it, customers need to create an account with the Coinme service and go through identity verification. But it is worth considering that new devices charge 11% from customers, of which 4% is taken for a BTC transaction, and another 7% for converting fiat money.

2021-10-19 18:13:10 Expert Avik Roy suggested that the United States recognize bitcoin as a means of payment.

Forbes financial editor Avik Roy believes Bitcoin (BTC) has huge potential. He is confident that the recognition of cryptocurrency as a legal tender will have a positive impact on the entire US financial system.

According to him, recently, large spending in connection with the coronavirus pandemic has significantly increased the national debt of the United States, which creates a lot of pressure on the state economy. Some experts even admitted the likelihood of default. This can be disastrous. Therefore, it is necessary to look for a solution now.

Roy said that the national currency in circulation alone cannot provide the country's creditworthiness at the present time. To change the situation, he suggested that regulators expand the legal field for using bitcoin.
