From Bitcoin’s expansion in North America to a new crypto conference on Capitol Hill, here’s a look at some of the stories happening in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)
Square’s Cash App now supports Bitcoin in all 50 states across the US, which means all 33.5 million users can now use the platform to buy and sell BTC.
Meanwhile, a new partnership is bringing more than a million people to a zero-fee trading platform for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The new pact brings BRD’s 1.2 million customers to Canada’s crypto trading platform Coinberry.
Better together.
