From new adoption for four leading cryptocurrencies to XRP’s growth on social media, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash
The infamous anonymous message board 4chan has quietly started accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash to purchase its easy access pass.
The site is one of the most popular on the globe, and is currently ranked at #426 worldwide, according to the web traffic monitoring site Alexa.

Ripple and XRP
The number of users transferring XRP through the XRP Tip Bot has doubled in the last two months, with the platform’s web traffic soaring to over half a million unique visitors.
The platform allows anyone to send XRP through Twitter and other social media platforms.
