Crypto Update: Ethereum Upgrade Resets, XRP Base Pairs Expand, and eToro CEO Calls Out Tron’s ‘Smart Move’

By Daily Hodl Staff

Ethereum

Ethereum developers have set a new target launch date for the long-awaited update Constantinople.

The upgrade was initially set for Wednesday, but was delayed due to a security issue discovered by the smart contract audit firm ChainSecurity. According to developer Péter Szilágyi, the new launch date is set for February 27th.

XRP

The Singapore-based crypto exchange Bitrue is expanding its use of XRP as a base pair at a rapid rate.

In the last 24 hours, the exchange has paired EOS, NEM and Polymath with XRP. In all, 29 coins on the platform are now tied to XRP.

Tron

The CEO of eToro says he’s impressed with Tron’s plans to expand the file sharing company BitTorrent.

BitTorrent will integrate a new Tron-based token called BTT and use it to reward users who share files on the platform.

CEO Johnathan ‘Yoni’ Alexander Assia says he likes the token economics and may consider buying BTT, which will be up for sale on Binance Launchpad. BTT is set for release by July of this year.
