Crypto.com Adds Google Pay and Apple Pay

Crypto.com, a popular cryptocurrency exchange in the US, is adding Google Pay and Apple Pay support in Canada. Digital currencies are becoming more widely accepted across many platforms and businesses. 

“Crypto.com Visa Card users in Canada. You can now make payments using Google Pay. Enjoy the security and convenience of Google Pay online and in-store. Using an Android device? Add your Card now,” announced Crypto.com on Twitter.

This service was simple to use because consumers only needed to upload their Crypto.com Visa card information to their Apple Wallet. This service was also available to iOS users via their Apple Watch. Android users have to go through a similar process to enter their credit card information into Google Pay. Crypto.com is a Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange. As of 2022, the firm has over 50 million clients and 4,000 staff. Cronos is the platform's official cryptocurrency.

Michael Saylor Bitcoin Giveaway

Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, announced a three million Satoshi giveaway on his Twitter page. The giveaway was a response to a challenge made by Swedish researcher and current CIO of Arcane Assets fund, Eric Wall. 

Eric Wall set up a public poll on his Twitter page to ask his followers whether they believe the former MicroStrategy CEO has ever used the Bitcoin Lightning Network for more than three transactions. Saylor replied "yes" and offered to perform "three additional transactions," each containing 1,000,000 Satoshis, to three individuals who post Lightning Network jokes in the tweet's comments and receive the most likes. 

“The correct answer is Yes, and I will make three more transactions of 1,000,000 sats each to the 3 posters of the most liked #Lightning memes in the comments below,” responded Saylor on Twitter.

Do Kwon Debunks Frozen Funds 

Do Kwon, the founder of TerraForm Labs, refuted allegations that $39.6 million worth of his crypto assets were frozen by the South Korean prosecutors. The allegations were reported by Coindesk, citing local South Korean press as the source.

“I don't get the motivation behind spreading this falsehood - muscle flexing? But to what end? Once again, I don't even use Kucoin and OKEx, have no time to trade, and no funds have been frozen. I don't know whose funds they've frozen, but good for them, hope they use it for good,” twitted Do Kwon.
