Gemini preps credit card with crypto rewards

I suspect these credit card and crypto reward combo will be more and more commonplace. Why would anyone not want to be rewarded in a appreciating asset everytime you spend local currency. Only issue is most of these credit card deals are US based only at this point.

Bitcoin cash outs arrive at 16,000 ATMs in the UK

BTC ATM operational costs are rather high so hence why its typical to see large fees/spreads on these machines but people pay for the physical convience and direct cash transaction. Can't easily do that with any crypto exchange website. One thing that isn't clear is the KYC behind these machines. Having to scan ID while trying to do a quick cash/btc transaction kind of deafeats the of using an ATM.

How Ripple is boosting education around blockchain and crypto

I think what everyone fears is coming true... That XRP (Ripple company) will be the example made of by US regulators to warn those that want to create a fund raising platform through tokens without a clear ultility from day one will be targeted. Ripple did a good job getting new people with the corporate image and they did teach a lot of businesses that would otherwise shy away from crypto, but XRP wasn't really ever a real crypto because the corporations had to continually promote and pump it.

Ripple awaiting XRP enforcement action

Ripple gave out lot of the XRP token and kept selling it as the 'crypto' that banks will use. They hold a lot of the tokens still so its not very distributed and so it has always been in their interest to pump the token. I think the SEC going after them now though is a bit late and speaks to how behind they are. If Ripple wins its a win for crypto. If SEC wins it is still a win because proper distributed assets like BTC and ETH will soak up the value but I think Ripple lossing will make the regulatory envoriment really bad for other token creators which IMO shouldnt be the case.
