eToro will Offer Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin (BTC) and 8 Other Cryptos
A crypto trading platform from Tel Aviv, eToro, has recently announced that it plans to open its doors to the investors from the US. The investors now have a chance to join the waiting list and try out the platform via demo account.
eToro opens up towards the US investors
A famous digital currency trading platform called eToro plans to expand its list of investors by allowing the US to join in.
The platform started a waiting list on Tuesday, May 15, and those interested to join in are free to do so. They will receive a demo account that will allow them to try out the platform, and perhaps decide to stay when all of its services are completely available later in the year.
Yoni Assia, Chief Executive Officer and a co-founder of eToro, has stated that the platform will offer 10 currencies – Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, Stellar, Litecoin, Dash, NEO, Bitcoin Cash, EOS, and Ethereum Classic. Each of these can be exchanged for another currency, or alternatively, for the US dollar.
Assia also stated that the platform will mostly be focused on investors as individuals, and that eToro already has over 10 million users in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The platform has also managed to raise over $162 million when it comes to capital funding.
He added that eToro plans to focus mostly on user-friendliness and simplicity of the platform so that everyone would feel welcome to join. The plan is to attract as much diversity as possible, and make eToro a truly global trading platform.
What can the platform offer currently?
US investors who decide to join the platform will be able to get access to the crypto market via one of three ways. They can either invest in coins manually, copy the trades of the other investors so that they would benefit from their experience, or via an investment into the Crypto CopyFund. Due to the fact that some coins have a disputed status, it is believed that the US traders might have the biggest issue when it comes to actually owning the coins.
eToro’s USA Managing Director, Guy Hirsch, has stated that the movement towards a tokenized world is gaining more and more speed, and platforms like eToro need to let assets investors. With their experience and knowledge, and the platform’s capabilities, the platform can help others educate themselves about cryptos, but also help create a stable crypto society.
Those wishing to invest will have to meet the set minimum of $25. Investors will be able to use ACH and debit card during the launch, but also at the later date, once eToro finishes the supporting system.
In the US, the trading platform will have a base in New Jersey and will be registered as a money transmitter with the FCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). Europe’s branch of eToro is already regulated and authorized by Cyprus Securities Exchange Commission. The same goes for the eToro in the UK, which is regulated and authorized by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority).

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //
Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.
Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.
The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.
NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…
2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for. While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory. When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion. But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.
I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness. Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion. Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special. Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.
Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology
It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different. Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

“NFTs are extremely flexible in their usage, from digital event tickets to artwork, and while NFTs have a very wide spectrum of uses and categories XENO will initially focus its partnership efforts and its own item curation on three primary areas: gaming, sports & entertainment, and collectibles.”, said XENO NFT Hub president Anthony Di Franco.
He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”
Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
