Litecoin’s (LTC) Litepay Replacement, Crypterium (CRPT), Undergoing Beta Testing In Australia
Litepay was meant to revolutionize the cryptocurrency industry by allowing for the use of crypto for regular purchases of goods and services. The service was meant to use Litecoin (LTC) as the backbone of the conversion from crypto to fiat resulting in a price rally of the coin before the indefinite cancellation in March. The project could not find a merchant to support the card services need for it to function. However, Litepay was not the only project working on solving the problem of how we can use cryptocurrencies for regular day to day purchases. Crypterium (CRPT) had already welcomed the challenge of doing so from as back as October last year.
The Crypterium App that is now available for your mobile phone (Android for now), turns your cryptocurrencies into money that you can spend as easily as cash. When fully active, the app will allow you to shop around the globe, make online purchases, pay your bills and even send money across borders. With the app, you will be able to get a virtual card that will even enable you to link to your Apple pay, Samsung Pay or even Android pay.
It is with this background that the App is undergoing Beta testing in the country and continent of Australia. The residents of Australia will be amongst the first to get access to the crypto-to-fiat payment solutions offered by Crypterium with bill payments being the first to be rolled out. Beginning May 10th, the Crypterium team has been selecting users in the country to use the Android version of the app. There is also a reward system for such lucky testers. The App will then be rolled out across the globe gradually by the team.
Also to add is that the Crypterium app is gearing up for a new update in a week. This update will include the addition of the Japanese yen and additional security measures. The App already has wallet capabilities for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Crypterium (CRPT); QR code payment capability; transaction history; and many more features.
The Crypterium (CRPT) token is the ‘fuel’ for these transactions and a fraction (0.5% of transaction) is burned with each payment made. This then reduces the circulating supply of CRPT, albeit very slowly. The token is currently trading at $0.80 and up 12.695 in the last 24 hours. It is currently available on HitBTC with more listings expected in the Summer. The project also got a major boost recently, when the former CEO of VISA in the UK, joined the team in a similar capacity.

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.”
