Thailand based cryptocurrency exchange TOK lists XRP

Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have redefined the way payments, and settlements are now exchanging and being transferred throughout the world. Owing to their decentralized nature, virtual currencies including Ripple’s XRP are immune to challenges such as government bureaucracy and inflation to mention a few.
But everyone knows, cryptocurrency is a perfect medium for sending and receiving large sums of money from one part of the world to the other.
In recent time, the cryptocurrency market has been experiencing the emergence and introduction of new applications into the cryptocurrency ecosystem that allows merchants and users to trade, store, and exchange virtual currencies such as BTC and XRP.
Despite the progress that is being made in the cryptocurrency world, many governments and nations are still on the fence when it comes to incorporating and adopting blockchain technology.
However, Thailand seems to be going against the tides as it is eager to embrace the revolutionary technology while other countries such as the US are still trying to figure out the technology and how best they can implement it in their current operations.
Thailand is so much into blockchain technology and cryptocurrency that they are already plotting on how they can come up with their own central bank virtual currency (Ripple’s aim right from the beginning has been to make XRP a base currency for banks, so probably a pair made in heaven?).
Subsequently, Thai regulators have been making substantial progress since 2017; from permitting exchanges and ICOs to conduct their operations in the country to inaugurate a cryptocurrency license company.
The country has also caught the attention of international companies that are impressed by their clear-cut and decisive regulations governing foreign blockchain companies. Thailand is quickly emerging as an example worth emulating across Southeast Asia, and as a country worth the attention of cryptocurrency and blockchain startup founders as it is a fertile ground for the technology.

Polkadot Price is in Consolidation Mode: What Next?

Polkadot price has been under intense pressure for the past few days amid the recent bearish sentiment in the crypto market. At the time of writing, DOT was barely unchanged, trading at $5.351. The altcoin has dipped more than 25% for the past month but remains 24.23% higher in the year to date. The asset’s total market cap has slipped over the last day to $6.343 billion, ranking it the 13th largest cryptocurrency.
Is the Worst Yet to Come?

The biggest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, have been in a freefall for the past few days, falling to $26,880 and $1,807, respectively. Most altcoins, including BNB, Cardano, Solana, Shiba Inu, and Avalanche, have plunged seeing that most altcoins move in tandem with the performance of heavyweights Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Looking ahead at the global market mayhem with the US debt ceiling debate and the US banking crisis, investors expect more downside in the crypto market. The US dollar has continued growing stronger, hovering around a six-month high against the Yen, as optimism around the US debt ceiling talks in Washington raised expectations of higher-for-longer interest rates.
