Bittrex Cryptocurrency Exchange Introduces US Dollar Transactions For Institutional Investors

The CEO of Bittrex, Bill Shihara, announced that Bittrex will provide the facility for a number of its institutional investors to acquire cryptocurrency with US Dollars but only within a few US states.

To date, the Bittrex cryptocurrency exchange platform has only permitted exchanges between cryptocurrencies, without the possibility of trading in fiat money. To make this new service a reality, they concluded a banking deal with Signature Bank, a New York-based bank, that will be in charge of holding the company’s funds in USD.

As Bill Shihara informed on a Bloomberg interview he held on May 31st, he considers this settlement to be more than just a vow of trust to Bittrex, namely, a vote of confidence towards cryptocurrency.

It’s not just about banks being able to trust Bittrex. It’s about banks being able to rely on cryptocurrency in general. And I think this is really proving that cryptocurrency is just around the corner in terms of mass adoption.

Shihara believes that the new agreement with Signature Bank will attract more institutional investors the Bittrex cryptocurrency exchange platform

Shihara said the bank’s openness to partnering with Bittrex is not just an excellent chance to draw new institutional investors but is also a major milestone in upgrading the cryptocurrency exchange platform’s security protocols.

They want to make sure we have robust AML/KYC processes, that we have the right controls on our finances. They do background checks and everything.

The CEO also stated that Bittrex intended to provide USD transactions for a number of Bittrex clients since early February but they opted to wait until everything was perfectly planned and now since they dealt with Signature Bank from New York, the cryptocurrency exchange platform was able to introduce UDS transactions, a decision which is considered to attract more and more institutional investors.

Shihara had also indicated that because of the customers they handle, only institutional investors will be eligible for this type of transaction.

IoTeX (ITX) Gets On Binance And IOTA (MIOTA) Dealt With Norway’s Leading Bank, DNB

The first day of June brings a big growth for two of the most loved cryptocurrencies of the moment, the IoTeX (IOTX) and the IOTA (MIOTA), the most important cryptos for the technological trends of the present-days, the IoT (Internet of Things) and distributed ledgers.

IoTeX (IOTX) has increased by more than 130% during the last day

Specifically, IoTeX (IOTX) has increased by about 130 % in the last 24 hours, according to CryptoMarketCap, trading at $0.065. The massive growth occurred shortly after Binance, the top-end cryptocurrency exchange in the world, reported the IOTX listing.

Thanks to this significant appreciation, IoTeX (IOTX) has managed to get on the 157th place among all the cryptocurrencies in the world, by market cap with more than $75 million.

Being listed on Binance is a great achievement for IOTX which, until now, only dealt with small-volume cryptocurrency exchange platforms, namely, on gate.io and KuCoin, which both listed this crypto coin last week.

IOTA (MIOTA) has also raised by more than 8% in the last 24 hours

The far more stable IOTA (MIOTA) crypto coin also registered substantial returns today, rising by 8.35% in the last 24 hours, at the moment of this writing, trading at $1.86, while all the other top 20 cryptocurrencies have registered lower gains or even losses.

A statement published by the IOTA Foundation stated that they recently concluded a Memorandum of Understanding with the leading Norwegian financial services corporation, Den Norske Bank ASA (DNB).

As announced in the IOTA Foundation statement, both IOTA (MIOTA) and the Norwegian DNB will be working together in pursuit of discovering how IOTA Tangle technology, described more as a DAG (Direct Acyclical Graph) than as a blockchain, might be beneficial for the bank’s infrastructure of transaction data.

This Friday marks an end of a very full week for IOTA Foundation and its IOTA (MIOTA) crypto characterized by the announcement of Trinity Mobile crypto wallet app.

Saints Row 2 Available to Play for Xbox One

Good news for the users of Xbox One: Saints Row 2 became available via Backwards Compatibility! Larry Hryb, the Director of Programming for Xbox Live, made this announcement at the beginning of May on Twitter. It is a big relief for fans of GTA 5, since unfortunately, their favorite game is still not available on the popular console developed by Microsoft.

The problems for the fans of GTA 5 started when the game developer, Rockstar, decided to release the new game not for Xbox One, but for its predecessor Xbox 360. This move was viewed as a purely business-driven decision, which was supposed to maximize the profit of the company. This was not received well by the gaming community. Many Xbox 360 users who purchased GTA 5 admitted that they bought it again after upgrading to Xbox One. Those who still have the version for Xbox 360 will have to wait for GTA 5 to appear in the Xbox Backwards Compatibility program, but it looks like this is not going to happen in the near future.

However, there is some good news for the disappointed fans of GTA 5, since a similar game, Saints Row 2, joined the Backwards Compatibility program, therefore becoming available for Xbox One. This video game is being described as having many similarities to GTA, but at the same time it lacks a realistic design and it is probably not as good as the former when it comes to the setup. According to various reviews of Saints Row 2, the game developed by THQ has a comedic tone, sometimes even ridiculous, and definitely funnier than Grand Theft Auto. Evidently, it’s a great choice for those who enjoy both action and laugh, and now you can enjoy it on your Xbox One.
