In Case You Missed It:
- BTC wallet, first accessed late on September 5, 2019, has been involved in seven transactions. This case has become notable not because of its size (94,504 BTC) but because its sender spent far too much on fees: around $700. Social media users were trying to guess the origin and destination of the funds, and blockchain analysis firm TokenAnalyst noticed that many of these transactions were from Huobi wallets. Huobi team announced that they are “looking into the validity of the claim”.
- According to the German version of Burger King website, it now accepts Bitcoin payments on its delivery website and mobile app. It is still unclear whether BTC is also accepted in restaurants across Germany.
- Jennifer Bailey, Apple Pay vice president, recently told CNN that the company is “watching cryptocurrency”, and she admits that it has a long-term potential. Apple’s interest in crypto follows similar consideration from a growing number of tech companies, but it is not fully on the crypto bandwagon like other IT giants.
