The fee is only $1 or 0.05 per cent in native tokens, whichever is less.

While sharing about Ubitpro, the Founder shared, “After a decade of rapid advancement, the adoption of cryptocurrencies has achieved a reliable mass market. In addition to well-known businesses, new coins appear almost every day. Each day, a sizable amount of coins are processed, launching a fresh cryptocurrency. One of the distinguishing characteristics of cryptocurrencies is the fact that they run on open-source software. Even though there are many marketplaces in the industry, still, witnessing this fast-paced growth made us realise that there is a dire need for a reliable platform. Thus, Ubitpro was brought into existence. A lot of extensive research went in backhand to come up with a platform that was trustworthy and had a user-friendly interface. Now with this, we aim to bring a revolution in the industry.”

The professionals at Ubitpro are increasingly hoping and working towards this futuristic strategy.

The majority of the world’s population will start to trust cryptocurrencies as a form of payment by 2030. By that time, this currency is predicted to make up 25% of all national currencies. Prices will continue to fluctuate as they have over the past few years due to their continued volatility, but both businesses and consumers will be able to handle it more and more. To contribute to this, Ubitpro was launched with $2 Billion in liquidity. The user-friendly cryptocurrency marketplace is all set to thrive in the domain.

PayPal Introduces Cryptocurrency Trading for US Merchants – Brave New Coin

PayPal Introduces Cryptocurrency Trading for US Merchants – Brave New Coin

Global payments giant PayPal will allow U.S. business account holders to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies directly from their accounts.

Global payments giant PayPal has unveiled new features allowing U.S. business account holders to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies directly from their accounts.

The move comes as more business clients seek access to crypto services available to consumers. PayPal also intends to expand its cryptocurrency features into regular business operations. According to the statement, this feature will be unavailable in New York State.

PayPal’s peer-to-peer payments app Venmo initially allowed clients to manage cryptocurrency in 2020. Since then, they have “continuously made significant steps to increase cryptocurrency utilization,” the statement read.

“Business owners have increasingly expressed a desire for the same cryptocurrency capabilities available to consumers. We’re excited to meet that demand by delivering this new offering, empowering them to engage with digital currencies effortlessly,” said Jose Fernandez da Ponte, senior VP of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and digital currency at PayPal.

According to PayPal’s statement, the new features of crypto services for business accounts aim to boost crypto’s real-world utility. The company’s latest move is a response to business owners who have been asking for access to crypto services since the platform launched its consumer-level digital currency services.

“Since we launched the ability for PayPal and Venmo consumers to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency in their wallets, we have learned a lot about how they want to use their cryptocurrency,” Fernandez da Ponte added.

PayPal stock has climbed roughly 26% this year, suggesting positive sentiment from investors.

Businesses can Now Transfer Cryptocurrency On-Chain to External Wallets

In addition to the new buying and selling ability, U.S. merchants can now transfer cryptocurrencies to third-party wallets. This new functionality extends the flexibility of digital currency transactions for businesses.

“PayPal business account holders can now send and receive supported cryptocurrency tokens to and from external blockchain addresses,” the company mentioned in its statement.

Last month, Crypto.com teamed up with PayPal to allow US users to make purchases through cryptocurrencies. This alliance expands on earlier joint ventures between the two businesses, which included allowing PayPal to recharge Crypto.com Visa Card. Besides Crypto.com, PayPal’s stablecoin is available within selected exchanges including Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Kraken.

PayPal Cuts Fees by Expanding PYUSD to Solana

In 2023, PayPal launched its own US dollar-denominated stablecoin (PYUSD), in August 2023. PYUSD was issued by a US-regulated entity named Paxos Trust Company. Initially, PYUSD was launched as an ERC-20 token through the Ethereum blockchain.

One limitation of Ethereum-based stablecoins is their high transaction fees. PayPal expanded PYUSD to the Solana network in May 2024 to minimize the cost. This move led to a significant fee reduction (sometimes over 90%). These lower transaction rates on Solana made PYUSD more attractive for regular purchases like coffee or groceries, which boosted the demand for PayPal to introduce crypto services to businesses.

“The Solana network’s speed and scalability make it the ideal blockchain for new payment solutions that are accessible, cost-effective, and instantaneous,” said Sheraz Shere, General Manager of Payments at the Solana Foundation. “Continued adoption from industry participants like PayPal helps realize the next generation of fintech innovation.”

According to BraveNewCoin data, PYUSD’s market capitalization has expanded dramatically since its introduction over a year ago, rising from approximately $45 million in September 2023 to around $700 million at the time of writing.

Cryptocurrency exchange network accused of helping Russia hit with sanctions

WASHINGTON (AP) — A network of people and virtual currency exchanges associated with harboring Russian cybercrime were hit with sanctions on Thursday, in a government-wide crackdown on cybercrime that could assist Russia ahead of President Joe Biden’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

U.S. Treasury sanctioned alleged Russian hacker Sergey Ivanov and Cryptex — a St. Vincent and Grenadines registered virtual currency exchange operating in Russia. Virtual currency exchanges allow people and businesses to trade cryptocurrencies for other assets, such as conventional dollars or other digital currencies.

Treasury alleges that Ivanov has laundered hundreds of millions of dollars worth of virtual currency for cyber criminals and darknet marketplace vendors for the last 20 years, including for Timur Shakhmametov, who allegedly created an online marketplace for stolen credit card data and compromised IDs called Joker’s Stash. Ivanov laundered the proceeds from Joker’s Stash, Treasury says.

The State Department is offering a $10 million reward for information that would lead to the arrest and possible conviction of the two men and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Virginia has unsealed an indictment against them.

Biden said in a statement announcing the sanctions Thursday that the U.S. “will continue to raise the costs on Russia for its war in Ukraine and to deprive the Russian defense industrial base of resources.”

He meets with Zelenskyy Thursday to announce a surge in security assistance for Ukraine and other actions meant to assist the war-torn country as Russia continues to invade.

State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller said, “We will continue to use all our tools and authorities to deter and expose these money laundering networks and impose cost on the cyber criminals and support networks. We reiterate our call that Russia must take concrete steps to prevent cyber criminals from freely operating in its jurisdiction.”

U.S officials have taken several actions against Russian cybercriminals since the start of the invasion in February 2022.

Earlier this year, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned 13 firms — five of which are owned by an already sanctioned person — and two people who have all either helped build or operate blockchain-based services for, or enabled virtual currency payments in, the Russian financial sector, “thus enabling potential sanctions evasion,” according to U.S. Treasury.
