CryptoCurrency Booming In Africa | BAT Added To Coinbase | NASDAQ Help Fight Fraud [Bitcoin News]
Welcome to this week’s edition of Bitcoin News. This week we are looking at the booming cryptocurrency market in Africa, the addition of Basic Attention Token (BAT) to the Coinbase platform, and the Nasdaq’s efforts to fight fraud.
Africa has long been referred to as the “dark continent” for its lack of access to banking and financial services. This has led to a surge in the use of digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. A recent survey of cryptocurrency usage in Africa showed that more than half of the continent’s population is now using cryptocurrencies. This is a huge opportunity for the cryptocurrency industry, as it offers a new way to bridge the gap between the continent and the rest of the world.
This week, Coinbase announced that it had added Basic Attention Token (BAT) to its platform. BAT is a digital advertising platform that rewards users for viewing ads. This will make it easier for users to purchase BAT and use it for a variety of purposes, including making payments and earning rewards.
Finally, the Nasdaq is working to fight fraud in the cryptocurrency market. The exchange has launched a new feature called “Nasdaq Surveillance” which will monitor the markets for suspicious trading activity. The feature will also provide insights on how to protect investors from fraud.
That’s all for this week’s edition of Bitcoin News. Tune in next week for more cryptocurrency news and updates.
