Square Is Hiring And Offers To Be Paid In Bitcoin

Binance Launches Cash-to-Crypto Service in Australia

Last week Binance announced the launch of Binance Lite Australia, the easiest way to buy Bitcoin with cash in Australia. Binance Lite Australia marks Binance’s first fiat gateway on the blockchain continent, and provides a secure and reliable cash-to-bitcoin brokerage service through a network of 1,300+ supported Newsagents across Australia.

Cryptopia Exchange Resumes Crypto Trading

Cryptopia announced on Twitter that they have resumed trading on 40 trade pairs that they have quantified as secure. They will continue to expand this list as they clear more coins. You can find the list of the 40 pairs here.

Bithumb Reduces Staff By Up to 50%

Bithumb, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea, plans to cut its staffing levels by up to 50 percent, according to a CoinDesk Korea report issued Monday, a move that would reduce its number of employees from 310 at the start of March to around 150.

Apparently, Bithumb is the next crypto company that bites the dust because of the ongoing decline in the value of the market in recent months.

That’s it for now. All the best to everyone!
