Google Collaborates With Bakkt to Expand Consumer Access to Cryptocurrencies

Intercontinental Exchange’s digital asset platform, Bakkt, announced Friday that it has partnered with Google “to introduce digital assets to millions of consumers.” By forming a partnership with Google, Bakkt said:


Launched in 2018 by Intercontinental Exchange Inc., the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Bakkt enables institutions and consumers to buy, sell, store and spend digital assets, including cryptocurrencies. Bakkt explained that “users will be able to add their virtual Bakkt Visa Debit Card into Google Pay to purchase everyday goods and services online, in-store, or wherever Google Pay is accepted.” Cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin will be converted to fiat currency for these payments to occur, the company clarified. Several other cryptocurrency platforms have added Google Pay, including Bitpay and the Nasdaq-listed crypto exchange Coinbase. The former added Google Pay for U.S. cardholders to spend cryptocurrencies in August while the latter enabled Coinbase Card users to pay via Apple Pay and Google Pay in June.

Bakkt & Google Cloud

In addition, Bakkt said that it has selected Google Cloud as a preferred cloud provider. The company will market its solutions powered by Google Cloud to leading retailers and merchants in the U.S. Bakkt also plans to leverage Google Cloud’s tools to build new analytics along with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and geolocation functionality on its platform.

Toronto-based personal light electric vehicle (LEV) producer Daymak plans to launch a cryptocurrency-mining car that will allow owners to make money when parked, plugged in, or wireless charging. The car, known as the Spiritus, is a three-wheeled all-electric vehicle able to seat two adults aimed at being a daily commuter "designed with the track in mind," according to Daymak’s website. The base model Spiritus Deluxe has a top speed of over 85 mph, a 0-to-60 time of 6.9 seconds, and a range of 180 miles. The upgraded sport model Spiritus Ultimate has a top speed of over 130 mph, a 0-to-60 time of 1.8 seconds and a range of 300 miles.

"I think that in the future, we'll see [cryptocurrency] replacing banks and transactions," Aldo Baiocchi, president and founder of Daymak, told Yahoo Finance Live. "So it was just logical [to incorporate crypto mining capabilities] since the car comes with computers on board, and most cars, as you know, they depreciate." With suggested retail prices of $19,995 and $149,000 for the Deluxe and Ultimate, respectively, deliveries are set to begin in 2023. Buyers can also pre-order the Spiritus Deluxe for $18,495.

As for mining, the Spiritus mines crypto through Daymak Nebula, the world’s first comprehensive cryptocurrency suite for EVs. Currently exclusive to Spiritus orders, the car’s dashboard will allow owners to manage, send, and receive crypto on the go. While parked, plugged in, or wireless charging, the Nebula Miner can mine Bitcoin (BTC-USD), Ethereum (ETH-USD), Doge (DOGE-USD), and more. The crypto capabilities of the Spiritus could offset its own monthly lease price, Baiocchi said, or owners could simply choose to put the money towards satisfying their daily coffee fix.

"You're using a car one hour a day, more or less. So our car, 23 hours a day, you'll be making money - could be between $5 to $12 [a day] depending obviously on crypto prices," Baiocchi added.

China’s central bank said all cryptocurrency-related transactions are illegal and must be banned, sending the strongest signal yet on its determination to crack down on the industry. All cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Tether, are not fiat currency and cannot be circulated on the market, the People’s Bank of China said on its website. All crypto-related transactions, including services provided by offshore exchanges to domestic residents, are illicit financial activities, the PBOC said in the statement.

This latest harsh directive, which sent Bitcoin dropping as much as 5.5% on Friday, comes as global markets grow increasingly concerned over a debt crisis involving property developer China Evergrande Group. The Chinese government may also be responding to signs that miners are disguising their activities to stay in business. Vijay Ayyar, head of Asia Pacific with cryptocurrency exchange Luno in Singapore, said that while the Chinese government has made similar statements in the past, it is "a slightly nervous environment for crypto with the recent SEC comments and overall macro environment with the Evergrande news. So any comments of this nature will cause a sell-of in risky assets."

The nation's economic planning agency also said it is an urgent task for China to root out crypto mining, and the crackdown is important to meet carbon goals. Investors should expect "knee-jerk price reaction as China takes the wind out of Bitcoin's sails," said Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of crypto lender Nexo.  "The recent rebound from just below $40,000 has likely run its course for now."

Robinhood plans to start a cryptocurrency wallet next month, the company announced on Wednesday. The tool will allow you to send and receive digital currencies, as well as trade them and move them off the app.
If you want to take part in the test, you’ll need to join a waitlist. Robinhood plans to trial the feature with a small number of users first before expanding availability to more people gradually.

The company told The Verge it expects everyone will have access to their own wallet sometime in 2022. In the meantime, you can see progress on the wallet by following Robinhood’s Twitter account and blog. The company promised to share whatever feedback early users provide on the product with the community. Initially, the wallet will support Bitcoin, Ethereum and even Dogecoin.

The wallet will use a custodial system, which means Robinhood will manage the keys you need to unlock it. That said, you’ll have the option to move your cryptocurrencies to other platforms should you so choose. Other security features include support for multifactor authentication, in addition to both email and phone verification. While waiting for Robinhood to roll out the wallet feature to everyone, you can start using the recurring crypto investment tool it announced at the start of the month.

A group of former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley executives have joined a crypto-trading platform started by their peers, part of a growing cohort of Wall Street veterans betting on the volatile world of digital assets.

Amber Group has appointed former Goldman Sachs partner Dimitrios Kavvathas as Chief Strategy Officer, and ex-Morgan Stanley managing director Todd Miller as Chief Operating Officer for the Americas. Sotirios Kavvathas, a younger brother of Dimitrios who held leadership roles at auditor BDO and Royal Bank of Scotland, will serve as the operations chief for Europe, the Hong Kong-based startup said in a statement Friday. It also added three regional directors for Europe, all of whom hail from the finance industry.

Amber, founded in 2018 by five Morgan Stanley traders, belongs to a crop of fledging firms developing financial services - from over-the-counter trading to derivatives and structured products - for professional crypto traders and investors. In June, the firm raised $100 million from investors including DCM Ventures and Tiger Global Management, boosting its valuation to $1 billion.

Crypto Markets Suddenly Lose $250 Billion In Value As Evergrande Turmoil Pummels Bitcoin, Ethereum And Other Major Cryptocurrencies

Evergrande, China's second-largest property developer, alerted banks last week that it would be unable to make debt payments due this month, sparking a sharp drop in the Chinese real estate sector. The losses quickly spread to broader markets as experts started warning its default could potentially create a Chinese "Lehman moment," market analyst Tom Essaye, author of the Sevens Report, wrote in a note last week, referring to the U.S. investment bank that collapsed at the onset of the Great Recession. "There isn't enough clarity on how Evergrande's challenges may affect the global economy and that uncertainty is enough to spook markets," wealth advisor David Bahnsen, of California's The Bahnsen Group, said in a Monday email.

Alongside historic adoption measures, buzz around the digital collectibles known as non-fungible tokens and concerns over heightened inflation have helped the cryptocurrency market pare back losses since regulation in China sparked a nearly 50% crash in early May, though it's still down nearly 25% from an all-time high four months ago. In a note earlier this month, JPMorgan analysts warned the recently booming market for smaller cryptocurrencies less established than bitcoin likely reflects "froth and retail investor mania," and pointed out such mania has historically resulted in corrections of nearly 50%.

If you can’t stop the criminals, close off their means to profitability. It’s a familiar tactic and now the Biden administration is preparing an array of actions, including sanctions, to make it harder for hackers to use digital currency to profit from ransomware attacks, The Wall Street Journal reports. That means going after the digital wallets that receive ransom transactions, the crypto platforms that help exchange one set of blockchain coins for another to obscure the culprits and the people who own or manage those operations.

The Fight Against Ransomware
Hit them where it hurts: The government hopes to choke off access to cryptocurrency in certain situations in a bid to limit the potential payoff from ransomware, according to people familiar with the matter. The Treasury Department plans to impose sanctions as soon as this week, the people said, and will issue fresh guidance to businesses on the risks associated with facilitating ransomware payments, including fines and other penalties.

Later this year, expected new anti-money-laundering and terror-finance rules will seek to limit the use of cryptocurrency as a payment mechanism in ransomware attacks and other illicit activities. The actions collectively would represent the most significant attempt yet by the Biden administration to undercut the digital finance ecosystem of traders, exchanges and other elements that cybersecurity experts say has allowed debilitating ransomware attacks to flourish.

The boom in companies offering cryptocurrency loans and high-yield deposit accounts is disrupting the banking industry and leaving regulators scrambling to catch up.

BlockFi, a fast-growing financial start-up whose headquarters in Jersey City are across the Hudson River from Wall Street, aspires to be the JPMorgan Chase of cryptocurrency.

It offers credit cards, loans and interest-generating accounts. But rather than dealing primarily in dollars, BlockFi operates in the rapidly expanding world of digital currencies, one of a new generation of institutions effectively creating an alternative banking system on the frontiers of technology.


But to state and federal regulators and some members of Congress, the entry of crypto into banking is cause for alarm. The technology is disrupting the world of financial services so quickly and unpredictably that regulators are far behind, potentially leaving consumers and financial markets vulnerable.

Crypto Markets Look Frothy, According to JPMorgan
JPMorgan published a note Wednesday on the stock market and cryptocurrencies. It explains that retail investors bought stocks at a record pace over the summer with an estimated net flow into the U.S. stock market of $13 billion in August after reaching a record high of almost $16 billion in July.

The JPMorgan analysts asserted that the stock-buying frenzy spilled over into altcoins and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in August, and the surge in NFTs and decentralized finance (defi) activity has boosted the price of certain cryptocurrencies, such as ethereum, solana, and cardano.

They wrote:

As Bitcoin.com News reported, the crypto market gained approximately 83% in value over the last three months, led by altcoins. The global crypto market cap is currently $2.28 trillion. Bitcoin’s dominance slipped from 47% on Aug. 1 to 41.39% Saturday. Ethereum (ETH) currently represents 20.13% of the entire crypto market, followed by cardano (ADA) at 4.11%. Solana (SOL) represents 1.80%.

Solana has become one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies this year. At the price of $141.04 per coin, SOL is now the seventh-largest crypto by market capitalization. The coin gained 310.8% during the last month and 3,277.6% year-to-date.
