Citibank contemplates rolling out crypto trading and custody services
May 7, 2021
Citi is not rushing to introduce these services because it seeks to offer quality, compliant products.
The bank claims it does not have FOMO because the crypto market is in its initial stages.
Before this, Citi said BTC is at a tipping point and might become an international trade currency.
Citibank, one of the oldest banks in the US, is mulling introducing crypto trading, custody, and financing services. The banking giant’s Head of Foreign Exchange, Itay Tuchman, unveiled this news earlier today, noting that the bank has had an influx of requests from its clients to introduce Bitcoin (BTC) services. Reportedly, the bank is planning to take ample time to come up with a product that will be both appealing to its clients and regulatory compliant.
The Kremlin May Have Inadvertently Crowned Navalny As The Undisputed Leader Of The Opposition
January 29, 2021 | By Amiel Ungar and Anatoly Strandberg
Introduction
Alexey Navalny, the opposition leader and anti-corruption fighter returned to Russia on January 17, 2021 from Germany, where he had recovered from the near fatal attempt to poison him. He was immediately arrested at Moscow s Sheremetyevo airport to which his plane had been diverted in order to discourage press coverage of his return and arrest. His arraignment took place in a police station rather than in a regular court and there were other irregularities in the proceedings.
[1] Navalny and his supporters had two counterstrokes. Navalny s anti-corruption foundation posted on YouTube an expose of Putin s billion-dollar Black Sea palace complete with an $800 toilet brush and a $1250 toilet paper holder.
