The Kraken Wallet exchange, the second largest in the United States, announced its first open source wallet. With this development, it launches itself into competition in this field alongside Coinbase and MetaMask, as well as Trezor and Ledger.

“The new Kraken Wallet self-custodied wallet is available to both Kraken users and non-users.” Initially, it will include eight blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ssolana, Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon and Dogecoin

Being open source, Kraken Wallet will give access to developers who find vulnerabilities through its open source grant program, and if errors are detected they will be able to improve the wallets.

According to the platform, the wallet will collect the “absolute minimum amount of data to function as a wallet,” offering a high degree of privacy, which is one of the features most valued by cryptocurrency users.

Kraken’s own infrastructure shields IP addresses and prevents the exposure of “users’ identity and location information from potential external exposure.”

Eric Kuhn, Chief Product Officer at Kraken Wallet, said: “Kraken Wallet is how we invest in the ‘your keys, your crypto’ ecosystem, which is vital to the existence of permissionless financial access. We welcome other wallets, but we are going to focus on building the best all-in-one cryptocurrency wallet that is open source, secure and private.”

Reserve, the digital wallet, issued a statement announcing the indefinite suspension of deposits and withdrawals in national currencies for several Latin American countries, including Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Panama.

The measure, according to the platform, will take effect from August 3, 2023, at 12:00 PM, Venezuela time. As of that date, users will only be able to transact using stablecoins, supporting cryptocurrencies, and Mexican pesos.

In the statement, the company explained that this decision is due to the increasing difficulties that American crypto companies face in offering financial services. Likewise, Reserve indicated that they are implementing this change due to their intention to expand their operations in the United States. To achieve this, US banking institutions are demanding greater transparency, reliability and compliance with financial regulations from the company.

As a result of this measure, Reserve announced that it will adopt a model in which banking institutions will be the only intermediaries in monetary transactions. Once these changes have been made, the platform will seek to establish links with the banking systems of Latin America to offer its services again.

Google began rolling out its Google Wallet payment app which works as a digital wallet, on Android devices in a total of 39 countries around the world.

In April of this year, 9to5Google reported that the company was preparing the return of this bank card and payment management service, which disappeared in 2018 when combined with Android Pay.

It was the editor of Esper.io and former editor-in-chief of XDA Developers, Mishaal Rahman, who shared a screenshot of what would be his interface days later. These included saving options for gift cards and bills.

However, it wasn’t until May, at its annual Google I/O 2022 developer conference, that the company announced that it would be bringing back the Google Wallet app.

This new version comes as a digital wallet for Android that allows access to payment cards, loyalty cards, plane tickets, event tickets and the vaccination certificate, among other official documents, from the same place on the smartphone.

The Robinhood platform is conducting tests on a digital wallet, which would allow sending and receiving cryptocurrencies.

Several specialized portals claim to have seen evidence regarding the development that the retail platform would be carrying out.

Currently, Robinhood users can only buy cryptocurrencies with US dollars and trade digital assets on the platform, as the application does not support cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals.

For some time, users of the platform have demanded the incorporation of this functionality, which allows trading with bitcoin, ethereum, dash, among others.

Robinhood first launched bitcoin and ethereum trading services in 2018 for customers in five US states. Since then, the company has expanded its support for altcoins and currently allows traders based in all but four of the US states to access its cryptocurrency features.

The board of directors of the analytics software company MicroStrategy has announced the payment to its board with bitcoin, as reported by the CEO of the company Michael Saylor.

According to the press release, the benefit will only be applied to directors who were classified as non-employees, this due to the modification made by the board of directors to “compensation agreements.” In this sense, the directors who are under this administrative figure will receive “all fees.”

For its part, the council showed its faithful commitment to the popular cryptocurrency, “given its ability to serve as a store of value, supported by a robust architecture and public open source, without ties to sovereign monetary policy.”

The document specifies that by virtue of said agreement, there will be no variations in the amount to be canceled and it will be nominally denominated in US dollars.

At the time of payment, the fees will be converted from USD to bitcoin and then deposited into the digital wallet of the corresponding non-employee director.
