📌 Bitcoin jumps above $ 6,600
After the Bitcoin's price dropped to a recent value of 6300, the market turned green
The beginning of the week started with the price jump of the largest cryptocurrency. Around 09:25 UTC BTC raised again, jumping to a value of $6,500, and then to $6,600. This price change is fixed on a number of exchanges (max. $6721 on Coinbase). During the day, probably, there will be a further correction: at the moment, Bitcoin's price has an exact value of $6,626.
The market waits for the flow of new capital: high hopes will be rewarded? Most experts are sure that positive news about the arrival of large companies (on the crypto-market) could affect the market in that way. On the other hand, negative prerequisites have not been formed to start the holder’s runaway.
Who will meet the crypto-market? 1. CBOE (seeks SEC approval for Bitcoin ETF) 2. BlackRock (started a working group to explore the crypto); 2. Cohen Private Ventures (investment). Various assumptions about the connection of several financial industries have already been noticed within six months.

📌 American Express will use blockchain
New technology will appear soon in American Express system. Blockchain will be used to confirm transactions (source)
This solution will be used as blockchain-system that makes a proof of payment, transaction amount and the merchant's ID, including the all opportunities of the new presented technology. The decentralized register, according to the patent, will be one more addition to the existing system of payment verification. It is interesting, when the giant will completely transfers its operations to the blockchain.
Here: AmEx seeks to create a new technology that would allow the use of a pass and a payment instrument in one small solution. A ticket with a built-in purse can be used in cinemas, public places with a paid entrance (same is for sharing, hotels, etc.).
Rumors: Amazon can probably start to accept Bitcoin soon. At the moment, such information is not for public, even if this true, although it is clear that major companies have their own view on the use of cryptocurrency. The latest news is related to the "revelations" of engineers and developers of the new proposed solution.

📌 Bithumb opens offices in Thailand and Japan
Offices of the largest Korean exchange will appear on the territories of the 2 developed economies of Asia (source)
Today, Bithumb holds the 10th position among the world's largest crypto-exchanges. Korea's company is also the most important participant in the crypto-currency economic relations in the region. Around 75% of all Bitcoin trading volume and 50% of all Ethereum in South Korea goes through Bithumb: but it seems that this is not enough! To maintain the right of the local giant, major exchange plans to engage some other neighboring regions over time. So, "Expanding" begins with the opening of two offices.
”Bithumb is preparing exchange platforms for countries under the global expansion plan and we are looking for great and potential partners (corporation, entity or group) worldwide…The exchange platforms under final development stages are USD / JYP / EUR / CNY / INR / GBP / AUD / CAD / PHP / RUB and [there] will be more soon when there are any service demands”.
Subsidiary in one of these regions will open soon. So far, the plans of the exchange include a quite variable strategy, including even the appearing of Russian Ruble and the Canadian Dollar.

📌 KuCoin added Stellar (XLM)
Stellar, with the 7th place on the cryptocurrency market chart, is now on KuCoin (source)
Stellar (which, by the way, gained 5% within the local trend), now appeared on the KuCoin exchange. Users can deposit XLM now, withdrawals will be opened later: on July 18. Earlier, Coinbase exchange reported on the addition of this asset, considering it among other currencies (such as Cardano, Zcash, BAT, with prefix "probably"). This already influenced the XLM’s price. Users have already noted that this decision has been waited for the long time.
Stellar is a platform for real-time foreign exchange operations. Some time ago, this project was part of Ripple (XRP), but then it became an independent platform. Inside the system, there is also a restriction according to which parties with large amounts of lumens cannot sell them for 5 years.
