Welcome to the Daily Crypto News: A complete Press Review, Coin Calendar and Trading Analysis. Enjoy!

🗞 Is Blockchain the ‘Secret Weapon’ Driving the Yahoo Japan-Line Merger?

Industry insiders in South Korea and Japan are talking up the potential blockchain “synergy” that may materialize from the proposed Line and Yahoo Japan merger – after the tech giants’ operators agreed on a deal in principle.

Yahoo Japan operator SoftBank has released details of its agreement with Line and Naver, the company that founded the popular chat app.

Per the terms of the agreement, fintech will be a core business area, and – should shareholders green-light the deal – the operators will merge Line and Yahoo Japan to create a 50-50% owned company. Financial regulators in Japan would also need to grant their approval.

Mira Kim, a South Korean blockchain consultant, told Cryptonews.com,

“Remember that chat app Kakao’s merger with search engine Daum back in 2014 proved to be a success, and Kakao followed up that merger with a lot of crypto and blockchain-related activity. Perhaps there is a precedent here.”

🗞 Credit cards now accepted at zero payment fees

That’s right, Crypto Voucher, the leading platform in simplifying buying crypto, now accepts credit cards at zero payment fees. Crypto Voucher will not be charging customers for the payment fees while using credit/debit cards to buy cryptocurrencies, instead, Crypto Voucher will cover these fees from the service fee (4%) charged on every transaction.

What’s more, Crypto Voucher will be giving 10-euro voucher to every new customer who will make a minimum purchase of 200-euro with credit cards. It is very important to mention that unlike many other platforms, Crypto Voucher will enable credit cards payment for purchases starting from only 10 euros.

🗞 US SEC Takes Another Look at Rejected Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Proposal

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing its decision to reject the Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) filing from Bitwise Asset Management and NYSE Arca.
Taking a second look

In an announcement on Nov. 18, the commission said that the ETF filing from Bitwise Asset Management and NYSE Arca will return to review, following the earlier rejection for not meeting the necessary requirements.

In October the U.S. regulators said that the applicants did not meet the necessary requirements regarding possible market manipulation and illicit activities. The SEC wrote at the time:

"The Commission is disapproving this proposed rule change because, as discussed below, NYSE Arca has not met its burden under the Exchange Act and the Commission’s Rules of Practice to demonstrate that its proposal is consistent with the requirements of Exchange Act Section6(b)(5), and, in particular, the requirement that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices.”

🗞 Family Offices Finally Accept the Benefits of Investing in Bitcoin

There is a lot of chatter going on about the uncertainties of cryptocurrency and how an attempt to tame the raging seas of the crypto market could spell doom for investors. As expected, in the middle of this conversation is Bitcoin (BTC), whose popularity continues to grow in the investment world.

Although Bitcoin’s volatility is well-documented, this has not stopped investors from adopting cryptocurrencies as a way of effecting a diversified investment strategy. Interestingly, the volatility narrative is somewhat losing its potency as Bitcoin slowly establishes stability.

Hence, I will use this piece to analyze the growing affinity for digital assets and how Bitcoin is fast becoming a viable investment asset class for institutional investors and family offices.

🗞 Cryptoworld Votes BTC after Bank of America Axes Ex PayPal CFO Account

Always hungry for more proofs that Bitcoin (BTC) is better than traditional, centralized banking, the Cryptoverse just found more examples in the U.S. and Lebanon.

First, the U.S.-headquartered banking giant Bank of America (BoA) froze the accounts of ex PayPal Chief Financial Officer (CFO), prompting the Cryptosphere to share similar stories, but also a solution to the issue – Bitcoin.

Roelof Botha, a partner at major American venture capital firm Sequoia Capital and former PayPal CFO, tweeted that after being a customer of Bank of America for two decades, the bank suddenly decided to “fire” him, that is, close his accounts without providing any explanation as to why. In the notice dating November 4th which Botha included in his post, the bank states: “After a careful view of your banking relationship, we’ve made the decision to close your account above,” adding that the decision is final and won’t be reconsidered.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of my last analysis :

Here is the current chart :

The BTC has ruined our plan of a nice UP on the STEEM. After the test of the resistance line at 0.155$ yesterday, the BTC participate in a big rejection from this line on the STEEM. We are now back on the support line at 0.138$ and let's hope that this line won' break or we will go directly to the lows that we tested some weeks ago and we will try for sure to go lower...
