ETH/USD is down 4% and almost dipped below $230. Bulls tried to break above $250 again but got rejected heavily.

According to news from Money Today, Bithumb, a popular cryptocurrency exchange is planning to launch an IPO in South Korea. 

An official from the securities' industry said:

In the meantime, virtual currency was difficult to define and its value was opaque as an asset, so many people viewed it as a sort of speculative board. It can be said that some part of the virtual currency has entered the system and has been the target for evaluating business feasibility and corporate value.

The Chamber of Digital Commerce posted a webinar today about stablecoins. According to Jeremy Allaire, Founder of Circle, stablecoins are the future and “we’ll look back in the same way that we look back at long-distance calls’.’

Industry

Binance just announced a B2B solution for merchants to integrate a function to buy crypto on their platform. According to the press release, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) said:

Binance Access allows businesses to provide a one-stop exchange service to their customers and users without operating an exchange, streamlining the process for both service providers and the end-users. By providing other industry players and businesses with the tools and services to build the ecosystem, we hope to continue lowering the entry barrier to crypto and enabling more solutions to boost adoption as an infrastructure provider.
