the Google Play store. The tweet reads:
Happy New Year! Upon careful consideration, Google has
permitted The MetaMask mobile app back on the Google Play (Android) store!

Fintech
Futures
reports that the former head of technology at Barclays (NYSE:BCS) and former
co-founder and chief technology officer at Starling Bank Mark Hipperson is
planning to launch a digital banking venture called Ziglu this year. Ziglu will
enable clients to transfer funds between crypto and fiat currencies, and spend
crypto using a Mastercard (NYSE:MA) debit card. An
excerpt from the official website reads:
With Ziglu you can hold multiple (traditional/foreign
and digital) currencies in a single account. You can buy and sell foreign
currency at interbank rates, and buy or sell crypto at the best price across
multiple exchanges – guaranteed. No more complex transactions, and no more
rip-off rates or fees. You can also spend any currency you hold – including
crypto – instantly anywhere using your Mastercard debit card.
Open-source
blockchain project Electra announced that its flagship
crypto payments gateway project, ElectraPay, will begin pilot testing this
month. An excerpt from the blog post outlines the project:
In addition to being an alternative payment method,
there are many unique features built into ElectraPay. Currently, this includes
the capability to create payment rules such as fees and commissions, with plans
to integrate additional features such as an affiliate management system. These
unique features allow ElectraPay to stand out from typical financial management
systems that lack these capabilities.
Cointelegraph reports that the
government of South Korea is eyeing legislation for crypto taxation. The
country’s Ministry of Finance said:
"In the case of a corporation's virtual currency
transaction, all transactions that increase the entity's net assets are subject
to taxation under the current law, so it is taxable, but it is practically
impossible to produce tax revenue results by distinguishing only virtual
currency transactions."
