TheStreet reports that eBay, Inc. (NasdaqGS:EBAY) is considering adding
cryptocurrencies as a method of payment. The company’s CEO, Jamie Iannone,
explained :
"We're not accepting crypto
currently. [But] on March 10, we're going to go deeper on all of these things,
payments, advertising, our focus categories."
Iannone also explained the company’s addition of NFT
trading:
"We did change our policies last
year so that you could trade NFT[s] on the platform and essentially, you know,
eBay is a place where people have something to sell and people have something
by showing up. So even without announcing anything or doing anything, people
started trading NFT[s] on a platform. It reminded me of many years ago when
people just started selling cars when we didn't even have a vehicle business at
that point. So we're seeing the same type of thing [with NFTs]."
Block, Inc. (NYSE:SQ), formerly Square, Inc., has
published a shareholder letter outlining its results for the
fourth quarter of 2021. The following excerpt details the results of its
bitcoin (BTC) business through Cash App:
Cash App generated $1.96 billion of
bitcoin revenue and $46 million of bitcoin gross profit during the fourth
quarter of 2021, up 12% and 14% year over year, respectively. On a two-year
CAGR basis, bitcoin revenue and gross profit grew 232% and 285%, respectively.
Bitcoin revenue and gross profit benefited from year-over-year increases in the
price of bitcoin and number of bitcoin actives. Compared to the third quarter
of 2021, bitcoin revenue and gross profit increased on a quarter-over-quarter
basis, driven primarily by increased volatility in the price of bitcoin, which
affected trading activity compared to the prior quarter. For the full year of
2021, Cash App generated $10.01 billion of bitcoin revenue and $218 million of
bitcoin gross profit, up 119% and 124% year over year, respectively. In future
quarters, bitcoin revenue and gross profit may fluctuate as a result of changes
in customer demand or the market price of bitcoin, particularly as we lap
strong growth rates on a year-over-year basis in the first quarter of 2021.
GlobalBlock Digital Asset Trading Limited (TSXV:BLOK) has shared an update on the pending application
by its wholly-owned UK subsidiary, GlobalBlock Limited, for registration as a
cryptoasset business with the Financial Conduct Authority in the United
Kingdom. According to the press release, “GlobalBlock UK has now received a
Warning Notice from the FCA indicating that it is minded to refuse the
Application.” The company now plans to
“present a rigorous and fulsome response to the FCA,” in a bid to change
its conclusion.
