New Wallet is Based on Bancor’s BancorX Cross-Chain Initiative

The new wallet is deigned under the model of Bancor’s recently revealed cross-chain protocol BancorX. BancorX allows users to convert Ethereum (ETH) and EOS tokens without the use of exchanges.

The director of communications at Bancor, Nate Hindman, said via a statement, that Bancor’s release of the unified wallet is expected to clear the way for more integration of other Blockchains. Some of which include Bitcoin (BTC) and Tron (TRON).

Although Hindman didn’t give details about which particular chains will be integrated next, the Bancor chief emphasized “that the dev time needed to include these chains is now significantly lower than the amount of time it took the company to include EOS.”

From the press release, it is understood that the new Bancor Wallet offers instant speed. It also offers zero-fee transactions for 9,700 token pairs. This ensures that any digital token in the platform can be converted to any other at any time necessary. No matter the available buyers or sellers. With the Bancor Wallet, users will be able to access their dApps without leaving their wallet’s interface.

Ethereum Not a Security, SEC Chairman Reaffirms

Ethereum, not a security. At least that’s what the SEC has decided after it’s chairman made the remark. The SEC chairman, Jay Clayton, reaffirmed his agency’s initial stance that Ethereum, not a security offering. As such it is under a different regulatory structure which is more crypto-friendly by a mile. Clayton also added that cryptos similar to Ethereum are exempted from the securities classification. Although he didn’t single out any specific digital assets.

Although the news (that Ethereum, not a security offering) appears to be a positive move for Ethereum investors, it does not come as a surprise. The crypto that investors are more interested in hearing about is the SEC’s classification of XRP.
