Binance joins Neo Council, 2.1 million NEO used to secure two Top 21 positions

Binance Staking has secured two positions on the Neo Council. At the time of press, Binance has voted with approximately 2.1 million NEO to secure its places in the Top 21. Binance is the world's largest custodial exchange with nearly US $9.07 billion in 24-hour volume, according to CoinCap.io. Binance Staking is a service that allows users to earn distributions offered on proof-of-stake or other networks that distribute rewards to participants.

Yelp Announces New Feature For Bitcoin



Yelp officially announced on April 10th that it would add a feature for businesses to show if they accept bitcoin.

It is a simple feature but shows that bitcoin is still being adopted.

Quoted from yelps official blog post:

As a business owner, you can let your customers know you're accepting Bitcoin by logging into your free business owner tools on biz.yelp.com and updating your payment attributes.

Rumors about Yelp adding the bitcoin feature started circulating around April 10th. Several small stores have already turned the feature on and show that they accept bitcoin.

The good thing about this announcement is that it means merchant adoption is happening. We saw Xapo who brought bitcoin to a debit card and now Yelp announces further merchant features.

After the bad news from china that caused a dump today we saw an uptrend back up. This announcement definitely helped the bitcoin price today. Currently the buy volume is pretty strong so an uptrend is expected.
