Alipay, Tencent face their biggest rival yet in Chinese central bank

China’s $27 trillion payments industry.

Forecasts that the PBOC could take as much as a third of the payments business.

Mobile payments for consumption represent 16% of gross domestic product in China, compared with less than 1% in the U.S. and U.K. where credit cards are more popular.

Even though they are inherently loss making — free to the user but incurring fees from banks — payment services are a key way to keep nearly a billion people using the apps and available to buy other finance services.

Alipay and WeChat Pay each have more than 900 million active users in the country.

Ark's Cathie Wood explains how bitcoin could increase by $400,000

by Jen Rogers

“We have been expecting institutions to start moving into Bitcoin and other crypto assets, but primarily bitcoin".

According to Ark’s Big Ideas for 2021, if all S&P 500 companies were to allocate 1% of their cash to bitcoin, its price could increase by approximately $40,000.

If those companies moved 10% of their cash to bitcoin, Ark sees the cryptocurrency climbing by $400,000.

“Bitcoin is only [at] roughly a $600 billion market cap,” Wood says. “So even half the size of Apple or Amazon, right now. Doesn't that put it into perspective? And yet, it is a very big idea, I think. A much bigger idea than Apple or Amazon.”

3 Big Ways Bitcoin is Actually Useful

by Eric Wade

First, bitcoin is a store of value.

Second, bitcoin is also by far the most common unit to trade with on most of the crypto exchanges.

Finally, you can’t interact with the bitcoin blockchain without it.

The best is yet to come. I believe the next generation will build things we haven’t even imagined yet with blockchain, bitcoin, and other crypto tokens.

These Countries Have the Strongest Bitcoin Restrictions

by ANUZ THAPA

Bitcoin has been dominating the headlines these days because of its price fluctuation.

This virtual currency, which came into existence in 2008, has been welcomed by many countries including the U.S., Canada, and others. However, several major nations are still more than skeptical.

India, the country which has the world's fifth-largest economy, has actually proposed a bill in Parliament to ban private cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and create its own digital currency.

In the U.S., billionaires like Elon Musk are all-in for cryptocurrency with Tesla investing $1.5 billion in bitcoin, Indian billionaires, however, are urging the government to ban cryptocurrency.

While speaking to CNBC, Indian billionaire Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, who is also considered as India's Warren Buffet, said that he would never buy bitcoin.

“I think regulators should step in and ban bitcoin,” he said. “And they should focus on the digital rupee.”

Well, China, which has the world's second-largest economy, is also not a fan of bitcoin. Although the country bans bitcoin trading, it has started testing its own digital currency.

Vladimir Putin's country, Russia, doesn't allow bitcoin as a mode of payment. The country has even banned its public officials from owning any cryptocurrency.
