Bir süredir güzel masallar dinlediğimiz Telegram'ın kripto para olayı resmen SEC sebebiyle askıya alındı. 2 yılı uzun süredir devam eden, peri masalı nasıl bitecek bilmiyoruz. Ancak ABD'li mesajlaşma uygulaması bu konuda bir ilerleme kaydedemese de Asya'lı mesajlaşma devi için her şey hazır...
Line'in yaptığı duyuruya göre bu yılın Nisan ayı sonlarında hazır olması beklenen platformda;
Token'in adı LINK, kısaltması LN. (
Yine duyuruda yer alan bir detaya göre, Line mesajlaşma uygulamasına entegre bir kripto varlık cüzdanı olacak ve bu cüzdan BitMax ile entegre çalışacak. Yani hem kripto para saklama hemde merkezi borsa trade'ı mümkün kılacak. Ancak sanırım farklı bir sürümü olacak bu BitMax'ın çünkü başlangıçta listelenecek coinler şöyleymiş; Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC).
Ve sanırım ilk aşamada sadece Japon vatandaşlarına.

Bu arada bir yandan yazarken bir yandan da araştırdığım üzere Line zaten LN tokeni 2018 sonlarında Bitbox üzerinden alım satıma açmış ancak Japonya'daki bir takım yasal düzenlemeler nedeniyle işler istenilen gibi gitmemiş. Şimdi bunu atlatabilecekleri bir borsa olarak BitMax'ı görüyorlar anlaşılan.
