A little over a month after Robinhood released its first crypto wallet, the company says it’s already working on a second

Robinhood’s new wallet will give users sole custody over the keys needed to control their money on the blockchain.

It means users won’t depend on Robinhood if the system fails.

But there are some risks of losing the funds altogether, especially if they lose their private key.

The company says the wallet will be offered as a standalone app and says it will have an accessible and simple design.

Crypto has quickly become part of Robinhood’s business strategy.

The company recently said Bitcoin was the number one recurring asset its users have been buying this year.

MiamiCoin crypto lost 88 percent of its value in less than a year

The CityCoin initiative requires miners to gain tokens on the Stacks Blockchain to then be used to bid for Miami-Coin

Allegedly the winning bidder receives 70 per cent of their investment in MiamiCoin, while the U.S. city receives the other 30 per cent in tokens.

The coin has enjoyed the support of the city’s Mayor Francis X. Suarez, who once said it could lead to a government running the city without citizens paying taxes.

When the project first launched, it was projected to succeed as the city’s mayor received a grant for over $5 million.

I’m so excited to announce that the @CityofMiami has received its first-ever disbursement from @mineCityCoins totaling $5.25M.

This is a historic moment for our city to collaborate with an innovative project that creates resources for our city through innovation not taxation.

Cryptocurrencies may soon be subject to taxation requirements in Portugal following recent comments made in the nation’s parliament

The Portuguese Minister of Finance says the move would be in line with many other countries who already have such regulations in place.

Portugal was previously considered a tax haven for crypto investors, with the nation boasting an effective capital gains rate of zero.

Experts are now convinced the government will move forward with the taxation changes, and believe the new policy will include a capital gains tax.

It remains unclear how the practices of staking or yield farming will be affected.

It follows the Australian government warning investors need to report capital gains and losses on crypto each year.

The UK and the U.S. have also recently introduced similar tax requirements for digital currencies.
