Major US Bank Launching Bitcoin and Crypto Wallet ‘For Any Coin’ in New Coinbase Partnership

The sixth-largest bank in the US just announced a strategic partnership with Coinbase in a push to massively expand digital asset access for banking clients and institutional investors. PNC says it will allow customers to buy, hold and sell Bitcoin and crypto assets while also providing banking and treasury management services for Coinbase. PNC CEO Bill Demchak tells CNBC the partnership will support clients who use stablecoins for payments, empowering digital money movement across retail, wealth and corporate clients. “We’re not going to produce a stablecoin per se, certainly not in our own name, but we’ll be a wallet, a provider for any coin that any of our clients want to use.” Demchak says PNC and Coinbase explored a similar partnership years ago but paused due to regulatory restrictions.

Mysterious entity may be collecting BTC users' IP addresses — Bitcoin developer

The entity reportedly uses a range of 812 different IP addresses to obscure its identity while collecting data.

The entity has been active since March 2018, and its IP addresses have shown up on several public posts from Bitcoin node operators over the past several years. 0xB10C is the developer of several Bitcoin analytics websites, including Mempool.observer and Transactionfee.info. They have also been awarded a Bitcoin developer grant from Brink.dev in the past. An entity I call LinkingLion, active since 2018 and on a Monero banlist, is opening connections to many clearnet Bitcoin nodes. Its presumably attempting to link transactions to node IPs. Maybe a chain analysis company trying to enhance its product?https://t.co/W4PDoln3p3 — 0xB10C (@0xB...
