What happened in the past 24 hours
This time, the “what happened in the past 24 hours” section will not be about cryptocurrencies. However, it is connected to the market as it influences it highly. Apparently, a cure for the notorious COVID-19 virus which struck the world has been found.
A drug that treats malaria developed over half a century ago is showing great signs of being the cure for COVID-19, especially in combination with an antibiotic. The study showed great results in treating the virus.
Honorable mention
Tether
The world’s largest stablecoin by market cap has launched its operation on the Bitcoin Cash network. USDT will, at the time of writing, be available on the Bitcoin Cash network. On top of this, it is also available on many other networks, such as Ethereum, Algorand, Liquid Network, EOS, Omni, and Tron.
Tether (USDT) has seen a great surge of interest in recent weeks as the market has been going down. With people not wanting to get out of crypto, but wanting to protect their investments, Tether has been one of the main destinations for their funds.
