It looks like Japanese internet and technology giant Rakuten is all set for the launch of its cryptocurrency exchange.

The company has completed the registration of its upcoming exchange after renaming it from Everybody’s Bitcoin to Rakuten Wallet, which is a much better name, isn’t it?Everybody’s Bitcoin was acquired by the company back in August 2018 for 265 million yen (around $2.4 million, which amounts to 17 crore 20 lakh rupees).

What followed the acquisition was a consolidation period in which company’s operations were merged with the operations of Rakuten Corp, and now finally a company employee has confirmed that Everybody’s Bitcoin will cease operations by the end of March to enter a new phase of its journey.

A press release was also issued by the company in this regard, which said:“Rakuten Wallet will contribute to the sound growth of the market as a virtual currency exchange company, and will further enhance security and provide enhanced services so that more customers can use it safely and with confidence.”Everybody’s Bitcoin had received a Business improvement order from Japanese FSA after the hack of Coincheck cryptocurrency exchange.

The FSA had launched an inquiry into operations of all Japanese crypto exchanges as a precautionary measure to prevent future Coincheck like incidents, and in those inquiries it found Everybody’s Bitcoin guilty of not following proper procedures to ensure the safety of users’ funds.

If you’re interested in good, all-around Bitcoin wallet, you’re in luck since the market is nothing short of over-saturated with dozens of fine products.

Just like most software of this type, it allows users to store, send, and receive Bitcoin is a secure and effortless manner.

The company behind GreenWallet is registered in the crypto-friendly paradise called Malta and operates independently even though was acquired by Blockstream in the summer of 2016.

You get a transparent supply chain based on blockchain technology.

We don’t realize it, but we get in touch with them on a regular basis.

For example, when we shop for anything from a reputed multinational brand we get in touch with one end of its global supply chain.

Speaking about the importance of these innovations Mr. David Treat, the global lead of blockchain team at Accenture, said:“Over the past several years, we have built upon our longstanding identity work with a focus on the more than 1 billion people in this world who lack any form of recognized identity.

We saw directly linking consumers and the value created at the end of a supply chain directly back to help small producers at the beginning as critical to actually driving real social and environmental change.”Mr.

Treat said that he and his partners are working on in-store, mobile-based and web-based implementations of this Circular supply chain to help customers get in touch with the decision makers involved in any supply chain.
