⚡ TFC Newsletter: 04/17/2023
Twitter x eToro Crypto Integration Launched, New Polygon + OV Accelerator, Crypto Fees Tracking, Terminals, Web3 Community, and more!
💡 Intro
🥳 Happy Monday! Crypto markets are holding strong, with BTC just under 30k and ETH at 2000.
Now that teams are tricking in back from NFT NYC last week, expect more updates from Web3 products this week.
Today: Twitter rolled out their integration with eToro that lets users buy crypto after searching for crypto tags within Twitter search.
Last week: the news on the integration broke, but the feature was finally added today.
Why This Matters:
Buying crypto is becoming much easier for retail: There is an ever increasing number of easy ways for retail traders to buy BTC, ETH, and alts
Twitter will keep adding crypto / trading features: This new feature follows their Trading View integration that was added months ago. Expect more crypto features to be added over time.
Elon is focused on making Twitter the “everything app”: Elon’s plan is to make Twitter much more than a messaging app. This feature is just the start of a bigger move into trading.
UI/UX of the new feature is below:
Outlier Ventures & Polygon Launch New Cohort Incubator: OV has launched their third Polygon Base Camp: projects developing cutting-edge solutions to address Web2 to Web3 onboarding, scalability and user experience.
A lot of useful platforms & tools have come from past OV cohorts, here’s some highlights from this new incubator round:
