Here are some developments in the crypto world over the past few days
Crypto company Suku's payment application allows users to send digital currencies and NFTs directly on Twitter. The company plans to expand to other social media platforms, Binance News reported.
While Twitter's recent rebranding to "X" is part of Elon Musk's strategy to transform the social media platform into a payments application, crypto company Suku is already ahead of the curve, the report said.
Within 48 hours of NFT minting, over 50,000 NFTs were created, downloading the Suku Wallet Chrome extension or accessing the wallet's website using their Twitter handle. Suku aims to broaden its reach to other social media platforms, working towards a decentralized payment system that seamlessly connects all platforms. As a result, Suku's payment application could become a substantial contender in the race to integrate crypto transactions into social media ecosystems seamlessly.
