Three largest cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple - saw losses, but their scale could be described as slight at most. According to CoinMarketCap, the capitalization of the whole crypto market stands around $133 billion mark on Thursday morning.

New York forms crypto task force
The New York State is launching a digital currency task force, as the Assembly Bill on the New York State Senate’s website reports. The new group will be focused on understanding digital currencies and blockchain technology. It is aimed to provide “information on the potential effects of the widespread implementation of digital currencies on financial markets in the state”, as we could read in a summary of the bill. The bill was signed by Andrew Cuomo, the Governor of New York, on December 21. Results of digital currency task force’s activity are required to be reported by December 15, 2020, thus it means that the group has nearly two years to complete its research.
Ethereum (ETHEREUM on xStation5) surged to around $155 yesterday. However, the second largest cryptocurrency has experienced a slight decline during today’s trading. Source: xStation5
Nearly 950 retailers accept Bitcoin Cash
945 retailers are already able to accept Bitcoin Cash all around the world, according to the Accept Bitcoin Cash Initiative which delivers a list of merchants accepting this cryptocurrency. What’s more, 670 brick-and-mortar merchants accept Bitcoin Cash as per the data from Marco Coino. A large part of them is localized in Europe (337). In North America we may localize as many as 134 physical stores accepting Bitcoin Cash, and in Australia 120 such merchants. Let us remind that Bitcoin Cash experienced a huge sell-off in several past months, and its hard fork may be considered as one of reasons behind these huge decreases started in November.
Ripple (RIPPLE on xStation5) has also dropped similarly to its bigger peers like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Source: xStation5
