Global eye on cryptocurrency
President Joe Biden is being urged by a new US Treasury initiative to collaborate with international allies in order to regulate cryptocurrencies. In a memo addressed to the President, the Treasury suggested that the US keep working with the G-7 on cryptocurrencies to develop rules for policing digital payment infrastructures.
Teller has launched a buy now, pay later service for NFTs
For blue chip NFTs, Teller is a decentralised lending protocol built on Polygon that offers a function called "buy now, pay later." At launch, Ape Now, Pay Later will sponsor ten famous NFT projects. Buyers will be required to put down up to 50% of the cost of the NFT. In the event that all payments are made on schedule, NFTs will be released from an escrow wallet.

The company has $110 million in cash and crypto assets on hand, $1.3 billion in crypto assets on its platform, and $350 million in user accounts. Voyager is owed more than $650 million by 3AC.
