Daily crypto: Facebook block links to crypto site, ripple and bitcoin cash are bullish

There is not much news to report from the last 24 hours, but among the more interesting ones, it has been reported that the South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb are planning on releasing their own token through a so-called ICO. It is still unclear how the token is going to work, but according to the local news site TokenPost, the Bithumb token is created mainly for large-scale investors.

The bitcoin trial in Norway

Further on, we have also received more information about the Norwegian bitcoin trial that started yesterday. The man behind one of the largest bitcoin exchanges in Norway, Sturle Sunde from Bitmynt AS, are suing Nordea Bank for shutting his private bank account down, and also denying him to open a business account. Nordea Bank has explained the decision by pointing to security risks surrounding bitcoin transactions. The trial will continue today. Yesterday, Trijo News published an article (in Swedish) going over the details of the trial.

Is Facebook blocking crypto sites?

Last but not least, it seems like Facebook has decided to block links to the cryptomarket information site marketcoinprice.com. It is still unclear if this is a deliberate block from Facebook, or if it is just some kind of error in their system. It is still possible to post links to the site as private posts, comments and in Messanger, but when trying to post on a Facebook page you get the message embedded below. Trijo News have been testing about ten different links to other crypto sites, without encountering the same problem.
