What happened in the past 24 hours

Former Wall Street executive Caitlin Long is taking advantage of Wyoming legislature to establish the first crypto-native bank in the United States. The bank’s name will be Avanti, meaning “forward” in Italian.

Long announced the news in a series of 29 tweets. She believes that a critical piece of US market infrastructure is missing, with her bank being the solution.

Honorable mention

EOS troubles?

One of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Coinbase, said that the EOS has degraded its performance, with sends and receives possibly suffering from delays.

The exchange later stated that the EOS network is still suffering from degraded performance. However, EOS Nation responded that the EOS main net is “currently extremely reliable.”

The tweet that EOS Nation posted included a chart that was showing a slight blip on Feb 20, with 192 blocks missing due to the micro-forking issue. However, the chart also indicated a stable mainnet performance for the past two weeks.
