NEWS: Ripple XRP Index added on NASDAQ!! Will crypto BOOM in 2019?

Today we have a Daily Token Review and three really awesome cryptocurrency news segments to share with you.

As seen on CoinMarketCap, bitcoin (BTC) has increased by 2.69 percent. Ether (ETH) still maintains its “second in command” status, with modest gains of 3.76 percent. Ripple’s XRP maintains the number three position as usual, and it’s currently gaining by 4.68 percent. Now, if I scroll down to the top 20, we’re also looking at a pretty lush and green market, with both Tezos and Cosmos increasing by 7.26 percent and 7.58 percent.

Now onto the news! Nasdaq has now launched a real-time XRP “index level information” on its Global Index Data Service (GIDS).

Reportedly, the XRPLX index was designed by Brave New Coin (BNC) whose primary area of focus is in distributed ledger technology (DLT). Importantly, the BNC team has made it clear that the entire data that makes up the XRPLX is gathered from highly reputed exchanges and its methodology has been independently audited so it complies with the requirements of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).

Now, onto the second news item for today! These are exciting times indeed for IOTA (MIOTA), as it has inked another important partnership deal barely 48-hours after its technology got integrated into the processes of Jaguar Land Rover.

Interestingly, ATX Transportation took to Twitter to announce the exciting initiative. Though the details of the latest partnership are yet to be disclosed, it goes a long way to show that the IOTA Tangle technology for mobility has a lot to offer in the real world.

Now, onto the third news item for today! According to a Yahoo! Finance report, citing a Business Wire press release, BitPay, the largest global bitcoin payments service provider, has partnered with Refundo to make it possible for taxpayers to get their federal and state tax refunds in bitcoin, via Refundo’s CoinRT platform.

Roger Chinchilla, CEO of Refundo, has said that taxpayers in the United States will now be able to receive their tax rebates in a safer, faster and more convenient way. Undoubtedly, this represents another excellent use case for Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin (BTC) and at this rate, it’s only a matter of time before we hit the moon once again!

So what are your thoughts on this situation?
Are you confident about Ripple’s progress? Do you think that the latest XRP Index by Nasdaq is a forward-thinking initiative?
