A European dealer in gold, silver, platinum and palladium, SwissBullion.eu has expanded its payment methods to include XRP and Ethereum ETHUSD.
The two major cryptocurrencies join Bitcoin, which is already accepted by the precious metals dealer, which also supports stablecoin payments, including Tether USDTUSD and Circle's USDC.
According to a press release by SwissBullion.eu, accepting ETH will ensure that its clients can leverage a highly liquid and globally recognized cryptocurrency to buy precious metals with speed and efficiency. In addition, accepting XRP aligns with its vision of frictionless, borderless access to gold and silver for a global customer base.

Two Massachusetts residents lost a total of nearly $7,000 to scams involving Bitcoin ATMs, police said, due to fictitious phone calls requesting money for missed jury duty appearances.
After the Monday incidents, the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office is now warning residents about the scheme.  
“The Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office never makes calls like this, and neither do local police departments,” said Sheriff Patrick McDermott in a statement.
“Just hang up on anyone who is demanding money and acting like they are from our office, or another law enforcement agency, threatening you with arrest or detainment for things like ‘missed jury duty’ or an ‘outstanding warrant.’”
In both instances, victims were led to believe that the individual on the phone worked for the sheriff’s office and that they would be detained if they did not pay. They were then directed to send funds using Bitcoin ATM kiosks nearby. 
“You may be caught off guard and unwittingly fall victim. If they call back. Hang up again and report the calls to your police department," the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
A representative for the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office told Decrypt it could not offer guidance on the likelihood of recovery of funds. The representative pointed to the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office information crypto scams, which indicates that cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
Scams involving Bitcoin ATMs and kiosks have been on the rise, costing victims nearly $247 million in 2024 according to data gathered in the FBI’s Internet Crime Report.
The jump led to an urgent alert by the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in August, flagging the kiosks’ frequent use in scams, particularly against elderly individuals.
Some places are starting to crack down on the crypto machines. In June, Spokane, Washington’s City Council voted unanimously to ban virtual currency kiosks citywide. New Zealand also banned crypto ATMs earlier this year and capped international cash transfers to $5,000 to deter money laundering and criminal finance. 
Regulation is also coming into play—like in Illinois, where the Digital Asset Kiosk Act was signed into law in August, creating transaction limits for new users and requiring ATM operators to refund scam victims in full.

Pi Network’s highly anticipated mainnet launch went ahead yesterday marking a significant milestone in cryptocurrency history. Excitement surged across the market, driving Pi Coin’s value up by over 36% within an hour. Prices peaked at $3.41 on Bitget, reflecting the years of anticipation leading up to the launch.
It’s the biggest crypto news this week – Pi Network has finally launched after several delays.

Pi Network, a blockchain project centered on mobile-based mining, underwent development for more than six years. Prior to this public launch, operations remained restricted within a closed mainnet since 2021, permitting only internal transactions. 
Now, with an open mainnet, 57 million registered users, widely recognized as Pioneers, can engage in unrestricted token trading. Additionally, more than 100 decentralized applications (dApps) are active on the platform, spanning sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming.

A mobile-first mining system distinguished Pi from traditional proof-of-work cryptocurrencies. Millions worldwide interacted with the network long before its public release, establishing Pi as one of the most widely embraced blockchain initiatives. Engagement on X has surged, surpassing industry giants like Ethereum Foundation and Solana, with Pi Network amassing over 3.8 million followers.
WATCH Pi NEWS AND PRICE UPDATE
Despite the initial rally, Pi Coin’s price saw wild swings. Pi Coin’s price peaked at $1.97 within the first hour before quickly dropping to $1.80 on OKX and $1.70 on Bitget. These fluctuations were a sharp contrast to the speculated IOU prices of $60 to $70 circulating before the mainnet launch.

Some exchanges saw extreme movements. On Bybit, Pi Coin briefly fell below $1 before bouncing back. The sudden surges and dips highlight the intense speculation and unpredictability of newly listed tokens. Meanwhile, Pi’s trading volume soared by 250% in just minutes, reflecting strong market demand.
Currently, Pi Coin is trading at $0.91230 on OKX and $1.06 on Bitget, indicating continued volatility. While some investors expect further gains as more exchanges consider listing Pi, others warn that the price might face pressure as early miners start cashing out their holdings.
Pi Coin’s availability on centralized exchanges (CEXs) has played a huge role in its price action. Major platforms like OKX, HTX, Bybit, MEXC, Gate.io, BitMart, and Bitget have already listed the token. However, the biggest exchange in the world, Binance, has taken a cautious approach.
Instead of listing Pi Coin immediately, Binance launched a community poll, allowing users to vote on whether the token should be added to its trading platform. The poll closes on February 27, 2025, and its outcome could significantly impact Pi’s future price movements. Other key players like Coinbase, Kraken, and Upbit have also not announced their decision regarding Pi’s listing.

This hesitation from major exchanges could slow down Pi’s adoption in the wider market. At the same time, if Binance and Coinbase eventually list the token, new demand could trigger another price surge. Until then, Pi Network’s price will likely remain highly volatile as speculation continues.
