One of the issuers of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US, WisdomTree, has announced the expansion of its WisdomTree Prime app to users in New York.

Expanded Custody And Stablecoin Services

This development closely follows WisdomTree’s recent achievement of a New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) charter, granting the company the status of a limited-purpose trust company under the New York Banking Law.

This charter enables the asset manager to custody digital assets, including offering digital wallet services, issuing and exchanging DFS-approved stablecoins, and managing stablecoin reserves through its newly established entity, WisdomTree Digital Trust Company.

According to the asset manager’s announcement, the trust charter and added authorities enable WisdomTree Digital Trust Company to provide increased customer protection, particularly regarding asset safekeeping.

WisdomTree Prime App And Visa Debit Card Make Joint Debut In NY

The launch of the WisdomTree Prime app in New York coincides with the recent introduction of the WisdomTree Prime Visa Debit Card issued by Stride Bank.

According to the Bitcoin ETF issuer, this card will allow users to purchase with their available wallet balance wherever Visa is accepted, effectively bridging personal finance and digital asset investing.

Will Peck, Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree, expressed his excitement about the company’s accomplishments:

Since our initial entry into select states’ app stores last summer, we have gained significant momentum across various fronts, including the launch of new digital funds, payment capabilities, and collaborations with regulators like the New York State Department of Financial Services. Our aim is to empower consumers in utilizing digital assets in their everyday financial lives. We are excited to provide retail investors in New York with access to the app, as we recognize the rapid growth of the digital asset market in this region, which we expect to be highly influential for WisdomTree Prime.

In addition to New York, WisdomTree Prime has gone live in several other states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, and Ohio, bringing the total number of states in which it is available to 41.

As of the current press time, the leading cryptocurrency in the market is trading at $62,300.

Despite these downward price fluctuations, BTC has maintained a week-over-week gain of nearly 5%.

For many Americans the 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan was an egregious betrayal. Whether strategic warfare or the result of pure negligence and incompetence, 13 Americans soldiers lost their lives. Following the withdrawal, the White House reported 100 to 200 Americans were remaining in Afghanistan with intentions to flee. According to the National Resistance Front (NRF), a military alliance of former Northern Alliance members and other anti-Taliban fighters, America has lost 98% of its itel collection capability in Afghanistan, leaving the country a breeding ground for 27 plus terrorists organizations.

Just two days following the U.S. evacuation of troops from Afghanistan, September 2, 2021, a plane carrying 150 Chinese nationals landed in Bagram Airfield, outside of Parwan Province. Two weeks after their arrival, began a steady flow of incoming Chinese nationals to the airfield with an estimated 350 plus stationary. What is their objective plan? 

For over a decade, China has been strengthening its diplomatic efforts in creating a stabilized Afghanistan, among a plethora of other struggling countries. Providing the country with over a billion yuan in aid and pledging millions more. China has also provided 500 scholarships for Afghan students to study in China, as well as training to 3,000 Afghan professionals in various fields, including counterterrorism, anti-drug trafficking, agricultural and diplomacy. China has helped promote economic independence within the country through the framework of China's Silk Road Economic Belt strategy. 

Since the withdrawal of U.S. troops, China has been intensifying its influence and succor to Afghanistan in full support and pledge to the Taliban. In January of 2024, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with the Taliban-appointed Afghan ambassador in a formal ceremony at the Great Hall of the People, accepting and recognizing the ambassador's credentials. Likewise, the CCP has set up shop in Kabul sending their own ambassador who has been equally recognized by the Taliban. Their support doesn't end there. China has been actively assisting in helping build the Taliban's military division. Chinese defense company, Norinco, a weapons manufacturer, sanctioned in 2003 by the Bush administration for selling missile-related goods to Iran, has been holding meetings with the Taliban's defense ministry. Norinco, known for its "arms for minerals" deals, has provided the Taliban with the installation of over 100,000 state of the art surveillance cameras in Kabul alone, through Huawei. Huawei, a Chinese global provider of communication and technology infrastructure, was placed on the U.S. "entity list" and flagged as a national security threat in 2019 by the Trump administration, restricting suppliers from selling U.S. goods and technology. 

Through this "arms for minerals" deal, China has signed billion dollar contracts with the Taliban to engage in the mining and extraction of lithium, gold, copper and other rare-earth minerals. Afghanistan has the largest deposit of lithium which is a known prime commodity for the transition to a green energy or a carbon-free world. China has been known to dominate the lithium supply chain by insidious means and their recent alliance with the Taliban follows suit. 

There is no denying the flurry of diplomatic activity between China and the Talbian. The CCP's leadership undoubtedly has a domestic interest in protecting order and security as the two countries share a 57 mile long border. However, China's international or geostrategic projections are almost indisputable as the country was prepped and ready to step in just days after the United States abrupt abandonment. Is it possible, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan wasn't proof of the negligence and or incompetency of the current U.S. administration, but rather another example of what could be a strategic move toward a new order where China holds global economic and political dominance? Could this fall in line with the pattern we've seen of the U.S allowing Chinese nationalist to hold government seats and intentionally turn an blind eye to BRICS, Chinese U.S land grab, and the unprecedented amounts of Chinese nationalists crossing our border via the Darien Gap?

[Open letter to the The State Duma The Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation]
On behalf of the free people of the nation of Canada:
Today, the people of Russia remember День Победы, Victory Day. We, the people of Canada, remember that day as well. We remember the 27 million sons, fathers, grandparents, mothers, daughters who died to protect Russian and Canadian citizens from the Nazi German tyranny that gripped Europe. We, the people of Canada, fully understand that you were our ally during World War Two and today wish to live in peace and mutual prosperity with the people of Canada. As well, we wish for this peace and prosperity. But our nation finds itself under the grip of the fallen angel, Satan. Our nation is being mismanaged by a group of political fools who drag us into one conflict after another, one economic destruction after another until they will discover that they have destroyed Canada.
We the people of Canada want the Russian people to understand that we love the Russian people and hate the way NATO has willfully mistreated you. We, the Canadian people wish only the very best for the Russian people and send our love and respect. The sacrifices that you made for us will not be forgotten. We, the people of Canada, want you to know that Canadians are not your enemy and never will be. Whatever may happen in the future. Take care. We love you all. --Nakajima
