The Crypto Report: Whatsapp launches limited crypto wallet program, OpenSea denies IPO

Meta platform’s Whatsapp has launched a limited program of its cryptocurrency wallet called Novi – and now – a limited number of people in the US can send and receive crypto inside a chat. Novi head Stephane Kasriel announced the news in a tweet on Wednesday.

NFT marketplace OpenSea has denied it is planning an initial public offering (IPO), amidst a backlash from the cryptocurrency community. No IPO would mean no token for its early adopters, much like the US leading crypto exchange Coinbase, which only went public in April – nine years after being founded.
