Stuttgart, Germany, June 3rd, 2025, Chainwire

With this achievement, CoinsBee now offers the largest selection of crypto-purchasable gift cards in the world, reinforcing its position as a key player in bridging the gap between digital assets and real-world spending.
Founded in 2019, CoinsBee was created to address a persistent challenge in the crypto ecosystem: the lack of straightforward, everyday use cases.

A valid email address is all that is needed for instant digital delivery. 'From the beginning, we wanted to make crypto usable — not just as a speculative asset, but as something you could spend globally on the things you need,' said Marius H., co-founder of CoinsBee. 'This milestone shows that the idea works. It is not about hype or tokens; it is about real-world value, one transaction at a time.' Turning Crypto Into Everyday Value
The 5,000-brand milestone represents more than just quantity. It reflects CoinsBee's ongoing effort to make cryptocurrency spending as accessible and versatile as possible. Today, users can use Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Solana, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and many other assets to access services in categories such as: E-commerce : Amazon, eBay, Walmart
: Amazon, eBay, Walmart Gaming : PlayStation, Steam, Roblox
: PlayStation, Steam, Roblox Streaming & Subscriptions : Netflix, Spotify, Twitch

The process is designed to be simple and fast. Transactions are completed in minutes, and all gift cards are delivered digitally via email. The platform also integrates with popular crypto payment tools such as Binance Pay and Crypto.com Pay, further reducing friction for users. Growing With the Ecosystem
CoinsBee's growth has been largely organic, driven by demand for practical crypto spending options and a consistent focus on user experience.

Canada Rescinds Tax On US Tech Firms In Hopes Of Trump Trade Deal
Canada will rescind taxes impacting US tech firms that had prompted President Donald Trump to retaliate by calling off trade talks, Ottawa said Sunday, adding that negotiations with Washington would resume. The digital services tax, enacted last year, would have seen US service providers such as Alphabet and Amazon on the hook for a multi-billion-dollar payment in Canada by Monday, analysts have said. Washington has previously requested dispute settlement talks over the tax -- but on Friday Trump, who has weaponized US financial power in the form of tariffs, said he was ending trade talks with Ottawa in retaliation for the levy. He also warned that Canada would learn its new tariff rate within the week. But on Sunday, Ottawa binned the tax, which had been forecast to bring in Can$5.9 billion (US$4.2 billion) over five years. Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne "announced today that Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States," a government statement said. It added that Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney "have agreed that parties will resume negotiations with a view towards agreeing on a deal by July 21, 2025." There was no immediate comment from the White House or Trump. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Friday that Washington had hoped Carney's government would halt the tax "as a sign of goodwill." Canada has been spared some of the sweeping duties Trump has imposed on other countries, but it faces a separate tariff regime. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has also imposed steep levies on imports of steel, aluminum and autos. Canada is the largest supplier of foreign steel and aluminum to the United States. Last week, Carney said Ottawa will adjust its 25 percent counter tariffs on US steel and aluminum -- in response to a doubling of US levies on the metals to 50 percent -- if a bilateral trade deal was not reached in 30 days. "We will continue to conduct these complex negotiations in the best interest of Canadians," Carney said Friday. He had previously said a good outcome in the talks would be to "stabilize the trading relationship with the United States" and "ready access to US markets for Canadian companies" while "not having our hands tied in terms of our dealings with the rest of the world." Carney and Trump met on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit in Canada earlier this month. Leaders at the summit pushed Trump to back away from his punishing trade war. Dozens of countries face a July 9 deadline for steeper US duties to kick in -- rising from a current 10 percent. It remains to be seen if they will successfully reach agreements before the deadline. Bessent has said Washington could wrap up its agenda for trade deals by September, indicating more agreements could be concluded, although talks were likely to extend past July.

Bitcoin Mining, Gamified: How GoMining Turns BTC Hashrate into Playable NFTs
The Bitcoin network has been inaccessible to most people since its inception, mostly because it operates as a domain for experts due to its complex nature. The path to becoming a miner includes three major challenges: purchasing costly equipment, learning technical operations, and finding affordable power sources. The current state of the industry has created a barrier that separates a vital segment of the crypto economy from the rest of the enthusiasts who want to participate. GoMining answers that question by changing the terms of engagement. With a significant footprint built over eight years, including 3.5 million users and a network of data centers with over 8.3 million TH/s of mining power, the platform is moving beyond the traditional model. Instead of asking users to become hardware experts, GoMining is transforming mining into an interactive digital experience. From hardware to digital miners The GoMining ecosystem is built around NFTs that represent a real-world share of Bitcoin mining hashrate called "digital miners." Instead of purchasing physical machines or navigating unclear cloud mining contracts, users acquire digital miners that generate daily Bitcoin rewards. In short, GoMining turns a complex industrial process into the ownership of a digital collectible with tangible utility by tokenizing hashrate. Each NFT is backed by a specific amount of computing power, ranging from 1 to 5,000 Terahashes per second (TH/s). Holders can upgrade their digital miners' hashrate and energy efficiency with a few clicks, simulating the experience of scaling a mining operation without the logistical friction. The daily Bitcoin yield from these NFTs is delivered directly to a user's chosen wallet, internal or external. Gamifying The Bitcoin Mining Experience GoMining reinvents the mining experience through gamification. The platform's dashboard equips users with a real-time interface to keep an eye on their BTC yield and NFT statistics, converting passive hardware ownership into active engagement. Users make decisions that directly impact their returns, such as picking a mining pool to join. Akin to selecting a faction in a strategy game, this choice affects the potential rewards. The ability to merge and upgrade NFTs creates a dynamic economy where users continually optimize their assets for better performance, adding another layer of interaction. Making the complex economics of mining both understandable and engaging, this gamified layer offers the psychological incentives of progression and achievement while being directly tied to real-world Bitcoin earnings. A Brief History of Gamified BTC Mining After years of strategic development, the company issued the GOMINING token and secured listings on major decentralized and centralized exchanges in 2021. The year laid important groundwork for establishing a public presence, including ambassadorships with figures like Khabib Nurmagomedov. 2022 saw the core product take shape with the first digital miner collection's release and the GoMining mobile app's launch. That year, the company focused on building the user-facing infrastructure, including an in-house payment gateway and the introduction of GOMINING token payments for services. By 2023, the project had achieved significant scale. The digital miners were listed on Binance, a new tokenomics model was introduced, and a crucial partnership with hardware producer Bitmain was formed. The company's hashrate grew exponentially, surpassing 3,000,000 TH/s with the launch of a new 50 MW data center. The expansion continued through 2024 and 2025. The platform acquired a $3 million investment from Bitscale Capital, obtained legal opinions for operations in the US and South Korea, and received a crypto license in the EU. The hashrate of the project jumped to 8,400,000 TH/s. Building a Bitcoin-Centric Ecosystem Gamified NFT miners form the base layer of a much broader strategy. GoMining is constructing a multifaceted ecosystem centered on Bitcoin, with its native GOMINING token serving as the economic backbone. Available on Ethereum, Solana and Binance Smart Chain (BSC), the token is used for digital miner NFT purchases, upgrades, and settling electricity fees, with users receiving a 10% discount if they choose to do so. Users can stake GOMINING for up to four years to earn yield and vote on important project decisions. The deflationary mechanism of GoMining's token, which involves community-regulated token burns and emissions, is designed to reduce circulating supply and align long-term incentives between the project and its users. This foundation supports an expanding suite of products. Miner Wars is a prime example of this gamified expansion. The game invites players to form clans and compete in timed rounds synchronized with the discovery of new Bitcoin blocks. Success within these 10-20 minute rounds depends on the cumulative hashrate of a clan's members, who can use boosts and other strategic elements to increase their score. Transforming mining into a collaborative and strategic contest, Miner Wars organizes clans into competitive leagues and rewards winners with BTC, adding a dynamic competitive layer. The future roadmap for GoMining includes a launchpad for new BTCfi projects to further integrate the GOMINING token and leverage its growing community. In addition, GoMining has developed a strategic capital division, GoMining Institutional to cater to larger-scale participants. A $100 million Bitcoin mining fund from GoMining Institutional offers annual distributions from mining yield for institutions. The Bigger Picture: Onboarding the Masses to Mining GoMining's strategy mirrors a bigger trend in the crypto industry: making complex financial systems more accessible. It aims to lower obstacles such as high capital requirements, operational expertise, and access to cheap power that have limited Bitcoin mining to a specialized few. GoMining opens up a more approachable entry point as it virtualises the physical infrastructure into a tradable digital asset. The model converts the industrial element of hashrate into a digital component of a game-like economy. The community's rising engagement points to a strong appetite for this approach. GoMining presents a compelling case study on how gamification can onboard a new generation of users to one of crypto's most fundamental activities.

Venetian vows: Bezos, billionaires, and backlash – DW – 06/27/2025
Image: Luca Bruno/AP Photo/picture alliance Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were in high spirits as they cruised through the waterways on Thursday for the welcome party for their multi-day wedding in the lagoon city. Entire neighborhoods have been cordoned off. Boat traffic on the busy canals has also been restricted. The couple is staying at the luxury hotel "Aman" on the Grand Canal. Image: Luca Bruno/AP/dpa/picture alliance US billionaire Jeff Bezos, founder of online retail giant Amazon, and former TV presenter Sánchez were set to tie the knot on Friday on the island of San Gregorio Maggiore. The small island, covering around 10 hectares, is located in the Venetian Lagoon and is home to a Benedictine monastery, a church, and the Teatro Verde, where the ceremony is expected to take place. Image: Matteo Chinellato/ipa-agency/dpa/picture alliance The police are patrolling the entire city and monitoring the canals with jet skis. Due to the protests that have been going on for days and the possibility of attacks, the highest security measures are in place. The dates and details of the multi-day celebration remained strictly confidential. Image: Pierre Teyssot/Maxppp/picture alliance A few days ago, a large Greenpeace banner caused a stir in St. Mark's Square. The poster, prominently placed on the ground, reads: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." For weeks, local and international activists have been protesting against the wedding and have already announced their intention to disrupt the celebrations. Image: Yara Nardi/REUTERS On the Rialto Bridge, protesters unfurl a banner reading "No Space for Bezos." The tech billionaire's lavish wedding brings together several controversial aspects: One of the richest men in the world is celebrating in a city that has become a symbol of mass tourism and the dramatic consequences of climate change in recent years. Image: Manuel Silvestri/REUTERS Tourists pose in front of an art installation by the collective "Konn Artiss," which depicts Jeff Bezos as a mannequin sitting on a toilet made of Amazon boxes. With several provocative installations throughout the city, the artist collective is protesting the mega-wedding in a unique way. Image: Click News/Handout via REUTERS Despite numerous protests, celebrities are everywhere: Even the Kardashian clan is not missing out on the spectacle, attracting attention on a boat on the Grand Canal. A total of around 200 to 250 prominent guests from politics, business, and entertainment were expected, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates, talk show icon Oprah Winfrey, and actor Orlando Bloom. Image: Guglielmo Mangiapane/REUTERS Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, traveled to the wedding marathon with her husband Jared Kushner and their children. The cost of the opulent celebration is estimated at at least $10 million (€8.5 million). The governor of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia, even spoke of up to €40 to €48 million. Image: Luigi Costantini/AP Photo/picture alliance The coming days are likely to be turbulent for guests and paparazzi alike, as the wedding celebrations are set to last for at least three days. Between June 25 and 28, expect to see numerous impressions of the mega-wedding — as well as further protests. Image: Pierre Teyssot/Maxppp/picture alliance 06/27/2025 June 27, 2025
