📰 News Highlights:

Coinbase Adds Apple Pay Integration [Source][Source]

Coinbase has fully integrated Apple Pay into its Onramp app services, allowing seamless transactions for users starting Dec. 2.

This integration requires no action from developers, instantly enhancing app functionality for millions of iOS users.

Apple Pay’s adoption, already seen with platforms like Binance and MetaMask, adds convenience and familiarity to cryptocurrency transactions.

CZ Open to Trump Pardon [Source]

Former Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao has expressed willingness to accept a presidential pardon from Donald Trump after serving a four-month prison sentence for failing to maintain anti-money laundering controls at Binance.

Despite his guilty plea and exit as CEO, Zhao remains an influential figure in the crypto industry. However, Zhao’s lifetime ban from managing Binance would likely remain intact.

💡 Feature of the Day: 

WisdomTree Files for XRP ETF [Source][Source][Source]

WisdomTree has officially filed with the SEC for a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), joining the likes of Bitwise, Canary Capital, and 21Shares in the competition.

The ETF aims to provide direct exposure to XRP prices, with shares to be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange.

The fund will rely on Coinbase as its prime custodian and execution agent, a partnership that has proven effective for WisdomTree’s Bitcoin ETF, launched earlier this year.

If approved, this product would mark another milestone for XRP’s increasing institutional acceptance following Ripple’s legal clarity on its status as a non-security.
