Bitcoin and altcoins are green on Tuesday as buyers are controlling the markets. Cryptos are trying to return their positions that they have lost during the past week. There are no important events for this and the growth is likely to be a part of an upside correction.
As for interesting news, cryptocurrencies are accepted in Russia during FIFA 2018 World Cup. One cannot buy tickets directly, but crypto users may choose several methods including banking cards like Wirex or Epayments to purchase anything.
After the US has declared sanction against Russia, Mastercard and Visa have stopped working with some Russian banks. Cryptos help visitors and football fans pay for goods and services.
EOS still suffers from different issues. The Mainnet is down and nobody knows when the issue will be fixed.
