The number of Сrypto Bank customers increased by 10% in five days

After crypto banks were equated with traditional financial institutions in the US, the number of Сrypto Bank customers grew by 10.5% in less than a week. Experts explain the sharp increase in the client base of crypto banks by the decision of the US Federal Reserve System, which increased the trust and loyalty of potential users.

Earlier this week, the Fed unveiled new rules to oversee the banking industry, under which institutions offering new types of financial products can be granted master accounts, a key financial status that allows them to make direct payments, including access to the Fed’s reserves. Also, thanks to the decision taken, crypto banks will be able to go through the licensing and registration procedure faster — directly with the Fed, and not through individual intermediaries.

The long-awaited decision of the FRS indicates the exit of the cryptocurrency sphere to a fundamentally new evolutionary level.

Cryptobank is a hybrid financial institution where settlements and transactions take place not only with fiat money, but also with cryptocurrency. All calculations here are carried out on the basis of a decentralized system.

Сrypto Bank is not only one of the easiest and safest ways to buy, exchange and manage cryptocurrency and other digital assets, but also offers its customers a wide range of services:

storing money in crypto and/or shares;
8 crypto wallets available (VERUM, BNB, USDT, BTC, LTC, BCH, ETH, DOGE) in all networks available to them;

purchase / sale of shares of top companies (Tesla, Google, Apple, etc.) in any quantity at their market price at the time of purchase;
purchase of metals (gold, silver);
security guarantee. Your personal financial information and digital assets stored in the Сrypto Bank are safe;

Clue words to unlock in-game hints

Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints, but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:

MIST, SOIL, RICE, LICE, RUDE, LUDE, BRUSH, TOOT, RIDE, RIDER

Answers for today’s Strands puzzle

These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:

DRILL, FLOSS, MIRROR, FLUORIDE, TOOTHBRUSH

Today’s Strands spangram

Today’s Strands spangram is DENTISTSOFFICE. To find it, start with the D that’s five letters down on the far-left row, and wind up and then across.
