California Attorney General Xavier Becerra issued a consumer alert warning about scams involving digital assets or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. He said there has been a push from fraudsters to offer schemes involving digital assets to persuade consumers and investors to offer up their cash in hopes of earning far more in return.
Online travel agency Agoda.com, a subsidiary of Booking Holdings, has teamed up with U.K.-based crypto-friendly travel booking platform Travala.com for providing seamless payments in cryptocurriencies such as Bitcoin for customers in addition to traditional payment methods. Rivals in the field, Expedia and Bookings.com have already signed similar deals with Travala.com since late November 2019.
