In Lithuania the first crypto marathon took place.
Thousands of participants who used the Lympo Run (a blockchain based sports app developed by Lithuania blockchain company Lympo) won tokens on the Vilnius marathon.
During the marathon, I’ve had a chance to talk with a few runners who used Lympo Run to track their races. It was incredibly inspiring to finally see people enjoying the app and actually getting rewards for completing challenges. We still have so much ahead of us, but this was truly a beautiful start and a major milestone in Lympo’s journey,” – said Ada Jonuse, Lympo CEO.

In the race to regulate crypto, I don’t think there is a need for European legislators to rush to find a solution to govern the market.

Nicolas Gilot, Co-CEO of Ultra.
After meeting in Vienna, EU Finance ministers have agreed not act rashly in regulating the emerging crypto markets in Europe.
