The majority of the cryptocurrencies are trading sideways while Bitcoin is holding the $61k region. Ethereum is showing strength around $3,700 with the fear and greed index turning to Extreme Greed.

Let’s find out the top crypto news for the day.

1 – Firo Launches New Crowdfunding System

Popular privacy coin Firo has launched a new crowdfunding system. The new system, called FCS, is now set to replace the old Community Crowdfunding System (CSS). It provides for the decentralization of funding for the Firo project. FCS allows any user to seek funding from the community for valuable work to support Firo. 

Firo’s original CCS is a fork of Monero’s. Though it is open-sourced, the licensing system needed the permission of the original developer to use the code. Now that FCS is permissionless, it is expected to accelerate the development of the project.

However, the announcement did not have a notable impact on the price of $FIRO yet.
