Today’s news: Advertisers mull Inauguration Day plans, cable giants face pressure for distributing conservative news, and tech giants cut off Parler.

Advertisers weigh canceling Inauguration Day ads, fearing more violence after Capitol siege

Some advertisers are reassessing plans to run ads around the inauguration after the deadly attack on the US Capitol, Patrick Coffee and Claire Atkinson reported.
Around 50% of clients have un-paused ads since the attack but are closely monitoring the news, ad agency execs say.
 The inauguration has been a big ad buy in the past for companies like Google, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, and ad holding company IPG.

After US Capitol riots, cable giants face criticism for enabling the spread of misinformation

TV giants like Comcast, AT&T, Amazon, and Roku are facing criticism for spreading misinformation by airing conservative news networks Newsmax, Fox News, and One America News Network in the wake of the US Capitol attack, Claire and I report.
AT&T and Comcast could be seen as anticompetitive if they block the networks since they run competing networks, however.
Others like Dish say they don’t control the content that they distribute and want to give consumers choice.

Amazon’s decision to sever ties with Parler might not kill the controversial social media platform

Amazon, Google, and Apple have cut off Parler, an app used by Trump supporters to spread misinformation and incite violence.
But experts say that it’s unlikely to be the end of the platform, reports Andrew Dunn.
Parler CEO John Matze said the site could be down for up to a week while it rebuilds.

Trust Wallet integrates Apple Pay to streamline cryptocurrency purchases

  • Individuals can now buy crypto on Trust Wallet using Apple Pay.
  • The feature is currently available in more than 45 countries.
  • Such updates reduce entry barriers into the crypto and blockchain world.

Trust Wallet, one of the reputable digital asset wallets, has made another step toward promoting cryptocurrency adoption.

It has confirmed adding Apple Pay today, November 27, on X, allowing individuals in more than 45 countries to purchase their favourite virtual tokens within seconds.

Notably, the new feature promises an enhanced experience for new and existing users. The announcement read:

Trust Wallet has integrated Apple Pay. Buy your first crypto in seconds. Available in 45+ countries.

Indeed, purchasing digital tokens has been challenging for newbies, with lengthy verification procedures, numerous account setups, and limited payment methods often discouraging them.

Trust Wallet wants to address this challenge. With the integration of Apple Pay, it aims to make digital assets more accessible than ever, as individuals can now buy their “first crypto in seconds.”

How to get started

Depositing funds in a Trust Wallet account using Apple Pay is straightforward.

Users only need to open the app, visit the ‘Fund’ tab, and choose Apple Pay as the desired payment option.

Everything takes a few taps, mirroring the smooth experience when using Apply Pay for day-to-day purchases.

Most importantly, Trust Wallet benefits from Apple Pay’s credibility and security features, which include Touch ID, encrypted payments, and Face ID.

That promises streamlined crypto purchases that don’t compromise user safety.

Trust Wallet expands footprint globally

The team confirmed that users in more than 45 countries can access the Apple Pay transaction option.

Trust Wallet is lowering barriers to joining crypto, which will likely make it an entry point for millions who have struggled to access the digital assets market.

Individuals in jurisdictions with limited options to participate in the cryptocurrency industry now have a swift and secure option.

TWT price outlook

Trust Wallet’s native token remained somewhat muted in the past 24 hours.

The alt is trading at $1.08 after a slight 0.09% uptick on the daily price chart.

TWT has consolidated over the past week after losing nearly 15% in the last 30 days, influenced by broader selling pressure.

Meanwhile, TWT has underperformed the broader market today.

CoinMarketCap data shows the value of all cryptocurrencies increased by more than 3% the last 24 hours to $3.12 trillion.

Bitcoin is trading at $91,480, pumping the altcoin space as risk-on sentiments surfaced.

For now, Bitcoin should reclaim the key zone between $93,000 and $94,000 to shift its near-term trajectory to bullish.

That can support steady upswings towards the $100,000 psychological market.

However, a sudden selling wave will see it retracing to the ‘new’ liquidity region at $85,000 – $86,000.
