KuCoinWallet supports domain names. KuCoin Wallet has added support for mainstream naming protocols which allow humans to use easy-to-remember domain names for cryptocurrency addresses.

Select the token you want to send — Open the KuCoin Wallet App. Choose the token you want to send and remember to select the right network. Enter the domain name in the address bar — Tap [Send] on the page of the token and input the number of tokens you want to send. On the sending page, type the domain name in the address bar. If an address appears under the address bar, it’s possible to send tokens to that name. Then click [Next].

Public Bitcoin miners sold off nearly everything they mined in 2022 but appear to have started accumulating reserves once again in what some hope is a bullish signal. Publicly listed Bitcoin (BTC) miners sold off almost 100% of all the Bitcoin they mined throughout 2022, leading to a debate over whether the sales created "a persistent headwind" for the Bitcoin price or not. Analyst Tom Dunleavy from blockchain research firm Messari shared the data in a Dec. 26 tweet which indicated that approximately 40,300 of the 40,700 BTC mined by Core Scientific, Riot, Bitfarms, Cleans Park, Marathon, Hut8, HIVE, Iris Energy, Argo and Bit Digital from Jan. 1 to Nov. 30 was sold off. BTC miners sell roughly 100% of the coins they mine The 10 public bitcoin miners detailed here mined ~40.7k BTC and sold ~40.3k in 2022 This is a persistent headwind for BTC and for no other reason a good thesis to be bullish the ETHBTC ratio trade pic.twitter.com/L1iI6Z07p7 — Tom Dunleavy (@dunleavy89) Decem
