Itโ€™s been difficult not to obsess over bitcoinโ€™s price since the middle of December. It topped $40,000 last week, bringing back sweet memories of the 2017โ€™s spectacular cryptocurrency boom. Some even predict that the price could rise to $146,000 if it becomes established as a safe-haven asset. But itโ€™s not just public investors profiting from the sudden increase, plenty of European startups are also profiting from the boom.

๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿš€Sifted has talked to leading European startup market players (Wirex, Copper, CryptoCompare, Bitpanda & Bitstamp), to learn, first-hand, how this cryptocurrency boom is playing out for them!

๐Ÿš˜๐Ÿš–Many of us need some form of transportation to get around โ€” and most cars, buses and public transport systems are still far from perfect.

As countries, cities and businesses around the world are making strong sustainability pledges, a rush of green transport startups has arrived to work towards these goals. And theyโ€™re not alone โ€” a new breed of corporate accelerators is stepping up to help them get off the ground.

๐Ÿšฒ๐ŸžNowhere is there a greater need to introduce environmentally friendly technologies than the fastest growing source of global emissions: the transportation industry.

At InnMind, for example, NILSA TELEMETRIC SL & Spadrone, are some of the greatest examples of #startups working in #transportation on our platform!
