The use of Segregated Witness on the Bitcoin Network has kept on rising throughout the bear market, and this year hit a new all-time high above the 62% mark. SegWit adoption has been growing partly because crypto exchanges have started adding support for it.

Despite improving fundamentals, regulators are seemingly not convinced. Qatar, a country in the Middle East with a population of 2.5 million, has reportedly banned cryptocurrency trading for unclear motives.

On the other hand, cryptocurrency adoption seems to be on the rise. Burger King Venezuela has partnered with a Latin American crypto trading platform to accept payments in top cryptoassets, and has plans to do so at 40 locations. Other reports suggest Burger King Slovenia is accepting BCH payments.
