The post Hong Kong-based Gaming Company Exchanges Its Ethereum for Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hong Kong-based gaming company Boyaa Interactive has announced an unexpected crypto swap, shuffling some of its Ethereum for Bitcoin. Ethereum’s selling pressure continues despite a recent price awakening. For context, the altcoin king surged to a five-month high above $3,600 on Wednesday amid growing bullish momentum. Despite Ethereum’s growing price, a notable Chinese firm has dumped the asset for its biggest rival, Bitcoin.
