What’s new? Crypto exchange BitMEX, in partnership with Astrobotic Technology, a developer of space robotics, and Bitcoin Magazine, will send a hardware crypto wallet with 1 BTC to the Moon. The wallet, engraved with a public address and private key, will be placed in a rocket to be launched from Kennedy Space Center this summer. BitMEX Acting CEO and Chief Financial Officer Stefan Lutz called the bitcoin launch to the Moon “a breakthrough in human history.”

In addition, special commemorative Bitcoin-NFTs will go on sale closer to the rocket launch date. They will also be sold through an auction.
