Bitcoin Halving and Geopolitics: The Liquidity Conundrum

Apr 19, 2024 | 10:54 am

The long-awaited day of the 4th phase of Bitcoin's halving is looming in the cryptocurrency sector. The countdown to this event shows that it could happen around the final hours of Friday evening if you are located in the Americas or Saturday morning if you are in Asia or Europe.According to the market metrics, the event is much anticipated and should be discounted well in advance of its actual occurrence. In contrast to unpredictable overnight barrages of rockets in the heat of the Middle East, the halving event has a clear outcome—the amount of BTC rewards that miners get for completing a block will be reduced in half to 3.125 BTC from the current 6.25.This will inevitably lead to less supply from miners, but does it change the liquidity of the overall market? We will attempt to answer that question in the coming paragraphs, and while at it, we will also highlight some challenges related to the current geopolitical landscape and the resulting jittery market conditions we have recently observed.Are Previous Halvings Linked to Liquidity Squeezes?Every time 210,000 blocks are mined, the Bitcoin network's protocol cuts in half the amount of new rewards. As highlighted by the institutional research team at Coinbase, this means that the newly minted supply will drop from 900 Bitcoins per day to 450 Bitcoins per day. At current market prices ($65,000 per BTC), this equates to roughly $30,000,000 worth of new supply per day or $900,000,000 per month.These figures are rather low compared to the average daily trading volumes across crypto exchanges, especially since the launch of BTC ETF trading, which triggered increased interest in the asset class.The amount of tradable Bitcoin has also been on the rise during the recent bull run that accelerated since early Q4 2023. According to the team at Coinbase Institutional Research, active BTC supply, defined as Bitcoin moved in the past three months, rose to 1.3 million. This figure is in comparison to 150,000, which was mined during that time.In a statement shared with Finance Magnates, Coinbase's Research Analyst, David Han, mentioned that the decline in BTC mining issuance could create new supply-side dynamics that are constructive in the longer term.Han expressed his doubts as to whether that can result in an imminent supply crunch: “We find that the largest contributors to increased BTC supply during bull markets come from long-term wallets beginning to activate instead of from newly mined BTC.”Crypto and Fiat Liquidity Cycles – the Signal and the NoiseA widely held belief in the cryptocurrency community is that halving events are usually followed by a significant rally in the value of their digital assets. While there is some historical correlation to corroborate this notion, science has long established - correlation does not imply causation.The logical fallacy where two events that occur at a similar time have a cause-effect relationship is at the center of spurious relationships - two events can be correlated, but that connection may not be causal.With only three halving events behind us and a fourth one brewing, one can observe correlations, but not necessarily cause-effect relationships. Halving events don’t perfectly coincide with central bank liquifying cycles, but as the chart below shows, there is some food for thought for risk-management teams and traders alike.Less than 7 hours to the #Bitcoin halving ⏳Where do you see the price of $BTC going next?Catch the countdown here: https://t.co/hBaJI9Juo9 pic.twitter.com/BfrAfkBh3I— CoinGecko (@coingecko) April 19, 2024Around the first halving in 2012, the Fed launched the third chapter of its post-financial crisis quantitative easing program (QE3), shortly followed by the first US debt ceiling crisis and the loss of the reserve currency issuer’s AAA rating.The second one, in 2016, was followed by the Bank of England’s post-Brexit ramp-up of bond buying in tandem with the ECB’s asset purchase program. Fast-forward to 2020, and we all remember the central bank and fiscal policy bazookas firing left and right with fiat liquidity so ample that it ultimately caused the sharpest spike in inflationary pressures globally since the 1970s. Geopolitical BlocksIt was an early morning in the Middle East, as a well-telegraphed attack by Iran had been unleashed upon Israel. With all other financial markets closed, it was up to crypto to reflect the current state of mind (or compute).The old Wall Street saying, “up the stairs, down the elevator,” came to mind as BTC and ETH dropped in tandem in rapidly dwindling liquidity conditions. That night, Coinbase registered about $2 billion worth of liquidations, the company’s institutional research team highlighted in a recent weekly market call.In contrast to the rather gradual price action that unfolded in the aftermath of the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas, the Iranian attack, despite being well-telegraphed before the weekend, did result in material price action across the crypto market.At one point, Pax Gold, a crypto token supposed to be fully backed by gold, spiked about $1000 at a time when the physical gold market, which is underpinning the coin's value, wasn’t open. The magnitude of the attack certainly surprised market participants, while some automatic “stop trading” commands must have been unleashed across algorithmic trading strategies.Events centered around geopolitical stress have certainly caused some leveraged players to rethink, not only in the crypto market. Fed chair Powell’s higher rates for a longer period re-pivot raise questions about a widely expected easing of monetary policy.Speech by Chair Powell on the economic outlook @StanfordGSB: https://t.co/y6oLUN0LYwWatch live: https://t.co/a0ApMRHum2— Federal Reserve (@federalreserve) April 3, 2024To Bid, or Not to BidAs the halving cycles come and go, the impact of these events could lessen in time. Since most bitcoins have already been mined, the current market liquidity state is much more about the existing supply of BTC on the market than newly mined coins.A supply crunch overnight is the least likely event, and if very recent history is any guide, geopolitical tensions can create more volatility or liquidity waves on cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets.Guided by risk-on and risk-off flows, cryptocurrencies have been defying the trend occasionally, but at their core[…]

Toncoin Price Jumps 17% As Tether Widens Payment Choices On Telegram’s TON Network

Apr 19, 2024 | 09:00 am

Tether, the company behind the largest stablecoin in the market, USDT, has made a significant expansion move that has propelled the Toncoin price, the native token of The Open Network (TON), by 17% in the past 24 hours. Tether Expands Reach To 15 Blockchains On Friday, Tether announced the launch of its USDT dollar-pegged token and Tether Gold (XAUT), a gold-backed digital token, on The Open Network. This development marks a significant move for Tether, expanding its presence to 15 blockchains. The integration of TON with Telegram, which boasts over 900 million global users, is expected to provide a “seamless and borderless” experience for peer-to-peer (P2P) payments within Telegram’s user base. With the introduction of USDT and XAUT on TON, Tether aims to facilitate the easy transfer of value between users in the TON ecosystem and other blockchain networks while increasing the transfer speed and reducing costs. Related Reading: Analyst Forecast: Litecoin Poised For $250-$300, But Can It Hold? Paolo Ardoino, CEO at Tether, expressed excitement about the launch, emphasizing their support for The Open Network’s vision of an open and “decentralized internet.” Ardoino stated: We’re excited to bring USD₮ and XAU₮ to The Open Network because we support its vision of an open and decentralized internet and a borderless financial system. The launch of USD₮ and XAU₮ on TON will allow seamless value transfer, increasing activity and liquidity while offering users a financial experience that can match those found in the traditional financial system. This furthers our mission of powering open financial infrastructure across the blockchain space. 11 Million TON Tokens To Drive Adoption Of USDT, XAUT Meanwhile, The Open Network claims to “revolutionize” global peer-to-peer payments, allowing Telegram users to send money instantly without needing a blockchain address or downloading a new app. Notably, USDT on TON will be complemented by fully integrated on-ramps supporting most fiat currencies globally. Additionally, integrated global off-ramps will facilitate users’ withdrawal of supported fiat currencies directly to their bank accounts or cards. The TON Foundation has allocated 11 million TON tokens as incentives to drive adoption. Five million TON will be utilized to boost rewards in USDT/TON liquidity pools across TON decentralized exchanges (DEXes) like StonFi and Dedust. Another 5 million TON will be distributed to users who deposit USDT to the Earn campaign of Telegram’s wallet. Furthermore, withdrawals to TON from supporting exchanges such as OKEx, Bybit, and KuCoin will be free for all users until the end of June 2024. Related Reading: Bitcoin Halving Could Catalyzed $100,000 Price Surge: Bitwise CEO Ultimately, the introduction of USDT and XAUT on TON, coupled with the incentives provided, is expected to accelerate the adoption of TON and establish it as a “faster, easier and more cost-effective” cross-border payment system compared to traditional financial services, according to The Open Network’s announcement. Toncoin Price Rallies Following the disclosure of the partnership, the Toncoin price surged, reaching a high of $8.02 on Friday. This marked the end of a sharp decline over the past week since the token achieved its all-time high (ATH) of $8.79 on April 11. After reaching the new ATH, the Toncoin price dropped to a low of $5.42 on Saturday, April 13. However, with the recent partnership announcement, the Toncoin price has regained its bullish momentum and is currently trading at $6.59. It aims to surpass the price resistance level of $7.70, which will pave the way for reaching and surpassing the $8 mark. This would provide a favorable trajectory for the Toncoin price to conquer and exceed its current ATH. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto Expert Predicts A Narrative Shift Post-Bitcoin Halving

Apr 19, 2024 | 08:00 am

Crypto expert Michaël van de Poppe has provided insights into what to expect when the Bitcoin halving occurs on April 19. As part of his analysis, van de Poppe suggested that the attention might shift from Bitcoin once the event occurs. A Narrative Shift To Occur Post-Halving Van de Poppe mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that narratives will change as the halving event approaches but failed to specify what the new narrative will be when this happens. However, in a previous X post, the crypto expert laid out some of his expectations for the crypto market going forward, which included what he expected the new narrative to be. Related Reading: XRP Whales Are On The Move Again, But Are They Bullish Or Bearish? According to Van de Poppe, the narrative will shift to Ethereum (ETH) and projects that are focused on Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) and Real World Assets (RWA). These sectors, along with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and meme coins, have been projected to be among the leading narratives in this bull run. Meanwhile, the crypto expert, who has so far continued to state that altcoins are greatly undervalued, expects these crypto tokens to bounce “in their Bitcoin pairs” once the hype around the halving is over. Furthermore, Van de Poppe mentioned that altcoins will show bullish strength from this second quarter until the summer after which a correction will come in the third quarter of the year. Before now, the crypto expert listed ten altcoins he believes could make the most price gains when the altcoin season begins in full force. These tokens include Chainlink (LINK), Celestia (TIA), Arbitrum (ARB), Polkadot (DOT), Cosmos (ATOM), DYDX (DYDX), WooNetwork (WOO), Sei (SEI), Skale Network (SKL), and Covalent (CQT). Expectations For Bitcoin In the short term, Van de Poppe expects Bitcoin to experience a relief bounce to around $70,000. However, he didn’t sound so bullish about the flagship crypto’s long-term trajectory, predicting that Bitcoin will face a period of consolidation that he doesn’t expect to change in the “coming months.” In another X post, he said, “It’s a waiting game on Bitcoin currently, as momentum is relatively gone.” He added that he expects Bitcoin to continue “the retracement and consolidation,” while altcoins will bounce up in their BTC pairs during this period. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts Cardano Rally To $3 As Price Reaches ‘Ultimate Support Test’ This predicted consolidation period looks to be the re-accumulation phase in the stages of Bitcoin halving, which crypto analyst Rekt Capital once referred to. Elaborating on what this period is like, Rekt Capital stated back then that many investors get “shaken out in this stage due to boredom, impatience, and disappointment with lack of major results in their BTC investment in the immediate aftermath of the Halving.” Once this period is over, Bitcoin is expected to make its “parabolic uptrend,” a phase that Rekt Capital noted historically lasts just over a year. In line with this, it is worth noting that most of Bitcoin’s price gains usually come between six months to a year after the Bitcoin halving has occurred.

Bitcoin Halving Could Catalyzed $100,000 Price Surge: Bitwise CEO

Apr 19, 2024 | 07:00 am

As the cryptocurrency community excitedly awaits the impending Bitcoin halving, Bitwise Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Hunter Horsley has weighed in on its impact on BTC, predicting that the event could potentially propel prices to $100,000 or even higher. Horsley expressed his optimistic outlook toward the upcoming Bitcoin Halving on the X (formerly Twitter) platform. Every four years, the Halving has historically been linked to greater price increases, and Horsley’s upbeat view indicates that this cycle might be no different from the others. Upcoming Bitcoin Halving Is Being Underestimated According to the CEO, the much-anticipated event is presently being significantly underestimated in the crypto space. He claims that the market has never priced in it in the past, and it will not be priced in this time either, expressing his confidence toward the occasion. Related Reading: Bitwise CEO Predicts $11 Billion Drop In Bitcoin Supply Post Halving Horsley highlighted the historical relevance and transformative implications of these occurrences, drawing comparisons with past Halvings and citing the notable profits that investors achieved in 2020, 2016, and 2012. He stated that following months of debate by investors on whether the previous three halvings were priced in, Bitcoin grew by 5.4x, 2.8x, and 88x, respectively. Given the past price developments, the Bitwise CEO anticipates this Halving to serve as a catalyst for the $100,000 target for BTC. Horsley’s prediction seems very reasonable since the figure is just about a 47% increase from the digital asset’s current price. It is worth noting that the opinions of fully deployed current holders are not used to measure the impact of the Halving. Rather, it depends on whether there will be a significant and sustained increase in demand in addition to the daily decrease in the supply of natural sellers. In all, the Bitwise CEO foresees a steady growth in demand along with the conditions for a substantial Halving event this year. As investors prepare for the possible impact of this historic occasion on Bitcoin’s price trajectory, this audacious prognosis highlights the possibility of massive price increases not only in BTC but the entire cryptocurrency market. BTC Move Into No Man’s Land With the Halving less than 24 hours away, Cold Blooded Shiller, a cryptocurrency analyst, has reported that Bitcoin has entered No Man’s Land. “There are some interesting discussion points on BTC right now, but we have just entered No Man’s Land,” he stated. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners Always Sell Into Halvings, Is This Time Any Different? According to Shiller, until one of the two green zones highlighted in his chart is contacted, he believes the price action is far more unpredictable. Nonetheless, there are some interesting links here for former price action and Relative Strength Index (RSI). The analyst claimed the RSI is currently resetting on the Higher Time Frame (HTF), and the last time it occurred was back in January, following a similar breakdown from consolidation seen now. While Shiller does not think the results will be the same this time, it’s quite reasonable if no recovery happens due to this degree of loss. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

The Next Dogecoin? Top Trader Points To This Memecoin

Apr 19, 2024 | 04:30 am

Crypto trading sensation Ansem, known on X (formerly Twitter) as @blknoiz06, has directed the market’s gaze towards the Bitcoin Runes ecosystem, labeling it as the nascent grounds for the next 100x crypto opportunity, as NewsBTC reported yesterday. Ansem, whose prowess is well-documented through his previous astronomical gains of 170x on Solana (SOL), 520x on dogwifhat (WIF), and 80x on Bonk (BONK), stirred the crypto community with his recent Dogecoin comparison. On the cusp of Bitcoin’s highly anticipated halving today, Ansem doubled down on his initial assessment, particularly highlighting two tokens within the Bitcoin Runes ecosystem: Bitcoin Wizards (WZRD) and PUPS. He equates WZRD with Dogecoin, suggesting it has the potential to mirror Dogecoin’s viral success. In contrast, he compares PUPS to the lesser-known but highly profitable dogwifhat (WIF). Related Reading: Elon Musk Latest Tweet: How Much Did Dogecoin Gain From It Today? In a tweet that caught the eye of both investors and enthusiasts, Ansem elaborated on his reasoning behind the picks, stating: Great thread, been saying, I believe Runes are next asymmetric 100x opp in crypto. The meme that got DOGE founder interested in Bitcoin & the phrase magic internet money is still used today – representative of bitcoin culture. DOGE equivalent = WZRD, WIF equivalent = PUPS. Ansem references a thread on X by Immutable Edge (@ImmutableSOL), who delved into the historical and cultural significance of the “Magic Internet Money” meme, originally sparked by mavensbot’s viral Reddit ad. The “Magic Internet Money” meme dates back to February 18, 2013, when mavensbot, a digital artist, submitted a hand-drawn depiction of a blue wizard to promote Bitcoin on Reddit. This ad, created during Bitcoin’s early adoption phase, was crucial in cultivating a cultural ethos around Bitcoin. It resonated deeply within the community, encapsulating the whimsical yet revolutionary nature of Bitcoin’s rise. The ad’s simplicity and authenticity resonated with the Reddit community, propelling Bitcoin from a niche internet experiment to a major financial phenomenon. Within weeks of the ad’s debut, Bitcoin’s value surged from $27 to a record high of $1,132 by November 2013. Related Reading: Dogecoin Flashes Weekly Golden Cross: Why This Analyst Believes The Bull Rally Is Far From Over Bitcoin Wizards, one of the highlighted tokens, aims to rekindle this original spirit. The token leverages the iconic imagery and cultural narrative of the “Magic Internet Money” meme to foster a new wave of interest and adoption. The creators of WZRD are not only paying homage to Bitcoin’s roots but are also embedding this storied meme within the mechanics of a modern cryptocurrency, aiming to capture both nostalgia and innovation. The Bitcoin Wizards project is part of the broader Bitcoin Runes ecosystem, which reached a lot of hype prior to its launch. According to Ansem, WZRD’s history and deep roots in memes give it the perfect ingredients to become the next Dogecoin, just on Bitcoin Runes. Moreover, the analyst assessment comes at a critical time for the crypto market, which is often influenced by the narratives that capture the community’s imagination. As the Bitcoin halving event unfolds, many eyes will be on the Bitcoin Runes ecosystem to see if it can indeed replicate the meteoric rises seen in BRC-20 tokens and Ordinals. At press time, WZRD traded at $12.15, up 70% in the last 24 hours. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin Set To Soar To $200,000 Post-Halving: Skybridge Founder

Apr 19, 2024 | 01:10 am

In a recent interview on the future of Bitcoin, Anthony Scaramucci, the founder and managing partner of Skybridge Capital, has made a compelling prediction that the Bitcoin price could potentially reach $200,000 following its forthcoming halving event. This forecast comes at a time of considerable volatility within the crypto markets, exacerbated by recent geopolitical tensions and broader economic uncertainty. Bitcoin Poised To Hit $200,000 During the interview, Scaramucci provided insights into the forces he believes will drive Bitcoin’s price in the coming months. “Well, I mean, look, you could get shocks like wars and you could get, you know, God forbid a terrorist calamity or something like that that could take Bitcoin down 10 or 15%,” he explained. Despite potential short-term setbacks, Scaramucci emphasized the underlying demand dynamics bolstering Bitcoin’s price, particularly highlighting the influence of new financial products like ETFs and the growing interest from institutional investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners Always Sell Into Halvings, Is This Time Any Different? He elaborated on his bullish outlook, linking it to the anticipated Bitcoin halving, an event that historically impacts the supply side of Bitcoin economics by reducing the reward for mining new blocks, thereby constraining supply. “But long term with the halving coming this week, I think this thing trades to $170,000, possibly to $200,000,” Scaramucci asserted. The discussion also veered into the broader implications of Bitcoin’s integration into traditional financial products, such as ETFs. Scaramucci argued that these instruments play a critical role in broadening Bitcoin’s investor base. He dismissed concerns over the potential for ETFs to lead to centralization of Bitcoin ownership. “In terms of adoption vis-a-vis the ETF, you look out your four-year time horizon. […] It will still be less than 10 % of the overall ownership of Bitcoin. So this whole notion that the ETFs are gonna overly centralize Bitcoin, I don’t buy it. I think what the ETFs are, though, is they’re a great conduit for people that are used to buying them.” BTC Is Still In The Web 1.0 Era Scaramucci compared Bitcoin’s trajectory to the early internet era, particularly drawing parallels with significant tech stocks like Amazon during the dot-com bubble. “In 1999, Amazon was an emerging stock on an emerging technology, and it was quite volatile. And you lost 20 to 50 % eight times on Amazon. You lost 80%. Yeah, that one time in March of 2020, it went down 80%. But if you held Amazon over that period of time, $10,000 is worth a little over $14 million today.” Related Reading: No Fed Rate Cuts? No Worries For Bitcoin, Says Research Firm He also addressed concerns about Bitcoin’s practical uses, contrasting its current utility with more traditional assets like gold, which also do not offer direct cash flow. Scaramucci highlighted innovative financial practices within the crypto ecosystem that provide returns similar to traditional cash flow, such as yield-generating accounts and borrowing agreements available through platforms like Galaxy Digital. Regarding potential market downturns akin to the dot-com bust, Scaramucci acknowledged the risks but remained optimistic about Bitcoin’s resilience and long-term value proposition. “I think if we go through a dot-com bust in the broader market in the next year or two, I think you’ll have a price shock in Bitcoin consistent with a dot-com bust. However, if you’re willing to hold that asset, which we are over a rolling four-year period of time, no one has ever lost money in Bitcoin,” he noted, underscoring the importance of a long-term investment horizon. At press time, the BTC price rallied back above $64,000. Featured image from Bloomberg, chart from TradingView.com

Mango Markets’ Manipulator Faces up to 20 Years in Jail after Jury Conviction

Apr 18, 2024 | 23:22 pm

A federal jury in New York yesterday (Thursday) convicted Avraham 'Avi' Eisenberg, a crypto trader, for fraud and market manipulation in carrying out a $110 million heist from the decentralized cryptocurrency exchange Mango Markets. It was the first conviction in a cryptocurrency market manipulation case.Jail Time AheadHe is now facing substantial prison time: the commodities fraud count and the commodities manipulation count against him each carry a maximum imprisonment of 10 years, while the count of wire fraud carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years. His sentencing is scheduled for July 29.“This ground-breaking prosecution epitomizes this office’s ability to employ innovative methods and cutting-edge law enforcement tools to continue to protect all financial markets,” US Attorney Damian Williams said.A $110 Million HeistIn October 2022, Eisenberg used two accounts to sell a large number of perpetual contracts of Mango’s crypto token MNGO from one of his accounts to the other, thus artificially inflating the price by 1,300 percent in under an hour. He then used the token as collateral to borrow $110 million in other cryptocurrencies from Mango Markets and quickly withdrew the funds. In doing so, he essentially withdrew all the cryptocurrencies deposited on the DeFi platform.Later, he negotiated a settlement with Mango Markets and agreed to return $67 million to the decentralized autonomous organization governing the protocol. He was arrested in December 2022 in Puerto Rico.In court, the defense lawyers tried to convince the jury that Eisenberg’s trades on Mango Markets were “successful and legal” and “fully complied” with the decentralized protocol’s scant rules. However, the jury sided with the prosecutors' portrayal of it as a “brazen” fraud and manipulation.The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission also brought civil fraud and market manipulation charges against Eisenberg.“Manipulative trading puts our financial markets and investors at risk,” the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Nicole Argentieri, said. “This prosecution, the first involving the manipulation of cryptocurrency through open-market trades, demonstrates the Criminal Division’s commitment to protecting U.S. financial markets and holding wrongdoers accountable, no matter what mechanism they use to commit manipulation and fraud.” This article was written by Arnab Shome at www.financemagnates.com.

Kraken Acquires TradeStation Crypto

Apr 18, 2024 | 22:23 pm

The crypto exchange Kraken has acquired TradeStation Crypto, the digital asset-focused division of online brokerage TradeStation, to support its expansion efforts in the United States, Coindesk reported.However, the closing date of the acquisition and other details remain unclear as neither company has announced anything officially. The financials of the deal have not been revealed.Kraken’s Push in the US“We can confirm Kraken has recently purchased TradeStation's crypto business,” a Kraken spokesperson wrote in an email confirming the acquisition to the crypto-focused publication. “This transaction is part of our efforts to accelerate our US presence and will support further growth and new product opportunities for Kraken in the US.”Indeed, Florida-based TradeStation Crypto holds money transmitter licenses in 47 states in the US, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico, according to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Center’s database. These licenses are necessary for running crypto exchange operations and registrar businesses in compliance with federal laws in the US.A Global Expansion PlanHeadquartered in San Francisco, Kraken is focused on its expansion, both domestically and internationally. In Europe, the exchange recently obtained multiple licenses, including regulatory approval in Spain and Ireland. Furthermore, the American exchange acquired BCM, a Dutch crypto exchange, late last year to expand its presence in continental Europe.Recently, Kraken expanded its services with the launch of a self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet. The exchange also offers a dedicated platform to its institutional clients, along with custodial solutions.Meanwhile, Kraken is facing regulatory backlash. The US securities regulator has charged the exchange with illegally operating an unregistered securities exchange, broker, dealer, and clearing agency, and with mixing customers’ money and crypto assets with its own.Interestingly, TradeStation Crypto settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year by paying $1.5 million for offering crypto lending products, which were categorised as unregistered securities.

JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon Renews Attack on Bitcoin, Calls It "Fraud"

Apr 18, 2024 | 12:52 pm

Jamie Dimon recently affirmed his longstanding stance against Bitcoin. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, the CEO of JPMorgan labeled the leading digital asset a "fraud" and "Ponzi Scheme." According to Dimon, Bitcoin lacks the fundamental qualities necessary to function as a currency. Dimon Labels Bitcoin "Ponzi Scheme""Crypto, if you mean crypto like Bitcoin, I've always said it's a fraud. If they think there is a currency, there's no hope for it. It's a Ponzi scheme, it is a public decentralized Ponzi scheme," Dimon mentioned. He dismissed Bitcoin as merely a speculative asset, saying those who view it as a legitimate form of money are misguided.Despite acknowledging Bitcoin's role in modern financial markets, Dimon does not believe that the token has the potential to function as a currency. Throughout the years, he has consistently expressed skepticism about Bitcoin, citing concerns about volatility and the lack of regulation. Despite the growing acceptance of the asset by mainstream institutions, Dimon's stance has not changed.JUST IN: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says #Bitcoin is a fraud and a ponzi scheme.JPMorgan is an authorized participant for BlackRock's Spot Bitcoin ETF. pic.twitter.com/4tpjkaZ0TV— Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) April 18, 2024In January, while speaking during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Dimon said that he was officially done discussing Bitcoin.

Tokenizing Real-World Assets Redefines Financial Inclusivity: A $16 Trillion Outlook

Apr 18, 2024 | 07:26 am

We are standing on the cusp of a new era when digital and traditional finance converge to create social and economic transformation. Where barriers to entry once stood, technological advancements are making it possible for anyone to access wealth-creation opportunities that were once the domain of the elite few. At the forefront of this transformation is the emergence of tokens, specifically those that represent real-world assets, such as stocks, bonds, real estate and others. By reimagining ownership and trading of assets, tokenization is unlocking doors to financial opportunities previously out of reach to many. This shift is not just altering market dynamics, it's laying the foundation for a more equitable and accessible financial future when empowerment and freedom aren't just ideals but tangible realities.Investing in Appreciating Assets - an Economic NecessityThe ability to invest capital into assets, instead of holding cash, is not a luxury but a necessity for every household looking to survive and thrive. Holding cash, often perceived as a safe bet, is a silent thief eroded by the relentless march of inflation. Consider this, $100 in 2004, sitting idly, would have the purchasing power of merely $60 today. Contrast this, with the dynamism of the stock market the same amount invested in the S&P 500 over the same period would have quintupled to an impressive $470.Yet, the landscape of stock ownership reveals a stark imbalance. The wealthiest 10% in the US control an overwhelming 93% of stocks, illustrating a deep-seated inequality in financial opportunity and access. This inequality is magnified when looking at sectors like private equity and private credit, where doors often remain closed to everyday investors. Enter Tokenization, the Great EqualizerWhile a distinctly counter-culture ethos characterized the early days of blockchain, it wasn’t long before traditional financial institutions sought to leverage this technology to improve existing financial pipelines. Thus began the race to tokenize the world and empower traditional assets like stock, bonds, and real estate with the benefits of blockchain, such as 24/7/365 trading, fractional ownership, transparency, and programmability.“The most important first step is to get in there and start to engage in the ecosystem”—Sandy Kaul of @FTI_Global.How banks and asset managers can get started with tokenization ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/kG2MdNrUdv— Chainlink (@chainlink) April 17, 2024Yet, perhaps the greatest advantage of the tokenization of traditional asset classes is the ability to encourage retail participation. Take the Republic Note, for example, a digital asset representing the Republic’s private equity portfolio of over 600 companies, including SpaceX, Maven, and Gumroad. All retail investors have to do to gain exposure to the portfolio is sign up for INX.One, the trading platform where the Republic Note trades 24/7/365. Such a privilege was unthinkable in the pre-tokenization era.The Tokenization Market Is HugeThe total addressable market for tokenization is huge, with hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of real-world assets waiting to come on chain. According to Boston Consulting Group, the tokenized asset market is projected to grow to a staggering $16 trillion by 2030. We are still in the early stages of this transformation, with only about 0.03% of the total market size currently captured. At this low level of market penetration, a golden opportunity presents itself to innovative asset managers, institutions, and investors who wish to position themselves on the cusp of a new financial era. #HSBC to Expand Tokenized Asset Offerings — CEO Says He's 'Very Comfortable' With #Tokenization https://t.co/mjFwfPN7Fw— Bitcoin.com News (@BTCTN) April 16, 2024However, navigating this evolving landscape is not without its challenges. Regulatory frameworks vary significantly across the globe, creating a complex mosaic of compliance requirements for asset managers and investors. This inconsistency in regulations poses a considerable hurdle, as entities must adapt and comply with diverse legal standards in different jurisdictions. Despite these challenges, the opportunity presented in the tokenization of real-world assets is too significant to ignore. Innovative asset managers, institutions, and investors looking to capitalize on this shift should collaborate with tokenization leaders to capitalize on this rare chance to be at the forefront of a financial revolution. Towards a Holistic Tokenized FutureTokenzied real-world assets are not growing in a vacuum. Indeed, no single type of digital asset will monopolize this new financial dawn. Rather, the true power of digital assets is unleashed when different forms of digital assets interface with one another. “The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has teamed up with the central banks of France, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States Federal Reserve Banks to explore asset tokenization.”https://t.co/IfCuWBVWAt— Securitize (@Securitize) April 17, 2024Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, tokenized real-world assets, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) emerge as the foundational pillars of this modernized financial landscape. Each serves a unique role and can empower its peers to reach further than they can on their own. For example, enabling investors to purchase stocks, bonds, and real estate with crypto opens up entirely new investment avenues for crypto investors to diversify their holdings. The coexistence is a testament to the fact that financial inclusivity and progress don't demand the dominance of one over the others, but thrive on their mutual support and integration. As we move forward, this triad of digital assets is poised to redefine not just investment and currency, but the very fabric of economic interaction and empowerment.

From $1 Trillion to $2.5 Trillion: Cryptos Boom in Six Months on Institutional Backing

Apr 17, 2024 | 15:00 pm

The cryptocurrency market surged in value from $1 trillion to $2.5 trillion from October 2023 to March 2024. This boost was driven by institutional interest and venture capital funding in the sector. Bybit and Treehouse Finance recently highlighted these findings in a report dubbed the "2024 Institutional Industry Report." The study covered derivatives, challenger chains, and the resurgence of venture capital.Optimism in the Derivatives MarketAccording to the report, there is a positive sentiment in the derivatives market. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exhibited a notable call premium despite the relatively sideways price movement in March, suggesting a bullish sentiment among investors. This outlook hints at the potential for significant price appreciation for these leading cryptocurrencies by the end of the year. BTC's status as a hedge against traditional finance remains robust, with its correlations to major equity indices below 3%.Noteworthy, BTC's negative correlation with equity returns strengthens its role as a diversification tool for equity-focused portfolios. Besides that, challenger chains have garnered renewed interest since Q4 2023, with native tokens outperforming ETH. In particular, Solana is leading the charge, showcasing substantial growth in total value locked and transaction volume. This trend underscores the growing competitiveness in the blockchain ecosystem.Additionally, venture capital funding in the crypto industry has experienced a remarkable resurgence, with deals reaching new highs in Q1 2024. Notable sectors attracting capital, include hardware wallets, blockchain data providers, and gaming projects. This trend signals the diversity in the investment landscape.Crypto Adoption As BTC approaches its fourth halving event, there is speculation about its potential impact on market dynamics. Historical precedents suggest that halving events often coincide with significant price surges. This event marks a pivotal moment for both opportunities and challenges in the crypto space, with institutional interest on the rise and regulatory landscapes evolving.Besides that, Bybit's report highlighted the status of the adoption of digital assets globally. The epicenter of crypto adoption has shifted towards Central and Southeast Asia, with countries like India leading the charge. Grassroots adoption is evident across diverse regions, highlighting the global reach and impact of cryptocurrencies. Despite fluctuations in adoption rates, countries worldwide are experiencing a resilient recovery, underscoring the enduring appeal and potential of crypto in varied economic landscapes.

Bitcoin Halving Countdown: Why It May Not Guarantee Price Surge

Apr 17, 2024 | 10:35 am

The Bitcoin halving, an important event written into the cryptocurrency's code, is two days away. This event, which occurs roughly every four years, reduces the rewards for Bitcoin miners by half. The cryptocurrency community is abuzz with anticipation ahead of the halving, especially given the recent developments, such as the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and improved crypto regulations. Understanding Bitcoin HalvingThe 2024 halving is expected to have an impact throughout the entire financial system as retail investors gain exposure to Bitcoin through ETFs. This could result in increased crypto transactions, trading volume, investment, and speculation in the sector, Finance Magnates reported. According to the countdown by Binance, the Bitcoin halving event will occur in the next two days. Following the halving, miners often experience a significant reduction in revenue. Additionally, the reduction in selling pressure can contribute to increased trading volume and price volatility in the market. Goldman Sachs recently cautioned investors against associating Bitcoin halving with price surges, Coindesk reported. This is because continued price gains rely on strong inflows into spot ETFs and not just the halving.While previous halvings have been followed by price appreciations, Goldman has pointed out that various macroeconomic factors play a significant role. The firm highlighted that the time taken to reach peak values in the past significantly varied. Additionally, the macroeconomic environment during past halvings differed from the current landscape, marked by high inflation and interest rates.Bitcoin ETFs and Market DynamicsSimilarly, Goldman emphasized in a report by Bloomberg the importance of considering other factors, such as the adoption of spot ETFs, in driving Bitcoin's price. The recent rally in BTC prices, fueled by inflows into U.S.-based spot ETFs, indicates that a significant portion of post-halving expectations may have already been priced in.Fred Thiel, the CEO of Marathon Digital Holdings Inc., echoed Goldman's sentiment, suggesting that the success of ETF approvals has accelerated price appreciation typically observed after halvings. However, Thiel acknowledged the potential impact of the halving on Bitcoin's supply dynamics and emphasized miners' optimism towards the event.With #BitcoinHalving just a few hours away, we can expect a volatile market. Best strategy is to either DCA into your favourite coins or just don't touch your bags at all. Things will settle in a couple of days & after some side way action, we will start moving up, especially the… pic.twitter.com/46YEXP57N8— Cryptonic Bull (@Cryptonic_Bull) April 17, 2024Bitcoin CashRecently, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) experienced its own halving. After the event, the cryptocurrency forked from Bitcoin and dropped 15%. According to Coindesk, this has prompted crypto traders to reassess their expectations of an immediate price surge in Bitcoin post-halving.Bitcoin Cash, created in 2017, has historically been viewed as a measure of Bitcoin's market sentiment. Its recent rally, followed by a sharp decline post-halving, conveys caution regarding Bitcoin's upcoming halving.The decline in the price of Bitcoin Cash was accompanied by the collapse in open interest for BCH futures. This trend indicates a shift in market dynamics. Additionally, negative funding rates across major exchanges reportedly underscore a potential unwinding of bullish sentiment. Insights from Analysts and ExpertsThe investment banking giant JPMorgan anticipates a sell-off price of $42,000 once the halving hype subsides. The impending reduction in miners' rewards of 50% could lead to increased selling pressure, potentially impacting Bitcoin's price trajectory in the coming months.Meanwhile, the Grayscale spot Bitcoin ETF (GBTC) recently experienced a significant decline in holdings. According to a report by Cointelegraph, the fund dropped by half from its trading debut in January to 309,871 BTC as of April 16, 2024. Since its inception, GBTC has faced a massive sell-off, significantly impacting Bitcoin prices. The reason attributed to this outflow is the high trading fees, with GBTC initially having the highest fees among US spot Bitcoin ETFs, set at 1.5%. This discrepancy in fees has prompted other ETFs to lower their fees, ranging between 0.2% and 0.4%. In contrast, BlackRock's IBIT offered a competitive fee of 0.25% at launch. Thus, IBIT has experienced an extraordinary surge, increasing holdings by over 10,000% since its debut. Despite the lack of direct correlation, the surge has added to the significant Bitcoin-related events.Bitcoin ETF LandscapeOverall, the collective holdings of the ten spot Bitcoin ETFs approved in the US reached approximately 862,162 BTC, valued at $54.7 billion as of April 16, 2024. While the decline of GBTC and the surge of IBIT dominate headlines, other ETF providers have accumulated significant holdings, contributing to the dynamic landscape of Bitcoin investments.Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining profitability has experienced a significant downturn of 75% over the past three years. According to Stocklytics.com, profitability dropped from March 2021 to March 2024.This trend is attributed to various factors, including the rising costs associated with mining operations and the impact of halving events on miners' rewards. The metric used to measure Bitcoin mining profitability is the hash price, denoted in dollars per terrahash (USD/TH). This metric has been influenced by several factors, including the price of Bitcoin, transaction fees, network complexity, and block subsidies. Despite Bitcoin's price surges in the past, mining profitability has been on a steady decline, with diminishing returns becoming increasingly evident. Bitcoin mining operations face numerous challenges that impact profitability. Energy consumption is a significant concern, with the process consuming vast amounts of electricity annually.

FMA Cracks Down on These Two Companies amid Fraud Concerns in New Zealand

Apr 17, 2024 | 00:12 am

The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) of New Zealand has been actively combating fraudulent activity and scams in the country's financial markets. In a series of recent actions, the regulator has taken steps to protect consumers and maintain market integrity by cancelling one crowdfunding services license and issuing a warning against a cryptocurrency company.FMA Cracks Down on Fraudulent Activity and ScamsAccording to the update on Wednesday, the FMA cancelled the crowdfunding services license of Equitise Pty Ltd, an equity crowdfunding service provider licensed since 2014. The cancellation followed Equitise's significant breach of certain market services licensee obligations and its failure to meet statutory requirements.The company failed to provide its financial reporting and agreed upon procedures reporting, and was deregistered from the Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR) for failing to file its annual confirmation within the required timeframe."Cancelling a provider's licence is one of the strongest regulatory actions we can take and is not a decision the FMA takes lightly,” Peter Taylor, the FMA Director of Specialist Supervision and Response, stated, emphasizing the severity of the action. “Financial service providers must make sure they are able to meet the legislative requirements and act lawfully. The rules are there to protect consumers and to ensure market integrity."In another warning, the FMA cautioned investors about AxonExchange, a suspected cryptocurrency exchange scam. The platform claims to be based in New Zealand but is not an incorporated company in the country and is not authorized or registered on the FSPR to provide financial services.The FMA is concerned that AxonExchange is operating a scam, prompted by an investor's complaint of difficulty withdrawing funds from the platform.Rising Number of Impostors in New ZealandThe regulatory authority in New Zealand has raised concerns about an increase in impostor-related scams, particularly highlighting the rise in fake product disclosure statement frauds. In 2023, there were 82 warnings issued regarding suspected investment scams and impostor websites, as well as 22 warnings concerning unregistered businesses. This marks a significant uptick in efforts to alert the public about these deceptive practices.Additionally, the FMA has reported an emerging trend where scammers impersonate another regulatory body, specifically the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority. These scammers send emails to New Zealand residents claiming they can assist in recovering funds lost in previous scams. According to a report published by the FMA at the end of last year, while the total number of crime warnings decreased to 89 in 2023 from 111 the previous year, there was a noteworthy increase in the number of impostors and imposter websites. The report noted 29 such cases in 2023, a significant rise from previous years when similar cases were isolated and not statistically relevant.

Bitcoin Nears Depletion: Only Nine Months' Supply Ahead of Halving

Apr 16, 2024 | 07:22 am

Cryptocurrency exchanges have only nine months' supply of Bitcoin at current prices, with three days left to Bitcoin halving. According to the latest analysis by Bybit, with just 2 million Bitcoins remaining and a daily inflow of $500 million to spot Bitcoin ETFs, approximately 7,142 Bitcoins will exit exchange reserves daily. Bitcoin Supply Hits Unprecedented ScarcityThe much-anticipated halving event, which reduces the supply of Bitcoins by 50%, is expected to make the digital asset more scarce. Bybit highlighted the rapid reduction of Bitcoin reserves across centralized exchanges post-halving. This trend indicates that it will take about nine months to exhaust all remaining reserves. Ben Joe, the Co-Founder and CEO of Bybit, mentioned: "Each Bitcoin halving sharpens the narrative of Bitcoin as not just a currency, but a scarce digital asset, akin to digital gold. This upcoming halving in 2024 will thrust Bitcoin into an era of unprecedented scarcity, making it twice as rare as gold."The report differentiated between Bitcoin and gold, emphasizing Bitcoin's increasing rarity post-halving. The Stock-to-Flow (S2F) ratio, a measure of scarcity, is projected to double from 56 to 112 after the upcoming halving, surpassing gold's S2F ratio of 60. Institutional Adoption of BitcoinThis comparison solidifies Bitcoin's status as a scarce digital asset, positioning it as a viable alternative to traditional safe havens like gold. Additionally, Bybit highlighted the adoption of Bitcoin by institutional investors following the recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US. This trend indicates that institutions have recognized the importance of the digital asset as a safe investment option. This has led to heightened investment activity ahead of the halving. The correlation between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remains strong, further boosting Bitcoin's reputation.Bitcoin's deflationary model is based on the halving event, which occurs roughly every four years, Finance Magnates recently reported. This mechanism halves the block reward, limiting the supply of the leading digital asset. As the upcoming halving approaches, reducing the block reward from 6.25 Bitcoins to 3.125 Bitcoins, historical trends suggest a potential surge in the price of Bitcoin.Additionally, analysts anticipate a modest decrease in Bitcoin mining hashrate after the halving, attributed to current high profitability and efficient mining equipment adoption. Despite short-term dips, the resilience of the mining industry is expected to drive a swift rebound.Meanwhile, the renowned author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," Robert Kiyosaki, recently expressed optimism about Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by September due to concerns over global economic instability and debt issues. While market analysts project a potential surge in Bitcoin, concerns linger about selling pressure and potential price slumps during the halving period.

Another Extension: CySEC Suspends FTX EU’s License until September

Apr 16, 2024 | 01:48 am

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has yet again extended the suspension of the license of FTX (EU) Ltd, the locally regulated subsidiary of the now-collapsed cryptocurrency exchange.The Suspension of FTX’s EU LicenseAnnounced today (Tuesday), the latest license suspension will last until 30 September 2024. The license of the EU unit of FTX was originally suspended in November 2022. Since then, the regulator has extended the suspension multiple times.The European entity of FTX initially gained approval from the Cyprus regulator last March and obtained full authorization as a CIF in September. Though the Cypriot license did not allow the exchange to offer crypto directly, it could provide derivative products. Additionally, the license was essential as the exchange can passport it to provide services within the entire European Economic Area.Although FTX EU is already undergoing bankruptcy proceedings, the Cypriot regulatory notice highlighted that, as long as the license is suspended, the exchange cannot “provide/carry out investment services/activities, enter into any business transaction with any person, and accept any new client; nor advertise itself as a provider of investment services.”Fall of a Crypto EmpireFTX and over a hundred of its affiliates filed for bankruptcy in November 2022 in the United States, days after the shady business practices of its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, surfaced. Bankman-Fried, once recognized as a crypto billionaire, was convicted of multiple criminal charges and has been sentenced to jail for 25 years. Last week, the lawyers of Bankman-Fried appealed against the sentencing and conviction.Multiple other top bosses of FTX and its affiliate, Alameda Research, pleaded guilty to civil and criminal charges and are now awaiting sentencing. All of them testified against Bankman-Fried in the trial.Meanwhile, two US senators, Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Grassley, recently demanded a full accounting of the interactions between the Chairman of the CFTC, Rostin Behnam, and Bankman-Fried, concerning the nature of their relationship before the collapse of the crypto exchange.

Senators Grill CFTC Boss on Sketchy Links to FTX’s Fallen Star Sam Bankman-Fried

Apr 16, 2024 | 00:28 am

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Grassley demand a full accounting of the interactions between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Chairman, Rostin Behnam, and Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the convicted founder of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX. Commentators wonder if this will allow the public to discover what might have happened between the regulator and SBF just before the exchange's collapse.Senators Demand Answers from CFTC's Chair on Ties to Disgraced FTX's FounderIn a letter sent to Behnam on Monday, the senators expressed concern about the nature of the relationship between CFTC's Chair and Bankman-Fried in the months leading up to FTX's implosion in November 2022. The lawmakers are seeking records of all meetings, phone calls, and correspondence between the two parties by 29 April."Safeguarding the savings and retirements of Americans requires Congress and market regulators like the CFTC to determine how this multi-billion-dollar crime was allowed to happen," Warren and Grassley wrote in the letter.Behnam previously testified before the Senate Agriculture Committee that he and his team met with Bankman-Fried and other FTX executives roughly 10 times in the 14 months before the exchange's bankruptcy. He also disclosed exchanging "a number of messages" with the CEO.Are we about to get hidden info on what happened between the government and #FTX before the collapse? Senators Elizabeth Warren and Charles Grassley wrote a letter to the chairman of the CFTC, Rostin Behnam, regarding his interactions with #SBF before the FTX collapse They… pic.twitter.com/k9hsXW4N7d— The O Show (Wendyo.eth) (@The_O_Show_) April 16, 2024The senators' request comes on the heels of Bankman-Fried's sentencing last month to 25 years in prison for orchestrating massive fraud that led to the loss of billions in customer funds. Last week, he appealed his conviction.Despite the severity of the punishment, Warren and Grassley emphasized that victims "will never be made whole financially.”“Mr. Bankman-Fried was sentenced last month to 25 years in prison for stealing $8 billion dollars from users of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX. This punishment, while appropriate, provided cold comfort for his victims,” the senators added.Warren Is Active in the Crypto FieldThe letter marks the latest in a series of inquiries spearheaded by Senator Warren in the wake of FTX's collapse. In November 2022, she and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse urged the Department of Justice to hold Bankman-Fried and complicit executives personally accountable for wrongdoing.Warren also sent letters to Silvergate Bank and to Bankman-Fried himself, seeking answers about their roles in the misappropriation of customer funds.Senator Warren's position on cryptocurrencies has been well-known and consistent for years. In 2021, she described digital assets as "highly opaque and volatile," and in 2023, she made headlines with her proposal for the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act.Finance Magnates contacted the CFTC press office for comment on the matter, but the Commission did not respond at the time of publication.

Hong Kong “Conditionally” Approves Bitcoin and Ether ETFs

Apr 15, 2024 | 22:55 pm

Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission has become the latest regulator to approve the first spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, the approvals of at least three offshore Chinese asset managers remain conditional.‘Conditional’ Approval Crypto ETFsAlthough the regulator confirmed the conditional approval, it did not reveal any details of the ETFs. The regulatory conditions include fee payments, document filings, and approval of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's listing, according to Reuters.Crypto ETFs are listed on stock exchanges and can be traded from regular brokerage accounts without the need to create a crypto exchange account or use custodial services. These investment products lower the entry barrier and complexity of investment into cryptocurrencies.Additionally, the Hong Kong unit of China Asset Management, which has been developing spot Bitcoin and Ether products, received approval to provide virtual asset management services.“The introduction of the virtual asset spot ETFs not only provides investors with new asset allocation opportunities but also reinforces Hong Kong's status as an international financial centre and a hub for virtual assets,” Bosera Asset Management stated.The Rising Demand for CryptoThe conditional approval in Hong Kong followed approximately three months after the US Securities and Exchange Commission approved 11 Bitcoin ETFs in one go. These approvals ensued from prolonged efforts by several companies over the years. However, the US did not approve any Ether ETFs despite the application of multiple firms.While the green light for Bitcoin ETFs in the US triggered a price surge of cryptocurrencies, the latest Hong Kong approval failed to do so. Bitcoin is trading below $63,000 apiece, as of press time, compared to its peak of about $74,000.Other than the US and Hong Kong, spot Bitcoin ETFs are listed on the exchanges in eight additional jurisdictions, including Canada, Germany, Jersey, Switzerland, Australia and three more locations. However, those markets are small, and the demand for these crypto instruments remains low. This article was written by Arnab Shome at www.financemagnates.com.

Norway to Regulate Energy-Intensive Crypto Mining Activities

Apr 15, 2024 | 09:34 am

Norway plans to regulate cryptocurrency mining activities in the country by restricting data centers. Two government officials intend to propose a new law that will bring the data center industry under regulatory oversight for the first time in Norway.According to the media outlet VG, Norway's Digitalization Minister, Karianne Tung, and the Energy Minister, Terje Aasland, mentioned that this initiative is driven by the government's desire to control and limit projects deemed undesirable, such as cryptocurrency mining, which is associated with significant greenhouse gas emissions.Regulating "Unwanted" Crypto ActivitiesNorway will become the first country in Europe to implement comprehensive regulations for data centers, focusing on controlling energy-intensive activities like cryptocurrency mining. The expected regulation requires crypto mining operators to register with local authorities and disclose the services offered.Tung mentioned: “The government requires a registration obligation for who is behind the data center, who is the manager of the center, and an obligation to state which services are offered at the center. The purpose is to regulate the industry in such a way that we can close the door on the projects we do not want.”JUST IN: 🇳🇴 Norway becomes the first country in Europe to introduce regulations for data centers aimed at controlling which projects are permitted.They state #Bitcoin mining “is an example of a type of business we do not want in Norway” 😮 pic.twitter.com/NjmiCdkhc1— Bitcoin News (@BitcoinNewsCom) April 15, 2024By mandating data center operators to disclose their activities, the Norwegian government aims to empower the relevant authorities to approve or reject projects based on their social and environmental impact.Greenhouse Gas Emission ConcernsAasland emphasized the importance of promoting socially beneficial data centers. In Norway, crypto mining is viewed as incompatible with the country's environmental goals. Aasland highlighted concerns about the industry's significant greenhouse gas emissions.He said: “This is incredibly important. It is very important to get a good overview of which services are offered in these data centers. It is the socially useful data center that we want. They are important for infrastructure.”Meanwhile, there are approximately four days until the much anticipated Bitcoin halving event occurs. Due to current high profits in the mining sector, analysts expect a slight drop of 5% to 10% in Bitcoin mining hashrate post-halving, according to a report by Finance Magnates. Some miners are reportedly planning to acquire more efficient equipment or diversify into other sectors after the halving.Meanwhile, Norway licensed BitPanda (a Vienna-based crypto exchange) last year, marking a significant milestone in the exchange’s European expansion efforts. BitPanda has already obtained licenses in Austria, Germany, Czechia, France, and Sweden. Besides that, the company obtained approval in Spain and entered the UK market by acquiring Trustology.

This initiative, spearheaded by UK Finance and supported by EY, aims to establish a common platform for innovation across various forms of currency, including traditional bank deposits and tokenized assets.Participants Join UK RLN for Financial TransformationThe UK RLN is a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders within the financial services industry, seeking to explore avenues for users to conduct payments, transactions, and settle liabilities in the digital market landscape. Noteworthy participants in the UK RLN include institutions, such as Barclays, Citi, HSBC, and others, supported by advisory and technology partners like EY, Linklaters, R3, Quant, DXC Technology, and Coadjute.R3 brings its expertise in delivering sophisticated projects for regulated markets, offering critical shared ledger capabilities through its Corda platform and Digital Currency solution. Quant's role involves facilitating programmability and interoperability across different monetary forms, leveraging its Overledger platform to provide orchestration and API integration.We’re proud to announce that – together with @inside_r3 - we have been selected to produce the technology prototype for the experimentation phase of the UK’s #RegulatedLiabilityNetwork, led by @UKFtweets and supported by @EYnews.#IFGS2024https://t.co/yfGvaRPVkt— Quant (@quant_network) April 15, 2024Global Banks to Test Diverse Payment Use CaseThe project will leverage the insights and experience of major global banks and institutions to test various retail and wholesale payment use cases, encompassing areas, such as delivery vs payment, e-commerce, bond issuance, and card gateway integration. Additionally, the project will incorporate Coadjute’s Home Purchasing Business Application, a property market infrastructure and settlement model built on R3’s Corda platform.“We live in a digital age, in which people and companies expect digital finance to operate globally at speed, with better security and at scale, but our legacy payments and financial infrastructure has not kept up. As the UK seeks a leadership position in financial markets, projects like the RLN highlight the central role that shared ledgers will play in this transition and offer a model we can extend to other markets,” said Gilbert Verdian, the CEO and Founder at Quant.

Bitcoin Halving Countdown: What Is Ahead?

Apr 15, 2024 | 05:38 am

Less than ten days remain until the most important event in the cryptocurrency sector: Bitcoin's halving. This event is expected to have a major impact on the sector due to recent developments surrounding the leading digital asset. Some of these developments include the emergence of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the evolving regulations for digital assets.How Bitcoin Halving WorksBitcoin's deflationary model depends on the upcoming halving event, which occurs approximately every four years. This process reduces the block reward by half, limiting the supply of new tokens. With each halving, the number of Bitcoins in circulation becomes scarce.The impending halving will reduce the block reward from 6.25 Bitcoins to 3.125 Bitcoins. Historically, halving events have led to a surge in the price of Bitcoin. Additionally, the anticipation preceding the event often triggers heightened trading activity and price volatility. According to Binance's countdown, there are four days left before the halving event, although it is difficult to predict the exact date.Bitcoin's Hashrate ResilienceAccording to a report by Coindesk, analysts predict a modest decrease of between 5% and 10% in Bitcoin mining hashrate after the halving event. This is attributed to the current high profitability in mining and the rapid adoption of efficient mining equipment. Despite short-term dips, the hashrate is expected to swiftly rebound, reflecting the resilience of the industry. Miners using high-cost equipment are under pressure to upgrade to more efficient models to maintain profitability. The introduction of newer and more energy-efficient machines will necessitate a shift in strategy. Thus, it is important for miners to adapt to the evolving market dynamics. Some miners are reportedly considering diversifying into other sectors, reflecting the competitive nature of the mining industry. Additionally, there's a trend towards geographical decentralization, with miners exploring new, cost-efficient locations for mining operations. The impact of the Bitcoin halving is beyond price movements, transaction volumes, market sentiment, and investment trends.Mining Sector: Preparing for the 2024 HalvingHalving brings opportunities and challenges to crypto exchanges. The reduced supply of new Bitcoins could result in increased demand for crypto assets and lead to bullish sentiment and price volatility. However, crypto exchanges must ensure sufficient liquidity to accommodate heightened trading activity, optimize trading algorithms, and keep users informed about market disruptions.As the 2024 halving approaches, investors should monitor important metrics such as on-chain activity, exchange withdrawals and deposits, and ETF inflows. These indicators provide insights into market sentiment and the trajectory of Bitcoin's price movements.Market PredictionsRecently, the renowned author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," Robert Kiyosaki, made an optimistic prediction about the future price of Bitcoin. According to Kiyosaki, Bitcoin could reach $100,000 by September. Kiyosaki's forecast came amidst global economic instability and concerns over mounting debt issues, particularly in the United States, China, Japan, and Germany.Kiyosaki's bullish outlook on Bitcoin is expressed in his analysis of the current global economic landscape. He highlighted various factors contributing to financial instability, including the United States' massive debt burden, China's troubled property market, and economic challenges faced by Japan as well as Germany. Moreover, Kiyosaki highlighted concerns, such as consumer reliance on credit cards, the precarious state of banks, and the looming global conflicts. In his view, these economic challenges underscore the need for alternative investment strategies.I am buying 10 more Bitcoin before April. Why? The “Having.” If you can’t afford a whole Bitcoin you may want to consider buying 1/10 of a coin, via the new ETFs or Satoshi’s.If the Bitcoin process works as designed you may own a whole Bitcoin by the end of this year. I…— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) March 25, 2024Minimal Impact on Bitcoin PriceDespite the anticipation, the impact of Bitcoin halving on prices may be minimal due to already low issuance rates. While the event may stimulate increased demand and media attention, its effect on supply dynamics is diminishing, suggesting a modest relationship between halving events and market trends.Meanwhile, a report by Cointelegraph highlighted that market analysts are increasingly optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term trajectory. Bitcoin's current price, currently above $66,000, has attracted bullish predictions. Analysts are projecting a potential surge of over 160% to reach a peak surpassing $150,000.Despite this optimism, there are concerns about built-up selling pressure attributed to Bitcoin's recent all-time high before the halving. Arthur Hayes, the Co-Founder of BitMEX, has warned of a potential price slump during the halving period due to the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening measures. However, amidst these uncertainties, the role of Bitcoin ETFs in driving the cryptocurrency's price rally cannot be understated. These ETFs have amassed a significant portion of Bitcoin's circulating supply, with recent data indicating substantial net inflows.

Minister Reveals When the UK Will Introduce New Cryptocurrency Regulation

Apr 15, 2024 | 04:06 am

The United Kingdom is gearing up to introduce new legislation for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins by June or July 2024, according to the Economic Secretary, Bim Afolami. Speaking at the Innovate Finance Global Summit on Monday, Afolami stated that the government is working swiftly to deliver the legislation that will put the final proposals for the crypto regulatory regime in place.UK Set to Introduce New Crypto and Stablecoin Regulations by Mid-2024"We are now working at pace to deliver the legislation to put our final proposals for our regime in place," Afolami said during the Innovate Finance Global Summit.The announcement comes after the UK passed the Financial Services and Markets Act in June 2023, which enabled cryptocurrencies to be treated as regulated financial activities.“Once it goes live, a whole host of crypto asset activities, including operating an exchange, taking custody of customers’ assets and other things, will come within the regulatory perimeter for the first time,” the Economic Secretary added.JUST IN: UK plans to unveil new crypto and stablecoin regulations by July, announces government minister. 🇬🇧💼 #UK #CryptoRegulation— Breaking Whale (@BreakingWhale) April 15, 2024The government has expressed its intention to make the UK a preferred destination for the crypto industry and plans to bring relevant activities under the purview of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). In the meantime, new regulations concerning the promotion of digital assets have come into effect in the country.“While it remains to be seen exactly what new regulation may look like and how it will be enforced, it’s inevitable that the future of crypto lies within far more regulated and supervised parameters,” Duncan Ash, the Head of Strategy at blockchain protection firm Coincover commented in an op-ed article for Finance Magnates.Regulatory Winds of ChangeUnder the new regulations, a wide range of crypto asset activities will fall within the regulatory perimeter for the first time, including operating an exchange, custodial services, and other related activities. The FCA will soon consult on an authorization regime for crypto companies, and the government also plans to formulate equivalence measures for overseas firms.The UK government has taken a phased approach to introducing crypto regulations, with legislation for fiat-backed stablecoins being the first priority. Other areas, such as algorithmic stablecoins, will follow as the government brings activities like lending and trading into the fold of conventional financial regulation.Despite the government's efforts to create a crypto-friendly environment, the UK industry has faced some challenges. Crypto firms have complained about delays and poor feedback from the FCA, and recently introduced rules restricting crypto promotions have led some well-known firms to cut UK services altogether. According to data from February 2024, the market watchdog issued over 450 alerts on illegal crypto ads in just three months.In Europe, Poland is additionally preparing to regulate cryptocurrencies later this year. Under new laws, the local financial supervisory authority, KNF, will be allowed to block the cryptocurrencies of companies and users for 96 hours in cases of mere suspicion of unregulated trading.
