🚀 AFME Proposes Policy Changes For DLT And Tokenization In Europe
#AFME #DLT #Tokenization #Europe #CSDR #CryptoAssets #FinancialMarkets #Regulation #Securities #SettlementRisk #SmartContracts #CentralBankCollateral
According to Odaily, the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) has outlined its vision and policy recommendations for distributed ledger technology (DLT) and tokenization in Europe. This initiative responds to the European Union's Capital Markets Council FISMA's call for input. The document presents several proposals aimed at addressing key issues hindering the development of tokenization within the EU.
One significant recommendation concerns the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR), which governs the operations of Central Securities Depositories (CSDs). Currently, CSDs perform essential functions such as issuing securities, acting as record keepers, and providing settlement infrastructure. DLT, however, can offer record-keeping capabilities, and smart contracts can automate functions like interest or dividend payments. Additionally, DLT supports delivery versus payment, potentially eliminating settlement risk without the need for a centralized counterparty (CCP).
AFME argues that the current CSDR framework is incompatible with tokenization due to its separation from DLT roles. The association suggests the need for a new regulatory regime, akin to the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) for crypto assets. However, these changes are considered part of a mid-term strategy, as even if regulators begin drafting regulations now, they are unlikely to be implemented before 2029.
Furthermore, AFME believes that the requirement to register as a CSD is overly burdensome. Many banks are interested in providing DLT securities services (SS) but are reluctant to become CSDs. The DLT pilot regime currently imposes low caps on activities, which are unattractive to large entities. Therefore, AFME recommends raising these caps and hopes that securities issued under this regime will qualify as central bank collateral.#AFME #DLT #Tokenization #Europe #CSDR #CryptoAssets #FinancialMarkets #Regulation #Securities #SettlementRisk #SmartContracts #CentralBankCollateral
🚀 Russell Okung's Bitcoin Investment Could Be Worth Millions
#RussellOkung #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Investment #AthleteInvestors #FinancialStrategy #Wealth #EconomicIndependence #StickToSpaceElon #CryptoGrowth #BTC
According to Decrypt, former Carolina Panthers player Russell Okung made headlines in December 2020 when he decided to receive half of his $13 million salary in Bitcoin, amounting to approximately $6.5 million. At that time, Bitcoin was valued at around $27,000. Fast forward to the present, and the cryptocurrency's value has surged to $87,803, potentially increasing Okung's Bitcoin holdings to over $20.9 million.
In May 2021, despite a decline in Bitcoin's value, Okung expressed unwavering confidence in his investment, stating on Twitter that he had no intention of selling his Bitcoin. Since then, he has not publicly disclosed any changes to his investment strategy. Decrypt has reached out to Okung for comments on his current stance.
Okung's decision to invest in Bitcoin was driven by his belief in the power of money beyond its role as currency. He viewed Bitcoin as a means to opt out of what he described as a corrupt and manipulated economy. In 2021, he defended Bitcoin against criticisms from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who had raised concerns about the cryptocurrency's environmental impact. Okung launched the "Stick to Space, Elon" campaign, emphasizing Bitcoin's potential to provide freedom and asserting that no individual could pose a significant threat to its long-term value.
Having retired from football in June 2023, Okung's investment in Bitcoin could potentially make him one of the most successful ex-athlete investors if he continues to hold onto his cryptocurrency assets. His commitment to Bitcoin reflects a broader trend among athletes and celebrities exploring alternative financial strategies and investments.#RussellOkung #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Investment #AthleteInvestors #FinancialStrategy #Wealth #EconomicIndependence #StickToSpaceElon #CryptoGrowth #BTC
🚀 Bitcoin's Recent Surge Attributed to Supply Shock Post-Halving, Not Political Factors
#Bitcoin #SupplyShock #Halving #Cryptocurrency #MarketTrends #PricePrediction #BTC
According to Odaily, Jesse Myers, co-founder of Onramp Bitcoin, recently expressed on X that the recent surge in Bitcoin's value is unlikely to be primarily driven by the potential victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. elections. Instead, Myers attributes the increase to the supply shock following the Bitcoin halving event.
Myers elaborated that while the prospect of a Bitcoin-friendly government might have acted as a catalyst, it is not the main factor influencing the cryptocurrency's price. He emphasized that the supply shock post-halving has been accumulating, leading to a situation where the current price is insufficient to meet demand. To restore the balance between supply and demand, prices must rise, which could result in market frenzy and bubbles. This, according to Myers, is how the current market operates.#Bitcoin #SupplyShock #Halving #Cryptocurrency #MarketTrends #PricePrediction #BTC
🚀 South Korean Democratic Party Opposes Delay In Crypto Tax Implementation
#SouthKorea #DemocraticParty #CryptoTax #VirtualAssets #CapitalGainsTax #Regulation #Cryptocurrency #TaxImplementation #MarketStability
According to PANews, the South Korean Democratic Party has expressed opposition to the government's proposal to delay the implementation of the virtual asset capital gains tax by two years. Party spokesperson Noh Jong-myun stated their stance against the suggested postponement, which contrasts with recent reports indicating a growing likelihood of deferring the crypto tax implementation to 2027.
The Democratic Party's opposition highlights a significant divergence from the government's approach, as discussions around the taxation of virtual assets continue to evolve. The proposal to delay the tax has been a topic of debate, with proponents arguing for more time to prepare the necessary infrastructure and regulations. However, the Democratic Party insists on adhering to the original timeline, emphasizing the importance of establishing a clear tax framework for virtual assets.
This development comes amid increasing global scrutiny of cryptocurrency regulations, as governments worldwide grapple with the challenges of integrating digital assets into existing financial systems. The Democratic Party's firm stance underscores the ongoing debate within South Korea regarding the appropriate timing and structure of crypto taxation, reflecting broader concerns about regulatory clarity and market stability.#SouthKorea #DemocraticParty #CryptoTax #VirtualAssets #CapitalGainsTax #Regulation #Cryptocurrency #TaxImplementation #MarketStability

According to Odaily, Intesa Sanpaolo, an Italian bank, has issued €10 million in commercial paper utilizing Clearstream's D7 tokenization platform. The bank also acted as the investor in this transaction, settling it through the TIPS Hashlink solution provided by the Bank of Italy. This method is part of the European Central Bank's (ECB) experiment with wholesale DLT settlement in central bank money, offering three payment options.
Instead of using on-chain cash, the transaction was settled via the TIPS payment system, a leading instant payment solution in Europe, using the Hashlink interoperability mechanism, also known as hash time-locked contracts (HTLC). This transaction marks the second instance of using the TIPS Hashlink option since the ECB's pilot began in May, which is set to conclude at the end of this month.
The previous transaction involved a €25 million digital bond issued by Italy's Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) in July, with Intesa Sanpaolo serving as both the underwriter and sole investor. This ongoing pilot by the ECB aims to explore the potential of distributed ledger technology in enhancing the efficiency and security of financial transactions within the central banking system.#IntesaSanpaolo #Clearstream #D7Platform #CommercialPaper #TIPS #Hashlink #EuropeanCentralBank #WholesaleDLT #Settlement #DigitalBond #CassaDepositiEPrestiti #FinancialTransactions #CentralBanking #Tokenization #HTLC

According to Cointelegraph, Tether, the leading stablecoin issuer, has unveiled an open-source Wallet Development Kit (WDK) aimed at facilitating the integration of non-custodial wallets into various platforms. Announced on November 11, the WDK is a modular software development kit designed to empower businesses and developers to seamlessly incorporate non-custodial wallets and user experiences for USDT and Bitcoin across apps, websites, and devices.
The WDK is crafted to accommodate both human users and digital entities such as AI agents, robots, and autonomous systems.

Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized the focus on creating open-source, highly scalable, and modular development libraries that are easy to integrate across various platforms, ranging from embedded devices to mobile applications, websites, and AI systems.
Initially, the WDK will support Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT), with plans to expand and provide UI templates for any platform to build diverse non-custodial user experiences. Tether, with a circulation of $124 billion USDT, holds a dominant 68% market share among stablecoins, as reported by CoinGecko. A significant portion of these stablecoins, approximately 120 million, are distributed between the Tron and Ethereum networks. Recently, Tether transferred over 2 billion USDT to Ethereum on behalf of a major exchange transitioning its holdings from cold wallets to Ethereum.
In late October, Ardoino disclosed that Tether's reserves include about $100 billion in US Treasurys, over 82,000 Bitcoin, and 48 tons of gold, backing its stablecoin. Tether's main competitor, Circle, holds a 20% market share with nearly $37 billion in USD Coin (USDC) in circulation.#Tether #WalletDevelopmentKit #USDT #Bitcoin #NonCustodialWallets #OpenSource #Stablecoin #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain #DigitalAssets #AI #FinancialTechnology #BTC #USDC

According to Odaily, Hong Kong police have released data on online investment scams, revealing a concerning trend. In the first nine months of this year, authorities received 3,468 reports of such scams, resulting in losses totaling approximately HKD 2.2 billion. Although this represents a decrease compared to the same period last year, the number of cases in October surged by 24% compared to September, indicating a potential resurgence. Nearly 40% of these cases involved financial investment products, while 35% were related to virtual assets.
One of the most significant losses in a virtual asset scam amounted to approximately HKD 78.47 million. The victim, a female executive at a cryptocurrency company, was deceived into participating in a video call to discuss investment details. During the call, her electronic wallet account password was stolen, leading to the transfer of a substantial sum of money. As virtual asset investments continue to gain popularity, the police are urging investors to remain vigilant to avoid falling victim to such scams.
From January to October 2023, the police recorded a total of 5,017 investment scam cases, involving approximately HKD 4.93 billion. Despite the overall decline in the number and value of online investment scams in the first nine months of this year compared to the same period last year, September saw 312 cases with losses amounting to around HKD 187 million, while October experienced 380 cases with losses totaling approximately HKD 248 million.#HongKong #Police #OnlineScams #InvestmentScams #VirtualAssets #Cryptocurrency #Fraud #FinancialLosses #Vigilance #ScamAwareness

🚀 Ethereum Proposal Aims To Enhance Token Transfer Experience
#Ethereum #EIP7809 #TokenTransfer #Layer2 #Blockchain #SmartContracts #Crypto #NativeTokens #Innovation #ETH
According to Odaily, Ethereum developer Paul Berg has introduced a proposal aimed at improving the user experience when transferring tokens on the Ethereum network. The proposal, named EIP-7809, seeks to enhance the deployment of native financial products and boost the innovative potential of Ethereum Layer 2 applications. If approved through Ethereum's proposal process, this backward-compatible extension to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) would allow fungible tokens to operate with 'native-like' attributes.
Currently, ETH functions as the native token of Ethereum, while most other tokens built on the network lack many of the 'native' features that ETH possesses. This limitation affects functionalities such as direct token transfers using opcodes and the ability to transfer multiple tokens in a single contract call. EIP-7809 proposes the introduction of four new opcodes to address these issues: MINT & BURN, which would manage token supply through minting and burning; BALANCEOF, for checking token balances; NTCALL, for token transfers requiring contract calls; and NTCREATE, for creating contracts with upfront token deposits.#Ethereum #EIP7809 #TokenTransfer #Layer2 #Blockchain #SmartContracts #Crypto #NativeTokens #Innovation #ETH

🚀 Bitcoin's Growth in Current Halving Cycle Analyzed
#Bitcoin #HalvingCycle #BullMarket #iChainfo #MarketDynamics #InvestorSentiment #MacroeconomicFactors #RegulatoryDevelopments #BTC
According to BlockBeats, recent data from iChainfo reveals that Bitcoin has experienced a 39% increase since the beginning of the current halving cycle. This growth is notably less than the 119% rise observed during the same period in the previous halving cycle.
The analysis by iChainfo suggests that the market may currently be in the early stages of a bull market. This assessment is based on the comparative performance of Bitcoin in the current and previous cycles. The halving event, which reduces the reward for mining new blocks by half, typically influences Bitcoin's price by creating scarcity. However, the current cycle's growth rate indicates a more gradual increase compared to the past.
This slower growth could imply various market dynamics at play, including investor sentiment, macroeconomic factors, and regulatory developments. As the market continues to evolve, stakeholders are closely monitoring these trends to gauge future movements in Bitcoin's value. The analysis underscores the importance of understanding historical patterns while considering the unique aspects of the current market environment.#Bitcoin #HalvingCycle #BullMarket #iChainfo #MarketDynamics #InvestorSentiment #MacroeconomicFactors #RegulatoryDevelopments #BTC

According to Odaily, Ethena's founder, Guy Young, recently shared insights on the X platform regarding the current market conditions.

This significant financial obligation reflects the ongoing dynamics and challenges faced by market participants in maintaining their positions.
Young's statement sheds light on the financial pressures within the market, emphasizing the substantial costs incurred by those holding bullish positions. The funding rate, a crucial component in leveraged trading, represents the cost of maintaining open positions and can significantly impact traders' strategies and profitability.

The current funding rate highlights the broader economic environment and the factors influencing market sentiment. As traders navigate these conditions, understanding the implications of funding rates becomes essential for effective risk management and strategic planning.
