The European Commission has put forward a prospective regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, as discussed on the organization’s website and in original documents. European Union: A Complete Crypto Framework The new framework regulates several aspects of digital commerce, with a significant focus on cryptocurrencies (“crypto assets”) and blockchain companies (“DLT market infrastructures”). It clarifies explicitly which assets are considered “crypto assets” and provides rules for the digital finance industry. The Commission intends to build upon existing rules. It notes that some crypto assets fall under existing laws, but that those laws predate cryptocurrency and blockchain as it is known…

The vast majority of DeFi projects still have the ability to enter ‘God Mode’ and unilaterally make changes to pretty much everything. Twelve out of 15 of the most popular decentralized finance protocols still have access to a ‘God Mode’ admin key, according to data on review platform DeFi Watch. These full-access controls allow developers to modify or replace the smart contracts underpinning their projects, including making adjustments to user balances. While admin keys have been justified as a way to protect users’ funds and are often used with security features such as timelocks and multi-sigs, analysts argue this calls…
Bitcoin has always been a volatile and changeable asset, and this was borne out clearly during its historic price run back in 2017. During these 12 incredible months, the price of Bitcoin soared from just $1,000 to a staggering $20,000 on the CoinDesk Index, before paring back to £8,000 by June 2018. This highlights both the opportunities and the challenges facing Bitcoin traders in the modern age, and there’s no sign of this market becoming less volatile in the near-term. In this post, we’ll cast our eyes over the latest Bitcoin price movements, while asking whether or not there could…

Famous day trader Dave Portnoy says he misses crypto in a candid interview with Anthony Pompliano. Popular day trader and founder of Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy revealed that he bought $1.25 million worth of Bitcoin even though he thinks its “just one big Ponzi scheme” in an interview with crypto podcaster Anthony Pompliano. Portnoy summed up his view of crypto trading as: “You get in, and you just have to not be the one left holding the bag.” The sport and pop culture celebrity, whose day trading exploits have become hugely popular during the coronavirus pandemic, only recently delved into…

The biggest debate in the crypto space over recent years has been about if Bitcoin is a medium of exchange or not. Prominent individuals that have commented on the matter include Jack Dorsey, the chief executive of Twitter and Square, and many commentators and investors online. Dorsey, for one, thinks that Bitcoin should be used as a digital currency, recently telling Reuters it’s the “best iteration” of a native internet currency he’s seen. But another prominent corporate supporter of BTC, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, has begged to differ. The recent-instated cryptocurrency bull recently asserted to his followers that for Bitcoin…
A Chainlink developer address appears to have been offloading tokens and putting downward pressure on prices. But things are looking up. Following a six week downtrend from its all-time high, LINK has rebounded 30% in the past 24 hours after a reported developer selloff resulted in downward pressure on the oracle protocol token’s price. The strong rebound in the Bitcoin price, a sea of green among DeFi coins and a new Chainlink partnership announcement have all contributed to the price increase. Chainlink’s native token had fallen over 60% from its peak of $20 mid-August, bottoming out at crucial support levels…

Bitcoin’s price action as of late has done little to offer investors with insights into its near-term outlook. Its price has mainly been oscillating between highs of $11,000 and lows of $10,000, with each attempt to break out of this tight trading range resulting in the cryptocurrency seeing massive inflows of selling pressure that force it lower. Last week, buyers pushed BTC as high as $11,200 during a swift upwards move. The rejection here kicked off a prolonged consolidation phase, and it has been struggling to regain its momentum ever since. There is one indicator, however, that seems to indicate…

Weeks ago, XRP outperformed the rest of the market, surprising Ripple investors and other crypto holders alike. A recovery looked to be in full effect, but the altcoin has since fallen back to the bottom of weekly cloud support where bulls are trying to hold. If the cryptocurrency loses cloud support on weekly timeframes, it could rain down a storm of pain on XRP investors who have already sustained so much frustration in the last few years. XRP Ready To Fall Out Of Cloud Support, Storm Of Pain Could Strike Holders XRP finally showed investors a glimmer of hope that…
Bitcoin has recovered after a strong decline earlier this week. After dropping under $10,200 just over a day ago, the cryptocurrency has sprung back above $10,500. The coin now trades at $10,800, having undergone a strong rally just a few hours ago. The coin is up around 5% in the past 24 hours, rising as the U.S. dollar’s rally begins to taper off. Some pin the rally on an ongoing expiry in the futures and options markets, which are likely causing traders to open and close positions. Whatever the case, analysts are attempting to determine what comes next for Bitcoin.…
Will this legal contradiction be resolved before the deadline? With the South Korean government preparing to implement know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance processes, there is confusion among legal experts as to whether the requirements contradict other laws. According to Digital Today, the new requirements would contravene the existing Personal Information Protection Act, which stipulates that local companies cannot legally request social security numbers. The measure also cover financial institutions, however they can request it under exceptional circumstances, such as for major banking transactions. The Enforcement Decree of the Special Payment Act is expected to come into force in…
It’s been quite a boring month for Bitcoin. After plunging around $2,000 at the start of the month, the leading cryptocurrency has entered a tight consolidation range between $10,000 and $11,000, bouncing back and forth between those pivotal technical levels. As of this article’s writing, BTC trades for $10,700, at levels that some analysts have dubbed no man’s land. Here’s a crucial level analysts are eyeing as Bitcoin nears the end of September. How the cryptocurrency interacts with that level is likely to decide Bitcoin’s directionality moving forward.
