The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is seeking sources that can provide blockchain data to support its efforts on ensuring compliance and risk monitoring of digital assets, and ways to identify the owners of wallet addresses for multiple cryptocurrencies.

'The SEC is seeking information for potential sources to support the goal of acquiring data for the most widely used blockchain ledgers, including the universe of available information and transaction details', the report reads.

The SEC has issued a ‘sources sought notice’ on January 31, searching for companies that can provide blockchain data to support its efforts to monitor risk and improve compliance of digital assets.

The data from the Blockchain will be able to assist in the determination of crypto ownership. This would be useful for determining a crypto token from a security token, as the SEC has stated that the more Decentralised it is and the more distributed the ownership, the less likely it will be security.

South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced that the ban on domestic initial coin offerings will not be lifted.

The country’s financial regulator, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) has recently found some projects which broke the ban by establishing paper companies in Singapore and raising funds from Korean investors and concluded the offerings are highly risky for investors.

The FSC decision was informed by the results of a survey conducted by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), indicating that some ICOs purportedly conducted abroad had also illegally raised money from Korean investors.

The FSS has reportedly sent a questionnaire to 22 cryptocurrency-related firms that conducted ICOs in foreign countries and got replies from 13. These held their token sales in the second half of 2017 and raises a total of $509 million.

The survey reportedly found that some projects set up companies in Singapore to circumvent the ICO...

Bitcoin News & Updates / CBOE Refiles Bitcoin ETF Proposal for SEC Approval
« on: February 01, 2019, 10:25:04 AM »
US stock exchange operator CBOE has resubmitted its joint proposal with VanEck and SolidX to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to list a bitcoin ETF on one of its trading platforms.

The digital asset strategist/director at VanEck, Gabor Gurbacs, took to Twitter to make the announcement.

The proposal was withdrawn from consideration earlier this month due to the U.S. government shutdown. At the time, VanEck CEO Jan van Eck explained that the companies filing the rule change proposal had been in talks with the SEC, but those talks ended when the shutdown began. To avoid a probable rejection due to the closure, the proposal was withdrawn.

The previous ETF proposal was originally filed in June 2018 and was in the last approve/deny stage with the SEC. The SEC had to make a decision by February 27th to either approve or deny the ETF.

A new stablecoin called Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) has been launched on the Ethereum Blockchain and will offer cross-chain trading options. However, this one is backed not by a fiat currency but by the world’s number one cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC).

The project was first unveiled in October as a joint initiative between decentralized exchange startups Kyber Network and Republic Protocol, as well as cryptocurrency custody company BitGo.

According to the team staying behind the project, WBTC is intended for ensuring greater liquidity to the Ethereum ecosystem in general including financial apps and decentralized exchanges.

At the time, BitGo CTO Benedict Chan described WBTC as possessing both “the stability of bitcoin and the flexibility of Ethereum,” likening the new crypto asset to traditional bank notes (the kind that was once redeemable for gold).

While volatile compared to the U.S. dollar, bitcoin is the most liquid and stable of cryptocurrencies with the highest market capitalization, he noted.

The price of WBTC as listed on the CoinMarketCap website is $3,506 compared to Bitcoin’s price which...

On Thursday (January 31st), Binance, the leading crypto-to-crypto exchange announced a partnership with leading payment processing company Simplex, enabling users to buy cryptocurrencies with Visa and MasterCard credit/debit cards.

The exchange is supporting credit card purchase for bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), litecoin (LTC) and XRP. These can then be traded against up to 151 other tokens offered by the exchange.

According to Binance, this partnership brings users two benefits:

"Low Fees: only 3.5% per transaction or 10 USD, whichever is higher"
However, there are geographical limitations.

The United Arab Emirates Central Bank (UAECB) and the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) today announced the launch of the common digital currency project 'Aber'.

Aber is part of a seven-point co-operation plan agreed upon during the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Saudi-Emirati Co-ordination Council earlier this month.

The proof-of-concept trial will examine if the nations can ultimately reduce remittance costs using Aber a common digital currency. The study will also look at whether the blockchain system can act as an “additional reserve” for domestic payments.

Aber will be used in financial settlements between the two countries through Blockchains and Distributed Ledgers technologies.

The two countries decided to launch the project jointly rather than independently as both have central systems for remittances and domestic transactions which have evolved over time and proved their feasibility.

Furthermore, it will establish an additional means...

The bear market appears to have arrived in full force today as crypto markets plunge to new low levels for 2019. Bitcoin (BTC) being a notable victim of the market crash goes below the trading value of $3,500 yet again.

Almost $7 billion has been dumped in the past few hours to send total market capitalization plunging to a new 2019 low at around $114 billion. After a solid week of holding above $3,550, Bitcoin saw a 3.48% decline in price, dropping back below $3,500.

It has not been this low since December 17 when BTC rallied from its 2018 low level of just below $3,200. Most price predictions and analysis have been suggesting further losses for Bitcoin which has not been able to overcome key resistance levels.

Ethereum has taken a bigger hit, getting smashed 7% to drop below $110 again. ETH is dangerously close to dropping back into double figures once again. XRP has extended the gap back to $1 billion as it only lost 5% on the day, but it is now below $0.30 for the first time this year.

Most of the crypto assets are bleeding out at the moment with double-figure losses for Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Stellar Lumens, Iota, and Bitcoin Gold. The order of the top ten has changed so often over...

Messari founder Ryan Selkis has been the subject of targeted harassment after the crypto research firm Messari suggested the market capitalization of Ripple’s XRP cryptocurrency may be overestimated by billions.

Messari claims that both XRP’s actual circulating supply and market cap are currently overstated by 46%, meaning that XRP’s market cap is closer to $6.9 billion than the $13 billion that it is listed at on CoinMarketCap.

Shortly after this reports went viral, the founder of Messari claimed he received a threatening phone call which threated him and his family, leading him to believe that the so-called 'XRP army' are up to their old tricks.

Someone just called me from a Nashville number and recited my wife’s birthday to me. Then hung up.@bgarlinghouse these are the type of animals you and your fucking company enable.

War.

— Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot) January 24, 2019

Messari also admitted that Ripple had not given access to some of the data needed to conduct a thorough analysis of the real market capitalization and that some of the estimates, therefore “lack precision.” However, the researchers also added that...

Binance / Binance Over The Counter (OTC) Trading Desk goes live
« on: January 23, 2019, 05:15:29 PM »
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange has officially announced the launch of their crypto-to-crypto over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk.

The OTC desk allows Binance users to trade larger amounts of many cryptocurrencies listed on the exchange, with transactions being settled via their Binance accounts.

The OTC trading desk will allow high-volume traders to save time by clearing their trades at one go. All trades will also be private and the order books will not be touched.

As earlier mentioned, all settlements will be done using the user’s account and there will be no need of additional wallets.

Over-the-counter is a security that isn't traded on a formal exchange, allowing two parties to trade directly with each other without having their offers exposed to the public. However, OTC trading does come with its own set of risks.

However, the team at Binance has also explained why their OTC desk is better than the rest in the industry. They explained it...

He is fleeing the US after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) charged him, his wife and his presidential campaign team with tax felonies. McAfee admits that he has not paid taxes or filed returns for the past eight years. He shared the news with his Twitter followers via a short video clip.

“Today, Jan. 22, the IRS has convened a grand jury in the state of Tennessee to charge me, my wife, Mrs. McAfee, four of my campaign workers with unspecified IRS crimes of a felonious nature. They want to silence me. I will not allow that.”

McAfee said he will continue to be on the run on his boat and he plans to release campaign videos every day while in exile. He says as long as he’s on the run he cannot be officially charged by the tax agency.

“I am running my campaign in exile on this boat for the duration. I will not allow them to imprison...
