Big news from Taiwan: the country's top financial regulator has been announced as the main body to oversee the crypto industry in the country. This move comes as many crypto companies and exchanges are calling for more clarity and friendlier regulations in the country.

The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) will oversee crypto payments and transactions initially, and the official announcement on naming the financial regulator as the crypto regulatory body could come as early as the end of March. The FSC is also working with industry representatives on "self-regulation measures."

However, NFTs or "non-fungible tokens" will not come under its crypto regulatory oversight as they are still emerging as an asset class and would be regulated later if required.

It's worth noting that Taiwan had previously taken a strict approach towards crypto, banning credit card use for crypto purchases last year due to risks associated with virtual assets. But with increased crypto activity in the country after China's crypto crackdown in 2021, the demand for clearer regulations and oversight has grown.

Many crypto companies, including Binance Holdings, Matrixport Technologies, and Woo Network LLC, sent a joint paper urging regulators for more friendly regulation that provides clarity for companies operating in Taiwan. They argue that unclear rules and categorizations can make it confusing for business operators, authorities, and customers.

The FSC's Banking Bureau is working on regulatory changes and consulting with crypto exchange operators on crypto regulations. Crypto exchanges providing virtual asset trading services will be the first to be regulated under the FSC.

It will be interesting to see how Taiwan's approach towards crypto regulation evolves in the coming months, especially as other countries in the region are taking active stances towards regulating the industry. Singapore proposed tighter rules on retail crypto trading, while Hong Kong aims to become a crypto hub with crypto-friendly regulations.

What are your thoughts on Taiwan's move to increase oversight on the crypto industry? Do you think clearer regulations and oversight will help the industry grow and thrive in the country?

 According to Bitboy Crypto, they're a niche worth keeping an eye on in the cryptocurrency world. He recently shared his insights on the top AI coins to watch, giving a perfect ten out of ten rating to Singularity, Fetch.ai, and a few others.

But why all the fuss about AI in crypto? Well, AI technology can bring a lot of benefits to the space. For instance, it can help automate tasks, enhance security, and analyze data, among other things. As more blockchain-based AI projects enter the market, investors are paying close attention to their potential.

But not all AI projects are created equal. Bitboy Crypto gave the AI coin niche an overall rating of five out of ten, indicating that there's still room for improvement. He advised investors to focus on newer projects, as some of the older ones have already had their time in the spotlight.

One of the projects worth keeping an eye on is Singularity DAO. Bitboy recommended it due to its strong relationship with SingularityNET, a decentralized AI network. Singularity DAO aims to empower developers and researchers to build AI applications that are transparent, decentralized, and accessible to everyone.

But Singularity DAO isn't the only AI project making waves in the crypto world. Fetch.ai is also leading the way in this space. The platform combines different blockchains into one network, and its CEO recently shared insights on the company's 2023 roadmap and micro agent launch. The micro agent launch is expected to bring new use cases for the Fetch.ai network, including in the areas of decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

But there's more! Other AI projects are also integrating AI into their networks. For example, Ocean Protocol aims to create a decentralized marketplace for data, powered by AI and blockchain. Numeraire is building a hedge fund that uses AI to make investment decisions. And Iexec RLC is creating a decentralized cloud computing network that uses AI to optimize resource allocation.

In conclusion, AI coins are a niche with a lot of potential, but there's still room for improvement. As more projects enter the market, investors should keep an eye on the newer ones and those with strong relationships with established networks. It'll be exciting to see how AI technology evolves in the crypto world in the coming years!

After a few weeks of bearish trends, Bitcoin is back in the green! The price of the world's most popular cryptocurrency hit a nine-month high of around $28,440 last week. And it's not just Bitcoin that's seeing a surge in prices. Ethereum and Binance Coin have also increased by over 11% and 15%, respectively, in the past week.

So, what's driving this bullish sentiment in the crypto market? Well, it turns out that the global banking sector is currently experiencing a meltdown, leading to rising inflation. This has caused investors to turn to Bitcoin as a potential hedge against inflation.

The recent news of Credit Suisse being saved through government intervention has further boosted investors' confidence in Bitcoin's capabilities to fight inflation. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse, Axel P. Lehmann, stated that the UBS merger was the best outcome for all stakeholders at the moment. On the other hand, UBS Chairman Colm Kelleher said that the acquisition would help advance the company's agenda and save the financial markets from further catastrophic losses.

As long as the $25k macro downtrend breakout holds in the monthly close, popular crypto analyst Rekt Capital believes that Bitcoin's bullish sentiment will hold. If this happens, we can expect a spike in cash flow to altcoins in the coming weeks.

What's particularly interesting is that the rising Bitcoin trajectory has rejuvenated hopes of reaching $30k before hitting $10k again in the near term. This is great news for those who are holding Bitcoin and hoping for a profitable return on their investment.

But what about those who are looking for new investment opportunities? Well, there are many altcoins that are worth keeping an eye on. According to Bitboy Crypto, Singularity DAO and Fetch.ai are two top AI coins to watch. Singularity DAO is particularly interesting as it aims to empower developers and researchers to build AI applications that are transparent, decentralized, and accessible to everyone.

Overall, the potential of AI in crypto is not limited to these projects alone. Many other projects are also working on integrating AI into their networks, such as Ocean Protocol, Numeraire, and Iexec RLC. It's exciting to see the increasing role of AI in the cryptocurrency space and the potential it holds for the future.

In conclusion, the recent surge in Bitcoin's price is a positive sign for the crypto market. As long as the $25k macro downtrend breakout holds, we can expect more bullish sentiment in the coming weeks. And with the rise of AI coins, there are plenty of investment opportunities to explore beyond Bitcoin.

At the time of writing, BTC is trading at an all-time high of $28K. While this rally has experienced a few downtrends, the question on everyone's mind is whether it will continue to run for a long time.

The American banking system is experiencing turmoil as more banks face the risk of collapse. First Republic Bank is the latest bank to join the list of struggling financial institutions, prompting bigger players like JP Morgan, Bank of America, and CitiGroup to make uninsured deposits to prevent their collapse.

However, while traditional banking seems to be struggling, the crypto market continues to stand strong and thrive. In a surprising move, Bitcoin's price surged above $27,000, benefiting from the wave of bank fallouts. Nonetheless, the possibility of a minor downswing may emerge as the bears accumulate their strength.

Currently, there is a dissonance between the news background and price movements, with Bitcoin displaying a giant price movement that may be subjected to massive correction sooner or later. Despite the potential for the price to rise beyond $28,500 and reach the target of $30,000, a certain correction phase may be necessary.

According to the chart, the price is trading in a wave pattern that displays the prospects of the crypto market in the coming days. The Bitcoin price is expected to rapidly drop from $21,000 to $21,500, where traders are expected to accumulate heavily. This may trigger a strong rebound that may raise the price levels close to $30,000 in the next couple of weeks.

Therefore, the upcoming weeks may be critical for Bitcoin and the entire crypto space as a significant plunge is expected to induce a catapult action over the crypto market. While the American banking system struggles, the crypto market seems to be providing a haven for investors seeking financial stability.

Have you heard about the recent study conducted by economists that has revealed 186 US banks are at risk of collapse due to increasing interest rates and potential customer withdrawals? It's a chilling reality that's difficult to ignore.

The study evaluated individual US banks during the Federal Reserve's swift rate-hike campaign, assessing asset books and market value losses. These assets, including Treasury notes and mortgage loans, are decreasing in value, leaving banks struggling to keep up. It's a recipe for disaster that could be the beginning of the end for many financial institutions.

To make matters worse, the study also analyzed the banks' funding percentages, with a focus on funding derived from uninsured depositors, those with accounts holding over $250,000. If even half of these uninsured depositors were to withdraw their funds rapidly from any of these 186 US banks, even insured depositors may face impairments. It's a ticking time bomb that could spell disaster for the entire banking industry.

But what about the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)? This government agency provides insurance to depositors in case of bank failure. However, if half of the uninsured depositors were to withdraw their funds, even the FDIC may not have enough resources to protect all depositors. The question is, will it be enough to prevent a catastrophic collapse of the banking system?

It's essential to note that there is a significant limitation in this research. The study does not consider hedging strategies that may safeguard numerous banks against rising interest rates. These strategies involve financial instruments that protect against losses in value due to market fluctuations. Is there a glimmer of hope for the banking industry, or is it too little too late?

This study highlights the urgency of regular financial stability assessments and the importance of informed decisions by depositors when choosing a banking institution. So, what can you do to protect your hard-earned money? Start by doing your research and choosing a bank with a solid financial history and a sound strategy for managing risk.

Don't wait for a financial disaster to strike before taking action. It's up to all of us to be proactive in safeguarding our financial future. So, let's take action now to prevent a looming financial disaster!

Bitcoin bulls pushed the price beyond $25k during early Asian market hours after rejecting $26.5k earlier this week. According to recent crypto market data, the Bitcoin price is hovering around $25.9k, marking a 6.5% increase in the past 25 hours. As the US government prints more money to save the struggling banking industry, investors are expected to seek refuge in Bitcoin to escape riskier assets.

Moreover, the Federal Reserve added $300 billion to its balance sheet over the past week, marking the highest amount in a short period since Black Thursday in 2020. According to JPMorgan Chase, the Fed may inject up to $2 trillion into the banking system following the collapse of three lenders over the past week.

The overall inflation is expected to rise, despite the Fed’s initiative to bring it down to 2%. With Bitcoin’s inflation rate at 1.71% per annum, more investors are likely to ditch fiat currencies in favor of the digital asset.

A closer look at the Bitcoin market reveals that its price is retesting the macro downtrend resistance level that began in late 2021. The Bitcoin market is showing an increased rate of decoupling from equities correlation, with the Nasdaq relation at its lowest. With the Fed’s action to print more money to save the banking sector, the correlation is expected to widen further.

Moreover, on-chain data reveals that the Bitcoin market is growing rapidly. The total amount of Bitcoin addresses has increased by 1.71 million, representing a 3.95% increase over the last two months. This suggests that more people are becoming interested in Bitcoin as a viable investment option.

Furthermore, the largest Bitcoin on-chain transactions of $1 billion have recently taken place from a single whale. This indicates that there are still high-net-worth individuals interested in Bitcoin, despite the recent market pullback.

In conclusion, the recent market developments suggest that Bitcoin is poised for a surge in the coming months. With more investors looking to escape inflation and the government printing more money, the demand for Bitcoin is expected to increase. However, investors should remain cautious and diversify their investments to mitigate risks.

Do you think Bitcoin will continue its rally in the near future?

Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer (CLO), Paul Grewal, has stated that the relisting of XRP, Ripple's native token, will depend on the legal reasoning behind the judge's ruling in the ongoing lawsuit with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as Coinbase's assessment of the situation. Grewal made these comments during an interview with crypto-focused YouTube podcast channel, Thinking Crypto.

Grewal highlighted that Coinbase, as a publicly listed company, has a responsibility to tread carefully in this area, particularly with respect to any token that is subject to federal court litigation. He outlined three main factors that will influence Coinbase's decision to relist XRP: the legal reasoning behind the judge's ruling, the basis for the ruling, and Coinbase's assessment of whether the decision will be repealed or affirmed by the appeal court.

Coinbase suspended trading for XRP on its platform on December 28, 2020, shortly after the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple began on December 26, 2020. Despite the dynamics of the two-year litigation, Coinbase has not resumed trading for XRP, although the asset can still be found on the platform.

During the interview, Grewal commended Ripple's defense efforts against the SEC's charges and noted that Coinbase filed an amicus brief in Ripple's favor last year because he was completely persuaded by the Ripple defense's argument. He further mentioned that he hopes the court sees that the SEC has some holes in its theories. However, he asserted that the case could last much longer because whoever loses will take up the judgment in the appeal court.

Coinbase has had its legal run-ins with the SEC as the agency classifies some of its listed assets as securities. The exchange has delisted tokens such as Civic (CVC) and district0x (DNT) due to regulatory concerns.

Coinbase's decision to relist XRP will likely be influenced by the SEC's classification of XRP as a security, a claim that Ripple has vehemently denied. If Ripple wins the lawsuit, it could have significant implications for the wider cryptocurrency industry, particularly with respect to the classification of cryptocurrencies as securities. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen how the lawsuit will play out and what impact it will have on Coinbase's decision to relist XRP.



Will Coinbase relist XRP?

Credit Suisse, a European bank with over $550 billion in assets, has been struggling in recent months due to a series of external and internal frauds, as well as failures of hedge funds and capital firms. This has led to concerns about the bank's future, with its biggest backer, the Saudi National Bank, refusing to put up more cash. Investors and analysts have been closely following these developments, with some losing confidence in the bank over a decade ago.

In an attempt to turn things around, Credit Suisse hired Tidjane Thiam, an outsider, as CEO in 2011. However, the bank has continued to experience issues, leading to Thiam being forced to step down in 2020. In 2021, the bank reported losses and cut 9,000 jobs, further contributing to its decline.

The current struggles of Credit Suisse have led some to draw comparisons to Bear Stearns, which failed in 2008 during the financial crisis. While the situation is not as dire as it was then, concerns have been raised about the impact of Credit Suisse's troubles on the wider banking system. Analysts have noted similarities between the two entities, including a money laundering conviction, fraud, and failures of hedge funds and capital firms.

As Credit Suisse's struggles continue to make headlines, the crypto market has been experiencing its own surge. Bitcoin dominance has reached a nine-month high, with investors seeking an alternative to the traditional financial system. Altcoins have also been bleeding back into Bitcoin, with major altcoins paired against Bitcoin showing a clear trend.

While the exact relationship between Credit Suisse's struggles and the rise in Bitcoin dominance is unclear, some analysts speculate that investors are seeking a safe haven in the face of potential banking sector instability. The current situation underscores the continued importance of alternative financial systems, such as cryptocurrencies, which can provide investors with greater stability and security.

Overall, the struggles of Credit Suisse highlight the potential risks inherent in the traditional financial system, as well as the need for alternative systems that can provide greater stability and security. As the crypto market continues to grow and mature, it may become an increasingly attractive option for investors seeking a safe haven from potential banking sector instability.

Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced the end of zero-fee Bitcoin trading on its platform. The move comes amid regulatory scrutiny of Binance USD (BUSD), a stablecoin, and the exchange is shifting its zero-fee Bitcoin trading to TUSD. From March 22, BTC/TUSD will be the only zero-fee spot trading pair, while zero maker fees will still apply to BNB/TUSD and ETH/TUSD trading pairs.

Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao stated that the exchange is not adding another stablecoin, but stopping the BUSD program amid ending support for it. The BUSD zero maker fee promotion will now exclude the BNB/BUSD, BTC/BUSD, and ETH/BUSD spot and margin trading pairs, while other BUSD spot and margin trading pairs will remain the same. TrueFi (TRU) token jumped nearly 20% after the announcement, as people believed the token is still related to TUSD. However, the Binance CEO asserts that TRU should not be related to TUSD.

Crypto Twitter has reacted positively to the move by Binance, expressing support for TUSD stablecoin after BUSD. On March 11, Binance switched to multiple stablecoins and discontinued its Binance USD (BUSD) Auto-Conversion policy that was introduced last September. Binance's recent addition of new spot trading pairs, such as BNB/TUSD, BTC/TUSD, ETH/TUSD, TUSD/USDT, USDC/USDT, and USDP/USDT, indicates the exchange's move towards TUSD, a comparatively small stablecoin with just $2 billion market cap.

As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $24,893, up 2% in the last 24 hours and 13% in a week. The trading volume continues to be flat in the last few hours. Despite Bitcoin's recent price fluctuations, the crypto market is expected to continue to grow in popularity as more people adopt cryptocurrencies as an investment and payment method.

It seems like the big players in the Bitcoin market aren't too bothered by the recent drop in Bitcoin's value. In fact, according to Whale Alert, some major Bitcoin investors have been accumulating the cryptocurrency. They've even sent up to 6,000 BTC in two transactions to Binance, a popular cryptocurrency exchange.

Interestingly, while the price of Bitcoin was declining, some of these investors saw an opportunity to "buy the dip." They made moves to acquire more Bitcoin, such as a recent transfer of up to 11,125 Bitcoin to Binance. It's unclear whether these transfers have played a role in Bitcoin's recent upward movement.

Despite the recent dip in Bitcoin's value, some significant investor cohorts have been buying up Bitcoin. Crypto analytics firm Santiment reports that Bitcoin whales and sharks (which refers to addresses holding 10 to 10,000 Bitcoin) accumulated 40,557 BTC worth $821.50 million in the previous week. It's worth noting that the value of Bitcoin was declining at the time of these purchases.

Whales in the cryptocurrency market can often provide important information about future price movements. They have a reputation for buying when they believe the market has declined and selling at a premium. In this case, their buying pressure seems to have had a favorable impact on Bitcoin's price, which has experienced some strong upward movement in the last day. It will be interesting to see what further impact these whales and sharks will have on the cryptocurrency market.

What is your expert opinion on the timeline for BTC to reach the price of 26?

On March 12, the panic caused by the USD Coin's depeg from the U.S. dollar led to a flash spike in the BTC/USDC pair on Binance, with Bitcoin's price rising to $50,000, though only for a few minutes. The sudden surge was likely due to thin order books for the newly launched BTC/USDC pair on Binance, as a Bitcoin market order ate through limit sell-orders on the pair up to $50,000.

However, the futures market remained unaffected by the spot BTC/USDC pair, averting potential massive short-side liquidations. This isn't the first time cryptocurrency exchanges have experienced flash crashes and spikes, with exchanges in the past facing similar issues that led to customer anger and refund requests.

The value of USDC dropped to lows of $0.87 on March 11 due to Circle's exposure to the defunct Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), causing instability in USDC trading pairs on other exchanges. However, the United States Treasury, Federal Reserve, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have decided to bail out SVB and Signature Bank's customers, restoring market confidence. Investors should conduct their own research before making any investment or trading decision as every move involves risk.

Bitcoin's recent price crash due to the collapse of a US bank has displayed its resilience in maintaining an upward trend, but it has struggled to break past the $25,000 threshold, which is considered crucial for a bullish run. However, the markets are not yet stable, and sudden changes may continue to affect the crypto space. The upcoming week is highly volatile, with multiple events that may trigger significant fluctuations in the market.

Kobessi Letter, a weekly commentary on global capital markets, has identified the key events that could impact the markets. Despite the Bitcoin price surpassing the SVB's fallout, major volatility may hinder the rally's progress. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) data for February could have a significant impact, as prices have been rising and falling rapidly, wiping out previous gains.

Furthermore, retail sales, jobless claims, and mass tech layoffs due to the SVB's failure could impact both the crypto space and traditional markets. This week is critical for the stock markets, as it deals with the fallout from SVB and receives crucial inflation data. Hence, market sentiments and Federal Reserve policies may be affected this week.

Overall, the crypto space remains highly volatile, and investors should remain cautious as sudden changes can occur at any time. The events mentioned above may have a significant impact on the markets, and investors should keep a close eye on the news and market trends to make informed decisions.

How long do you think the market will remain bullish?

The Voyager creditors committee plans to challenge any appeal against the Bankruptcy Court's approval of Binance.US's acquisition of Voyager Digital assets. This move comes as the U.S. Department of Justice challenges Judge Michael Wiles' decision to approve the sale of Voyager assets to Binance.US for $1 billion. The appeal comes amid objections from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and state regulators. The Voyager Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors stated that it will work with the Debtors to oppose any appeal against the deal. However, an appeal could significantly delay creditor recoveries.

Earlier, the court approved the acquisition of Voyager assets by Binance.US after a four-day confirmation hearing. The judge agreed that Binance.US's deal is the best for impacted Voyager creditors to maximize their recoveries. The deal will help customers recover 73% of the crypto assets they owned before the bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, Voyager Digital has been continuously selling its crypto assets. After the approval of the deal, Voyager sold crypto assets worth over $56 million to Binance.US, Coinbase, and Wintermute Trading on Thursday. The major crypto assets included Ethereum, Shiba Inu, Chainlink, and Voyager Token. According to analysis firm Arkham, Voyager Digital dumped over $350 million of its on-chain crypto assets over the past six weeks.

News related to Crypto / Why Crypto Market is Crashing Today?
« on: March 10, 2023, 07:36:04 AM »
The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a significant downturn recently, with the global crypto market cap dropping below $1 trillion and Bitcoin's price falling below $20k. This trend has been attributed to a combination of factors, including negative publicity surrounding Silvergate Bank and a lawsuit filed by US regulators against KuCoin.

The negative publicity surrounding Silvergate Bank has caused investors to worry about the stability and security of the cryptocurrency market. Silvergate Bank is a major player in the crypto industry, providing banking services to many of the leading crypto exchanges. Its recent decision to stop its liquidations has raised concerns among investors, leading to a sell-off in the market.

The lawsuit filed by US regulators against KuCoin has also contributed to the negative sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency market. The lawsuit alleges that KuCoin violated securities laws by trading ether without registering as a broker-dealer. This has led investors to worry about the potential legal risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies, further fueling the sell-off in the market.

In addition to these specific events, there are other macroeconomic factors that are affecting the cryptocurrency market. One of the most significant factors is the fear of higher interest rates. As the economy begins to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, there are concerns that inflation will rise, leading to higher interest rates. This could have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market, as investors may choose to sell their assets in favor of safer investments.

Another factor affecting the cryptocurrency market is the upcoming US jobs data. Many investors are waiting to see how the job market is recovering from the pandemic, and the release of this data could have a significant impact on the market. If the data shows that the job market is improving, investors may become more bullish on the market, leading to a recovery in prices.

Despite these challenges, many experts remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of the cryptocurrency market. They believe that cryptocurrencies have the potential to revolutionize the financial industry, offering faster, more secure, and more efficient transactions. However, in the short term, investors should be prepared for volatility and be cautious in their investments.

In conclusion, the cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a significant downturn, with the global crypto market cap dropping below $1 trillion and Bitcoin's price falling below $20k. The negative publicity surrounding Silvergate Bank and the lawsuit against KuCoin have contributed to this trend, along with fears of higher interest rates and the upcoming US jobs data. Despite these challenges, many experts remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of the cryptocurrency market, but investors should be prepared for volatility in the short term.

Any other factors affecting the crypto market?

 True! Traders are being very cautious, especially given the news that 138K bitcoin was going to be received as an early repayment, coupled with Jerome Powell's interest rate hikes, which has had a tremendous impact on investors. This fear is leading investors to sell off their assets.
