🟠Trump’s First-Day Executive Orders (Crypto) ⚫ BlackRock market insights publication ⚫BlackRock Canadian BTC spot ETF ❗ Sony's Platform for 'Creators'
🟠 Make Bitcoin Great Again
The Washington Post reports that Trump is expected to sign executive orders addressing crypto de-banking and repealing a policy forcing banks to list crypto as liabilities.
- Joe Biden’s administration has been accused of using financial regulators to pressure banks to cut off the industry from financial services under “Operation ChokePoint 2.0.”
- David Sack hosted a luncheon on December 20, during which it was revealed that Trump plans to revoke Biden’s 2023 AI executive order. Conservatives criticized the order for its focus on "equity."
⚫ BlackRock market insights publication stresses that Bitcoins' pace of adoption has been even faster than that of other breakthrough technologies like the internet and mobile phones. They have identified Several factors have accelerated this adoption, including:
- Demographic patterns
- Global shifts
- Future of finance
📊 Full report here https://shorturl.at/0suxl Check out the Blockchain DXB episode we have a different take on this as we slightly disagree with the point regarding the Adoption of crypto assets has outpaced growth for mobile phones and the internet⁴ If we compare Bitcoin adoption to user adoption with threads (30million in 24hrs), chatGPT by open AI (1M in 5 days), Pokemon GO (50m downloads) TikTok (500 million in 2 years) it gives a different picture
❗ Also, the main purpose of the report is to highlight the iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) simplifies Bitcoin exposure by allowing investors to trade it through traditional brokerage accounts, avoiding the complexities of direct investment.
⚫ BlackRock launches IBIT spot bitcoin ETF in Canada
- The iShares Bitcoin ETF, which launched Monday on the TriAct Canada Marketplace LP (now Cboe Global Markets) Exchange, trades under the ticker symbol IBIT, and simply invests in its U.S. counterpart but is priced in Canadian dollars and trades on a Canadian exchange. Robert Mitchnick BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets interview can be found here BNN here https://shorturl.at/HT98Z
🟣 Sony launched Soneium, an Ethereum Layer 2 platform by Sony BSL, to simplify blockchain for creators with NFT tools and an incubator program. After four months of testing, it gained 14 million users. Built on Optimism's tech, Soneium aims to bridge Web2 and Web3, focusing on creativity, with plans to expand across Sony's subsidiaries in entertainment. Via Decrypt here https://shorturl.at/Rf2Dc

14th Jan: Blockchain DXB Podcast
🚀Bitcoin Mining Difficulty 🚀Tether relocation to El Salvador 🔮NYDFS exchange program with Bank of England 💯Loss for SEC chair Gary Gensler
❗ Bitcoin's difficulty has increased for the eighth consecutive time, driven by a rising hash rate.
- Similar streaks of positive adjustments occurred during the 2018 bear market and the 2021 bull market.
- Currently, the hash rate stands at 775 EH/s (7-day average) and is projected to reach 1 ZH/s by the next halving.
🎙️ Check out the Blockchain DXB episode today, we will share more information on this. We explain, how BTC mining works & the difficulty adjustment occurs every 2,016 blocks, recalibrating to maintain an average block mining time of 10 minutes & more
The next Bitcoin difficulty adjustment is estimated to take place on Jan 28, 2025, 07:17:40 AM UTC
🟢Tether.io and its subsidiaries are about to complete all formalities to relocate to El Salvador, following the successful acquisition of a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license and as a stablecoin issuer. Official info here https://shorturl.at/kdYrA Key highlights of this move include:
- Aligning with El Salvador’s Bitcoin-first economy to empower individuals and businesses.
- Enhancing operational flexibility to drive innovation in a supportive ecosystem.
- Establishing a headquarters in a forward-looking jurisdiction to support Tether’s long-term
🚨Crypto-Related - New York State Department of Financial Services exchange program with Bank of England
The NYDFS and Bank of England launched the Transatlantic Regulatory Exchange (TRE), enabling senior staff exchanges to share expertise in digital payments and emerging financial technologies. Starting February 2025, the program aims to strengthen global financial stability, foster regulatory collaboration, and support innovation between New York and London. Participants will return to their organizations with enhanced insights to improve digital asset regulation.
💯 Partial win for Coinbase
A federal court has ordered the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to explain why it refused to establish clear rules for crypto securities. The ruling, from a case involving Coinbase, criticized the SEC's actions as "arbitrary and capricious" and required the agency to provide a more detailed explanation. This decision, which comes as SEC Chair Gary Gensler prepares to step down, could open the door for new leadership to revise the SEC's stance on digital assets. Coinbase has been pushing for clear regulations to define whether crypto assets qualify as securities.

13th Jan: Blockchain DXB Podcast
🟠 United States of Bitcoin 👨🏼‍⚖️Biden's Stablecoin Rule 🔮 AI for Defi Cybercrime 🥭Mango Markets shutdown 🔥Bybit Temp restriction in India
🟠 United States of Bitcoin
❗ Several U.S. states, primarily led by Republican lawmakers, are exploring strategic Bitcoin reserves to combat inflation and diversify finances. Here are the states involved:
- Texas
- Pennsylvania
- Ohio
- New Hampshire
- North Dakota
💯 These initiatives propose Bitcoin investments through state treasuries, cold storage, and citizen donations, emphasizing innovation and financial security.
❗ The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposed a stablecoin rule just days before Donald Trump takes office and appoints a new agency head. Official info here https://shorturl.at/NXYkV
🔥The CFPB is seeking public input on privacy protections and consumer safeguards in digital payments, focusing on Big Tech platforms, gaming currencies, and stablecoins. The agency aims to address excessive data collection, surveillance, and personalized pricing while ensuring existing laws like the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) protect consumers from errors and fraud. Two notices invite feedback: one on financial data privacy and another on applying EFTA to emerging payment mechanisms. The CFPB is also working to prevent unfair competition from new market entrants and bolster consumer control over financial data. Comments are due by March 31 and April 11, 2025.
🔮 AI is set to enhance DeFi security by 2025, addressing cybercrime through tools like those proposed by DWF Labs' Lingling JIANG and SatLayer's Luke Xie. These systems aim to secure smart contracts and detect scams early, creating an AI-driven DeFi category (DEFAI).
🚨 Experts like Gianluca Sacco (VALR) and Hong Gyu Yea (GRVT) anticipate increased global regulatory collaboration, involving entities like ADGM, VARA, and Bermuda Monetary Authority. However, privacy concerns and KYC challenges may arise, alongside scrutiny of stablecoins and greater TradFi-DeFi integration. Interesting article via Bitcoin.com here https://shorturl.at/JGwEd
🥭 Mango Markets, a Solana-based DEX, is closing down due to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission settlement, governance decisions, and legal issues related to a 2022 exploit. On January 11, Mango Markets announced via its X account that it is "shutting down" and advised users to "close their positions." Info here https://bit.ly/3DSEav7
🟣 Bybit is temporarily restricting services for Indian users starting January 12, 2025, 8 AM UTC, due to regulatory changes. Users cannot open new trades or access products, but withdrawals remain available.

🚨 US Economic Outlook hashtag#FACT VS hashtag#FAKENEWS of Mainstream Media Interpretation
- What is it that drives the prices and the impact of Bitcoin & Cryptocurrencies?
‼️ An Assessment of the Economy and Financial Stability via the Federal Reserve Board can be found here https://shorturl.at/sZRmF Some key points are
- U.S. Economy: Strong growth (3.1% GDP in Q3) and low unemployment.
- Inflation: Down to 2.4%, but slightly above the 2% target.
- Monetary Policy: Fed reduced rates by 100 basis points since September, nearing a neutral stance.
- Financial Stability: The system is stable but risks exist, especially from private credit and stablecoins.
- Private Credit: Rapid growth ($1.5 trillion) raises concerns due to high leverage.
- Stablecoins: Popular but vulnerable to runs, with a lack of regulation.
Check out the Blockchain DXB episode we share our commentary on this.
🟢Ripple has partnered with Chainlink to enhance the utility of its USD-backed stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD), in DeFi. RLUSD pricing data, provided by Chainlink Price Feeds, ensures security, transparency, and reliability for use in trading, lending, and more. This collaboration aims to scale RLUSD adoption, supporting instant, low-cost transactions and strengthening its role in both institutional and decentralized markets.

Convicted of filing false tax returns and structuring cash deposits tied to $3.7 million in Bitcoin sales, Ahlgren was sentenced to two years in prison and must pay $1 million in restitution. The court also barred him and associates from transferring assets without approval, allowing funds only for living expenses. This precedent-setting case highlights sophisticated techniques Ahlgren used to obscure blockchain transactions, signalling an enforcement-heavy approach to crypto regulation amid a lack of clear U.S. legislation. news via Decrypt here https://shorturl.at/E1TBU
