🚨 UK’s Digital Pound Legislation (CBDC) 🔻 OKB Token’s 50% Drop🔻 Tesla’s #BTC HODL ❗Worldcoin Orb device makeover

🏦 The UK government has announced its commitment to safeguarding privacy and maintaining control over financial transactions in upcoming legislation related to the development of a digital pound. The response was provided as part of the consultation conducted by the government’s finance ministry and the Bank of England on a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The consultation, which concluded in June and received over 50,000 responses, highlighted privacy and financial control as key concerns among participants. Detailed info here https://lnkd.in/dFbsRJNY Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts we share our commentary on this

💥 OKB, the native token of the crypto exchange OKX, saw a sudden and drastic drop in value on Tuesday. The token plunged by more than 50% to a low of $25 in just three minutes before stabilizing. Executives from the exchange said they were investigating the root cause behind the abnormal price fluctuation, later issuing an update on X suggesting that the volatility was triggered by liquidations that were set off when the price moved lower after a general decline in the market. Info via Samyuktha Sriram on *unchainedcrypto* Official tweet https://lnkd.in/dAwhwzjU

🚨 The good news is The platform will fully compensate users for additional losses caused by abnormal liquidation, including pledge lending/margin trading/cross-currency transactions.

🚗 Tesla holds over 9,720 BTC, equivalent to $387 million, making them the third-largest public holder of Bitcoin. They follow MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Marathon in Bitcoin holdings. Tesla’s Bitcoin portfolio remained unchanged in Q4, as the quarterly report did not mention any buying or selling activities in the three months ending September. Info via CoinDesk https://lnkd.in/dZ_XtS39

🌍 Worldcoin’s Orb device, known for its futuristic design, is set to receive an upgrade in the first half of this year. The new Orb will have alternative colours and a more toned-down appearance, resembling an Apple product. The next iteration will look similar to an “Apple product,” CEO and co-founder of Tools for Humanity, shared exclusively with TechCrunch. here https://lnkd.in/dXZB9SFy

According to a tweet by Bloomberg’s Senior Litigation Analyst, Elliot Z. Stein, he assesses a 70% chance of victory for Coinbase in its motion to dismiss all claims made by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This evaluation follows the oral arguments presented by Coinbase on Wednesday. He highlighted how Judge Katherine Polk Failla wanted the SEC to provide a definition of “investment contract” that wouldn’t ultimately encompass innocuous collectable items such as Beanie Babies.

🔥SEC vs Ripple ❌CBDC as money rejected by US Senators (Republicans) 🚨 Thai SEC Rejects Bitcoin ETF 💡Europe guidance to Crypto.

🔥 In a filing made on January 11, here https://lnkd.in/dBfXSVbM the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Commission (SEC) has escalated its legal efforts against Ripple Labs, Inc., aiming to enforce the production of essential financial documents. This development is a continuation of the ongoing legal dispute that began in December 2020, where the SEC asserted that Ripple’s XRP sales amounted to unregistered securities offerings. The regulatory body is specifically requesting financial statements for the years 2022 and 2023 as part of its pursuit in the legal case against Ripple.

❗ The SEC contends that these documents and the ‘interrogatory’ are crucial for Judge Torres to make informed decisions on potential relief, including injunctions and civil penalties. The regulatory body asserts that the financial information requested is fundamental for tailoring a penalty that would effectively deter future violations.

💰 CBDC as money?
❗ Several bills in the US Senate are challenging the classification of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as ‘money.’ These legislative proposals have the potential to pose substantial obstacles to the development and implementation of a CBDC in the United States. Cointelegraph article confirms Bills against referring to central bank digital currency (CBDC) as money have been filed in the states of Utah, South Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee. The bills would exclude a CBDC from the definition of money and could create significant roadblocks to a CBDC in the United States. https://lnkd.in/dFZwjbKN. State Senator frank niceley introduced a bill to the Tennessee Senate on Jan. 12. https://lnkd.in/dgiBguPC

🚨 Republican Senators — Not in favor of CBDC as money

💡 Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand has rejected Bitcoin ETFs, but brokerages in Thailand are promoting overseas investments in these products. The Thai SEC states that Bitcoin ETFs, approved in foreign markets, are in the early stages and may lack direct economic value for the Thai market’s appropriateness.

🚨 The European Banking Authority (EBA) extended its Guidelines on money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) risk factors to crypto-asset service providers (CASPs).

🔻 US Bitcoin ETFs’ Failed on the Expectations, 2-Day Net Inflows at $819 Million. 11 Bitcoin ETFs have traded on the US exchanges, and the numbers have been disappointing. Finance Magnates article here states The ten newly listed Bitcoin ETFs attracted only $1.4 billion in new funds within two days. Despite the anticipation surrounding their launch, none of the recently introduced Bitcoin ETFs achieved top rankings among US ETFs based on their initial success. There have been notable outflows from Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF, with a conversion from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust resulting in a $579 million outflow. Additionally, the BITO futures ETF experienced $151 million in outflows. Despite these outflows, the overall net inflows in Bitcoin ETFs over two days amounted to $652 million. It’s worth noting that the net spot Bitcoin ETF inflows specifically were $819 million during this time frame. Article here https://lnkd.in/dhnnHPh9

🚨BlackRock backs Ether ETF? 🔻GameStop shut downs NFT marketplace❗ India blocks Binance, OKX 🔥CoinShares acquires Valkyrie Funds

🔥 BlackRock CEO Larry Fink supports the idea of an Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) shortly after the Bitcoin (BTC) ETF launch. In a CNBC interview, (the woke master plan) Larry Fink sees value in an Ethereum ETF as a key step toward wider tokenization trends in finance. His endorsement reflects confidence in the ongoing shift towards digital assets and blockchain technology. Fink’s remarks highlight the growing significance of cryptocurrencies in traditional financial markets. Interview via YouTube here http://tinyurl.com/4m3w8nkk

- Bitcoin ETF approvals are ‘stepping stones’ towards tokenization

- It is an asset that protects human

- ETF is step one, Tokenization is next

🔥 GameStop, the gaming retailer, has issued a warning to its users about the upcoming discontinuation of its non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace next month, citing regulatory uncertainty. In a statement posted on the GameStop website, users were informed that they have slightly over two weeks left to utilize the NFT platform. Despite the decision to reduce its involvement with crypto, GameStop assured NFT holders that this move will not have any adverse effects on their NFTs. Official pop-up message via https://nft.gamestop.com/

“Effective as of February 2, 2024, customers will no longer be able to buy, sell or create NFTs. Your NFTs are on the blockchain and will remain accessible and saleable through other platforms.”

💡 Google’s Play Store in India has taken down the Binance and OKX cryptocurrency exchange apps. This action mirrors a similar move made by Apple’s App Store in India back in December 2023. This is in response to a noncompliance notice from the government Important to note Binance application and website are still available and working for existing users.
