When it comes to the world of cryptocurrency, there is never a lack of news. In just the past week, we’ve seen Bitcoin dip back under $30,000. Analysts are calling this another sign of a bubble bursting and fear that this isn’t the only dip we’ll see in 2022. Critics continue to point at regulatory challenges as a main factor holding the market back. And now with China’s recent announcement that they will be restricting mining operations within their borders in an effort to protect their economy, there are fears that China might go so far as to ban or restrict mining activities outside of their country.

Despite concerns about China's growth, bitcoin dips back below $30,000The cryptocurrency market declined on Monday after a positive weekend, mainly due to weak Chinese economic data.

Bitcoin (BNB) and Ethereum (ETH) have suffered similar losses according to CoinMarketCap data. Solana (SOL), which topped the performance charts last year, has declined 13% on the week and nearly 60% on the year.

The Federal Reserve chairman, Jerome Powell, has predicted that additional rate hikes are likely in the coming months.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have made digital payment tokens a reality. They make it possible for users to make payments as well as for merchants to accept payments in tokens as opposed to fiat currencies. The popularity of cryptocurrencies has also led to the emergence of a lot of trading platforms and exchanges.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) granted Coinhako a full license to offer digital payment tokens (DPT) under the Payment Services Act (PSA).

In a statement, Coinhako stated that obtaining the license has always been a top priority, and that the company had worked diligently to achieve this goal.

In November last year, in-principle approval had been obtained from the regulator.

Other licenses have so far been granted by MAS to the Australian cryptocurrency exchange Independent Reserve, the brokerage arm of DBS Bank, and the QR code payment solution provider FOMO Pay.

A new report describes how cryptocurrency restrictions and Twitter's ban in Nigeria adversely affected foreign direct investment in the fintech industry and millions of Nigerians earning a living from the sector.

This report was entitled, 'Africa's Urbanization Dynamics 2022: The Economic Power of Africa's Cities'. Developed with support from the African Development Bank, the work was published under the aegis of the Secretary-General of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the United Nations Secretary-General.

Various government policies can negatively affect young people's engagement in the tech sector, the report states.

In part, the report read, "Jobs in the tech sector range from developing apps and trading digital currencies, to operating social media marketplaces and freelancing. As a result, many young people are able to plug into the global economy and make enough money to live on. Nevertheless, this involves the expense of data and devices,

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have grown increasingly popular over the last few years. While they offer many benefits, they are not accepted by all retailers. Many people believe that this will change as more and more merchants start accepting digital currency as payment. In a recent interview, billionaire investor Warren Buffett gave his thoughts on cryptocurrency and its potential to disrupt the financial industry.

He believes that it is undervalued and its acceptance will depend on its inherent value. His words should give investors and speculators pause before getting too excited about the future of digital currencies.

"Assets, to have value, they have to deliver something to somebody."

Bitcoin has always been a source of skepticism for Warren Buffett. However, the billionaire investor had the harshest words to say about cryptocurrencies over the weekend. Mr. Buffett made it clear that he opposes crypto regardless of whether people can make money off of bitcoin.

In the midst of the ongoing political tensions in Ukraine, a number of prominent experts have urged central banks and monetary authorities to adopt new monetary policies to fight the ongoing global economic slowdown.

The crisis has had a negative effect on the global asset prices and the stock market -- specifically in risky assets such as cryptocurrencies, which are seen as high-risk investments with high volatility.

Bitcoin and other digital assets saw extreme volatility in the first half of this year, when they surged in value. But since the start of Q2, the digital currency has continued to fall, reaching levels that are below where it was at this time last year. Why is this happening?

Bitcoin's Recent Volatility

The price of Bitcoin (BTC), which traded earlier Monday at its lowest point since mid-March, quickly recovered after that.

Crypto-finance firms have emerged to capitalize on the meteoric rise of digital assets as a means of payment. Some firms have even developed their own cryptocurrencies. These firms are operating in a legal gray area because cryptocurrency is not recognized as legal tender. However, the emergence of crypto-finance firms is a positive sign for the future of cryptocurrency adoption.

Crypto-finance firms help cryptocurrency users make financial transactions, such as buying cryptocurrencies or exchanging digital assets for real-world money. However, these firms often operate outside the scope of regulated financial institutions. The risks associated with these firms have lead the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to warn investors about them.

Crypto-finance firms that sidestep AML regulations are referred to as Crypto Depository Institutions or Crypto Banks. The OCC has flagged the Crypto Banks as a category of financial institutions that pose risks to the stability of

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are becoming increasingly popular. These digital currencies are called cryptocurrencies because they rely on cryptography to maintain their networks rather than a central authority. This makes them decentralized networks.

Stripe Connect is launching crypto payment capabilities to help creators, freelancers, sellers and solopreneurs get paid faster no matter where their fans are located.

More than 70 countries are supported by Stripe Connect, providing easy and secure payouts in local currencies. Some regions, however, remain out of reach because their local payment systems are complex, preventing them from participating in the digital economy.  

In the beginning, Stripe will offer payouts in USDC, a cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar. It will make it possible for many people who couldn't previously hold dollars to do so. Polygon is the network of choice because of its low fees, speed, integration with Ethereum, and broad wallet compatibility (including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Rainbow)," according to a press release emailed to PYMNTS on Friday (April 22).
