The Federal Reserve singled out a surge in crypto asset prices for the first time in its overall assessment of the stability of the financial system, saying the rise reflected increased risk-taking by investors.

The brief comment, contained in the Fed’s semi-annual Monetary Policy Report to Congress released on Friday, is the latest sign that policy makers are paying more attention to what used to be a tiny sliver of the financial system.

If you’ve heard of any cryptocurrency exchange, it’s probably Coinbase. Bitcoin early adopters have been buying and trading coins on Coinbase since 2012, but the platform gained mainstream attention in 2021 when it became the first crypto exchange to go public on the Nasdaq.

Today, more than 56 million users are trading over $300 billion worth of cryptocurrency on Coinbase each quarter. It has the third-highest trade volume of all exchanges, according to crypto data firm CoinMarketCap.

One could hardly accuse Bitcloud’s developers of lacking ambition. The small team wants to decentralise the Internet, and possibly even replace much of the Internet infrastructure we use today.

It’s quite a goal, and to make it all come together the founders will need quite a few backers, but the concept is rather interesting to say the least. Instead of using processing power to move around digital currencies, Bitcloud wants to use a very similar method to provide Internet services.

Instead of mining cryptocoins, Bitcloud miners (if you can call them that) would allocate their hardware resources to other uses: providing storage, computing or routing. They would be rewarded for their efforts, depending on how much bandwidth or storage they contribute.

Visa said its customers spent more than $1 billion (roughly Rs. 7,480 crores) on its crypto-linked cards in the first half of this year, as the payments processor takes steps to make crypto transactions smoother.

The company said it was partnering with 50 cryptocurrency platforms to make it easier for customers to convert and spend digital currencies at 70 million merchants worldwide.

The move is in line with Visa's broader acceptance of digital currencies. In March, the company announced it will allow the use of the USD Coin to settle transactions on its payment network.

Bitcoin update

BTC made another attempt at moving upwards on July 8 but created another long upper wick. It has fallen slightly since, so far reaching a low of $32,530.

It has been trading relatively close to this level since June 21.

Technical indicators are undecided. The RSI is at the 50-line and the Stochastic oscillator is undecided between making a bullish or bearish cross. Similarly, the MACD has lost its strength but is still positive.

BTC is still trading inside the same range between $31,300 and $40,550. The latter target is the 0.382 Fib retracement resistance level.

China’s central bank said Tuesday it had called for the shutdown of a company that “was suspected of providing software services for virtual currency transactions.”

The statement, issued by the Beijing office of the People’s Bank of China, also warned institutions not to provide other services related to virtual currency, including providing business premises or marketing.

Global cryptocurrency groups are expanding their presence in Singapore, drawn by the city-state’s friendly regulatory environment as other markets crack down on the industry.

Among the executives to move to the Asian financial hub are Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, a crypto exchange that processes trillions of dollars in trades per year. Gemini, a US exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, is also boosting its headcount in Singapore.

The city has yet to issue licences to cryptocurrency companies, but it has granted exemptions to some of the industry’s biggest players, allowing them to serve local retail and institutional investors.

German funds aimed at institutional investors can now allocate up to a fifth of their assets to cryptocurrencies, but managers are expected to take a cautious approach as they weigh the risks of placing client money in the ultra-volatile asset class.

The new rules, which were enacted at the start of July, come as Germany’s financial watchdog BaFin attempts to balance its concerns about what it has described as the “highly risky and speculative” nature of cryptocurrencies with its desire to encourage the development of new technologies that could have a significant effect on financial services.

Nigeria’s regulators tried to crack down on cryptocurrency. Now, a few months later, it’s clear their efforts haven’t worked. The nation is a prime example of how people will turn to crypto to cope with a struggling economy despite the prohibitive stance of the state.

In February, the Central Bank of Nigeria ordered banks to “identify persons and/or entities” who were conducting transactions in crypto or running crypto exchanges and “ensure that such accounts are closed immediately.” But that ban didn’t stamp out bitcoin in Nigeria. Rather, the crypto community turned to peer-to-peer trades, or sending payments directly to each other.

With the pandemic creating public and business uncertainty around the globe into its second year, it stands to reason that unsteady sentiment shows itself as volatility in the marketplace. Keeping a close eye on your investments or potential investments is crucial to the success of your portfolio. That holds true for any asset, including cryptocurrencies, which have increased in popularity as quarantined individuals dip their toes in the market.

But how do you choose investments and decide how long to hold them when the marketplace is unpredictable? One of the keys to managing your holdings lies in your ability to diversify effectively.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices struggled to find direction in June after moving sharply lower through April and May.

The bitcoin price, down almost 50% from its peak of around $65,000 per bitcoin set in April, has managed to hold above the closely-watched $30,000 level—but has failed to make convincing gains.

Now, with around $1.5 billion worth of shares in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) hitting the market on July 18—something JPMorgan named as a downside risk for the bitcoin price—researchers at U.S. crypto exchange Kraken have predicted the looming Grayscale unlock could be "positive for the bitcoin price."

Cryptocurrency is often described as “digital money.” This description may be true, but it fails to capture what makes cryptocurrency unique and so appealing to many investors.

What is cryptocurrency?

At its core, cryptocurrency is a system of value. When investors buy a cryptocurrency, they are betting that the value of that asset will increase in the future, just as stock market investors buy securities when they believe the company will grow and share prices will increase.

Here’s the theory: Instead of linking carbon and biodiversity credits to the sale of raw materials such as forests, which cause CO2, what if you linked them to crypto tokens, and thus kept these CO2-producing materials in the ground?

That’s the theory behind Single.Earth, which has now raised a $7.9 million seed funding round led by Swedish VC EQT Ventures to, in its own words, ‘tokenize nature’. Also participating in the round was existing investor Icebreaker, and Ragnar Sass and Martin Henk, founders of Pipedrive. The funding will be used to launch its marketplace for nature-backed MERIT tokens.

Single.Earth says its ‘nature-backed’ financial system will use using MERIT tokens. Given the market for carbon credits is estimated to be worth more than $50 billion by 2030 and crypto surpassed a $2 trillion market cap in 2021, their plan might just work.

Hedge fund firm Marshall Wace is plotting investments in the digital asset sector, say people familiar with its plans, as booming interest in cryptocurrencies and related technologies lures large asset managers.

The London-based group, which manages $55bn in assets, will target investments in areas such as blockchain technology, payments systems for digital currencies and stablecoins, according to one of the people. The group is launching a portfolio that will scoop up stakes in privately owned digital finance companies that are at a late stage in their development, the person said.

China’s ban on block reward mining is taking its toll on the digital currency markets. Over 50% of the hash rate that supports digital currency networks comes from China, and the abrupt government crackdown on mining has caused hash rate to leave digital currency networks in exodus.

Although the drop in hash rate will have a negative consequence on the digital currency markets in the short term, there are a few positive externalities that will come out of this event.

In this article, we will provide a brief summary of the mining ban taking place in China, and then we will take a look at the negative and positive outcomes created by the ban.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 2) – The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) wants to be front and center when regulators give the go signal for the trading of cryptocurrencies.

The local bourse should be the exchange platform for crypto assets, PSE president and CEO Ramon Monzon said Friday. The idea was broached during a top management meeting two weeks ago, he added.

"If there should be any exchange for cryptos, it should be done at the PSE. Why? Number one, it's because we have the trading infrastructure. But more important, we'll be able to have investor protection safeguards especially with a product like crypto," Monzon said.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and ether are digital assets, but very few crypto trading platforms are listed, like Wall Street's Coinbase.

AT THIS VERY moment, a ransomware assault is hitting hundreds of businesses across the US. The incident appears to be the result of a so-called supply chain attack; hackers were able to push malware to victims through legitimate IT management software from a company called Kaseya. Making matters worse, REvil ransomware operators hit what's known as “managed service providers,” which provide IT infrastructure and support for companies who would rather outsource that sort of thing. When hackers compromise an MSP, it's usually quick work to infect their customers as well, making the scale of this campaign “monumental,” in the words of one cybersecurity professional.
