USA Money Monitor: Bitcoin is not prohibited in the states
“We are based on understanding the essence of the matter and do not want to“ pick up ”a cryptocurrency, and it is not less important for us to develop networks that use bitcoin and other things. Until then, we will preempt money laundering and financing the theory. "
The upcoming Squawk Box program Melissa Lee quoted a series of tweets posted recently by Coinbase CEO Brian Apmctrong:
“We have heard rumors that the US Ministry of Finance and the Minister of Finance of the United States of America are urgently planning to adopt a number of new rules, which are good examples of the most common I am sure that this measure may have undesirable side effects, and would like to share with you these problems. "
Brooks did not directly disprove the rumors, but noted that the regulating bodies really want to "bring everything to mind." He also added that "there is a balance in the system, and it will work for everyone."
On the direct question of whether there will be any new rules by the end of the time of Donald Trump, the official added that "we are hearing a lot of good words."
“Trust me, you will hear very positive messages. At the same time, we honestly say that there are many dangers in our world. But no one is going to prohibit either bitcoins or the corresponding data transfer technologies, "he consoled the audit.
At the end of November, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Jay Kleiton, announced that bitcoin could slide with more adjustments to the adjustment.
“I think this question will come up soon, and more regulatory norms will appear in the area of payments,” added Kleiton.
Santiment analysts drew attention to the growth in the number of LINK addresses from 1000 or more coins
The accumulation of ChsinLink (LINK) tokens continues, this trend was again drawn to the attention of Santiment analysts at the end of this week. They found that over the past month, the total number of addresses with a thousand or more LINK coins has grown by 445.
The experts noted that the ongoing accumulation of cryptocurrency usually precedes a more confident growth in its value.
On Sunday, December 6, the LINK price rose to $ 13.19. Altcoin capitalization now exceeds $ 5.206 billion. The coin is located on the seventh line in the ranking of the largest digital assets CoinMarketCap.
Taking into account the current course of ChainLink, each of the "whales" controls coins worth more than $ 13,000.
Investment in this cryptocurrency has been growing over the past few months. Back in October, the Santiment team reported that in the fall a record number of LINK tokens (more than 648 million) came under the control of large players.
This strategy of "whales" suggests that they are confident in the gigantic potential of the cryptocurrency. However, the ChainLink crypto project also has opponents.
Recently, Zeus Capital has prepared a lawsuit against the developers of altcoin demanding that this project be declared fraudulent. The plaintiff's representatives attracted investors who lost their funds after their investment in LINK.
Media: G7 countries want to speed up the legalization of the cryptosphere
The G7 (G7) countries plan to accelerate the implementation of the regulatory framework to regulate transactions with digital currencies. The corresponding decision was made by the heads of the financial departments of the countries of this organization, reports Reuters.
German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz criticized the Libra crypto project, which was recently renamed Diem.
The minister said that the German government is concerned that a new instrument that may appear in the eurozone will create additional difficulties for regulators. The main danger is that the authorities lack the leverage to control token transactions due to the lack of legislation.
Scholz stressed that transactions with Deam coins will be prohibited pending legislation.
The talks between the representatives of the G7 countries were held at the initiative of the United States. The head of the Ministry of Finance of this country, Stephen Mnuchin, pointed to the rapid development of the cryptocurrency industry.
Summing up the results of the meeting, he confirmed that all the finance ministers of the G7 were in favor of an early legalization of the cryptosphere. Only in this way can the risks of the criminal use of digital assets be minimized.
The G7 countries have been watching cryptocurrencies for the past few years. The G7 fears that bitcoin and other coins could undermine the foundations of the traditional financial system.
