Binance CEO 'CZ' On "The Showdown Over Crypto & Disruptive Technologies" At Bloomberg Economic Forum 2021...

Regulators from all around the world are pursuing the crypto business. China has deemed all cryptocurrency transactions unlawful and has forbidden cryptocurrency mining. The European Union is developing a framework for crypto issuers and service providers to be licensed. 

In the United States, SEC head Gary Gensler seeks authority over a sector he refers to as the "Wild West." All of this regulatory concern comes at a time when digital assets are becoming increasingly popular. Bitcoin has been widely accepted. The launch of the Bitcoin ETF in the United States is a watershed moment.

When Eric Adams, the recently elected mayor of New York, takes office in January, he plans to collect his first three paychecks in Bitcoin. Is a showdown is on the horizon?

There's a MULTITUDE Of Reasons Why Bitcoin and Ethereum Just Broke New All Time Highs...

Cryptocurrencies are off to a good start this week.

Ether, the world's second-largest digital currency, rose more than 4% in 24 hours on Monday to a new all-time high of $4,700. According to Coin Metrics statistics, the token was last trading at $4,740.

Bitcoin, meanwhile, rose 7% to $66,250, edging closer to a record high of $66,900 established in late October.

The reason for the relocation was unclear. Cryptocurrencies are notorious for their extreme volatility, with price fluctuations of up to 20% higher or lower being very usual.

A $70,000 price for bitcoin now "seems imminent," according to Mikkel Morch, executive director of crypto hedge fund ARK36.

"Importantly, the increase does not appear to be driven by leverage, but rather by increased demand on the spot market, where there is currently very little sell-side liquidity," Morch wrote in an emailed note on Monday.

DeFi

It comes as interest in DeFi grows, but regulators have recently taken notice, and experts have warned that a crackdown is on the way.

Ethereum also serves as the foundation for several nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, which act as digital receipts for rare commodities such as online art.

This year has witnessed a surge in activity, with one token selling for a record $69 million at Christie's.

Even yet, either has some stiff competition. Rival tokens like as solana and cardano have seen significant price increases this year.

Investors Turning to Bitcoin as Hedge Against Inflation - Billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones Explains Why...


Billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones says cryptocurrency right now is a better hedge against inflation than gold.

"It would be my preferred one over gold at the moment" Jones said "Clearly, there’s a place for crypto. Clearly, it’s winning the race against gold at the moment."

Jones, a bitcoin and crypto bull, also told CNBC he’s very worried about rising inflation, saying it’s posing a major threat to the U.S. financial markets and the recovering Covid-hit economy."I’ve got crypto single digits in my portfolio" Jones said, referring to the percentage of his holdings in cryptocurrencies.

Back in June, Jones told CNBC that bitcoin is a great way to protect his wealth over the long run, calling the world’s biggest crypto a store of wealth like gold.

Gold as an investment that hedges against inflation would generally rise along with the rapid growth in consumer prices. Gold lost 8% over the past 12 months compared with bitcoin’s 437% one-year gain.

Often referred to as digital gold, bitcoin was also designed as a payment system, though its adoption as money to pay for things has been slow due to the volatile nature of the digital coin.

Essentially flat earlier in the morning, bitcoin moved higher after Jones’ crypto remarks. It hit a new all-time high above $66,000 on Wednesday, rising above April’s record.

Bitcoin struggled over the summer, trading briefly below $30,000 before turning higher again in advance of the launch of the first U.S. bitcoin-linked exchange-traded fund.

The ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF jumped 4.8% in Tuesday’s debut session and another 3% on Wednesday. The ETF tracks bitcoin futures, or contracts speculating on the future price, rather than the cash price.

Jones said he’d rather own bitcoin itself than the futures-tied ETF. However, he said the ETF will do fine and investors should "take great comfort" that it’s been approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
