https://cointelegraph.com/news/federal-reserve-s-fednow-will-integrate-with-metal-blockchain"The Federal Reserve’s forthcoming instant payment service FedNow will be connected to Metal Blockchain, according to a May 11 announcement from the Metal Blockchain team. The announcement said that the integration will allow Metal users to instantly convert funds to stablecoin and back again using FedNow’s “send/receive” function. FedNow is an instant payment system developed by the United States Federal Reserve. It allows for round-the-clock, near-instant payments between banks. Currently, U.S. residents can only make instant payments domestically through third-party apps such as PayPal and Venmo, or crypto wallets. The Federal Reserve has stated that the new service will launch in July. Metal Blockchain is a crypto network developed by Metallicus, based on a fork of Avalanche's code. It was created to offer compliance-friendly options for decentralized finance (DeFi) developers. In the May 11 announcement, Metal developers claimed that the network is “built on the foundation of BSA [Bank Secrecy Act] Compliance,” implying that it has identity verification and Anti-Money Laundering features built in."

@zasad@. Centers for cryptocurrencies in other countries. This does not solve the problem of regulatory inclarity for the people who want to invest and use the cryptospace in America. It also appears that it is not only the businesses that are focused on the cryptospace that want regulatory clarity. The US chamber of commerce has filed a brief questioning the SEC for acting unlawfully vs. Coinbase. The SEC’s actions are not just harmful policy; they are unlawful; and the consequences of the SEC’s continued delay are severe for that reason too.
The SEC’s unwillingness to announce the rules of the road ex ante, combined with its use of enforcement actions to impose or threaten liability ex post, conflicts with the Due Process Clause and basic principles of administrative law. And the SEC’s continued inaction on Coinbase’s rulemaking petition compounds these violations.Source https://www.uschamber.com/assets/documents/U.S.-Chamber-Amicus-Brief-In-re-Coinbase-Third-Circuit.pdfLet me tell you my opinion, if I'm wrong, then you tell me where I'm wrong. In the US, democracy, they do not have bribes, but there is lobbying. Binance in the US is declared a criminal and almost an accomplice of terrorists, so many officials are afraid to lobby for the interests of this company. The Coinbase exchange has a lobby, so they influence the SEC from different angles. This is how American democracy works. The argument is on regulatory clarity and how the SEC does not have a clear definition on what is an illegal security on much of the projects in the cryptospace. Also, you mention lobbying. Coinbase can lobby to influence the SEC, however, why is the SEC suing Coinbase based on accusations that cannot be backed because uncle Gary does not have the regulatory structure to bring these cases to completion? The SEC disagrees with your opinion. They believe they are acting in accordance with US law. Many projects preferred to negotiate with the regulator and pay fines. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/coinbase-request-clarity-crypto-rules-112808455.html?Coinbase Request for Clarity on Crypto Rules ‘Should Be Denied’, Says SEC I have not read all the news today, and I will probably update the post. But I don't see any information that the SEC is suing. While I see a circus with a petition. And while this is happening, secret negotiations are underway. |

Hi Sir,
My PayTM account was blocked due to WestBengal Cyber Cell for the similar reason in this thread. I am from TamilNadu.
When you say "Contact Local Lawyer", do you mean I should contact a lawyer in TN or lawyer in West Bengal?
I have also PM'd you regarding the same.
Thank you in advance.
Its always better to hire a lawyer in the same state from where the complaint came from. Do you have different tax laws in each state? In my country, for example, the activity of a lawyer is licensed and controlled by the Bar Association, in which he will then work. If you need help in another region, the board will find a lawyer. At the first stage, as a rule, telephone conversations or correspondence via mail are required. Any lawyer can do this, the main thing is that he has experience in such cases. It is he who should contact the bank, sort out the problem and offer options. |

https://www.binance.com/en/news/flash/7541996https://twitter.com/ArkhamIntelArkham tweeted that the U.S. government currently holds more than $6 billion worth of bitcoin on-chain. "The bitcoins they held were seized from three incidents: 69,370 bitcoins were seized from Silk Road in 2020; 94,640 bitcoins were seized from Bitfinex hackers in 2022, and Silk Road hacker James Zhong was seized in 2022. There are 51,326 bitcoins (9,861 have been sold and 41,500 are left). The U.S. government announced plans to sell these bitcoins in batches in 2023." __ They picked the wrong time  selling bitcoin that don't belong to them imo is an unethical act, and what are they going to do with the money from selling the bitcoins....to pay off debts? to fund the next presidential campaign? or something else? if they want to make FUD then the method is completely wrong, the news of the sale of large amounts of Bitcoin will only reduce the sympathy of many people for the US Government, and everyone will think badly of all the catches they managed to get. All money confiscated from criminals in the US will go to the country's budget, and I don't think it's unethical. This is the policy in all countries. For the American budget, this is a small amount, and for the bitcoin market, the sale of 200,000 coins can collapse prices in the market greatly. But if they sell in parts, then this does not seriously affect the prices in the market. |

I just found this global bitcoin adoption country list rankings in 2022. Happy to see that Pakistan is listed at the Number 6 position. Although the legal status area is grey if you ask about the adoption at the government level, but our youth is very much involved in bitcoin.
Look like the government changes in Paksitan in last few months have not been good for the crypto adotption in our country. The minister of state Aisha Pasha has stated in here that Cryptocurrencies in Pakistan willl never be legalized. Well, she will not going to remain the finance minister forever and the stance can be changed with the passage of time but right now it seems that Pakistan will ban crypto from thier country and they will do it by banning the crypto apps through the Internet. The Senate’s Standing Committee on Finance has decided to ban cryptocurrency services in Pakistan from the country’s Internet. Maybe they do not know that crypto sites can be opened through VPN but by declaring it illegal and banning it, may spread disappointed amoung the crypto investors and they may start to think in investing in something other than crypto. There are a lot of bans in Russia, and even this forum is banned, so everyone uses VPN, and our community is big. Cryptocurrencies are not prohibited, but they will not be allowed either, and this does not stop anyone from investing and gaining knowledge. Cryptocurrency is a global trend of the last decade, and you need to invest only in such trends if you want to make good money. Prohibitions are also different, and the main thing is not to leave your data on centralized services. |

Легализуют ли в оплату криптой? Во многих странах есть возможность оплачивать те или иные покупки данной валютой. Как будет развиваться рынок тут, стоит ждать современного расположения позиции по данному вопросу? Есть пункты выдачи когда можешь отдать крипту и получить наличный в реальном времени. Когда ждать тут данных действий.
Не для того цифровой рубль придумали, чтобы простым гражданам крипту разрешить. При личном общении с людьми были интересы сделать в РФ российскую криптобиржу, но люди не понимают многих подводных камней, с которыми им придется столкнутся. Хотя может и сделают, но криптаны туда не пойдут. ___ Давайте с другого боку зайдем, что вы криптой платить хотите? Даже в Троне стейблы отправить стоит 10 центов, если троны залочены на энергию и пропускную способность, а без залочки комиссия до 50 центов. Платить на каждую покупку по 10-40 рублей комиссии, а сколько в год потеряйте? Бестчендж, обмен крипта на кеш ин. Это не перевод, а пополнение через банкомат. Комиссий 0 или на нал поменять и платить, если не хотите чтобы о вас знали. Нужна популярная крипта и с около нулевой комиссией для стейблкоинов за транзакцию, тогда можно обсудить Mass Adoption. |

https://www.bis.org/about/bisih/topics/cbdc/polaris.htmProject Polaris: secure and resilient CBDC systems, offline and online "As part of Project Polaris, the BIS Innovation Hub Nordic Centre has published a comprehensive handbook exploring key aspects of how central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could work for offline payments. The ability to make payments offline means being able to use a CBDC without being connected to the internet, either temporarily or because of coverage limitations. Central banks considering the potential implementation of CBDCs with offline functionality must take into account a complex matrix of issues including security, privacy, likely risks, the types of solution, their maturity and applicability, and operational factors."

Да, забавно, что СБП уже давно подготавливает дорогих россиян к цифровому рублю. Хотя фактически большинство населения мало понимает для чего нужен, к примеру, СБП и чем он отличается от обычного безнал-рубля. Де факто мы имеем уже сейчас много агрегатных состояний рубля:
1. Обычный наличный рубль.
2. Обычный безналичный рубль.
3. СБП - рубль.
4. Рубль цифровой, он же крипто.
А обычный безналичный у многих банков тоже немного свой. Допустим, Киви-рубль, мягко говоря, немного оотличается от Сбер-рубля.
Если пенсионеров, чиновников, льготников на него не переключат, то пользоваться будет мало людей. СБП отлично работает, процессинговые центры давно пора обновить на этот протокол, а то платежи в бизнесе днями идут. Чем киви от сбера отличается? |

🤔 Уважаемые форумчане! Как вы думаете, какое будущее ждёт криптовалютные обменники в России?
Расскажите о том, какое будущее ждёт криптообменники в России. Войдет ли работа криптообменников в правовое поле? Появится ли возможность официально лицензировать криптообменный бизнес в РФ? Или, быть может, в виде конкурента выступит государство, создав свою централизированную государственную биржу? Любые ваши мысли приветствуются!
Правовое поле, это банк, который проверяет паспорта, проверяет транзакции, хранит логи обменов и передает данные в Росфинмониторинг при обмене более 600 000 рублей. Адреса крупных обменников на Бестчендж, синхронно устроить облаву в крупных городах не трудно, но сколько бизнеса они завалят? Онлайн обменник, это сайт и карты дропов. С ними бороться трудно, они останутся. ___ Черный рынок будет всегда, как и менялы в каждом городе. Я догадываюсь почему не заваливают. Обменники расслабились и многие сотрудничают. Пример с гидрой, ее закрыли, на рынке борьба из десятков конкурентов и они не расслабляются. Выявлять всех игроков долго и затратно. Любой силовой метод закрытия государству даст больше проблем, чем выгоды. |

I don't think anything will happen on March 13th.
Unlike competitors who are closing business in the US, the Coinbase exchange is doing great. It is a fact.
If the Coinbase exchange is sued, then this is a different situation, but for now, the SEC has rid Coinbase of competitors in the USA
/tinfoil hat on/ Could it be that it's all just a show to kill off competition and make sure that no foreign entity (especially Binance) gets any significant share of the crypto market? Coinbase is also active in expanding its overseas operations, the question is whether they do that just to grow, or as a hedge against a potential heavy crypto crackdown in the US. And I wouldn't say they're doing that great. In the first quarter of 2023, they recorded an operating loss of £124m and a net loss of $79m. Unless we look at their (non-statutory) adjusted EBITDA, which is looking pretty good: +$284m Vs. +$20m (first quarter of 2022). I recently found this information. The SEC has been interpreting the law to their advantage for many years. Let's see what happens with this petition. https://in.investing.com/news/cci-files-an-amicus-brief-on-sec-seeking-response-to-coinbases-petition-3641431"Though receiving five rulemaking petitions from Coinbase over the past 5 years, SEC ignored responding for their Securities and Exchange Act clarity. So far, there is no proper approach initiation to rulemaking policies from SEC. By withholding the petition, SEC thwarts the regulation-by-enforcement actions awarding judicial review. Seeking Clarity From SEC Since the SEC lacks regulatory clarity, several U.S.-based organizations might shift their jurisdictions with the clarified frameworks to other countries possibly. Meanwhile, the countries like European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) work towards the active participation of technical leadership seeking foster innovation and safeguard market participants. To mention, the EU has cleared the ‘Markets in Crypto Act’ recently. " |

LOL. I told you that in Montenegro they will replenish the country's budget at the expense of Do Kwon's money. What do you think, what was the amount of the bribe to achieve such a "fair" court decision?
What will happen next? He will look for a more loyal country that will not extradite him and run away from Montenegro.

It's worth to noting if staking off an exchange isn't really mean you have no risk to lose your coins because you're staking on a centralized pool where there's a chance the pool is controlled by a scam group or hacker is successfully hijacked the pool.
Any kind of staking is centralized regardless you're stake on exchange or pool with your own non custodial wallet.
I think you are wrong. If you stake coins without intermediaries, then the validator you choose cannot dispose of your coins, and even if the validator decides to leave, he will not take your coins. But stakers risk fines and slashes if the validator misbehaves. This is the order in the polkadot ecosystem, so if someone is ready to risk 100% of the coins for 10% profit per year, then he should carefully study the risks. |

Have you observed the significant number of project launches featuring the name "PEPE"? If you check the recently added list on CoinMarketCap, you'll notice that approximately 90% of the project names include "pepe." Lately, meme coins have been experiencing a remarkable surge in market capitalization. What are your thoughts on meme coins and the prevailing trend of pepe-related projects? Personally, I wasn't initially a fan of meme coins, but it appears that they have gained considerable hype. I'm curious to know your opinion on meme coins as well. Have you invested in any of them?
The fate of the pepe token and its clones will be the same as that of the meme token MEME or how to attract new hamsters September 10, 2020 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5274841You need to invest in such projects at the very beginning, but there are always risks, one hundred of your tokens will be blocked. https://twitter.com/0xCygaar/status/1654495301393174530Guys, you have no chance to beat the casino. |
