Less Regulations Coming!

[BenCodie]

I look forward to there being a clearly defined list of what is and is not allowed. I believe that once that is in place, there development activity will skyrocket. Even though unfair decriminalization seems like a thing of the past already, anyone who is cautious is probably still not building anything too "edgy" in the current environment.

[bbc.reporter]

@BenCodie. I speculate that regularity clarity is certainly coming to the cryptospace before the ending of the Donald's presidential term. However, is this a speculation caused by wishfulness because I am an investor in the cryptospace? No hehehehe. If you read many news articles, there are some people in traditional finance that are presently having no fear to issue their own stablecoins. This is certainly a very positive sign that there will be less regulations and more clarity.



The country’s biggest bank has applied for a trademark related to digital currency with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The move has led some to speculate the application for “JPMD” reflects the bank’s growing interest in stablecoins—a type of cryptocurrency that is designed to maintain a value in line with the U.S. dollar.

The application was filed by JPMorganChase on June 15, according to the USPTO’s website. The application listed “JPMD” as a good or service that would provide “trading, exchange, transfer and payment services for digital assets,” among other categories related to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

I'm not sure that we can look at stablecoin regulation built for banks/corps and consider it the same as regulation that individual builders can follow. At least, that's what I think. I think a lot of clarity is here and now for corporations, but still for a builder who is building something that is on the fringe or that is for the people, or innovative in a way that is not strictly within the stablecoin regulation scope, it is still a fearful realm and not entirely clear. If I'm wrong, I do want to be corrected here of course! Though afaik, it's still unclear for the individual builder.

[btc-freedom-money]

what is the point if the stable coins are tied to fiat and regulated like fiat? We might as well use fiat then.

I also want to be corrected! I am wishfully hoping that this will be good for the whole cryptospace including the small minnows with small investments. However, what we can be certain on is this will bring more inflows of dollars in the cryptospace which might also bring a pump on many for our investments heheheh.

In any case, a stablecoin bill appears to be a certainty to he signed into law this year.



US Senators on Tuesday passed landmark stablecoin legislation designed to register and regulate US issuers of dollar-backed crypto assets.

The bill, dubbed the Genius Act, now heads to the House of Representatives, where lawmakers have been working on their own stablecoin bill, the Stable Act.

House lawmakers could attempt to reconcile the two bills, or fold the Genius Act into a crypto mega-bill known as the Clarity Act.

Don't get your hopes up. It's more likely or banks and financial institutions to keep stablecoins within the stablecoin sector. Worse, firms that are permitted to be involved in the market will likely conduct themselves in a way that negatively impacts Bitcoin more than it impacts it.

I do think that eventually we will see higher than the recent all time high though I think there will be some curve balls thrown by institutions of trust until then. Though I'm a bit of a pessimist, maybe I'm wrong and they all ape their stablecoins into Bitcoin

[bbc.reporter]

@BenCodie. Yes, I accept that everything I share is only speculation, this is not wishfulness heheheh.

In any case, here is more speculation hehehehehe. According to this article, institutional adoption on DeFi is growing. I speculate that the inflows through their stablecoins will be invested in a growing storyline in the cryptospace. This storyine is real world assets on the blockchain or RWA.



Institutional investors and crypto-native asset managers account for a growing share of decentralised finance users, and are increasingly shaping how onchain ecosystems develop.

That’s according to crypto data firms vaults.fyi and Artemis.xyz. On Wednesday, they offered that analysis in a new report and unpacked key trends driving the returns investors can earn through DeFi protocols.

“A more mature, resilient, and institutionally-aligned ecosystem is emerging, signalling a clear shift in the nature of onchain returns,” the report said.

Of course, we are just discussing I'm playing devils advocate in a way, just to display to the audience that these regulations are just being put in place to benefit the institutions, not necessarily to help Bitcoin or crypto with new innovative/fringe developments.

The combination of DeFi and RWA will allow institutions to create global trading and activate liquidity of their asset stockpile that right now might be hard to market and trade. BlackRock made this motivation clear when they shared their vision for RWA about a year ago and proceeded with create BUIDL, their tokenized fund which already has a $2.8 billion market cap.

Though again, this isn't encouragement for developers on the fringe who might be building protocols that involve de-banking, privacy or any of Bitcoin's traditional values. It will only allow builders to build DeFi products that are fit or RWA and that are positive for institutions to unlock liquidity of their assets. So like the stablecoin bills, the DeFi and RWA motivations are in the interests of fiat players to get liquidity of out assets they acquired with fiat, unfortunately still not too great for the builder who might be building something for the people.

It is all still positive of course, because these regulations might unlock unique creations that can fit within these frameworks. We will see!

[bbc.reporter]

@BenCodie. On RWA, it appears that the SEC's deregulation on the cryptospace will certainly help make the process on RWA adoption much quicker. It will not be very shocking when the next big storyline for the cryptospace will this as I have also mentioned before in another thread.

I reckon Blackrock will be one of the biggest participants on this. We should research where they are investing their money in the cryptospace and what projects are these heeheheh.



Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins announced a deregulation blitz dubbed “Project Crypto” on Thursday that could turbocharge the integration of traditional financial markets with blockchain technology and enable the creation of financial “super-apps.”

Atkins’ speech came a day after the president’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets unveiled a long-awaited, 160-page report recommending policies to fulfill Donald Trump’s campaign promise to make the US the “crypto capital of the world.”

@zasad@. This is very much the opposite on what has occurred on the sleepy Joe Biden administration. We have not witnessed a government that has given much support for the cryptospace before this, however, why are we not witnessing the same type of pumps similar to the pumps of the bull markets before? Why do cryptocoins dump easily?

I speculate that only a small type of bad news might cause this to become a bear market. We are only a few months from December and Ethereum has not pumped to an all time high hehehe.

Because this is not the cycle of altcoins, it is the cycle of bitcoin treasury companies. The ones that are growing at crazy rates are the low-cap bitcoin treasury companies that come out every week. I hope this cycle is the beginning of the end of the madness of tens of thousands of shitcoins that are useless, and that only a few remain.

I'm not sure this is the end of the bull market. Most Bitcoin buyers are now making a big profit.
I expect a quick altseason, but not for all coins, only for those coins that the manipulators managed to buy. This could all take a month.

It is the same argument on bitcoin market or altcoin market. After witnessing all these good news from the American government, bitcoin should have pumped to more than $200k already. I would also argue that if these good news occurred on 2021, we would have witnessed bitcoin pump to more than $150k. However, the present bull market is very headshaking like there is something trying to stop the big pump from happening.

@zasad@. Agreed! This market has been much more difficult for traders to get a profit. I reckon this might be why many people are easily triggered hehehehe.

[bbc.reporter]

News update.

It appears that the Donald will begin signing an executive order that will end the sleepy Joe administration's operation chokepoint 2.0 where banks were encouraged to stop their clients from any transactions that are related to the cryptospace. If they do not comply, these clients will be banned from using the bank.

This is another type of news that would have pumped bitcoin and the whole of the cryptospace. However, the strangeness of this present market appears to have ignored the news.



President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to sign an executive order directing banking regulators to investigate claims of debanking made by the crypto sector and conservatives.

Crypto industry executives have long alleged that the Biden administration conspired to cut crypto off from the financial system by using regulators to pressure banks into shirking clients involved in digital assets.

The reported draft order directs bank regulators to scrap any of their policies that may have contributed to banks dropping some customers, such as crypto firms.

News update.

..

This is a logical step if Trump wants to increase the number of stablecoins and, accordingly, treasury holders. If banks do not facilitate this, the process will be very slow.

Treasuries are bonds for which new money is printed. Due to this multiplier, inflation will grow in the world. America will receive cheap loans, and the whole world will pay for this with inflation.

[bbc.reporter]

@zasad@. We cannot be quite certain if this will be facilitated by the banks slowly or quickly, however, there is very much a chance that the bank that will facilitate this quickly be one of the first to issue will have certain advantage over their competitors.

On inflation and letting the world pay for this, this has occurred very much before stablecoins and before the cryptospace. What this might bring to the world is the dominance of the American dollar to a new high. China might not have a choice and use a dollar stablecoin in the cryptospace hehehe.

I would argue that we are not in a bull market per se, which is characterized by a parabolic phase, and we have not reached that point yet. If the year ends and it has not happened, I will start to think whether to believe in conspiracies or not, but for now, no.

Firstly, we cannot be sure what the next president's policy will be, because according to US law, Trump cannot be president for more than 8 years.
As long as the US consumes a quarter of the world's products and raw materials, the dollar will be the first currency in the world.
If this figure is compared with Russia, China and India, we will see that China consumes 18-20%, India 7-8% and Russia 2-3%.
China has every chance of overtaking the US.

I am not quite certain what your definition of a bull market should be, however, bitcoin has been going up since 2023. I reckon bull market does not need to be a parabolic phase which in reality this parabolic phase is a warning that it is becoming an overinflated market bubble that might have a bubble pop soon.

In any case, similar argument whether you agree that this is a bull market or not. The present behavior of the market is not similar to what we have witnessed before.
