🚀 Thailand SEC Plans DLT-Based Debt Trading System
#Thailand #SEC #DLT #DebtTrading #DigitalTokens #GreenTokens #CapitalMarkets #BondTrading #FinancialInnovation #InvestorAccess #Efficiency #APIDevelopment #Securities #Liquidity #Settlement #Interoperability
According to Odaily, the Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to implement a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)-based debt instrument trading system. The initiative aims to encourage securities companies to engage in digital token trading. SEC Deputy Secretary-General Jomkwan Kongsakul stated that the regulatory body has approved four digital token projects and is evaluating two more, focusing on green tokens and investment-driven plans.
Kongsakul explained that purchasing bonds from the primary market currently takes 7-14 days before they can be traded in the secondary market. Investors face challenges such as limited access to certain products and high costs with low liquidity for some bonds. Issuers also deal with extensive manual paperwork, leading to delays and errors. Utilizing DLT is expected to enhance efficiency, streamline processes, and address obstacles in the capital markets.
The SEC aims to fully digitize the bond trading system in both primary and secondary markets, covering settlement, trading, investor registration, and return payments. Kongsakul assured that competition will remain open, allowing companies with their own DLT infrastructure to establish independent chains, provided they ensure interoperability within unified standards. Other companies can access the SEC's public chain at an affordable cost. Looking ahead, multiple trading chains may emerge, all interconnected through shared ledgers, with completion anticipated soon.
Existing financial products will be retained but converted into digital equivalents to facilitate smooth transactions on the DLT network. This approach promotes fractional trading at lower costs and enhances liquidity by introducing more participants, enabling real-time trading and reducing settlement issues.
Additionally, the SEC is developing the SEC Open API data platform to provide comprehensive data on all listed companies, aiding investors in better analysis and more informed investment decisions.#Thailand #SEC #DLT #DebtTrading #DigitalTokens #GreenTokens #CapitalMarkets #BondTrading #FinancialInnovation #InvestorAccess #Efficiency #APIDevelopment #Securities #Liquidity #Settlement #Interoperability

🚀 El Salvador Expands Bitcoin Holdings Amid Market Dip
#ElSalvador #Bitcoin #cryptocurrency #BitcoinHoldings #marketdip #NayibBukele #IMF #BitcoinInvestment #ChivoWallet #BitcoinStrategy #cryptocurrencyassets #StrategicBitcoinReserve #Cointelegraph #BTC
According to Cointelegraph, El Salvador has increased its Bitcoin reserves by purchasing 12 Bitcoin during a recent market downturn. On February 4, the country acquired 11 Bitcoin for just over $1.1 million, averaging $101,816 per Bitcoin. An additional Bitcoin was later bought for $99,114, as reported by the government's Bitcoin Office tracker. This acquisition brings El Salvador's total Bitcoin holdings to 6,068 BTC, valued at over $554 million.
The Bitcoin Office announced in a February 4 post on X that El Salvador had accumulated 21 BTC over the week, with a total of 60 BTC purchased in the past 30 days. The post highlighted the growth of the world's first Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, emphasizing El Salvador's continued success in expanding its cryptocurrency assets.
Bitcoin experienced a 24-hour low of approximately $96,000 but has since recovered to around $98,000, though it remains below its intraday high of over $100,700, according to CoinGecko data. The recent Bitcoin purchases follow a $1.4 billion financing agreement between El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last month. As part of the agreement, the government agreed to reduce some of its Bitcoin-related activities.
Changes implemented by El Salvador include making Bitcoin acceptance voluntary for the private sector and reducing government involvement in the Chivo crypto wallet. On January 29, Reuters reported that El Salvador's Congress quickly approved legislation to amend its Bitcoin laws to align with the IMF deal, which President Bukele had submitted shortly before.
Despite the IMF agreement, El Salvador's government continues to invest in Bitcoin. The day after the deal was made, the country purchased $1 million worth of Bitcoin. National Bitcoin Office Director Stacy Herbert stated in late December that the country's Bitcoin strategy remains unchanged. A spokesperson from the Bitcoin Office also confirmed to Cointelegraph that El Salvador plans to continue buying Bitcoin, with intentions to "intensify in 2025."#ElSalvador #Bitcoin #cryptocurrency #BitcoinHoldings #marketdip #NayibBukele #IMF #BitcoinInvestment #ChivoWallet #BitcoinStrategy #cryptocurrencyassets #StrategicBitcoinReserve #Cointelegraph #BTC
🚀 Gavin Wood Highlights Key Criteria for Evaluating Blockchain Potential
#GavinWood #Blockchain #Web3 #Decentralization #Resilience #Polkadot #NakamotoCoefficient #Ethereum #Solana #Performance #Generality #Accessibility #Coherence #DOT #ETH #SOL
According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder and Polkadot creator Gavin Wood recently emphasized in an interview with Forbes that blockchains lacking decentralization and resilience should not be considered part of Web3. Wood explained that assessing a blockchain's resilience often involves evaluating its level of decentralization. He identified several questions to gauge this metric: who makes protocol decisions, whether governance has clear or low entry barriers, and the Nakamoto coefficient, which measures how many parties are needed to compromise the network. Wood also highlighted the importance of more 'diffuse concepts,' such as whether a single entity can define narratives and fundamentally overshadow the ecosystem, stifling other narratives.
Wood expressed satisfaction with Polkadot's decentralization, noting that according to Nakaflow data, Polkadot currently has a Nakamoto coefficient of 149, meaning at least 149 independent validators would need to collude to compromise the network. In contrast, other major blockchains have significantly lower scores, with Solana scoring 19 and Ethereum only 2. However, Wood acknowledged that Polkadot still faces challenges with high entry barriers.
Additionally, Wood outlined five fundamental criteria for assessing blockchain potential:
1. **Resilience**: A cornerstone of Web3, resilience combines cryptography, decentralization, and game theory to protect blockchains from attacks and ensure long-term stability.
2. **Performance**: Beyond scalability, performance measures a network's efficiency in processing and completing tasks.
3. **Generality**: The ability of a blockchain to support various applications and programmability.
4. **Accessibility**: The ease with which users, developers, applications, and bots interact with the network.
5. **Coherence**: The capability of a system to maintain rapid and consistent communication within its network.#GavinWood #Blockchain #Web3 #Decentralization #Resilience #Polkadot #NakamotoCoefficient #Ethereum #Solana #Performance #Generality #Accessibility #Coherence #DOT #ETH #SOL

🚀 Bitcoin's Price Shows Technical Divergence With RSI
#Bitcoin #RSI #TechnicalAnalysis #MarketTrends #Investing #LongPositions #TradingStrategy #BTC
According to PANews, Matrixport's latest report highlights a significant technical divergence between Bitcoin's price and its Relative Strength Index (RSI). Despite Bitcoin maintaining a price above $100,000, the RSI has been consolidating, indicating a weakening momentum in the underlying trend.
Historically, strong buying opportunities have only emerged when the RSI drops to around 40% during correction and consolidation phases prior to 2024. Currently, the RSI is close to this level at 48%, but has not yet reached it, suggesting that entering new long positions might be premature. A more strategic approach would be to remain patient and wait for the optimal entry point.#Bitcoin #RSI #TechnicalAnalysis #MarketTrends #Investing #LongPositions #TradingStrategy #BTC
🚀 A16z Urges DOJ To Reconsider Accountability In DeFi Protocols
#A16z #DOJ #DeFi #cryptocurrency #accountability #softwaredevelopers #moneytransmission #Uniswap #venturecapital
According to Odaily, venture capital firm a16z has expressed that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) should cease holding DeFi protocols accountable for unlawful activities they neither incited nor controlled. The firm emphasized that imposing responsibility on individuals for systems and activities beyond their control could lead to adverse outcomes. Unfortunately, the DOJ has overlooked this distinction, attempting to hold software developers accountable for third-party actions using neutral tools they initially created but no longer control.
A16z suggests that the new U.S. presidential administration's primary policy focus on cryptocurrency should be to legally define and understand 'control' accurately. This understanding is crucial for determining whether cryptocurrency companies qualify as 'money transmission businesses,' which are subject to specific regulations and obligations. According to its official website, a16z's investment portfolio includes over 100 cryptocurrency companies, such as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.#A16z #DOJ #DeFi #cryptocurrency #accountability #softwaredevelopers #moneytransmission #Uniswap #venturecapital

🚀 Bitwise Compliance Officer Discusses SEC Developments Amid Cryptocurrency Changes
#Bitwise #SEC #Cryptocurrency #ETF #KatherineDowling #CFTC #PaulAtkins #MarkUyeda #Ripple #SOL #XRP #DOGE #Securities #MarketRegulation
According to Odaily, Bitwise's Chief Compliance Officer, Katherine Dowling, highlighted significant developments in the cryptocurrency sector as January marked the end of SAB 121 and the introduction of U.S. President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency executive order. This period also saw the formation of a new SEC task force and a surge in cryptocurrency ETF applications, making it an opportune time for insider discussions.
Dowling noted that one of the most notable changes compared to the Gensler era is the increased cooperation between the SEC and CFTC. Conversations between Bitwise and the SEC suggest that the cryptocurrency task force is "very sincere." Currently, Paul Atkins is the nominee for SEC Chair, while Mark Uyeda serves as the acting chair. Despite this, Dowling described the SEC as being in a "purgatory state," seemingly awaiting "top-level guidance" on handling lawsuits, including the case against Ripple.
Dowling questioned whether the focus is on the right issues and if there is a settlement position that could satisfy both parties involved. She pointed out that some assets, such as SOL and XRP, are "trapped like dolphins in a fishing net," being classified as securities. The SEC needs to make some "concessions" to advance these ETF proposals. She hinted that a DOGE ETF might have a clearer path since the SEC has not classified DOGE as a security.
Additionally, beyond the uncertainty of lawsuits and securities, there is the question of whether the SEC will require a "reasonably sized regulated market," historically achieved through CME-traded futures.#Bitwise #SEC #Cryptocurrency #ETF #KatherineDowling #CFTC #PaulAtkins #MarkUyeda #Ripple #SOL #XRP #DOGE #Securities #MarketRegulation
