The first main classification area will cover blockchain-powered infrastructure for decentralized apps (DApps), such as Ethereum and EOS. The second will include cryptocurrency mining activities and the third will classify blockchain cloud hosting services and cryptocurrency exchanges. The draft will see the latter treated as “regulated financial institutions”, rather than “communication vendors”, as they are currently defined.\n\nAccording to the publication, three South Korean ministries — the National Statistical Office, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Information and Communication — have been working on the final draft of the scheme since the end of June. Opinions of more than 160 institutions have been collected as part of the legislative effort.\n\n“We are considering a plan to release the standard later this month [translated from Korean],” an unnamed government official was quoted as saying. “It is difficult to talk about details.”\n\nSouth Korea is not the only country that is considering changing the way it regulates the digital assets sector. Earlier this week, local media reported that Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) might revamp the legal framework for regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges, considering them a financial product, rather than a form of payment similar to electronic money that they are currently treated as.\n\n**Easing Regulations**\nSouth Korean lawmakers and regulators appear to be easing their stance on cryptocurrencies. In May, the South Korea National Assembly proposed to lift the ban on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) in the country.\n\nThe ban, which came into force in September 2017, effectively outlawed ICOs in South Korea, following concerns over a lack of regulation and limited investor protection. However, according to recent media reports, proposals have been put forward that would see ICOs reintroduced, with new regulation and concerning domestic ICOs only.\n\nSouth Korea is among the world’s most active crypto trading markets and has seen cryptocurrencies firmly permeating into Korean society among everyday adopters and retail investors. The Asian country accounts for about 12% of trading volumes globally, according to analysts at Citi.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

CEZA stated it will strictly observe the operation of exchanges to ensure they follow the regulations.\n\n“There are many operating scammers who put an exchange with very little capital and they are victimizing investors,” CEZA Administrator and CEO Raul L. Lambino said in the statement. “We do not want the Philippines to be a haven (for scammers) even if these scams are happening abroad.”\n\nAn initial investment of USD 1 million (PHP 53 million) within two years, as well as a back office in the Philippines will be required by exchanges seeking to obtain a license. According to the law, companies will have to hire staff locally, and CEZA plans a financial technology and blockchain university to meet the needs for specialists.\n\nDespite the legalization of crypto exchanges, citizens of the Philippines will still be prohibited from trading or investing in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). The administration plans to ban the IP addresses of exchanges that offer ICO options to enforce this measure.\n\n“We are going to block them. You cannot enter the IP, you cannot invest,” said Lambino. According to the regulations, ICOs must be “asset-backed” in order to prevent scams and Ponzi schemes.\n\n**Silicon Valley of Asia**\nThe Cagayan administration hopes that with those policies the region will turn into the “Silicon Valley of Asia”, attracting foreign investments of USD 40 million in two years. According to the press release, “at least 21” offshore fintech companies have already signed memorandums of understanding with CEZA.\n\nIn April, Lambino uncovered plans to issue 10 licenses to crypto exchanges looking to invest in the Cagayan Freeport, saying they will come from Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Korea.\n\nRead more here: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

He uses some of the ideas of Richard Dawkins that “Money is a formal token of delayed reciprocal altruism.”\n\nIn his essay, Szabo states that money is a form of value measurement, which helps humans. Other value measurement forms include systems of exchange like reciprocation of favors, barter, credit, employment, or purchases. Reciprocal altruism and economics exist throughout nature because of the way how the incentives of organisms are structured. Humans throughout history have always collected and used some forms of money, even without the purpose of engaging in trade. They were collecting all kinds of collectibles (necklaces, jewelry, sea shells, stones) before the first primitive forms of money. Money improves the barter model because it is possible to make a lot of trades with money.\n\nMoney is a form of social contract, a behavior. Money is not a thing that is consumed. Money helps humans to exchange goods and services. Money should be hard to falsify, should be secure, and immune from creating fake supply. For example, gold has all those qualities and is valuable anywhere in the world. Bitcoin, similar to gold, also has these features, but it exists entirely online, which allows for anyone to transact without needing to store the gold and carry it around.\n\n**Bitcoin as Money**\n\nBitcoin (upper-case “b”) is the name of the decentralized network, which clears transactions, secures balances and produces new money, and ‘bitcoin’ (lower case “b”) is the name of the unit of account on the network. Those functions of Bitcoin make it a legitimate candidate for a medium of exchange.\n\nFor Bitcoin to become money, it will need to be a convenient medium of exchange, a durable store of value and a stable unit of account. To become all that it will need huge liquidity, and if that happens, it will create the ideal version of money superior to fiat and gold because of its rigid rules for money supply.\n\nOne of the areas where Bitcoin has a comparative advantage over fiat currencies or other media of exchange is that it is an uncensorable medium of exchange, allowing for low transaction costs. These characteristics alone can bring the needed network effect, which will increase the adoption of Bitcoin and consequently will bring more liquidity and predispose Bitcoin to become money. It all depends on the level of sustainability of the protocol and on the coming regulations.\n\n Read more here: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

The seized digital coins are Bitcoin (BTC), IOTA (MIOTA) and Stellar Lumens (XLM).\n\nThe organized crime group had been operational in Spain since 2012.\n\n“The Spanish Guardia Civil and the Austrian Federal Police, supported by Europol, have dismantled a criminal network producing and distributing synthetic drugs worldwide, known as new psychoactive substances (NPS), on the Darknet,” Europol explained.\n\n“The criminal group was also involved in money laundering their share of the profits by selling cryptocurrencies, mainly Bitcoins. More than EUR 4 500 000 in Bitcoins, IOTA and lumen was seized by law enforcement authorities.”\n\nNearly 24 hours after the Europol announcement, all three cryptocurrencies are trading in the red territory. At 13:39 UTC on Friday, the market leader BTC went down 3.46% for the last day to USD 5873 for one coin. MIOTA, ranked tenth in digital coin trading volume, and changed hand at USD 0.9, a drop of nearly 6.33%. XLM, seventh by volume, was traded at USD 0.17, down 7.99%.\n\n**The biggest Europol LSD Bust**\nAs part of the operation, the police arrested eight people, searched six houses, dismantled two synthetic drug laboratories, seized three real estate properties worth more than EUR 1 million, confiscated EUR 700 000 in cash and EUR 1.6 million from an Austrian bank account.\n\n“Drug trafficking is big business, bringing in a fifth of all profits from organised crime. The market for synthetic drugs runs into the billions of euros each year and the sophistication of producers and traffickers continues to rise,” Europol explained in a statement.\n\n“Over the last decade, illegal online markets have changed how drugs are bought and sold. Criminal activity on the Darknet has become more innovative and more difficult to predict. Darknet markets provide a largely anonymous platform for trading in a range of illicit goods and services. It is estimated that around two thirds of the offers on Darknet markets are drug-related.”\n\nIn May German authorities sold seized cryptocurrencies for EUR 12 million while this week US Department of Justice confiscated USD 20 million in digital coins from the Darknet.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Ie0Y-IDwyJM",

Deputy governor Sam Woods pointed out that digital coins are unstable and can be used for criminal activities and outlined three steps that banks, insurance companies and investment firms should undertake as precautionary measures.\n\nWoods noted that at the moment virtual currency risks are limited but financial institutions should remain cautious for their existing and future crypto exposures.\n\n“The range of products and market participants related to crypto-assets has grown quickly. In their short history, crypto-assets have exhibited high price volatility and relative illiquidity,” Woods wrote.\n\n“Crypto-assets also raise concerns related to misconduct and market integrity – many appear vulnerable to fraud and manipulation, as well as money-laundering and terrorist financing risks. Entering into activity related to crypto-assets may give also rise to reputational risks.”\n\nWhile acknowledging blockchain technology potential, the deputy used the term crypto-assets for digital coins similar to G20 terminology because “crypto-assets should not be considered as currency for prudential purposes.”\n\nWoods, who is also head of BoE’s Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), reminded financial institutions that they have fiduciary responsibilities under PRA rules such as building efficient risk and management systems. Banks, insurance companies and investment firms can meet these obligations by following three steps:\n\n1.The PRA-approved Senior (Insurance) Management Function auditor should be involved in cryptocurrency risk assessment;\n\n2.Crypto-assets activities should not encourage “excessive risk-taking”;\n\n3.Updating risk management policies and expertise for the rapidly changing cryptocurrency industry, including due diligence procedures.\n\n“Firms should conduct extensive due diligence before taking on any crypto-exposure and maintain appropriate safeguards against all the related risks,” Woods said.\n\nBank of England expects financial institutions to inform their PRA supervisory contact for any cryptocurrency exposure or activity on an ad hoc basis, together with the relevant risk assessment.\n\nEarlier this week, the international standard-setting organization Financial Stability Board, whose head is the current BoE governor Mark Carney, announced that it has developed crypto risk monitoring framework that will be presented in the upcoming July summit of G20 financial ministers and central bank governors.\n\nGet more cryptonews here: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

Crypto firms will have to fill in a form specifying, among other things, whether they have an official license, if their business is listed on a public stock exchange and what the purpose of their application is.\n\nAt the same time, organizations still cannot promote binary options and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).\n\n**Original crypto ads ban**\n\nAt the end of January, Facebook updated its advertizing strategy, prohibiting the promotion of cryptocurrencies, binary options and ICOs, as they are “frequently associated with misleading or deceptive practices”. Product manager director Rob Leathern stressed that while Facebook wants its users to be well informed about new products and services, it is concerned by the high risk of scams brought about by a large number of companies not operating in good faith.\n\nAccording to Facebook, the January ban on crypto-related adverts was “intentionally broad”, since the company needed room to refine its policy. In the months after that, other big actors, such as Google, Twitter and Snapchat, also blocked advertizing related to virtual coins.\n\n**Safety still comes first**\n\nIt took Facebook half a year to redesign its advertizing strategy. However, Leathern implies that ensuring safety has remained a core focus for the social media company. The application process is aiming to allow only eligible promoters who will not deceive users to advertize their products and services on Facebook’s platform. The product manager director said that “not everyone who wants to advertize will be able to do so”, but he did not elaborate on how exactly Facebook will determine which ads are safe.\n\nMeanwhile, Facebook has asked its users to stay alert to any potentially misleading advertisements on its pages. If a user finds a suspicious ad, they should immediately select “report ad” in its upper right corner, Leathern said.\n\nIn a wider context, news about cryptocurrency-tied scams keep raising concerns about security in the sector. Another grim report appeared on Monday, when Andrew Smith, director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection at US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said that US consumers are expected to lose USD 3 billion in crypto frauds in 2018. Virtual currency schemes have spread all over the globe and have hit both large crypto markets, like the US, and smaller ones, like Vietnam, where over USD 650 million in VND was stolen in two ICOs in April.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

The service is powered by blockchain technology and is able to process remittances faster, cheaper and more transparently than traditional money transfers, wrote Ant Financial.\n\nUsers of Alipay’s mobile application will be able to send money to GCash users in the Philippines through their smartphones. The decision to launch the digital wallet is based on the large number of Filipinos who work in Hong Kong and transfer cash to their families back home.\n\n**Service for Filipino expats**\n\nIn order to send funds across borders, individuals currently have to queue for hours at booths and fill out forms. With the new remittance service, money will be transferred within seconds at rates which will be further reduced in the coming three-month trial period, according to Ant Financial’s press release.\n\n“GCash is building a cashless ecosystem to make financial services affordable and accessible to every Filipino as we aim to provide the Philippines’ underserved market with convenient options for load top-up, remittance, and cashless payments for goods and services, among others,” commented Anthony Thomas, CEO of GCash operator Mynt.\n\nPartnering bank for the initiative is UK-based Standard Chartered Bank. Global head Lisa Robins commented that the Philippines is the third-biggest remittance market worldwide with inflows of USD 33 billion in 2017 alone and expressed her belief that the new collaboration will successfully provide banking services to the unbanked and underbanked.\n\n**Blockchain vs. crypto**\n\nThe report on the new service comes a few weeks after Ant Financial secured around USD 14 billion from Chinese and international investors. The Alibaba subsidiary said it will use the money to expand its globalization plans and develop technology, including blockchain.\n\nSpeaking on the decentralized ledger which serves as a basis for cryptocurrencies, Alibaba founder Jack Ma claimed “[b]lockchain technology could change our world more than people imagine”, Bloomberg reported on Monday. Virtual currencies and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular, however, might be powered by speculation, Ma said and added that BTC is a potential bubble.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

Significant number of blockchain businesses are focusing on mergers and acquisitions as key strategies, but there are also many who are enhancing their product portfolio, expanding geographically and increasing their blockchain capacity.\n\nThe report also noted that the level of competition is rising significantly thanks to the regular entry of new players and this trend will continue in the following years.\n\nOn the other hand, the increasing number of partnerships between blockchain companies and established “traditional” financial service providers is also driving the market growth. Another factor propelling the industry is the “enormous growth in cryptocurrency-based transactions, coupled with associated processes such as mining and hashing that require blockchain technologies”. \n\n“Additionally, the banking sectors is growing extensively with leaps and bounds, further encouraging use of recent technologies like blockchain, consequently boosting growth in the global blockchain technology market,” the report noted.\n\nAmong the main obstacles to the industry's growth is the price volatility, especially in the context of bitcoin's fall, and the consequent downgrading of other cryptocurrencies. Lack of relevant source material in some underdeveloped and remote regions is also restricting the market's growth. The high cost of setting blockchain technologies is the main difficulty for new businesses with less capital to establish themselves. However, the introduction of cost effective solutions could reduce this restraint in the future.\n\nIn terms of regional development, the North American region is grabbing the lion’s share of the revenue, mainly thanks to a strong technological infrastructure and high awareness regarding blockchain processes. However, the rising awareness of blockchain in populous countries like India and China is expected to push up growth in Asia Pacific in the coming years too.\n\nA similar report examining the blockchain industry, issued by Repotrbuyer, was more restrained in its forecasts and has said the market will be worth USD 6.2 billion by 2023.",

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ruled earlier in June that the world’s second largest cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH) is not a security because it is sufficiently decentralized. Now, how much decentralization is sufficient for a virtual asset to stay out of the regulatory radar?\n\nThe phrase “sufficiently decentralized” is described by William Hinman, head of SEC corporate finance division, as a case “where purchasers would no longer reasonably expect a person or group to carry out essential managerial or entrepreneurial efforts”.\n\n**Sufficiently decentralized**\n\nThe terminology given in the statement, although vague, means that if there is a group operating a crypto asset, the purchasers/buyers would no longer reasonably expect that group to carry out essential managerial efforts. It is unclear whether that means that the developers, or mining pools, or the nodes have to be decentralized. Also, how many pools are sufficient to be considered decentralized, or how many developers is the minimum requirement for being considered a decentralized project. Hinman gives seven legal items to help with the analysis of whether a token is a security. It is not meant to serve as a ruling and not all points need to be present in order to make a decision. According to Hinman, the list is only meant to “prompt thinking by promoters and their counsel… it is not meant to be a list of all necessary factors in a legal analysis.” He states that this list is not “intended to be exhaustive” and he does not believe “each and every one of these factors needs to be present to establish a case that a token is not being offered as a security.”\n\n\n**Is Ethereum really decentralized?**\n\nIn a recent blog post by StopAndDecrypt, he explains with many examples and arguments why he finds Ethereum centralized and why it is only going to become more centralized. The main argument that he provides is that Ethereum’s blockchain is exponentially growing, because of its uncapped blocksize limit, thus creating demand for hardware and bandwidth that far exceeds average users’ capabilities. As a result, only certain parties are able to run full nodes thus creating а premise for a more centralized network. The bandwidth problem with Ethereum is bigger than the problem with the size of the blockchain because it makes full nodes of average users impossible to sync with the network. So, almost nobody is running full nodes anymore because it is very expensive to maintain an Ethereum node. Mostly exchanges and miners run full nodes.\n\nAlso, the other implementations of Ethereum do not sync. Bitcoin in comparison has multiple full node implementations which means that different teams are developing for Bitcoin, so the protocol development is decentralized. In Ethereum, there is a creator who dictates when to have a hard fork and whether it should go proof-of-stake, for example.\n\nThe aftermath of the DAO hack can be seen as another argument about the central control in Ethereum. June 2018 is the second anniversary of the DAO hack. This can serve as a reminder of how Ethereum was two years ago. After the hack, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin instructed exchanges to halt trading of Ether and DAO tokens. There are recorded conversations with the exchanges.\n\nThose arguments are important to consider when evaluating the decentralization of Ethereum but in the end, the Ethereum blockchain the way it is now is decentralized. We can only speculate how it will be in future.\n\n**Ethereum ICO**\n\nAccording to Hinman, if there is a centralized third party, and the purchasers expect a return, then it is a security. Even though technically Ethereum’s Initial Coin Offering (ICO) was a security offering (the Ethereum team was centralized and there was no Ethereum blockchain at the time), and its investors were not accredited, it still required some technical knowledge to participate. It did require some technical expertise from the investors because they had to purchase Bitcoin and setup a wallet. So, not everyone could participate because back then there was very limited infrastructure, no hardware wallet support, just JSON files and no UI (User Interface). And most people were not expecting any return because it was one of the first ICOs. Also, the sale was a long time ago, so there might be an issue under some statute of limitations.\n\n![sec.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWfheSWAXE35fwTGL4VjofDLJouf8fcy41hELWhrokqaZ/sec.png)\n\nA contributing factor for the SEC decision was the fact that Coin Center was lobbying for Ethereum and there was no lobbying from the other side. Coin Center is a “non-profit research and advocacy center focused on the public policy issues facing cryptocurrency and decentralized computing technologies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.”\n\nIt is unclear from Hinman’s statement, whether the SEC will deal with the Ethereum ICO. The crowdsale and the Ethereum blockchain are two different things. So, we are yet to see whether the founders of Ethereum will get any punishment.\n\n**The Ethereum ICO and the ICOs of today**\n\nAn important distinction should be made between the ICOs (crowdsales) of today and those back in 2014. Betting on Ethereum in those early days was a very risky bet. Nobody would have expected it to go that far. The industry was immature and expectations of profit were unrealistic to think of. It was more of a donation and a gamble than anything else. Investing in Tezos or EOS, for example, is a completely different thing because now there are examples that investing in an ICO could be profitable. Therefore, soliciting money from investors will require KYC/AML, as we see with most new ICOs.\n\nThe people who invested in the Ethereum ICO deserve to be rewarded for the risky bet they have taken. There was no infrastructure and it was not easy for anyone to invest in an ICO.\n\nAll in all, this is good news for the cryptocurrency market because the main actors now have a better clarity regarding the regulations of ICOs, even though it is not written in stone yet. The news is bad for some of the ICOs from 2015-2016 which were not KYC compliant or did not create networks for the utility token they offered. They will likely have problems with the regulators in the coming years. And possibly those tokens will have to register as securities. Regulators also like to take their time.\n\nEthereum started as a security, and then Ether became a utility token (gas). Most of the ICOs today do not start as a utility. All ERC-20 tokens are investment contracts. If during the sale there is no network where the utility token can be used, then it is a sale of a security. Even if the underlying is not a security itself.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

They are particularly convenient for less experienced traders or for those who do not have much time to watch and analyze the markets.\n\nAccording to a report of Business Korea news outlet, quoting crypto industry sources, there has been a significant rise in the use of automated trading programs like Coinsum and Watchbot.\n\nCoinsum is developed by blockchain company Coinstream that currently operates on crypto exchanges Binance and Bithumb. Soon the software will be available for the largest South Korean exchange by volume – Upbit. According to its statistics, it had an average daily return of 1% on Binance Coinsum. On Bithumb the bot performed even better, earning its users profits of 2-3% per day on average.\n\nWatchbot, developed by Jane/KIN company, is a bit more advanced than Coinsum. It not only trades automatically, but allows users to create their own trading strategies. According to company data, in the first week of May, there were 4068 Watchbots with average weekly transactions of KRW 87 billion (around USD 77.96 million).\n\nAnother Korean company, Findexchain, recently introduced its own trading robot, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to trade the crypto markets. It is used in conjunction with Findexchain’s crypto wallet Ionia, and can run on Bithumb, Coinone, Poloniex and Bittrex.\n\nThere are other popular trading bots such as Profit Trailer, Gunbot and Coinbot24.\n\nAccording to the media report, however, the rise of the trading bots is causing some security concerns. “Both cryptocurrency exchanges and automatic trading bot service providers are double-encrypted with API Key and Secret Key,”a person from a crypto trading bot company told Business Korea. “We are improving security so that users’ trading rights are protected as much as possible. We are now paying special attention to security and will always continue to focus on raising security.”\n\nThose are not the only problems of trading bots. Historically such programs have been responsible for market crashes and price manipulations, however unintentionally.\n\nFor example, the famous 1987 Black Friday Wall Street crash, where equities dropped over 30% in one day, was caused by program trading — the first generation of bots, which sold stocks automatically when they fell below a certain price. Despite being far more advanced than their forebears, the current trading bots are often accused of causing similar calamities on the crypto market, artificially inflating and manipulating prices.\n\nRead more here: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

Within the ICO, the investors bought FTM tokens with Ethereum (ETH) coins and thus enabled Fantom to reach the targeted hard cap.\n\nThe Korean start-up will use the proceeds from the coin offering to develop its smart contract platform, which will allegedly enable faster and more flexible transactions involving cryptocurrencies.\n\nThe Fantom service is meant to process virtual currency transactions in everyday-life contexts. In the summary of its whitepaper, the company disclosed it has now partnered with the South Korea Food Tech Association to provide payment systems to players in the Korean food market.\n\n**Focus on speed**\nFantom commented that Bitcoin and Ethereum crypto systems are capable of processing a maximum of 15-20 transactions per second (TPS). Projects like EOS, Cardano and Hashgraph have worked to increase transaction speed, but they still haven’t reached the 65 000 TPS offered by conventional services like Visa and Mastercard at peak capacity.\n\nAt the same time, Fantom claims its system will be able to handle up to 300 000 TPS. On its web site, the firm states this will be made possible through five protocols interacting with each other on the Fantom platform.\n\n“More so than any other project currently out there, Fantom has the credible potential to bridge the gap between existing blockchain innovation and the mainstream user adoption, which is needed to bring cryptocurrency usage into the economics of daily life,” Hyperchain Capital founder Stelian Balta noted.\n\n**Crypto payment systems**\nThe Seoul-based company’s solution enters a thriving market of crypto payment systems. The past month alone has seen a number of announcements in this direction. On Thursday, crypto settlement providers Pundi X and UTRUST joined forces to make it easier for retailers to accept payments in digital coins. A day earlier, payment processor AloGateway agreed to integrate digital coin Dash (DASH) in its wallets and thus offer DASH payments to businesses.\n\nCanadian e-commerce firm Shopify signed on June 1 a deal with crypto payment processor Request Network which intends to enhance buying of coffee with virtual coins.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

Tom Lee has gone even further, predicting that the price of Bitcoin could rise to USD 20 000 in 2018 and reach USD 91 000 by March 2020.\n\nThe tool, presented by Lee in March, attracted solid media interest, most probably driven by the fact that Bitcoin’s price dips in early 2018 gave a relatively rare signal to buy. In total, there were only five such perfect buying signals that occurred in the whole nine-year history of the biggest cryptocurrency.\n\n ![btc index.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQEK6N3nowucUSH3WRJSiWq62Pgeg979e4TddRwB4sdYp/btc%20index.png)\n\n**BMI Features**\nThe BMI, which varies from 0 to 100, is based on contrarian economic indicators like market volatility. The all-time low of the index stands at 16.2, reached in September 2011. Lee claims that when the misery index falls below 27, the next 12 months for Bitcoin are expected to be incredible in terms of price performance. A trigger for a buy is when the index falls below 27 and for a sell is when it goes above 67.\n\nThe contrarian investment style, on which the BMI is based, focuses on buying assets when most other people are selling and selling them when demand is high and prices are growing. Similarly to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) that is used for stocks, indices, and commodities, the BMI shows conditions of oversold and overbought. However, Lee’s BMI could be a more constructive indicator for oversold for Bitcoin than RSI is, because he has incorporated some additional information into his analysis.\n\nThe index is calculated by accounting for the number of winning trades from the total trades (percentage of days that Bitcoin is up), and also measures the volatility (upside less downside). If the index value is low, it suggests that there is pain. It suggests that investors feel very miserable or unhappy to own Bitcoin at the time. According to the contrarian philosophy, when investors are unhappy, you should buy and when investors are happy, you should sell. Hence, the latest low of the index can be explained with the fact that the price of Bitcoin fell from an all-time-high of USD 19 666 in December 2017 to as low as USD 5920.72 in February 2018. This made investors doubt in the market and question themselves whether cryptocurrencies are just a bubble.\n\nThe beginning of 2018 was tough for Bitcoin investors. Japan’s largest exchange Coincheck was hacked, the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) started investigating a number of initial coin offerings (ICOs), and the trustee dealing with the funds from the defunct Japanese Mt. Gox exchange sold about USD 400 million worth of Bitcoins, pressing the price with oversupply. Additionally, social media giants, including Facebook and Google, banned crypto-related advertising.\n\nA key point to make about the BMI, however, is that it is a technical indicator and should not be taken with 100% certainty. All technical indicators are not free from fallibility. Past performance is not indicative of future results.\n\n\n_(The views and opinions expressed by the contributor in this text should not be considered financial advice,\nneither treated as an expression of Coins.Online’s view.\nCryptocurrency trading and investing is risky and market participants are advised to always conduct a thorough research.)_\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

To avoid further damage the company has temporary frozen client accounts.\n\n“...we ask our customers not to make deposits into current Bithumb wallet addresses in other to prevent any possible damage. We are also thoroughly undergoing KRW withdrawal services if there is any possibility of cyber-attack. Once the review is complete, KRW withdrawal service will be resumed,” the company explained.\n\nThe trading platform will use its KRW 500 billion fund to cover the damages.\n\n“The amount of damage that occurred this time will be fully covered by Bithumb’s own company fund, hence all our customer’s assets intact and fully secured,” the company said.\n\nBithumb is cooperating with Korea’s Internet and Security Agency (KISA) and the National Police Agency.\n\n“After the incident occurred on June 20, Bithumb quickly followed the procedure to immediately report [yesterday] incident to KISA announcing that about 35 billion Korean Won worth amount of cryptocurrency was stolen. However, as we undergo recovery process on each cryptocurrency, the overall scale of damage is getting reduced. Hence, we expect that the overall damage will be less than the amount we initially expected,” CEO Heo Back-Young wrote.\n\n[Jun 20th Incident Report]\nWe would like to share with you the events that took place on June 20, 2018 and the steps we're taking to ensure that your asset is safe and secure with Bithumb. \n\n▶ https://t.co/JjSnTtSsDj\n\n— Bithumb (@BithumbOfficial) June 21, 2018\n“Moreover, we are currently considering to provide a form of compensational event for current withdrawal delay and an announce will be made in a due course.”, he added.\n\nBithumb is one of the leading global cryptocurrency exchanges. It supports more than 35 digital coins, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum Classic (ETH), Dash (DASH) and Zcash (ZEC).\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

Free — to assure investors that its cryptocurrency is backed by USD. FSS reviewed Tether's bank accounts and found that as of June 1 the company had approximately USD 2.55 billion to cover USD 2.54 billion USDT in circulation. The law firm stressed, however, that it did not perform \"the above review and confirmations using generally accepted accounting principles,\" and that they have not made any conclusions regarding Tether's activity before or after the set date of June 1.\n\nTether said in a statement on its website: “To address allegations head on, we wish to make a few things clear: All Tethers in circulation are fully backed by USD reserves. Full stop. Memoranda, consulting reports, industry leaders, cryptocurrency pioneers, and competitors have all confirmed this. Reserves have always, and will always, match the number of Tethers in circulation.”\n\n**Tether’s Legitimacy Under Scrutiny**\n \nThis is not the first time Tether has passed an unofficial audit to prove its legitimacy to the cryptocurrency community. Last September, the company released a report conducted by US-based auditor Friedman LLP which also stated that, at the time, Tether's reserves matched the amount of USD in circulation. However, Tether ended its relationship with Friedman before the agency was able to complete a full audit. Shortly after that, reports suggested the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) had subpoenaed Tether and cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex, which share investors and management.\n\nMore recently, a June 13 paper published by researchers at the University of Texas alleged that Bitcoin’s (BTC) spike to USD 20,000 in December 2017 was the result of price manipulation orchestrated by Tether.\n\nTether acknowledged the scrutiny in its latest transparency update, noting that “much of the speculation and negative reporting” is due to “misunderstandings” about how Tether functions.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

The roundtable started on Tuesday and will continue three days with main focus on detecting the path of cryptocurrencies towards criminals in the EU.\n\nThe meeting will discuss “the abuse of virtual currencies for illegal activities”, and ways to “enhance the capabilities of law enforcement”, a Europol’s spokesperson told Financial Times. The main topic is “tracing and attribution” of digital coins and to counter crypto services that make easier for criminals to abuse digital coins for money laundering.\n\nThe Virtual Currencies Conference (VCC) is an annual forum where Europol meets crypto industry representatives for a direct discussion about digital coins and money laundering. The 5th conference is organized by EC3, the Europol’s Cybercrime Center.\n\nThis year's event is the biggest with more than 250 participants, including crypto wallets and payment processing companies, compared to 150 participants last year. Joint initiatives with private sector and cooperation on tracking the transactions are the main goals for the 5th VCC, EC3 announced.\n\n“#Now welcoming participants to 5th #VirtualCurrencies Conference. The largest #lawenforcement #cryptocurrency event in #Europe +250 guests from #lawenforcement, prosecution & private sector,” EC3 tweeted on Tuesday.\n\nThe participants are not only from the EU but from around the world as some of the major cryptocurrency exchanges are placed outside of the Union.\n\n“Hi Traders! The @Europol Virtual Currencies Conference starts today! It's fantastic to see all the major players in Cryptocurrency sharing their ideas on how to stop cyber crime,” the Nez Zealand-based Cryptopia virtual coin exchange tweeted.\n\nEuropol is the European Union agency that supports member states in the fight against various forms of organized crime, including terrorism, money laundering and organized frauds.\n\nIn February, director Rob Wainwrigh revealed that more than EUR 4 billion were laundered with cryptocurrencies, out of the EUR 114 billion of illicit proceeds in the EU.\n\nDay 2 of the 5th #VirtualCurrencies Conference: Discussing case studies on crime affecting legitimate cryptocurrency users including #malware, #phishing and #DDoS attacks on #cryptocurrency services. pic.twitter.com/bjZyonUXdc\n\n— EC3 (@EC3Europol) June 20, 2018\n\n**Europol and crypto-related activities**\n\nThe 5th Virtual Currencies Conference comes several days after Europol announced the dismantling of one of the notorious European hacker groups, Rex Mundi, that used Bitcoin as a payment method for ransoms. Last week, Europol revealed that the last member of the group, a 25-year old coder of the Rex Mindi, was arrested in Thailand as a result of international police cooperation under Europol’s umbrella.\n\nThe agency’s operation against Rex Mundi started after the group attacked the computers of a British company last year and compromised a large number of customer data. The hackers wanted a daily ransom of EUR 210 000 that should be paid in Bitcoins.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

SEC Chairman Jay Clayton has previously said that Bitcoin is not a security, but the agency had not cleared the status of any other virtual coin. Concern, in particular, had mounted around Ether due to its widespread use and because the Ethereum Foundation initially sold it in a manner that some in the financial industry have said resembled securities offerings.\n\nThe SEC will now look at other digital assets on a case-by-case basis. If a cryptocurrency network is not sufficiently decentralized and buyers have expectation of managerial stewardship from a third party, the respective coin will be subject to federal securities rules, Hinman remarked.\n\n\n**Crypto Market Surges**\n \n\nDigital currencies rallied on the back of the news, with the global cryptocurrency market capitalization returning to above USD 4 billion in just one hour. Among top 100 coins by market cap on Coins.Online, all lied in the green over the past 24 hours.\n\nThe ETH price rose more than 10%, exceeding USD 520. BTC posted more modest gains, standing just over 5% up at USD 6660.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

In a discussion with academics at Harvard University this spring, he mulled the idea of own “deplorables coin”. “A basket of deplorables” is how Trump supporters called his main opponent Hilary Clinton.\n\n**“Disruptive populism”**\nA self-described “economic nationalist”, Bannon sees cryptocurrencies as part of his political legacy because their decentralized technology can dramatically change the financial system. Developed by using the distributed ledger technology of blockchain, digital coins are out of central control that is typical for fiat money.\n\n“It’s disruptive populism. It takes control back from central authorities. It’s revolutionary,” Bannon told the New York Times from his house, known as Breitbart Embassy.\n\nBannon revealed that he had a “good stake” in Bitcoin (BTC)  and has made several discussions with cryptocurrency investors and hedge funds, focused on ICOs. The former Trump aide also eyes working with countries that want to issue own digital coins.\n\n“It was pretty obvious to me that unless you got somehow control over your currency, all these political movements were going to be beholden to who controlled the currency,” Bannon said.\n\nBannon served as a chief executive officer of presidential Trump's campaign. Another key player in Trump presidential race, the now-closed Cambridge Analytica consultancy company, has also eyed crypto world. It planned an ICO and own cryptocurrency that was shelved because of the Facebook data breach scandal.\n\nRead more: https://coins.online/cryptocurrency-news/",

The new rules include a list of approved cryptocurrencies, Initial Coin Offering (ICO) restrictions, fees and licensing requirements for market operators.\n\nThe laws were approved at the regulator’s June 7 meeting and are expected to come into effect later this month, local media has reported. This announcement follows two royal decrees published on May 14, addressing all crypto-related issues and giving the Thai SEC the responsibility of regulating the crypto space in the country.\n\n**Approved Cryptocurrencies**\n \nThe SEC will allow seven cryptocurrencies to be used for Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and trading pairs within the country. These are Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), and Stellar (XLM). The coins were chosen based on their consensus credibility and liquidity, the Bangkok Post reported.\n\n **ICO Restrictions**\n\nIn May, the Thai government banned ICOs while waiving the previously planned 7% VAT (value added tax) on cryptocurrency transactions. The new ICO regulations reverse the ban while stipulating strict conditions that must be met by future ICOs.\n\nAccording to the SEC decree, companies looking to conduct an ICO must indicate the token type and the investment information. The regulator also requires issuers to oversee their offerings for at least one year while having a minimum base capital of THB 5 million (USD 157 000). Investments are capped at THB 300 000 for individual retail investors per ICO project, while institutional investors can invest an unlimited amount in any ICO offering in the country.\n\n**Licensing Requirements and Fees**\n \nUnder the new laws, all market participants, including digital asset exchanges, brokers, dealers, and ICO issuers, must register with the SEC within 90 days of the effective date and be approved by the finance ministry.\n\nIn order for businesses to receive a license, they must also pay a fee of THB 5 million. Digital asset dealers will be charged THB 2 million, and brokerage firms THB 2.5 million. The annual fee for digital exchanges is 0.002% of the trading volume, with a minimum fee capped at THB 500 000 and maximum at THB 20 million. Brokerage firms have smaller fees at 0.001% of the trading volume with a minimum fee of THB 250 000 and a maximum of THB 5 million.\n\nThe SEC expects around 10 firms to apply for licenses, with around half of them comprising digital asset exchanges and the other half being cryptocurrency dealers and brokers. The deadline for license applications is August 14.",

CME forms its Bitcoin futures prices based on data from four crypto exchanges — Bitstamp, Coinbase, itBit and Kraken — where manipulative trading could have distorted the value of the futures.\n\nAfter the settlement of the first BTC futures contract in January, CME requested that the four exchanges provide trading data, such as time of trades, unfiled or canceled orders, order sizes, and trader identities. According to the WSJ, CME originally sought the information through a London-based company that calculates the Bitcoin price to use for its futures contracts.\n\nHowever, the exchanges have responded negatively to the request, citing privacy and security concerns. The exchanges ultimately provided some data, but only after CME limited its request to a few hours of activity, instead of a full day, and restricted to a few market participants, the sources revealed.\n\nThis dispute has reportedly raised concerns with the CFTC and the regulator opened an investigation looking for possible cryptocurrency trading schemes. The probe aims to identify manipulative practices such as spoofing, which is the creation of fake buy or sell orders to make the illusion of real supply and demand.\n\nKraken CEO Jesse Powell said the CFTC’s “newly declared oversight” of the prices “has the spot exchanges questioning the value and cost of their index participation.” He noted, as quoted by the WSJ: “If there is any kind of attempted manipulation, whoever is doing it is taking a huge amount of risk for very little possible upside.”\n\nCharles Cascarilla, CEO of Paxos, the company running itBit, said there is a clear desire for stricter oversight. Bitstamp and Coinbase have not yet commented on the news.\n\nThe CFTC is understood to be coordinating its investigation with the US Department of Justice (DOJ). Last month, Bloomberg reported that the two regulators opened a similar but separate investigation into BTC and Ethereum (ETH) price manipulation.",
