​​Hong Kong Monetary Authority Releases Discussion Paper On Crypto-Assets And Stablecoins

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority today released its January 2022 Discussion Paper on Crypto-assets and Stablecoins. While acknowledging the potential benefits that these innovations bring, especially stablecoins, the authority is keen to see the application of appropriate regulation.

When treating crypto-assets in general, the Discussion Paper highlights that going forward there are dangers, and warns of a:

“growing interconnectedness between these largely unregulated crypto-assets with the mainstream financial system and the potential risks that a severe price correction in these assets could pose to the wider financial system.”

On stablecoins, there appears to be more of a predisposition to acceptance, and the Paper notes that there is the possibility that they may become more widely used as they gain traction.

“some stablecoins may be more readily developing into a commonly acceptable means to store value and/or make payments, thus having a higher potential for being incorporated into the mainstream financial system across the globe.”

Although it is also noted that payment-related stablecoins would first have to be appropriately regulated before being allowed to operate in Hong Kong or be marketed to the public.

The report notes the upward trend in the global market cap for crypto-assets, especially since the onset of the pandemic.

While it is believed that crypto-assets have a “limited share in global financial assets and adoption by the general public of Hong Kong, they are evolving rapidly."

The Paper goes on to discuss the possible regulatory measures that might be adopted, ranging from a market driven “no action”, through various other policy options that include more and tougher regulation, until the final option, which is a “blanket ban”.

Major international organisations are referenced, such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the FATF, and the FSB, and the report briefly highlights what they are currently advising.

In addition, the Paper covers how the major global jurisdictions are dealing with the issue of crypto-assets. China, the EU, Singapore, the UK, and the US have their positions laid out.

After covering the risks entailed by stablecoins, the Paper concludes that crypto-assets haven’t yet posed material risks to financial stability, but noted that given the pace of their development, risks could soon begin to materialise.

The authors of the Paper concluded:

“bringing crypto-assets within the regulatory perimeter in an appropriate manner would help address the various risks posed to users and the financial system while embracing the potential benefit of financial innovations.”

Adding:

“The HKMA is of the view that adopting a risk-based approach would be the most suitable way to take things forward.”

​​Bolivian Central Bank ‘Bans’ Crypto, Says Tokens ‘Have No Place in Domestic Market’

The Bolivian central bank has moved to “ban” the use of crypto in the nation – and has issued warnings about what it perceives to be the “risks” involved with investing in cryptoassets such as bitcoin (BTC).

According to the Telam news agency, the Banco Central de Bolivia (BCB) has issued a “prohibition” on crypto in the country and “warned that users of these digital securities” could be in line to experience financial losses or fall victim to “scams” – as they are “not trustworthy” in nature.

The bank said, in an official statement:

“As cryptoassets are not a legal tender in Bolivia, the BCB prohibits their use, as well as their commercialization and purchase, because they incur potential risks of generating economic losses to their operators and holders.”

Although the BCB does not seem to have attempted to criminalize holding or trading crypto, it appears keen to shut the door on all businesses and brokers seeking to provide crypto-related services in Bolivia.

The bank explained:

“Private initiatives related to the use and commercialization of ... cryptoassets may not be operated through the Bolivian financial system. They do not operate with the authorization of the BCB or the regulatory Financial System Supervision Authority.”

The BCB added a further warning about the dangers of investing in crypto projects and justified its move, stating that its “ban” would “protects against risk, fraud, and scams” that ordinary Bolivians might otherwise be exposed to.

The bank has lashed out at crypto before. Back in December 2020, in the wake of that year’s general election, it issued a resolution aiming to “prohibit the use of cryptoassets in the domestic market.”

This warning appears to have fallen on deaf ears, however, with multiple media outlets noting that social media campaigns promoting crypto-related services had been circulating in the country in the months since its announcement.

​​Microsoft Prepares To Build On Metaverse With Activision Acquisition

The tech giant announced the acquisition on Tuesday. Activision Blizzard is the parent company of the highly popular video game “Call of Duty” and the deal is being touted as the biggest in gaming industry history. The deal is also the biggest acquisition made by Microsoft and is a powerful move in cementing its position in the metaverse. The videogame market has already been dominated by industry leaders like Tencent and Sony. However, the latest move from Microsoft is expected to shake things up in the virtual world of gaming.

Commenting on the acquisition, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said,

"Gaming is the most dynamic and exciting category in entertainment across all platforms today and will play a key role in the development of metaverse platforms."

Microsoft is already a significant player in the gaming industry thanks to the Xbox gaming console. The Activision acquisition will catapult its position higher up the ladder, into the third position of the most influential gaming companies of the world. Activision’s 390 million monthly users and huge gaming franchises of Call of Duty and Warcraft will give an edge to Microsoft in the competitive battle with Sony’s PlayStation and Meta’s VR platform, Oculus.

According to equity analyst and portfolio manager at Aptus Capital Advisors, David Wagner,

"This is a significant deal for the consumer side of the business and more importantly, Microsoft acquiring Activision really starts the metaverse arms race."

The metaverse is a virtual space that has developed with the expansion of different blockchain networks and NFTs. The technology behind it allows users to interact with virtual elements in this virtual space. Ever since Facebook rebranded itself to Meta, the interest in metaverse has skyrocketed, as several leading brands and conglomerates are taking steps to ensure they do not get left behind in this race.

Microsoft had been preparing to expand its metaverse presence since the end of last year. In November 2021, the tech firm announced its intentions at the Microsoft Ignite conference. Furthermore, the company had also announced that it would be updating its Xbox gaming console services to provide an elevated metaverse experience. The recent acquisition could be a part of its initiative to add more firepower to its gaming arsenal.

​​US Fed Explores Digital Currency Options, Releases Whitepaper

The United States Central Bank, also known as the Federal Reserve has released a new whitepaper discussing the benefits, downsides, and potential costs involved in launching a Digital Dollar

CBDC Whitepaper Starts Conversation
The release of the whitepaper on Tuesday, January 30, is indicating that the country’s chief financial institution is ready to start the conversation around the pros and cons of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The paper however did not make any conclusions or statements about whether the Fed should actively pursue the project. The Fed has already clarified that any substantive movement in the direction of launching CBDCs would not happen without support from Congress and the executive branch. The Fed is also inviting comments on the whitepaper and the general idea of a CBDC via an online submission form for the next 120 days.

Following the whitepaper, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell commented,

“We look forward to engaging with the public, elected representatives and a broad range of stakeholders as we examine the positives and negatives of a central bank digital currency in the United States”.

Digital Dollar: Functions And Challenges
The whitepaper pointed out that the CBDC would function differently from traditional digital payments. Instead of traditional banks, the Digital Dollar will function as a digital token with a direct claim from the central bank. In this way, it almost functions similarly to physical cash. Additionally, a central bank backed currency would also be different from usual cryptocurrencies that are issued by private actors and therefore carry higher risk potential.

The whitepaper also pointed out the challenges involved with such an undertaking, writing,

‘While a CBDC could provide a safe, digital payment option for households and businesses as the payments system continues to evolve, and may result in faster payment options between countries, there may also be downsides. Challenges include maintaining financial stability and making sure the digital dollar would ‘complement existing means of payment’.

CBDC Could Be On The Cards
The whitepaper also detailed that the best use of a Digital Dollar would be if it were intermediated through the current financial system, eliminating the need for individual CBDC accounts directly with the Fed. While some Democrats are agreeing that such a digital currency could help the unbanked populations, banks are worried about losing their customer base.

Globally, there has been significant turmoil around digital assets, especially cryptocurrencies. However, financial institutions are warming up to the idea of CBDCs, since it merges the security of physical cash and the ease of transaction of digital assets. Jerome Powell himself has previously stated that cryptocurrencies do not pose risks of financial instability to the American economy.

​​The Wealthiest Crypto Investor Portfolios Are Down 24% To 55% So Far

It’s not just your average Joe retail investor who is feeling the crypto cold right now. Ten of the richest crypto billionaires are also feeling the pain of the current crypto cold snap, some of them down more than 50% of their net worth since early November.

A Forbes article published just recently today, suggested that ten of the richest individuals in crypto have seen a combined loss in their crypto portfolios of a whopping $27 billion. Of those ten, three of them have lost over 50% since the $69,000 bitcoin top of November 10.

With bitcoin, ethereum, and most of the top performing cryptos down at least 50%, this is one of the main reasons for the losses. And it’s not just just the cryptos themselves. Coinbase Global shares have lost 42% since the bitcoin top, down from $328 to $191 at yesterday’s close.

This has led to the two billionaire co-founders of Coinbase, CEO Brian Armstrong, and Fred Ehrsam, losing $70 billion between them.

The article points out that MicroStrategy’s CEO Michael Saylor has suffered the biggest personal losses so far. His net worth has dropped from $3.1 billion on November 11, to $1.4 billion yesterday, a 55% decline in his fortune.

His company, MicroStrategy, is also down 55% over the same period, and that is despite the tech dominated Nasdaq index being down only 15% over the same time frame. Crypto has suffered the heaviest of all the tech sector.

The entire crypto industry has suffered en masse. The combined market cap of cryptocurrency was at nearly $3 trillion before the plunge. Now it is languishing at $1.7 trillion, a 43% loss in just 3 months.

While the crypto market appears to have found a bottom, at least for now, the pain may not be over yet. After a bounce upwards from here, some analysts are calling for bitcoin to come back down and test the $30k level. If this is broken then $20k might be the next stop, and some of the billionaires might be so no longer.
​​Crypto Took CZ From Working At McDonalds To Becoming One Of The Richest Men In The World

Zhao Changpeng, the CEO of Binance exchange, saw the possibilities with crypto earlier than most. His prolific rise to the top through his entrepreneurial qualities had very humble beginnings.

Known as CZ in crypto circles, Zhao Changpeng was born in China in the Jiangsu province. His father was exiled during the Chinese cultural revolution when CZ was only twelve years old.

The family moved to Vancouver, Canada, and initially times were not easy. CZ said that he did lots of odd jobs in order to provide for his family, and this included a period working at McDonalds.

It was in 2013 that he first heard about Bitcoin, and was encouraged to invest some money into it. According to an article published in the South China Morning Post, he then threw himself totally into the number one cryptocurrency, even selling his flat in order to be able to buy more of it.

In 2017 his star began to shine ever more brightly when he launched his very own crypto exchange called Binance. The exchange shot up the crypto market cap rankings at a meteoric speed, based on a strategy of creating high volumes with low fees.

Now, Binance is the world’s biggest crypto exchange, and according to Fortune, it processes up to $170 billion in transactions per day. Therefore, CZ’s 90% stake in the company means that he has become the 14th richest person in the world, as per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. However, it must be noted that this index doesn’t take into account the wealth held by CZ in his own personal crypto holdings.

Now that he appears to have made it big financially, CZ says he is more interested in philanthropy. He personally answers some of the questions on the Binance blog page, and recently tweeted from his Twitter account:

“Don’t worry about rankings. Focus on how many people you can help.”

He added the following day:

“Unpopular opinion: instead of wealth rankings, there should be a ranking of charity and philanthropy efforts.”

Binance has suffered some negatives in recent times. China effectively ended the exchange’s stay in mainland China when it outlawed all cryptocurrency transactions. Other jurisdictions have put it under the spotlight on regulatory issues, and the US Department of Justice, and the IRS, are investigating the company for money laundering and tax evasion.
