SEC’s fintech wing leaves the nest, becoming stand-alone office

Per a Dec. 3 announcement, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s fintech team will become an independent office. Initially launched in 2018 under the guidance of Bill Hinman, the SEC’s Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology, or FinHub, has been a leading force in securities regulation as it applies to new technologies since its inception. Given that the same timeframe has seen a major ramping up of the SEC’s pursuit of initial coin offerings it deemed to have been unregistered security sales, FinHub has been busy. The shift to an independent…

Wrapped Bitcoin ‘Burns’ Increase as Traders Rotate Capital Out of Cooling DeFi

Wrapped Bitcoin, the bitcoin-backed token on Ethereum now worth over $2 billion, has seen an increase in burns (or “unwrappings”) by some of its largest users as the Ethereum-based decentralized finance sector continues to cool.

Here’s a closer look at the significance of the signal, and some theories on what potentially to expect if history…

Though centralized, a digital yuan is too big for China to surveil, says Cypherium CEO

There are technical limits to even the most technologically ambitious of central banks. So says Sky Guo, CEO of Cypherium — an enterprise blockchain platform that has partnered with a number of Chinese cities and has worked with projected central bank digital currencies. “CBDC is definitely really hot with central banks these days,” said Guo. CBDCs are all the rage this year, largely due to a surge in fiat-pegged stablecoin value and a sudden interest in upgrading non-cash systems amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bitcoin is the ‘wrong price for the possibilities it has,’ says Paul Tudor Jones

This bull market is different because people already know about crypto, Celsius CEO says

Google searches for Bitcoin (BTC) appear to be far less popular today than they were when the asset achieved its previous all-time high in December 2017. “2017 was all about hype and first-time users jumping in to try to catch BTC because of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out),” Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky told Cointelegraph. “This time, it is different,” he noted. “The fact almost no one is searching for BTC,” said Mashinsky, referencing data from Google Trends, “tells you everyone already knows what it is and where to buy it (cash app or…
