In this post: According to a Token Unlocks analysis that looked at major trends in a variety of crypto project categories, not every token performed similarly in terms of price performance and unlocked value. There were ups and downs in different areas. Token Unlocks claims that the differences in market price responses and unlock values offer insightful information to both individuals and projects. DEX and DeFi sectors together had unlocked nearly $1.6 billion, according to the statistics, but their price performance was still negative at -27.5% and -15%, respectively.Notwithstanding unlocking about $1 billion in value each, derivatives and gaming tokens saw declines of 87% and 37.75%, respectively.The results were impressive: RWA led with a massive rise of almost 295%, and LIQUID Restaking had a price surge of 234%.

Congress refers to the US SEC’s crypto policy as “rogue.”

In this post: US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler and his fellow commissioners came under heavy fire on Tuesday at a highstakes congressional hearing about how they handled digital assets. The important hearing revealed a growing dissatisfaction with the SEC’s supervision of cryptocurrency.Gensler was criticized by Committee Chair Patrick McHenry for purported regulatory overreach over digital assets.While directing the commission’s aggressive efforts on businesses like Coinbase, Uniswap, and OpenSea, he accused the agency of operating like a rogue agency. Gensler’s SEC is chastised for going too far with crypto The agency’s oversight of cryptocurrency has come under fire once more as detractors call for more open guidelines.Hearings featuring testimony from all five commissioners—Caroline Crenshaw, Jaime Lizárraga, Mark Uyeda, among others—showed the growing rift over the SEC’s approach to regulating digital assets. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, dubbed “crypto mom,” expressed her displeasure with the agency’s ambiguity.In order to hide the lack of regulatory certainty, we’ve adopted a legally ambiguous stance, Peirce said, drawing attention to the ambiguity surrounding the definition of securities in the cryptocurrency sector. “This is the premier agency to protect investors, and it has responsibility for virtually every other intangible investment asset,” Congressman Brad Sherman said at the session. He added, “We can provide clarity, although I don’t think it’s necessary, we could pass an additional statute to clarify that crypto is a security.” 🚨NEW: @HesterPeirce undermines @GaryGensler right off the bat, saying that the SEC has taken a legally imprecise view to mask the […]

Kamala Harris finally discuss the cryptocurrency industry

In this post: At last, Kamala Harris has discussed cryptocurrency. Just in time, don’t you think?

The community as a whole and investors have been suppressed under the Biden administration, so they were expecting this approval from Kamala for months. “We will bring together labor, small business founders, innovators, and major companies.

How much will Hamster Kombat airdrop tokens be worth?

In this post: A vast number of traders and gamers over the globe are eager to become wealthy through the game of Hamster Kombat. Were they not dubbed CEOs in the game? But when the airdrop goes live on September 26th, what will $HMSTR tokens be worth? Gamers of Hamster Kombat shared their victories and defeats on social media over the weekend.There were more people who lost than made it through the second round and would therefore not be eligible for the airdrop. According to Cryptopolitan, just 37% of all participants in Hamster Kombat were able to advance to become CEOs.Those that were disqualified contend that they were manipulated from the beginning.”My Season 1 surprise the real cheaters get the airdrop,” a player expressed his shock. Airdrops of Hamster Kombat create a stir It no longer matters how you compute your $HMSTR tokens for the Hamster Kombat airdrop.After three or four months of play, the results are out, and players already know their value. It all depends on how much those coins will cost in US dollars at this point. $1? $50Each HMSTR coin is expected to be worth between $0.07 and $0.1 upon launch. Remember that all of this is conjectural and could alter at any time. As an illustration, if you have 2000 HMSTR tokens, the minimum possible earnings, based on the lowest price estimate of $0.07 per token, would be 2000 HMSTR x $0.07 = $140. It’s interesting to note that, according to Gate.io exchange, $HMSTR would be worth $0.0568 on September 16, 2024, based on the value of IOUs. At the moment, price forecasts and predictions seem difficult to predict. The game intends to distribute roughly 60% of the total token supply to users, with the remaining portion going toward development and rewards. Nobody knows for sure how much the token will cost, how many will be available, or how redemptions will operate. Notably, though, the token will launch on popular cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance, Bitget, Bybit, and OKx. Because of the volume of users and players on these platforms, the token is expected to have exposure and a high trading volume.  $HMSTR management introduces an Interlude Season On Friday, Hamster Kombat’s “interlude season” was released on Telegram. During this time, developers removed a number of the game’s well-known features, such as the usual in-game coins, and tapping the main screen yields nothing. Likewise, the vast array of cryptocurrency exchange upgrades and the corresponding Mine menu were completely removed. Alternatively, you can acquire in game diamonds through recruiting friends, playing solo and multiplayer games, keeping up with the game’s social media accounts, and seeing YouTube videos of Hamster Kombat. The break seems to be a brief period of transition that could get gamers ready for what happens after the HMSTR token goes live online.

US AML/KYC regulations drive market liquidity to more crypto-friendly jurisdictions

In this post: The US federal government is stepping up its efforts to regulate the cryptocurrency industry by enforcing stronger Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws. The majority of these policies have raised market liquidity and innovation toward more crypto-friendly regions even if they were intended to stop illegal activity. The United States has been at the forefront of technological advancement and cryptocurrency adoption; states like California, San Francisco, New York City, and Miami have become hubs for cryptocurrency activity, hosting conferences and events that bring together experts, financiers, and innovators from around the world. But because every state has its own set of regulations, it can be difficult to navigate the regulatory landscape in the US.Companies who are starting out in the bitcoin space frequently run across this obstacle. A regulatory burden could lead to a shift in liquidity away from US venues As US government agencies enforce AML and KYC regulations, which result in increased compliance expenses for enterprises situated in the nation and cause some of them to look for friendlier regulatory environments elsewhere, regulatory expectations for bitcoin exchanges are growing. Onshore exchanges are undoubtedly under the most regulatory pressure, even though the majority of respondents think that the new rules have affected offshore exchanges.As a result, demand for offshore exchanges has surged, and many have welcomed offshore access. Trading volumes on offshore native platforms exceeded the aggregate trading volumes of newly formed and regulated onshore exchanges during the most recent quarter. Acuiti reported that although onshore exchange demand was marginally higher at 41%, offshore exchange demand increased to 49%. The demand pool for new onshore exchanges was only 3%, compared to 8% for DeFi. Cryptofriendly governments are becoming more and more well-known Countries like El Salvador, Malta, and Switzerland are widely recognized as centers for the development of cryptocurrencies. Compared to tight rules like those in the US, they offer more flexible policies that facilitate the growth of digital banking and blockchain technology. These nations are drawing in capital together with government-backed blockchain initiatives thanks to tax breaks and more streamlined licensing processes. For example, Singapore has established itself as a major global financial centre and has a welcoming posture towards cryptocurrencies.Institutional and individual investors can now trade cryptocurrencies in a secure environment thanks to the clear legal framework established by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). As a result, blockchain research and cryptocurrency firms now favor Singapore.
