694:FCA's Regulatory Onslaught, Crypto's Warfront Stability, and Upbit's Security Quandary
Episode 694:
FCA's Crypto Crackdown - The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a list of 143 entities, mainly in the crypto sector, warning the public against them. The list includes major Asian crypto exchanges Huobi and KuCoin. This is part of a broader regulatory initiative to mitigate high-risk financial products.
Crypto Defies Mideast Chaos - Amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, the crypto market shows resilience. Bitcoin and other digital assets largely remain stable, serving as a financial haven. The situation highlights crypto's role as a reliable asset in times of geopolitical unrest.
Upbit Under Siege - Upbit, a leading South Korean crypto exchange, has seen a 117% increase in hacking attempts in the first half of 2023 compared to 2022. This alarming trend highlights the pressing need for robust security measures in the crypto world.
HTX’s $8M Comeback - HTX, a crypto exchange under Huobi Global, managed to recover $8 million in stolen Ethereum by directly negotiating a bounty with the hacker. This unorthodox method raises both ethical and legal questions but proved effective.
EFTA Crypto Shift - The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is considering applying the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) to cryptocurrencies. While aimed at consumer protection, the move could lead to increased government surveillance and control.
Altman Slams CBDCs - Tech CEO Sam Altman criticizes the U.S. government's approach to crypto regulations, specifically targeting Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). He warns these could be used for state surveillance, echoing the crypto community's concerns.
