Every six months or so, it’s value checking in on the breakdown of the general crypto market and the way worth is distributed. This chart from Decentral Park’s newest publication, highlights the latest uptick within the BTC market share to 51% as ETH’s decline has been deeper than BTC’s. Note: this chart excludes stablecoins.
Monetary thinker and blogger John Paul Koning lists the 4 items of laws launched during the last 18 months within the US Congress because it pertains to stablecoins. The most up-to-date from Sen. Lummis and Sen. Gillibrand was simply launched final week and is aimed on the broader crypto house, placing most tokens which might be sufficiently “decentralized” below the jurisdiction of the CFTC relatively than the SEC. We argued final yr that laws was coming and that it might be bipartisan. Having a Democratic Senator from New York and a Republican Senator from Wyoming as co-sponsors is spectacular, however this invoice faces an uphill battle as a result of it goals to cowl a lot (even DAOs!).
In actuality, not one of the payments that JP Koning lists has a practical probability of passing however they’re essential first steps. In our view, stablecoins are probably the most urgent legislative precedence. The Gottheimer invoice would set up government-backed insurance coverage for regulated stablecoins, whereas the Toomey invoice focuses on establishing “payment stablecoins” so that they keep away from securities regulation. The STABLE Act, launched in December 2020, would aggressively regulate stablecoin issuers by requiring them to acquire a financial institution constitution.
