Market Trends:
- Europe passed the world’s first comprehensive set of Digital Asset legislations: MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets)
Meanwhile, certain American legislators are trying to revive last year’s postponed stablecoin bill, while others push back.
- While House Republicans believe that this legislative delay is causing America to lose its competitive edge and pushing capital and entrepreneurs offshore...
House Democrats (including the original sponsor of the bill) ostensibly seem to believe the industry deserves no formal recognition (or regulation, whatsoever).
And finally, in (somewhat) happier news, recent FTX and BlockFi bankruptcy filings have revealed that none other than the Kingdom of Bhutan’s Sovereign Wealth Fund has been aggressively stacking sats (and other crypto assets) for years...
- To the tune of millions. Huzzah!
- This begs the question: Who else has been secretly investing in crypto assets?
As of 04/24/2023 12:30 AM EST, values in CAD.
