Market Trends:

As the global race towards Bitcoin adoption intensifies amidst economic uncertainty, Asia has continued to position itself to benefit. But 3 new American presidential hopefuls are vying for the US not to be left behind:

  • Since American regulators’ crackdown on crypto intensified in the wake of FTX, Chinese state-owned banks in Hong Kong have been actively courting crypto businesses being pushed out of the US.
  • Now, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission plans to allow retail trading of cryptocurrencies and has begun publishing rules to that effect.

Bitcoin 2023 in Miami also revealed a new contender in Southeast Asia throwing their hat in the proverbial ring, with a population almost as large as the US.

  • Indonesia, with a population of roughly 274M, boasts one of the highest Bitcoin adoption rates in the world: Over 40% 😲
  • Ridwan Kamil who governs a population of 50M people in the country’s most populous region of West Java, claimed at Bitcoin 2023 to have the “biggest reserve of renewable energy in the world” and like Bhutan, wants to use some of these goodies to mine clean BTC and create a haven for Bitcoiners.
  • When one door closes, another one opens. Let’s go, Mr. Kamil!

Last but certainly not least, Bitcoin has become a pillar of 3 new US Presidential candidates’ political platforms:

  • Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Republican Ron DeSantis, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
  • BTC has officially entered the mainstream. Hyperbitcoinization when? 👀 .

For years there have been battles around mining, exemplified by the New York State Moratorium on new mining driven in large part by reports from the Greenidge plant in the Finger Lakes region. In a new piece of reporting from CoinDesk, however, it appears that many of the claims made about the plant and its impact were simply false. What's more, locals in the area have had their voices almost entirely ignored. – Bitcoin Builders w/ NLW: What Real People Think of Bitcoin Mining in Their Communities
