New regulations won’t prevent FTX–like bankruptcy

The failure of Terra and FTX left millions of investors disappointed, which puts regulators under pressure to perform. Nevertheless, this could also lead to the eventual adoption of improper regulatory approaches that overshoot the mark by a broad margin and miss the point.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren witnesses cryptos as a danger to national security and states they must be regaled as such. In her opinion, this suggests measures must be carried out to remove privacy from crypto transactions completely.

All actors entangled in the process of transactions should be regarded as financial institutions, so they will be directed to record all personal data of their users.

This kind of control and monitoring may fall on receptive ears in Europe, which is essential in terms of globally uniform regulation.

Under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation, which was embraced as a draft in the summer, the European Union decided that crypto exchanges would have to report transactions to wallets outside their scope if they surpassed a value of €1,000.

In expansion, regulations to stop money laundering and terrorist financing must be extended to the crypto sector. Crypto exchanges will then be obliged to permit transactions involving unhosted wallets only if the identities of the sender and recipient are described beyond doubt. This makes anonymous transactions nearly impossible.

At this point, there is a significant agreement with Elizabeth Warren’s regulatory approach.

Bitcoin technical price markers

Bitcoin is presently failing -0.84% at a BTC/USD price of $17,658, while the weekly earnings are 5.12%.

On Wednesday, the cryptocurrency crushed the 55-day M.A. with a daily high of $18,351. Nevertheless, the daily close was again under the M.A. and the 38.2% Fibo retracement of $17,841. A second breakout try above the resistance area failed, and failures toward the support of the 23.6% Fibo retracement of $16,986 are threatening.
