China's Ongoing Crypto Crackdown Is All About Perception

Calling it a blood bath is an understatement.　　On July 23, Chinese stocks listed in the U.S. plunged as Beijing issued new regulations cracking down on education technology companies that provide services such as tutoring. New Oriental, an institute where your correspondent spent a good amount of her youth in Beijing, dropped 60% when the market opened. Others saw their market caps decline by more than 50%.　　The ed tech sector isn‘t alone in this free fall. Large-cap Chinese internet companies have been in decline for weeks.

S Korean MP Bids to Prevent ‘Crypto Crisis’ While Kimchi Premium Evaporates

A South Korean lawmaker wants to throw struggling crypto exchanges a lifeline by forcing an extension to a fast-approaching regulatory deadline – while the so-called kimchi premium is shriveling away to oblivion.　　Per EDaily and Hanguk Kyungjae, Cho Myung-hee, an MP from the main opposition Peoples Power Party, announced that she is ready to unveil an amendment to the Specific Financial Information Act, which came into force in March this year.　　The act requires all crypto exchanges in South Korea, as well as overseas platforms that target South Korean clients, to obtain operating permits from the Financial Intelligence Unit, an agency of the regulatory Financial Services Commission (FSC).　　Exchanges were given a six-month grace period (expiring on September 24) in which to complete their applications.　　To obtain permits, exchanges must find a banking partner that will provide their customers with real name-verified bank accounts and fulfill a number of anti-money laundering-related criteria. At present, reportedly, only four exchanges have real name banking contracts in place – all of which expire on September 24.　　This has led to widespread fears that what media outlets have termed a “shutdown crisis” is looming in a country where crypto trading has boomed beyond the sectors wildest dreams this year.　　Chos

Bitcoin Hash Rate Recovers To 2020 Levels, A Long Way To Go

Data compiled by Arcane Research shows the Bitcoin 14-day moving average hash rate now exceeds 100 EH/S – a level last seen in May 2020.　　From this, the data analysis firm concludes that the China mining exodus is finally complete. Adding that, more upside is expected as miners settle in their new homes.　　But considering the hash rate was around 200 EH/S before the FUD took hold, theres still a long way to go until a complete recovery is achieved.　　Bitcoin Hash Rate Recovers　　Analysis of the Bitcoin hash rate shows the 14-day moving average bottomed at 88 EH/S on July 9. Since then, a 14% spike has moved the hash rate back to 100 EH/S, pointing to recovery from the China FUD.　　Since April, Chinese authorities have moved to ban financial institutions from dealing with crypto and decreed miners cease their activities on the grounds of environmental protection.　　Not only did this trigger a fall in Bitcoin price, but an exodus of miners also followed. Analysts attribute the drop in hash rate to a limbo state as Chinese miners pause their operations, searching for new, more crypto friendlier locations.　　“As the most severe impact of the Chinese mining ban is done and dusted, the hash rate
