Crypto and NFT-Linked Accounts Will be Banned on WeChat After Terms of Service Are Revised

WeChat, the Tencent-backed social messaging network in China, has announced its plans to tighten down on accounts tied to digital currencies and Non-Fungible Tokens in an indirect manner (NFTs).  According to Colin Wu, an independent crypto journalist, the social media giant has changed its terms of service, adding a new section emphasizing its lack of support for any businesses affiliated with the digital assets industry.  According to the revised guidelines, any account that “involves the issue, transaction, and financing of virtual currency, such as providing transaction entry, guidance, and issuance channel guidance,” among other things, would be suspended.  Accounts that facilitate “transaction and exchange business between virtual currency and real currency, virtual currency and virtual currency; provide information intermediary and pricing services for virtual currency transactions; token issuance financing and virtual currency derivatives trading, and; provide services or content related to the secondary transaction of digital collections” are among those targeted.  While immediate account suspension is one of the sanctions the platform will impose, it also stated that depending on the severity of the infractions, it can potentially ban any user deemed to be guilty.

Bitkub CEO: Crypto Exchanges Have a Collective Responsibility to Educate Investors

According to Topp Jirayut Srupsrisopa, CEO of Thailand-based crypto exchange Bitkub, cryptocurrency exchanges should take up the role of improving financial understanding about digital assets as part of community responsibility.  Volatility in the cryptocurrency market has emerged as one of the most significant downside concerns. This is a point that Srupsrisopa brought up because bearish prices in cryptocurrency do not impede uptrends. He mentioned:  “You have to differentiate between a short-term shock that is happening in the market and a long-term view.”  For example, Bitcoin (BTC) fell below the psychological price of $20K for the first time in 18 months as a result of tightening macroeconomic conditions such as higher interest rates.  Nonetheless, according to CoinMarketCap, the top cryptocurrency has renewed pace and reclaimed this level, as it was hanging around $21,100 during intraday trade.  According to Srupsrisopa, crypto consumers would be able to make wise judgments with good financial education. The CEO of Bitkub stated:  “We have always said not to put all your eggs in one basket and not to borrow money to speculate. We need to get the right financial education, not just in cryptocurrency but in the entire stock market.”   As Thailands largest cryptocurrency exchange, Srupsrisopa acknowledged that Bitkub welcomes the regulations

Bybit trading platform has joined the list of cryptocurrency exchanges that have announced plans to lay off employees in order to restructure their operations in the midst of the ongoing crypto market slump.  The platforms Chief Executive Officer, Ben Zhou, announced the latest layoff in an internal letter shared with workers. Colin Wu, a Chinese independent cryptojournalist, shared a copy of Zhous letter on Twitter, and it has been confirmed by other mainstream media sites.

Crypto Billionaire Blames Fed for Downturn

Cryptocurrencies are experiencing a major market fall, and the Federal Reserve is to blame, according to Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of the FTX platform.  “The Fed has been the primary driver of this,” Bankman-Fried remarked.  In an interview with NPR, the FTX CEO indicated that the Fed is aggressively raising interest rates to combat excessive inflation, which has resulted in a “recalibration” of risk assumptions.  Bankman-Fried acknowledged the difficulty of the Feds mission, saying it is “stuck between a rock and a hard place.” However, the billionaire noted that the central banks decisions in the next months will have a significant impact on his commercial prospects.  In an effort to counteract excessive inflation, the Fed hiked interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point last week. Financial markets have already been extremely volatile in recent months, with cryptocurrencies in full meltdown mode.  “Markets are literally terrified. Wealthy people are terrified.” Bankman-Fried has been mentioned.  The billionaire said that the fall might impact crypto regulation, which is now being considered in the United States. He predicted that there will be increasing scrutiny of how leverage and loan operations in the crypto business are used, as well as how transparent firms are about potential risks.  What Does This Mean for

Here's Why Peter Brandt Won't Use 'Enemy' Cash to Buy Ethereum

The once-glorious digital currencies are no longer deemed such, at least in the medium term, given the current nosedive in prices and valuation.  With the overall crypto market capitalization falling to $858.7 billion at the time of writing, the industry is undergoing a significant downturn, with Ether, the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, taking the largest damage.  Ethereums price has dropped from its all-time high (ATH) of $4,891.70 in November 2021 to $1,065.35, after falling to a multi-year low of $896.11 over the weekend. Given this prognosis, Peter Brandt, one of the most prominent commentators in the digital currency industry, is not optimistic about the future of Ethereum.  According to the graphic below, Brandt believes the price of Ethereum could fall as low as $300. While investors and Ethereum bulls may view this as a bearish call, analysts stated that “targets are not holy — sometimes they are hit, sometimes they are not, sometimes they are exceeded.”  Despite his prediction and a dash of uncertainty, Brandt is not urging anyone to pile up on Ethereum at the present, stating that he would not even use his “Enemys Money” to buy Ethereum at this time.  The digital currency ecosystem is no stranger to expert price

The Gemini exchange followed suit, laying off 10% of its employees. Unlike these two rival behemoths, Binance has stated that it

Despite rising fears about the unfolding crypto-economic catastrophe, Kraken exchange has made the audacious statement that it does not intend to lay off any employees.
