L'influenza dell'industria delle criptovalute sulle elezioni statunitensi è più grande che mai, dicono gli esperti del settore
  • Quest’anno la lobby delle criptovalute è più potente che mai e ha già influenzato alcune elezioni chiave del Congresso

  • L’industria delle criptovalute spera che un gruppo di legislatori più amichevole e più istruito possa finalmente far approvare un quadro normativo per le criptovalute

  • Sebbene gli elettori che detengono criptovalute tendano a preferire Trump come presidente, gli addetti ai lavori del settore sono divisi sulla questione se una presidenza Trump sarebbe effettivamente migliore per le criptovalute

L’industria delle criptovalute sta facendo il suo peso a Washington nella speranza di influenzare le imminenti elezioni americane, spendendo una quantità di denaro senza precedenti per far eleggere candidati favorevoli alle criptovalute ed educare i legislatori, il tutto nella speranza di ottenere finalmente un quadro normativo amichevole per le criptovalute.

Comitati di azione politica (PAC) focalizzati sulla criptovaluta come Fairshake, che ha raccolto circa 85 milioni di dollari da una serie di società crittografiche, dirigenti e gli investitori al dettaglio – hanno determinato con successo l’esito di alcune gare importanti, inclusa la spesa di 10 milioni di dollari per aiutare schiacciare l’offerta della deputata cripto-critica Katie Porter (D-Calif.).

Fairshake ha anche versato denaro in due PAC affiliati: Defend American Jobs, che dona ai candidati repubblicani, e Protect Progress, che dona ai democratici. Entrambi hanno donato alle campagne vincenti. Negli ultimi due mesi, Defend American Jobs ha speso quasi 500.000 dollari in acquisti di media per il repubblicano Mark Messmer, senatore dello stato dell’Indiana, che vinse la nomination repubblicana per il seggio congressuale dell’ottavo distretto dell’Indiana questa settimana.

Alcuni dei candidati democratici cripto-friendly di Protect Progress, tra cui Figure Shomariche è in corsa per un seggio alla Camera in Alabama e Giulia Johnson in Texas, hanno vinto le primarie anche grazie all’aiuto dell’acquisto dei media.

“È a un livello che non abbiamo mai visto nei cicli elettorali passati”, ha affermato Kristin Smith, CEO del gruppo di lobbying sulle criptovalute Blockchain Association.

Gli esperti del settore affermano che il potere economico del settore ha persino spinto alcuni scettici sulle criptovalute, tra cui il senatore Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), presidente del Comitato bancario del Senato, candidato alla rielezione quest’anno, ad adottare una posizione più aperta. atteggiamento attento nei confronti delle criptovalute, per timore che debbano affrontare sforzi di opposizione ben finanziati da parte del settore.

“In precedenza non era amico delle criptovalute, ma di recente [Brown] ha detto di essere aperto a prendere in considerazione una legislazione sulle criptovalute,” ha detto Kyle Bligen, direttore della politica finanziaria presso la Camera del Progresso focalizzata sulla tecnologia. “Penso che sia a conoscenza del denaro proveniente da gruppi industriali esterni che sono alla ricerca di politici aperti a scelte ragionevoli, politiche di buon senso sulle criptovalute e non stanno solo cercando di sostenere o supportare l’ecosistema finanziario tradizionale senza consentire l’innovazione”.

La storia continua

Sebbene gli sforzi passati del settore per influenzare i risultati elettorali a livello nazionale siano stati in gran parte infruttuosi – e, nel caso dell’ex CEO di FTX Sam Bankman-Fried, penale – La crescente influenza politica del settore delle criptovalute sembra ora avere più potere.

“È un’operazione molto più sofisticata”, ha detto Smith. “Mi sento come se andassi in giro per Washington e la gente dicesse ‘Oh, c’è Kristin, lavora per quella piccola cosa dell’industria blockchain.’ Ora è come, ‘Oh wow, questa è la potente industria delle criptovalute e sono qui per influenzare Washington e stanno tirando fuori tutti gli strumenti per farlo.”

Tutti gli occhi puntati sulle presidenziali

Sebbene l’industria delle criptovalute abbia in gran parte concentrato i suoi sforzi di lobbying sulle elezioni del Congresso, anche le elezioni presidenziali statunitensi avranno un impatto significativo sulla regolamentazione delle criptovalute.

Secondo almeno un piccolo sondaggio commissionato dalla società di investimenti in criptovalute Paradigm, gli elettori detentori di criptovalute tendono a preferire Donald Trump per presidente – anche se, secondo altri sondaggi, il la percentuale di elettori che possiedono criptovalute è piccolal. Scommettitori del polimercato attualmente dare a Trump un leggero vantaggio per vincere (47% contro il 44% di Biden). Ma gli addetti ai lavori del settore sono meno sicuri sul fatto che una presidenza Trump sarebbe effettivamente migliore per le criptovalute.

Durante la sua presidenza Trump lo era espresso il suo disgusto per le criptovalute, ma da allora ha ammorbidito la sua posizione, affermando addirittura all’inizio di questa settimana che lo era aperto ad accettare donazioni per campagne crittografiche. In un interviste con CNBC all’inizio di quest’annoTrump ha ammesso di essersi dilettato lui stesso nei mercati (ha venduto diverse tranche di token non fungibili) e ha detto che “non è sicuro [he would] Voglio portarglielo via a questo punto,” anche se ha lasciato intendere che potrebbe agire per frenare l’influenza delle criptovalute se mai riuscissero a indebolire il dominio del dollaro USA.

Anche se la posizione di Trump nel settore delle criptovalute sta cambiando, è ancora decisamente meno favorevole alle criptovalute rispetto a quella del suo ex rivale per la nomina presidenziale repubblicana, Vivek Ramaswamy, che promesso per proteggere gli sviluppatori di criptovalute e creare una struttura normativa chiara per le criptovalute che vedrebbe la maggior parte dei token come materie prime.

Anche se Ramawamy non è più in corsa – e lo sarà secondo quanto riferito, non sarà considerato il candidato alla corsa di Trump – Gli addetti ai lavori del settore suggeriscono che le sue politiche relative alle criptovalute potrebbero ancora avere un’influenza su Trump se venisse eletto.

“Trump guarda a Vivek per quanto riguarda la politica tecnologica e delle risorse digitali”, ha affermato Lee Bratcher, fondatore e presidente del Texas Blockchain Council. “Non lo ha sempre fatto, ma quando ha visto come Vivek ha conquistato l’elettore repubblicano – e più centrista [voters] di quanto Trump possa catturare – probabilmente è più interessato a questo [policy].”

Biden, rieletto

Gli addetti ai lavori del settore erano divisi sul fatto se una rielezione di Biden sarebbe dannosa per l’industria delle criptovalute.

Smith ha detto che probabilmente sarebbe “più o meno la stessa cosa, a meno che [Securities and Exchange Commission Chair] Gary Gensler decide di farsi da parte”, il che significa continua incertezza normativa e azioni aggressive di applicazione. Un presidente della SEC migliore e con una mentalità più aperta, ha aggiunto, sarebbe “estremamente utile”.

“È un peccato perché all’inizio dell’amministrazione Biden c’era un certo interesse per le criptovalute, poi l’industria è implosa mentre stavano stilando tutti i loro rapporti e di conseguenza si trovano in una posizione chiaramente negativa in questo momento,” ha detto Smith . “SU [Biden’s] guarda, l’industria ha avuto dei momenti non così grandi ed è comprensibile che i regolatori siano preoccupati.”

Smith ha affermato che, sebbene l’industria delle criptovalute si sia ampiamente allontanata dal crollo delle criptovalute del 2022 – comprese le implosioni di FTX, Terra/LUNA e Three Arrows Capital – i regolatori hanno una memoria molto più lunga.

“Avere un nuovo gruppo di regolatori sarebbe utile per riavviare le conversazioni”, ha detto Smith.

Altri, come Bligen, sembravano più fiduciosi che una legislazione a favore delle criptovalute venisse approvata dopo le elezioni se Biden restasse al potere.

“Non posso dire che se il presidente Biden venisse rieletto sarebbe una perdita per i sostenitori delle criptovalute, perché attualmente in questo regime democratici e repubblicani stanno lavorando insieme su base bipartisan per produrre criptovalute produttive e responsabili. [legislation]”, ha detto Bligen.

Sono in corso sforzi nell’attuale Congresso per approvare la legislazione sulle criptovalute, compreso uno sforzo bipartisan per regolamentare le stablecoin.

Sfide per progredire

Questi sforzi legislativi – che, in passato, non sono riusciti a trovare terreno – hanno ancora ostacoli significativi da superare prima di essere approvati, incluso il coinvolgimento di più membri del Congresso con le criptovalute.

Bligen ha detto che ci sono ancora molti membri del Congresso che non sanno molto di criptovaluta, e le cose che sanno al riguardo “provengono da titoli appariscenti su truffe di criptovaluta, persone che travisano monete, persone che vengono defraudate dei loro soldi, massicce criptovalute istituzioni che falliscono – vedono la cosa da un punto di vista protezionistico”, ha detto.

“Se vuoi avere più persone amichevoli nei confronti delle criptovalute, ogni singolo ufficio deve avere una conoscenza di base di cosa sia la criptovaluta, perché è importante per i miei elettori e qual è il panorama politico che la regola. Tutti devono farlo. sappiatelo”, ha detto Bligen. “Se non si dispone di queste informazioni di base, ci saranno membri che brancolano, cercando di capire cos’è la tecnologia blockchain… sono necessari sforzi educativi più concertati. Non raggiungeremo solo un pubblico più istruito 2025, occorre lavorare.”

Bratcher ha aggiunto che, oltre agli sforzi educativi, l’industria potrebbe dover scendere a compromessi su alcune questioni – come la privacy – per compiere progressi reali con i legislatori.

“Ci troviamo a un bivio interessante quando si tratta di privacy”, ha detto Bratcher, riferendosi alla repressione in corso sui servizi di mixaggio di bitcoin come Tornado Cash e Samourai Wallet.

“Le persone nel settore delle risorse digitali vogliono dare priorità alla privacy sopra ogni altra cosa. Quando lavoriamo con il governo – statale, locale e nazionale, e anche con le forze dell’ordine – non possiamo permetterci il lusso di poter fare affermazioni grandiose al riguardo, Bratcher ha aggiunto: “Ci dovrà essere un equilibrio tra la privacy e le questioni relative al riciclaggio di denaro e alla sicurezza nazionale”.

Bratcher ha affermato che il cattivo comportamento da parte di servizi di privacy come Samourai – che ha promosso attivamente i suoi servizi di mixaggio ai “partecipanti al mercato oscuro/grigio” – rende molto più difficile lavorare con i funzionari eletti.

“Tornado Cash non è una collina su cui sono disposto a morire”, ha detto Bratcher. “Potremmo perdere una guerra se scegliamo di morire sulla collina di Tornado Cash.”

Politica a livello statale

Sebbene i riflettori siano puntati sulle elezioni nazionali, Bratcher e altri – come Dennis Porter, CEO e co-fondatore del gruppo di difesa del mining di bitcoin Satoshi Action Fund – stanno concentrando i loro sforzi sulla politica statale.

Il gruppo di Porter ha contribuito a introdurre progetti di legge in 16 stati degli Stati Uniti che forniscono protezione per l’estrazione di bitcoin e l’autocustodia. Il disegno di legge più avanzato è in Oklahoma, dove è stato approvato sia dalla Camera statale che dal Senato, ed è in attesa della firma del governatore Kevin Stitt (a destra).

“DC è divertente e sexy. Vengono spesi tonnellate di soldi, ma finora non abbiamo visto grandi vittorie: tutte le battaglie importanti si stanno svolgendo a livello statale”, ha detto Porter.

Porter ha affermato che l’industria dovrebbe continuare a rafforzare la propria presenza a Washington, ma ha affermato che non troverà la cura magica per tutti i suoi mali a Capitol Hill.

“Lo faremo a livello statale”, ha detto Porter. “Andremo, stato per stato, a sostenere una politica a favore delle risorse digitali, usando gli stati come laboratorio per la democrazia, alla fine prendendo quelle buone idee e usandole per influenzare la politica a livello federale. O come minimo, creando un regime normativo che protegga le persone a livello statale.”

Il modello di Porter per la regolamentazione delle criptovalute prende spunto dal programma dell’industria della cannabis, creando slancio e sostegno negli Stati fino a quando l’industria non sarà abbastanza potente da modellare le normative federali.

“Stiamo facendo fuoricampo ancora e ancora e ancora a Washington, ma non siamo ancora abbastanza forti”, ha detto Porter. “Penso solo che siamo più lontani da ciò di quanto pensiamo… La cosa importante per me è che dobbiamo dedicare molto più tempo a livello statale, investendo molto più denaro, perché le centinaia di milioni di dollari spesi in La DC, se spesa a livello statale, rimodellerebbe radicalmente il panorama politico e cambierebbe radicalmente la dinamica del bitcoin e degli asset digitali in America.”

Block Investors Need More to Assess Crypto Unit’s Earnings Potential, Analysts Say — TradingView News

DeFi Lending Protocol Nexo Allocates $12 Million for Ecosystem Incentives — TradingView News

Block, a payments technology company led by Jack Dorsey square could become a formidable player in the cryptocurrency mining industry, but Wall Street will need details on profit margins to gauge the positive impact of the business on earnings, analysts said.

Block signed its first large-scale cryptocurrency mining hardware pact on Wednesday, agreeing to supply its chips to bitcoin miner Core Scientific CORZbut no financial details were disclosed.

JP Morgan estimates the deal could net Block between $225 million and $300 million, but said more information will be needed to assess the hardware business’s long-term earnings potential.

“We still have a lot to learn in terms of the margins of this business, so we are hesitant to underwrite this transaction until we know more about the cadence and economics,” J.P. Morgan said.

The deal marks a major step for the payments company, which started out as “Square” in 2009 before rebranding in 2021 in a nod to its focus on crypto and blockchain technologies.

Dorsey, who co-founded and ran Twitter (now known as “X”), has long been bullish on Bitcoin. Block began investing 10% of its monthly gross profit from Bitcoin products into Bitcoin in April.

In the first quarter, nearly 9% of the company’s cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities consisted of bitcoin.

“This development (the deal with Core Scientific) is further evidence of Block’s role as an emerging leader in the crypto hardware ecosystem,” Macquarie analysts Paul Golding and Emma Liang wrote in a note.

Analysts say similar deals to follow could further validate Block’s reputation in the industry.

But J.P. Morgan said the stock’s performance will be determined by Block’s other segments, such as Square and Cash App.

Block shares have lost nearly 17% this year.

This Thursday’s US Consumer Price Index could be a game-changer for cryptocurrencies!

This Thursday's US Consumer Price Index could be a game-changer for cryptocurrencies!

3:30 PM ▪ 4 minute read ▪ by Luc Jose A.

This Thursday, attention will be focused on the United States with the anticipated release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This economic indicator could trigger significant movements in the markets, especially for the U.S. dollar and cryptocurrencies. While investors remain vigilant, speculation is rife about the potential impact of these key figures.

The Consumer Price Index: The Cornerstone of the American Economy

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a key measure of inflation which reflects changes in the price of goods and services purchased by American households. This index is calculated monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and serves as a barometer for the cost of living. The consumer price index covers a wide range of products, including food, clothing, housing, health care, and entertainment. Economists and policy makers closely monitor this data to anticipate economic trends and adjust monetary policies accordingly.

The June CPI data is due to be released this Thursday at 2:30 p.m., and is highly anticipated by investors. The current consensus is for headline annual inflation to decline to 3.1%, from 3.3% the previous month, while core inflation is expected to remain stable at 3.4%.

Consumer Price Index Release: What Does It Mean for the Dollar and Bitcoin?

Inflation as measured by the consumer price index is a key determinant of the value of the US dollar. If the consumer price index declines more than expected, it could reinforce expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, thus weakening the dollar. A weaker dollar could benefit GBP/USD, which recently broke a major resistance level, and Bitcoin, which could see its price rise due to increased demand from institutional investors.

Current forecasts suggest that headline inflation will decline to 3.1%, with core inflation holding steady at 3.4%. However, a surprise increase in the consumer price index could upset these expectations. Fed Governor Lisa Cook has mentioned the possibility of a soft landing for the economy, with inflation falling without a significant increase in unemployment, which could lead the Fed to consider rate cuts. This outlook is particularly favorable for stock markets and cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, which could benefit from a more accommodative monetary policy.

According to experts at 10x Research, especially their CEO Markus Thielen, Bitcoin could see a significant increase if the CPI data confirms a decline in inflation. Thielen indicated that Bitcoin could reach almost $60,000, a prediction that has already been reflected with a rise to $59,350 before the data was released.

Therefore, Thursday’s CPI data could determine the future direction of financial and cryptocurrency markets. High inflation could strengthen the US Dollarwhile a drop in inflation could pave the way for rate cuts by the Fed, thus giving a boost to Bitcoin and other digital assets.

Crowd Expects Bitcoin Bounce Suggests Further Losses, As RCO Finance Resists Crash

Crowd Expects Bitcoin Bounce Suggests Further Losses, As RCO Finance Resists Crash

Bitcoin is seeing a rebound after its recent price crash to $53,000. Other altcoins are subsequently recovering, with many cryptocurrency investors increasingly making new entries. However, Santiment warned against this hopium, suggesting that Bitcoin could extend its price losses.

As the broader market anticipates Bitcoin’s next price action, RCO Finance (RCOF) demonstrates resilience, attracting thousands of people in influxes. Read on for more details!

RCO Finance challenges the market crisis

RCO Finance (RCOF) is approaching $1 million in funding raised, amid growing interest from institutional traders seeking stability from Bitcoin’s wild price swings. While much of the broader market has seen significant price losses, RCO Finance has remained resilient, experiencing a surge in its pre-sale orders.

As a result, the project seems oblivious to the current market conditions, leading top market experts to take a deep dive into its ecosystem. They identified why RCO Finance was able to withstand the bearish pressure and its potential to hold up even stronger during the impending broader market crash.

The main reason was related to the innovative use of RCO Finance AI Trading Tools as a Robo Advisor. This tool has been integrated into RCO Finance’s cryptocurrency trading platform, offering full automation and highly accurate market forecasts to help investors make informed decisions.

Read on to learn more about this tool and other exciting features of RCO Finance!

Bitcoin Bounces Amid Impending Crash

Bitcoin is bouncing back, rallying 8% after plunging to its lowest point since February on July 5. While this rebound has triggered a bullish wave in the broader market, many cryptocurrency analysts predict it could be short-lived as Bitcoin is poised for an imminent crash toward the $50,000 zone.

On a Post X (formerly Twitter)Santiment revealed that while the crowd is anticipating a Bitcoin rally, this potential crash could trigger FUD and panic, causing average traders to wither and give up on Bitcoin. The platform noted that Bitcoin rally has historically occurred after these weak hands sold their holdings.

In particular, these cryptocurrency analysts speculate that the previous and upcoming Bitcoin crash is largely the result of bearish market psychology, as opposed to large BTC sell-offs by the German government and Mt. Gox. In particular, Ki Young Ju, founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, noticed that “the sales were rather negligible, given the overall liquidity of Bitcoin.”

Enjoy seamless investing on RCO Finance

RCO Finance is making investing easier and easier, democratizing access to high-level tools and cryptocurrency earnings that were once reserved for professional and institutional investors. It has also prioritized accessibility, allowing investors of all levels to easily navigate its features through its intuitive interface.

Leverage RCO Finance’s pre-sale earnings

An in-depth analysis of the RCO Finance ecosystem revealed that it has strong potential to rival and surpass major cryptocurrencies in the cryptocurrency industry. With a very limited total token supply and excellent tokenomics, RCO Finance is poised to reach its target of $1 billion in market cap upon its official launch.

RCO Finance has adopted a deflationary model, strategic burn mechanisms, and a vesting schedule. However, the project encourages long-term holding by focusing on sustained growth through incredibly high staking rewards.

RCOF tokens are currently available at an altcoin price of $0.01275 in progress Pre-sale Phase 1. This is likely the lowest price these coins will ever trade at, as they are expected to increase exponentially with each new presale phase.

With RCOF expected to be $0.4 at launch, investors jumping in now can expect a Return 30x on their investment!

bitget

Although Bitget is not the largest cryptocurrency exchange in terms of total volumes, it closed a favorable quarter. From April to June, the platform ranked third in net capital inflows and showed the strongest growth in market share compared to its competitors.

In the second quarter, investors moved $700 million into Bitget, and activity on the platform increased by nearly 50%.

The exchange has seen a surge in user funds, with Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), and Ethereum (ETH) rising 73%, 80%, and 153%, respectively, in the first six months of the year. This growth coincided with adding 2.9 million new users to the platform.

This has positioned Bitget among the top exchanges with the highest positive net inflows in the last quarter. Only Binance, which remains the market leader, and Bitfinex have performed better in this category.

According to CCData’s latest H2 Outlook Report, the exchange also recorded the highest market share growth among centralized exchanges, increasing 38.4% from H2 2023 to H1 2024.

Bitget’s spot trading volume has also seen a visible increase, going from $28 billion in Q1 to $32 billion in Q2, marking an increase of over 10%. The platform’s monthly visitors have reached 10 million. Although its volumes are increasing, Bitget still does not rank among the top 10 cryptocurrency exchanges in terms of spot trading.

The changes taking place in the centralized cryptocurrency exchange market show that competition is becoming more and more intenseAn example of this is the recent surge in popularity of Bybit, which has become the second largest exchange in terms of spot trading volumes.
