HONG KONG SHUTS DOWN ALL UNLICENSED CRYPTO EXCHANGES - Hong Kong regulators previously issued a warning to all cryptocurrency exchanges operating in the region, stating that said exchanges must either apply for licensing by February 29th… - … or cease all operations in the region by today, May 31st. - The period saw 22+ crypto exchanges apply for licensing in Hong Kong. - However, it also saw multiple high profile CEXs, including HTX, and Gate.io withdraw from the jurisdiction entirely. - Most gave no reasoning for their sudden withdrawals. However, Gate did explain that it required a “major overhaul” of its operations before it was able to comply with Hong Kong’s requirements. - The regulators have promised to announce a list of approved exchanges by June 1st, and those that have not been approved will also be required to terminate their operations. - The news follows several months of Hong Kong’s SFC clamping down on its cryptocurrency sector - a period that has even seen warnings against specific projects.

Looks like a lot of these 'not real' transactions the equivalent of email newsletters or push notifications. According to Visa, the not-real transactions are like the equivalent of email newsletters, calendar push notifications, bill reminders... and spam! A lot of what we communicate over the Internet is automated. The same is true when it comes to transactions, and stablecoins - or any public/blockchain transaction - should show the same. What Visa said: "For instance, developers can create automated bot programs that perform activities such as stablecoin arbitrage, liquidity provision, and market making, among others. These activities are vital for sustaining the growing decentralized finance (defi) ecosystem. However, the onchain transactions resulting from interactions with these automated programs don't resemble settlement in the traditional sense." Push notifications aren't real communication in the traditional sense, but they're still important. It's harder to look at financial transactions through the same lens, but they're more or less the same. Next step is to make sure there's a blockchain equivalent of a spam filter... https://lnkd.in/gtjNi7Ex

"Traditional finance institutions are increasingly exploring ways of putting assets like bonds, credit and funds on blockchain rails, known as RWA tokenization, to pursue operational benefits. KfW, the largest development bank in Germany and owned by the German states, has teamed up with Boerse Stuttgart Digital (BSD) as infrastructure provider partner in preparation for its upcoming blockchain-based digital bond offering, the companies said in a Monday press release. KfW plans the bond issuance in the coming weeks under the German Electronic Securities Act (eWpG). BSD will oversee the crypto wallets and secure the private keys during the issuance and redemption processes." #tokenization #germany #digitalassets #crypto #cryptoassets https://lnkd.in/e3ntqtG4
