đ°đˇSouth Korea FSC chairman: "Difficult for crypto to replace legal tender"đ°đˇ
Kim Byung-hwan, the nominee for the chairmanship of the Financial Services Commission (FSC), expressed caution about allowing corporations to invest in cryptocurrencies. Kimâs comments were made during a confirmation hearing at the National Assemblyâs Political Affairs Committee on the 22nd of July.đŁ
Why is Kim cautious about BTC ETFs?
Kim Byung-hwan, who is set to succeed FSC Chairman Lee Bok-hyun later this summer, addressed this issue by responding to a Democratic Party lawmakerâs inquiry, where he said, âI am cautious about the issue of approving the launch of [crypto] accounts for corporations and institutions. Considering the confusion we have seen in the crypto market in the past, current policies should focus on investor protection.â
How will this benefit South Korea?
Strangely, this news comes amid recent actions by South Koreaâs financial security regulator, which introduced long-awaited measures on the 19th of July to protect users interacting with virtual asset service providers (VASPs). đł
Notably, this move by South Koreaâs financial authorities differs from the aggressive moves made by international regulators. This is because they do not consider virtual assets suitable as underlying assets for ETFs, leading to a ban on new listings and brokerage services. Thereby, they believe that the decisions about spot ETFs will prioritize financial market stability and the potential impact on financial institutions. Needless to say, they stress the need for further discussions on regulations, especially regarding the entry and operations of virtual asset providers.đ¸
That being said, Kim summed it all best when he said
âI think we need to prioritize user protection and maintaining market order, and first review regulations on entry and business practices of virtual asset operators.â
đĽˇHow Does the Trump Trade Affect Bitcoin Markets? đĽˇ
Key takeawaysđ:
~Donald Trumpâs potential victory in the upcoming U.S. elections could be good for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry.
~The 2024 election cycle has seen the rise of a cryptocurrency lobby, with crypto-backed political action committees raising over $102 million.
~Trumpâs selection of J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential candidate signals a strong alignment with cryptocurrency interests.
~Not everyone agrees that Trump is sold on cryptocurrency.
Donald Trump is the runaway favorite to win the U.S. elections in November after he survived an assassination attempt on July 13, according to Ethereum-based pollster Polymarket. This is a big deal for the millions of people in the United States who own Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies.
An Ethereum ETF is a type of ETF that tracks the price of ether (ETH). It allows investors to gain exposure to ETHâs price movements without having to deal with the difficulties of managing crypto wallets and exchange accounts. Investors can purchase shares of the Ethereum ETF allowing them to trade ETH through a familiar investment environment, such as a brokerage account.đ
How Does an Ethereum ETF Work?
An Ethereum ETF can either hold ETH directly or invest in futures contracts that are tied to the price of ETH. đ
Letâs take a closer look at how an Ethereum ETF works:
1. Fund creationđ°: Large financial institutions create shares of the ETF by purchasing ETH and contributing it to the ETF. They may also invest in futures contracts instead of holding ETH.
2. Tracking ETHâs priceđˇď¸: The Ethereum ETF closely tracks the price of ether. If its price rises, the value of the ETF shares should also increase, and vice versa.
3. Trading on exchangesđš: The shares of the Ethereum ETF can then be listed and traded on various stock exchanges, such as Nasdaq. Investors can buy and sell these shares throughout the trading day, just like they would with stocks.

XRP is experiencing a significant price surge due to several key developmentsđ:
1. Legal Victory Against the SEC: A recent court ruling determined that XRP sales are not investment contracts, a major win for Ripple in its ongoing legal battle with the SEC. This decision has substantially boosted investor confidence.đ
2. Potential XRP ETFs: There is increasing speculation and hope that XRP could be included in future exchange-traded funds (ETFs), particularly following the approval of Ether (ETH) ETFs in the U.S. This potential development is driving excitement and investment in XRP.đš
3. Coinbase Relisting: Coinbase has recently relisted XRP for trading in New York, which has also contributed to the positive momentum. This move follows the passing of the FIT21 bill aimed at providing clearer regulatory guidelines for cryptocurrencies.đ
4. Whale Accumulation: Large investors, known as "whales," have been accumulating substantial amounts of XRP. This accumulation indicates strong confidence in XRP's future prospects and has helped drive up the price.đł
These factors, combined with the overall bullish sentiment in the crypto market, are contributing to the recent pump in XRP's price.

âĄUS Energy Dept. Seeks Industry Inputs to Survey Crypto Mining Energy Usage âĄ
~The US Department of Energy (DOE) is once again attempting to survey crypto mining firms, after the first attempt was slapped by a lawsuit.
~The Energy Information Administration (EIA), the statistics arm of the DOE, on Wednesday, held a public webinar in the context. The meeting sought comments from the public, including crypto miners and industry players.
~The department, in February, forced an emergency collection of data request from crypto mining companies. The EIA noted Bitcoinâs 50% price increase over the last few months as reason for the emergency justification.
đKey Challenges in Tracking Crypto Mining Energy Usage đ
~Firstly, the EIA wants to address what important factors do industry players consider regarding energy use on PoW crypto mining. Secondly, the agency wants to know what data should it focus on to collect from miners. Finally, the EIA is looking if there are any existing information already available to replace the survey and cut costs.
~During the first survey, the EIA was aware of the âkey challengesâ in tracking crypto mining energy use, Harvey said. This includes difficulty of actually identifying market participants and the âdynamic natureâ of the mining industry.
~The survey, once designed, would require approval from the DOE.
