Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Financial Market Committee of the State Duma of Russia, stated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will become popular within five years and will be used as a standard for international payments.
He also revealed that Russia may start using digital rubles for international transactions in the second half of 2025, but first it needs to be tested and widely implemented domestically, including by legal entities. He also suggested testing budget financing with smart contracts as soon as possible.
Aksakov also mentioned that preliminary testing of CBDC international transactions may involve China or Belarus, as the two countries are technically close and have friendly relations. (CryptoSlate)

So, to answer your question, is money greater than knowledge?

We may learn from multiple stories as the one above. Most of them will lead us to the same conclusion: people may possess generational fortunes but if they lack knowledge they will destroy their wealth.

On the other hand, with knowledge you canmake money and most importantly keep it.

Knowledge is powerful.

#Layer2 USD/JPY closed Wednesday at 148.34, up by 0.33%.Fed kept rates steady but signalled high rates will be kept for longer.Monetary Policy divergences to weaken the JPY.On Wednesday, the USD/JPY closed with gains above 148.00 as the USD got a boost amid the hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) stance, which fueled US yields to multi-year highs.As expected, the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 5.25%-5.50%. Still, it surprised the market with its projections to keep rates at 5.1% for 2024 (revised from 4.6%), and virtually sent a message that it will keep rates at restrictive levels for a longer time. In addition, the projections for rates in 2023, via the so-called dot plots, were kept at 5.6% and signalled one last like in the remainder of the year, and markets are placing bets for it to be in December. As a reaction, the short-term US yields rose to multi-year highs, with the 2,5 and 10-year rates advancing to 5.17%, 4.57% and 4.40%, respectively, making the US Dollar gain interest.On the JPY’s side, eyes are on Friday's Bank of Japan (BoJ) meeting decision.  The bank has already stated that changes to monetary policy won't be considered until local wage and inflation indicators match their projections. However, markets will look for any clues to start discounting a potential lift-off in the near term. In the meantime, as the Fed’s tightening cycle isn’t over yet, divergences between the two banks will continue weakening the Yen unless the BoJ leaves its ultra-dovish stance.USD/JPY Levels to watch Based on the daily chart analysis, a bullish outlook is noted for USD/JPY in the near term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands above its midline in positive territory, further validated by the decreasing red bars on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). In addition, the pair is above the 20,100,200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), indicating that the bulls are in command of the broader picture. Support levels: 147.80, 147.10 (20-day SMA), 146.00. Resistance levels: 148.50, 149.00, 150.00.USD/JPY Daily ChartUSD/JPYOverviewToday last price148.21Today Daily Change0.35Today Daily Change %0.24Today daily open147.86 TrendsDaily SMA20146.82Daily SMA50144.15Daily SMA100142.03Daily SMA200137.46 LevelsPrevious Daily High147.92Previous Daily Low147.51Previous Weekly High147.95Previous Weekly Low145.9Previous Monthly High147.38Previous Monthly Low141.51Daily Fibonacci 38.2%147.76Daily Fibonacci 61.8%147.67Daily Pivot Point S1147.61Daily Pivot Point S2147.35Daily Pivot Point S3147.19Daily Pivot Point R1148.02Daily Pivot Point R2148.18Daily Pivot Point R3148.43#opbnb #crypto2023 #ETH #BTC

The former FTX CEO will remain in jail following three judges with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals calling the arguments behind a motion for release "unpersuasive".In a Sept. 21 order, Circuit Judges John Walker Jr., Denny Chin, and William Nardini denied SBF’s motion for early release, which his team argued largely was due to First Amendment issues. The ruling said Lewis Kaplan — the judge overseeing SBF’s criminal case — had “correctly determined” that Bankman-Fried’s speech amounted to witness tampering.“The record shows that the district court thoroughly considered all of the relevant factors, including [Bankman-Fried’s] course of conduct over time that had required the district court to repeatedly tighten the conditions of release,” said the Sept. 21 order. “It also shows that the district court contemplated a less restrictive alternative offered by [SBF] —an order limiting his communications with the press—but reasonably concluded this was not ‘a workable solution longer term.’”The judges added:"[T]he district court did not err in concluding that [SBF] had failed to rebut the presumption in favor of detention. We have reviewed [the defense team's] additional arguments and find them unpersuasive."Bankman-Fried previously admitted to releasing former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison's private journals to a New York Times reporter, resulting in some of its contents being published — an act prosecutors labeled as witness intimidation. SBF's lawyers also argued for early release from jail on the grounds the lack of consistent Internet access prevented him from preparing an adequate defense for his criminal trial.The court had been deliberating on the matter following a Sept. 19 hearing in which both the Justice Departure and SBF's defense team had roughly five minutes to present their cases for the former FTX CEO remaining in jail and early release, respectively. Judge Kaplan revoked SBF's $250-million bail on Aug. 11, whereupon he was remanded to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.The appellate court ruling was likely one of the last chances for Bankman-Fried to be freed ahead of his first criminal trial, scheduled to begin on Oct. 3 — less than two weeks. His second trial is expected to start in March 2024. He has pleaded not guilty to all charge#opbnb #ETH #BTC s.
