Countries That First Outlawed Crypto But Then Embraced It (#GotBitcoin)

As time progresses, the revolution of peer-to-peer digital currencies picks up speed. Countries That First Outlawed Crypto But Then Embraced It (#GotBitcoin)

Now, countries like India and Iran, which previously had a harsh legal stance on cryptocurrencies, are warming up to the idea of adopting them. In India, for instance, the Supreme Court has struck down a blanket ban that was placed on banks dealing with crypto-related businesses back in April 2018.


In Iran — while the country’s central bank had issued a blanket ban on cryptocurrencies in a misguided move to prevent capital flight due to fears of sanctions by the United States — the central bank is now looking to establish a sovereign stablecoin in a move to expand its digital banking operations.


Here is a list of countries that first outlawed crypto but have since made a turnaround.

India

In April 2018, the Reserve Bank of India issued a blanket ban on all banks doing business with crypto-related firms. The ban came into effect about three months later that same year after which ensued a litany of petitions from India’s crypto community trying to end the ban.

It was not until a few days ago that the country’s Supreme Court struck down RBI’s controversial ban with a ruling that declared RBI’s action as “disproportionate.” The three-judge bench that presided over the matter issued a joint verdict that indicated a lack of hard facts to substantiate the ban.

It seems that the only legal hurdle that remains for India’s budding crypto space is a 2019 draft bill on a possible crypto ban that was delayed by parliament. It might be too early to celebrate the move to lift the ban, however, for India’s crypto community, its mature and thoughtful approach while dealing with regulators has certainly paid off.

With the ban lifted, Indian crypto traders and enthusiasts will be able to enjoy the convenience of making direct deposits to exchanges in rupees from their bank accounts.

Also, there is a generally optimistic mood in the country’s crypto space with government consultants and crypto enthusiasts agreeing that the recent verdict will have a positive impact on the country’s crypto trading volume, as well as the entire blockchain space in general.

Iran

Iran has had a roller coaster ride with cryptocurrency regulation. In April 2018, the country’s president, Hassan Rouhani, in an attempt to halt a national currency crisis, led the government to issue a ban that prevented banks from making deals in cryptocurrencies as a result of money-laundering concerns.

On the backdrop of restored fears of U.S. economic sanctions, a circular issued by the country’s central bank read: “Banks and credit institutions and currency exchanges should avoid any sale or purchase of these currencies or taking any action to promote them.”

At the time, Iran’s national currency continued to plummet as the government moved to arrest dozens of money traders, sentencing some to lengthy prison terms while issuing hefty fees to others.

This is despite the fact that the Iranian government has shown major interest in crypto to an extent where the country’s central bank is thought to be developing a rial-backed cryptocurrency to evade sanctions.

Furthermore, Iran’s top banks have developed a gold-backed stable coin called PayMon in a bid to generate liquidity.

There have also been reports of Iran negotiating with eight other countries, including Russia, Germany and the United Kingdom, in a move to carry out financial transactions in cryptocurrency as a way of circumventing the ongoing economic sanctions from the U.S.

Venezuela

As the economic collapse began to deepen in Venezuela, many citizens reverted to using cryptocurrencies as a way of securing the value of their dwindling savings.

Although the government has since launched the Petro, Venezuela’s oil-backed cryptocurrency, many have begun to mine Bitcoin (BTC) as well as other altcoins in a bid to increase their personal earnings.

With inflation on the national currency bolivar on the rise, the government has also placed a freeze on the rates of utility bills to an extent where a monthly electricity bill almost equals the price of a cup of coffee.

This made Venezuela the cheapest country in which to mine Bitcoin, with a cost estimated at around $530 per BTC. Despite the low electricity rates in the country, the Venezuelan government has since moved to ban all imports of mining equipment to prevent complete abandonment of the state currency.

Besides, Bitcoin miners in Venezuela have been on the receiving end of pressure and intimidation from the government over their mining activities.

In one report, a Bitcoin miner from Venezuela recounts attempts by the national police to shake him down for cash. Even though Bitcoin mining is not illegal in Venezuela, the high profits miners earn have led authorities to keep a close eye on all operations.

Warmer And Warmer

In January 2020, the world bank released a gloomy outlook on global economic growth as a result of ongoing geopolitical tensions across the world, uncertainties from tariffs and fears of a fresh global debt crisis.

Apart from the countries aforementioned, several central banks have reduced their interest rate to below zero in an effort to protect local economies against an impending global recession.

Bitcoin offers a suitable alternative because it can be used as a means of payments in transactions thus providing liquidity. Meanwhile, there is also an argument to be made that BTC could be utilized as a store of value just like gold, therefore, acting as a safe haven.

As opposed to fiat money, cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, are built on an immutable and predictable ledger that prevents double-spending or printing of money, which is a problem that has contributed to the rising global debt crisis.

As time goes by, it appears as though more countries are starting to realize that cryptocurrencies may become a useful tool in a fight against economic recession.

US Plays Diminished Role In Bitcoin Industry As Other Countries Buy Up Remaining Supply

 

Countries That First Outlawed Crypto But Then Embraced It (#GotBitcoin)

 

Bitcoin carries on after Gary Gensler SEC clampdown on largest exchanges.

* Customer Fund Flows On Exchanges Mostly Steady, Data Shows

* Even Tokens Labeled By The SEC As Unregistered Securities Rise

Cryptocurrency advocates appear to be taking in stride the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s widening crackdown on the digital asset sector.

Token prices were mostly higher on Tuesday after the agency accused Coinbase Global Inc. of running an illegal exchange.

Many coins were on the verge of recovering all the losses posted Monday, when the regulator sued rival Binance Holdings Ltd., alleging a slew of violations.

Outflows of customers’ funds from Binance and Coinbase initially spiked when the first suit was filed Monday before slowing over the past 24 hours, according to blockchain data from two analytics firms.

Overall, Binance has been hit with about $1.3 billion of net outflows as of 11:30 a.m. New York tune on Tuesday.

Nansen, which said Coinbase does not disclose its crypto wallets on the blockchains, estimated the US firm had outflow of about $1.28 billion during the same period. Activity appears to have slowed Tuesday.

Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, said that outflows were “muted” since the news broke on SEC’s lawsuit against Coinbase.

 

Countries That First Outlawed Crypto But Then Embraced It (#GotBitcoin)

 

In the lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase, many tokens were listed as unregistered securities by the SEC, including Binance’s BNB tokens, Cardano’s ADA, Solana’s SOL, Polygon’s MATIC, Filecoin’s FIL, Algorand’s ALGO, and Dfinity’s ICP. The prices on all but Polygon’s token were positive on Tuesday.

“Some of the tokens listed as securities did underperform relatively, but I think this shows that US institutions already had decreased their relative exposure,” said Shiliang Tang, chief investment officer at crypto investment firm LedgerPrime. “There’s also just not much leverage in the system anymore in crypto, so we’re not seeing much liquidations.”

Bitcoin, which accounts for about half of the $1.1 trillion crypto market, rose about 4.8% to $26,873 on Tuesday. It has slumped 5.9% on Monday, falling to the lowest price level since April. The market bellwether is still up about 58% this year, after tumbling 64% in 2022.

Underpinning Bitcoin’s partial comeback since the start of the year were expectations that the banking crisis that erupted in the US in March would force the Federal Reserve to hit pause on rate increases.

That allowed Bitcoin bulls to raise the case that the token stands to gain from lower real interest rates, and that it offers shelter from turmoil in traditional finance.

According to Clara Medalie, director of research at crypto data firm Kaiko, Binance and its US platform Binance US accounted for 54% of the global crypto trading market share, while Coinbase accounted for about 6.5%.

However, among US exchanges, Coinbase’s volume stood at 53% of the trading volume, making it the largest in America.

As Bloomberg reported, after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission sued Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao in March, some trading shops such as Jane Street Group and Jump Crypto already scaled back their exposure on crypto.

“Bigger trading shops have been more mindful in how they trade on Binance since the CFTC lawsuit dropped, so a lot of the potential risk has already been managed,”said Michael Safai, partner of quantitative trading firm Dexterity Capital.
