Deryck Graham and Nitin Guar explore the seismic shift in the world of #cryptocurrency with PayPal's unprecedented move into the stablecoin arena.

Meanwhile, Coinbase, one of the leading exchanges, is making bold moves by launching a derivative exchange in Bermuda and considering the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as its international hub, promising new opportunities for crypto enthusiasts. #Bittrex #Binance #Coinbase #cryptocurrency #cryptoexchange We also bring you the intriguing story of Steven Nerayoff, an early adviser to the Ethereum network, whose criminal extortion charges were recently dropped by a New York judge. Nerayoff's lawyers claim that he was framed by the FBI, alleging an elaborate setup to gather evidence against influential figures in the crypto industry, including Vitalik Buterin and Caitlin Long. The details revealed in this case are nothing short of explosive, shedding light on the intricate dynamics within the crypto space. #Ethereum #StevenNerayoff #FBI #cryptolaw #cryptoinvestigation Furthermore, we explore a new angle in the ongoing regulatory landscape: the US government's contemplation of a 30% tax on Bitcoin mining. This proposal aims to curb the production of BTC and raise questions about the motives behind the US government's actions. Is this part of a broader war on crypto? And could it be an indication of a shifting global order in the realm of cryptocurrencies? We dive into these intriguing questions and examine the potential implications. #Bitcoinmining #taxproposal #regulation #cryptowar #globalcryptotrends Don't miss this captivating episode of Beyond Bitcoin, where we unpack the implications of Bittrex and Binance's exits, Coinbase's international ambitions, the dramatic legal battle surrounding Steven Nerayoff, and the US government's tax proposal on Bitcoin mining.

In this episode of Beyond Bitcoin, hosted by Deryck Graham and Nitin Gaur, special guest Ralf Kubli from Casper Labs discusses creating efficient money and asset markets using blockchain technology. He believes that blockchain is the single most important technology in finance since the introduction of computers in banks in the 1960s and that it brings efficiency, transparency, and observability to financial transactions. The hope is that this technology will lead to more democratization, more efficiency, and lower costs. The goal is to build a capital market that is so efficient and so relevant that it will compete with today's established capital markets locations in the world. Sit back and listen to what the future of blockchain technology can do for the banking and investment industries.

In the latest episode of Beyond Bitcoin, we discuss the grilling of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler by the House Financial Services Committee. Chairman Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) criticized Gensler for the SEC's enforcement actions against 50+ crypto companies, calling the approach "nonsensical" given the lack of clarity in the law. Gensler, however, insisted on the SEC's authority to regulate crypto. In stark contrast, the EU Parliament passed the ground-breaking MiCA Crypto Law, bringing comprehensive regulation to crypto assets across the 27-country bloc. Major crypto firms welcomed the legislation, which establishes Europe as the first continent with such extensive regulation. Lastly, we anticipate Nitin Guar's presentation at Consensus 2023, where the diverse crypto community will gather to discuss challenges, opportunities, and the future of the industry amidst the most tumultuous year in crypto history. Despite the volatility in token prices, innovation in the crypto space continues to thrive.

In this episode of Beyond Bitcoin, hosts Deryck Graham and Nitin Gaur discuss the current state of crypto regulation in the US and compare it to other countries around the world. While Switzerland, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia are developing progressive crypto-relevant regulations, the SEC in the US appears to be taking a different approach. As the SEC engages or notifies US-based central exchanges, payment tokens, security tokens, and tokens deemed to be securities, many are questioning what the US is afraid of when it comes to cryptocurrency. Could it be the impact that DeFi will have on traditional finance or the potential threat to the US dollar as a reserve currency? Deryck and Nitin delve into these complex issues and the potential implications of the SEC's actions on the future of cryptocurrency in the US. Join them as they explore the different approaches taken by countries around the world and the possible consequences of falling behind.

In this episode of Beyond Bitcoin, we're joined by Kristen Ragusin, SVP of Wealth Management at Raymond James and author of "The End of Scarcity: The Dawn of the New Abundant World." Kristen discusses the flaws in the current fiat-based financial system, which creates dependence on borrowers and results in asset bubbles and rising debt. She differentiates between wealth and money, noting that money should equal people's productive value.

Kristen highlights the historical evolution of money, with asset-backed and producer-backed systems offering stability but being prone to inflation and control. The debate between Central Bank Digital Currencies and cryptocurrencies leaves the future of money uncertain. The ideal form of money should maintain stable value, represent some value, and be flexible. Blockchain technology may offer solutions for a more balanced monetary system, but the way forward is unclear.

Seeking regulation direction from the 89-year-old US Security Exchange Act for DEX’s DAO’s DLT’s and highly fungible global digital currencies may leave the US well behind.

Since the first SEC action in July 2013, the SEC has brought a total of 127 cryptocurrency-related enforcement actions as of December 31, 2022.  In 2023 the SEC appear to be trying to set legal precedents to enact variations to the law using these outdated regulations.  Where to from here for the USA and what opportunities will arise in other more progressive jurisdictions like Switzerland and Singapore?

Sam discusses the challenge of dealing with a principle-based regulation in the US, as opposed to a more prescriptive regulation in Europe, the importance of investor and consumer protection and the role of the US in the global financial system. Sam sees the existing regulatory framework as sufficient, but believes there is still a need for more clarity going forward.  Bullish on DLT and a little Bearish on public blockchains this is an opportunity to hear the views of someone engaged in the world of regulation.

The cryptocurrency industry has seen some positive developments in recent times, despite the ongoing debate on the SEC versus crypto issue. One of the bright spots is the industry's resiliency, with Bitcoin leading the growth in the market. The Bitcoin protocol, which allows users to inscribe references to digital art or other items, has sparked a lot of debate on whether Bitcoin should be purely a payment system or not. The inscription protocol, called Ordinance, was launched a month ago and has enabled the creation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which give rise to a massive ecosystem that was previously untouched by the Bitcoin system. NFTs on Bitcoin have brought utility into the system, expanding its use cases beyond being a payment instrument or a store of value. However, Bitcoin maximalists still see NFTs as controversial and against the pureness of Bitcoin.

Other positive developments in the industry include Solana's resurgence, with over 400 projects popping up on the layer one protocol. Helium is also decentralizing telecom networks with HMD tokens, allowing people to host low range, wide area networks and monetize them. The developments in the cryptocurrency industry have shown the industry's resilience and innovative capabilities.

President Biden’s Executive Order on March 9 2022 appears to be the beginning of a new phase in the USA.

In short, it states

(a) We must protect consumers, investors, and businesses in the United States.

(b) We must protect United States and global financial stability and mitigate systemic risk.

(c) We must mitigate the illicit finance and national security risks posed by the misuse of digital assets.

(d) We must reinforce United States leadership in the global financial system and in technological and economic competitiveness,

(e) We must promote access to safe and affordable financial services.

From Secretary of Treasury to the SEC no less than 17 departments were ordered to review and provide recommendations

The outcome so far - In February the SEC heightened its wave of attacks on the industry on Staking, then stable coins and now suggesting it will put restrictions on Hedge Fund Investment into the industry.

Maybe Mahatma Gandhi's great statement is applicable. "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Regulatory changes, liquidity coming alive, market subsectors getting their time in the sun and inflation not considered as problematic as believed earlier. There points are setting the investment strategy into crypto for 2023. Recently regulators are pressuring banks not to deal with crypto and Binance US just halted US dollar transfers. These are important on-ramps to the space. This is balanced by non-bank entities providing solutions in many market sectors and currencies is expected to create a mix of opportunities for global citizens.

Correlation: Crypto was once considered uncorrelated with traditional markets but now we are seeing more correlation. Observation - it is all about the time frame. Over a few months it may be correlated but over 5 years it has not proven to have a high level of correlation.

Correlated or not, both funds look at what drives blockchain solutions that generate value. Looking at NFT projects the need to store value, provide statistics and transfer digital assets is seen as important for the future of NFT’s.

Crypto assets have a lot of subsectors within the broader crypto umbrella. The first use case of smart contracts was DeFi and Apollo considers the next major use cases to be NFT’s so the Apollo team thinks there is going to be an intersection between NFT’s and Defi such as NFT derivatives.

Much of this knowledge is not understood by the professional or sophisticated traditional investor which is where the value add comes from specialist fund manages such as Apollo Crypto Fund and Portal.

These types of funds attract UHNW and Family offices investors not superannuation and institutions in the Australian market at least.

Surprise – institutional investors are still driven by FUD and FOMO despite their size and sophistication, they are humans and reacting accordingly.

Despite the volatility both Apollo and Portal have had very few redemptions so those that have invested have a much better understanding and therefore tolerance to the volatility of the crypto asset class.

We continue to believe that “Fortune Favours the Informed”.

Many people have lost faith in cryptocurrencies due to high profile theft, fraud, and bankruptcies within the industry, which has caused pricing to implode. We remind ourselves that the industry is still in its infancy and will continue to experience tremendous innovation, evolution, and exponential growth.  Individual investors who can effectively evaluate the landscape, understand how the marketplace is evolving, and determine who will be the future leaders in the industry will be highly successful. Hedge funds will play a much larger role in the industry once security and operational issues improve and as future markets are expanded to other blockchain opportunities.  “Fortune Favours the Informed”.

We began with macroeconomic slowdowns then 3 Arrows, Celcius & Voyager & finished with FTX.  Meanwhile, Eth completed the Merge, new blockchains appeared & the user base grew globally.  2023 could be the year the institutional investors move in. As we have often said Crypto grows in dog years and what happened this year could well have taken 9 years in traditional finance.  The takeaways for 2022 were that Central Finance "CeFi" fraud smashed the reputation of an asset class based on trustless decentralized solutions - ironic hey.  This has resulted in movements to cold wallets and custodians and to the increased use of DEX'S or decentralised exchanges.  This will be little comfort for the 1 million+ investors who had their money and tokens rehypothecated, lent out, and frankly stolen by the likes of FTX and Celcius.  More robust regulations and penalties are welcomed and now expected!  On the brighter side, we see 2023 being led by the professional class of investors and institutions first with the acquisition of distressed exchanges and funds and then infrastructure projects. Emotion does not tend to dominate insto's so "while all around are losing their heads" they are calculating entry strategies.   Finally a big thank you to our listeners who have listened to or viewed Beyond Bitcoin 35,000+ times in 2022.  Have a great holiday break and see you in 2023!

On a show called Beyond Bitcoin we discuss Bitcoin as the bell weather to the sector and consider the technicals driving it.  Right now many of these are pointing to BTC being oversold and comparing it to the same signals in early 2019 when it was just US$5,000.  However, BTC's correlation to NASDAQ and macroeconomic conditions still plays a major role in its price direction.  Join us today to discuss the somewhat more positive views for BTC investment and consider the advanced movements of institutional investment in an asset class still in its embryonic years.

Our special guest today, Chris Molloy, Founder of Digital Infrastructure Associates, often refers to Bitcoin miners as the Dung Beetles of the energy market crawling around looking for unused power or power wastage.  With the ability to turn on or off 60-100 megawatts of power (the equivalent of an aluminium smelter) to moderate the power consumption on the grid. Power companies and energy suppliers are starting to see a symbiotic relationship with miners and how it could form part of their business models.  Join us for a discussion of how an isolated island like Tasmania off the south coast of Australia can play a role in the global decentralised world of bitcoin mining.

As the credibility of the crypto asset class takes another hit prices are down and we ask the question; is this about disclosure or corporate opportunity?  Alameda a wholly owned subsidiary of FTX with what was considered a robust balance sheet turns out to hold mostly digital assets either created by FTX or funded by FTX.  Tradfi is likely to dine on this for weeks but for the world’s newest asset class it is likely to be another case of growing pains.

Great Conversation with Sagar Barvaliya  - a Investor, where he shared his perspective on builders and projects.

Sagar has an interesting journey  he shared with us, he was trained as an engineer and previously worked for Porsche and start-up accelerators before deciding to go "all-in" into the crypto space. As an Engineer, He was always close to building something and the actual job of a civil engineer is to build bridges and Houses, Now he is building the bridges in Web3. He is a Chief Networking officer/Principal at Blockrocket and helps portfolio startups with 360 degree advisory.

We dissected into VC investment and projects trends, where Out of all the overarching sectors in the blockchain industry in decentralized finance (DeFi,) centralized finance (CeFi,) blockchain infrastructure, Web3 and nonfungible tokens (NFT,) DeFi was basically always king for VC capital inflows. That all changed in Q2, when Web3 garnered around 42% of all the individual deals, leaving DeFi in a far distant second at 16%. This trend was highlighted further when analyzing the most active investors, who made around 42% of all deal activity for Q2, a drop from 65% in Q1.

Our discussion focused on what is shaping the industry and a Venture perspective.

Big investment, banking and administrative institutions see digital assets as both threat and opportunity and are seeking to be central and relevant in a space which is largely decentralised.  Will this work in the long term?

Resistance is Futile, you will be assimilated. Words from the Borg to the small Star Ship "Blockchain" but will institutions try to assimilate blockchain solutions or will the technology ultimately be too efficient for them to compete?  This week we discussed the entry of the big institutional exchanges, fund managers and administrators and see if their engagement in the DLT world is part of the legacy transition of the technology and the generations that are using it or a long-term claim to maintain the relevance of the giants in the digital realm.

From a global macroeconomic point of view, traditional equity markets have seen increased volatility and weakness due to a confluence of factors.  Add the Terra Luna collapse and we have seen high levels of volatility in the crypto-asset markets.  We discuss both in detail.

Our view is that the crypto assets space continues to show very positive signs of both exponential user base growth and substantial VC funding commitment and that this space is likely to de-couple its correlation to the traditional equities markets and continue its rapid growth commensurate with that of a new asset class.

And the results are amazing! Data in any real market tells a story, explains the unexplainable, and, sometimes, raises more questions that lead to a deeper understanding! Crypto markets and the data that they generate are no different, as they are riddled with complexity, paradox, and at times revealing insights hiding in plain sight! In this podcast we speak to Petros Zerfos, a quantitative research scientist and a financial services industry scholar to help us better understand the challenges and opportunities in this emerging area. He shared his perspectives and experience, and, above all, a simplified understanding of this enormously complex topic. This is a must listen!

Like so much of what is rapidly evolving in the diverse world of digital assets the Security Token Offerings (STO’s) are both a new construct for the digital world and a bridge between traditional fund-raising exchanges.  The difference is STO’s operate like a global exchange might without the size of investment and country of origin becoming the fences that corral investors.  Like STM says – They take the Wall away from Wall Street.  Enjoy the continued journey into the realm of digital assets.

We explore the role Stablecoins might play in increasing volatility through correlation with traditional markets and what this means for two parallel financial systems. 

Consider this, the high yields in crypto markets is to attract liquidity, and while the risk-on risk-off equation at play will attract capital and issuance of Stablecoins it also inherits the mechanics of the global macro, which implies that any shifts in traditional finance capital markets such as interest rates, money supply, inflation etc. which plays an important role in calculus that goes into asset valuation may begin to impact the crypto market which in principle is meant to be independent and disruptive.

Do these coins present the best opportunity for DeFi to solve the Stablecoin trilemma of scalability, decentralization and efficiency but is there a better way?  This equation is worth the study and interesting, but also ironic.
