Major
Headlines
Tezos Launches
Betanet
One year ago the Tezos ICO raised
$232 million, but since then has only been in the headlines for
investor complaints and SEC fines. $232 Million still ranks as
the second largest ICO of all time.
Tezos Co-Founder Arthur Breitman developed the ICO while he was
still working for Morgan Stanley - which ended up getting him a
$20,000 for breaching his contract by not disclosing his “other
business practices.” Early on Tezos got flack for delaying the
release of ICO tokens. Investors were upset because the delay cost
the tokens to lose significant value. The network itself has seen a
similar delay but here we are one year later, and there is some
positive news! The Betanet has launched… which means it still could
be months before the Tezos network is fully operational.
Coinbase Acquires 3rd
Securities
Coinbase will likely soon be a
licensed broker-dealer. They have acquired securities dealer
Keystone Capital Corp, Digital Wealth LLC and Venovate Marketplace,
Inc. They are doing everything right in order to build
relationships with governing bodies and attain proper licensing by
buying out existing financial companies to establish alternative
trading system license (ATS), and a registered investment advisor
(RIA) license as well. In the future Coinbase will be able to
create fully legal crypto-assets of all kinds, i.e. “tokenization”
of securities, real estate or collectables.
Serious Crypto-Regulation
From Abu Dhabi
Regulators out of the second most
populous, and capital of the United Arab Emirates developed
a 34 page guideline to
cryptocurrencies. The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is an
international financial center that works to develop economic
diversification innovation and sustainable initiatives. They held a
public consultation on cryptocurrencies in May that became the
basis for a “framework to regulate spot crypto asset activities,
including those undertaken by exchanges, custodians and other
intermediaries in ADGM.” The important thing here is that extensive
cryptocurrency regulation like this is all so new. Cryptocurrencies
are a unique creation, that don’t quite fit into the existing rule
books. Frameworks like this give other governing bodies something
to work off of. They also released a separate guide to ICOs back in
October of 2017.
