October 22, 2019 FUTURES PREDICTION: CFTC Chairman Heath Tarbert believes the crypto world will see ethereum futures contracts sometime in 2020. Speaking during DC Fintech Week, Tarbert said he “absolutely” believes ether futures are possible now that he has confirmed ether is a commodity not a security. “The volume to which it’ll trade, no idea, that’s where the markets decide." Full story WITH ADDED BITCOIN: The Opera web browser has added bitcoin e-commerce and TRON integration to its Android version. The enhanced crypto functionality will let Opera's Android users make bitcoin payments directly from a built-in digital wallet and interact with decentralized apps on the TRON blockchain. Full story CRYPTO CARRIES: In the era of negative interest rates, return-hungry investors could be tempted to borrow low-interest fiat currencies and invest in higher-yielding cryptocurrencies.The carry trade was seen in 2004-2008 when the Fed Reserve set rates at 5.25 percent when those in Japan were stuck near 0.5 percent. In a twist on the strategy, analysts say investors could be tempted by attractive returns on crypto loans, and potentially sell their bitcoin later after the miner reward halving next year. Full story SIM-SWAPS PLEA: Crypto investor Michael Terpin has written an open letter to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai requesting urgent action on SIM-swapping fraud. Terpin, who lost $24 million in a SIM-swap hack himself, asked the regulator to make mobile carriers hide customer passwords from employees and to provide a “no port” option, adding an extra hurdle before SIMs can be reassigned. Full story ADVOCACY DRIVE: Ripple has opened a new office in Washington, D.C., to strengthen its advocacy efforts for blockchain and cryptocurrency. Announced on Tuesday, the blockchain payments provider said the move comes as it expands a team to educate policymakers on the benefits of the tech. Full story GOLDEN CROSS: Bitcoin looks set to extend the ongoing recovery rally toward $8,800, with the hourly chart reporting a bullish golden crossover and the three-day chart signaling seller exhaustion. The outlook could turn bearish if prices find acceptance below the key Fibonacci retracement of $7,850. But down is looking the least likely direction for bitcoin right now. Full story ESTATE-BACKED TOKENS:  Liquefy, an asset securitization platform, will tokenize $1 billion in real estate , including a $600 million hotel in London, reports Ledger Insights. Tokenizing high-end real estate, it says, increases the properties’ liquidity by opening ownership to a larger number of smaller investors. “There’s huge potential for technology to enable new business models in the real estate ecosystem that lower operational costs,” said Adrian Lai, CEO of Liquefy. The effort is reportedly backed by a consortium of Gulf families.

Former NBA player Issac Austin allegedly swindled $825,000 from a Ghanian company in a Bitcoin scam. Austin, who played for seven NBA teams over an 8-year career, is said to have posed as a trustee for his own Bitcoin trading company, IEA and Tudor Trust. Austin allegedly convinced victims to invest their Bitcoin with his company with promises of turning a large profit with the demand that he repay them on July 3. Austin reportedly owed these victims $825,000 in cryptocurrency, but failed to repay, offering excuses such as transferring the coins to the wrong wallet. –GHANA WEB       2. Kenneth Blanco, director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has said that anti-money laundering (AML) laws apply to crypto as well. In Blanco's opinion, fintech companies that offer crypto users anonymity must comply with anti-money laws "just like everyone else." He started that the key point of the AML policy was to determine who is involved in the transaction, adding that it's not hard to get the necessary information such as name, address, account number, transaction, recipient, and amount. –AMERICAN BANKER       A MESSAGE FROM ODOO New Conference: Odoo Connect 2019 [Business Software]   Business leaders, entrepreneurs, CEOs/Founders, IT professionals, and developers from around the world come together for 3 days of workshops, presentations, and business software demos to help businesses connect their teams and scale their growth. Inside subscribers are invited to get a free pass! Free Pass   3. Ralph Hamers, ING CEO, has said that banks may cut their ties with Facebook if it launches the proposed stablecoin, Libra. He said that banks have to protect the financial system against the threat of criminal activity. Because of concerns Libra could be used for illegal gains, Hamers said that banks could take action by choosing not to "accept the client." Hamer's remarks follow those of Jaime Dimon, JPMorgan Chase CEO, who said last week that Libra is "a neat idea that will never happen." –FINANCIAL TIMES       4. The U.K. government has stated that it's up to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to decide whether there should be a ban on crypto derivatives for retail investors. John Glen, economic secretary to the Treasury, was responding to a series of questions regarding the U.K.'s stance toward crypto-assets and the FCA's ban consideration. Responding, Glen said that the final decision was in the hands of the financial regulator. –FINANCE FEEDS       5. Crypto-friendly banking app Revolut has announced that the growing partnership with Mastercard will see Revolut launch cards in the U.S. by the end of 2019. Since launching in 2015, the banking app has enjoyed a strong relationship with Mastercard across Europe. Today's announcement also means that Revolut will be able to reach markets in Asia Pacific and Latin America. –NEWSROOM MASTERCARD       6. New research shows that in the next 10 years, energy blockchain applications will see a 67 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR). According to Navigant Research, by 2028, the industry is projected to raise $19 billion in revenue, creating an annual market size worth $7.7 billion at a CAGR of 66.9 percent. –COINTELEGRAPH       7. The Cyberspace Administration of China has approved 309 additional blockchain services. These include cultural tourism, education, law, supply chains, e-commerce, and healthcare. Companies such as China Southern Airlines are part of the list, which is creating its own blockchain-based platform. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange also makes up the list for its cross-border blockchain service. –8BTC       8. Crypto developer Jimmy Song has taken to Twitter to say that many "marketing experts" who enter the space end up working for scam projects. As a major Bitcoin advocate, Song stated that, unlike Bitcoin, altcoins rely a lot on marketing to get their projects off the ground. He didn't mention any names, but earlier this month he provided a list as to the coins that have fallen from grace. –BITCOINIST       9. Crypto brokerage Bitcoin Suisse has invested $3 million into trading software provider CoinRoutes. Bitcoin Suisse has said that it has acquired a "sizeable minority" stake in CoinRoutes, but didn't disclose the percentage. The main reason for the investment is due to the fact that CoinRoutes' algorithmic trading software sources crypto trading data from 40 exchanges. –THE BLOCK       10. Crypto exchange Bittrex is moving its platform from the "Blockchain Island" of Malta to Liechtenstein. The company said that it will be halting its operations in the European country October 29, but didn't give a reason why it was closing its doors. Upon leaving Malta, it will operate under Bittrex Global out of Liechtenstein. –MEDIUM       This newsletter was written and curated by Rebecca Campbell.
