According to Anatoly Aksakov, the head of the State Duma Committee on the financial market, regulations, and laws regarding financial assets are right around the corner stating:
If we manage to get a reaction, for example, next week, it will be possible to submit the bill for consideration in the second reading.
Chinese police have seized around $14 million in cryptocurrency assets and even some supercars in a scam about fake tokens. According to recent reports, around 10 people have been arrested. The scam was basically a scheme where people needed to send Ethereum to an address to get HT (Huobi Tokens) in return. However, instead of real HT tokens, victims received an identical token that had no value. It’s worth noting that Huobi had nothing to do with this scam.
Industry
DeFi is clearly on the rise and startups and businesses are taking advantage of it. Three crypto firms, Cosmos, Polkadot, and Terra are partnering up to launch a new DeFi service called Anchor. According to the creators, DeFi hasn’t produced any simple way of having savings outside cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
To address this pressing need we introduce Anchor, a savings protocol on the Terra blockchain. Anchor offers a principal-protected stablecoin savings product that accepts Terra deposits and pays a stable interest rate. To generate yield, Anchor lends out deposits to borrowers who put down liquid-staked PoS assets from major blockchains as collateral. Anchor’s yield is thus powered by block rewards of major Proof-of-Stake blockchains. Ultimately, we envision Anchor to become the gold standard for passive income on the blockchain.
