Highlighting what went right, and what went wrong, in this week’s crypto news analysis.
In the same week that Belgium cracked down on a number of crypto-related sites, a commissioner from the CFTC spoke at a regulator’s conference in Tokyo to highlight the importance of keeping an open mind in this space. In Korea, there were hints that the ICO ban would be over soon, and in America, the Internal Revenue Service has been called on to provide more guidelines on how people should report their crypto earnings.
There have also been rumours that Bitfury is speaking with investment banks about the potential to launch a European IPO, which would value the company between $3bn-$5bn. And MasterCard are in the news, having filed a patent that flies in the face of Satoshi Nakamoto’s dream.
