Macquarie “If you don’t introduce CBDC quickly, you could be pushed over to Bitcoin”

In a recent research note published by Australian investment bank Macquarie, if central banks such as the Federal Reserve System (FRB) and the European Central Bank (ECB) slow down the adoption of digital currency (CBDC), they will be pushed out of competition for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Pointed out that you can.

Macquarie said, “CBDC is lagging behind the pace of cryptocurrency popularization.” There will be.”

GrayscaleBegins liquidation of XRP trust

Grayscale Investments announced that it has entered into the liquidation of a $1,200 million XRP trust.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Ripple Labs, which issues and operates XRP, on suspicion of selling unregistered securities. This is a move to reduce risk by moving away from Ripple. Grayscale has already excluded XRP from its funds made up of high market capitalization cryptocurrencies.

On the other hand, the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) expressed the view that XRP is a cryptocurrency asset rather than a security under Japanese law, and contradicted the view of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Market trend

A’everything’ deal worth the Hall of Fame

According to data from the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange Deribit, on October 30, one trader or a small group signed 16,000 call option contracts with a maturity of January 29 and a strike price of 36,000 dollars. Purchased at 0.003 bitcoin per contract.

At the time, the total purchase cost based on the transaction price per bitcoin was 48 bitcoins, about $638400 (about 700 million won). This purchase has since become a legend. (If the bitcoin price expires at $40,000, the profit from this purchase is $64 million, more than 100 times the investment.)
