A Binance ‘Decoy’ for US Regulators?
Banks ❤️ Bitcoin
After years of skepticism, JPMorgan sent out its rationale for why Bitcoin could double or triple in a research note sent out to its investors. It also has been reaching out to crypto-native firms in the hopes of enlisting sub-custodians to offer crypto custody. And Michael Del Castillo of Forbes published a thorough look at what may be the real purpose of Binance’s U.S. arm, Binance.US.
There’s tons of bank-related news this week, including a crypto-friendly bank that reported strong earnings in the third quarter, with much of the success credited to digital currency activity. In other news, on-chain metrics are pointing to what may be the most significant Bitcoin breakout yet. And yet another DeFi project has fallen prey to a manipulative attacker. Also, Coinbase has announced plans to launch a Visa debit card in the U.S. next year, and we’ve got some hilarious suggestions from my Twitter followers on ways to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the Bitcoin white paper.
On Unchained, acting comptroller of the currency Brian Brooks discusses the future of crypto banks, private blockchain-based transactions and how regulators like the OCC might approach DeFi. And on Unconfirmed, Matt Hougan of Bitwise explains how institutional investors in crypto have changed since 2017 and why the JPMorgan research note on Bitcoin is so significant.
