Jake Chervinsky crede che il nuovo presidente della SEC sarà un sostenitore di Bitcoin.

L’approvazione di un ETF su Bitcoin seguirà molto probabilmente la nomina di Gensler.

Jake Chervinsky, consigliere generale della finanza composta e co-presidente del gruppo DeFi presso la Blockchain Association, ritiene che l’introduzione di Gary Gensler come nuovo presidente della SEC rappresenterà un passo positivo per Cryptosoft a lungo termine.

SEC diventa Pro-Bitcoin

Parlando su Twitter, Chervinsky ha commentato quello che credeva sarebbe successo se Gensler diventasse presidente della SEC. L’avvocato spiega che crede che Gensler guiderebbe le politiche a favore di Bitcoin.

È stato ampiamente riferito che il neoeletto presidente Joe Biden nominerà Gesler al ruolo di presidente della SEC. Una mossa che probabilmente placherebbe la comunità crittografica.

Bitcoin buono, Ripple cattivo?

Gensler ha una visione positiva delle criptovalute e dell’adozione di blockchain, arrivando a chiamare Bitcoin la forma moderna dell’oro. È anche noto per insegnare corsi su blockchain e Bitcoin al MIT.

Chervinsky ha commentato la potenziale nomina di Gensler aggiungendo che Gensler “comprende profondamente le criptovalute e ha fortemente sostenuto Bitcoin per anni”.

Chervinsky ritiene inoltre che la nomina vedrà un cambiamento di politica a favore di un Bitcoin Exchange-Traded-Fund (ETF) .

Gensler ha anche affermato in precedenza che esiste una forte argomentazione che XRP sia un titolo, il che potrebbe significare che gli attuali guai e le recenti accuse mosse contro Ripple dalla SEC rimarranno.

Continuando con il processo di pensiero, Chervinsky ha spiegato che Gensler potrebbe aver cambiato idea su XRP che opera come sicurezza. Tuttavia, le possibilità che un presidente entrante (che non era presente per le indagini) revocasse la decisione della SEC sarebbe improbabile.

Ripple (XRP) may have found a welcome land more open to cryptocurrencies than the United States. A large Japanese regulator has indeed confirmed that it does not consider XRP as a financial security.

Is XRP a financial security?

As a reminder, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) complaint against Ripple relates to the status of XRP. The US regulator considers XRP to be a financial security , more specifically a security, where Ripple considers it to be a digital currency.

According to information from our colleagues at The Block , the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA), however, is more on the side of Ripple in this debate, explaining:

“The FSA sees XRP as a cryptocurrency , taking into account the definition of the Payment Services Act.”

This is also the interpretation of the Department of Finance of the United Kingdom, which specified last week:

“Tokens which are used primarily as a medium of exchange – this includes the most well-known crypto-assets, like Bitcoin, Ether and XRP . ”

What this means for the future of Ripple

Where this is notable is that it shows that the aggressiveness of the US regulator has not spread elsewhere. This therefore means that Ripple and its asset, XRP, can be exported in search of a more flexible regulatory framework . In any case, this is what Brad Garlinghouse had already suggested in recent months, probably feeling the tide. Japan and the United Kingdom were rightly mentioned at the end of last year.

The company had also opened a regional HQ in Dubai . Ripple’s posture has been clear for some time anyway. Chris Larsen, the co-founder of the project explained a few months ago:

“ I don’t think the SEC’s posture could be any worse for the [blockchain] industry today . They’re just trying to crush [us] and push us aside . ”

The upcoming trial promises to be complicated for Ripple. Whether the company will leave the city of San Francisco, where it has been established for a long time, remains to be seen.

The genesis block is the name of the first block in the Bitcoin blockchain. It was extracted on January 3, 2009, ie 12 years days for days.

Bitcoin turns 12

The first 50 BTCs were mined on January 3, 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto himself in order to give birth to the Bitcoin blockchain .

S. Nakamoto made it clear that he was sensitive to the failures of the global financial system since the first block contained a message: “  The Times 03 / Jan / 2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout of banks” in reference to an article published the same day in the British newspaper The Times .

The Times 3 Jan 2009

Cover of The Times January 3, 2009

The article relates the attempt to rescue the banks by the English government in the midst of the financial crisis . By writing this note, Satoshi surely wanted to show his interest in the subject and raise public awareness .

The January 3 is the anniversary of the genesis block, but also the day “Proof-of-Key” or proof key of removing his bitcoins of exchanges to a wallet whose private keys it holds to recover full ownership of its funds.

The mystery of block 0

The genesis block and the launch of Bitcoin remain shrouded in mystery and reverence . Thus, the launch of block 0 was the subject of much debate on a specific point of its creation: the first 50 BTC could not be spent.

Thus, the first reward (50 BTC) was to be awarded to the address: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa . However, the reward could not be distributed due to an anomaly in the code in block 0. Is this an intentional feature or just an error  ? This question was the subject of much debate among initiates. However, due to the developer’s precision, most theories suggest it was n’t a mistake.

Another originality, the followers regularly make donations to the address of the genesis block as a thank you. The address now has 68.35 BTC or about $ 2.3 million. There are 2,718 offerings that could be compared to the throwing of coins in the Trevi fountain in Rome.
