Let's go through the Crypto news worth paying attention today according to sosovalue:
The first is:According to Decrypt, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Thailand has proposed new regulations that allow mutual funds and private funds to invest in digital assets, aligning with international developments and meeting the growing interest of institutional investors. A draft proposal released on Wednesday is soliciting public input on the revision of fund standards for investing in digital assets. The SEC proposed to allow securities firms and asset management companies to provide services to large investors interested in investing in crypto-related products (such as ETFs), creating more opportunities for investors to diversify their portfolios under expert management.
Next news:Layer 2 network Optimism has completed its fifth airdrop, distributing 10.3 million OP tokens worth $16 million to 54,700 Superchain users. The airdrop rewarded users who interacted with various chains on the Superchain ecosystem. This brings the total number of distributed OP tokens to over 265 million, with 550 million remaining for future distributions.
Next news:South Korea’s top financial watchdog, the Financial Services Commission (FSC), will review the ban on local spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and institutional accounts on crypto exchanges, signaling a shift from its strict opposition to digital asset exposure in traditional financial markets. The FSC's new cryptocurrency committee will discuss the current ban. The move comes after the approval of spot
bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. earlier this year. The winning Democratic Party and the opposition party in South Korea had pledged to approve local spot
bitcoin ETFs in their general election campaigns. The FSC will also investigate the monopolistic structure of South Korean digital asset exchanges, particularly Upbit, which dominates the market. Upbit accounted for over 61% of the trade volume in the past 24 hours. Concerns have been raised about the financial relationship between Upbit and its partner K-bank, as Upbit deposits make up 20% of K-bank's total deposits. K-bank is preparing for an IPO, and its reliance on Upbit is seen as a risk to its plan to go public.

$BTC between June and July has transferred 710
$BTC to Bitfinex 6 hours ago, valued at approximately 43.78 million USD. Over the past day, this whale/institution has transferred a total of 1,500
$BTC to Bitfinex, valued at approximately 92.98 million USD. Meanwhile, the price of

Next news:According to reports from Bloomberg, a new survey shows that nearly half of hedge funds focused on traditional asset classes are now involved in cryptocurrencies. According to the Global Cryptocurrency Hedge Fund Report published by the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) and PwC, among hedge funds trading in traditional markets, 47% hold digital assets, up from 29% in 2023 and 37% in 2022. Among the funds that have already invested, 67% plan to maintain the same level of capital in cryptocurrencies, while the remaining funds plan to increase their investments before the end of 2024.
Next news:According to Cointelegraph, U.S. Congressman Tom Emmer stated that unless Congress passes legislation to limit the regulatory powers of federal agencies, the overturning of the Chevron doctrine will have limited impact on cryptocurrency regulation. Only if the Republican Party wins in the upcoming elections can this ruling have a substantial effect on the crypto industry. The Chevron doctrine is part of U.S. administrative law that grants federal agencies the authority to interpret laws when they are ambiguous. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Chevron doctrine in June, meaning that courts no longer need to follow the opinions of federal agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission when interpreting ambiguous regulations.
Next news:Gary Gensler, the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated during an event at New York University School of Law that he believes
Bitcoin (
$BTC) and other cryptocurrencies are unlikely to become widely used means of payment and are more likely to be viewed as a store of value. He emphasized, citing history and monetary theory, that nations tend to favor the use of a single currency. He also criticized the fraudulent activities within the cryptocurrency industry, pointing out that many of the so-called "leaders" in the field in 2024 are either in prison or facing extradition. He believes that the existing Howey Test is sufficient to regulate crypto assets without the need for an additional regulatory framework.
Next news:According to Cointelegraph, cryptocurrency mining company IREN (formerly known as Iris Energy) is facing a class action lawsuit from investors, accusing it of misleading them regarding its high-performance computing business. On October 7, a class action led by Paul Williams-Israel was filed in federal court in New York, claiming that IREN's facility in Childress, Texas, was falsely advertised as a data center suitable for high-performance computing (HPC) and that its computing capacity was exaggerated. The lawsuit also pointed out that there were significant false statements in IREN's expansion plans and HPC strategy announced in a statement in June 2023.
Next news:Payment processing giant Stripe has reinstated crypto payments for US businesses, allowing them to accept USDC via
Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. This comes after Stripe initially offered
bitcoin payment support in 2014 but discontinued it in 2018. The integration works with checkout, elements, and payment intents, with support for subscriptions coming soon. Stripe had planned to roll out USDC payments in the US this summer but experienced delays. This follows Stripe's recent integration of crypto services in Europe and a partnership with Coinbase.
Next news:According to Wu's report, the German family office Lennertz has announced the raising of $165 million for its blockchain mother fund, further expanding its investment footprint in the cryptocurrency sector. Lennertz's portfolio includes well-known crypto venture capital firms such as Multicoin, Polychain, and Hack VC.
