<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- The U.S. Congress introduced<\/a> the new \u201cStablecoin Tethering and Bank Licensing Enforcement (STABLE) Act\u201d <\/strong>for consideration. If approved the next year, the issuers of such coins would need to comply with more obligations within U.S. jurisdiction.
<\/li>- The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has currently<\/a> a 15-day comment period open (till Jan 4) for the proposal to identify every party involved in cryptocurrency transactions with \u201cunhosted wallets\u201d. <\/strong>This means wallets that aren\u2019t controlled by any exchange or centralized institution, and are used directly on the blockchain.
<\/li>- The star of the month: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) just revealed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs for allegedly having carried out a \u201c$1.3 Billion Unregistered Securities Offering\u201d<\/strong>, as they name<\/a> the financial activities with Ripple and XRP since 2013. XRP price has plunged as a result.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- Some hackers designed<\/a> a massive bunch of fake Ledger emails<\/strong> (the crypto hardware wallet) and are sending them to the customers. Their main goal is deceiving the most people as possible to steal their private keys and passwords, and, therefore, the cryptocurrencies they may have in this wallet.
<\/li>- Hugh Karp, the founder of DeFi insurance protocol Nexus Mutual, experienced<\/a> an $8M hack this month. <\/strong>The hackers tricked him to approve a spoof transaction of 370,000 NXM (Nexus Mutual) tokens. Luckily, the users of such protocol weren’t affected.
<\/li>- The DeFi lending protocol Warp Finance was hacked for around $8 million in a flash loan attack.<\/strong> The bright side is their security team was able to recover<\/a> $5.85M from such funds, and they\u2019ll issue some additional IOU tokens for the affected users. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A 2020 summary in crypto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- Szerint a Vil\u00e1gbank<\/a>, the University of Cambridge, and World Economic Forum, the Fintech industry (in which we can include cryptos and blokkl\u00e1ncok<\/a>) grew a lot during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/strong>, helping to financially include the most vulnerable people.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- The total cryptocurrency market capitalization increased by around 229% Year-To-Date (YTD),<\/strong> compared to barely +50% in 2019. Bitcoin reached a new All-Time-High (ATH)<\/a> \u00e9s a DeFi \u00f6kosziszt\u00e9ma<\/a> is booming, with around $14B locked for investments.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n- Exchanges, investors, and people, in general, contributed to cryptocurrency campaigns to fight COVID-19<\/strong>. Examples of them are #CryptoCOVID19 (Az ad\u00e1sblokk<\/a>), COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund (BitGive), and #StopCovid_IO (ComGo).
<\/li>- As indicated by CipherTrace<\/a>, around $1.4B in cryptocurrencies were stolen in 2020<\/strong>. The exchanges and platforms Poloniex, IOTA, Altsbit, Lendf.me, Bisq, Coincheck, 2together, KuCoin, Eterbase, Harvest Finance, Akropolis, and Pickle Finance<\/a> were hacked throughout the year [ZDNet].
<\/li>- This was the year of the greatest Twitter hack\/scam involving Bitcoin<\/strong>. Around 130 verified accounts were attacked<\/a>, among which were names like Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Uber, Apple, and Ripple. The hacker posted from there the classic nyerem\u00e9nyj\u00e1t\u00e9k \u00e1tver\u00e9s<\/a> with BTC.
<\/li>- PayPal<\/a>, Square, MicroStrategy, Ruffer, and other institutional investors jumped into Bitcoin this year<\/strong>. That\u2019s been great news for its capitalization, price, and stability.
<\/li>- Oroszorsz\u00e1g<\/a>, az Egyes\u00fclt Kir\u00e1lys\u00e1g<\/a>, az Eur\u00f3pai Uni\u00f3 \u00e9s a Egyes\u00fclt \u00c1llamok<\/a> are already preparing their own legal measures for cryptocurrencies<\/strong>. And all of them have to do something with taxes and limits for retail investors.
<\/li>- While Bitcoin Cash (BCH) undertook a new hardfork<\/a> with few consequences, Bitcoin (BTC) implemented the protocols Taproot and Schnorr<\/strong> to improve its privacy, smart contracts, and scalability. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Ethereum 2.0 started its existence as a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) cryptocurrency<\/strong>. The genesis block of its Beacon Chain was successfully mined in early December. The rest will come<\/a> between 2021 and 2030.
<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nAnd there\u2019s a lot more to come. We certainly believe 2021 will be a nice year for the cryptocurrency world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
