This could indicate the start of another bullish period<\/a> in crypto.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Regulations on Crypto in January 2023<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- Italy included a new 26% tax applicable to capital gains on crypto-asset trading<\/strong> over 2,000 euros. Meanwhile, Israel is \uacc4\ud68d<\/a> to include crypto assets in their securities laws, Arizona (US) \ub3c4\uc785<\/a> a bill to make Bitcoin legal tender, and Panama \uc2b9\uc778<\/a> a bill to regulate Bitcoin and cryptos from April 2023.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n- The final voting on the long-expected regulatory framework Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) was delayed<\/a> to April 2023<\/strong>. This law<\/a>, proposed by the European Commission in late 2020, will apply to all 27 EU state members since 2024. It\u2019ll mainly affect the use of stablecoins, token issuers, and cryptocurrency companies.
<\/li>- The US White House released a roadmap \u201cto mitigate cryptocurrencies\u2019 risks\u201d. <\/strong>With it, they expect<\/a> to increase transparency and guidance in the sector and expand the regulators’ powers to handle these kinds of assets. It doesn\u2019t seem like something concrete for now, but it could crystallize in new bills in the future.
<\/li>- After making Bitcoin a legal tender<\/a> in 2022, the Central African Republic is planning to create a new regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.<\/strong> \uc774 \ubc29\ubc95<\/a>, they expect to attract foreign investors and tokenize the mineral resources of the country.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Crypto hacks and scams in January 2023<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- At least eleven crypto platforms were hacked or committed exit scams<\/a> in January 2023. The total losses are calculated at over $14,6 million<\/strong> [DeFi Yield].

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n- An old Bitcoin \ucf54\uc5b4<\/a> developer, Luke Dashjr, was hacked for 200 BTC (around $3.6 million).<\/strong> Apparently, this was a targeted attack<\/a>. The hacker won access to his PGP keys since he didn\u2019t have conventional private keys with random words.
<\/li>- Around 800 BitConnect victims from 40 countries will receive $17 million as reimbursement<\/strong>, as ordered<\/a> by a US federal court. BitConnect was one of the biggest crypto scams<\/a> in history. The invested amount in this Ponzi scheme with cryptos is calculated at $4.1 billion.
<\/li>- Spanish National Police has warned about a new crypto scam in the workplace<\/strong> during January 2023. The scammers call the employees of certain companies and ask them<\/a> to pay in BTC for courier fees, licenses, or fines. They apply a sense of urgency to it and lie by saying that they\u2019re sent by the bosses. Of course, the only intention is to steal the funds.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Other crypto news<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- Crypto lender Genesis Global Capital filed for bankruptcy<\/strong>, and the crypto portal CoinDesk is considering a potential sale.

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n- The exchange Gemini, one of the largest Genesis creditors, is also in trouble<\/strong>. A group of Gemini Earn users sued<\/a> the company for breach of contract and illicit enrichment \u2014since they can\u2019t withdraw funds since November 2022.
<\/li>- US authorities seized<\/a> around $700 million in assets belonging to FTX<\/strong> and its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF).
