  • Meta, formerly Facebook, on Wednesday announced its decision to end the ban on advertising of cryptocurrency companies on its platforms.

  • “Cryptocurrencies are likely to remain under pressure as the Fed reduces its liquidity injections,” said Jay Hatfield, chief executive of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “Bitcoin could end 2022 below $20,000.”

    “Tighter Fed policy affects not only interest rates but the equity risk premium as the Fed withdraws funds from the capital markets. Riskier investments such as unprofitable tech, meme stocks and cryptocurrency are disproportionately affected relative to the rest of the market since those investments are approximately twice as volatile as the overall market so have double the risk premium as the average stock,” said Hatfield.

    In reality FED totally controls main crypto scam.

  • In order to reduce the threats caused by the spread of cryptocurrencies, the Bank of Russia proposes to ban the issuance, mining and circulation of cryptocurrencies in Russia.

    "Introduce a ban on organizing the issuance and (or) issuing, organizing the circulation of crypto-currencies (including by crypto-exchanges, crypto-exchangers, P2P platforms) on the territory of the Russian Federation and establish liability for violating this ban," such a proposal from the regulator is contained in the document .

    It is also proposed to establish liability for violation of the legal ban on the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment for goods, works and services sold and bought by legal entities and individuals - residents of the Russian Federation.

    "Introduce a ban on investments by financial organizations in cryptocurrencies and related financial instruments, as well as on the use of Russian financial intermediaries and Russian financial infrastructure to carry out transactions with cryptocurrencies and establish liability for violation of this ban," the report suggests. The regulator also considers the introduction of a ban on cryptocurrency mining in Russia to be the best solution.
