The optimism after the upgrade of "shapella" briefly pushed the price of Ether (ETH) to an 11 month high of around $2150 earlier this month, but has now largely subsided.Ether is a token for Ethereum blockchain that supports smart contracts, with a final transaction price close to $1900

Centralization and decentralization platforms will coexist, complement, and rely on each other for a period of time in the future.According to the information released by Coin On Company on Tuesday (March 13th), they haveA public chain has been launched with the aim of building a new decentralized exchange.The cryptocurrency exchange stated that by developing a new BinanceChain, they will transform from a "corporate" to a "community", and that BinanceChain will also be used to transfer or trade different blockchain assets.It is worth mentioning that,Coin An also announced that it will migrate BinanceCoin to its native blockchain.Currently, Coincoin is an ERC20 digital token running on the Ethereum network. However, for users holding ERC20 coins, it is currently unclear whether they will exchange tokens in some form.In addition, Coin An Coin will become an important foundation for blockchain asset trading, coexisting with other more centralized products of Coin An.In a statement, Qian An stated:BinanceCentralization and decentralization platforms will coexist, complement, and rely on each other for a period of time in the future.Binance Chain

Recently, BUSD suffered a regulatory assault from the US government's SEC. The SEC sued Paxos using BUSD as an entry point for unregistered securities. Subsequently, NYDFS, the New York State Department of Financial Services, instructed Paxos to stop casting new BUSDs, and CZ also stated that "product adjustments will be made accordingly. For example, BUSD will no longer be used as the primary currency equivalent for trading.It can be foreseen that BUSD will gradually fade out of the historical stage of stable currency, and given that BUSD is the ace stable currency of BNBChain, what changes will happen to the stable currency ecosystem of BNBChain (formerly known as Anzhineng Chain) after this flag falls?The current status of stable coin ecology in BNBChainAccording to statistics from Defellama, the total market value of the stable coin ecosystem on BNBChain has exceeded $9 billion, with BUSD accounting for 53% of the market, with a market value of approximately $4.8 billion.Subsequently, USDT has a market value of approximately 3.2 billion US dollars (35%), USDC has a market value of approximately 780 million US dollars (8.67%), and some stable currencies with a market value below 100 million US dollars, such as USDDDDaiHAY.According to Paxos, BUSD can still be redeemed until at least February 2024. Although there is a buffer period of at least one year, facing the outflow of billions of dollars of stable currency, the question before us is, how will this stir up the stable currency ecosystem of BNBChain?Is it to stimulate the development of decentralized stable currency?Or strengthen the dominant position of USDT/USDC in BNBChain?For the former, CZ has responded to the suggestion of building a decentralized stable currency similar to DAI in the future, saying that at this juncture, we would prefer others to do so to make it more decentralized. We cannot do everything.Looking back at the two contestants HAY& VAI, currently with a stable currency market value of only tens of millions, seems to have an upper limit on its own track even if we optimistically imagine that such projects can carry the banner. It has developed well like DAI on Ethereum, and its stable currency market value is only about $5 billion. When converted to BNBChain, it still cannot match the scale of centralized stable currencies like BUSD.So currently, it seems that it is most reasonable for USDT/USDC to inherit the market share of the stable currency that BUSD has exited. But what we need to know here is that in fact, USDTUSDC officially does not issue native stable coins on BNBChain. Strictly speaking, BNBChain does not have native centralized US dollar stable coins, including BUSD, which is essentially a Binance PegToken. The original assets (i.e. BUSD on Ethereum) are held by the Coin Security official, and the issued BEP20Token is anchored 1:1 on BNBChain.Binance-PegTokenBTokenDue to the fact that most users only need to focus on the application experience level, they do not have a deep understanding of the specific underlying attributes of various assets. In fact, in the early stages of the launch of BNBChain (originally named BSC), in order to attract external high-quality assets such as BTCETH and stable coins, Coin An launched the Token Canal program, which is essentially similar to Wrapped Assets. Coin An officially serves as the processing center for the custody of native assets and the issuance and redemption of packaged assets.Binance-PegTokenBTokenAccording to the official mortgage reserve certificate of Coin An for BTokens, we understand that there are currently 97 BTokens, including approximately 5.4 billion ERC20BUSD reserves, corresponding to approximately 4.8 billion BEP20BUSD and other corresponding BUSDs for each chain.Previously, NYDFS emphasized that Paxos was authorized to issue BUSD on the Ethereum blockchain, but the department has not yet authorized Binance PegBUSD on any blockchain.It seems that the real motivation of NYDFS is actually BinancePeggedBUSSD, rather than concerns about whether there is 100% reserve support. After all, this piece of coin security has publicly and transparently proven reserves, and BinancePeggedBUSSD, a packaged asset, strictly speaking, is created by the on chain behavior of coin security. Therefore, should NYDFS/SEC point its finger at coin security, and USDTUSDC also has a corresponding BinancePegged, Will TetherCircle also have the same problem passively? Or is it just an excuse, essentially just a targeting?Of course, even if it is targeted, it may still be related to the original measure of coin security supporting BUSD, which automatically converts USDC, USDP, and TUSD to BUSD by default. After all, with the support of coin security, more scenarios of BUSD may lean towards BNBChain, which may lead to a misunderstanding that BinancePeggedBUSD, a packaged asset, is the only native asset.How will the exit of BUSD stir up the stable coin ecosystem of BNBChain?Now we return to the initial question of "How will the exit of BUSD stir up the stable coin ecosystem of BNBChain", and the answer seems relatively clear. For the decentralized stable coin track, it will have a certain boost, but the potential wave generated is limited; It is likely that BinancePeggedUSDTUSDC has given way to the demand for these stable currencies, and the gradual withdrawal of BUSD may also be negative for the BNBChain ecosystem.As for whether BinancePeggedUSDTUSDC will be subject to the same regulatory restrictions on "issuance" authorization, such concerns can be temporarily put aside. Although Binan does not have a compliant custody license like BitGo, the custodian of WBTC, its asset custody reserves are open and transparent, and regulation should not be so exhaustive.

The article only represents the author's viewpoint and does not represent the official stance of Mars Finance.Editor: Remember to follow meSource: Blockchain OutlookOn February 17th, Coin Security announced the launch of a one-stop solution, Coin Security Cloud, which provides partners and customers with cutting-edge technology, security, as well as high depth and liquidity throughout the site, enabling them to launch independent digital asset trading platforms through this platform.The announcement points out that as part of the Coin On Open Platform Plan, Coin On Cloud aims to open up more channels into digital assets globally, by supporting its global partners and customers, integrating new financial infrastructure on blockchain technology-based open platforms through the core of platform solutions.It happened to be ten days since Zhao Changpeng, the founder of Coin An, first mentioned "open platform" in the new year. On February 7th, Zhao Changpeng proposed the concept of "open platform" in the first AMA of the New Year, stating that Coin An is transitioning from a centralized platform to an "open platform" and will evolve towards a decentralized platform in the future.Zhao Changpeng's statement is not surprising. On February 6th, Coin An announced the completion of the upgrade to the "Global Broker" project. This is also one of the services provided by the open platform of King'an, which supports the access of contract brokers and has been applied by hundreds of institutions around the world.If the previous goal of Coin An was to be strong enough, then at this time Coin An is standing in a higher sniper position, aiming to seek more partners, share resources, and promote the coordinated development of the entire industry.The ultimate beneficiary of all this may be BNB. As the core asset of the Coin An trading platform, BNB is widely circulated across various business lines and ranks among the top ten in market value, making it the undisputed "King of Platform Coins". Nowadays, with the comprehensive opening of Coin Security, the application scenarios of BNB will continue to enrich, and the space for value growth is worth looking forward to.1 Coin An 2019 TranscriptFrom centralization to openness, the path to advancement of Coin Security has never stopped.Last September, when reviewing the development of Coin An, He Yi, the co-founder of Coin An, stated that the Coin An one0 era was actually centered around coin trading or spot trading to cover the entire industry's upstream and downstream infrastructure construction process, while the Coin An two0 era was based on the extension of existing trading business upstream and downstream, including contracts, leverage, and other trading products and services other than spot trading.He Yi also gave a metaphor for this: "If the Coin On one0 era is a towering tree that grew with coin trading as its core, then the Coin On two0 era will be a forestLooking back at 2019, we saw the comprehensive expansion of the "forest" of Coin An:oneLeading IEO.At the beginning of 2019, Coin On was the first to launch the IEO model, marking the beginning of exchange led asset issuance, triggering numerous trading platforms to follow up and giving birth to a new round of small bull market. According to statistics, in 2019, a total of 11 tokens landed on Coin An LaunchPad, leading the IEO projects on numerous platforms.twoLaunch contracts, OTC and other businesses to connect the main upstream and downstream businesses of the exchange.According to CoinGecko data, the trading volume of Coin On contracts accounts for up to 80% of BitMex's trading volume, with a strong potential to catch up. At the same time, Coin Security Chain underwent four system upgrades last year, and Coin Security DEX has launched a total of 123 trading pairs.threeOpen BinanceUS.For the United States, one of the world's largest digital currency trading markets, BinanceUS has been established by Coin, continuously obtaining licenses in various states and providing services to American users. The daily trading volume exceeds 25 million US dollars, surpassing the local exchange Gemini, and is expected to catch up with the largest exchange in the United States, Coinbase, in the future.fourCapital expansion.In 2019, Coin An successively acquired options platform JEX, data analysis platform DappReview, and invested in dozens of companies such as derivative trading platform FTX, continuously enriching its products and business forms.Under the support of multiple businesses, the daily average trading volume of Coin An in 2019 exceeded the equivalent of 2.8 billion US dollars, with a global user base of over 15 million, covering over 180 countries and regions.Now, this transcript of King'an has just laid the foundation for the establishment of the open platform.2 Upgrade Global Broker ProjectWhat is open platform? Coin An has actually provided an explanation in the announcement.Specifically, the open platform is committed to creating efficient and reliable blockchain infrastructure facilities. Based on the technology precipitation in recent years, it integrates internal core resources such as research and development, asset management, liquidity, and product experience, and comprehensively empowers blockchain industry partners to comprehensively promote the development of the blockchain industry.The first step of the Coin Security Open Plan is to upgrade the global brokerage project.On February 6th, Coin An announced the upgrade of the "Global Broker" project to fully support contract broker access.According to public information, the project has been launched since September 2019, aiming to provide high liquidity, deep order matching system, and leading asset security management and marketing guidance for brokers accessing APIs on the Coin Security platform.By participating in this project, the broker has the opportunity to receive up to 60% of the coin security fee share, as well as a ten% bonus incentive for the broker's business income. As of now, over a hundred global institutions have applied to join.Coin An's goal clearly goes beyond this.In the latest announcement, the access mode of Qian'an to brokers has been upgraded again:Fully support the access of contract brokers, who will enjoy high commission sharing, as well as high liquidity and transaction depth of currency security contracts;Added support for APIKEY mode access, allowing spot and contract brokers to quickly access, reducing development barriers;Customers who become contract brokers will also enjoy more benefits, including a high proportion of contract fee sharing and high liquidity and transaction depth of Binance contracts. Customers who become contract brokers will also enjoy more benefits.On this basis, Coin Security brokers will recruit another 150 and eliminate brokerage nodes that do not meet the standards every quarter.The logic behind Coin An's move is actually clear:Mobilize the enthusiasm of mainstream global brokers to participate in the construction of the currency security trading ecosystem through resource sharing and benefit redistribution.It is foreseeable that more mainstream brokers will join in the future, sharing the high liquidity of the Coin Security trading platform, increasing the breadth and depth of transactions, and promoting the stable development of the global crypto asset trading market.3 Heavyweight Launch of Currency AnyunAfter the comprehensive upgrade of global brokerage projects, Coin An has accelerated the pace of opening up.Zhao Changpeng was the first to speak out.On February 7th, he proposed the concept of "open platform" in the first AMA of the New Year, indicating that Coin Security is transitioning from a centralized platform to an "open platform" and will evolve towards a decentralized platform in the future.Zhao Changpeng actually sends two signals:Firstly, the strategic focus of Coin An is no longer on its own strength, but on the prosperity of the entire ecosystem; Secondly, the open platform of King'an is about to launch King'an Cloud. However, he did not elaborate too much on Coin Anyun.tenDays later, the answer will be revealed.On February 17th, Coin Security announced the launch of a one-stop solution, Coin Security Cloud, which provides partners and customers with cutting-edge technology, security, as well as high depth and liquidity throughout the site, enabling them to launch independent digital asset trading platforms through this platform.In an interview with Bloomberg, Zhao Changpeng said, "In theory, we can have anyone in the world establish their own trading platform, and this demand is particularly huge because even in the winter of cryptocurrency in 2018 and 2019, hundreds of new trading platforms are born every dayIn fact, the launch of Coin On Cloud further expands the scope of Coin On's opening up.Zhao Changpeng stated that as part of the open platform plan of Coin An, Coin An Cloud aims to open up more channels to enter digital assets globally. By supporting its global partners and customers, the core of the platform solution is to integrate new financial infrastructure on an open platform based on blockchain technology.With this pioneering initiative, focusing on open access coin security technology and resources as an infrastructure provider, we aim to provide technical support to partners and platforms, alleviate their technical challenges, focus on users and local token channel services, and accelerate the process of global digital asset implementation and applicationCompared to other trading platforms, the openness of Coin An can be considered a big deal.For the industry, many market participants represented by Coin An complement each other's advantages and share resources, which can make the cake of the entire industry bigger. Many small and medium-sized players will also have more opportunities to participate, after all, it is good to enjoy the cool under the big tree.For Coin Security, with the gradual implementation of the opening-up plan, more high-quality resources worldwide will be incorporated into the Coin Security ecosystem, and Coin Security will also build a huge "blockchain ecosystem" from this, gradually realizing its long-term vision of becoming a builder of this ecological infrastructure.4 BNB will be the biggest beneficiaryCoin security needs to adopt an open path, which is a huge benefit for both Coin security itself and industry development. However, the biggest beneficiary behind this is actually BNB.Since its release in July 2017, BNB has been expanding its usage scenarios.At the beginning of its issuance, BNB was just a platform currency, and its value greatly depended on Binance's user activities and exchange revenue. To this day, BNB has become the core asset of the entire Binance ecosystem, deeply bound to various businesses of Coin An.Regarding the value of BNB, He Yi vividly introduced: "In the forest of (Coin An), no matter which tree, the ultimate core value will attach to BNB2019IEOBNBTopten

The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will introduce a mandatory virtual asset trading platform (VASP) licensing system starting from June 1 this year, and plans to open up retail investors to invest in virtual assets. The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission recently stated that it will release licensing guidelines for virtual asset trading platforms next month.After the formal implementation of the new virtual asset platform licensing system, all virtual asset exchanges operating in Hong Kong or promoting services to Hong Kong investors, regardless of whether they provide securities based token trading services, must obtain licensing from the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission and be subject to its supervision.Conducting any unlicensed activities is a criminal offense.On April 26th, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, Leung Fung yi, stated during an event that it is expected to introduce licensing guidelines for virtual asset trading platforms in May. During the previous consultation process, more than 150 feedback opinions were received.The main suggestion of consultation is to open up licensed platforms to provide services to retail investors. Zhitong Finance has learned that according to previous policies, platform operators can only provide services to professional investors with a funding threshold of up to HKD 8 million, and ensure that their customers fully understand virtual assets. In addition, licensed platforms will be included in the regulatory sandbox of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and will be subject to close and rigorous supervision for a period of time.On December 16, last year, the ETF based on Bitcoin and Ethereum futures launched by Southern Dongying Asset Management Co., Ltd. was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, marking Hong Kong becoming the world's first market to provide Ethereum futures ETF and the first market in Asia to provide Bitcoin futures ETF. Under the latest proposed trading platform system, retail investors can directly participate in Bitcoin and Ethereum trading on regulated platforms in the future.In fact, the licensing procedures for virtual asset transactions in Hong Kong have always been very strict. Under the existing system, only two encryption platforms are licensed - OSL (OSL DigitalSecurities Limited) and HashKey (HashBlockchain Limited).(Image source: Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission)According to media reports,Huo Coin, OKEXBoth parties have expressed their intention to apply for an exchange license in Hong Kong and have established an office in Hong Kong.Additionally, the Singapore basedDBS Silverthat 's okIt also stated its intention to apply for relevant licenses in Hong Kong to provide cryptocurrency services to local customers.that 's ok12 month transition period arrangementThe Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission stated that considering that platform operators licensed under the Securities and Futures Ordinance may need to modify their systems and monitoring measures to comply with the new regulations, a transition period of 12 months has been proposed.The China Securities Regulatory Commission stated that, Anyone who engages in the business of providing virtual asset services or shows that they operate the business must apply for a license from the Securities and Futures Commission. The existing virtual asset trading platform has been provided as a licensed arrangement, so that they can continue to operate in Hong Kong after the implementation of the virtual asset service provider system under the Anti Money Laundering Ordinance. It must be within the period from June 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024, in accordance with the Anti Money Laundering Ordinance The virtual asset service provider system under is to submit fully completed license applications online. If the SFC considers that the relevant license application meets the conditions for licensing, the virtual asset trading platform will automatically be deemed to have been licensed from June 1, 2024 This passage may sound quite convoluted, but to put it bluntly, the two companies that have already been licensed need to comply with the new regulatory requirements within the prescribed transition period.As for the original virtual asset trading platform, if it has no intention of applying for a license, it should start preparing to end its business in Hong Kong in an orderly manner, with a deadline of May 31, 2024.Fierce business of virtual insurance companiesAccording to the consultation document of the Hong Kong Certificate Authority,The platform that applies for a license must insure the customer's assets.Liang Fengyi also told the media that the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission is in discussions with the Insurance Regulatory AuthorityThe cost of purchasing insurance for customer assetsOther matters.OneDegree Group
