FinCENs New Crypto Monitoring Rule: One Rule for All or Stifling Adoption and Innovation? #131 Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

The US Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, FinCEN, announced that they were extending the window for responses, or comments, to a new rule which was deemed as rushed and anti-crypto. This rule proposes new ways to monitor cryptocurrency transactions, with proposed reporting requirements regarding transactions greater than $10,000, or aggregating to greater than $10,000, that involve unhosted wallets - or wallets hosted in jurisdictions identified by FinCEN. Furthermore, another new proposal from FinCEN would also require disclosure of offshore crypto accounts holding more than $10,000.

One company, Paxos, responded with their comments, as seen here https://www.paxos.com/paxos-comment-letter-to-the-financial-crimes-enforcement-network-of-the-us-treasury/.

Join Aviva Ounap, host of Crypto and Blockchain Talk, and Jonathan Dunsmoor, Founder, and Principal of Dunsmoor Law, as we dissect Paxos’ response and uncover what FinCEN is trying to achieve with their new rule.

Blockchain Interoperability! Key to Mass Adoption? We talk to Rafael Belchior about the Future of Blockchain #127 Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

“Blockchain interoperability is emerging as one of the crucial features of blockchain technology, but the knowledge necessary for achieving it is fragmented”, says Rafael Belchior, and we agree with him! Rafael and his team presented the paper, “A Survey on Blockchain Interoperability: Past, Present, and Future Trends”, as seen here https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14282.pdf, and it has been well received on an international level.

There are many blockchain projects, with just as many protocols, and this has resulted in a universe littered with independent blockchain ecosystems, all of which are operating alongside each other – and more importantly - siloed from each other.

Of course, this silo-mentality between blockchains will prevent blockchain as a complete technology from reaching its full potential. With blockchain on the cusp widespread acceptance and adoption, join Aviva Ounap, host of Crypto and Blockchain Talk and Rafael Belchior, PhD Candidate from Técnico Lisboa as they discuss the interoperability issue, the future of blockchain, and what we should expect in the future.

In addition, all interviews are streamed on Crypto24Radio.com, bringing you the latest news on all things blockchain and crypto-related all day, every day - plus music!

What will the end game reveal? Join the host of Crypto and Blockchain talk, Aviva Ounap and Ben Jessel of Forbes.com as they look at this lawsuit, and wonder, what will 2021 bring to the cryptosphere?

The only question is now, why is the United States so darn slow on adoption?
