🔃 Crypto regulation on emerging markets in 2024
🌏 The two most populous continents—Asia (59.5%) and Africa (18.93%)—still have relatively weak procedures for regulating cryptocurrency transactions. A number of Asian countries (Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc.) and half of African countries do not regulate crypto in any way. In North African countries, Pakistan and Bangladesh, cryptocurrency circulation is simply prohibited.
🐘 But there are several landmark emerging markets making notable progress in 2024:
🇮🇩 Indonesia
🇹🇭 Thailand
🇿🇦 South Africa
🇹🇷 Turkiye
🇹🇼 Taiwan
🇳🇬 Nigeria
🌻 Even where there is a conservative approach to regulation, there are big moves with licensing and legalization of crypto: including VASPs, ETFs and taxation. Get more crypto regulation insights in this article.

🇮🇳 India prepares (another) crypto ban?
📝 Indian regulators were to publish a discussion paper on crypto policy in September. The document has not been published yet. However, according to the Hindustan Times, the government may ban Bitcoin, USDT and other cryptocurrencies.
❌ Instead, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other regulators want to develop a national digital currency - a CBDC. The purpose of the ban is to address possible risks connected with crypto, such as avoiding taxes, money laundering and others.

🗺 Can emerging countries become the crypto leaders of tomorrow?
🕉 Global GDP distribution is slowly changing, with a decreasing share for G7 countries - as you can see from PWC forecast - The World in 2050 and a growing share for BRICS, E7 and other emerging markets. Also most of emerging countries from PWC forecast (Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Nigeria, Philippines, Brazil, Turkiye, Mexico) are called by Chainalysis in its Global Crypto Adoption Index 2024. This is an important point in understanding which countries will be leading crypto markets in the future. We can divide large emerging economies into 3 groups according to their crypto regulations:
🇹🇷 🇧🇷🇲🇽 🇿🇦 Countries that already have high adoption of crypto and good regulation: Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and Türkiye. Moreover, these are some of the easiest jurisdictions to set up VASP activities in the world. In Brazil, VASPs don’t need any license and SA has already registered about 200 entities, giving them official approval for crypto business.
🇮🇳🇵🇭🇮🇩🇳🇬 India, Philippines and Indonesia already have crypto regulations, although they are tough for crypto business. Besides that, these are large and growing economies with high demand for virtual assets. Nigeria is migrating into this group with its adoption of new licensing procedures for crypto entities and releasing Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan this week.
🇻🇳🇨🇳🇭🇰 Vietnam has no crypto regulations right now, but plans to regulate in 2026. China has a formal crypto ban. However, SAR Hong Kong is a world leader in cryptocurrency regulation and has launched a Bitcoin ETF second only to US offerings.
✈️ The lion's share of users of Telegram and the TON ecosystem are located in these countries. And if we look ahead a few years, the share of these countries in global GDP and in the crypto market will increase significantly - as the importance of TON ecosystem may also grow.

🇺🇸 Investigation against Tether
💸 The US Treasury department is investigating Tether and may impose sanctions on the company. The investigation is related to the possible use of USDT in drug trafficking and financing of terrorism.
🧐 Previously, partnership with Tether was important achievement for TON ecosystem development. However, I think that according to size of Tether's operations with US dollars, US regulators won't do much damage to the company. It's only investigation for now.

➕ Record inflow in Bitcoin ETFs
📈 Last week US Bitcoin ETFs had a significant inflow of liquidity - $997.6 million, according to Farside Investors. This is the second week in a row with a positive gain. The total for those 2 weeks is more than $3.1 billion, which almost replicates the record-breaking March 2024 BTC ETF inflows when the number of investments exceeded $4 billion in 2 weeks.
🗳 Among the reasons are the easing of monetary policy by global central banks and Trump's possible victory in the U.S. presidential election on November 5. In their program, Republicans promise to soften crypto regulation in the United States and even create a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
🎲 Finally, immediately after the election, a new meeting of the Fed will be held, at which the regulator may reduce the rate by another 0.25%.

📊 Bitcoin repeats ATH
🔢 Today, BTC's price reached $73,500, almost repeating its ATH on March 2024 ($73,700). US Bitcoin ETFs received $870 mln of inflows this Tuesday, for a total of more than $4 bln for three weeks. This repeats March’s inflows and probably means that BTC's price can reach a new ATH this week.
🦥 However, altcoins don’t demonstrate high performance: Ethereum $2,650 and TON $5,06. Investors prioritize BTC now.

🦅 Republican victory
🇺🇸 Donald Trump is overtaking Kamala Harris in swing states and his chances of winning are estimated at 99% on Polymarket.
🚀 Most important, Republicans are gaining a majority in the Senate and Congress.
📃 The Republican-controlled Senate and Congress are likely to pass new laws on crypto and reduce the SEC's authority, making Bitcoin a reserve asset in the US. And if the Fed also cuts rates on November 7, a bull run is very likely.
