🇪🇺Digital Euro Key for European Payment Autonomy, ECB President Lagarde Says

🟢The digital euro has an important role in preserving the payment autonomy of Europe, the head of the eurozone’s monetary authority emphasized. The new currency, which is still under development, is meant to be sovereign and safe, cheap and widely available, Christine Lagarde assured during a discussion devoted to central bank digital currencies.

🔑A digital euro has a key role to play in safeguarding Europe’s payment autonomy, President of European Central Bank (ECB) Christine Lagarde was quoted as saying during a virtual panel devoted to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which was hosted by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

🗣“When you look at your wallet and you look at your telephone and see the applications that you use for payments or the cards that you use for payment, you very soon realize that those means of payments are not necessarily European,” Lagarde elaborated, quoted by Bloomberg.

During the discussion held and recorded earlier in March but posted on Tuesday, the top ECB executive warned against relying on a single source for critical aspects of daily life, referring to Russia’s decision to weaponize energy supply following its invasion of Ukraine as an example, and adding:

🗣So we just have to be careful. Some people will call it sovereign autonomy, I prefer to call it resilience because that’s really what it is.

The project to issue a digital version of the euro is still in its investigation phase which started in mid-2021. In December 2022, the ECB released a second report on the advance made during this stage, and in January, 2023, the finance ministers of the eurozone countries pledged support for the initiative.

⚡️Microstrategy Buys 6,455 More Bitcoin — Now Holds 138,955 BTC

Microstrategy has purchased 6,455 bitcoins for approximately $150 million at an average price of $23,238 per coin. With its latest purchase, Microstrategy now holds 138,955 bitcoins acquired at an average of $29,817 per coin.

💲In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, the company detailed that the 6,455 bitcoins were acquired between Feb. 16 and March 23.

Silvergate Bank was among the banks that fell into trouble this month. The crypto-friendly bank announced voluntary liquidation on March 8. A few days before its liquidation announcement, the bank terminated its crypto payments network, the Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN).

The two companies entered into a “Prepayment, Waiver and Payoff to Credit and Security Agreement” On March 24 for Microstrategy to pay off the loan. The SEC filing details:

🗣Macrostrategy voluntarily prepaid Silvergate approximately $161.0 million (the ‘Payoff Amount’), in full repayment, satisfaction, and discharge of the Loan and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement.

🗣️“Upon Silvergate’s receipt of the payoff amount, the Credit Agreement was terminated, and Silvergate released its security interest in all of Macrostrategy’s assets collateralizing the loan, including the bitcoin that was serving as collateral,” Microstrategy clarified.

♾SEC Charges Beaxy and Executives for Offering Services as Unregistered Exchange

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged Beaxy cryptocurrency trading platform for operating in the US as an unregistered platform. The charges levied against Beaxy were also extended to its executive, Artak Hamazaspyan. The SEC said Artak misappropriated the funds including using about $900,000 on gambling.

🗣️“We allege that Beaxy and its affiliates performed the functions of an exchange, broker, clearing agency, and dealer without registering with the Commission and complying with clear, time-tested rules governing those activities,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. “Our securities laws for decades have served to protect investors, make capital formation easier and cheaper, and improve our markets. This case serves as yet another reminder to crypto intermediaries that their business models must comply and adapt to the law, not the other way around.”

The commission has come under fire several times this year following its series of enforcement actions with the latest being the Wells Notice issued to Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN).

In the complaint brought against the company, Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement said the exchange exposed its users to a very significant risk by combining several aspects of its operations that should have been registered and operated separately.

🗣️“To protect investors, there are separate registration requirements for exchanges, brokers, and clearing agencies, with each essentially acting as a check on the other,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “When a crypto intermediary combines all of these functions under one roof—as we allege that Beaxy did—investors are at serious risk. The blurring of functions and the lack of registrations meant that regulations designed to protect investors were not followed or even recognized by Beaxy.”

🔽Crypto ATM Numbers Drop by 13.91% Since December 2022, Over 3,600 Went Offline in March

In January, 1,587 crypto ATMs went offline, marking the second time a large number of machines had gone offline since the loss of 399 crypto ATMs in September 2022.

A total of 275 cryptocurrency ATMs went offline in February. The largest decline was recorded in March, according to Coin ATM Radar statistics, which indicated a drop of 3,627 crypto ATMs.

The loss in March coincided with the recent General Bytes hack that occurred on March 17 and 18, which resulted in the theft of more than $1.5 million in crypto.

📌General Bytes machines account for 28.5% of all machines globally, and devices manufactured by Bitaccess represent 20.2% of the market share. Genesis Coin ATMs represent 17% of the machines worldwide, while Coincloud devices account for 12.7%.

As of Saturday, April 1, 2023, the United States has the highest number of crypto ATMs worldwide, followed by Canada, Australia, and Spain.

🇨🇳China Ready to Talk Asian Monetary Fund to Cut Dollar Dependence, Malaysia Says

An idea to establish an Asian Monetary Fund has caught the attention of the Chinese leadership, the head of the Malaysian government revealed. The prime minister believes there is no reason for his country, which is hurting from a strong U.S. dollar, to remain dependent on the greenback.

🟢China is open to talks with Malaysia on a decades old proposal to set up an Asian Monetary Fund that can reduce reliance on the U.S. currency

Anwar, who also serves as Malaysia’s minister of finance, pitched the idea at the Boao Forum last week when he emphasized on the need to cut dependence on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as well. On Tuesday, he told Malaysian lawmakers:

🗣️When I had a meeting with President Xi Jinping, he immediately said, ‘I refer to Anwar’s proposal on the Asian Monetary Fund,’ and he welcomed discussions.

‼️Chatgpt Pretty Intelligent, Did Not Recommend Bitcoin, Peter Schiff Tweets

Economist Peter Schiff praised the artificial intelligence of the Chatgpt assistant for omitting bitcoin in a suggested “recession-proof” portfolio. The long-time gold proponent commented on a report claiming the chatbot has recommended “massive allocations” in precious metals.

Rigorous crypto opponent Peter Schiff took to social media to highlight a recent report revealing that Openai’s Chatgpt has not considered bitcoin as an option when prompted to advise about a recession-resistant investment portfolio.

The referenced experiment has been conducted by a platform offering information on gold IRA (individual retirement account) investments. According to a blog post, the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot was asked to produce example allocations “resistant to boom and bust cycles.”

According to a press release by Gold IRA Guide, Chatgpt suggested diversification across a range of cash-like assets and commodities. The mix included defensive stocks, bonds, cash, and precious metals to create a “truly recession-resistant portfolio.”

The announcement details that the allegedly “ideal model” included 40% bonds, such as fixed-income government and corporate bonds, and 30% blue chip stocks like healthcare, utilities, and essential consumer goods. For cash and its various equivalents — U.S. dollars, money market funds, and certificates of deposit — were reserved as 10% of the portfolio.

Gold and other precious metals, in the form of physical and “paper-backed” gold and silver assets, including gold ETFs and mining stocks, got 20%. “This figure far exceeds the number proposed by prominent ‘gold bug’ wealth managers such as Ray Dalio and Peter Schiff,” the authors remarked.

💲Analysts Weigh In on BRICS Currency as Tool to Face US Dollar-Based Sanctions

Analysts have begun considering using a future BRICS currency to sidestep U.S. sanctions and the dollar’s influence in international markets.

While the rise of the U.S. dollar was significant to spur an era of economic growth after World War II, the so-called weaponization of its ubiquitous use has made some countries consider other options for international trade.

‼️Growing Links Between Middle East, Russia, China Pose Huge Challenge for US, Warns Former Treasury Secretary

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers has expressed concerns that a rising number of countries, including China, Russia, and the Middle East, are aligning themselves and gaining global influence. “I think [it] is a huge challenge for the United States,” he cautioned.

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers expressed concern on Bloomberg TV Friday about an increasing number of nations coming together and gaining global influence against the U.S. He made these remarks on the sidelines of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Washington, D.C.

He explained that a growing number of countries are aligning themselves on the opposite side of the U.S., elaborating:

🗣️There’s a growing acceptance of fragmentation, and — maybe even more troubling — I think there’s a growing sense that ours may not be the best fragment to be associated with.

🏓ECB’s Panetta Reinforces Digital Euro Focus on Payments

🚛Fabio Panetta, a member of the executive board of the European Central Bank (ECB), announced the digital euro project was entering its final phase. Before the committee on economic and monetary affairs of the European Parliament, Panetta stated that the digital euro, if approved, would be focused on making payments easier for Europeans.

Panetta stated:

🗣️We have been investigating the technical solutions that would enable people to easily make payments in digital euro, anywhere in the euro area.

Furthermore, he declared that the digital euro could be given legal tender status by legislators, making all merchants capable of accepting digital payments obliged to accept it.

Panetta also talked about the ideal requirements that the digital euro should fulfill if launched, stating:

🗣️People should be able to pay and be paid in digital euro anywhere in the euro area, no matter which intermediary they are using to access the digital euro or which country they are in.

🇦🇷Argentina to Settle Chinese Imports in Yuan to Safeguard Dwindling Dollar Reserves

➡️The economy minister of Argentina, Sergio Massa, announced that starting this month, payments for imports coming from China will be settled using the Chinese yuan. The agreement, which will allow the country to safeguard its dwindling dollar reserves, involves the disbursement of more than $1 billion in April.

China is currently Argentina’s international partner, and this move will ostensibly allow the country to lessen the weight of imports on the weakened state of Argentine reserves.

The Chinese concession given to Argentina by Chinese President Xi Jinping allows the central bank to focus its attention on the devaluation and inflation spiral Argentina is currently experiencing by injecting resources to stabilize its fiat exchange rate, which reached record lows last week against the U.S. dollar.

🔽Bitcoin, Ethereum Technical Analysis: BTC Moves Below $28,000 Ahead of FOMC Decision

🟢Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $28,000 on Tuesday, as markets prepared for the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision.

🟢BTC/USD slipped to an intraday low of $27,680.79 earlier in today’s session, which came less than 24 hours after trading at a high of $28,626.28.

🟢As a result of this move, bitcoin nearly collided with its recent price floor at $27,600, hitting a six-day low in the process.

🟢Looking at the chart, the latest decline comes as the relative strength index (RSI) moved below a floor of its own at 50.00.

🟢At the time of writing, the index is tracking at 46.17, with the next visible point of support at 43.00.

🟢Bitcoin has since moved back above $28,000, and is currently trading at $28,176.91.

🟢There could be more moves on Wednesday following the Fed decision, with a potential move above $1,900 still on the cards.

🔼Stronghold Digital Partners With Canadian Subsidiary to Boost Bitcoin Mining Capacity by 400 PH/s

➡️Stronghold Digital, a leading Bitcoin mining firm, announced the company has entered into a two-year hosting agreement with Cantaloupe Digital LLC, a subsidiary of the bitcoin application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) manufacturer, Canaan. Under the new partnership, Stronghold Digital plans to activate 2,000 Avalon A1346 miners and 2,000 A1246 models. This will result in a total hashrate capacity of 400 petahash per second (PH/s) by the end of June.

On May 4, 2023, Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDIG) announced a two-year hosting deal with Cantaloupe Digital, a subsidiary of Canaan, the manufacturer of Avalon-made ASICs. Starting May 15, Stronghold Digital will install Avalon A1246 mining rigs, each with 90 terahash per second (TH/s) of hashpower.

According to the announcement, the company plans to install 2,000 Avalon A1346 miners in June. Each A1346 miner is expected to have a hashpower of 110 TH/s. Once all the miners are installed, Stronghold anticipates that its delivered hashrate capacity will increase to 3.6 exahash per second (EH/s) by June. This move puts Stronghold in line with other mining companies that are also expanding their fleets in 2023 with additional ASIC rigs.

♾“While we have emphasized our necessary deleveraging efforts over the last ten months, we think that the most meaningful measure of our work is the capital efficiency of our mining fleet today,” Greg Beard, chairman and chief executive officer of Stronghold.

📌Meanwhile, bitcoin miners have had a more successful year in 2023 compared to 2022. The price of bitcoin (BTC) has been higher this year, and despite five consecutive difficulty increases, miners experienced a 1.45% decrease on Thursday.
