Digital Ruble Poses Risks to Financial Sector and Security, Russian Lawmakers Warn
Russian parliamentarians have cautioned against risks associated with the introduction of a digital ruble. Among them are the likely increase of competition pressure on banks and new challenges that may arise in the field of information security.
Financial Market Committee Sees Threats in Digital Ruble ProjectRussia’s digital fiat, currently under development, brings certain risks that lawmakers want the central bank to carefully examine. The implementation of the digital ruble may pose a challenge for the country’s financial sector, members of the important Financial Market Committee at the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, have noted after deliberations on the project.
The conclusion comes in response to the “Main Directions of Monetary Policy Until 2024” presented by the Central Bank of Russia (CBR), crypto news outlet Forklog reported this week. The document covers the prospects for the launch of a national digital currency among other aspects of Moscow’s government monetary policy.

Kyle Bass: Bitcoin’s Days Are Over, Investors Should Move On
For many, bitcoin has become the prime investment tool. If you want to strike it rich and have all your wealth solidly in one place, one needs to invest in the world’s primary digital currency by market cap. That’s the attitude several traders have, but it’s not shared by all. A few – such as Kyle Bass – believe that the big money has already been made in BTC, and the time has come to move on.
Kyle Bass On Bitcoin… It’s Days Are NumberedBass is the founder and chief investment officer at Hayman Capital Management. In a recent interview, he stated that he thinks bitcoin has run its course, and that investors have already made all they’re going to make on the currency. He believes the time has come for investors to refocus their attention and turn to other tools if they’re looking to keep their wealth stable.
One of the reasons Bass thinks BTC might be over and done with is because he sees heavy regulation making its way into countries like the U.S. in 2022. He says that following the China crackdown that occurred over the summer, there will be many other countries that repeat this behavior given that the entire space is largely unregulated and puts people at risk of losing their funds to hackers.

Myanmar’s military-ruled government is proposing to enact laws that will see users of virtual private networks (VPN) and digital currencies being jailed for up to three years. In addition, offenders will be made to pay fines of up to $2,800.
Draft Bill Open for CommentsMyanmar’s military-ruled government is proposing to enact a law that outlaws the use of virtual private networks (VPN) and digital currencies in that country. Once enacted, violators of the new law not only face jail time but will be made to pay a fine.According to a report published by The Register, individuals caught using VPNs will face a possible jail sentence of between one and three years. In addition, offenders may also be asked to pay a fine of $2,800 or five million Myanmar Kyats. Digital currency users, on the other hand, face a minimum jail term of six months and a maximum of up to one year. They will also be liable to pay fines of up to $2,800.Besides targeting digital currency and VPN users, the military government’s proposed regulations will compel service providers to provide the personal information of users when requested to do so by authorities.A draft bill signed by Soe Thein, the permanent secretary of the Military’s Transport and Communications Ministry, is currently open for comments. As suggested in the report, citizens will be allowed to comment on the draft until January 28.
Proposed Law CriticizedReacting to the proposals, Alp Toker, the director of Netblocks — an internet monitoring company — is quoted in the report criticising the military government’s attempts to include provisions that were previously rejected by industry and civil society. The director said:
The proposed bill is draconian, even by the standards of the Burmese [Myanmar] military. The first version of the bill proposed in February 2021 was dropped after industry and civil society united to push back, but the military has been set on getting its way.

XRP Lawsuit: Blockchain Association Requests Court To Allow It Support Ripple In SEC Case
US-based crypto lobbyist group, the Blockchain Association, has filed an amicus brief seeking to be enjoined to support Ripple in the SEC vs Ripple lawsuit.
In the 39-page document dated October 28, the group throws its weight behind Ripple’s argument that the SEC is wrong on the law and that its pattern of regulation by enforcement is harmful to both US crypto companies and the investors that it’s meant to protect.
For close to two years, Ripple and two top executives have been battling a lawsuit brought against them by the US Securities and Exchange Commission over allegations that the trio issued XRP tokens for sale in contravention of the Securities Act. According to the group, by attempting to use the Howey test in justifying XRP as a security despite failing to guide the definition of an “investment contract”, the SEC was resulting in “regulation by enforcement”, which was illegal.

Study Reveals South Korea’s ‘Kimchi Premium’ Strongly Linked to International Remittances to China
A newly-released study published in December 2022 reveals that South Korea’s “kimchi premium,” the divergence in cryptocurrency valuations on Korean exchanges compared to Western trading platforms, is strongly associated with a surge in international remittances to China.
Examination of Overseas Remittances to China Uncovers Strong Correlation with South Korea’s ‘Kimchi Premium’According to a study conducted by Jangyoun Lee, an assistant professor at Incheon National University, and Taehee Oh of the Bank of Korea, South Korea’s kimchi premium appears to be significantly correlated with an influx of overseas remittances to China. The researchers note that the first instance of the kimchi premium in South Korea occurred in 2016, when there was high demand for bitcoin among Korean investors but a limited supply of BTC. Essentially, the kimchi premium refers to the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency assets being significantly higher in South Korea than on Western exchanges.
