Foreign crypto services are regulated by a new bill in the UK.

The crypto industry will be subject to increased scrutiny as a result of the amendments to the regulatory framework.

Despite Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party's rhetorical embrace of cryptocurrency, the industry is expected to face increased scrutiny under the forthcoming regulatory framework. The financial regulator will have more authority thanks to the new laws, which will likely restrict the activities of foreign companies in the United Kingdom.

A report in the Financial Times claims that the FTX collapse has altered the direction of the UK's regulatory regime. According to reports, the Treasury is nearing completion of a set of guidelines that will allow the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to keep an eye on the activities and marketing efforts of cryptocurrency businesses across the country. Foreigners would be unable to easily sell cryptocurrency on the UK market.

The report doesn't go into detail on the restrictions, but it's safe to assume that they'd be used to compel businesses to register with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). FCA chief executive Nikhil Rathi claims that 85% of applicants did not pass the FCA's anti-money laundering (AML) tests, so the process is already difficult enough.

The regulations are being worked on in tandem with the financial services and markets bill. The comprehensive bill, which includes crypto regulation but is not limited to it, has already been presented to the British Parliament. According to FT sources, the UK's consultation on cryptocurrencies was originally scheduled to conclude in 2021 but may now be delayed until 2023 due to "fast-moving events" in the sector.

However, the risks of crypto and the "pros and cons" of central bank-issued cryptocurrency will be discussed by the FCA and the Bank of England on December 7 at a meeting of the cross-party Treasury committee. The hearing will also feature testimony from investigative journalists who have written about the investments made by British soccer fans who were duped by cryptocurrency advertisements.

Members of the Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee launched a public inquiry at the start of November to gather input on the potential impacts of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and blockchain technology on the British economy.

Executives involved in a $1.5 billion South Korean crypto exchange fraud have been imprisoned.

The latest court action brings the total number of V Global executives behind bars to seven, after the CEO was previously sentenced to 22 years in prison. Six executives were sentenced to up to eight years in prison for their roles in the $1.5 billion (2 trillion won) South Korean crypto exchange fraud V Global, but three were not detained so they could fight certain charges in court. V Global ran from July 2020 to April 2021, attracting approximately 50,000 investors by promising 300% returns as well as sizable payments for referring new customers. According to a translation of Dec. 26 reports from South Korean media outlets such as Economist.co.kr, two high-ranking executives named Mr. Yang and Mr. Oh were sentenced to eight and three years in prison, respectively, for their roles in defrauding investors. Another four unnamed executives were sentenced to three years in prison and five years on probation. Three of the six have not yet been detained because they have claimed innocence ...

Putin's plan to change the way the world economy works runs into trouble.

The European Union, the G7, and Australia agreed a few days before December 5 to cap the price of Russian oil shipped by sea at $60 per barrel. This was the start of a new phase in the economic war between Russia and the West. The price cap may be one of the most important responses to Russia's use of its energy reserves as weapons since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but most people don't understand what it means or what it hopes to accomplish. Many people seem to think that the price cap is a way to stop Russian crude exports, but that is not at all the case. On the contrary, it wants to make sure that they keep flowing even though regulations and sanctions are getting tighter and tighter, but not to Western markets. Since February, China, India, and many other third countries have been buying large amounts of crude oil from Russia at very low prices. They can still do this. The goal of the cap is not to stop these purchases, but to limit Russia's profit...

Rising wedge means...

Rising wedge Two convergent trend lines form the rising wedge chart pattern. The first trend line in the pattern connects the recent lows and highs. The result is an upturned triangle. Unlike a rising wedge, a falling wedge falls. Because the low has surpassed the high and the lower trend line is steeper, the rising wedge pattern is bearish. The only differences between the falling wedges are the triangle's slant and the pattern's inference. The rising wedge pattern predicts falling prices or a breakout to a downtrend, and trading volume drops as the wedge progresses. Even if the wedge is still capturing price action and advancing, decreasing volume may indicate sellers are preparing for a negative breakout. Causes and signs of rising wedge The rising wedge pattern follows long trends. It's useful for trading cryptocurrencies. The wedge pattern may signal a trend reversal if a crypto trend has advanced too quickly and far. Buyer-seller imbalances cause major trends. Buyers ...
