Iran Places First Official Import Order With Cryptocurrency Worth $10 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iran has placed its first official import order using cryptocurrency worth $10 million, according to a government official. “By the end of September, the use of cryptocurrencies and smart contracts will be widespread in foreign trade with target countries,” the official added.

Iran Uses Crypto to Place Import Order
Iran placed its first official import order for $10 million worth of goods in cryptocurrency this week. Alireza Peymanpak, vice minister of Iran’s Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade and president of the country’s Trade Promotion Organization (TPO), announced via Twitter Tuesday (translated by Google):

This week, the first official import order was successfully placed with cryptocurrency worth 10 million dollars.

“By the end of September, the use of cryptocurrencies and smart contracts will be widespread in foreign trade with target countries,” his tweet further reads.

Iran has been contemplating allowing the use of cryptocurrencies to pay for imports for over a year. The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) announced in August last year that banks and licensed currency exchangers can use cryptocurrency mined by licensed crypto miners in Iran to pay for imports.

The Iranian government approved cryptocurrency mining as an industry in 2019. In January 2020, the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade issued over 1,000 licenses for cryptocurrency mining operations.

However, Iranian authorities said that some unauthorized miners are using household electricity for cryptocurrency mining, resulting in major issues for the country’s electricity industry. Licensed crypto miners were ordered to halt operations to prevent blackouts several times. In September last year, the authorities reportedly confiscated over 220,000 mining machines and shut down nearly 6,000 illegal crypto mining farms across the country.

In April this year, an official with Iran’s Power Generation, Distribution, and Transmission Company (Tavanir) said the country’s administration will approve new rules to increase penalties for unauthorized cryptocurrency mining.

Brazilian Voting Authority Might Include Blockchain Tech in Future Elections
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Brazilian voting authority (TSE), has publicly declared it is studying blockchain as a technology that might help the organization in its task of organizing ballots. Celio Castro Wermerlinger, coordinator of modernization of the institution, stated that this decentralized ledger tech was included in a research program called “Elections of the Future.”

Brazilian TSE Is Researching Blockchain Tech
Blockchain tech is being included in several solutions designed for various applications, including ballot and voting technologies. The Brazilian voting authority announced last month that they were researching blockchain tech and the different ways it might be included in ballots.

Celio Castro Wermerlinger, who is the coordinator of modernization at the Brazilian voting authority, stated that end-to-end voting protocol, post-quantum cryptography, shared keys, and blockchain were part of the technologies being studied. This investigation is part of a program called “Elections of the Future,” that seeks more efficient and more economically viable solutions to be implemented in the electronic voting system.

However, Wermerlinger did not offer a timeline for the application of these solutions and argued that the Brazilian voting system, which is now 100% national, was safe due to the electronic solutions that are implemented in every ballot.

Blockchain and Voting
While voting is listed as one of the possible applications of blockchain systems due to the trust and security it might bring, it has not been widely adopted apart from several pilot tests conducted in the U.S., and events in other countries.

Voatz, a blockchain-based voting company, is one of the pioneers in this field, having helped residents of West Virginia outside of the state to vote using their mobile phones during the 2018 ballot. However, this pilot was criticized due to the security issues it might bring to the results of the election. Authorities in the state suspended its use citing security concerns in 2020.

Even after that, the platform was used to organize a mock election in Chandler, Arizona with the intention of testing the platform and the reaction of the citizens while using this kind of app on a ballot. The pilot was recently deemed positive by the city clerk.

Voatz has also been involved in elections in other countries, including Venezuela. The application was used to organize an unofficial referendum against Nicolas Maduro, president of the country, with millions using it in 2020.

Coinbase stelt teleur
Aandeel stijgt desondanks 5,5 procent.

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) Coinbase heeft in het afgelopen kwartaal een groter dan verwacht verlies geleden, terwijl ook de omzet teleurstelde. Dit bleek woensdag uit de kwartaalcijfers van het Amerikaanse cryptoplatform.

Coinbase heeft de afgelopen maanden op verschillende fronten onder druk gestaan. De ineenstorting van grote cryptobedrijven in mei en juni zetten de prijzen van digitale activa onder druk.

Het platform ziet zich tevens geconfronteerd met toenemende concurrentie en strengere controle van toezichthouders.

Coinbase leed in het tweede kwartaal een verlies van 1,1 miljard dollar, ofwel 4,98 dollar per aandeel, in vergelijking met een winst van 1,6 miljard dollar in dezelfde periode een jaar eerder.

De omzet daalde op jaarbasis van 2,0 miljard dollar naar 803 miljoen dollar. Het aantal gebruikers steeg van 8,8 naar 9,0 miljoen, maar het handelsvolume halveerde ruimschoots van 462 naar 217 miljard dollar. Er waren ook 0,2 miljoen gebruikers minder dan in het eerste kwartaal van dit jaar.

En waar in het tweede kwartaal vorig jaar nog 180 miljard dollar aan assets op het platform stonden, was dit aan het einde van het afgelopen kwartaal nog maar 96 miljard.

Vooraf door FactSet Research geraadpleegde analisten rekenden op een verlies van 2,47 dollar per aandeel op een omzet van 874 miljoen dollar.

Coinbase denkt dat de trend in het tweede kwartaal doorzet in de tweede jaarhelft.

Het aandeel Coinbase steeg 5,5 procent.

Lebanon man hailed hero for holding Beirut bank hostage over savings
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An armed man who held a bank hostage for more than six hours in Beirut because he could not withdraw savings has been hailed a hero by the public.

Banks in Lebanon have put tight rules on how much money people can access, amid a deep economic crisis.

The suspect entered the bank with a rifle, poured petrol and demanded his money for hospital bills, AFP reported.

His actions captured public support - with cheering crowds gathering outside and chanting: "You are a hero."

The stand-off eventually ended peacefully with no injuries, after negotiators struck an agreement allowing the suspect to receive $35,000 (£29,000) of his savings upfront, LBC TV channel reported.

Police escorted the hostages and suspect away from the Federal Bank branch near Hamra Street, in the west of the city. Officials have not yet said whether the man will face charges.

According to LBC, the suspect's family were in dire need of their savings, with some family members in hospital.

The suspect's brother told journalists: "My brother has $210,000 in the bank and wants to get just $5,500 to pay hospital bills."

And his wife and brother, who were outside the bank, said that "everybody should do the same" to get access to what is "rightfully theirs".

There has been widespread anger in Lebanon over the strict controls over people's bank accounts, which came into force in 2019. There are also restrictions on transfers of money abroad.

The country is in the midst of one of the world's most severe economic crises in modern times - and its impact is being felt even more as the cost of living spirals and there are shortages of wheat and medicines.

Outside the branch, protesters had chanted: "Down with the rule of the banks".

"Similar incidents keep happening," George al-Hajj, who heads Lebanon's bank employees' union, told AFP. In a separate incident in January, an angry customer took dozens of hostages at a bank in the Bekaa valley, demanding to be able to take his money out in US dollars.

"Depositors want their money, and unfortunately their anger explodes in the face of bank employees because they cannot reach the management," he added.

Lebanon's local currency has lost more than 90% of its value since the onset of the crisis - and the UN says four fifths of the population are living in poverty.

Billionaire Mark Cuban Sued for Allegedly Promoting a Massive Crypto 'Ponzi Scheme'

Billionaire Mark Cuban Sued for Touting Voyager Crypto 'Ponzi Scheme' Calling It 'Close to Risk Free'

Shark Tank star and the owner of the NBA team Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, is facing a class action lawsuit for promoting Voyager Digital’s crypto products. The plaintiffs claim that Voyager was “a massive Ponzi scheme” and Cuban “duped millions of Americans into investing.”

Mark Cuban Sued by Voyager Investors
A class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. district court of the southern district of Florida against Shark Tank star Mark Cuban, Dallas Basketball Ltd. (DBA Dallas Mavericks), and Voyager Digital CEO Steven Ehrlich.

There are 12 lead plaintiffs. Referencing the case of “Mark Cassidy v. Voyager Digital Ltd., et al.,” filed in December last year, they alleged that Cuban and Ehrlich “went to great lengths to use their experience as investors to dupe millions of Americans into investing — in many cases, their life savings — into the Deceptive Voyager Platform and purchasing Voyager Earn Program Accounts (‘EPAs’), which are unregistered securities,” the lawsuit describes, adding:

As a result, over 3.5 million Americans have now all but lost over 5 billion dollars in cryptocurrency assets. This action seeks to hold Ehrlich, Cuban, and his Dallas Mavericks responsible for paying them back.

The lawsuit notes that Cuban spoke at a Dallas Mavericks press conference, “where he strongly supported and touted the partnership between his company and the Voyager defendants.” The plaintiffs stressed that the Shark Tank star “proudly described how he would personally help significantly increase scope and presence of the Deceptive Voyager Platform for those with limited funds and experience.”

They asserted:

Ehrlich’s and Cuban’s misrepresentations and omissions made and broadcast around the country through the internet render them liable to plaintiffs and class members for soliciting their purchases of the unregistered EPAs.

The lawsuit also details that Cuban “went on record calling the Deceptive Voyager Platform ‘as close to risk-free as you’re gonna get in the crypto universe.'” The Dallas Mavericks owner “even hyped up the fact that he was investing his own money into the Deceptive Voyager Platform to further induce retail investors to follow in his footsteps.”

The plaintiffs claim that “The Deceptive Voyager Platform is based upon false pretenses, false representations, and is specifically designed to take advantage of investors that utilize mobile apps to make their investments, in an unfair, unsavory, and deceptive manner.” They further alleged:

Put differently, the Deceptive Voyager Platform was a massive Ponzi scheme, and it relied on Cuban’s and the Dallas Maverick’s vocal support and Cuban’s monetary investment in order to continue to sustain itself until its implosion and Voyager’s subsequent bankruptcy.

Voyager Digital filed for bankruptcy last month citing “prolonged volatility and contagion in the crypto markets over the past few months, and the default of Three Arrows Capital (‘3AC’) on a loan from the company’s subsidiary.” The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve Board recently ordered Voyager to cease and desist from making false and misleading statements concerning the company’s FDIC deposit insurance status.

Indian Finance Minister Asks Crypto Investors to Exercise Caution as Authorities Investigate Exchanges
news.bitcoin.com/indian-finance-minis...
16-08-2022
India’s finance minister has cautioned investors about cryptocurrency as the country’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigates a number of crypto exchanges and freezes the assets of some trading platforms.

Indian Finance Minister Cautions About Crypto
Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reportedly warned about cryptocurrency Saturday at an event organized by the BJP Economic Cell. She cautioned the public and entrepreneurs that cryptocurrency is not currency, stating:

The government has already warned. I think all of us will have to share our thoughts and move with a bit of caution on this.

On Thursday, News18 reported that the finance minister asked investors to exercise caution on crypto, emphasizing that a new law on cryptocurrency is coming soon.

Her statements came as India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) probes cryptocurrency exchanges in relation to its money-laundering investigations. The law enforcement agency has frozen the assets of at least two cryptocurrency exchanges this month. Wazirx‘s bank assets worth $8 million were frozen on Aug. 5 and Vauld‘s bank and crypto assets worth about $46 million were frozen last week.

Responding to the ED’s allegations, Vauld released a statement Saturday revealing that it fully cooperated with the ED and provided all the required information and documents after receiving a summons in July. Noting that the freeze order is specific to one customer whose account was deactivated after using the exchange’s services for a brief period of time, the company stressed:

We respectfully disagree with the freezing order. We follow strict KYC requirements in every country, including India.

“We are seeking legal advice on our best course of action in order to protect the interests of the company, its customers, and all the stakeholders,” Vauld detailed.

Chainalysis: Illicit Crypto Activity Falls — Scam Revenue 65% Lower Than Last Year
news.bitcoin.com/chainalysis-illicit-...

Chainalysis has found that illicit crypto volumes are down this year, with total scam revenue sitting at $1.6 billion, 65% lower than where it was through the end of July last year. “Those numbers suggest that fewer people than ever are falling for cryptocurrency scams,” the blockchain data analytics firm wrote.

Data Shows Illicit Crypto Volumes Are Down
Blockchain data analytics firm Chainalysis published its mid-year crypto crime update titled “Illicit Activity Falls With Rest of Market, With Some Notable Exceptions” on Tuesday.

The firm wrote that overall:

Illicit volumes are down just 15% year over year, compared to 36% for legitimate volumes.

Specifically, “Total scam revenue for 2022 currently sits at $1.6 billion, 65% lower than where it was through the end of July in 2021, and this decline appears linked to declining prices across different currencies,” Chainalysis noted.

Furthermore, “the cumulative number of individual transfers to scams so far in 2022 is the lowest it’s been in the past four years,” the firm added.

Chainalysis detailed:

Those numbers suggest that fewer people than ever are falling for cryptocurrency scams. One reason for this could be that with asset prices falling, cryptocurrency scams … are less enticing to potential victims.

The firm noted that no scams identified in 2022 approached the level of Plustoken or Finiko. The former netted over $2 billion from victims in 2019 while the latter netted over $1.5 billion in 2021.

In addition, darknet market revenue is down significantly this year, and is currently 43% lower than where it was through July in 2021.

An area where illicit activity is increasing in 2022 is hacking and stolen funds. The blockchain analytics firm described:

Through July 2022, $1.9 billion worth of cryptocurrency has been stolen in hacks of services, compared to just under $1.2 billion at the same point in 2021.

“This trend doesn’t appear set to reverse any time soon, with a $190 million hack of cross-chain bridge Nomad and $5 million hack of several Solana wallets already occurring in the first week of August,” Chainalysis added. “Much of this can be attributed to the stunning rise in funds stolen from defi [decentralized finance] protocols, a trend that began in 2021.”

ECB Creating a Harmonized Regulatory Framework Governing Crypto Activities and Services
news.bitcoin.com/ecb-creating-a-harmo...
19-08-2022

The European Central Bank (ECB) is working to harmonize the regulatory framework governing crypto activities and services in the EU. The regulator noted that several regulatory initiatives at the European and international levels are being finalized.

ECB’s Regulatory Plan for Crypto Assets
The European Central Bank (ECB) outlined its plan to harmonize the regulatory framework governing crypto activities and services in the EU Wednesday. The regulator explained that banks are increasingly considering whether to offer crypto products and services, and it is the ECB’s role to “ensure they do so safely and soundly.”

The ECB described that it works closely with national regulators “to ensure a consistent approach and high standards across countries,” elaborating:

There is currently no harmonized regulatory framework governing crypto-asset activities and services in the EU.

“This will change with the finalization of several regulatory initiatives at [the] European and international level,” the ECB detailed, mentioning the markets in crypto-assets (MiCA) proposal to regulate the crypto sector in the EU. Internationally, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision plans to issue its rules on the prudential treatment of crypto exposures for banks.

The ECB pointed out that the regulatory frameworks for crypto “diverge quite extensively” between EU countries. For example, certain crypto activities are subject to a banking license requirement in Germany. Several banks have requested authorization to conduct crypto activities in the European country, the ECB said, adding:

It is in this context that the ECB is taking steps to harmonize the assessment of licensing requests.

The ECB also emphasized that it is working on assessing the risks posed by crypto assets, stating:

Crypto assets put the spotlight on certain types of risk, starting with operational and cyber risks, and the ECB is also working to assess these.

In addition, “internal governance arrangements and processes need to take account of the crypto-asset AML/CFT [anti-money laundering/combating the financing of terrorism] risk profile of the institution,” the European regulator stressed.

ECB President Christine Lagarde said in June that “crypto assets and decentralized finance (defi) have the potential to pose real risks to financial stability.” She added: “This would be particularly the case if the rapid growth of crypto-asset markets and services continue … and the interconnectedness with both the traditional financial sector and the broader economy is intensified.”

Bitcoin en andere cryptomunten doen stap terug: verliezen van 8% tot 14%: stijgende rentes zorgen voor onrust
Business Insider Nederland

De cryptomarkt lijkt sterk gevoelig te blijven voor de rente-ontwikkelingen: vrijdag zakten de bitcoin en andere cryptomunten terug, terwijl rentes op de kapitaalmarkt stegen.

De bitcoin noteerde vrijdag iets onder de 22.000 dollar, een verlies van bijna 8 procent in 24 uur. Ether, de nummer twee op de cryptomarkt, leed een verlies van ruim 6 procent op 1.733 dollar, blijkt uit gegevens van Coinmarketcap.com.

Zogenoemde altcoins gingen nog wat harder omlaag: bij de grotere cryptomunten verloor de ada van platform Cardano 13 procent, ging de sol van Solana 12 procent onderuit en leverde de ludieke dogecoin 14 procent in.

Op de kapitaalmarkt noteerde de rente op de 10-jarige Amerikaanse staatslening vrijdag op 2,9 procent. Sinds begin augustus is deze rente met 0,3 procentpunt opgelopen.

Cryptomarkt gevoelig voor hogere rente
Gedurende heel 2022 is het zo dat rentestijgingen vaak gepaard gaan met een daling van risicovollere beleggingen zoals aandelen en cryptomunten, mede omdat het dan relatief aantrekkelijker wordt om te beleggen in vastrentende waarden met minder risico.

Net als de aandelenmarkt is de cryptomarkt in de eerste helft van dit jaar fors gedaald. Sinds de tweede helft van juni is er weer sprake van een poging tot herstel.

De bitcoin veerde op van een dieptepunt van 18.500 dollar medio juni tot zo'n 25.000 dollar begin augustus. Maar vrijdag is de belangrijkste cryptomunt weer onder de 22.000 dollar gezakt.

Hackers steal crypto from Bitcoin ATMs by exploiting zero-day bug
Hackers exploit CAS zero-day[
Yesterday, BleepingComputer was contacted by a General Bytes customer who told us that hackers were stealing bitcoin from their ATMs.

According to a General Bytes security advisory published on August 18th, the attacks were conducted using a zero-day vulnerability in the company's Crypto Application Server (CAS).

"The attacker was able to create an admin user remotely via CAS administrative interface via a URL call on the page that is used for the default installation on the server and creating the first administration user," reads the General Bytes advisory.

"This vulnerability has been present in CAS software since version 20201208."
